EARTHQUAKE SgOCKS.

A dispatch from San B .rnadino, GAL,
says a sharp earthquake frightened the
psople of the entire valley last night at
1890 O'Clock. The frat shock was
heavy one. It was followed By several
tremors aud deep rumbIing that created
terror. No damage has been reported.
What the Inhabitants OF Waller and
Washington counties, Texas, declare
WAS a severe esrttqu Ike "Wednesday
night, following upon the tremors noted
Sunday morning, startled the people of
that section. The seismic disturbances
wac strong enough to rtt:le the windows
and alarm many people. 1t was felt in
Hampstead, Waller, San Felipe, aud
several ether towns, as veil as 10 the
ccuatry. Many superst'tlous persons
believed Halley's comet was responsible.
Some oil experts advance the theory that
1t was an explosion in the tu5terranean
oil lakes 1der thtt section Of the .tate.
The sky was clear, and this ditpsls the
tLuader theory advanced BY some people.
The negroes were badly frightened.

WANTED SATAN SENT NORTH
Good Example Of Scottish Humor In
Remark Made by Railroad
Porter.

Scottish humor is dry rather than
boisterous, and l always think there
is exquisite drollery In the story Of
the Stonehaven railway porter and the
Salvation Army captain" To catch
the hang of little yarn readers must
remember that Stonehaven lies to the
south Of Aberdeen. The London train
had drawn up at Stonehayen on ac-
count of slight mishap mile or two
ahead, and Andra, the old porter, had
got into conversation with Salvation
Army officer who had popped his head
out of the compartment to ask the
reason for the delay.
AYE, aye" unused Andra, after CIV
ing the desired Information, "ye'll be
for Aberdeen, I'm thinkin'?"
Eyes, my man." was the reply;
"I'm bound for Aberdeen-a very
wicked place, I'm told"
What MIGHT We be goin' to dae
there, sir, II it's as bad as a. that?'
asked Andra, rather amused at the
visitors words.
"Ah," was the pious answer, I'm
going to drive the devil out Of Aber-
deem"
Like lightning came from the old
porter the pawky retort:-
See an drive him north, chiel;
baud him well to the north!"-Ex-

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON

my little son, when about year
and half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. | had physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts OF
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then |
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end Of about a
year and half of suffering he grew
SO bad that | had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.
my aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I
sent to drug store and got cake of
Cuticura Soap and a box of the ONT
ment and followed directions. AT the
end Of two months the sores were all
well. He has never had any sores
of any kind since. | can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would

DRINK WATER TO CURE
KIDNEYS AND RHEUMATISM
The People Do Not Drink Enough
Water to Keep Healthy,
Says WeII-knoWn
Authority.

1.-THE numerous cases of kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism are
mainly due to the fact that the drink
ing Of water, natures greatest medi-
cine, has been neglected.
Stop loading your system with med
fcines and cure-alls; but get on the
water wagon. If you are really sick,
why, of course, take the proper medi-
cines-plain, common vegetable treat
ment, which will not shatter the
nerves or ruin the stomach"
To cure Rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work; they are
the filters Of the blood. They must
be made to strain out of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu-
tralized so 1t will no longer be a
source of irritation to the bladder, and,
most of all, you must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach. This
is the cause of stomach trouble and
poor digestion. For these conditions
you can do no better than take the
following prescription: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by
shaking well In bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime, but don't forget the
water. Drink plenty and often.
This valuable information and sim.
pie prescription should be posted up
in each household and used at the
FIRST sign of an attack of rheumatism,
backache or urinary trouble, no mat
ter how slight.
