How to Keen House.

With all the luxuries and pleasures of
this life, its big enjoyments and its smaller
comforts, there is an offset or antithesis
which we have to contend with in the
form of aches and pains. In some way
and by some means every one has touch
of them in some form at some time.
Trifing as some of them may be, the
risk is that they will grow to something
greater and rack the system with coR
slant torture There is nothing, the&
fore, of this kind that we have a right to
trife with. Taken in time, the worst
forms of aches and pains are easily sub
dued and cured by the free use of St.
Jacobs OIL No well regulated household
ought to be without bottle of this great
remedy for pain. 1t is the specific virtue
of penetration in st. Jacobs Oil that
carries it right to the pain spot and
effects a prompt cure even in the most
painful cases of Rheumatism, Neuralgia,
Sciatica, Lumbago. You want it also in
the house at all times for hurts, cuts
and wounds, and the house that always
has it keeps up sort of insurance against
pain.

from me you said you needed it for, a

high ground south of Festival hall.
The Festival hall is the center piece OF
a rich architectural work crowning the
hill which rises above the Grand Basin
and upon whose slopes are the Cascades
and gardens. Here another million
dollars has been expended to produce
decoration that will distinguish this
exposition from all others.

greatest of expositions. All of US can
not travel around the world TO take
note of what the nations are doing,
but the nations from all around the
world desire us to know and have sent
their best works to St. Louis to be
placed on display.
Therefore, by all means or any
means. see the Worlds Fair. 1t means
everything to your future growth of
