about the letter "r". September
came, with an r and the weather
was so intolerably hot that nobody

Bloomsburg and other places their
fancy "cake walks", but Berwick it
is said comes to the front with

other selections plays the "couchee
cotichee" music. A traveling man
who had occasion to stay over night
in that town recently was an inter

grinder played the oriental selection
fifteen times and the dancers never
seemed to tire of it.

Fifteen cars were partially de
molished in a wreck on the Phila-
aeipnia k Keauing Kailway, at
Rupert, early Monday morning.
The precautionary method of send
ing a flagman' to signal the south
bound freight, known along the
line as the "flyer," was employed,
but the train was nearly three
hours late, and the engineer, trying
to make up some of the time, had
thrown open the throttle, which
made it impossible, after observing
the flagman, to stop in time to
avoid the clash. The engineer and
fireman escaped with their lives by
jumping. The cars were broken
and scattered about in chaotic fash
ion, the engine, too, being greatly
damaged. Both were freight trains.

Summer is declining, August is
now with us. The passing of this,
the most disagreeable usually of
the hot months, will mark the de
scending scale of attendance at the
resorts. The great throngs, after
a few weeks' bathing, boating,
camping and other outdoor recrea
tions, will be hurrying back, tanned
aud invigorated, to their various oc
cupations, from that of the counter
jumper to that of the bank cashier.
These are the people who go away
for well earned rest and who have
their "vacations." With the wealth
ier class, June, July and August,
are simply months of endurance,
and it is a question with them of
warding off physical discomfort
rather than pursuing pleasure.
Look at your tongue.
Is it coated?
Then you have a bad
taste in your mouth every
morning. Your appetite
is poor, and food dis
tresses you. You have
frequent headaches and
are often dizzy. Your
stomach is weak and
your bowels are always
constipated.
There's an old and re
liable cure:
4
Don't take a cathartic
dose and then stop. Bet
ter take a laxative dose
each night, just enough to
cause one good free move
ment the day following.
You feel better the
very next day. Your
appetite returns, your
dyspepsia is cured, your
headaches pass away,
your tongue clears up,
your liver acts well, and
your bowels no longer
give you trouble.
