Tpin Babies Want Chairs.

will you kindly print n request for two
discarded high chairs for twin girls, 0
months old? Some kind person may havo
them who does not need them any longer.
My husband is out OF work at present and
cannot get anything to do in the city. The
babies need the chairs badly. MRS. W. S"
There is not a strong probability that
pair Of high chairs formerly used by an
other pair of twins may be forthcoming.
but it is not necessary that the two should
be an absolute match. Two chairs from
different sources will accommodate the
twinnies quite as comfortably as if they
were originally built or bought for a pair.
shall hope soon to have an application
for the address OF Mrs. w. S. from other
mothers who have chairs to give away

Can You Beat II?

Mr.. Joe Stone, Acting Post
master, of Taylorsville, KY, has a
canine of the setter variety, which
gave birth to a litter of pups about
one month ago. Mr.. Stone not
caring to raise the pups had them
drowned. About the same time
he had sow which gave birth to
a litter of pigs. The mother hog
died. The dog and the pigs lived
in the bt IN tc gether. Soon the .
seemed to spring up warm friend
ship between the mother dog and
the pigs. The pigs were hungry
and the mother dog was sympa-
thetic, and therefore they came
together. The pigs began to nurse
her and have continued to do so
for at least a month. The mother
dog is very fond of her adopted
children and the pigs are waxing
fat. Mr.. Stone has a picture of
the pigs nursing the mother dog.

q Cure.

When one can buy gold dollars
for fifty cents it is time to pur-

In ordering a SOC bottle of DR..
Towards celebrated specific for
the cure of constipation and dys-
pepsia at 25 cents, w. S. Lloyd is
giving one of the greatest trade
chances ever offered to the people
of Mt. Sterling.
Even though offered at half
price for Introductory purposes
the specific is sold under a guaran-
tee to cure or the money will be
refunded.
If food does not digest well, if
there is gas or pain in the stomach,
if the tongue is coated and the
breath bad, if there is constipation
and straining, DR.. Towards spe-
cific will cure you. If it does not
you have W.. S. Lloyd's personal
guarantee to return your money.
DIR. Towards specific gives
quick relief and makes permanent
cures of constipation, dyspepsia
and all liver troubles.
These are strong statements, but
w. S. Lloyd is giving his custom
ers a chance to prove their truth
at just half the regular price-sixty
doses for 25 cents. If they are
not found true, all you have to do
is to ask for your money. 1899

Let's WhOOp it Up.

l like the chap who waves his arms
and says that this land is the best,
Who talks about our seen i C
charms, our highbrow east and
boundless west;
| like the man who waves the flag
and shouts about the stars and
stripes,
Who yells about the grand old rag
and every blooming evil swipes;
But, best of of all, / like the guy
who swears, when things are
simmered down,
This lands the best beneath the
sky and his town is the grandest
town.
Let's whoop it up for this old burg
as we'll as shout about the land,
Let's gurgle now and then a gurg
about the village near at hand;
Let's tell them bigger towns there
are but, when it comes to quail
ty,
That we have got them skinned so
far that others aren't one two
three.
Lets put this region on tn e
map in letters red that all may
read
Take off our coats and work and
scrap. take off our coats and
take the lead!
For, if this town we say is best,
I'll tell you what will happen
then;
The folks will all throw out their
chest and pass the word along
again;
The Folks that now are sound a.
sleep will waken then and start
to boost;
1t won't be long before we leap,
and hold, in fact, the topmost
roost.
For if you say the town is great,
instead of saying it is slow,
The best old town in this whole
State, you mighty quick will
make it sol
And, if this town gets on the jump
and swells its chest with local
pride,
Then other towns will take a
hump and whoop it up from tide
to tide;
The old Pacific soon will hear a
noise from old Atlantic's shore
A long and loud and lusty cheer
will wake communities that
snore.
And then indeed a man can yell
about this country great and
grand.
For when this town is feeling well
there's naugat the matter with
the land!-Douglas Malloch.

this up by rubbing heavy stones over

The southern states are recognized
as the land of hot breads and the
greatest variety Of biscuits may be
found there. The beaten biscuit is
favOrite always. Formerly this was
made by mixing a stiff dough of flour,
water and salt. and beating it upon
wooden block with a heavy mallet IN
til it was a mass of air blsters or
bubbles Now a machine is supplied
by which the modern housewife may
aerate her dough at an expenditure Of
less elbow grease In addition TO these
are the Maryland biscuits, which are
raised with yeast and the every pOpu-
lar light rolls, which are also an yeast
product. The old theory that hot bread
is injurious has long been exploded
One of the best refutations of the
charge is the fact that so much less
dyspepsia is found in the south. where
cold bread is seldom eaten, than IN
New ENGLAND where it is the staple
bread product.
