STOMACH PAINS
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills Brought Re-

ing wonderful results as is evidenced by

Tho pain would commence about my
heart and was so deadly agonizing that
would have to scream aloud. Sometimes
it would last several hours and would
have to take laudanum to stop it. Be-
sides this I had headache almost con-
stantly, day and night, that nearly crazed
me, so you see I suffered a great deal.
And when think of the agony en-
dured it still makes me shudder.
" Doctors, did you say? Their medi-
cine made me sicker. 1 couldn t take it
and Kept growing worse until a friend
advised me to take DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and did. I began to feel better
and was soon wholly converted to this

Great Night for the Onion.

The onion has served as the basis
for many quips and filings at the hands
of the humorous paragraphers. And
yet IL is an extremely wholesome plant
and one of high rank with the ancients,
particularly the early Egyptians. For
these reasons it is pleasant to note
that the tabooed edible met with de-
served recognition at what was termed
an onion reception and banquet in an
interior New York town called Union,
which in this case might plausibly
seem a corruption of onion. 1t was ar
ranged, says the Cleveland Plain Deal
er, in honor of the sixteenth ami
versary of the special guests of the
evening and the onion was the center
and scenter of attraction. The house
was decorated with onion blossoms,
an onion center piece graced the table
and the bill of fare included onions
and onions only-top onions, sliced
onions, stewed onions, onion salad and
fried onions. Needless to say, the
guests, who departed at late hour,
went away breathing many encom-
Iums of the fragrant bulb of honor.

Three Great conversationaIists.


The three greatest conversational
lists with whom it has been my gOOt
fortune to come into touch were Mas
zini, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes and
Bismark.
OF these, DR. Holmes was the most
spirited in the bel esprit sense;
Bismarck the most imposing and at
the same time the most entertaining
in point Of wit, sarcasm, anecdote and
narrative of historical interest,
brought out with rushing vivacity and
with lightning-like Illumination of
conditions, facts and men.
In Mazzini words there breathed
such warmth and depth of convic-
ton, such enthusiasm of faith in the
sacredness of the principles pro-
fessed and of the aims pursued by
him, that it was difficult to resist such
a power of fascination.-Carl Schurz,

Az E Hound Street. Columbus. Oklo.
ETAY FEVER is endemic catarrh. It
! is caused by some irritating sub
stance in the atmosphere during the
late summer months. 1t is generally
thought that the pollen of certain weeds
and flowers is the cause of it.
Change of locality seems to be the
only rational cure. The use of Pel.una,
however, stimulates the nervous system
to resist the effect of the poisonous
victim through the hay fever season
without an attack of the disease.
A large number of people rely upon
Peruna for this purpose. Those who
do not find it convenient to change
their location to avoid Hay Fever,
would do well to give Peruna a trial.
It has proven of priceless value to
many people.

THE CORNISH TIN DEPOSITS.
Great English Industry Still Capable
of Big Production.

Though the Cornish tin deposits
have been worked from the dawn of
history, experts hold that vast quan-
titles are still to be found in this
metalliferous soil. In the past twenty
years Cornwall has been badly hit by.
the development of tin mining in the
Straits Settlement The fall in the
price of the metal caused the closing
OF many of the Cornish mines, and
incidentally led to the migration of
Cousin Jacky," as the Cornish miner
is known, to every quarter of the
globe. 1t seemed indeed as if mining
in the duchy had received a blow
from which it could by no possibility
recover. A few mines managed to
survive, notably Dolcoath, which
earned modest profit even in the
lean years when tin varied between
ESQ and e70 per- ton. With the
metal nearly treble that price it is
not surprising that spectators and
prospectors are turning avid eyes to
this westernmost county
The enhanced price of tin is likely
to be permanent, for it is due to
natural, not artificial, causes Tin is
the rarest of all the metals, and the
worlds consumption has now out
grown the supply The worlds pro-
duction has averaged, in recent years,
$4,000 tons, of which more than one
half has come from the Straits Set
Elements. About $4,000 tons per an.
mum come from the Dutch East In
dies; 5000 tons from Cornwall; s.
600 tons from Australasia, and a
similar quantity from Bolivia. Tin is
scarcely found at all in Europe or in
the United States.

If your teeth are fit, chew, chew,
chew, until the food is liquid and
insists on being swallowed.
If teeth are faulty, soften Grape
Nuts with hot milk or cream, or
allow to stand minute soaking in
cod cream.
There's a reason, as follows:
Grape-Nuts food is in the form
of hard and brittle granules,
intended to be ground up by the
teeth; that work not only preserves
the teeth but brings down the saliva
from the gums SO necessary in the
primary work of digestion.
Many people say (and it is true)
that when they eat Grape-Nuts they
seem able to digest not only that
food but other kinds which formerly
made trouble when eaten without
Grape-Nuts.
