ONE WAY OUT OF DIFFICULTY.
Match Twins with Twins, Was the
Fond Mothers Idea.

A little woman entered drug store
and asked the proprietor if he had IAN
other picture"
What kind of a picture do you
mean?" the druggist asked.
"One like this" said the woman,
holding up an attractive advertising
print.
II may have one or two of them
left" the proprietor said, but !
haven't many of them"
The woman said she only wanted
one, and her tone indicated that she
was anxious for that one. She ex-
plained that the one she had with her
had been given to one of her children.
Another child, she stated, was sick,
aid was crying for picture such as
his brother had.
That's bad way to bring up your
children" ventured a woman customer
in the store. DO you try to give a
child everything he cries for just be-
cause his brother is more fortunate?"
But" said the mother of the chill
dren, you don't know. The children
are twins and what one has the other
wants"
Suppose" objected the moralist,
when your children get older, they
fall in love with the same girl, what
will they do?'
But the mother was ready. She
promptly replied:
Find twins and fall In love with
them"

BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.

Cure by Cuticura.

old when she had rash on her face

and have never troubled her since. I
also used it to remove what is known
as cradle cap from her head, and
it worked like a charm, as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Now | keep Cuticura

HOMEMADE cATARRH CURE.
Sufferers Should Make This Up and
Try 1t Anyway.

Any one can mix right at home the
best remedy of it's kind known. The
name "Cyclone' is given to the fol-
lowing prescription, it is supposed, be-
cause of it's promptness in driving
from the blood and system every YES
tige of catarrhal poison, relieving this
foul and dread disease, no matter
where located. To prepare the mix
ture: Get from any good pharmacy
one half-ounce Fluid Extract Dande-
lion, one ounce Compound Kargon and
three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla. Shake we'll and use in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime.
This is a harmless, inexpensive mix
ture, which has peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys,
assisting them to filter and strain
from the blood and system all ca
tarrhal poisons, which, if not eradi-
Gated, are absorbed by the mucous
membrane, and an open sore or ca
tarrh is the result.
Prepare some and try it, as it is the
prescription of an eminent catarrh
specialist of national reputation.

PINE TREE BREAD.

In Kamschatka the people live in

that of water running out of a narrow

the inner bark of the Pine Tree, mace

them.
A noted specialist in throat and lung
trouble, who established camp for
consumptives in the Pine Woods of
Maine, and whose remarkable cures
there have attracted great attention
from the medical world, says that one
half ounce of the Pure Virgin Oil of
Pine, mixed with two ounces of ely
cerine and one-half pint of good Whis-

heal and strengthen the lungs, break
up a cold in twenty-four hours, and
cure any cough that is durable. The

Quished his hold on the rope, and the
plunging calf could not escape. Those
who listened heard a repetition Of
words that carried them back to the
day when Ezra tried to check the
runaway team, and at last, when he
had succeeded in wrapping the rope
around the village pump, and thus
stopped the brainless calf, he supple
mented his previous expressions with
the crowd.

tew bring it out. This is the second

When Ezra came back from the
barrow farm, bedraggled and dusty,
he stepped into the young pastors
study, and mopped his parchment
brow as he said: Scratch my name

Proper Method Of WALKING.

To derive any real benefit from
walking, the step must be light and
elastic; swing the body so easily from
one leg to the other that it's weight
is not felt. The harmonious play of
the muscles imparts a supple grace
and litheness that is felt mentally as
we'll as physically, and produces a
healthy glow, showing that the slug
gish blood is stirred to action in the
most remote veins. This manner of
walking, as may be imagined,
strengthens the whole body, giving
tone to the nerves and producing just
the sort of healthful fatigue which
encourages sound rest and beautiful
Siumber.
