JUST A GENTLE HINT.
One Remedy Appearances Indicated
Nobleman Had Never Tried.

The earl Of Surrey. afterward elev-
enth duke of Norfolk. who was a no.
torious gourmand and hard drinker
and a leading member Of the Beef
steak club, was co far from Clearly in
his person that his servants used to
avail themselves of his fits Of drunken
ness-which were pretty frequent, by
the way-for the purpose Of wash
ing him. On these occasions they
stripped him as they would a corpse
and performed the needful additions.
He was equally notorious for his
horror of clean linen. One day. on
his complaining to Dudley North at
his club that he lad become a per-
feet martyr to rheumatism and tried
every possible remedy without sue
cess the latter wittily replied:
PRAY, my lord, did you ever try
O clean shirt?"

FAMILY FOOD.
Crisp, Toothsome and Requires No
Cooking.

A little boy down in N. G. asked his
mother to write an account Of how
Grape-Nuts food had helped their fam
lily.
She says Grape-Nuts was first
brought to her attention on a visit to
Charlotte, where she visited the Mayor
Of that city who was using the food by
the advice Of his physician. She
says:
They derive so much good from 1t
that they never pass a day without
using it. While | was there I used the
Food regularly. / gained about 15
pounds and felt so well that when l re-
turned home / began using Grape-Nuts
in our family regularly.
my little Is months old baby short
iy after being weaned was very i'll
with dyspepsia and teething. She was
! sick nine weeks and we tried every
thing. She became SO emaciated that
it was painful to handle her and we
thought we were going to lose her.
One day a happy thought urged me to
try Grape-Nuts soaked in a little warm
milk.

CASE OF ECZEMA IN SOUTH.
Suffered Three Years-Hands and Eye
Most Affected-Now Well and Is
Grateful to Cuticura.

my wife was taken badly with ecze.
ma for three years, and she employed
a doctor with no effect at all until she
employed Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
One of her hands and her left eye
were badly affected, and when she
would stop using Cuticura Soap and
Ointment the eczema came back, but
very slightly, but it did her a sight of
good. Then we used the entire set of
Cuticura Remedies and my wife is en-
tirely recovered. She thanks C~uticura
very much and will recommend it
highly in Jul locality and in every
nook and corner of u parish. l. M.

Why Advertising PAYS.

"You will be pressed for money
oftener because you have no advertis.
ing bills to pay than because you
have" observes the Buffalo News.
big advertising bills and big bank
balances grow, together, out of the
same publicity campaigns" The mer-
chant who holds down his expense &C.
count by cutting out advertising saves
money just the way the railroads
would if they should stop buying coal
for their locomotives. Without coal
the wheels won't turn; without pub
iicity trade comes to a standstill. 1t
pays to throw silver out of the window
that gold may come in at the door.

Dear Sir have just returned from a visit to our lands in Atascosa

ing in Texas if suited.
/ spent two nights and a day OIL your ranch, and while there l was in

considerable lands in Texas.
l was agreaby surprised at the quality of the soil on this ranch. It
was much better than l expected to see, and l consider it a most favor
The soil is what 1 would call dark and red chocolate loan, with ocl-
sonany a little sand, which / consider a benefit in some respects, rather
than a hndHnNe.
1 have been engaged in farming anti rnehing about all my life, and
my mind there is n o question but that the black land on your ranch is
especially adapted to the successful growing of alfalfa, which consider
the most valuable farm crop that any farmer can rase. While in San
Antonio, | aw fresh alfalfa hay on the wager, and it was selling for $l700

off this land, am there ought to be a yield of at least a ton to the cutting.

it is the finest arte&Sn well l ever saw, and is fully up to your representa-
tons in every respect.

cheap homes.
As far al I nave seen, I am perfectly free to say that you have repre-
sented your property fairly, and that theNdacipton you give of it in your
literature is not overdaNn.
If You desire it,, you have my permission to refer any persons inquminr

TUNES PIANO WITH n
AID OF THE TELEPHONE
Scheme Successfully Brings lnstru
ments at Sterling and Erie
Into Accord.

An instance of the many ways in
which a telephone can be successfully
used was demonstrated the other day
when a piano in Erie was tuned from
key tone of a like instrument in
Sterling, the pitch of the note being
transmitted by phone.
A piano tuner in the employ of a
Sterling music store was sent to Erie
to tune piano in the church at that
place. When he arrived there he learn
ed that the officers of the church de-
sired a second instrument, and as they
were to be used together at revival
meetings, it was necessary that they
be alike in tone. He telephoned to
the manager of the Sterling store and
asked that piano be sent to Erie i'm
mediately in order that he could tone
them together during his stay there.
1t was impossible to get the instru-
ment to Erie that day, but the Difficult
ty as to the tuning was overcome The
manager drew the piano which he in
tended to send to Erie to the telephone
and sounded the keynote, while the
tuner in Erie caught the tone on his
tuning fork and proceeded to tune the
Erie piano in pitch with the one in
Sterling.
The success of the trial was later
proven when it was found that the
two instruments harmonized perfectly
