GOOD SPIRIIS.

Good spirits don't all come from Ken
lucky. Their main source is the liver
and all the fine spirits ever made in the
Blue Grass State could not remedy a bad
liver or the hundred-and-one i'll effects it
produces. You can't have good spirits
and bad liver at the same time. Your
liver must be in fine condition if you
would feel buoyant, happy and hopeful,
bright of eye, light of step, vigorous and
successful in your pursuits. You can put
your liver in fine condition by using
Green's August Flower-the greatest of
all medicines for the liver and stomach
and certain cure for dyspepsia or in

A Fair Offer Made by w. Vi. Sheldon to All
Sufferers from Catarrh.

Sufferers from Catarrh.
w. H. Sheldon is selling Hyomei on
a plan that has caused considerable talk
amongst his customers.
The plan is different from that fol-
lowed by other remedies, but the remedy
itself is different also. This treatment
for the cure of catarrh' has such an I'M
usual record of cures to its credit that
w. H. Sheldon offers to refund the
money if it does not give the desired
benefit. This is certainly one of the fair
est offers that can be made and any one
who has catarrh and does not take ad-
vantage of it is doing himself or herself
an injustice.
Do not suffer any longer with tickling,
smarting, burning, eye watering troubles
that afflict those who have catarrh.
Hyomei will cure you, but if you should
not lind it adapted to your case, w. H.
Sheldon will return your money.

Cures Dyspepsia Even More Quickly Now
Than at Other Seasons.
The point of least resistance is the
proper place of attack. This holds good
either in West Point tactics or in the
treatment of disease.
The summer is the best season in the
whole year for the treatment and cure
of stomach troubles. The out door life,
the common use of fruits and vegetables,
and the lessened strain upon the diges-
tive organs, all help the cure.
Just take a Mona tablet after each
meal and complete the cure. This
remedy mingles with the food you eat
and aids digestion, it soothes and heals
any inflammation that may be present
in the lining of the stomach, gives tone
and strength to the digestive organs,
builds up the nervous system, and soon
restores complete health.
DIR. Sheldon has so much confidence
in the curative powers of Mona that
he guarantees to refund its cost in case
it does not effect cure. Two weeks
treatment costs but SOC. Use it regu-
larly for month and if you are not
more than satisfied with the results,
take back the empty boxes to DR.. Shell
don and he will refund your money
without question. A guarantee like this
shows the confidence he has in the
remedy.
Now is the time to get well by using
Mona.

"One large source of hair getting is
gone. There is a large falling off Of the
supply from Brittany, where we used
to send agents. 1t was not at all UNI
common in the old days for girls to
sell their splendid tresses that they
might purchase their wedding trOus-
seau, aid in the furnishing Of the flu
ture home, and thereby hasten the
marriage ceremony. Even the wives of
well-to-do farmers would barter their
locks for priced trinkets.
Then the trickSters, with false Jew
els and bogus satins, appeared. They
killed the goose that laid the golden
egg, and in many instances came near
getting killed themselves. The young
men and the old men grew weary OF
shock-haired women who had little to
show for the sacrifice of their good
looks. 1t became customary, as soon
as the hair agent set up his tent at a
fair, to topple it over on him. His
goods were scattered to the winds, and
then he would be so beaten that he was
glad to escape with his life to seek
some new, less dangerous and less
profitable occupation.
1.-The manufacturers easily might i'm
port tons of hair from South America,
Japan and China, and they do import a
good deal, but 1t is SO inferior in length
and chiefly because of it's cOarseness

- HERE is tragedy in every trade"
said the dealer in human hair.
There are heart breaking things we
have to do because the public must
have what it wants. To live ourselves,
we have to keep close watch on just
what the public does want. This is, Of
course, true of every other business.
but the personal contact, the buying of
what is really a part of one person
and selling it to another, makes some
of our work particularly trying on the
sympathies. It is not true, as a rule,
that people with money are apt to be
IN need of hair, and that people with
out means have abundant crops, but it
usually seems so to US. This may be
because those who are both without
money and without hair make the best
Of their condition, while those who
have the money and lack the locks can
supply the latter
THE greatest demand is for white
and gray hair. The pure white is so
rare that it brings quite fabulous
prices. By bleaching it is easy enough
to have full supply, but when this is
contrasted with the real article the diff
ference is startling. The manufactured
article is a remarkably good imitation.
but It's inferiority, what is called the
dead look, is as apparent as the diff
ference between artificial and sunlight.

fingers through the beautiful white
waves of her hair that streamed off to
