The lfttle Puritan children who lived in New England in the early days of this country used to play cook just as their great-great-grandchildren do now. Stoves had not been invented then, so everybody had to use fire-places instead. When the children wanted to bake their play loaves of bread, they drew a lot of hot coals down on the brick hearth and let them stay there until the bricks had become very hot, and then put the piece of dough on the hot bricks and let it bake. The fire places were something like our grates, only very much larger many of them being as large as a small room. At one side of the fire-place hung a long iron bar to hold the ket tles. It was called a crane. Away in against the bricks on each side of the fire were placed pieces of logs about ten inches high, and on these the children used to sit and play all through the winter. Just imagine the fun of sitting on a log right in the fire-place itself, so near the blaze that your place is red, and yet on looking up the chimney seeing the stars in the sky above your head! This was before the days of kerosene oil or gas, and candles were expen sive and scarce. There was little for children to read, so they would sit and pop corn, crack nuts, eat apples, or make up stories by the light of the fire every winter evening. Puritan Children. How About Iredell?

After years of experiment a new scientific remedy has been found that not only relieves, but absolutely cures Rheumatism and kindred dis eases, to stay cured. Rheumatism is caused by an excess of poisonous acids in the blood. The new disco v ery RHEMUACIDE, though purely vegetable, and acting through na ture's channels, neutralizes these acids and sweeps all poisons and harmful germs out of the blood. At the same time it tones up the stomach and regulates the liver and kidneys RHEUMACIDE, therefore, cures the disease permanently, because it removes the cause. It has cured hun dreds of cases after the most noted doctors and hospitals have failed RHEUMACIDE cured James Wilkes, of Dillon, S. C, after he had been held in bed by rheumatism for three years and his feet were drawn up al most to his back. This is only one of the many marvelous cures RHEU MACIDE : has already performed RHEUMACIDE is curing many cases of Rheumatism, Sciatica, Lumbago, Gout, " Kidney 'Trouble,- Indigestion, and Constipation, right in this com munity to-day. Because it has cured so many oth ers, we believe it will cure you. Al the leading druggists in this place Jamestown Exposition PEOPLE'S MUM Norfolk, Va.
