GAVE DRUMMER A SCARE.
Delayed Telegram Suggested Awful
Possibilities.

There was travelling man." said
the night operator, whose wife pre-
sented him with son while he was
out drumming up trade. The doctor
got the mans address, and, since his
wife was doing none too well, wrote
out a message giving him the news
and telling him to return.
THE doctor gave the message to
the cook, who couldn't read. She
forgot to send it, and the next day the
drummer came home of his own ac-
cord.
Gle stayed day or two, found his
wife doing all right, and set out on
his rounds again. Nothing, as it hap
pened; was said about the forgotten
telegram.
"And at the end of the week the
telegram was remembered by the
cook. With an exclamation OF horror
you know she couldn't read--she
hurried to the Office and sent to the
drummer that delayed message. When
he got it that night he was terrified.
What he read was this:
Another addition--a son; your
wife very i'll; return at once
"He took the midnight train for
home. He was like a man in trance.
Another he kept muttering in a
dazed voice. Impossible!
ION getting home he was so reliev-
ed when everything was explained to
him that he decided not to fire the
cook, after all"

NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT 1T.
Man Has Good Reasons for Looking
at Inside of His Hat.

81 see here that a woman writer
wonders why a man always looks In
his hat before he puts it on" said the
reflective man as he looked up from
his paper. Here is what she says:
When man puts on his hat he most
always looks inside it first. What he
expects to see remains mystery, but
he looks for it all the same That's
easy. He looks in his hat to zee II
the knot holding the inside band to-
gether will be at the back Of his head
when he puts 1t on. Now il she'll tell
me why a woman always pulls down
her veil and purses up her mouth be-
fore she steps out of doors, We'll cali
1t square.
Funny, the things you read in the
Sunday papers. / see here that an
other Chicago professor got up on his
hind legs to declare that there should
be schools of love, and the young
should be educated In love- Slush!
Schools of love aren't necessary. The
young of the softer sex inherit sufi-
GENTLY large stock of knowledge on
this subject from their mothers, and
what they can't teach the young
men 1t isn't necessary for them to
know"

Even doing good to people is hard
work If you have too much of 1t to do.
No one knows this better than the
Woodworking, conscientious family

or loses so much sleep he sometimes
gets out of sorts. An overworked
Ohio doctor tells his experience:

details Of another business, my health
broke down completely, and / was lit

Il suffered from Indigestion and
constipation, loss of weight and appe-
tite, bloating and pain after meals,
loss of memory and lack of nerve
force for continued mental applica-
ton.
Il became irritable, easily angered
and respondent without cause. The
hearts action became irregular and
weak, with frequent attacks of palpi-
tation during the first hour of two
after retiring.
Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas
came for my lunch one day and
pleased me particularly with the re-
suit. / got more satisfaction from 1t
than from anything l had eaten for
months, and on further investigation
and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my
morning and evening meals, served
usually with cream and a sprinkle Of
salt or sugar.

permanent in weight as well as in
physical and mental endurance. In q

WORST CASE OF ECZEMA.
Spread Rapidly Over Body--Limbs
and Arms Had to Be 6andaged--
Marvellous Cure by Cuticura.

my son, who is now twenty-five
years of age, when he was four
months old began to have eczema on
his face, spreading quite rapidly until
he was nearly covered. We had all
the doctors around us, and some from
larger places, but no one helped him
a particle. The eczema was something
terrible, and the doctors said 1t was
the worst case tlSsy ever saw. AT
times his whole body and face were
covered. all but his feet. had to
bandage his limbs and arms; his
scalp was Just dreadful. A friend
leased me to try Cuticura, and be-
gan to use all three Of the Cuticura
Remedies. He was better in two
months; and in six months he was
well. Mrs. r. i. Risley, Piermont.

Rheumatism can be inherited and that
fact proves it to be disease of the blood
1t is necessary, therefore, to treat it
through the blood il permanent cure

give temporary relief from pain but as
long as the poisonous acid is i'll the blood
the pain will return, perhaps i'll a new
place, but it will surely return. DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills caro- rheumatism be-
cause they go directly to the seat of the
disorder, purifying and enriching the
blood.
Mrs. Henry Gotta, of West Cheshire,

of three weeks during which I was con-

awful and the doctors medicine did not
help me.
Zone day neighbor told me about
DR.. Williams Pink Pills and | decided to
try them. After had taken them a
short time was decidedly better and a
few more boxes cured me. What is
better, the cure was permanent"

tone up the stomach and restore impaired
digestion, bring healthful, refreshing
sleep, give strength to the weak and make
miserable, complaining people strong,
