We have no mother now.

The Kiss.

A kiss is peculiar proposition-of no
use to one, yet absolutely bliss to two.
The small boy gets it for nothing, the
young man has to steal it and the old
man has to buy it. The baby's right, the
lovers privilege, the hypocrite's mask.
To young girl, faith; to married wom-
an, hope; and to an old maid charity.
The bliss of the kiss however, is frequent
ly lessened, or lost entirely on account OF
offensive breath, of one or both OF the
participants caused by indigestion or dys-
pepsia. There is no occasion for this con-
dition though for the reason that Rydale's
Stomach Tablets will soon correct the
stomach trouble and do away with the
bad breath. They 1.-THE Stomach Tablets

Best Treatment For Puny Children.
Children often become thin and pale,
and sometimes there is no apparent cause
for this low state of the system. These
little unfortunates are known as puny
children. Rydale's Tonic is the best med
icine ever produced for puny children.
1t matters not whether this rundown
state of the system is caused by ill health,
overstudy or growing too fast. Rydale's
Tonic increases their flesh and strength
ems and brings the ruddy glow in the pale

Little Joseph Brewer Dead.

News has been received of the
death Of Joseph Bell, only son of
Prof. Charles E. Brewer, at Wake
Forest. He was only twelve years
old and had been attending prepare
tory school at Littleton where he be-
came i'll and contracted blood-poison-
His father went for him and
brought him home and hoped that
he would recover. He was manly
young fellow, twelve years old, the
pride and hope Of his parents. The
tender sympathy of friends all over
the State will go out to Prof. Brew
er in his sore bereavement Sun
days News and Observer.
DR.. Brewer is the brother of Mrs.
N. B. Josey, and is we'll known here.
This affection comes over the fam
lily at a critical time, as the mother
Of the little boy is still very low,
having been ill for the past three
months. We sympathize with
friends and relatives, both here and
at Wake Forest.

Make This Up at Your Home.

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the ar ticle
taken from a New York daily paper,
giving a simple prescription, as
formulated by a noted authority
who claims that he has found q posi-
tive remedy to cure almost any case
OF backache kidney or bladder de-
rangement, in the following simple
prescription, if taken before the
stage Of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-haif
ounce; Compound Cargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaprilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this
prescription, stated that the ingre-
dents are all harmless, and can be
obtained at a small cost from any
good prescription pharmacy, or tie
mixture would be put up if asked to
do so. He further stated that while
this prescription is often prescribed
in rheumatic Affections with spledid
results, he could see no reason why
it would not be a splendid remedy
for kidney and urinary troubles and
backache, as it has peculiar action
upon the kidney structure, cleansing
these most important organs and
helping them to sift and filter from
the blood the foul acids and waste
matter which cause sickness and suf-
eering. Those of our readers who
suffer can make no mistake in giving
t trial.
