A farmer by the name of Art
Gross living west of town had
for several nights been disturb
ed by the sound of vocal trills
or a kind of monotonus melody
proceeding at various times
from different parts of the

nervous by the apparent music
of the spirits. AS near as the
sound could be described it was
like the mating note of the cat
bird varing with the low coo of
the Carolina Dove. Mr.. Cross
had read of singing mice and
not believing in spirits, he set
a mouse trap and caught a
brighteyed little brown mouse
which set up its monotonous
song, s''~~.iNg that he had

Editor, it now has home in a
nice box with plenty of good
things to eat as a reward for
its accomplishments, and every
time Ye r litor raps on the box
it starts up its sweet yet mourn
full lay. 1t does not appear
different from the common
mouse and is not like what is
known as the singing mouse, it's

CURES REMOVE DOUBT
ABOUT ECZEMA CURE
Read What Your Druggist
Says About Oil of Winters
green Compound.

Druggist Robt. w. Harvey
submits the following to the
readers of The Times.
For several years we have
announced, with our RECON-
mendation, that we had found
a positive cure for eczema; a
simple skin wash, oil of winter
green compounded with other
healing ingredients.
Yet we know there are people
right in this town who have
eczema, and still have never
tried this remedy.
We have, therefore, arranged
with the D. d. d. Laboratories
of Chicago for a special offer
of a trial bottle at Is cents in.
stead of the $l.O0 bottle as re-
gularly sold.
We offer this trial bottle with
our recommendation and assur.
ance that just as soon as the
patient washes his itching skin,
this mild liquid will take the
itch away instantly.

The Value Of Good
Digestion
Is easy to figure if you know what your stomach
is worth. kodol keeps the stomach at par value,
by insuring good digestion. Kodol cures Dyspepsia.

Kodol insures good digestion by
absolutely duplicating N.ture's
normal process, in perfectly digest
ing all food taken into the ston-
ach.
While Kodol is doing this, the
stomach is resting-and becoming
strong and healthy. A strong and
healthy stomach guarantees a
sound and active brain.
The man with sound stomach
"a stomach that is doing for the
body just what Nature intended
1T to do-is the man who is always
prepared for any emergency. He
is there with the goods"
The man with a sick stomach, is
q man sick all over. When the
stomach is irritated by undigeSted
food, the blood and heart are di-
rectly affected. Then dullness, un-
natural sleepiness. sick-headaches,
vertigo and fainting spells. and
even serious brain trouble develop.
