HARD TO SECURE BOATS
FOR OUTING ON FOURTH.

Transportation facilities lacking.
the knights of Pythias may not hold
their Fourth of July celebration at
Owens cave on the Cumberland
river, as planned. Efforts to secure
boats to handle the crowds have prov
en- unsuccessful so far, but the COM
mittee in charge of the celebration,
has not finished its work Negotia-
lions are on now with the Dick Fow-
Ter and the Kentucky. The excursion

cured. There is great demand for
steamboats, on July Fourth, but the
idea of having celebration at the
cave and attractive surrounding coun
try. will not be abandoned until it is
impossible to secure boats to reach
the destination.

EARLY NORTHWEST VOYAGES.
Some Account of the arctic Trips
That Have Been Made.

Beginning with the American dis
coveries OF John Cabot in 1497, the
search for the northwest passage was
for many years the object of rival ex-
petitions from Denmark, England,
France and Portugal, says 4. W.
Greedy, in the Century. 1t was Frobish-
er, however, who in 1576-7S first gave
a distinct national Scharacter to the
quest. John Davis of Davis strait,
followed in three voyages, 15S5-SS, and
then, in 1912, came the illustrious and
hapless Henry Hudson, whose motto
was that explorers should achieve
what they had undertaken or else give
reasons wherefore it will not be-

Fire Record for LAST Year.

The fact that when a servant be-

developed is attested by the dreadful
havoc and loss of life occasioned by
fire in the United States within the
II months covered by a summing up
of these losses for 1906 This record
shows that nearly 1000 lives were
lost and more than $5OO,O0O,O 900 worth
of property was destroyed by fire dur
ing that period. In no other country
in the world is the fire loss, in bulk
or pro rata, anywhere near our own.
Last year, owing to the devastating
fire that followed the earthquake in
San Francisco, this loss was in great
excess of the average, but the average
for some years past has been $780,

Cry Until Tired Out-Speedy
Cure by Cuticura.

MY baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face
and feet Her feet seemed to irritate
her most, especially nights. They
would cause her to be broken in her
rest, and sometimes she would cry
until she was tired out. I had always
used Cuticura Soap myself. and had
heard OF SO many cures by the Cuti-
cura Remedies that l thought I would
give them a trial. The improvement
was noticeable in a few hours. and
before l had used one box of the Gu
ticura Ointment her feet were well
and have never troubled her since. l
also used it to remove what is known
as cradle cap" from her head. and
1t worked like a charm, as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the

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

Any one can mix right at home the
best remedy of its kind known. The
name Cyclone" is given to the fol
lowing prescription, it is supposed, be-
cause of its 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 a 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.

They are hardy race, the Pine keep

them.
A noted specialist In throat and lung
trouble, who established a camp for
consumptives in the Pine Woods Of
Maine, and whose remarkable cures
there have attracted great attention
from TN medical world, says that one
half ounce OF the Pure Virgin Oil of
Pine. mixed with two ounces of Gly-
cerlne and one-half pint of good Whis-
Ky and used in teaspoonful doses, will
heal and strengthen the lungs, break
up a cold In twenty-four hours, and
cure any cough that is durable. The
ingredients can be secured from any
prescription druggist at small cost.

gin Oil OF Pine is put up only in half
ounce vials for dispensing. Each vial
is securely sealed in a round wooden
case, with engraved wrapper. showing
the name-Virgin Oil Of Pine (Pure)

act, June 80. 1905. Prepared only by

many rank limitations of Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure), which are being put
out under various names, such as Con
centrated Oil of Pine, Pine Balsam,
etc. Never accept these as a substi-
tute for the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as
they will invariably produce nausea
and never effect the desired results.

Queen of Holland Has Agreed to Rec.

Among the lucrative sources OF rev.

the toll or tax on titles of nobility
and decorations. Since the rupture
the French government no longer rec

the right to wear the Vatican ribbon,
or to be called count. it was necessary

gave much perplexity to the candi-

The question has just been settled.
Queen Wilhelmina has consented to
validate such titles and distinctions.
