Status of the Deadheat.

No man is wholly free from sin, but
30 many lesser evils are tolerated that
a man should hesitate long before be-
coming a deadbeat Criminals are
despised and abhorred, but to the dead
beat all that is coming, as well as the
contempt of his fellow men. There is
something at once so mean and so lit
tie In taking advantage of the con-
fidence which comes with friendship
that the hand Of every man is turned
against a deadbeat as soon as his rep
utation is we'll established. The dead
beat may fondly imagine he is living
easy and making money without work,
and of course he takes no account Of
the confidence he violates and the
hardships he inhicts on others. But.
that aside. he really has harder time
than the man who is honest and fair.
He is compelled to move good deal
and peace of mind he knows not. Like
other types of crooks, he doesn't pros
per, and his finish is more unpleasant
than the beginning. -Atchison Globe.

Of the coke, which, however. is a very
slow one. Coke always contains sui

oxidation, mixing with the air and

sufficient to greatly retard sprouting.

A Sick Headache Cure

AS Sick Headache is caused by irrita-
ton of the stomach and as this irritated
condition of the stomach is caused by a
disordered liver, then it is obvious that
the liver must be made healthy. If this
is done and the liver kept in a healthy
condition, sick headache will disappear.
Rydale's Liver Tablets are the best
medicine to make the liver healthy and
keep it healthy. They are the prescrip-
ton of an eminent Doctor, who made a
life study of diseases of the liver, in
testines and bowels. Rydale's Liver
Tablets are sold on guarantee. If they
do not permanently cure sick headache
the money will be refunded Chas. A
