One OF the most curious cases Of

to Esther. Its origin 10 shrouded In

as Atossa and finally as Aster. Com

star, 1t gave rise to the modern es-

Esthera and Hestera.
So in England, there arose Esther,
Hester, and Hetty. In France Esther

The enumeration Of the population during q
census Of the United States always presents
numerous difficulties, among them apprehension
on the part Of the people, particularly those OF
foreign birth or extraction, that their answers
to the enumerators questions viii cause increased
taxation, legal entang1ements or other conse-
quences injurious to their welfare. The schools
can assist materially in quoting such unfounded
fears and at the same time acquaint all persons
with the main questions included in the census
schedules.
1T is therefore, earnestly hoped that school
teachers win see the opportunity presented them
as public servants who come in contact with large
numbers of people to correct any erroneous opin-
ions about the census which they may hear. It
is no less earnestly hoped that school children
viii convey to their homes the information that
taking the census is gigantic task that can only
he successfully carried out if all the people CO.
operate by giving the census enumeration correct
and complete answers to all questions"
A special circular for the use Of schools has
been prepared by the census bureau and will be
distributed to teachers in the larger cities.

Urges Them to Profit by His
Experience. Says He Was

Very Bilious With Spot.

Had Little Boils All Over His
Body, But Dreco Has Wiped
Away All of These Troubles

bell. the widely known merchant and
farmer Of Wheeling, Delaware County,
Ind
Il used to have spots dancing be-
fore my eyes; dizzy spells: was so
nervous couldn't sleep sound and my
blood was not in good condition, for
small boils would break out all over
my body. My entire system was weak
and rundown when I started taking
Dreco. but that medicine seemed to
go right to the bottom of my troubles
and wipe them out.
I've taken two bottles of Dreco and
my nerves are steady as a clock; I
sleep sound every night; haven't had
dizzy spell now in weeks and the
spots have disappeared before my
eyes. Dreco has cleansed my blood
for the boils are all gone and my skin
is as smooth as baby's. I feel great
and give all the praise to Dreco."
Dreco acts on the bowels and re-
lieves constipation, thereby removing
the cause of many troubles. It will be
noticed after taking Dreco the head
aches fail to appear; the nerves are
soothed; sound sleep Is induced: the
appetite increases: no more dizzy
spells; the stomach digests the food
without having gas to follow and the
kidneys perform their duty Of strain
ing the impurities from the blood,
thereby putting stop to rheumatism
and other disorders.
Mr.. Powers the well known Dreco
expert, has headquarters at Thistleth-
waite's Drug Store to meet the local
public and explain the merits Of this
great remedy. See him today.-Adv.

Piqskin Makes Good Leather.

Leather is scarce and in the coun-
tries that have been the longest at war,
the scarcity of leather is possibly caus-
ing the most concern. Pig skins are
wasted and they make the finest kind

found to be highly satisfactory for
shoes, and fancy leather goods.
