opportunity to slip his hand into the
unoccupied end of the muff.

and I purpose to keep calm. Now, I'll
just give you ten minutes to let go of

A Remedy for Neuralgia or Pain in
the Nerves.
For neuralgia and sciatica Sloan's
Liniment has no equal. It has a pow
erfully 'sedative effect on the nerves
penetrates without rubbing and
gives immediate relief from pain
quickens the circulation of the blood
and gives a pleasant sensation of com
fort and warmth.
"For three years I suffered with
neuralgia in the head and jaws,"
writes J. P. Hubbard, of Marietta, S.
C, "and had almost decided to 'have
three of my teeth pulled, when a
friend recommended me to buy a 25
cent bottle of Sloan's Liniment. I did
so and experienced immediate relief,
and I kept on using it until the neu
ralgia was entirely cured. I will never
be without a bottle of Sloan's Lini
ment in my house again. I use it also
for insect bites and sore throat, and I
can cheerfully recommend it to any
one who suffers from any of the ills
I have mentioned."

OPENS GRAVE FOR A PICTURE.
Sorrowing Widow Had to Have Pic
ture by Which to Remember Hubby.
To be exhumed after he had been
buried for 20 days and told to sit up
and "look pleasant" was the tough
luck that befell a corpse out at Wood
lawn cemetery, New York, the other
day. Henry Brown, a train dispatcher
on the One Hundred and Twenty
ninth street elevated road, died De
cember G of rheumatic gout and was
buried decently and in order. Some
two weeks after the funeral it oc
curred to Mrs. Brown that she would
like a photograph of her husband,
having none that did him justice. Im
mediately she: petitioned the Bronx
health department for permission to
exhume Henry and snapshot him.
The health department was some
what dazed, but granted the request,
and so, with a photographer and an
undertaker, Mrs. Brown went to
Woodlawn and had the three weeks'
corpse dug up. Brown was taken
both profile and full face.
PANTRY CLEANED
A Way Some People Have.
A doctor said:
"Before marriage my wife observed
in summer and country homes, coming
in touch with families of varied means,
culture, tastes and discriminating ten
dencies, that the families using Pos
tum seemed to average better than
those using coffee.
"When we were married two years
ago, Postum was among our first order
of groceries. We also put in some cof
fee and tea for guests, but after both
had stood around the pantry about a
year untouched, they were thrown
away, and Postum used only.
"Up to the age of 28 I had been ac-
customed to drink coffee as a routine
nab,t and suffered constantly from in-
digestion and all its relative disorders.
Since using Postum all the old com
plaints have completely left me and I
sometimes wonder if I ever had them.''
