CONSUMPTION SAID TO
Be CURED BY POMONA

Claims are daily sent saying that
this vegetable compound perfects cure.
The below quoted letter speaks Of
one of the wonderful results obtained
from using POMONA.
Mrs. Efie A. Telford of Fort Smith,
Ark, under date of Oct. 2Sth, 1908,
writes in part:
II developed tuberculosis in its most
aggravated form, and after spending
the summer and winter in Canada and
New Orleans, La, under the care Of
two physicians without improvement.
In December l was given POMONA
for Consumption. After taking fifteen
bottles l was completely cured. The
physician who examined me some
months later said he could find no
trace of the disease. / am now strong
and well and have no hesitancy in rec
ommending POMONA to those suf-
fering from tuberculosis"
This medicine was compounded
upon scientific theory, that is that a
healthy body would help and force a
weak organ to obtain strength. PO-
MONA Is a tonic that builds and
gives relief to soreness and perfects
the condition so that nature can
take its proper steps to rid the body
Of this disease.

Jackson.-As the end of the admins
tration approaches it is matter OF con-
siderable interest to know just how
many pardons have been issued in the
four years drawing to close.
A compilation made in the office of
the penitentiary board office about two
weeks ago gives the number of felonies
pardoned as being 800 to that date.
The misdemeanor record is also in.

making a total therefore of 653 par

Also the oflenses for which the mis-
demeanor pardons were issued are in

greatest number were issued to whiskey
sellers, than any other one or two OF
three offenses.

JUDGED BY THEIR CLOTHES
Smart Cigar store Clerk Ready With
Apology That by No Means
Mended Situation.

Herman Fellner tells this story on
himself, according to the New York
correspondent of the Cincinnati Times
Star. He was in Washington on busi'
ness recently and met three or four
friends on the street After a mo-
ment's chat he beckoned them to
come with him. I'm off the stuff"
said he, but want to buy you each
a cigar"
They happened to be in front of a
combination cigar and news stand at
the moment. Led by Mr.. Fellner, they
all trooped in. The clerk hurried to
the cigar case to wait upon them,
Before Mr.. Fellner could Indicate his
wishes the clerk had slapped a box
on the glass case, Here y are" said
he. Best dime smoker in town."
Mr.. Fellner is sort of fussy about
his smokes. He looked at the cigar
then showed the box away, Have
you no other price?" he asked.
The clerk showed the box in the
case. Sure thing" said he. my mis-
take and your treat"
Having pulled off this time-worr
witticism, he addressed Mr.. Fellnel
confidentially. Your clothes sort o
fooled me-" said he. "You fellers ar'
a pretty well-dressed lot, you know,

ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back Of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfigured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read Of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly We saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little babys face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H
Albrecht, Box 883, West Point, Neb.
Oct. 26, 1910. Although Cuticura Soar
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, sample Of
each, with 92-page book, will be mailed

Two little girls residing in East
Eighty-sixth street, Virginia Clough
and Clairie Feldman, who had long
envied their boy playmates for their
ability to enjoy such badness as is in
herent in boys, resolved to be bad
themselves. To this end they shut
themselves up in Virginias room and
proceeded to be naughty. In fact,
they practiced swearing-just to see
what would happen.
When they were quite sure that
none would overhear them each pro-
duced a slip of paper containing the
swear word and fred away.
"Bulldog!" said Virginia
"Cigars!" was Claire's reply.
But the ceiling didn't drop, and
there was no earthquake to swallow
them up, and the two resumed theil
play, trife disappointed at the tame
termination Of their badness.-Cleve
