 Time-Read the Good News,

 After considerable correspondence and effort on their part, George L. Dexter & Go, the popular druggists, have succeeded in inducing the Dr Ames Go to make special short time half-price introductory offer on their regular soc Pleasant specific for the certain cure of all forms of dyspepsia, constipation and biliousness.
 Dr Ames' Pleasant Specific has been so remarkably successful for years in curing these complaints that Dexter & Co are willing to return the pur- chase price in all cases where it does not afford relief immediately.
 Dr A-nes prescribed this specific for years in his private practice with never failing success, and attends personally to its preparation. Every caution is taken by the doctor to see that his directions are followed in the minutest particular and for this reason Dexter & Go were desirous of securing 1t for their customers at the special half price.
 This is a big concession on the Dr Ames Co.'S part and for a short time only. so don't hesitate but take im- mediate advantage of this offer, if you suffer from headache, dizziness, coated tongue. specks before the eyes. gas on stomach, constipation, all forms of stomach and liver troubles, numbness and nasty taste in the mouth.
 So great is the demand for the Dr Ames Specific that the company can- not agree to furnish but a small lot at the half price and Dexter q Co urge all sufferers from these distress ing diseases to hurry and get sup ply. If you cannot call at their store in a few days send 25c in coin or stamps and they will mail you a 50c package of the Pleasant Specific, postage paid. and guaranteed to cure or money back.
 Dr Ames' Specific Is a small and pleasant pellet and unlike any other medicine for constipation the dose is gradually decreased after the first few doses Each bottle contains full months treatment.

Though the corn crop this year was
phenomenally large and huskers hard
to get, besides being unusually eX-
pensive, we heard nowhere of a husk-
ing bee such as were so familiar in
times past. 1t would seem to have
been an ideal season for revival Of
this pleasant social custom. They
were not only highly enjoyable OF
themselves, but proved great schemes
to get corn shucked. The neighbors
came for miles around on foot on
horseback, in wagons. The young
men usually rode horses and brought
their girls on the Group behind them
This was before the days of buggies
and good roads and long before troll
lev lines or automobiles were heard
of. But they got there all the same,
and in numbers. How the corn did
fly too, when the whole party assem-
bled around the huge pile, old men
and young men, old girls and young
ones, to say nothing of the haf-grown
bows who came chiefly to have fun
and play pranks. There was always
singing with the shocking, much Jok-
ing and much merry laughter. Every
body full of fun, and much hot rival
ry prevailed to see who could make
the biggest pile of ears in a given
time. Much hilarity was added to the
occasion by search for the white ears,
the discovery of each one of which en-
titled the lucky possessor to kiss his
favOrite girl.
While the men were doing the husk-
inc the women we're getting dinner;
and such dinners! There were no
packing houses in those days, and
hence no hastily cured meat by the
''liquid smoke" or creOsOte process.
There was no adulterated food, pois-

and no milk "preserved' with formal

DOES NOT NEED A WATCH.
Maine Man Able TO Tell Time Look
ing at His Palms.

Maine Man Able TO Tell Time Look
ing at His Palms.
Walter Mason, living in Newport,
Me-, has the mysterious ability of be-
ing able to tell the accurate time of
day by simply looking in the palm OF
his hand as another would look at his
watch. No one has been able to learn
his method, and, in fact, he himself
can not explain the source of his
power.
This uncanny knowledge is not of
recent origin, he having used it for
many years. When he first began to
use this gift, as he considers it, he
purchased a watch, then looking at his
hand to ascertain the time he would
compare his fingers with those of the
watch, finding his own always cor
rect. Many of the people about the
village who doubted his power and
who looked upon it as fairy story
have by their own Observ alton and eX'
periments become convinced of its
truth.
Walter Mason was born in the towr
of Palmyra forty years ago and wen
to Newport when he was about Il
years of age. He attended the dis
trict school in Gilman, after which
he found employment in differen
mills, at one of which he is working a
the present time.

HUSKINC BEES OF THE PAST
FROM THE AMERICAN FARMER.

dehide. Everything was pure, every
thing was good, and all tasted better
as the result of appetites sharpened
by the hilarious rivalry and universal
good humor. The ham on the table
was smoked in the farmers smoke
house with hickory chips or cOrncobs
burning slowly. The dishes were full
of eggs freshly laid, with no suspicion
of the villainous refrigerator. Many
old-timers will still recall that ham
gravy they got at the husking-bee,
where perhaps they first met their
wives. There is good cream to be had
yet, of course, but hardly like that
ladled up by the misses in their spruce
homespun or newly purchased Zeal
kerr" Biscuits, great big fluffy fell
lows, steaming hot from the ovens
which rested over Goals before the
huge fireplace! No chickory coffee
went there, or fraudulent stuff made
out of beans and dried liver, but real,
"sure nuff'' coffee, cleared with the
white of an egg, and strong enough to
keep all hands awake for long after
supper.
Among the things lost by ad-
vancing civilization and improved
methods" it seems to us the greater
losses are the many social customs of
the days that are gone and none more
to be lamented than the husking bee.
OF course the log-rolling can't be re-
called except in the wooded sections
far from transportation lines, and
quilting parties have passed away
with the disuse of looms and spin
ning-wheels. But with plenty Of corn
and plenty of people with the same ca
pacity for social enjoyment there
seems no good reason why the husk-
ing-bee should not be revived to the
frolicking music of "shuck, shuck,
shuck, won't you get away corn"

END OF THE SILVER DOLLARBAR
The Passing of Noted New York
Saloon.

