the poorer families have no dishes ex-

They live largely on rice aud vans,
which are cooked and then served in
dishes made OF gourds. Fingers take
the place of knives, forks and spoons.
This of course applies only TO the
poorer families or poems as they are
called, largely of negro or mixed

their children are neat and well

hiah Pressure DAYS.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never were
the demands for business, the wants OF
the family, the requirements Of society
more numerous. The first effect OF
the praiseworthy effort to keep up
with all these things is commonly seen
in weakened system, which results
in dyspepsia, defective nutrition OF
both body and brain, and In extreme
cases in complete nervous prostration
1t is clearly seen that what Is needed
is what will sustain the system. give
vigor and tone to the nerves, and keer
the digestive and assimilative func
lions healthy and active. From per
sonal knowledge we can recommend
Hoods Sarsaparilla for this purpose
It acts on all the vital organs, builds
up the whole system and fits men and
women for these high-pressure days.

SELLING CLOTHING.
Old Time Ways and Those Of The Pres
ent Day-Travsline Model.

Old Time Ways and Those Of the Pres
ont Day-Travelirs Model.
Time was when the travelling sales
man for q wholesale manufacturer OF
mems clothing carried with him on the
road as many as fifteen or twenty
trunks containing made up samples.
In those days he took along with him
an expert packer from the factory to
unpack the trunks when they hit
town and to pack them in readiness
for the next jump.
The present day traveller for a whole
sale manufacturer Of mems high grade
clothing carries with him Just two sam
pie trunks. one Il wardrobe trunk and
the other what is called swatch
trunk. In the wardrobe trunk he car
ries suspended on suitable hangers If
teen or twenty made up suits. Carried
thus, these sample garments keep in
good condition and show for what
they are and to the best advantage.
In the swatch trunk the salesman
carries samples Of all the other fabrics
that his concern is making up. Swatch
Is trade name for Il sample cloth Q
! by II inches OF swatches the sales
man may carry hundreds, ana he car
| rics besides some scores of ends of
cloth, an end beiag long piece cut Off
| the entire width of tbs cloth.
OF swatches and ends the salesman
has a trunkfu and with fifteen or
twenty made IN suits TO show styles
and Workmanship ana those samples
! to show fabrics he can show goods to
/ better advantage than from bewil,
dering assortment of hundreds Of made
up suits.
OF course the man on the road with
clothing does not in these circum
stances require packer, but the pres
cnt day traveller for a concern making
only high grade clothing does take
with him a model on whom 10 exhibit
clothes for the better display of the
made up sample garments he carries
and to show just how they Will look
when worn.
What Is considered the standard
model in the clothing trade Is n mar
five feet eight inches in height, thirty
six inches chest measure and thirty
two inches waist He must OF COURSE
be well built and otherwise of correc
proportions, If model five feet min,
inches in height were required h,
would need 10 be thirty-seyen inche
chest measure and thirty-three waist.
The model must be young or CON
paratlvely young He does not nee
TO be handsome, but he must be O
good bearing, Of intelligence and Q
good sense,
If the salesman is an able man an
the model himself is a man with abl
ty in him, then by observation and e'
perience the model absorbs and deve
I ops the art of salesmanship. and h
may become a salesman himself an
come to have model to try on clotl
ing for him.-Cleyeland Plain Dealer

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t is entirely closed, Deaf
ness rs the result, and unless the in
hammatlon can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by
Catarrh. which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give 500 for any case OF
Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

Fat All My Life, and How
| Got Rid Of II.

First a captivating plumpness be-
gins to steal upon woman in her
twenties. Plumpness Is followed by
oh. horrors--fatness, and shortness
of breath and heart flutters. Then,
alas, comes the chin that Is double
and the comical numbering waddle OF
the overfat. Fine sarcasm to tell
such woman to exercise. why not
counsel flying? She Is as able to
do the one as the other. It's another
keen cut to suggest dieting. When
ladies are just so fat they haven't an
ounce of will power or energy to
spare for extras-iust living is hard
enough work for them.
What then? Are these unfortunates
condemned to be fat for life? No,
believe 1t or not; simple home re-
'ceipt, easy to get at drug store, will
take that fat off and keep It off i.
iIdsten! IL ounce Marmola, IL ounce
lFluid Extract Cascara Aromatic and
I3 10 ounces Syrup Simplex mixed at
Ihome and taken in teaspoOnful doses
after meals and at bedtime, will
take off as much az a pound a day

the sealed packages s-you are sure
lit Is fresh that way--take the mixture

seems to drop off and leave nice,
