RURAL HOTELS IMPROVING
The Lyceum Lecturer Soon Becomes An Authority On Them


 An Authority On Them
 If you do not know the lyceum you do not know America, for if you do not know the lyceum you do not know Slippery Rock, Pa, and Broken Bow, Nebraska.
 Neither do you know the town where they pull the weary traveller out of bed at 6 o'clock Monday morning, de. spite the fact that his train does not leave till g, because: "It don't make no difference to us when you train leaves, this is wash day an we need them sheets for the laundry!"
 Oh, the hotels The Pleasant Views, from which the only view is the brick wall of factory; the Central houses. dumped down in the prairie three miles from the railroad. The rusty wood stoves in the offices" the bells which don't ring, the hot water faucets which never run hot water, the cuspidors too much missed. And the beds and the food, especially the food!
 know housewife who loves to pro- claim that Americans cook as we'll as any people. If her own table were the test few would dispute her; but, alas.
 
 tronomical resorts, the restaurants and hotels. By such a test how far does our country fall below the continent of Europe!
 Still, one recalls rare exception, 8 little hotel in Franklinville, N. T., or a boarding house in Itasca, Tex, where the board groaned under a wealth of dishes prepared with a taste and an originality worthy of Paris, and all for four bits, or maybe six!
 With thankfulness let it be chroni- cled that the small town hotel is i'm proving. Naturally, one finds better accommodations in the hamlets of the far west, staked out within the last 20 or 30 years, than in villages of New York.--Gregory Mason in Scribner's Magazine.

or stomach sour, just try a spoonful of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone to- night.
 Here's my guarantee-Go to any drug store and get a bottle of Dod- sons Liver Tone for few cents. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't straighten you right up and make you feel fine and vigorous I want you to go back to the store and get your money. Dodson's Liver Tone is destroying the sale of calomel because it is real liver medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore it can not salivate or make, you sick.
