Finds Cholera Serum.

Just at the moment when
holera threatens to reach France
from Belgium. it is announced
that DR.. Salimbini, young Ital-
ian who has been working at the
Pasteur Institute. in Paris, for
some years, under the direction Of
Professors Roux and Metchnikoff
has discovered a serum against
cholera which he has tested
during the present cholera er
demic at St. Petersburg.
"'The Serum which l tried"
DR.. Salimbini said, gave sure
results, for the mortality fell
from fifty per cent to twenty
three, and you must remember |
was only allowed to experiment
with the worst cases, those in
fact who were practically given
up"
Professor Metcknikoff confirm
ed his pupils statements. but
says that an anti-cholera like
Hafkine's was quite unnecessary.
The precaution of boiling ones
drinking water and being care
full about ones raw vegetables
formed a perfect safeguard
against cholera.

Bows on Mems Hats,

Why is il that a mans hat has a
band. and why is it this band has a
bow invariably on the left side?
The answer is thai there was d time
when a piece OF cloth adjusted to the
head and tied with band of other
material served for u headpiece The
reason the bow was always placed
on the left side had its origin in the
fact that in welding Il sword-an az
complishment possessed 10y nearly ev-
cry one Of consequence 1T one period
of the worlds history-the bow or
rOsette if placed ON the right side
would have been in the way Its pres
ent day utility is that it keeps most
men from wearing their hats hind side
before. and. although with most hats
that would not matter with most
heads it dOes.-Chicago Record Herald

A Cure for all Evils.

lie certain parts of Worcester
shire and Staff0rdshire, in Eng
land, the idea prevails that a sill
yer coin from the Christmas
morning effertory is a sovereign
remedy for any i'll that human
flesh is heir to. Accordingly, any
householder who h, opens to hove
an ailing child or other person in
hehouse huries him to the clergy
man of the parish on Christmas
morning, and asks as a favor q
sacrament shilling. The coli
given in exchange has to be Oh
tanned by collecting dozen pen
MES from as many differeu
maidens, and then changing tn
coppers for a silver shilling
For this coin the applicant re-
ceives the coveted sacrament
shilling, which, on being taken
home, is hung round the aiIing
ones neck, and is popularity sup
posed to effect a rapid and com
plete cure Of the complaint, no
matter what it may be.

Cures Dyspepsia;
Trial Is Free

It is a popular mistake that only
wealthy people who eat rich and
highly-Spiced foods suffer from dys-
pepsia, or, as it is also known, indi-
gestion. The laborer IN the strcet,
the worker in the field also finds him
self victim Of this disorder. Among
the very greatest sufferers from it are
women.
Dyspepsia is indicated by a constant
feeling OF lazinesS, by loss of appetite and
tress after eating, by bad complexion and
luSterleSS eyes.
There is no surer and speedier cure for
this trouble than Dr.. CaldwelIS Syrup
Pepsin, which dyspeptics have been using
successfully for twenty years. This great
herb laxative compound cured Capt. Clark,
of Buffalo, Ia, of dyspepsia and sour
/ stomach that he had had for forty years,
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. 1t cured
joel Adams, of Montgomery. Ala, after
suffering continuously for sixteen months
These are only a few of the many. But
it is not expensive to be cured with this
grand remedy, as it can be bought at any
drug store in 50-cent or 81 bottle.
Your very neighborS are probably life
! long users of DR.. CaldwelrS Syrup Pepsin,
| but if you want to know without expense
what it will do for you personally, send
your name to Dr. Caldwell and he will be
! glad to send you a. free trial bottle. He
| is actually anxious to have you make a
test of his remedy.
Thousands of families everywhere keep
it IN the house against such an emer-
gency as constipation, sour stomach, in
! digestion, biliOusness, dyspepsia, heart
/ burn, torpid liver, ETC., which may come
on member Of the family any day. 1t

step.
1t was some time before the
driver noticed him, despite the
barking, and still longer time
before he realized that the dog
wanted a drink. He did wake
up to the fact at last, however
and, placing his foot on the
lever that controls the flow of
water, allowed a tiny stream to
run out. The dog opened his
mouth and let the water drop in
to it.
1t was this that attracted the
crowd, for the dog followed the
wagon in that position for two
