What Would You DOP

In case of burn or scald what
would you do to relieve the pain? Such
injuries are liable to occur in any fami-
ly and everyone should be prepared for
them. Chamberlain Salve applied on
soft cloth will relieve the pain almost
insanity, and unless the injury is
very severe one, will cause the parts
to heal without leaving a scar. For
sale by all druggists.

witted and so Soft-brained that they
can't take care of themselves or are
totally incapable of selecting wives for

Wants Her Penny.

Mrs. Jennie Hamilton, wife of James
Hamilton, 22d Pa. Cav, Buffalo, Pa, is
justly indignant at the fling at the wo-
men who have been married since 1890.
She knows }hat she was just as loyalty
married to her present husband in 1904
and has been just as true a wife to. him
as If she had been married before 1890.
She thinks that the parable in the New
Testament applies to the women, and
they should all have their pennies. She
may never need il, for God only knows
whether she or her husband will be
called first. There are, however. scores
of deserving women who need 1t right
now, and there is no proper excuse for
refusing it to them.