The Passing of a Noted New York
Saloon.
From the New York Sun.
The old saloon of Silver Dollar
Smith, which he made famous when
he paved the floor with silver dollars
to excite the wonder of the wealthy
and the envy of the poor who patron
lied his bar, is shortly to disappear.
1t was sold Yesterday by it's owner,
Alfred S. Engel, son of Martin Engel,
10 Roth & Berkowitz of 400 Grand
street. They are going to tear it down
and erect on the spot a furniture ware
house.
Business in the place has not been
good since the death of Silver Dollar
Smith. Although it is opposite the
Essex Market Police court trade had
drifted away, for there were no longer
the silver dollars and the five dollar
gold pieces for the thirsty to walk up
on.
In the palmy days of Smith the sa-
loon was the haunt of East Side poll
ticians and one of the show places of
| the CITY. LII was reported GnaG the
wealth sunk in the floor amounted to
| 81 900. There was a fve-dollar gold
piece in the center of each square of
marble pavement on the floor and a
silver dollar in. each corner. Smith
/ kept close watch on the dollars as
! long as he lived and nobody ever got
away with one.
After Smith died his widow needed
the money and took the dollars from
the floor and the glory from the place.
The money had been worn on one side
by countless feet and was no good for
currency. Mrs. Smith took it to the
mint and disposed of it, according to
one report, for half the amount it rep
resented before it went to pave the
floor. She ran the place a year, and
then gave it up. John H. Martin has
been running it for the last five year.

An officer Of native troops was on
outpost duty at Fort Stedman, in the
Shan Highlands, Burmah, and was
sent on an expedition to a wild part
Of the interior, where presumably foot
of white man had never trod before.
Here he came across a tribe called
"Paloungs." He observed the women
were decorated with curious coils of
brass around neck, arms and legs, and
on inquiry found that it was a canon
of unwritten law that all the high
er-grade ladies be thus adorned. He
was Mortified to be an eye witness Of
the operation, the coils being put on
a young girl of II, who lay shrieking
and firmly held TO the ground while
the rods were bent and hammered on.
The neck coil has the effect of gigan-
tic spring, elongating the muscles into
a curious deformity. Each welI-born
ringed lady has a child following her
with a pannilin of water, when in hot
sun, to sprinkle the coil, as the brass
gets into1erably hot, and testers the
skin into horrible sores. This is one
of the most curious customs ever heard
of and in spite of the pain is willing

Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
fifty thousand dollars to be covered by
a like amount from them, or any one OF
them, and if there was ever one ounce
of old bread or any other ingredient
different than our selected Wneat anu
harley with a little salt and yeast used
in the making Of Grape-Nuts, we Will
lose the money.
Our pure food factories are open at all
times to visitors, and thousands pass
through each month, inspecting every
department and every process. Our rae
tories are so clean that one could, with
good relish, eat meal from the floors.
The work people, both men and wom-
en-, are of the highest grade in the state
of Michigan, and according to the state
labor reports, are the highest PAID In
the state for similar work.
Let us tell you exactly what you will
see when you inspect the manufacture or
Grape-Nuts. You will find tremendous
elevators containing the choicest wheat
and barley possible to buy. These
grains are carried through long convey
ers to grinding mills, and there convert
ed into flour. Then the machines make
selection of the proper quantities of this
-four in the proper proportion and these
parts are blended into a general -four
which passes over to the big dough mix
ing machines, there water, salt and lit
tie yeast are added and the dough knead-
ed the proper length of time.
Remember that previous to the barley
having been ground it was passed
through about one hundred hours OF
soaking in water, then placed on warm
floors and slightly sprOuted, developing
the diastase in the barley, which changes
the starch in the grain into form or
sugar.
Now after we have passed 1t into
dough and it has been kneaded long
enough, it is moulded by machinery into
loaves about Is inches long and or D
inches in diameter. It is put into this
shape for convenience In second cooking.
These great loaves are sliced by ma
chinery and the slices placed on wire
trays, these trays, in turn, placed on great
steel trucks, and rolled into the second
aryovens, each perhaps Is or 8O feet long.
There the food is subjected to long low
heat and the starch which has not Deen
heretofore Transformed is turned InCo
form of sugar generally known as POSI-
Sugar. 1t can be seen glistening on the
granules of Grape-NutS II held toward
the light, and this sugar is not poured
over or put on the food as these prevarl-
Gators ignorantly assert. On the con-
trary the sugar exudes from the interior
of each little granule during the process
of manufacture, and reminds one OF the
little white particles of sugar that come
out on the end Of hickory log after
it has been sawed off and allowed to
stand for length of time.
This Post Sugar is the most digestible
food known for human use. 1t is So per-
feet in its adaptability that mothers with
very young infants will pour a little
warm milk over two or three spoonfuls
of Grape-Nuts, thus washing the sugaroH
from the granules and carrying it with
