1t is just a common cold, people say,
there's no danger in that. Admitting their
statement, then there are uncommon colds,
colds which are dangerous for many a
fatal sickness begins with cold. If we
could tell the common cold from the un-
common we could feel quite safe But we
can't. The uncommon variety is rarely
recognized until it has fastened its hold on
the lungs, and there are symptoms of con-
sumption.
At the first symptoms the careful person
will heed the warning by taking mild
laxative; some vegetable pill that will not
disturb the system or cause gripping. About
the best is UDr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. "
If the cold starts with cough and it
persists then some local treatment for this
condition should be taken. A well known
Alternative extract which has been highly
recommended by thousands of users, is
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
This tonic compound Is composed of an
extract of roots and herbs and has sootli-
ing effect upon the mucous membrane,
allays the irritation and at the same time
works in the proper and reasonable way.

Between the ages of fifteen and forty five
the time when womanhood begins and moth
erhood ends it is estimated that the aggre-
gate term of woman's suffering is ten years.
Ten years out of thirty! One-thitd d OF the
best part of a woman's life sacrificed Think
of the enormous loss of time! But time is
not all that is lost. Those years of suffering
steal the bloom from the cheeks, the bright
ness from the eyes, the fairness from the

SMART BEARS.
Dug Tunnel to Store of Apples and
 Toasted All Winter.

From the Salladosburg (Pa) Cor. Phila- delphia Record.
 Pennsylvania black bears never played more cunning nor more expensive trick than the family of black rascals who all of last winter robbed Farmer Eli Mack of of Bobst mountain, making him the poor CT by at least s25O. Though MT. Mack succeeded in killing three of the thieves after the most sensational of disclosures made upon his sadly depleted stock of po- tatoes and apples, yet both hides and belts were not in condition that commanded much money. He made less than $40 out of the three bears, so that he is yet over s20o to the bad for having furnished a winters forage to a ravenous family.
 MT. Mack has one of the best little fruit farms in Lycoming county. His nigh, dry and south-slope fields yield fruit that keeps we'll One half of his orchard is of the russet varlety-an apple that is a splendid keeper, so that it has long been his custom to store this variety of fruit in specially built cave until spring when market prices reach double the figures commanded in the fall and early wirter months. Last fall he stores 1S0 bushels of russets. A small section of the cave was reserved for seventy-five bushels or late fall potatoes. It was late in Novem- her when he closed and sealed the cave for the winter. with the expectations or a good market and robust prices during April and May.
 But imagine the chagrin of the Macks when they opened the cave three weeks ago to find that nearly all the fruit and the apples were gone. Last fall, in order to accommodate larger quantity of ap- ples, they had dug the cave further into the hill and at the extreme rear had nor lowed out chamber as wide as the rock walls would permit Every apple was gone out of the chamber and in the pot tom of the cave was a yawning hole thar ran somewhere into the depths Of the earth. Lowering a lantern into this hole, Mack and his boys were not long in dis- covering that it wss an opening into an- other underground chamber almost as large as their own cave. The opening to the lower cave, they discovered later was on the other side of the hill, under d cliff of rocks. the mouth being well snei- tered by scrub oaks and little lemiocks They discovered. too, that the big open

THE E.E. FORBES
 PIANO SALE Continues to Brin0 People to Blrm-
 !nghdTn PIANOS AT FACTORY COST

The sale of the Frank G. Fite pianos purchased by the E. E. Forbes Piano company continues with just as much enthusiasm as it began. The reason or this is that no piano dealer can com pete with the price at which the E. E. Forbes Piano company is able to sell well known makes. A good mans pianos are being sold at just about factory cost because in the first place the pianos in the Frank G. Ffte purchase have to be sold at once and again on account of the reason that the F. E. Forbes Piano company contract for a certain number of pianos with the various piano facto- ries and consequently in order to dis pose of the number contracted for, are obliged to sell in many instances for what the piano originally cost retail dealers.
 The E. F. Forbes Piano company do the largest piano business in the south. partly on account of the fact that they contract for large numbers of pianos in order to get certain additional discount and so it pays them better to sell pianos at the price which ordinary retail stores pay for them and so to give an idea of what may be bought in this sale we ad- vertise new pianos in mahogany or wal nut case that were originally marked S250, but which can now be bought for $147.5J. Then there Is another piano of q partic- ularly sweet tone which was marked s225 but which can now be bought for $193 50. But no matter how particular you may be or how fine an instrument you may demand you can get it in this sale and save just the same as on the low priced pianos. For instance, here Is a beautiful high classed $500 piano that can now be bought for S33S.50.
 In fact what adds importance to the sale is that all the pianos are guaranteed to be just as represented or nloney will be refunded People who contemplate buying a piano should not confound this sale which has a logical reason for the very low prices, with the mushroom sales that springs up over night. Competitors know we are selling more pianos than probably all the other Birmingham houses combined.

ing had been the winter quarters of family of bears, and it was these creat- ures who had worked their way through to the apple cave. Their enlargement of the cave had. they found extended across the crevice extending to the bears den, save for shallow covering of clay, and this, sometime during the winter, the bears had scratched away, thus opening a way to the juicy russets that must have poured themselves down In a golden show CT at the feet of the ravenous bears. The potatoes went the way of the apples, and when Farmer Mack opened the cave to get load of the latter for market at rate of $1.20 a bushel there was hardly enough left to fill a barrel. There were still about twenty bushels of apples in the cave showing that during the long winters feast the bear family had devoured over i50 bushels of russets.
