Value of the Newspaper.

A newspaper wrapped around
the body under the coat is as good
as an OvercOat for warmth. A
few newspapers spread between
the quilts of a bed will make up
for lack of bed clothing upon a
cold night, says the Peoples News.
One need not suffer from INSULT
Gent clothing, day or night, if a
few newspapers are at hand. In
fact, we have known cases when
one little, insignificant paragraph
in little 12x1S sheet would make
man so hot that he would shed
his clothing in zero weather to
fight the editor.

LAME BACK PRESCRIPTION

The increased use of "Toris" for
lame back and rheumatism is causing
considerable discussion among the
medical fraternity. 1t is an almost in
fallible cure when mixed with GER
tain other ingredients and taken prop
erly. The following formula is effec-
tive: "To one-half pint of good
whiskey add one ounce of Toris Com
pound and one ounce Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla Compound. Take in tablespoon
full doses before each meal and be-
fore retiring"
Toris compound is product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceu-
teal Co., Chicago, but it as well as the
other ingredients can be had from any
good druggist.
