A severe attack on school principal, Chas. B. Allen, of Sylvania, Ga.. is thuM told by him. "For more than three years," he writes, "I suffered indescriba ble torture from rheumatism, liver and etomach trouble and diseased kidneys. All remedies failed till I used Electric Bitters, but four bottles of this wonder ful remedy cured me completely." Such results are common. Thousands bless them for curing stomach trouble, fem ale complaints, kidney disorders, bill- S] ousneness, and for new health and vigor. p Try them. - Only 50e at all druggists. The Value of a Baby. Ni N. 0. O. Dally Item. tn There is no escape from figures to these days, even in the cradle. Un- "I less a value is expressed in terms of dollars it is not presumed to t have a meaning. This is extreme, It of course, but it serves to point to a very real aspect of this commer cial age. P1 The California Board of Health ' recently declared that the value of n a baby is $4000. This is a point , on which there is permissibly a w wide difference of opinion. The l poor seem to have a high opinion M of the value of babies, to judge from the number of them they t have. The rich have comparative ly poor an opinion of them. The w home of wealth with more than it one or two children is the excep tion. Of course, this is the senti-. mental way of looking at it. When the grave pronouncement d of the California body fell upon Ii waiting ears, two colleges profes-. sore took issue with it and under- I took each to show the real value ei of a baby. One of them declared that $150,(100 was nearer the real a worth. The other said that a ba- p by at $20 would be a losing invest t' mt ent. This is presumable the h calm, dispassiouate view of the subject. It varies as widely as 1, the sentimenital view. The value of a baby, in a broad a t. sense, probably depends upon the a birth-rate and population of a country and upon that country's I state of harmony with other con-u. tries. A war, causing a sudden 3 death rate, would naturally put a premium upon the birth-rate. The value of babies individually, how. ever, could never be determined. I, One might be a future George Washington, thbt other an embr) .onic burglar. Which would Le -the more valuable then? It all goes to show the human flesh can not be dealt in like beef, and that, after all, there must be ai difference between Man and Beast. Medicinues that aid nature are always most sueceesful. Chamberlalu's Cough I r Remedy acts on this plan. It looses I p the coughs, relieves the lungs, opens the secretions oand aide nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. Sold I all by druggists. The country church is a power ful factor for civilization and the pastor, when he does his duty to wards his people, is instrumental in fostering cooperation, education and social purity. True religion not only gives men a grasp of the kingdom, but it makes them good guardians of terrestial affairs. Give the church your support and the pastor your co-operation in making men and women better. - j Tears Farm anud Ranch. Horses and Mules FOR SALE.
