Does Not Stimulate
Avcr's Sarsaparilla docs not stimulate. It docs not make
you feci better one day, then as bad as ever the next. It
Is not a strong drink. No reaction after you stop using t.
There is not a drop of alcohol in it. You have the steady,
even gain that comes from a strong tonic ami a Hcmlivc.
We wish you would ask your doctor aboiilthis. He
VC wish yuu wuuiu tn ZZr--n---i inr- U
knows. Trust him. Do as he says. TJLJUlIk

8n,ualor Is the outward expression
of hopeless and unrelieved poverty
But it Is not needed for tho poor
man's house to bo squalid. On tho
contrary, with Industry and care, and
tho bright service of a healthy wife
tho tiniest cottage may at times be
an nbodo In which tho most dainty
could pass n short tlmo with pleas
uro. On tho other hand, many bouses
becomo squalid without tho excuse
miserable as It Is, of abject poverty,
Thus, whllo wo may fairly rank pov
crty, as n main causo of squalor. It
Is not absolute nbsenco of money
which is tho chief causo. Cleaning
Is neglected; nnd whatever bo the
bulldlug, and however It bo finished
In which constant cleaning Is omltcd
dust accumulates, unexplained stains
make their appearance, and a pro
gress, moro or less rapid as tho case
may be, sets up toward decay and dl
lapldation.
Woman In Adversity.
Women should bo moro trusted and
confided in as wives, mothers and
sisters, They havo as quick pcrccp
tion of right nnd wrong, nnd without
always knowing why, rend tho pres
ent nnd future, rend characters and
acts, designs and probabilities, where
man sees no letter or sign. What else
do wo mean by tho adage "mother
wit," savo that woman has a quick
er perception and readier Invention
than man 7 How often, when man
abandons tho helm In despair, woman
seizes It, and carries tho home-ship
through tho storm I Man often files
from homo and family to avoid lm
pending poverty or ruin.
Woman seldom, if over, forsook
homo thus. Woman novcr evaded
mere temporal calamity by suicide or
desertion. Tho proud banker, rather
than live to sco his poverty gazetted
may blow out his brains and leave
wifo nnd children to want, protector
loss.
Loving womnn would havo counsel
led him to accept poverty, and live
to cherish his family and retrlevo
his fortune. Womnn should bocoun
soiled and confided In. It Is tho
beauty and glory of her naturo that
It Instinctively grasps at and clings
to tho truth and right.
Ilenson, man's greatest faculty will
take tlmo to hcsltata before It de
cldes; but woman's Instinct never
hesitates In Its decision, and Is sel
dom wrong where it hns oven clmnc
es with reason. Woman feels where
mnn thinks, acts where ho dcllber
ates, hopes whero ho despairs, and
triumphs where ho falls.
Wo spend our money, ns a rule, for
that which wo like, and wo nro like
that for which wo spend our money
I may go for fripperies nnd mater
lalltles that profit nothing. Or It may
bo made representative of that which
Is tho true bread of life.
To children, the presence of Intel'
llgent friends In tho houso Is a means
of advuncomeut, a real step In edu
cutlon. A family living wholly with
In Itself grows Inevitably narrow
Quito as Important as tho schools wo
select for our children aro tho friends
wo gather around us, In their and
our owu behalf.
The Excitable Man,
Behind tho counter, In tho business
office, In nn argument, or on tho bat-
tlo field tho cxcllnblo mnn Is n verit
able nuisance Ho Is tho follow who
goes off half cocked, nnd hon ho
opens his mouth always puts his foot
In It. Wise peoplo nro very enreful
Hint they don't get associated with
him In any kind of business. If ho
Is a foreman nnywhero ho hnrnsses
everyone tinder and does llttlo good
for thoso nbovo him. Ho does not
know how to handle horses or men.
for ho makes them both bnlky, nnd
doesn't get out of them half thnt Is
In them. Tho excitable man Is n
fnllnro for he Jumps nt conclusions
nnd becomes entlihslnstlc over tri
fles. Thoso are to bo pitied who
serve under him. nnd tho excitable
Mho sen on Is nlso n nuisance to his
boss. Tho oxcltable man Is always
using his gnb. such as It Is. Ho for
gets what Is often written, thnt tho
man who speaks too llttlo Is very
rare. The wise mnn's words nre ns
goads, few nnd well ordered. Kvory
render ran benr testimony to what
wo say. Ho cnu count sevornl In his
own circio who nre rnuity in mis
matter, perhaps himself. Tho euro
for this weakness la honest thought.
Think twice before you speak ouco"
hns been commended nnd disobeyed
In all tho generations. All stutter
ing comes from wanting to say too
much and saying It too quickly. Tho
guu thnt goes off hnlfcockcu wo
throw away. It Is dangorous. The
same disposition should bo made of
tho excitable man. Send him to tho
rear Many a merchant has lost n
good customer and much money by
tho excitable wagging of his tongue.
Speaking unadvisedly with his lips I
a common error, nnd ns destructive
to our peace nnd prosperity as Is Is
common. Tho cool, calm fellow does
not tell half ho thinks of persons
and things. It would itoicr do; the
fat would be In tho fire. You havo
made hasty and ugly remarks about
somebody. You havo dono moro than
that. You havo made them your
enuror forever. Swell your Income
by good words, for It Is not n bad
way. Magnify the good and let tho
evil pass.
THE LATEST SCHEME.
We note tho following In ono of
our exchanges: "Tho latest of fakes
ts practised on farmers by a man
who visits tho placu and claims that
ho has been sent out by tho State
to examine fruit treo diseases. Tbo
fellow will go over the orchard and
mark all trees which bo claims aro
affectod. Shortly after his visit, a
confederate wilt appear and say that
ho has a preparation which will euro
tho disease for which tho treo Is
condemned, nnd will contract to In
Ject a fluid Into tho roots for a cer
tain price. Both men nro swindlers
nnd should bo run off the place with
a shotgun."
FOR SALE: $375 cash takes tho
building and lot formerly used as an
offlco by tho Southern Wood Supply

this money. If you want a bargain
talk quick. This offlco.
BAKING HINTS.
Never plnco a pan or pnpor over
n cake whllo baking ns It ts almost
suro to rnuso tho cak to"fall."
When tho oven ts too hot plnco a
vessel of cold water therein, or tip
tho oven door a llttlo, being careful
to avoid draft.
At a certain stngo n slight Jar wilt
causo n tlellcnto cake to fall, there
fore bo very careful when working
nrouud the stova nnd do notinovo
tho cake until tho bnklng process Is
well nlong.
Butter which Is to bo used for rnko
should novcr bo melted beforehand;
a "sad" flat cako Is often tho direct
result of using melted butter. Always
rub the butter nnd sugar together
until n cream Is formed.
Sponge-rnko and all other mado
without butter, always requlro n llttlo
salt, no matter whether tho directions
cnll for It or not. When butter I
used tho salt contained therein Is
usually sufficient. A half teaspoon
ful or salt to n quart of tho cako bat
tor Is about right
