Consumptives Find Re lief from Old Corn
 Whiskey.

Some interesting experiments covering a period of three years have been made by two leading physicians in Georgia. who have made a special study of tubercular troubles. After thorough tests they have learned that old corn whiskey distilled by the old-fashioned, primitive process and properly aged. contains properties which are specially healing and soothing to the lungs. Twelve patients afflicted with we'll developed lung trouble were given corn whiskey exclusively, the results being high iy satisfactory. The ravages of the disease were promptly stayed and it's progress checked in every case.
 These experiments have demonstrated tho value of corn whiskey. the only difficulty being how to obtain the proper article. The average whiskey which is distilled for com merciaI purposes has no value whatever. The R. M Rose Company. of Atlanta, who have been distn!ers for thirty years. produce only the best. Every ounce of their ceisbrated old Georgia corn whtskey is distilled by the same old-fashioned meth cd used hy our forefathegR. It is made in copper stills oN CT slow open fires the first and last ccnaideration being quality and Nhysicians in Atlanta who prescribe whiS- key are careful to specify "Roses."
 They will take pleasure in sending to any address q valuable little book showing hew those disposed toward lung troubles have re- celved great benefit. Address R. M. Rose Company, Box ses, Atlanta. Georgia

FIRE IN WETUMPKA,
The Riverside Inn is Entirely Con-
 stunned by the F'Iamem

sumed by the Flames.
 Wetumpka, Oct. 17.-(Special. )- Sunday afternoon about 3:30 o'clocL the Riverside Inn. q three story brick hotel, caught fire and was entireIv consumed. It looked at one time as If the whole of that end of town would go up in flames: other nearby buildings caught but, owing to the heroic efforts or the citizens. were extinguished.,
 Across the street are two large ware houses filled to overflowing with cot ton. which made the probabilities of a more serious confiagration imminent four bales of cotton caught and were burned. To the rear of the Riverside Inn was barn in which Mir, w. E Thomas had stored TOO bushels of corn a little more than half of this years crop, which was entirely destroyed.
 The hotel was the property of Mrs NJ. E. Thomas and was insured with furnishings for $6,OOO. which was hardly 50 per cent of the value. Mr and Mrs. Walter Thomas. MT. and Mrs. Claud Thomas and Mrs. I,onie Williams lost many of their household effects. travelling salesman from Georgia. MT. Horn, lost some of his book with about $40 worth of unused tickets.
 Accommodations for the travelling public will be very much hampered for the present. but the probabilities are that In a very short time new and commodious hotel. with all conven- fences. will be opened to the public. It Is said that a building now in pro- cess of construction will be finished and equipped for that purpose.

 Edward Grady confided to Charley Stanley, his friend. that he had want ed for more than a year to propose to Ethl Bayne. but that he had never been able to summon sufficient cour- age.
 Charley laughed at him. He knew that Grady was a good fellow. though extremely timid. While thinking of some plan to brace Grady up. he re- membered conversation he had ha the evening before with Prof. Walker. . hypnotist.
 T have itw he exclaimed. skipping Grady on the back. Courage. or no courage. tomorrow night you will pro- pose. Come with me and meet Prof walker. He can fix you" "
 Stanley stated briefly the case to Prof. Walker.
 My friend here wants to propose tomorrow night You sec" he said, in concluding, "he is somewhat bashful. It occurred to me that you could help him by hypnotic suggestion
 Let me see.' said the professor. looking puzzled. Yes. I catch your idea. By iove! it can be done I never thought of 1t. I'll work out the details"
 The professor walked up and down tho room in deep thought, exciaiming. at intervals.
 'sGoodl It will certainly work! Open up a new line of business! Cant failr"
 Presently he explained his plan. Grady fell in with 1t. and the professor hypnotized him at once. Grady was q good subject. actingly readily upon the professors suggestions. The professor tested him thoroughly. He had him make a creditable five minutes speech on a subject of which he knew noth- ing. had him stand on his head and read an essay from a sheet of blank paper, and perform a number of an- tics. Then the professor snapped his fingers and Grady was himself again.
 .'Tomorrow night at eight o'clock" said the profssor, you are to call upon the lady to whom you wish to propose. At nine o'clock-remember the hour. nine-you will have. as the result of a hypnotic suggestion that have given you. an uncontrollable im' pulse to declare your affection for the lady with you. You need not think beforehand of what to say, or how to say 1t. The words will come to you by my suggestion. although. of course, I shall not be present. and nothing can prevent you at that time from asking her hand in marriage. You will be for a few minutes at nine o'clock under my influence as completely as you were this evening.
 "Immediately after you speak the words that I give you I will free you from the hypnotic influence. The re- suit depends entirely with the lady. Cur part cannot fall" 4
