One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.

The average man does not a v to exceed
ten per cent. ofhis earnings. He must spend
nine dollars in living expenses for every
dollar saved. That being the case he can
not be too careful about unnecessary ex-
penses. Very often a few cents properly in
vested, like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on. 1t is
the same in buying Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. 1t costs
but a few cents, and a bottle oft in the house
often saves a doctors bill of several dollars.

and all throat and lung trouble are aggra-
waited and rendered more serious by each
fresh attack. Do not risk your life or take
chances when you have a cold. Chamber

His Afternoon Job.

This Hot weather." said a
Cleveland Baptist to an EXCHANGE,
"remimds me Of an address once
heard J o hn D. Rockefeller
make.
Mr. Rockefeller was speaking
about the value Of little things
spare minutes, spare pennies, and
so on.
He told us how one of the lit
tlest things, iE the human line, that
he had ever seen-a little new Of
hce boy-had caused him, at the
beginning Of his career, to distrust
a bookkeeper who afterwards
turned out to be a very unreliable
man.
This boy had come to work in
Mr.. Rockefeller's office. He was
bright little fellow, and the chief
liked his LOOKS.
One hot August af.srn ooa,
as. MIR. Rocke Teller was starting
out to collect a bill, he said kind
ly to the little boy:
4 suppose the bookkeeper has
told you what to do this after
noon3'
Yes, sir, the boy answered.
i am to wake him up when

You Must
Sleep.

If you cannot, it Is due to an
irritated or congestcd state Of
the brain, which will soon de-
velope into nervous prostration,
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; it
is a part of her building and
sustaining process. This period
OF unconSciouSncss relaXeS the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore eX-
hausted vitality.
DR.. Miles Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothes the irritation and re-
moves the congestion.
1t is also a nerve builder; it
nourishcs and strengthens cv-
cry nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give strength
and vitality as surely and
quickly as DR.. Miles Nervine.
During the past winter I had two
ATTACKS or lsalir1ppe which lrft me
very weak. and in bad condition. I
was so nervous I could not sleep. My
wife. after trying different remedies.
went for u doctor. The doctor was
out and ncighbor recommended Dr.
Miles Nervine, and she brought home
and had terrible pains in my head.
After taking few doses Of Ncrvinc
the pain was not 80 severe, and /
slept. / am now taking the second
bottle. and am very much improved"

"A Profound Secret.

Alton b. Parker, at dinner
New York, characterized as illogi-
cal the position Of two prominent
fnanciers, says an exchange.
These gentlemen remind me, "
he said, " Of two sailors who we're
found one day seated at table
before cafe.
Ono sailor had letter before
him ssand was reading it aloud,
while at the same time the other
sailor held his hands over the
readers ears.
1t made an odd picture-lhe
two sailors with their mild drink
one reading and the other holding
his cars while he did so.
The friendly waiter, impelled
by an irresistible curiosity, paused
before the table.
Why he asked, do you hold
your hands over your friends ears
while he reads that letter out loud
to you?'
Because was the dignifed
answer, the letter is from my
sweetheart. Jack is reading it to
me because I can't read myself.
That is all rigIt, but l don't want
him to hear word Of what is
written.

premature opening is reported,

Alabama, and in few places in
South Carolina. Picking is quite
general in central and southern
Texas and over the southern por-

liberately makes of himself pos>
