IT 80, A WooDcHoPPER
Averaged Three Cords of Wood Daily
for Twenty Days When
Eighty.seven.

Eliphalet Smith of Biddeford. Me-.
in his nintieth year, recently chal.
lenged any man in Maine to meet him
in wood-sawing contest. He has
sawed 37a cords of white oak, three
cuts to stick. in day of ten hours,
says the Lewiston Journal. He has
sawed six and a half cords of hard
wood in day. He was employed by
the Pepperell corporation for a fort
night, during which time he sawed
four cords of wood a day, working
from a. m. to 4. p. He was substl.
tuting for two regular men and fur.
nished enough fuel to keep two fur
naces going. He has started from his
home in Biddeford at a. M, walked
to the pool, distance of nine miles.
sawed three cords of wood and footed
it back home again, arriving there be-
fore sunset. When 81 years old he
averaged three cords of wood a day
for 20 days. He ascribes his vigorous
health to long constitutionals, which
he takes daily. Not long ago he
walked from this city to Fortunes
Rock, thence to Biddeford pool, then
to Hills Beach and back home, a dis.
lance of 20 miles. In fair weather
this is his regular Sunday morning
exercise. He says that it is nothing
but a pleasure jaunt.
Cook says he did it. Peary says he
did it, but the chances are neither one
did it unless he took HOLSTERS Rocky
Mountain Tea 1t is the most searching
and finding remedy-there is NO doubt
after taking-as sure as you take it you
get results. Do it tonight. Nick Doffing.

THROAT TROUBLES
WEAKEN THE SYSTEM.

A serioussillness is often brought on
by a neglected sore throat.
All throat troubles invariably weaken
the system and should not be allowed to
go unchecked.
A gargle made with twelve drops of
Sloan's Liniment in half glass of water
will break up sore throat.
Sloans Liniment is an excellent
remedy for tonslitis, Group, asthma and
bronchitis. Applied freely to the out
side of the throat and .chest, it draws
out the inflammation, reduces the
swelling....iand relievesl any soreness.
Twelve drops of this Liniment in half a
glass of water makes a splendid antisep-
tic gargle.
Mr.. Albert W. Price, of Fredonia,
Kans., writes:--We have used Sloan's
Liniment in the family for about year,
and find it an excellent relief for colds
and hay fever.attacks. Two drops of
Liniment in teaspoonful of water
will stop coughing and sneezing in
SANITY"
Mr.. L. T. Hurst, of Gainesville, Ind,

the best remedy have ever tried for

self the second day and almost the first

Education said, Kentucky has more
illiterate children between the ages of
ten and fourteen years than Indiana,
Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin, Massachusetts
and Pennsylvania, a condition that is a
disgrace to the state. 4" The newspapers
have begun to agitate the perfecting of
our schools and the reaching of the
masses whose indifference make this
condition possible. The press of our
county will take leading part in this
Educational Revolution, and with the
aid of the determined, the yoke of
ignorance can be thrown off. INFO the
