Cuban Diarrhoea.

U. S. soldies 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 al 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 did him no good. One
bottle Of this remedy cured him, as
our n~eighbors will testify. / thank
God for so valuable a medicine" Fol

The New Chicken Law.

Perhaps 1t will be OF interest TO the
poor oppressed planter Of gardens TO
know the last legislature passed a law
forbidding chickens TO run at large.
The law went into effect April l.
No longer must a man sweat that his
neighbours chickens may have fresh
garden seed for breakfast. No longer
must he stand and humbly swear
while five clucking hens wade knee
deep through his fresh flower bed. No
longer must he surreptitiously hide
the carcass Of the fowl he murdered
In his wrath, Now he has law back Of
him, and the hen has no more right
in this world OF early worms than the
cowI6r festive goat. A hen and her
gallan escort must hence forth play
in their own back yard. Even the
cute little chicks" that used 20 be so
happy Ia the fiue fresh soil OF the
neighbours newly worked garden must
abide at home or suffer the penalty
of law.
In the future when those feathered
vampires, with a iendish squawk
pounce upon your newly sowed ridge
OF radishes, all you need TO do is phone
the marshal It's now the marshal's
duty to run down every chicken that
violates the law and carry IL to the

To Maks Port Wine.

Genuine Port Wine cannot be made
without the Port Wine Grape OF Por-
tugal. II has taken the Speer N. j.
Wine Co. a score OF years ~cultiyating
and nursing to acclimate these vines
in Passalc, N. j., before California
wines were known. The California
soil Is not adopted to them for want OF
iron. Over forty years ago along Tue
hills OF Of the Passaic Valley, N. j.,
where the soil abounds in iron, 'ahou'
the same as along the Douro Valley Of
Portugal" Alfred Speer planted the
irst vineyards with vines imported
from the Douro Valley. 1t required
twelve years of patient, persistent
work and great expense before ALFRED
Speer, now an old man, succeeded IL
accomplishing his object in producing
a genuine rich Port Wine that tn
.nssaicsa prufessfune0dfd rely upon. i
is the iron that gives the deel
rich color and body that makes thi
wine so valuable for females, the age
and weakly persons.

NEW SPECIES OF SWEET CORN
