A sense of humor may be a safeguard

Fruit is a rare complexion beautifier

Have you noticed in the new brie-a-

The reason so many women are un-

that they do not realize just what type

Strange as it may seem, the tailor-

It is very lovely to feel that you are

don’t you always imagine you look like
a rag bag when you come forth from
tailor or modiste aftera fitting?
You may think you are not vain, but
you can’t help thrilling just a little bit
when the modiste who takes your
measure declares your figure to be all

GOT $2,000 FOR DRIVING HIS WAGON
And'Was Taught That, Work Combined
With Good Sense Brought Its Reward.
A few years ago a well-to-do but ex-
travagant farmer living out on the
Russell Cave pike, went to Mr. Hart
Boswell, and asked him to see his
brother Dave of the Northern Bank
and tell him that he wanted to borrow
$2,000, and tell him that it would be
all 0. K., &c. Mr. B. told him that
ho would not do it, but gave him the
following tip: “I see you or your wife
calling negroes out of the field two 01
three times a day to hitch your rigs up
to go to Lexington, and I see you stop
hands from their field work to drive a
tad of corn to market. You stop all
this foolishness and drive the wagon
of corn yourself, then go to the bank
and ask for what you want.” The
man went according to directions, and
after he had sold his corn he went to
the bank and asked for the $2,000. Mr.
R. T. Anderson, one of the directors
was present and without asking any
questions, said: “Any man who drives
his own wagon can borrow all the
noney he wants at the Northern bank.”
This little transaction changed this
man‘s condition in life, and he was no
onger a money borrower.-——Lexington

Alphabet on the Head of a Pin.
Frank J. MollenHauer is perhaps the
most expert engraver in New York, if
not in the world. In delicacy of touch
and skill in handling delicate instru-
ments his work is something marvel-s
lcus. His latest achievement was to
engrave the twenty-six letter of the
alphabet on the head of a pin. Under.
a magnifying glass the letters are clear
and distinct, and each is as perfect as
any ever engraved for a visiting card
or wedding invi-tation...;But with the
naked eye the minute letters are mere-
ly scratches which have no discernable .
form.
How TO nun ou-T.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and _let it stand twenty-four
hours; a secument or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys ‘
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT 1‘0 D0.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
elfect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail. Mention THE GAZETTE,
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, N. Y. The pro-
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this affair.
