Probably a Dutch Invention of tina

The history OF sash windows is some
what obscure. but the probability is
that they were a Dutch invention and
that they were introduced into Eng
land soon after the revolution of 1888
The derivation of the word sash in
this sense is the Dutch ''sas," a Sluice-
old English "sasse." In Queen Anne's

An, what honayed words VIII and
Theodore used in describing each

Looking back just four years We find
Mr.. Roosevelt saying on Sept Q. 1905:

him, and he and have, Oh every

anything for his case. An intimate

he had explained his case was sold a
treatment of three bottles of the Elk

using Immediately. After several doses
he began to feel much better, and on
the third day he expelled over hun
dred large stomach worms, which had
been the entire cause of all his trouble.
Nothing else could cure him. for the
simple reason that they could not reach
the seat Of the trouble. Although real
