Cures When Doctors Fall
Mrs Frank Chiasson Patterson La
writes June 8th 1901 I had malaria
fever in very bad form was under treat
ment by doctors but as soon as I
stopped taking their medicine the fever
would return I used a sample bottle
of Herbine and found it helped me
Then bought two bottles which com
pletely cured me I feel grateful to you
for furnishing such a splendid medicine
and can honestly recommend it to those
suffering from malaria as it will surely
cure them 50c at A McMillens

makes them eat sleep and grow Good

THE BEST DAY OF ALL
Itvo ItCBaonH TVJiy Sunday Altrny
Appeal to tlie Children
On weekday mornings father had
gone to work when you came down
stairs but on Sunday mornings when
you awoke a trifle earlier if anything
Father
Silence
Father5 a little louder
Then a sleepy Yes
We wont to get up
It isnt time yet You children go to
Bleep
You waited Then
Father Is it time yet
No You children lie still
Bo you and LIzbeth wideawake
whispered together and then to while
away the time while father slept you
played Indian which required two lit
tle yells from you to begin with when
the Indian You arrived In your war
paint and two big yells from Lizbeth
to end with when the Paleface She
was being scalped
Then father said it was no use
and mother took a hand You were
quiet after that but it was yawny ly
ing there with the sun so high You
listened Not a sound came from fa
ther and mothers room You rose cau
tiously you and Lizbeth in your little
bare feet You stole softly across the
floor The door was a crack open so
you peeked in your face even with the
knob and Lizbeths just below And
then at one and the same instant you
both said Boo and grinned and the
harder you grinned the harder father
tried not to laugh which was a sign
that you could scramble into bed with
him you on one side and Lizbeth on
the other cuddling down close while
mother went to see about breakfast
It was very strange but while it had
been so hard to drowse in your own
bed the moment you were in fathers
you did not want to get up at all In
deed It was father who wanted to get
up first and it was you who cried that
It was not time
Weekdays were always best for most
things but for two reasons Sunday
was the best day of all One reason
was Sunday dinner The other was fa

JAPANESE REGALIA
Royal Emblems Witliont tVHicIi tlie
Emperor Could Not Rule
The Japanese royal emblems consist
of a copper mirror symbolic of knowl
edge a steel sword symbolizing cour
age and agate jewels representing
mercy The story of their origin was
told thusby a Japanese official
The sun goddess became angry with
the earth and withdrew into a cave
plunging everything into darkness
The other deities could not induce her
to comeout so began to make a noise
t
as of great rejoicing which aroused
the curiosity of the Irate goddess She
finally came to the mouth of the cave
to learn the cause of the uproar and
was told that they had found a more
beautiful goddess than herself The
sun goddess came out then demand
ing to see her rival and the crafty dei
ties held the mirror before her which
drove all her sulkiness away
i The sword was taken by Susenoo
the brother of the sun goddess from
the tail of an eight headed serpent
that had been annually devouring a
beautiful girl Susenoo placed eight
great tubs of wine in his way and when
he was sleeping killed him and took
the sword as a trophy
The sword is kept in an apartment
near the imperial bedchamber and
called the Room of the Sword The
jewels have also a room to themselves
and the mirror Is in charge of a priest
ess The regalia have the highest sig
nificance in the eyes of the people and
It Is held that no emperor can possibly
rule without the three virtues which
they represent He must moreover
hold the actual tokens and in the im
perial code it is enjoined that on the
death of the sovereign his heir must
take possession of them
The Basin of an Apple
One end of the apple bears the name
of basin and contains the remnants
of the blossom sometimes called the
eye of the fruit This part of the apple
Is deep in some varieties and shallow
and open in others This is the weak
est point in the whole apple as con
cerns the question of the keeping qual
ity of the fruit If the basin is shallow
and the canal to the core firmly closed
there is much less likelihood of the
fruit decaying than when it is deep
and the evident opening connects the
center of the fruit with the surface
As It Really Was

Macduff was motionless

Constipation is nothing more i
than a ciojreinir of the bowels
and nothing less than vital stag
nation or death if not relieved
If every constipated sufferer
could realize that he is allowing
poisonous filth to remain in his
system he would soon get relief
Constipation invites all kind of
contagion Headaches bilious

ments disappear when consti
pated bowels are relieved Thed
