PROMPT ACTION WILL STOP
YOUR COUGH
When you first catch a Cold (often
indicated by a sneeze or cough) break
it up at once. The idea that "It does
not matter" often leads to serious
complications. The remedy which
immediately and easily penetrates the
lining of the throat is the kind de
manded. Dr. King's New Discovery
soothes the irritation, loosens the
phlegm. You feel better eX once.
"It seemed to reach the very spot of
my Cough" is one of many honest
testimonials. 60c. at your Druggists.

I know it is a positive cure for croup,"

URIC ACID lil MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Take a glass of Salts if your Back hurts
or Bladder bothers you Drink
more water.
If your mint have your meat every day,
eat it, bnt flush your kidneys with salts
ooe&sionaily, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost pnralyzca the kidneys in their ef
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become- sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
region,, sharp pa ina in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek Telicf two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithio, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
so it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad baits is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink.

Belief in the number 3 was at

Ubiquitous 8cot. !
Lord Strathcona often declared that
a Scotsman, though he spent his life
abroad, often remains a Scotsman, and
the ubiquity of the race was a favor- ,
ite conventional theme with him. To '
illustrate, he told of a Scotsman In
Shanghai who wagered with an In
c'edulous southerner that he would
discover a brother Scot In every ship
In the harbor. Going to each ship lit
turn and shouting, "Are you there
Mac?" into the engine room, h got
"Aye, aye," as answer every time.
Oil for Paint
For mixing with paint linseed oil
is the one which Is most commonly
used as an Ingredient. Other oils
might be tried and the best way to
test their relative worth is to mis (
only a small quantity of palut and )
test the result. Linseed oil, when I
pure. Is excellent, since it oxidiies and
becomes thick on exposure to the air.
It may be considered t'uj best of all
oils for use In paint, putty aud other
similar substances
Dyspepsia Routed by Laughter.
You may beat your dyspepsia by
joking at It. I sat down at the club
lunch opposite an artist suffering from
Indigestion, myself being a fellow suf
ferer. I prescribed Lot's take the
absolutely worst things! We ordered
roast pork, roly-poly pudding and
Scotch ale, laughed all th'i time at the
solemn men who were giving other ad
vice, and when we met again con
fessed that our dyspepsia had disap
peared in laughter! London Chron
icle. Plate Hangers.
In hanging old china plates for deco
rative purposes use three large white
dress hooks, placed at equal distances
apart on the edge of the plate. The
hanging wire or cord is run through
Mh-.u from the back side and drawn
up tightly. These hooks are much

Influence of Colore on Mind.
Colors, it has been found, nave a
great influence over the mind. A child
who suffers from a melancholy and

simply under the influence of green

San Francisco has lis Hindu temple,

on Its roof. A salW'ry, ornuMientcd
with plains, runs around the upper
part of the building, s.liich la of wood,

pect of the building is Moorish.
Distrusted Education.
Education was considered a disqual
ification in a servant a century ago.
Even Hannah More, who did much to
promote the Sunday-school movement,
.confined her curriculum to teaching the
children to read the Bible, the cate
chism "and such coarse works as may
fit them for servants." "I allow of
no writing for the poor," she stated
emphatically.
Strathcona'a Tie to Scotland.
Among the vast possessions of the
late Lord Strathcona must be counted
the little ialand of Colonsay, one of
the fragments of the shattered west
coast of Scotland. The snug island ia
the first haven which the storm-tossed
voyager reaches after he leaves the
shadow of the Mull of Klntyre and
crosses the open sea past the terrible
Torrana rocks.
Queer Hat of Soldiers.
Korean soldiars wear black or brown
felt bats decorated with red horse hair
of peacock feathers, and hanging from
the Bides, over the ears and around
their necks, are oval balls of porce
lain, amber and a queer kind of gum.
Light From Stars.
The light we receive from stsrs of
the first magnitude, like Vega, Is equal
approximately to a forty-thousandr
n,llllonth part of that of the sun. It
la calculated that the total light re
ceived from the lesser stars Is equal
to that of 3,009 stars of the first mag
nitude, or a sixth part of that which.
Is sent to as from, the moos.
He Believes In Dreams.
Never be vindictive, even in your
flaep. Mr. Mlggs, a well-known citl
:n of the North End, was chased by
a bull li hi dreams the other night.
Across the pasture dashed Mlggs, the
bull gaining at every Jump. Breath
lessly Mlggs reached the fence at
last, and, safe astride the top, turned
and kicked th j hull in the nose, break
ing one of his toes on the wall beside
the bed. He Is out on crutchbS this
week Newark Neva.
Life-Giving Properties of Colors.
Experiments show that the order of
colors ranked as to their life-giving
properties will be: blue, violet, yellow,
red and green. Thus, If a patient Is
put In a hospital where green pre
dominates he has a far slimmer
chance of speedy recovery than If he
were comfortably fixed la a blue room.
Inherited Chnract-sr.
It has been explained that character
nd behavior of all orgnnic matter,
plants as well as animal 1 and human
beings, is determined by what are
known as character urlts. Thus in.
taking a hypothetical case of the
shrewd, cruel father aid the shiftless,
kind mother, we hae four distinct
character units, whlct through inheri
tance reappear variously grouped la
the offsnrina.
Proceaa of Milking.
I do not know that the process of
milking has ever been described. The
forefinger first clasps the upper part
of the teat, and then the middle, ring
ad little Augers, in rapid succession,
so as to drive the milk before them
through the orifice. The knack is
rather difficult to acquire, and at first
very wearying to the hands, though
this soon passes. From "A Farmer'
Note Book," by C. E. D. Pii jips.
Simple Explanation.
Mr. SloiK-y "What a lot I seem to

Canada and Europe.
The total area of the Dominion of
Canada is only 237,000 square mllea
less than the whole continent of Eu

It would be 80,000 square miles larger

Normality the Essential.
The normal mau is the one who
succeeds in life. He must have im
agination and cjurage, endurance
and industry, the power to concentrate
as well as intelligence. But first of all
he must be normal, moderate in his
habits, careful of his health, careful
of his digestion and of his nerves.
