DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in
weak stomach, attended by sour risngs,
heartburn, foul breath, coated tongue,
poor appetite, gnawing feeling in stom-
ach, biliousnesS and kindred derange-
ments of the stomach, liver and bowels.
Besides curing all the above distressing
ailments, the "Golden Medical Discovery"
is a specific for all diseases of the mucous
membranes, as catarrh, whether of tho
nasal passages or of tho stomach, bowels
or pelvic organs. Even in its Lucrative
stages it will yield to this sovereign rem
edy II it's use be persevered in. In Chronic
Catarrh of the Nasal passages, 1t Is we'll,
while taking the "GOldcn Medical Dis
covery" for the necessary constitutional
treatment, to cleanse the passages freely
two or three times a day with DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. This thorough course
of treatment generally cures the worst
cases.
In coughs and hoarscness caused by bron-
chial throat and lung affections. except con-
sumption in its advanced stages. the "Golden
Medical Discovery" IS most efficient rem
edy. especially In those obstinate. hang-on
coughs caused by irritation and congestion of
the bronchial mucous membranes. The "Dis"
covery" is not so good for acute coughs aris-
Ing from sudden colds. nor must it be ex-
pccted to cure consumption In its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that-but for all
the obstinate. chronic coughs which. If neg
lected. or badly treated. lead up to consump-
ton. 1t Is the best medicine that can be taken.

The Tea Wagon.

lar at country houses usually holds
on the lower shelf plates, napkins
and extra cups and saucers. The top
shelf holds the hot water kettle, tho

the tea the little wagon is rolled
about before each guest, who then
helps himself according to his own
will. He makes his choice of either
lemon or cream for the tea and takes
whichever sandwiches arc likely to
please his palate. The sandwiches
most often seen now on little tea
wagons are filled with cottage cheese,
through which chopped green pep
pcrs have been sprinkled. They arc
easily made and meet with such gem
eral favor that hostesses declare they

notice of it at first, but it began to get
worse all the time, and then l began to
get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and
other remedies that were recommended

Simplc Method of Soldering.

Holes in tin pans and kettles may
be very easily mended at home by
any woman with the aid Of candle
and q special solder that comes in the
form of hollow wire filled with pow
dered rosin. Hold the utensil SO that
the candle flame is directly UNDER
meath the hole, and after few Sec
onds touch the solder lightly to the
spot and drop will Immediately
melt off, filling the aperture. When
ordinary solder is used it becomes
necessary to make fluX. This is
done by putting some bits Of zinc In
a small bottle Of muriatic acid. Use
glass pipette to put drop on the
tin.

The husband who is always growl-
ing over everything from his meals
to his laundry looked up from his
paper and remarked sulkily:
Madam, l see where Chicago
man went from home, remained
thirty years and then returned and
gave his wife $4,000. If you don't
do better you may find me doing the
same trick some day.
The patient little wife looked up
from her sewing and replied sweetly:
"All right, James, but if you will
only remain away the thirty years
you needn't trouble yourself about
the $1,000" And after that he stop

j. f. Thornycroft, al English
authority on engineering, in review
Ing recent attempts to adapt the in
ternal combustion engine to marine
use, says that this adaptation may
now be regarded as an accomplished
fact. Trials made between Hamburg
and Kiel with a motor of seventy
horsepower, showed that the gas
propelled boat consumed $50 pounds
of anthracite, as against 1920 pounds
of steam coal consumed by Il steam
boat of practically the same dimcn'
sions and making the same speed.
Gas-engines of from 500 to 1000
horsepower for marine use are now
being constructed in England, and
Mr.. Thorncroft expects to see such
engines installed in large sea going
vessels.

An Alcohol Iron.

Where gas is not available and
electric stoves are too expensive,
there is small iron that has a we'll
at the back for alcohol, from which
extends a wick into the centre Of the
iron. When the alcohol has burned
out the iron is ready for use. A mod
ern handle makes cotton or flannel
holder unnecessary. These little
irons are very useful in the bache-
lor girls room when any article Of
clothing needs pressing, and are also
necessary while travelling. In these
days when white blouses are so popu-
-" they need pressing often.

50 Editor Carpenter of the Democrat is out
with another screed,- fit production of
a carpenter" or d-butcher-aimed
at the Republican press Of the County,
and THE CONSTITUTION in particular, tax
ing THE CONSTITUTION TO task for not pub
fishing in detail the statement of the
Freeholders' Committee in relation to
Mr.. Barnaby, against whom charges were
made, and published in THE CONSTITUTION.
The Editor OF THE CONSTITUTION is all
ways inclined TO exercise the greatest
charity. and the Democratic Editor did not
. find any fault with us for throwing the
mantle of charity over the late meeting
Of the Democratic Executive Committee,
in suppressing all the facts, when the
Editor of the Democrat it was limited
strongly by some of his colleagues was the
crookedest kind of Democrat. In this
case we sympathized with Sunny Jim, !"
believing he was not as bad as he was
painted, but in view of subsequent events
we are led to believe that our sympathies
were wasted Constitution.
The above is the last line we expect to
print from the Constitution until Editor Al
bright retracts the parallel he draws be-
tween public thief and political diff
ferences.
The Editor Of the DEMOCRAT has never
solicited anybody to suppress anything for
for him. II Editor Albright, or any of his
party, have any fact against Mr. Carpenter
in his relation to his own party or The pub
nc, he has Mr.. Carpenters full permission
to publish it. Indeed, we invite it.
No paper can be considered decent that
wilfully parallels a difference one may
have with members of his own party and
an alleged public thief, and until Editor
Albright takes us out of that category the
pleasant relations that haye existed between
the Constitution and ourselves for more
than quarter Of century are at an
end. J. D. CARPENTER.

years old and has a wife and several child

stocks or gambled on the racecourse. 1t is
