Doan's Ointment is the best Skin

Henry Bowling, plasterer, residing

ment Is beyond question. For some
time was troubled with an itching

able In my back, neck and breast,
tried different remedies, but could get
nothing to give me permanent relief
until l procured Doan,s Ointment.
The itching caused me suffering both

rubbing to get relief, and / could not
resist doing this. A few days treat

Pacts About the Diamond.

The amount of diamonds found
per carload is continually decreas.
ing, as the mines decrease in depth.
The records show that when the
price of diamonds commenced adj
vancing in 1897 the average weight
| of diamonds found per carload of
blue ground was 92-100 karats.
In 1902 the average per carload
was 76-l00 karats.
In 1908 the average per carload
was 61-100 karats.
In 1906 the average per carload
was 54-100 karats.
So, Notwithstanding TIE much
higher prices now asked for the
rough diamonds, the money value
of diamonds found per carload of
ground worked is considerably less
than in 1897.
This is the main reason for the
increase in the cost of the polished
diamond.
OF the entire output five per cent
will make good to fine color, perfect
(flawless) stones which, if properly
cut, will weigh one-half karat or
more ten percent will make good
to fine color, perfect, or nearly so,
that will weigh when cut less than
one-half karat; sixty percent are
thin fat stones (not thick enough
to make properly cut large stones)
or imperfect (full of black spots)
or hrokau 0r rra rked etouae Ot
this sixty percent some are made
up into large stones, If the imper-
lection is slight, but most of them
are split (cleaved) and made into
little stones, weighing from a one
fourth to 1-100 of a karat. Twenty
FIVE percent are rejected-too poor
quality to make even the poorest
grade of polished stones-ft only
for mechanical purposes, or used to
polish fine diamonds.
Of all the diamonds found in
South Africa less than ten percent
of the weight, but representing
nearly fifty per cent of the value,
are brought to the United States.
Buy diamonds now. There will
be an advance of twenty percent |
this year. What better investment |
can you make? We repeat, buy
now. The longer you put it off the
more the goods will cost you.

blood flowing from him. Then he
dropped, and died. You See he didn't
know he had been shot; he thought.

HOW A GIRL SHOULD

Important Advice to the Enoaued
Girl.

Ii Is a dreadful moment when the
two women who best of all in the world
love one and the selfsame man are
brought face to face for the first time.
Girls have told me that they longed to
throw themselves out of the carriage
window Of the train which was relent-
lessly carrying them toward that dread
interview. Men have assured me they
would rather face all the artillery Of
Woolrich than be present at the meet
ing; that never in their lives did they
experience such an irresistible desire to
cut and run. Yet it must come. and
personally think it is as we'll to get it
over. Not in a hurry-oh, no. Dear
reader, if you are a man contemplating
matTimony, if you have found the best
girl in the world. don't be rash. don't
introduce her to your mater until YOU
are quite satisfied she loves you suffi-
GENTLY to desire above all else to get

Yes, give her time to know YOU at

pains of losing you, and then she will

the good lady who has in a measure the
keys of life and death in her hand.
And. dear girl, let me implore you on
Bonded knees. if that posture of hu-
mainly viii touch you, to try your best
TO please the lady. For your own sake
this should be done. for your lovers
saks, for your relations sake. and for
your own mothers sake as we'll

GROWING pain. How anxiously she has
looked forward to- and dreaded, the
day when her son will say to her,
Mother, 1 want you to welcome a
daughter" How she prays his choice
may be the woman to make him hap
by. and how she hopes she may be a
girl that she is able TO get on with.
Yes, you have the power to make
chasm in a home which nothing can

shan't see much of them" And the
girl who says that determines he shan't

sentiments which the fancee expresses
to her friends before she goes upon the
customary visit of inspection.
