Only jar of Its Kind.

Horace Walpole told a lively story
of an old porcelain vender who had
an exceedingly rare and valuable jar
on which he set AN almost fabulous
price, One hot summer a slight vol
canlc shock, such us the British occa-
sionally experience, logged his house
about his ears and split his porcelain
vase. To an ordinary mind the acci-
dent would have been calamltous, but
the china seller rose superior to for
tune. He doubled, the price of the
article Immediately and advertised it
as "the only jar in the world which
had been cracked by an earthquake"
Nothing very slow about that. Wheth-
er he got his money is not added, but
certainly he deserved 1t.

Creating Mucf, Talk
And Great Praise
Surprising Good Being Done in This
Locality.

1t seems that everybody is talk
ing about Root Juice these days.
The new medicine must have won
derful curative merit or SO many To-
cal people would not be so enthu-
siast1c in praise of it. When the
scientist was here he said: 1.-THE
reason so many people get well after
taking Root Juice a few weeks Is
that the Juice contains in proper
proportion the most soothing, heal
ing and strengthening ingredients
for the stomach, bowels, bladder,
liver and kidneys known to the
scientific world, by making the
blood-making and blood-fltering or
gans healthy. Root Juice removes
many ailments" The great remedy,
within the last few months, has
made SO many remarkable cures in
Indiana and Ohio that it Is not sur
prising that so many of our people
are buying it. 1t seems to be won
derful for any trouble of the stom-
ach, bowels, liver and kidneys, and
has proved it's remarkable merits to
scores of people here in Perth Am
boy for bloating, belching, consti-
patton. sick headache and other evils
of bad digestion. In rheumatic and
kidney troubles, also nervousness, it
is surprising how fast health is re-
covered under the juice treatment.
The people at Lauer drug store
are well informed In relation to the
merits Of the remedy and have a
very pleasant way in telling all they
know of it. Many that took bot
tie have returned for more and said
that Root Juice is the most wonder
full medicine on earth. 1t is sold

Origin of E~tiquetts.

The French word ''etiquette' really
means a "label" or ticket" How,
then, comes 1t to denote conventional
forms Of ceremony"
1t is said that a certain Scottish gar
dener In charge of Louis XIY.'s gar
den at Versailles was very much put
out because the courtiers walked oyer
his beds, To keep off these trespassers
he placed labels or tickets-"eti-
quettes''-at various spots, with in
structions as to the proper path. At
first the naughty courtiers did not
deign to notice these placards, but a
hint from high quarters that their
walks In future must be within the
'etiquettes' compelled their obedience.
Thus, according to the story, origt-
mated our present use of the word "ett-
Quette.'
