Saved From Terrible Death

The family of Mrs. L. M. Bobbitt OF
Bargerton, Tenn, saw her dying and
were powerless to save her. The most
skilful physicians and every remedy used
had failed, while consumption was surely
though slowly taking her life. In this
terrible hour DR.. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption turned despair into Joy.
The first bottle brought immediate relief
and its continued use completely cured
her. It's the most certain cure in the
world for all throat and lung troubles
Guaranteed bottles SOC and 81; trial bot.

In making the correction last week in
reference to dance and neck-tie party
at the lcelandic Hall. apparently we did
not make it sufficiently clear that the
church or any organization connected
with the Icelandic Lutheran Church, had
nothing whatever to do with giving the
party. The original mistake was that of
the reporter, who misunderstood the re-
lation OF the Society that gave the party.
which is simply ladies' society organ.

proceeds of the party were to be applied

Wheat took jump to 81 cents in Min

due to w,r news, which was rather more

the fact of extreme cold weather in the

on the ground to protect the wheat.

No Water in Forty Years.

George Francis, a liveryman OF
Lafayette street, who lives on South
Warren St., is opposed to the drink
ing of Intoxicating liquors, and
while he has never touched them,
neither has he drank water for the
past forty years. He claims that
water does not agree with him.
When a boy, he says, he found that
after drinking water his lungs be-
came affected and bled slightly. He
tried the experiment of not drink
ing any water. AS a result he
grew better. Since then not a drop
of drinking water has passed his
lips. He drinks tea, coffee and
chocolate, however. He is in good
health and says he has no desire to
drink waler.-Trenton, N. j., Tel
