BLOOD GETS SOUR.
Gives Advice and Tells of Simple
 Home Mixture.

At this time of year, says a we'll known authority, the Kidneys become weak, clogged and inactive, failing to filter out the poisons and acids, which sour the blood, causing not only facial and bodily eruptions, but the worst forms of Rheumatism Nervous and Stomach troubles, Backache and pain ful, annoying Urinary affiictions.
 It is worth anyone's time now to get from some good prescription pharmacy the following ingredients: Fluid Ex- tract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Con- pound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after your meals and at bedtime.
 This simple homemade mixture will force the Kidneys to normal, healthy action, so they will filter and strain all uric acid and poisonous waste matter from the blood, and expel this in the urine, at the same time restoring the full blood count''-that is, 95 per cent red blood corpuscles-which is abso- lutely indispensable to perfect health.

HENS KNEW THEIR BUSINESS.
Never Would They Lay Anything but
 the Freshest of Eggs.

There is a German dairyman and farmer, whose place is not far from Philadelphia, who greatly plumes him. self upon the absolute superiority of his products above all others in the vicinity.

APPENDICITIS.
Not at All Necessary to Operate in
 Many Cases.

Automobiles and Appendicitis scare some people before they are hit. 6
 Appendicitis is often caused by too much starch in the bowels. Starch is hard to digest and clogs up the diges- tive machinery-also tends to form cakes in the cecum. Chats the blind pouch at entrance to the appendix
 A N. H. girl had appendicitis, but lived on milk for awhile-then Grape Nuts and got well without an opera tion.
 She says: Five years ago while at school, I suffered terribly with consti- patton and indigestion" (Too much starch, white bread, potatoes, etc., which she did not digest.)
 Soon after left school had an at tack of appendicitis and for thirteen weeks lived on milk and water When I recovered enough to eat solid food there was nothing that would agree with me, until a friend recommended Grape-NUts.
 "When I began to eat Grape-Nuts 1 weighed 9S lbs, but I soon grew to 115 lbs. The distress after eating left me entirely and now 1 am like new per son."
 GA little Grape-Nuts dissolved in hot water or milk would have been much better for this case than milk alone, for the starchy part of the wheat and barley is changed into form of di- gestable sugar in making Grape-Nuts.)

ZEAL WITHOUT COMMON SENSE.
Striking Example Related by the Late
 pr. Field.

A Presbyterian clergyman was praising the late Dr. Henry Martin Field of Stockbridge, who for A years edited the Evangelist.
 'Dr. Field did so much good" he said, because he went about his work Automatically, sensibly reason ably. I once heard him declare that reformers failed often because the moment they started reform they dropped common sense. Common sense was swallowed up in zeal He said that a nerve cure faddist once entered shop and leading the pro- prietor to one side whispered mys- teriously: An, my friend, you can do the race untold good if you will only take the agency for our anti tea preparation It is warranted to cure in a week the most confirmed and nerve-racked tea tippler. Never again
 But the dealer langhed and drew away. You have made mistake he said. I can't take such an agency as that. Don't you see that this is teashop?
 "'Oh, no mistake, said the reform CT eagerly. It is because you run a teashop that have sought you out. You come into constant contact with the very people we are trying to reach"

The Evolution of
 Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine Dusi- ness is the natural outgrowth of the old-time household remedies.
 In the early history of this country, EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be found in almost every house, compound ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted by the apothecary or the family doctor. Such remedies as picra, which was aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made of whiskey, hops and bitter parks. A score or more of popular, homemade remedies were thus compounded, the formulae for which were passed along from house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated.
 The patent medicine business is a natural outgrowth from this whole some, old-time custom. Tn the begin ming, some enterprising doctor, inn pressed by the usefulness of one of lucSc uUidC-HucuC 4CAuCu1Co3 hOu1u ldhC it up, improve it in many ways, manu- facture it on a large scale, advertise it mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would become used over a large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FORM.
 Peruna was originally one of these o1d-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it was offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men nonite origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased, and at last he established manufactory and fur nished it to the general drug trade.
 Peruna is useful in a great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA and it's value in the treatment of these ailments. They have learned to trust and believe in Dr. Hartman's judgment, and to rely on his remedy, Peruna.

Under the provisions of the bill county need adopt the new method unless a majority of the electors of the county shall so choose at the next general election. By agreement, the greater part of the day was devoted to the pas sage or advancement of local measures these having been delayed during the week for general appropria tion bills.

THIRTY SEVEN DEAD
While 2,153 Were Injured Celebrating
the Glorious Fourth.

The latest compilation shows that
thirty-seven men, women and chill
dren are dead, and 2,I53 are
MANNED, lacerated or burned as a
result of excess of patriotism in
the United States on July 4th. The
number of the dead does not in
clude five drowned during the day.
The number is four more than last
years mortality.
A year ago thirty-three persons
were dead on the morning after the
Fourth, not including FIVE drowned.
Unfortunately the death roll will
increase day by day and even the
late days of August will witness
additions to it. Tetanus, that grim
aftermath of gunpowder wounds,
claims its victims by scores and even
hundreds for weeks after the
Fourth.
New York leads all the cities of
the United States in the number of
killed and injured. Ten persons
are dead in that city, while ten per-
sons are so seriously hurt that it is
expected they will die. At the
hospitals 423 injured persons were
treated.
Pittsburg ran New York a close
second in the grim race, nine per-
sons yielding up their lives on the
altar of frenzied patriotism.

MRS. DR.. BROWN ILL.

On Tuesday afternoon about S
o'clock DR.. J. J. Brown found his
wife lying on her bed partially
paralyzed. She had been doing
some work during the day, and in
the afternoon she went to her room
to lie down for rest. DR.. Brown
went out for little while, and soon
after his return he heard Mrs.
Brown calling him, and OIL going
up staiis he found her as above
stated. She was at first able to
talk, but soon lost the power of
speech. Though conscious, she is
unable to swallow anything but a
little water. 1t is probable that she
may recover somewhat from this
attack, though in such cases it
takes long time before the patient
is able to get about. The many
friends of DR.. and Mrs. Brown
sincerely hope that her case may
be an exception, and that she may
soon be restored to health.

MUNICIPAL GARBAGE PLANTS.

The system of refuse destruction
in some of the English cities is be-
yond criticism. The money de-
rived from the material in many
instances more than covers the cost
of collection and reduction, and, in
addition to this, heat, light and
power are supplied for municipal
purposes. A notable instance is at
Nottingham. England, where a
third incineiator is about to be
erected which will be much larger
than the two existing plants. In
that city one of the by.products of
the plants is bricks for paving or
building. The clinkers from the
furnace are mixed with cement and
under hydraulic pressure formed
into blocks which are said to be
harder and more enduring than rock
itself.

Old residents of Wilkes Barre
and the Wyoming Valley say that
in the fifty years of their remem-
brance they never have seen such a
plenitude of grapes as is promised
this year. The vines are covered
with an unusually heavy foliage
and blossoms. AS every bud or
blossom means a bunch of grapes,
they will have grape jelly even if
the tomato catsup supply will be
short. 1t is said by those who are
learned in the culture of vines that
the reason for the great number of
blossoms is the late spring. The
cool weather, unfavorable to nearly
all of the other fruits, was most
beneficial to the grape vines. as it
permitted the roots to become most
active before they were permitted
to set the sap flowing. AS a result,
when the vital fluid did flow it
came in such profusion as to cause
very heavy feafng and blooming.

trouble for the wood family of Pitts

son subsequently married a very

ter has left her husband and sued
