For Pain in Chest For sore throat, sharp pain in lungs, tightness across the chest, hoarseness or cough, lave the parts with Sloan's Liniment. You don't need to rub, just lay if on lightly. It penetrates instantly to the seat of the trouble, relieves conges tion and stops the pain. Here's the Proof. Mr. A.W. Price, Fredonia, Kans., says : "We have used Sloan's lini ment for a year, and find it an excel lent thing for sore throat, chest pains, colds, and hay fever attacks. A few drops taken on sugar stops cough, tag and sneezing instantly." Sloan's Liniment is easier to use than porous plasters, acts quicker and does not clog up the pores of the skin. It is an excellent an tiseptic remedy for . asthma, bronchitis, and all inflammatory disease of the throat and chest; - will break up the deadly membrane in an attack of croup, and will kill any kind of neuralgia or rheu matic pains.

' the World Took On a Rosy Hue. "Every man should have a hobby," said the fat man. "Now, mine's sui cide." The thin man nearly swallowed his cigarette. 'Suicide? You? Well, of all the freaks I ever heard of!" 'Certainly," continued the fat one, placidly, as he munched his chicken croquette. "That is what makes me so happy and take so cheerful a view of life. You have no idea what a comfort it is to me. I used to be thin, you know, like you, and could never eat chicken croquettes or souerkraut and frankfurters they gave me a fearful indigestion. That was because I was always worrying about some thing. Then all of a sudden, this idea occurred to me about suicide. I de cided to commit it. I forget now whether it was a business trouble or a girl I think it was a girl. I asked a medical student friend of mine what was the surest and neatest way to croak and he said 'cyanide of po tassium.' I asked him would be give me a little hunk and he promised to steal it out of the laboratory first chance he got. "Now, you may not believe it, but just as soon as I had that piece of white crystal in my pocket, I began to be a different man.- Instead of taking it that night, as I had intend ed to, I Just wrapped It up in a piece of tissue paper and put It in my pock et to use next day. I wrote a parting letter to the girl yes, I'm sure now it was a girl and decided to have one good night's rest, anyway. Well, the next morning it was a beautiful, sunshiny day and everything looked kind of different. My mood had changed and I decided to wait a little wh",e and see if anything came of the letter. Nothing at all happened and then I found I'd forgotten to mail it, so I let it go. Things kind of straight ened themselves out and I was real glad I hadn't wasted the cyatfide. "I hadn't carried the thing around with me more than two weeks before I began to get fat. You see, nothing bothered me. Whenever I felt real down and out all I had to do was make up my mind to swallow the crystal and I'd take it out of my pocket and have a look at it and put it back again till to-morrow. It was the open door to freedom the escape. It made me independent of every thing and everybody. It's really a marvel for chirking a fellow up." The thin man laid down his knife and fork. "Well, I'll be Say! Have you got it with you now?" "Sure! I may use it to-night if this deal with Skrubbs doesn't go through Here it Is." And he held out in his hand a nice little piece of washing soda. "My friend the medical stu dent," he added hastily, replacing the crystal in his pocket, "told me to be awfully careful and not show it to any one." "I don't wonder," said the thin man without a smile. "It might cost him his reputation as a chemist." , Napoleon and the Canal. The steadily increasing estimates as to the final cost of the Panama canal serves to keep that projected waterway very much in the public, eye. But probably very few know that if an ambition which had been, cherished by the late Emperor Napo leon III. had ever reached fruition there probably would never have been any attempt to cut a canal across the Panama Isthmus. It was after Prussia had defeated France that Napoleon conceived the project of opening a canal through the Nicaraguan route. It seems that the Idea first occurred to Napoleon while' he was a prisoner in the fortress of. Ham. At that period he filled bis time with schemes for great under takings, and to a friendly navy offi cer who visited him la his cell he re vealed his plan for a Nicaragua canal. On reaching England after his release he printed his plans, calcula tions, and surveys, together, with a. map, which eventually came into thej possession or a Mr. Haynes of Man Chester street, Manchester square. Jerrold's "Life of Napoleon" makes brief reference to this ambition of Na poleon, and says that political events put a stop to the enterprise. At the Milliner's. An Atchison woman who has a sin cere desire to the economical, says the Kansas City Journal, took a blue feather, some velvet, and a rose to a milliner, asking the milliner to fur nish the shape and trim it. The woman was proud of the feather, the velvet, and the rose, as they were as good as new, but the milliner cast just one glance at them, and then the worn an began to apologize. "Apologies are not necessary," said the milliner icily. "You surely don't expect me to use anything like that!" And the worn an didn't. Another woman said to her milliner, bravely: "I want a hat that doesn't cost a cent over five dol lars." "W-h-a-t!" screamed the mil liner. "I mean," stammered the worn an," "that doesn't cost over $15." "Oh well, that's better," said the milliner, Louder Yet. Murray Hill You know, money talks. I , Cherry Hill Yes, but poverty uses a phonograph. THANKSGIVING DAY I Canada's Day of Thanks a .Month Ear lier Than In the United States. For some reason better known to the Canadians themselves than to the people on this side of the line, our Canadian cousins celebrated their. Thanksgiving a month or more earlier than we do. It may be that the Cana dian turkey had become impatient, and sounded a note of warning, or it may be that the "frost on the pumpkin" de clared itself. But whatever the reason, their Thanksgiving day is past. It may have been that the reasons for giving thanks so much earlier than we do were pushing themselves so hard and so - fast that the Canadians were ashamed to postpone the event. They have had reasons, and good ones, too, tor giving thanks. Their great broad areas of prairie land have yielded in abundance, and here, by the way, it is not uninteresting to the friends of the millions of Americans who have made their home in Canada during the past few years to know that they have participated most generously in the 'cutting of the melon." Probably the western portion of Canada, comprising the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche wan and Alberta, have the greatest reason of any of the provinces to ex press in the most enthusiastic manner their gratitude. The results in the line of production give ample reason tor devout thanksgiving to Providence. This year has surpassed all others in so far as the total increase in the coun try's wealth is concerned. There is no question that Providence was espe cially generous. The weather condi, tlons were perfect, and during the ripening and harvesting period, there was nothing to Interfere. And now it was well it was so, for with a demand for labor that could not be supplied, there was the greatest danger, hut with suitable weather the garnering of the grain has been successfully accom plished. There have been low gen eral averages, but these are account ed for by the fact that farmers were indifferent, relying altogether upon what a good soil would do. There will be no more low averages though, for this year has shown what good, careful farming will do. It will pro duce 130 million bushels of wheat from seven million acres, and it will pro duce a splendid lot of oats, yielding anywhere from 60 to 100 bushels per acre. This on land that has cost but from $10 to $16 per acre many farm ers have realized sufficient from this year's crop to pay the entire cost of their farms. The Toronto Globe says: "The whole population of the West rejoices in the bounty of Providence, and sends out a message of gratitude and appreciation of the favors which have been bestowed on the country. The cheerfulness which has abounded with industry during the past six months has not obliterated the concep tion of the source from which . the blessings have flown, and the good feeling Is combined with a spirit of thankfulness for the privilege of living in so fruitful a land. The misfortunes of the past are practically forgotten, because there is great cause to con template with satisfaction the com forts of the present. Thanksgiving should be a season of unusual en thusiasm." THE "NEW" NOVEL "Have you .read my last book, Mr. Goodchild?" "Well, no er to tell the truth, mv motner won t allow me to.
