Here welcome This Advice,
Says Local Druggist.

What will appear very interest
ING to many people here is the ar
ticle taken from New York daily
paper. which is said to be posi-
tive remedy for backache or kidney
or bladder arrangement, if taken
before the stage of Bright's dis
ease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar-
saparilla, three ounces. Shake
well in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and
again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this
prescription, stated that the ingre-
dients are all harmless, and can be
obtained at small cost from any
good prescription pharmacy. or
the mixture would be put up if
asked to do so. He further stated
that while this prescription is
often prescribed in rheumatic
Affections with splendid results, he
could see no reason why it would
not be a splendid remedy for kid
ney and urinary troubles and
backache, as it has peculiar &C
ton upon the kidney structure,
cleansing these most important or
gans and helping them to sift and
filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sick
ness and suffering. Those of our
readers who suffer can make no
mistake in giving it trial. l4-3t

Electric Scruhbinu Brush.

One of the latest electric household
utensils is a. machine which scrubs,
sandpapers, wakes or polishes any
kind of floor. 1t is claimed that the
palmetto scrubbing brush does the
work clearly and rapidly, and that it
is as effective in the corners as in the
middle of the floor. The adjustable
parts include in addition to the pal
metto scrubbing brush, steel wire
brush, carborundum stones and holder,
a sleeps fleece polishing pad, and
carborundum paper cut ready to use.
The power cost is claimed to be no
more than one cent an hour. Current
is taken from any electric light fixture
in the room.-Popular Mechanics.

twentieth Century sorocress w"s
Has Surprised Civilized Humanity

Is 1t possible that witches SIN ex-
list and find credulous victims 10 CO
zen and fleece? 1t is true the voouoo
woman may be found In the soutn
and the medicine man is not YET eA-
tinct among the Indian tribes, yet
they are believed to be survivais only
possibly among the uncivilized OF the
negro and Indian people, says the
Springfield Republican Yet the real
witch with the caldron In which she
brews her magic philters, with her
spells and curses, are things SO wnoi'
" of the past that It is a shock 10
read of sorceress having been ar
rested in fair Perugia. Perhaps 'he
account is the invention OF news
paper reporter bound 10 produce .
sensation for the benefit of his Jour
nal. However that may be. the story
is a good one.
1t sets forth, with z QUE care TO-
details, the maze of ALLEYS In a suDuri
of the city, where house whos'
doors are closed to all but women whc
seek powerful love potions TO brin,
back the affections of lost lovers, o.
fatal drafts that shall properly pre-
serve faithless Observation-Disclosures
a famous sorceress.
Rumors having got about concern
ing the unholy rites and ceremonies
practiced in that house, the police
so the story goes, gain admittance
through a preteXt, seize the witch
and search the premises and ind rs
walls hung with mysterious symbols
human skulls and bones, heads o.
various animals, strange weapons,
many books of evil import, full of in
carnations and spells and other aids
such as witches are supposed to use
The woman, who was old and sup
posed TO be fabulously wealthy, was
seized and all her paraphernalia col
lected and conveyed away for trial
and all Perugia, and presumably
Italy, is supposed to be in state OF
suspense until the worst is known.
Surprising this tale true, what would
be an adequate punishment for a
witch? In the good old times, so much
lamented there would have been but
one end possible. The witch would
have been burned at the stake. But
in 1908 a term of Imprisonment is
probably the worst that could happen
and that would be fiat ending OF
the story. But the days of what is
called romance are over.

No Orator.

Booker T. Washington, at a dinner
In Cleveland during the National Edu-
cational associations convention, was
complimented by a clergyman on his
cloquence.
Mr. Washington, in reply. told a
story of southern minister who could
not have been very eloquent.
"One Sunday morning" he said, lin
the midst of this minister's sermon, a
head poked itself through the door of
the vestry, and low and tremulous
voice said:
'Parson, the church is on fire.
Every well, Brother Spriggins,' the
minister answered. I will retire. Per-
haps you'd better wake up the congre-

HAD TO SURRENDER
YOUNG MANS STRENUOUS WOO
ING IRRESISTIBLE.
As Mr.. johnson Himself Said, When
He Had His Mind Made Up There
Was Nothing That Could
Stop Him.


