The regular January sale now under
 way at Meigs & Co., big store is said
 to be the greatest January sale in
 their history, because of the advanc-
 ing prices of wool goods and the un- usually large stocks from which men
 and boys may select their wears. Over
 coats and suits now bear reduced
 prices which are about on level with
 present wholesale prices for goods of equal quality, so greatly have fabrics advanced in price, this season. This
 means that many people of foresight
 will buy at this sale for next winters
 use, thereby saving substantial sums. The stocks involved in the sale are | made up of all incomplete lines of this seasons models in mems and boys suits and overcoats. In the shoe de- | partment, sale is now in progress, in | volving broken lines of all the new | lasts in dull and shiny feathers, at one | remarkably low price. It will pay to visit Meigs & Go. $ store, this week.

be inferred from the multitude of so-called

are often in tablet form and have no value

fects of dyspepsia. The man who used
them may feel better but is surley getting
worse. They do not touch the real cause
of the disease. DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery is medicine specially pre-
pared to cure diseases of the stomach and
organs of the stomach and organs of di-
gestlon and nutrition. 1t is not made to

COMMON SENSE

Leads most intelligent people to use only
medicines of known composition. There
fore it is that DR.. Pierce's medicines, the
makers of which print every ingredient
entering into them upon the bottle wrap
pers and attest it's correctness under oath,
are daily growing in favor. The COM
position of Dr. Pierce's medicines Is open
to everybody, DR.. Pierce being DESTROYS
of having the search light of investiga-
ton turned fully upon his formulas, being
confident that the better the composition
OF these medicines is known the more
will their great curative merits be recog-
nized. Being wholly made of the active
medicinal principles extracted from ma
tive forest roots, by exact processes
original with Dr. Pierce, and without the
use of drop of alcohol, triple-refned and
chemically pure glycerine being used in
stead in extracting and preserving the
curative virtues residing in the roots
employed, these medicines are entirely
free from the objection Of doing harm
by creating an appetite for either al
coholic beverages or habit forming
drugs. Examine the formula on their
bottle wrappers-the same as sworn to by
DR.. Pierce, and you will find that his
Golden Medical Discovery" the great,
blood purifier, stomach tonic and bowel
regulator-the medicine which, while not
recommended to cure consumption In its
advanced stages (no medicine will do that
yet does cure all those catarrhal condi-
tions of head and throat, weak stomach,
torpid liver and bronchial troubles, weak
lungs and halg-on-coughs, which, If neg
lected or badly treated lead up to and
finally terminate in consumption.
Take the rGolden Medical Discovery
IN time and it Is not likely to disappofnt
you If only you give 1t thorough and
fdig trial. Don't expect miracles. II
won't do supernatural things You must
exercise your patience and persevere in It's
use for reasonable length of time to get
its full benefits. The ingredients of which
DIR. Pierce's medicines are composed have
the unqualified endorsement of scores OF
medical leaders-better than any amount
OF lay, or non-professional testimonials
They are not given away to be expert
mented with but are sold by all dealers in
medicines at reasonable prices.

Taking the Hint.

At home stations the private soldiers
washing Is usually done by the mar
r1ed soldiers wives, who are expect
ed to sew on missing buttons and do
repairs, for which a small sum is de-
Quoted from the private's pay.
Pat McGinnis had a good deal of
trouble with his laundress. Sunday
after Sunday had his shirt come back
with the neck button off or else hang
Ing by thread. He had spoken to her
on the subject, and she had promised
to see to 1t, but still the button was
not on properly.
He got out of patience one Sunday
when the missing button had made him
late for parade and exclaimed:
Bother the womanl I'll see II l
can't give her a hint this time, any
how"
He then took the lid of a tin black
ing box about three inches In diane
ter, drilled two holes in 1t with a fork
and sewed it on to the neck of the
shirt that was next to be washed
When his washing came back he
found she had taken the hint She

Seized the Opportunity.


There were bold thieves and bol6
methods in the earlier days in Holborn
Here is an example:
Said stout, asthmatic old gentleman
to well dressed stranger who was
passing: "a rascal has stolen my hat
l tried to overtake him, but-I'm so out
Of BREATH can't stir another inch >
The stranger surveyed the other with
critical eye. The victim was putting
and painting as for dear life. In the
pleasantest tone in the world the stran
ger said, "Then I'll be hanged, old boy
If don't have your wig" So saying
he snatched that article from the suf
ferer's head and departed like the wind
leaving him with head as bare as @
babe's.-St. James Gazette

Improvino Mature.

To paint the lily; to gid refined
gold" when taken In a literal sense
seem processes too absurd for serious
deliberation. Flowers of unnatural
hues, however, bloom in florists win
dows, and the color green as applied
to the carnation is no longer confined
to the title of book. But the Persians
do even worse things In the name of
beauty. They dress up their flowers,
according to Mr.. Wills in 1.-The Land
Of Lion and Sum-"
Persia is not land of flowers Tin
MAS, convolvulus, asters, balsams, wall
flowers, chrysanthemums, marigolds
and roses are the principal blooms Of
the country
The Persians, not content with the
plain flower, cut rings of colored pa
per, cloth or velvet and ornament the
bloom, placing the circles of divers
hues between the first and second rows
of petals.
The effect is strange. One, at first
glance, supposes he sees a bouquet of
curious and bizarre flowers of entirely
new varieties.

Hat Raising In GERMANY.

The etiquette of hat raising in Ger
many is one OF those things which may
betray the foreigner into unintentional
rudeness through sheer ignorance. A
correspondent knows of German
lady who was puzzled and hurt be-
cause some Englishmen whom she had
met before did not raise their hats to
her in the street until the explanation
came that she expected them to do it
of their own accord by the German
rule instead Of waiting for her to rec
ognize them first by the English.
These differences of national etiquette
are great pitfalls. A converse case
was that of an Englishman staying in
German town who accompanied his
hosts wife to concert Walking
home, he gave her the inside of the
pavement, according to English man.
ners, but the host, who happened to
see this, was rendered painfully sus-
picious by this unfamiliar attention.
