Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an.
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however,
good your food may be, it's nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifes the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get DR..
Green's reliable remedies at D. A.

A Little Imp.

Some days ago a Sistersville
hostess was entertaining a num-
Der of lady callers when the little
son Of the house appeared on the
scene. To tell the truth, he acted
like an imp of perdition, and be-
ginning by being rude in mild
way, he gradually became unbear-
able. Finally he commenced
striking at the ladies, ran around
and kicked a few of them, and to
the unspeakable modification of
his mother wound up by splitting
on several of the best dresses he
saw. The callers soon departed,
and the boy had an interview with
his mother. incidentally we may
remark that he got all that was
coming to him, After it was over
his mother, almost in tears herself,
asked the lad why on earth he had
acted as he did. "Well," he lisp
ed, with an accompaniment of
sobs, 81 suppose the Devil made
me do the kickin', but" and the
little frame Strengthened up with
what might have been a trace of
pride, "the spittin' was my own
self"

brought more favorable conditions in
the flood situation in this vicinity
The ice conditions remain the same
but the water has fallen several feet.
The indications are that today's rain
has made the ice much softer and that
it will pass away gradually.
At Steelton, High Spire and Middle
town there is still considerable water.
Some portions of these towns were
reached today. the first time in 48
hours. However, the change for the
