Dreaded Disease.
Eczema has long been one of the
most dreaded of diseases, not only
from the suffering and humiliation 1t
entails, but also because of the diff,
Guilty hitherto found in curing it. Doc.
tors have failed, and the desperate
patients have resorted to much adver.
tised so called" remedies, only to
meet with disappointment. Now all
this is Changed.
A sure and speedy cure for eczema
absolutely unfailing, as thousands are
ready TO testify-has at last been
found. DR.. Taylor's Eczema Remedy
has established itself solely on its
merits as an infallible blood purifier
and skin cleanser. Its use has enor-
morsly increased within brief Pc
riod, as its efficacy has been learned.
For not alone is this remedy effec-
tual in the worst cases Of eczema, but
It Is probably the quickest and surest
remover of all skin blemlshes, such as
pinlples, black heads, ache, herpes,
rash, barber itch, etc, that has ever
bene discovered. Often one applica.
ton over night, clears the complex
ion.
A free descriptive booklet is issued
by the DR.. Taylor Remedy Co., Phil,
adelphia, and the remedy and booklet
can be obtained at the Mt. City Drug
stone and Halls Drug Store and at all
first class druggists.

OF Trade says:
Further progress is making to-
ward business confidence and activi-
ty and even the vexatious delay in
the treatment of the tariff nd the
somewhat disappointing June crop
statement have not served to check
the Improvement. Statistics of pig
iron production during May furnish
additional evidence of the better
ment OF iron and steel. A signi-
hcant development is the urgency
with which many buyers request
prompt deliveries, especially trans
PORTING companies.
Greater interest and larger vol

market than for long time past.

IN all my life. | recommend Lydia +.
Pinkhams Vegetable Compound to all
my friends. - Mrs. WILL YOUNG, @
Columbia Avenue, Rockland, Me.
Backache is a symptom of female
weakness or arrangement. If you
have backache, don't neglect it. To
get permanent relief you must reach
the root of the trouble. Nothing we
know of will do this so safely and surely
as Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. Cure the cause of these dis
tressing aches and pains and you will
become well and strong.
The great volume of unsolicited
testimony constantly pouring in proves
conclusively that Lydia f. Pinkham's
vegetable Compound, made from roots
and herbs, has restored health to thou
sands of women.

invites all sick women to write
her for advice. She has guided

Let Him Stay Man.

A man soon gets mighty tired of
treating his wife like GODDESS. If
he cannot be at ease with her and
smoke when he pleases and take off
his coat If he wants to and throw
ashes on the floor and cigar stubs
all over the house, he is going to
be mighty uncomfortable, and long
to go where he can. For it is born
in a man to like to do these things,
just as it is born in a girl to like to
do her own pet things. Moreover,
if n girl has once known a man in a
perfectly comfortable chummy way
she will find him worth twice as much
as before he dropped his awe of her.
Men are pretty nice as they are, but
for goodness sake. don't try to make
a man ladylike. He isn't and won't
be if he is even half a man.-Atchi-
son Globe

heavy rainstorm petitioned in her
prayer for fine weather; when, the
next morning, the sun shone bright
and clear she became jubilant and
told her prayer to her grandmother.

well, dear, why can't you pray
tonight that it may be warmer to-
