The Harmon twins looked so much
alike as Labies that their parents
could scarcely tell them apart. As they
grew older 1t became evident that to
Grandmother Harmon at least the
twins were a unit.
You were asking me how much the
twins weigh said Grandmother Har.

that afternoon | put one of them on
the scales at the grocery and found
they weigh just twenty-six pounds"

vivid, so like reality, that it deceived
me, and thought it was real. In the
dream had seen Henry (Mr. Clemens
younger brother) a corpse. He lay In
metallic burial case. He was dressed
in suit OF my clothing, and on his
breast lay a great bouquet of flowers
mainly white roses, with red rose in
the center. The casket stood upon a
couple of chairs. l dressed and moved
toward the door, thinking | would go

my mind. l thought l could not yet

preparation for that ordeal

house almost on run, few up the

when his own dpties were ended, and
we often walked my rounds and chat

the night before the boat sailed l gave

Woman is often referred to by man as
doubling his joys and halving his sor-
rows" That may be complimentary but
it would seem to be rather hard on the
woman. For in plain terms it means that
where things are going well with the man
his wife makes things go better. But
when things are going ill with him, he
expects the wife to share half his burden.
And there's more truth than poetry in this
presentation of masculine selfshness.
Men don't appreciate the fact that the
strain of motherhood alone is a burden
bigger than all the loads that rest upon
male shoulders. They see the wife grow
thin, pale, nervous and worn without a
thought that she is -burdened. Among
the pleasant letters received by DIR. Pierce
are those from husbands who have walked
up before tits too late to the crushing bur
dens laid upon the wife, and in the search

The Cause of SNORING.

This is not for you, because you
never snore. No one ever does snore
himself. 1t is always the other fellow.
But you can read this and then tell
that guilty other fellow how to break
himself of his bad habit. for snoring
is merely a bad habit and as such
can be overcome. 1t Is caused pri-
marily by improper breathing that is,
breathing through the mouth instead
Of through the nostrils-so, first of all,
care should be taken during waking
hours to breathe correctly. The habit
once formed of keeping the mouth as
firmly closed as possible, he will be
less likely to sleep with 1t open. Then
see that your troublesome snorer has
a proper pillow. He should sleep with
his head as fiat as possible, for If his
head is pushed forward and the neck
bent the tongue drops back against
the soft palate and forms an obstruc-
ton which makes all the unmusical
sounds we hear when the air is forced
past it.-St. James Gazette.

late. She had gb.en her promise to
another. and that other she welded.
1t so happened that within the first
year the young husband died, and the
widow bethought herself Of her old

make. He did so. and, allowing what he
considered decent time to elapse, he
again proposed. Alas, he was again too
late! Strange to say the second hus-

carpenter had the coffin to make. Then

That our American forests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores of the most eminent medical
writer's and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent OF the white race. This informa-
ton, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue Investigations until
to-day we have a rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots.
DR.. Pierce believes that our American for
ests abound In most valuable medicinal roots