Have you ever experienced the
feeling, Mr.. Johnson" said young
lady, softly, that some great opportu.
nifty was within your grasp, but you
had hardly the presence of mind, the
the courtesy, as it were, TO avail
yourself OF it?"
"Why-er-yes, Miss Stevens.
have at times had that kind of feel
ing"
Miss Stevens sighed dreamily, and
then there was pause, during which
the young couple sat in the semidark'
ness of the parlor in profound silence.
He sat down and looked helplessly al
the glowing Goals in the CRATE, with
the feeling that every breath he drew
was Notifying and CHASTITY blunder.
AS you were about to say, Mr..
Johnson resumed the young lady,
there are times when it seems to
all of us we must speak what Is in
our minds
Yes, vaguely answered the Devil
dered youth, as he tried to remember
when he had begun to say anything
of the kind. Yes, of course"
And while ain not so sure ] ought
o listen 10 you, Mr.. Johnson she
speak to me in this-this personal
matter, yet"
The young man could feel his pulse
beat tattoo on the drums of his
ears, but he sat like a boy with his
masters eye upon him and said moth
ing.

ems, presently, q have a new book of
engravings, Mr. Johnson, that | am
sure you will enjoy seeing. 1t is a
large book, and you'll have to move
your chair. Yes, you can sit here
with me on the sofa. ! never thought
of that"
The pictures danced before the eyes
of the young man in blurred, confused
images
Isn't this engraving of the Court
shin of Florence Dombey and Walter
Gay perfectly lovely?'
"Wh-which is Walter?" he gasped
HtlC. LOOh NlOSti DOH yOu
see him?"
"Wh-who's he courting?"
~ You'll have to come closer, Mr..
Johnson. | declare, though and she
looked archly at the trembling youth
7 am almost afraid to let you come
any nearer. You look exactly like Wal
ter in the picture
And then the arm of the helpless
young man stole in a timid, apologet-
ic, cneaking way round the waist Of
the charming Miss Stevens, her head
sank upon his shoulder and the book
of engravings fell neglected to The
door.
Samuel, she said an hour later, as
she toyed with the button of his coat,
you bold boy! How on earth did you
ever muster courage TO ask me TO
become your wife? You know well
enough l never gave you particle of
encouragement"
The young man patted her conde-
scendingly on the head, and then said
proudly with the voice of an Ajax de-
flying the lightning:

anything, Selma, no obstacle on earth
can stop me-"

Eorbids Foreian Education.

The Prussian courts have Just de
cided that it is illegal for a Prussiar
subject to send his children to for
eign schools.
An inhab!tant of the town of Arms
berg, in Westphalia, sent his 1S-year
old daughter to school in Brussels
For this he was summoned before
the local court and sentenced to 4
fine.
On appeal the sentence was con
firmed by the higher court. Any Prus
sian sending his child to a hoardins
school abroad is therefore committin,
an offense and is liable to punishment

Daduction may be used TO re-ani-
mate three classes of living organ
ism, namely: Human beings, ami
mails and plants. and thus there are
three branches; the Popular, simple
enough for any sensible, ten year
old child; the Scientific, familiar on
ly to the Discoverer, for use at the
eleventh hour; the Industrial, for
use in fostering the welfare of valu-
able farm animals, fowls, plants,
flowers, etc.
In short, Diaduction as learned and
deyeloped by the Discoverer during
the last half century, applies to any
thing that lives. AS with any
science. for instance, surveying ar
chitecture, astronomy, there must be
implements, instruments, tools"
with which to utilize. to cause action;
and thus In Diaduction, as in Nature
Itself, there are Devices adapted to
Cause various effects, three of these
Dlaductive means to ends being
named, to wit: Oxydonor, Vitara and
Panaxora,, each of which is adapted
to use by the general public, and
their proper use makes doctors and
supposed remedies not only useless
but absolutely foolish because, If
Diaduction is available, he who re-
sorts to drugs or knives commits
suicide. Dragging and knitting, If
done with knowledge of the asser-
lions made by the Discoverer of Dia-
duction are mortal offenses against
the person. The Natural Laws,
which are the Emanation of the Su-
preme. do not condone the slightest
violation, while obedience to those
laws confers immunity to disease, or
the only possibility of recovery from
1t.
The achievements OF Doctor Sanche
in developing to Perfect Success the
science Of Diaduction, and making its
utilization available to every sane
human being, have made doctors and
remedies, together with all the Re-
hash-Barbarism, an insult to intelli-
gence, an offense against omniscience
and demand that man shall make
knitting and drugging statutory
crimes.
