THE WONOERBERRY
OR SUNBERRY
Has Proved a Great Success-Thou.
sands Say It's the Best Thing
They Ever Grew.

The Wonderberry or Sunberry, the
Luther Burbank, and introduced by
John Lewis Childs, the wellknOwn
Scotsman of Floral Park, N Y, has
proved great success all over the
country. Thousands of people say it
Is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr.. John Burroughs, the well-knOwn
author, Naturalist and bOsOm-friend of
Theodore Roosevelt, says it is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted,
and a marvellous cropper.
A Director of the New York Agricul-
tural Experiment Station says it fruits
abundantly even in pure sand In the
short season of Northwestern Canada
it is gOdsend, and fruits long after
frost has killed most garden truck.
d. S. Hall, Wichita. Kan, says thirty
people grew it there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
K. S. EnOchs, Hammond, La, says
1t yields $3.50 worth of fruit per
acre with him. Mrs. J. II. Powers,
1872 Kenwood avenue, Chicago. raised
enough berries on a space 4Xl0 feet
to supply herself and friends.
j. p. Swallow, Kenton, Ohio, says it's
equal for all purposes does not exist.
Rev II. B. Sheldon, Pacific Grove.
Cal, says he likes the berries served
In any and every way.
w. T. Davis, Enon, Va, says 1t is
true to description in every way, and
fruits in three months from seed.
Judge Morrow, of T. s. Circuit
Court, says the Wonderberiy is simply
delicious raw or cooked.
Mr. Childs exhibited one plant five
months old bearing 10,375 berries
which measured about eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New
Mexico, says it stands the long, hard
droughts of that climate and fruits
abundantly all summer.
1t is certainly the most satisfactory
garden fruit and the greatest Novelty
ever introduced.

AN EXCELLENT REMEDY.
Will Break Up Cold in Twenty-Four
Hours and Cure Any Cough That
Is Curable.

The following mixture is often pre-
scribed and is highly recommended
for coughs. colds and other throat and
bronchial trouble. Mix two ounces
OF Glycerine, a half-ounce of Virgin
Oil Of Pine compound pure. and eight
ounces of pure Whisky. These can be
bought in any good drug store and cas-
lily mixed together in a large bottle
The genuine Virgin Oil of Pine COM
pound pure is prepared only in the
laboratories of the Leach Chemical
Co, Cincinnati, and put up for dis
pensing in half-ounce walls.
Who Are the Elect?
Two modern statements of the doe
trine of election" neither of which
would quite satisfy John Calvin or
Jonathan Edwards, are given in the
Congregationalist.
One was Henry Ward Beecher's cpl
grammatic and convincing phrase:
THE elect are whosoever will; the
non-elect are whosoever won't"
Good as this is, there is another ex-
planaton that is star of equal mag
ntude. 1t was made by colOred di-
vine, who said:
Brethren, it is this way: The Lord,
he is always voting for man; and the
1evil he is always voting against him.
Then the man himself votes. and that
breaks the tie!"

an out of town visitor There's the
record OF it-an adventure that came
near changing the history of the coun-

tablet on the row OF houses facing
