Broken Stove Lining.

If say one contemplates mending a
broken; stove lining with a cement
made Of salt and ashes mixed with wa
ter, don't do it. The salt will rust the
stove, running it beyond repair. In
stead, get quart or so of cement and
some sand from the street, and mix
with water. Fill all the holes and
cracks and your lining will be as good
as a new one and your stove not in
tured.

Cause of Headache

By knowing the cause, disease may
often be avoided. This is particularly
true Of headache. The most common
cauSt ~ Tea acne is disordere stom-
ach or constipation, which may be cor
rected by taking few doses of Cham
berlain's Tablets. Try it. Many others
have obtained permanent relief by TAX
ing these Tablets. They are easy to
take and mild and gentle in effect.

Do You Enjoy Life?

A man in good physical condition is
almost certain to. enjoy life, while the
bilious and dyspeptic are despondant,
do not enjoy their meals and feel mis-
cradle a good share of the time. This
ill feeling is nearly always unnecessary.
A few doses of Chamberlain Tablets
to tone up the stomach, improve the
digestion and regulate the bowels is all
that is needed. Try it.
