Speaking of the Divorce Evil Trying to succeed in business without advertising Is like the case of the man who, trying to cut expenses, divorced his wife and alone attempted to keep house and raise his children. It cost him more money for doctor bills and funere, ex penses in a year than he gave his wife in a lifetime. When advertising is divorced, business sc cess becomes failure.

Char lan was about forty feet from Smith S when he covered him with his shot- t. gun. and ordered him to surrender. , Smith wheeled and brought his rifle to his shoulder, but as did so, Charlan fired both barrels, literally riddling j Smith.

Without question, the Scots curler of whom Lord Lyveden tells in Fry's Magazine, placed the proper value on his sport.

All the same, they were trudging home, with weary steps and very weary-looking faces. Their baskets were empty, and, to be candid, they were in a very bad temper. As they entered the little village a large dog ran at one of the party. The dog had a ferocious look and was barking furiously. But the fisherman did not take much alarm at the ani mal. He just kicked it away care. lessly. "Aren't you afraid he'll go for you?" inquired anbther of the party, some. what anxiously. The one who had kicked at the dog looked at his companion in a sorrow. ful manne:r "I only wish he would!" he replied. "I'd chance almost anything to be able to go home and say rd had a bite!"

Prove it by science or by practlcal demonstration in the recovery of cof. fee drinkers from the above eoadl. tlons, and a large per cent of the hu. man family will shrug their shoulders, take some drugs and-keep on drink* tir coffee or tea.
