Heart disease is curable, but in people of advanced age it does not readily lend itself to ordinary treatment. There is, however, hope for all sufferers in Dr. Miles' Heart Cure, which we know from watching hun dreds of cases and from the letters of grateful sufferers, will cure where all else has failed. It is not only a wonderful cure for weak and diseased hearts, but it is a blood tonic, a reg ulator of the heart's action and the most effective treatment ever formulated for im proving the circulation of the blood. "During the Civil war I contracted heart disease, and in 1896, while living in the grand old town of Lexington. Va-, I grew so much worse, I left there with my wife to visit my s;ster-in-law, Mrs. T. A. Kirby, at Roanoke, Va. While I said nothing to anyone I never expected to live to return to the dear old town. On reaching Mrs. Kirby's she insisted I should try Dr. Shies' Heart Cure. I pro cured a few bottles of itabo the Nervine and Tonic After using one or two bottles, I could see no improvement, and I despaired of ever being better, but my faithful wife in sisted on keeping it up, which I did. Im provement soon began in earnest and I took in all fifteen or sixteen bottles. I was re stored to perfect health and while I am 70 y;ars old, I am comparatively a boy. You sir, are a benefactor, and I cheerfully recom mend Dr. Miles Heart Cure to suffering humanity." J. L. Slaughter, Salem, Va. All druggists sell and guarantee first bottle Dr. Miles' Remedies.

The most re- Th9 Way to Do It. . cent case is from Davidson College in this State. A special from Charlotte to the News and Observer 6th said: "It is reported here that between twenty-five and thirty students have been ex pelled from Davidson College, the reasons given being mis chievous conduct, lack of application to studies and other transgressions of similar import. It is said that the ex pelled students received notices while at their homes dur ing the holidays that they need not return." tttt Many remember vividly how it was a few years ago when cotton sold at five cents: but perhaps not so many are will ing to come back to the economy which The Other Side. such prices forced upon us. The econ omy which was practiced in conse quence of such low prices is the chief cause why the. same persons who suffered then are more independent now. Many a farmer who felt driven to the wall under five-cent cotton is now able to hold his cotton for a better price than he can now get. The economy which came as a result of low prices a few years ago had as much hand in making farmers now independent as did the high price of cotton last year. That same sort of economy will again do the same thing for those who will practice it. tttt Newspapers generally stand for morality and right, but now and then one sees a newspaper that is quite inconsist ent. Editorially it denounces all forms Ncwspapsr Gambling, of vice and businessly it practices the lottery. The Progressive Farmer gives the following information : "Attorney-General Moody has decided that the guessing contests by which so many trashy newspapers have built up large circulations not on merit, but by appealing to the gambling instincts of the credulous are virtually lotteries and therefore unlawful. This de cision will be gratifying to the great body of reputable newspapers which have not cared to get patronage by gam bling devices. We are glad to know that the Attorney Geferal's ruling .will be rigidly n?,vcl by the P'stoffice Department." x . tut The first real yarn we have seen on the 'green horn" members of the Legislature is the following from Col. Olds' correspondence to the Charlotte Ob First Yarn From th9 server a day or so after that body con Capitcl. vened : "Some very funny things are already beginning in the capitol. One of the members asked another to-day how many families lived in the capitol. The other man caught on and answer ed and said he thought there were about fifteen. Then the green horn said he expected that was right, as he had seen a number of young ladies of different families, and he ex pected to put in his spare time visiting around. He had seen some of the numerous young lady stenographers. The old hand then told the green horn that he would find a bar room at the northwest corner on the lower floor, and when he went there the first time for a drink they might give him the cold shoulder, but not to mind that, but ask again and say he was a member, because the State provided the stuff. The green horn said he expected to call pretty early at the bar, as the weather here was colder than he was used to, and he felt the need of a nip." tttt. Our friends in Virginia are making it rather uncomforta ble for husbands who will not support their families, that is if a berth in the jail is an uncomforta Jalling Mean Husbands, ble place. In both Norfolk and Rich mond sorry husbands have been pun ished recently for not caring for their families as they ought. In Richmond a few days ago Judge Witt sentenced a man to jail for a year because he would not support his family. The judge made the following remarks to the man who was sentenced : "The law gives me discretion in this case. You will go to jail for a year or until you give me bond in the sum of $500 for the support of your wife and her child. The intent of the law is to make men support their wives and children. That you hav got to do, or you serve your sentence in. the jail." The Times-Dispatch speaks approvingly of Judge Witt's action as follows; "The Times-Dispatch believes in personal liberty, and is opposed to harsh and sumptuary laws, but we also believe in the enforcement qf legal contracts. In Virginia marriag e is a legal contract, and when a man takes Unto himself a wife he assumes what is more than a moral vow. He en ters into a legal agreement to cherish and support her, and when he fails to carry out his agreement it is entirely prop er aud consistent with the general principles of government for the law to lay its hands upon him and make him dis charge his obligation."

