Unity of Purpose is Necessary.
Horace Lurimerin the Field and Farm
gives a good piece of advice on tho rela
tions of employer and employe as follows:
".Some fellows ean only see those above
thorn, and others can only see those tin
der them but a good man is cross eyed
nnd can see both ways at once. An .i
sistnnt who becomes his manager's right
hand is going to find the left hand help
ing him nnd it is not hard for a clerk ;
find good |M)int* in a boss who finds good
ones in him. Pulling from above und
Itoosting from below makes climbing
easy. In handling men your own feel
ings an* the only ones that are of no im
portance."
Mr. Joseph Pominville, of Stillwater.
Minn., after having spent over (2,(JOG with
the l»est doctors for stomach troul h .
without relief, was advised by his drug |
gist, Mr. Alex. Richard, to try a box of
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tab
lets. He did so, and is a well man today.
If troubled with indigestion, bad taste in
the mouth, lack of appetite or constipa
tion, give these Tablets a trial, and you
are certain to be more than pleased with
the result. For sale at 25 cents per box

Too Great a Risk.
In almost every neighborhood some
one has died from an attack of colic or
cholera uiorbus, often before medicine
could be procured or a physician sum
uioncd. A reliable remedy for these dis
eases should be kept at hand. The risk
is too great for anyone to take. Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy has undoubtedly saved the lives
of more people and relieved more pain
and suffering thnn any other medicine
in use. It can always be de]>ended U|>on.

Breaking Heifers.
E. L. Vincent, in the New York Trib
une Farmer, after deploring the usual
rough handling of heifers being broken
to milk, has tin* following to say:
“There is another nnd a better way of
teaching n heifer to stand while milking.
That is through patience. It is asking
a great deal of some men that they shall
exercise this virtue, of which they have
a small stock: but there may l>e Home
hand about the farm who does issssess
patience, and to this man, whoever he
may be, the priviledge of training the
heifers should lx* intrusted. This man
will take his seat close to the young
cow, so that he may not be pushed away.
He will hold his pail firmly between his
legs. At first an old pail should be used,
and it may be there will not be much
milk in it when the work is done the
first few times. He will sjteak kindly
and encouragingly to the heifer, and if
she tries to assert herself he will not
got angry, but stick strictly to business.
After the work is done he will stroke the
heifer’s Hide and let her know that he is
her friend, not her enemy. A few milk
ings like this will take almost any heifer
through the trying ordeal of being taught
to be’milked."
GREATLY ALARMED
tly ■ Persistent Cough, but Permanently Cured
by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Mr. H. P. Burbage, a student at law.
in Greenville, 8. C., had been troubled
for four or five years with a continuous
cough which he says, "greatly alarmed
me, causing me to fear that I was in the
first stage of consumption." Mr. Bur
bage, having scon Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy advertised, concluded to try it. ,
I Now read what he says of it: "I soon ;
felt a remarkable change and after using
two bottles of the twenty-live cent Hize,
was permanently cured. ’ Sold by O. R. '
