John Millions Cottage.

One Of the best preserved historic
country houses in all England is John
Millions cottage at chalfont st. Giles,
to which the blind and aging poet fed
when the great plague swooped down
on London. That was In July, 1865,
and Milton had just finished Paradise
Lost and received a five pound note
for 1t, with a promise Of three more
five pound notes if the poem sold four
editions of 1900 copies each. The cot
tage stands at the top of the village,
and it is In practically the same con-
dition as when Milton left 1t. Here
the poet received his distinguished
guests during the latter part Of his
life.

THE NOSE A FILTER
TO STRAIN THE AIR
Catarrh Clogged Nostrils a Breeding
Place for Deadly Germs.

The n~ostrils are perfect "air filters"
and, when kept in clean, healthy state,
strain every bit Of air we breathe,
matter and germs. The air is full of
germs. You cannot dodge them, but
you can safeguard yourself against ca
tarrh and other diseases contracted in
the process of breathing by keeping the
n~ostrils clean and healthy. Catarrh
germs will sometimes get in their
work, and you may mistake the symp-
toms for an ordinary cold.
Don't take any chances. If you have
a stuffed up feeling in the head, or If
your throat is sore or filed with
phlegm, just grease the n~ostrils with a
little Ely's Cream Balm, draw the pure,
aromatic fumes back in the head, and
you will be astonished at the effect. In
a few minutes you will feel a loosen
ing up in the head, the nasty discharge
will soon be stopped, the soreness gone,
and you will feel a sense of genuine
relief.
Ely's Cream Balm not only wards off
catarrh, but will quickly cure aver a
chronic, longstanding case of catarrh.
1t takes the trouble right where it
starts, in the nose and throat, cleanses,
heals and strengthens the raw, sore in
side skin, or membrane and in this
way drives out catarrh and makes you
proof against this filthy disgusting dis
ease
Colds which often hang on for weeks,
can be quickly cured with this cleans
ing, healing, antiseptic balm. AL
druggists sell it for fifty cents a bot
tie, and the one bottle is generally all
that Is needed to effect . complete
cure, Try It today.

TEN COMMANDMENTS
Useful Precepts Laid Down
By a Wise Employer

A manufacturer posted up the
following printed cards in the
various departments of his large
establishment, calling them the
Ten Commandments"
l. Don't lie. It wastes my
time and yours. Pm sure to catch
you in the end, and that's the
wrong end.
2. Watch your work, not the
clock. A long days work makes
a long day short, and days short
work makes my face long.
3. Give me more than I expect
and I'll pay you more than you
expect, [ can afford to increase
your pay if you increase my
profits.
4. You owe so much to your
self that you can't afford to owe
anybody else. Keep out of debt
or keep out of my store.
5. Dishonesty is never an ac-
cident. Good men, like good wo-
men. always scorn temptation
when they meet 1t.
6. Mind your own business,
and in time you will have busi-
ness Of your own to mind.
Z. Don't do anything b re
which hurts your self-respect;the
employee who is willing to steal
for me is capable of stealing from
me.
It's none of my business what
you do at night, but if dissipa-
tions affects you the next day.
and half as much as I demand,
you'll last half as long as you
hoped.
O. Don't tell me what I'd like
to hear, but what I ought to
hear.
10. Don't kick if I kick; if you
are worth correcting, you're
worth keeping. l don't waste
time cutting specks out of rotten
apples,
