MOOSE ATTACKS A HORSE,
And the Horse Retopts In Klnd-An
Incident Of the Maine Woods.

Three young men from Midtown,
near Calais. went out into the coun.
try districts recently to pass the day
and left their old horse standing I'M
der the shade OF the whispering pines
while they communed with nature
some little distance away, according
to the Kennebec Journal. They were
startled by the neighing and snort
Ing OF their steed and upon reach.
Ing the spot where the animal was
tied they witnessed an exciting en-
counter between bull moose and the
horse. The monarch OF the forest lust
happened along and found the horse
encroaching upon his domain and
very naturally resented the intrusion.
He made a run for the unfortunate
Bteed and a bow-on collision was al.
most sure hing, when the old
horses fighting blood got up and,
instead of waiting to be rammed like
a fishing boat in fog, ne stood up
on his hind legs and caught the bull
moose swat fair upon the nose with
both forefeet. Both animals sat down
suddenly to think the matter over. the
moose from the surprise OF the shock
and the horse because he lost his
balance. and It would doubtless hava
gone hard with the latter, which was
incumbered with the harness and rig
ging, had not the young men set upon
the forest king with yells just as he
was about to resume the attack upon
his helpless adversary. Any one who
remembers the noise which a Mil
town man is capable Of making when
)ut for a good time will pardon
the moose for his sudden and undigni.
fed retreat.

BORAX, NATURES DlslNFECTANT
CLEANSER AND PURIFIER

Everyone realizes the necessity Of
some method of publication of sinks,
drains and utensils in which may lurk
the germ of dreaded disease.
Health is a question of cleanliness
and prevention.
Most people are familiar with the
use of disinfectants in their ordinary
sense-all of which are either unpleas-
a1tly associated with disagreeable
odors on which are depnded to kill
the germ of contagion (Which disin-
fectants must of necessity be OF a
more or less dangerous character and
must be used for this purpose and no
other, and in consequence must be
kept from children and careless hand
ling.
There is, however, within the reach
of all of our readers a simple safe and
economical article that will not only
answer for every disinfecting purpose
but can also be used for a multi
tude of domestic cleansing and purify
ing purposes-BoraX.
BoraX is a pure white, harmless
powder coming direct from Natures
laboratory; in fact Borax has often
been called Natures Cleanser and
Disinfectant."
Two tablespoonfuls of BoraX in a
pailful of hot water poured down the
greased-choked pipes of a sink or flush
ed through a disease-laden drain,
cleanses and PRIZES it, leaving it clean
and sweet.
Bed clothing and clothes used in a
sick room can be made hygienically
clean and snowy-white, if washed in a
hot solution of BoraX water.
Kitchen and eating utensils used
during illness will be kept from all
possibility of contagion if Borax is
used when washing them. Pure as
snow and harmless as salt, and be-
cause it can be used for almost every
domestic and medical purpose, Borax
must be considered the one great
household necessity.

EUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE THIS SIMPLE, HOME
MADE MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Blythe Ingredients from Any Druggist
in Your Town and Shake Them in

a well known authority on Rheuma
tism gives the readers of a large New
York daily paper the following valu.
able, yet simple and harmless prescrip.
ton, which any one can easily prepare
at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound Kargou, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in a bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being a
vegetable extraction are harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken regu.
larry for few days, is said to overcome
almost any case of Rheumatism. The
pain and swelling, if any, diminishes
with each dose, until permanent results
are obtained, and without iniuring the
stomach. While there are many so
called Rheumatism remedies, patent
medicines, etc, some OF which do give
relief, few really give permanent re.
suits, and the above will no doubt be
greatly appreciated by many sufferers
here at this time.

The
General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy of
known value; a laxative which physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because its component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
TO the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That is one of many reasons why