Their action upon the system, is mild, pleasant and harmless. Bob Tloore, of LaFayette, Ind.f says : "No use talking, DeWitt's Little Early Ris ers do their work. All other pills Ihaye used gripe and make me sick in the stomach and never cured me. De Witt's Little Eaily Risers proved to be tbe long sought re!ief. They are sim ply perfect."

Summer and winter there flourishes in Boston a City History Club having several branches. It was modeled upon a successful club of the same character in New York City. 1 In summer, when the work is at its best, tbe instructor meets every day a different group of boys, ten, perhaps, lads who were born abroad or are tbe children of aliens. For an hour he talks to them about the Common or Faneuil Hall or the Old South Church, or some other place or building, and tbn they visit the place and locate the historic land marks. Every boy keeps a note-book and records in bis own words tbe things he learns. During the season each group bears fifteen such lectures, and after each one makes an excursion. It seldom happens that a boy misses a meeting, a ad tbe effort the boys make to do their part is shown by the thorough ness with which they keep up their note-books. At tb end of tbe season they probly know more than tbe aver age citizen does about the men and events that have made Boston famous, probably their sense of ciyic pride is greater than his. Early in tbe course tbe boys grasp tbe great truth that, as the things done in the past profoundly influence thenation of to-day, so the republio of the future will bo what they help to make It. At their age they are learn ing for life, and ttat which they learn tends to build up a high ideal of duty. In almost any city there is material for looal history clubs to work upon -iandwarks ot national progress, and young people who should be made fa miliar with them. Intelligent pride in one's own city and State is tbe be ginning of patriotism ; nor need any ivils follow In its train. If it is intel lect It can never foster sectional prej udice. If it is cultivated in all classes it will leave no room for intolerant feeling toward any race or sect that is willing to wear ibe name "American." Slighting a Duty. Exchange. "You haven't made things look very neat and orderly here in the back sncp, said a merchant to a young clerk. "Well, I thought it was good enough for back there, where things cannot be seen very plainly, and where customers seldom go." "That won't do," said the merchant sharply ; and then added in a kinder toue : "You must get ideas of that kind out of your head, my boy, if you hope to succeed in life. That kind of 'good enough' isn't much better than 'bad enough.'" And the merchant made the boy go aqd do all the cleaning over again. The girls who do not sweep in the corners or dust under things, and tbe boys th.it dispose of things, as quickly as possible, saying that things will do if they are not well done, are the boys and girls who will, not turn out to te great men and useful women. SPEEDY RELIEF. A salve that heals without a scar is DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. . No remedy effects such speedy relief. It draws out inflammation, soothes, cools and heals all cuts, burns and bruises. A sure cure for Piles and skin diseases. DeWitt's is tbe only Witch Hazel Salve. Beware of counterfeits, they are dangerous. Sold by E. T. White bead & Co. A Stes at a Time. Theodore L. Cnyler. In accomplishing your day's work you have simply to take one step at a time. To take that step wisely is all that you need to think abnut. If I am climbing a mountain, to look down may make me dizzy ; to look too far up may make me tired and discouraged. Take no anxious thought for tbe mor row. Sufficient for the day yes, and for each hour in tbe day is tbe toil and trial thereof. There is not a child of Gol in this world wbo is strong enough to stand tbe strain of to-day's duties and all tbe load of to-morrow's anxieties piled upon the top of them. Paul himself would have broken down if he bad attempted tbe experiment. We have a perfect right to ask our Heavenly Father for strength equal to the day ; but we have no right to ask Him tor one extra ounce of strength for anything beyond it. When the morrow comes grace will come suffi cient for its tasks, or. for it troubles. "Let me be strong in word and deed Just tor to day ! Lord, for to-morrow and its need I must pray." ; ; COUGHS AND COLDS. All coughs, colds and pulmonary complaints tbat.are curable are quickly curedby One Minute Cough Cure.

