Augusta is growing steadily larger, the
people are being convinced that we
are correct in our theory that
stomach and liver troubles are respon-
sible for most of the ill-health preya :
lent.
In earlier days when the people were
closer to nature and men and women
worked all day out of doors, digging
their existence from the soil. the tired.

so common did not exist, there was
none of this half sick all Of the time
condition, with which so many are af-
flicted.
The Indians in their natural state did
not have chronic debility, or nervous
exhaustion They We're not shut up all
day with no outdoor exercise. They
did not overload their stomachs with
food when their bodies did not have
enough work, to justify it. They did
not fill their Systems with strong
mineral and poisonous medicines The
civilized people have been doing this
for years. Look at the results Most

MAMMOTH TREE FELLED.
Logs Seven Feet in Diameter From
900 Year-O Forest King.

Bluefield, w. Va, May 3.-What
is believed to be the largest tree
in West Virginia was a poplar
felled by Everett Curtis in Ra-
leigh county. It's trunk was cut into
five logs each IL feet long. The stuml
measured feet across one way and
feet the other. The logs averaged
feet in diameter. d. G. Courtney, OF
Charleston, offered Mr.. Curtis $500 fol
the logs on the railroad. The offer was
refused.
1t is believed the age of the tree is
$50 years. The poplar therefore was {
large tree when Columbus discovered
America; and when Harold fought tn,
battle of Hastings it must have been {
sapling of considerable size.

Miss J.-"I have large pimple on my
chin, which is growing still larger, what
will remove it ?" Take two quarts of
warm water, a gallon of buttermilk, a
bar of soap, half a bushel of corn meal,
mix to the consistency of dough, then
rub the face until the COWS come home.
This ought to stop the pimple.
Mother-''My sons nose is crooked, is
there any way to straighten it?" Try
placing porous plaster on the northeast
corner of it. Have him look the other way
and blow his nose at the moon. If this
fails, let his nose remain crooked. What
you want to keep straight, is his record.
Newlywed-"My husband twits me
about losing my beauty have any re-
dress ?" If he cannot see any beauty in
you and you have grown ugly to him, it
looks like asif the jig was up. We would
not advise flirting with another man, for
that might bring him before jury on a
murder charge. Continue to act like a
good wife when he is around warm his
socks, sweeten his coffee, go through his
pockets, and don't throw things at him.
After while he may conclude You are
the prettiest little popsy wopsy in Da-
mascus township.
Martha-"I am afraid my lungs are
weak and that my cheeks are losing their
rose colored looks; is there any home
remedy l could take ?" Try lung tester.
If you blow the works out of the ma
chine you can be sure you have some
other trouble. Take dose, (say two
tablespoonfuls) ofsoft soap and sand af-
ter each meal, watch the effect and no.
tify us of the result.

Prohibition Destroys South
ern Jail-keepers Profits.

DANvILLE, KY, Feb. 19th.-"Pity
the poor iailer."
The calaboose keepers Of Kentucky,
and indeed of all the southern Prohibi
ton states, will have to fling out BAN
ners bearing this label if something is
not done soon. For since the spread of
temperance through the south, the jails
are fast becoming vacant houses, with a
wolf bowling at the door.
The Office of iailer used to be the best
paying in Kentucky except the sheriff,
with the keepers getting fee for feed
ing each prisoner. Now it's the worst.
For twenty-five per cent. of the iailers
there's nothing to do but lock and un-
lock the empty cells and talk sorrowful-
ly of the good old days. Fully half of
them are only jailers when they have
nothing else to do, The rest of the time
they're carpenters, painters, shoemakers,
BARRIERS, stonecutters, men of all work.
Temperance is no joke for them. Only
twenty-five per cent. of all the Kentucky
iailers are still making a comfortable
living. ..-...
The jail-keepers of Kentucky have q
union---they call it the Jailer's Associa-
ton. Every day the mail ofW. s. Fitz-
gerald, of Danville, the president, con-
tains many plaintive messages from the
members.
"Things are going to the dogs" writes
jailer from the southern part of the
state. "Only two prisoners left now
and the grand jury meets next week."
az don't know what's to become OF
me-" writes one from the mountains.
1.-THE only prisoner I've had fora month
was tramp. had to chase him clear
across the country at some expense to
myself, and then the judge discharged
him and told him to get out of the city
told all the jailers in the other coun.
ties to watch for him and follow him tc
see which way he went, but he slipped
through somehow"
Temperance is a fine thing" says
President Fitzgerald, "and we're moi
advocating return to wet conditions
but we do think the legislature ought tc
do something---perhaps put us on 6
straight salary. We got to live"

Henry w. Box's Will.

The will OF the late Henry w. Box,
whose death at Saranac Lake on the
7th instant has been mentioned in THE
CITIZEN, was probated in Buffalo last
week. It comprises five type written
and two manuscript pages, and was
made in Buffalo on the 9th of Septem=.
ber last. The witnesses are F. G. Stow
and John G. Conway; and John E.
Selkirk, Mary E. Box and Henry Sell
kirk are named as executors. After, Mr.;
Box drew up his will, he made presents
of considerable amounts to one or more
of his friends, sending his notes as ev-
idence of the obligation, payable out of
his estate by his executors after his
death. In his will he directs that his
executors, one of whom is his adopted
daughter, shall hold his estate in trust,
and from it pay his widow an annual
income of $4,000, and his adopted
daughter, Mary E. Box, yearly in
come of $500. He gives to Mrs. Box
all the furniture, paintings, statuary,
books, silver, etc., with provision that
at her death all shall 60 to the daughter,
Mary Elizabeth Box. To his sister,
Mary A. Brown, of White Mills, he gives
an annual income of 500 to Mrs. Chas.
s. Minor, of Honesdale, bequest of
$500. After Mrs. Box's death it is pro-
vided that the daughters yearly income
shall be increased to 5000, but by q
later codicil the amount is reduced to
s. 600 until the condition OF the estate
warrants larger allowance. After the
above provisions and reservation, he di-
rects that Mary E. Box be paid $40, 600;
John E. Selkirk, 81 GOO; Henry B. Sell
kirk, 81 900; Grace H. Selkirk, $500
Alfred Bryson, $500; Elizabeth B. Bry-
son, $500; Rebecca E. Brader, $500, and
John P. Williams, $9O0-no cash gifts to
be paid until after Mr.. Box's death.
This clause is not quite understood by
the executors, and they have asked sur
rogate Hart to construe itfor them. The
final provisions of the will give Miss
Box power to dispose of the. estate re-
naming in the executors hands on the
death of Mrs. Box. If she does not do
so, however, the will directs that it shall
be disposed of as follows: To John
A. Selkirk, SIS, 200; to Henry B. Selkirk
$1,000; to Emily S. Selkirk, 5000 to
Grace H. Selkirk, 5000; to Harriet P
Williams, $1,000 and the residue divided
equally between the Buffalo General
Hospital, the Buffalo Orphan Asylum
the Sisters Hospital and the Children's
Hospital, of Buffalo.

The Hollow South.

The South in the. next Presidential
campaign will be found fsvoring high
protective tsfiff on its cotton Mt least.
Manufacturers OF wooden goods also see
that protection must be had and the
South is getting to be the home of such
factories. The thousands of cotton mills
and their number multiplying, at enee
makes the old time stronghold of free
trade, ground upon which protection
must stand.
The Southern Democrat of ten years
ago sees that his free trade fallacy won't
do; he finds himself the beneficiary of
the protection tariff, so he wants it and
will demand It.
All the Democrats of all time have
howled long and loud about the "rob.

they stood up and assailed with a re.
lentless force.
