HERE'S A WAY TO SAVE DOC
TOR BILLS.
Physicians Give Free Advice by
Which Parents May Profit.

Tt was an association of gentlemen,
professionally physicians and chem
lists. all of whom were born in the
drug trade, so to speak, and who have
been connected with it all their lives,
who first gaveto the world Castoria,
which as everyone knows is pleas
ant and effective remedy for the all
ments of infants and children. 1t
has always been recognized as a mer-
itorious preparation, and its rewaro
has been the greatest popularity erel
enjoyed by any remedy ever put up
ON the market; attained, not by by
flamboyant advertising or appeals to
ignorance Or vulgar prejudice, but by
inherent merit. All physicians recon-
mend it, and many, very many, pre-
scribe it. ~
Many parents call in the family ply
stefan. Many other parents take adj
want age of what the physician5told
them when he was first called in con
sultation. All good family physici
ans say: "Give the children Caste
ria Healthy parents know this
remedy Of old, for they took It. them
selves as children. It was more than
thirty years ago that Castoria made :,
place for itself in the household. It
bore the signature of Charles H.
Fletcher then, as it does today. The
signature Is its guarantee, which is
accepted m thousands of homes where
there are children.
Much is printed nowadays about
big families. Dr. William l. Mccain.
of Omaha, Neb., is the father of one
Of these much-read-a about. families.
Here is what he says:
GAS the father of thirteen children
certainly know something about
your great medicine, and aside from
my own family experience I have, in
my years Of practice, found Casttoria
a popular and efficient remedy in al
most every home.'
Charles II. Fletcher has received
hundreds of letters from prominent
physicians who have the same esteem
for Castoria as DR.. Mccain has. Not
only do these physicians say they use
Castoria in their own families, but
they prescribe it for their patients.
First of all it is a vegetable prep
aration which assimilates the food
and regulates the stomach and bow
els. After eating comes sleeping, and
Castoria looks out for that too I
allays feverishness and prevents loss
of sleep, and this absolutely without
the use Of opium, morphine or other
baneful narcotic. ~
Medical journals are reluctant to
discuss proprietary medicines. Hall 8
Journal of Health, however, says
"Our duty is to expose danger and
record the means for advancing
health. The day for poisoning inno-
cent children through greed or ignor-
ance ought to end To our knowledge
Castoria is a remedy which produces
composure and health by regulating
the system, not by Supplying it, and

source of pride and wealth TO its
owners. Lately it has fallen into dis
use and decay and has become home
for birds and rats. The windows
now have scarce whole pane Of
glass left in them, the small boy and
the elements combined having prov !
too much for them. The sashes, too,
have some Of them fallen out. The
roof says at the corners and has fall
len in and the floors are rotten and
ready to fall at the liehtest weight
placed upon them.
Birds have long ago built their
nests inside the old building and
these have never been destroyed. The
chimneys are the home Of innumer
able hordes of swallows and the eel
lars are the abodes of rats.
The good machinery has long ago
been removed and the building would
have collapsed in few years at the
most.
Dye House Also Gooes.
The dye house, a short square one
story stone building which stands
near the three story mill, is also be-
ing torn down. This structure,
no doubt, would have last
ed for another half century, so
strongly was it constructed at the be-
ginning. The dye watts are broken
down and filled with rubbish and a
damp, clammy smell pervades the
whole place. This dyehouse formerly
had the reputation of being haunted
and brave was the boy who would
enter it at night.
Mill Wheel Decayed.
The mill wheel at the north side of
the mill proper is decayed and rotten
and the boards have long ago fallen
into the race. which is empty save for
little stagnant water and rubbish
The boards along the side of the race
still remain in place, although the
nails are rotted away. Grass and
weeds have conquered the bottom Of
the race and hold sway there.
History of Mill.
The history of the mill is a curious
one. Built in the first half of the
last century. it has been burned three
times and has collapsed and crumbled
once. The last fire took place some
ten or twelve years ago AMI since
that time the mill has been in disusc
The mill has had more than its share
of accidents during its life, which
was indeed a stormy one.
"Test's Mill' has long been known
in the county and its going removes
another Of the landmarks Of the las
century and of pioneer days.

wood Heights it was discovered that
the conductor was missing, and the
train put back to search for him.
Near Reading his mangled body
was found stretched across the track
exactly as it had lain since his death.
The last seen of the mon had been
when he was walking along the top,
of the cars. The brakeman noticed
him then and no one saw him again
until he was found dead. The popu-
lar supposition is that he slipped and
fell between two ears and was crush

are certain that the train was going
slowly on an even grade and so he
could not have been knocked off by a

cult to classify this plan. but that il is
novelty there can be no doubt. Any

therefore worth passing mention.
Instead Of examining the candidates
In each district for which congress

usual course with US, ascertaining the
sum total or knowledge, the admiralty
scheme is more in the line OF a "get to-

ers telling stories and the boys, fully at
their ease, listening delightedly.
The keynote OF the whole system IS:
Make the boy laugh. Put him in a
good humor and then ask him why he
wants TO enter the navy, and he will
tell-frankly and naturally, and the best
or estimates OF fitness may be formed
by the examiners" Here are a few OF
the questions put to the boys with the
object OF making them merry:

IF you want to find an American
waiter you must look for him In, the
cheap restaurants" said Oscar, maitre
dhotei OF the Waldorf-Astoria. "An
American walter is seldom seen In a
restaurant OF the first class. In the
beaneries you find none but Americans
ana Irish. In the expensive restaurants
the walters nearly all are French. In
the middle class places they are Ger
man or English, but always foreign.
Il can offer no explanation for this,
but years Of observation have taught
me that 1t is fact 1t cannot be be-
cause OF the incompetency OF the Amer
lean waiter. AS rule man is served
more quickly in beanery than he is In
large restaurant. But the beanery
walters have slapdash air about
them that gives the customer to under
stand that they think they are just as
good as he Is. They shun anything
Ike an air Of servility. They don't
seem to expect tips. and they don't get
them. Perhaps that is why tho Amer.

very touching editorial appeared I'm a
recent issue of the Hebrew daily Ha-

to his wife, that she may remarry IL
ne does not return within a reasoaa BILE
time after the end OF the war.
The rabbits OF LODI have caused n
the Jewish soldiers that left that city
for the seat of war to grant such d.
yorces. and Editor Sorolow suggests
that the example OF LODI should be
copied all over Russia.
Every married soldier, volunteer or

they were OF microscopic size, and at

the same purpose have been carried