Fortunate Countries Where People Ought to Ba Very Cool Golden Penny. Denmark claims that there is not a single person in her domain who can not read and write. On the northeast coast of New Guinea, tbe Island of Kutaba, surrounded by a wall of coral 300 feet high on one side and from 50 to 100 feet on tbe other, maintains thirteen villages of natives, to whom war, crime and poverty have been un known since tb iginning of their traditions. The most peaceful and comfortable community In Europe is tbe commune of the Canton Vaud, m Switzerland. Nearly every one Jia well off, and there are no piupere. Finland is a realm whose inhabitants are re markable tor their inviolate integrity, There are no banks and no safe depos its, tor no such security is essential. You'may leave your luggage anywhere for any length of time and be quite sure of finding it untouched on your return, and your purse full of money would be just as secure under similar circumstances. The Fins place their money and valuables In tbe ground and cover them with a big leaf. Such a treasure is sacredly respected by all who pas it, but, in tbe rare event of a man wishing tomorrow of bis neighbor during his absence, he will take only tba smallest sum he reouires. and place a message in the, hole telling ot bis urgent need and promising to re- pay tbe sum on a specified date. And J he will invariably keep his word, for tbe Fin is invincible in his independ ence. Agneta Park, near Pea! It, in Hol laed, is another Utopian example. A tract of ten acres has upon it 150 bouses, each with its little garden and with certain common buildings and common grounds. Tbe bousaa are oc cupied by the employes of a great dis tilling company, wbo lorm a corpora tion which owns the park. Each mem ber owns shares in the corporation and pays rent for his house. The surplus, after all expenses have been paid, comee to him as dividend. If be wishes to go away, or if he dies, bis shares are bought up by the corporation and told to the man who takes his pl.-.ce. CURED HIS MOTHER OF KHEU MATISM. "My mother ha3 been a sufferer for many years from rheumatism," says W. H. Howard of Husband, Pennsylvania. At times she was unable to move at all, while at all times walking was painful We presented her with a bottle of Cbam brlain's Pain Balm and after a few appli cations'she decided it was tbe most won derful pain relieyer she had ever tried, in fact,she is never without it and now is at all times able to walk. An occasional application ot Pain Balm keeps away tbe pain that she was formerly troub led with." For tale by all Druggists. The Fower of Little Things. Selected. A curious experiment was witnessed in a gun factory. A great bar of steel, weighing five hundred pounds and eight feet in length, was suspended vertically by a very delicate chain. Nearby was also suspended a common bottle-cork by a silk thread. The pur pose was to show that the cork could set the steel bar in motion. It seemed impossible. The cork was swung gent ly against the steel bar, and the steel bar remained motionless. But it w?s done again and again for ten minutes, and lo ! at the end of that time tbe bar gave evidence of feeling uncom fortable ; a sort ot nervous chill ran over it. Ten minutes later, and the chill was followed by vibrations. At the end of half an hour the great bar was swinging like the pendulum of a clock. No man is mighty enough in hie own energy of will to feel secure, if he is exposed to a constantly repeated in fluence for evil. The constant beating of a raindrop has often worn a bole in a stone; and the constant hearing of low views of honesty, of yirtue, of spirituality, though at first offensive and opposed, has, in the end, taken away many a man's vigor and sapped tbe strength of many a Christian. THE SECRET OF SUCCESS. Forty million bottles of August Flower sold in tbe United State's alone since its introduction ! And the de mand for it is still growing. Isn't that a fine showing of success? Don't it prove that August Flower has had un failing success in the cure of indiges tion and dyspepsia the two greatest enemies of health and happiness? Does it not afford the best evidence that August Flower is a sure specific for all stomach and intestinal disorders? that it has proved itself the best ot all liver regulators? August Flower has a matchless record of over thirty- five years in curing the ailing millions of tbece distressing complaints a suc cess that is becoming wider in its scope every day, at home and abroad, as tbe fame of August Flower, spreads.

A constantly Increasing number of physicians prescribe Peruna in' their practice. It has proven its merits so thoroughly that even the doctors have overcome their prejudice against so call ed patent medicines and recommend it to their patients. Peruna occupies a unique position in medical science. It is the only internal systemic catarrh remedy known to the medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as everyone will admit. Is the cause of one half the disease which afflicts mankind. Catarrh and catarrhal diseases afflict one-half of the people of United States. Rohert It. Iloborts, M. ., Wash ington, D.

Robert R. Roberts. Dr. K. Robbius, Muskogee, 1. T., writes: "Peruna is the best medicine I know of for coughs and to strengthen a weak stomach and to give appetite. Besides prescribing It for catarrh, I have ordered it for weak and debilitated people, and have not had a patient but said it helped him. It is an excellent medicine and it fits so many cases. "I have a large practice, and have a chance to prescribe ycur Peruna. I hope yen may live long to do good to the sick and the suffering." Dr. M. C.
