Every Man His Own Doctor.

The average man cannot afford to
employ a physician for every slight all
ment or injury that may occur in his
family, nor can he afford to neglect
them, as so slight an injury as the scratch
of a pin has been known to cause the
loss of a limb. Hence every man must
from necessity be his own doctor for
this class OF ailments. Success often
depends upon prompt treatment, which
can only be had when suitable medi-
cines are kept at hand. Chamberlain's
Remedies have been in the market for
many years and enjoy a good reputa-
ton.
Chamberlaiu's Collie. Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Remedy for bowel complaints.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for
coughs, colds, Group and whooping
cough.
Chamberlain,,s Pain Balm Gan anti
septic liniment) for cuts, bruises, burns,
sprains, swellings, lame back and rheu-
matte pains.

Tablets for constipation, biliousness and
stomach troubles.
Chamberlain Salve for diseases Of
the skin.
One bottle of each of these five prepa-
rations costs but $l.25. For sale by the
Kaufman Drug Co.
Love is apt to make a fool of a man,
but most men are willing to take the
chances.
Some men are so nice to their wives
that it arouses the suspicion of the
neighbors.

game preserve is a refrigerator.

we'll known to ancient Greek and Ro-
man boys, who called it "trochus"
(wheeD. Their hoops were made OF
bronze, and representations of them on
gems show that they were driven by
little hook with wooden handle, very
like the modern boys hoop stick. This
was called by the Greeks "elater''
driver and by the Romans CLAWS
Rey). Sometimes the ancient hoop had
bells attached to it, and modern Lon

that eyasperation.-Lon Chronicle.

Natural Varnishes.

Fluid resins or oil from several
different trees are extensively used
in the Philippines as yarnishes. One
of them, called oil of snpa, is a pale
yellow liquid when fresh, but it
becomes dark and viscous after con-
tact with the air. Spread in a thin
layer it dries slowly and, forms a
hard varnish. tits also capable of
being burned in a lamp. Another
natural varnish is balao, also called
oil of apitong. It is white when
fresh, but darkens after exposure
and makes very tough varnish.
Oil of panao is third variety, in
ferior to the others in its drying
properties. Chemical analysis has
shown that all these wood oils con-
sist entirely of hydrocarbons known
as sesquiterpenes.

A Healthy Bill.

A wealthy New York banker,
says the Philadelphia Record, while
visiting his parents in small town
was stricken with fever. For three
months he was confined in the old
homestead, dutifully attended by a
fond mother and a very Jealous doc
tor. The banker recovered slowly.
One morning he decided that fresh
air would do more for him than
medical environment, and in a
short time be was enabled to dis
miss his physician. When the doc
tors bill arrived the banker studied
it very closely. A few moments
later the mother saw her son 60 to
the wood shed, procure an ak and
begin hewing at the hitching post,
which had stood in front of the
house for fifty years. !.
Frank" she shouted hysterical-
ly, believing her son in another de-
irium, "what are you doing|
you'll have no further use for
it." chuckled the perspiring banker.
thereafter the doctor will come in
an automobile" /
