Newcastlo Times. Th Times man had better take another drink and look at his cali n dar and he will find that The Herald's issue dav did not come on January 18 1908. We probably ought to feel com nlimented for the apace devoted to us hv the Times, as it only contained about three sticks full of news matter and six lines of that was taken tip in trying to "say something." Or it mient be that this was the first time the Times editor had been to the oflice since January 1, 1008. and of course nn wrvnM crab The Herald the first thing.

A class composed of the following received their first Holy communion Hemlock, Chestnut and Oak Furnish the Tan Hark. No other nation produces half ns much tunned, curried and finished leather as tho Uuntcd States, which yields over one-fourth of the world's supply. Six hundred and seventeen tanneries contribute to this output The raw material Includes 10S,X,XK) hides and skins, including a largo number from Argeutiua. To tan this immense quantity of leather, valued at $-oO,WO,(X0 lust year, required over 1,250,000 cords of tan bark, worth nearly ?13,0tx),000, and more than o.jO,i.iiiO barrels of tauning extract, worth fS,7OO,OO0.' Over two-thirds of the tan bark con sumed comes from hemlock, aud over one-fourth from oak ; chestnut and other woods contribute the remainder. More extract is secured from chestnut, however, than from all other domestic woods combined. A small quantity of extract of a little over 1,000 barrels conies from the roots of the palmetto. Although tho tanning Industry ia widely distributed over the United States,' the greater part of It Is carried on iu the states of Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan and Wisconsin, which use uure than two-thirds of the tan ning materials consumed. Pennsyl vania, alunee consumes over 900,000, Otto pounds of bark aud extract worth $s.(mjo,ooo. or 37 per cent of the total value. Since 10OO the quantity of the bark used has falleu off 13 per cent, al though its value has Increased. During this period tho consumption of extract Increased from G7,0iO to 000.000 bar rels a pear, from which ueariy 00,000 barrels wereimported. Relatively small quantities of hemlock bark were Im ported from Canada, and of mangrove bark from the West Indies and Africa. In weight, four times as much quebra cho was Imported In bark as in ex tract form, but the value of the two forms was about the same. I'.ark brought the lowest price In New Hampshire, and the highest Iu Oregon, with an average or ?0.J0 per cord. More than In bark the price of extract varied widely according to tho material from which It was manufac tured. The extract of quebracho, tree of Mexico, Central America, South America and the West Indies, from which seven-eighths "of all Imported tanning materials are secured, had an average price of $1S per barrel, and hemlock brought $12.00 per barrel, oak $0.00 per barrel aud chestnut $0.12 per barrel. Statistics of the consumption of tan bark and tanning extract In 1000, gathered In co-operation with the bu reau of tho census, are given In circu lar 119 of the forest reserve.

In this advanced age of civilization, there is so much competition in everj line of business and entertainment, that it ia only the most enterprising that succeed. Nearly every year some circus closes or consolidates with some other; this year several are closing, and why? Because competition has become so strong that it takes only the shrewd est and keenest business men to keep up with the onward rush and take out a circus that will be up to date in every respect and satisfy and please the tastes of the people of today. Men who intend to cater to this gen eration in any line of entertainment must be up and doing all the time, no laggards can stay in this race, for race is what it amounts to; and there is not a dav. week, or month iu the whole year that the energetio Camp bell Brother can set aside, for rest cr vacation .

Bran is the latest health food, ac cording to a Walnut street physician and", as a result, feed store merchants are enjoying an unheard-of prosperity, Bran Is the outer covering of wheat, rye, oats, and other similar grain, and has been used from time Immemorial for food for cattle. Its use as a food for human beings, however, Is compara tlvely recent; but leading physlclana with troublesome Indigestion cases on hand are resorting to the bran cure. Brown bread had its origin as bran bread, being made from bran instead of tlour. The color of the bread and the similarity In names gave the occa sion of the change from bran to brown, and the great majority of the brown bread of to-day does not contain any bran. Doctors tay bran is a step back to nature, and, consequently, Is healing to an ailing stomach. Within the paat few months more physicians have been reeommendius th- use of bran In many forms to their patients, and. as the rtv su'.t of this boom, proprietors of th city feed stoivs have advanced the price of bran from 3 cents to 10 cent a pound since summer.

If you suffer pain froni any cause, Dr. Miles' Anti-J Pain Pill3 will relieve it and leave no bad after-) effects. That's the impor tant thing. Neither do they create a habit. More often the attacks becomo less frequent, or disappear, altogether. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills have no other effect except to re lieve pain and quiet nerv ous irritation. "We are never without Tr. Miles' Antt-Pain 1111s. My husband and Bon, BgfA 15 were always Bubject to elok headache until we beRiin uslnif these I'llls. and they have broken them up entirely. Iwin't think they have had to use them for six months. I recommend them to every one. A few weeks r.fro 1 heard an old lady friend was sick. I went to see her. She was down with ljiGrlppe. and nearly crazy with awful backache. I give her one of the Antl-Paln I'illa and left another for her to take In a short time. They helped her right away, and nhe says Bhe will never bo without them again. I-ast winter my husband was taken with pluerlsv on both sides, and I know he would have riled If It hadn't been for the Pills. In less than half an hour he was sweating, and went to bed and slept."
