Cuban Diarrh0ea,

u. S. soldier who served in Cuba
during the Spanish war know what
this disease is, and that ordinary
remedies have little more effect than
so much water. Cuban diarrhoea is
almost as severe and dangerous as a
mild attack OF cholera. There is one
remedy, however, that can always be
depended upon as will be seen by the
following certificate from Mrs. Minnie
Jacobs of Houston, Texas: 81 hereby
certify that Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and DiarrhOea Remedy cured
my husband of a severe attack OF
Cuban diarrhoea, which he brought
home from Cuba. We had several
doctors but they did him no good.
One bottle of this remedy cured him,
as our neighbors will testify. l thank
God for so valuable a medicine" Fol

blanks provide for information re.
garding agriculture, dairying manu-
featuring, mining, the militia.

information of similar nature.
The answer to these inquiries
should be made as complete and
accurate as possible in order to
determine the progress made since
the last census by the state, county,
city, village, or town in population

federal government, and rated WooC
County with $4,000 Inhabitants.
Estimates vary as to the number OF
people in the county now.
The county clerk estimates tie
present population at 10000. 1t is
true that a great number of persons
have moved into the county in the
last five years, speaking we'll fol
the advantages of the county fol-
homes.

DEXTERVILLE BOY
BROWNS In CREEK

Little Walter Sugden, seven years
old, son of Mr.. and Mrs. David Sug-
den, of Dexterville, was drowned in
the creek there on Monday, the little
fellow being found in the water by
persons who went to search for him in
the afternoon.
In company with his older brothers
he started out to look for strawberries
east of town but when short distance
beyond the G. NJ. & st. P railroad
bridge his brothers told him to 90
back home as he was too small to
walk as far as they intented to go.
Instead of going back home he stopped
to play in the creek and fell in. When
the other boys returned at noon
without him the members of the
household started out to look for him
and found the little body on the
creek bottom.-The Pittsville Times.

but they find It necessary to conform

most part just such dishes as one gets
in hundred other restaurants all over

One reason why 1t is difficult to keep

sounds q little odd, but such purees
there are; also PURGE OF prunes
These fruit soups are served cold, and
oftener In summer than In winter
Even persons not accustomed to
Swedish cooking profess to like the
fruit soups.
In the matter Of meats and vege-
tables the Swedish restaurants are
much like others. There is among
Swedes Of wealth somewhat extrava-

Swedish Immigrants bring with them

We tried our best to get those men

took Mrs. E r. Bowman, druggist.
They said they couldn't sell paint
for more than Sl.25 gallon. Mrs.
Bowman can. She has sold about all
the paint that has been sold there
since.
She knew Devoe: has sold our
artists materials Had some sense
and force. besides; she easily learned
that cheap is dear in paint. and told
the people.
Burt Young bought gallon Devoe
for rooms that had always taken a
gallon of other paint; had half left.
E, II. Hitler, jeweler, painted De-
voc and says it goes further-no
particulars.
John Hanna, grocer, thought it
expensive before he bought it; brought
back nearly half of his paint, and said
it was the cheapest job he ever had.
Mrs. Bowman reports universal
satisfaction. So much for cheap

Sunlight and Eyesight.

Sunlight as distinct from sun heat is
of benefit to human eyes. Unless re-
fracted from white cliffs or stretches
of sand or by other means, it does not
cause any impairment Of vision. 1t is
the natural provision Of the sense of
sight and is in harmony with the nat
ural period for work and pleasure
that is, the day. So soon as we intro
duce artificial light we deal with that
which needs caution. A dim light in
jures vision because the eye alters its
shape to receive the feeble rays. On
the other hand, strong artificial light
will produce Inflammation of the eye

THEY WE'RE GLUTTONS.
The Gormnnds Of the Eighteenth
Century In England.

The Commands of the Eighteenth
Century In England.
Plenty was the watchword of the
eighteenth century gormand in Eng
land. His tables groaned under an ar
ray of food warranted to take away
the appetite Of all save the Gargan-
tuas of the day. One blessing was
evolved from the old sops and the later
blsques and olios--soup, which now
was ever the prelude to the dinner. 1t
was removed for meat or fish-a chine
Of mutton and three ducks in the case
of Squire Hill at Teddington, who, for
entrees to support them, offered pull
let's with eggs, fillet of beef and scol-
lops turkey en- daube, stewed carp,
veal la royale, fricasseed chicken,
with ham and pigeons for center dish.
This was but the first course or relay.
Next came the roasts-two pheasants
and four partridges and six teal, and
now, for side dishes, sweetbreads and
marrow, four woodcock and ten snipe,
salmon and smelts, marrow pudding,
fore quarter of lamb and oyster loaves.
For center dish, mince pies. And men
ate and survived. and still had heart
within them to wait the removal of the
cloth, and, greeting the dessert, sat
over the mahogany until indeed they
fell beneath it. After all, gormand is
not the name for such as these. They
were gluttons.

FABLE OF THE PANSY.
The Family of SIX That Is Contained
In the Flower.

In the Flower.
A pretty fable about the pansy is
current among French and German
children. The flower has five petals
and five sepals. In most pansies, espe-
cially of the earlier and less highly de-
veloped varieties, two of the petals are
plain in color and three are gay. The
two plain petals have a single sepal,
two of the gay petals have a sepal
each, and the third, which is the lar
gest of all, has two sepals.
The fable is that the pansy represents
a family consisting of husband and
wife and four daughters, two of the
latter being stepchildren of the wife.
The plain petals are the stepchildren,
with only one chair; the two small,
gay petals are the daughters, with a
chair each, and the large, gay petal
is the wife, with two chairs.
To find the father one must strip
away the petals until the stamens and
pistils are bare. They have a fanciful
resemblance to an old man, with a
flannel wrap about his neck, his shoul-
ders upraised and his feet in a bath
tub. The story is probably Of French
origin, because the French call the
pansy the stepmother.

LIFE IN JAVA
The Natives Are Grave and Mainly
Live and Ent In Public.


The Javans live much in public, and
the poorer classes, instead of eating
their meals at home, as is the man
ner OF the unsoclable Hindoo, seem
usually to breakfast and dine at one
or the itlnerant cookshops to be found
at every street corner. More exclusive
people may be seen buying the small
packets Of curry and rice wrapped in
fresh plantain leaves and pinned with
bamboo splinters, which are intended
for home consumption.
TO stroll down village street and
watch the culinary operations In prog
ress at wayslde eating shops was an
unfaillng source of amusement, and
very clean and appetizlng they looked,
though the smell was occasionally
somewhat trying to the European nose.
The Javans, like all rice eating peo-
pie, are fond of pungent and evil smell
ing sauces, and equivalents of the Bur
man gnapee and Japanese bean soy
are In constant requlsition.
The natives, and especially the chill
dren, look fat and healthy and appear
TO enjoy life under easy conditions,
though they are, generally speaking, Of
grave demeanor and are not endowed
with the unfailing yivacty which dis
tingulshes the Burmans and japanese.
During the six weeks that we spent in
