never been equalled Joe Golobick of

Do It Today
The time worn injunction Never put
off til tomorrow what you can do today
is now generally presented in this form
Do it today That is the terse advice
we want to give you about that hacking
cough or demoralizing cold with which
you have been struggling for several
days perhaps weeks Take some reliable
remedy for it today and let that rem
edy be Dr Botchees German Syrup
which has been in use for over thirty-
uvo years a iew doses of it will un
doubtedly relieve your cough or cold
and its continued use for a few days will
cure you completely No matter how-deep-seated
your cough even if dread
consumption has attacked your lungs
German Syrup will surely effect a cure
as it has done before in thousands of ap
parently hopeless cases of lung trouble

Cured of Brights Disease
Robert O Burke Elnora N Y writes
Before I started to use Foleys Kidney
Cure I had to get up from twelve to
twenty times a nisrht and I was nil
bloated up with dropsy and my eyesight
was so impaired I could scarcely see one
of my family across the room I had
given up hope of living when a friend
recommended Foleys Kidney Cure
One 50 cent bottle worked wonders and
before 1 had taken the third bottle the
dropsy had gone as well as all other

THE EXPERT CASTER
Placing Ilia Fly In Ndt Merc Chnnce
but a Fine Art
The art of casting is in itself simple
and may be readily acquired by any
pinstatong fisherman The rod passes
only through 11 quadrant It starts par
allel with the water and coming to
the perpendicular stops iTlie motion
is a quick rigid jerk as fast as it can
be made and the rod does the rest
The motion forward is nt the beginning
a gradual feeling for the tension of the
line that is when it is about to
straighten Once this is assured the
movement increases in rapidity from
butt to tip the result being niucli the
same as driving at a peg Willi a lbng
handled hammer slow at the start
and quick at the finish the bend of the
rod being first at the butt and gradual
ly ascending to the tip
In casting nothingis left to elianci
by the expert caster Ho knows exact
ly where he wants to put his fly with
in a foot cr two and puts It tjiere the
feathered barb traveling past him at
from six inches to four feet above the
water as he may elect although it may
go above the shoulder If desired In
some long casts one may scC the fly
pass below the hip Indeed the degree
of command one can gradually acquire
is really wonderful
A single cast where hsh are located
is as a rule sufficient They will rise
at once and if tlio fisherman is un ex
pert at dropping his -fly lie can bring
fish to the spot from some distance
One may frequently see fish attracted
from a point so far from the fly that
they break water two or three limes
before taking the hook On the otlicr
hand a fly awkwardly dropped will be
taken with a leisurely grab the fish
simply sucking it in and the exhilara
tion of a spirited rise is lost The more
expert a fisherman is at fly casting the
Unore thoroughly he enjoys the sport-

A Chinese JiCffeiid of the Orisfn
Thin Fierce Storia
This very odd bit is by a Chinaman
A little schoolboy while on his way
to school one day picked up what
seemed to him a small white pebble
He put it into his pocket It proved to
be a snake egg and in time through
the heat of his pocket it hatched out a
young reptile
The boy fell in love with it and car
ried it from day to day to school with
him and fed it with a part of his own
lunch until it became too big to be car
ried when he made a nest for it at
home
uut one day It suddenly grew to
enormous size and upon the boys ar
rival home he was frightened to death
When the monster saw what he had
done he was sorely afllicted and re
fused to be fed but immediately put on
mourning by turning his color from
brown to pure black He crawled be
side the grave of his departed friend
and lay there for seven days and
nights
At the completion of the seventh
night he came back to his late home
uuu mi- uov 5 oici inorner was so en
raged at him for killing her only son
that she picked up an ax and chopped
his tail off
With a fearful scream and a lash of
his bleeding tail he felled the house
and made his way to the Moo Soon San
mountains where he never shows him
self but once a year just about tho
time when he lost his tail to come out
and make trouble for
the people by cre
ating storms called the typhoon This
he does to square himself for losing his
Valuable tail
Lunnge Anntomy
The modern interest in science
through observation has become
more or less of a mania Even the chil

a great interest in physiology and anat

One day some members of the family
had been studying a dissected porcu
pine and making drawings of the
bones
Not long after his sisters took an old
lounge apart and Georgie watched
them Presently he came runnintr to
another member of the family bis eyes
on fire his cheeks flushed and his
locks flying behind him
Come Come he cried If you
want to study physerology nows your
