Magic Color Pictures.
A glass of water and a sponge or
brush act like a box of paints on the
wonderful "Watergraphs," wbieh will
appear in next Sunday's Philadelphia
Press. It's the cleverest novelty of the
year. The pictures are printed appar
ently in black ink. You touch them
with water, and in a second they be
come beautiful water color paintings.
No skill is needed- Children can do it
ae well as grown folks. These "Water
graphs" are in addition to the myster
ious magic pictures, which you rub over
a blank space with a coin and a picture
appears.
The great puzzle-man, Sam Loyd, is
now on The Sunday Press staff of en
tertainers. He has a page each Sunday
that will set you thinking and amuse
you, too. Order next Sunday's Phila
delphia Press of your newsdealer in
advance. Then you'll be sure to get it.

"I liavj been afflicted with sciatic rheu
matism for fourteen years," savs Josh
Kduar, of Gerniantown, Cal. "I was nble

tried everything I could hear of and at
last was told to try Chamberlain's Pain
Balm, which I did and was immediately
relieved and in a short time cured, and I
am happy to say it has not since return

Reveals a Great Secret.
It is often asked how such startling
cures, that puzzle the best physicians,
are effected by Dr. Kings New Discover}'
for Consumption. Here's the secret. It
cuts out the phlegm ;md germ infected
mucus, and lets the life-giving oxygen
enrich and vitalize the blood. It heals
the inflamed, cough worn throat and
lungs. Hard colds and stubborn coughs
soon yield to Dr. King's New Discovery,
the most infallible remedy for all Throat
and Lung diseases. Guaranteed bottles
50c and 81.00. Trial bottles free at L.
Taggart's.

Like a Drowning Man.
"Five years ago a disease the doctors
called dyspepsia look such hold of me
that I could scarcely go," writes Geo. S.
Marsh, well-known attorney of Nocoua,
Tex. "I took quantities of pepsin and
other medicines hut nothing helped me.
As a drowning man grabs at a straw I
grabbed at Kodol. I felt an improvement
at once and after a few bottles am sound
and well." Kodol is the only preparation
which exactly reproduces the natural
digestive juices and consequently is the
only one which digests any good food
and cures any form of stomach trouble.

DOUBLED THF. COLLECTION
A Hellenic For In ere tut*
itiK tix l Cfmreli Contribution.
In a small town in England there is n
rich congregation which is not charac
terized by Hvish liberality. Time after
time the minister had vainly appealed
to Ills peoji'i' to contribute more gener
ously to the funds of the church. The
members w u!d indeed give something,
but it was nearly always the smallest
silver coin of the realm that was plac
ed on the plate. A shrewd Scotchman
who had recently come to the place and
joined the church was not long in no
ticing this state of affairs, and a reme
dy soon suggested itself to his practical
mind.
"I'll toll you what." he said to one of
the officials, "if you rnak' me treasurer
I'll engage to double the collection in
three months."
Ills offer was pr imptly accepted, and,
sure enough, the collections began to
increase until by the time he had stat
ed they were nearly twice as much as
formerly.
"How hi'.ve you managed it, Mr.
J SandymanV" said the pastor to him one
day.
"It's a great secret," returned the
canny Scot, "but I'll tell you in confi
dence. The folk, I saw. mostly gave
i threepenny bits. Wee I. when I got the
| money every Sabbath morning I care
j fully picked oot the sma' coins and put
1 them by. Noo, as there's a limited
I number of threepenny pieces in a l'tlle
j place like this and as I have niaist o'
them at present under lock and key. the
j folk maun give saxpences at least in
stead. Sae that's the way the collec
i tions are doubled."—Pearson's.
For Those Who JLive on Farms.
Dr. Bergin, Pana,llls., writes: "I have
used Ballard's Snow Liniment; always
recommend it to iuj friends, as I am
confident there is no better made. It is a
dandy for burns." Th >.-v who live on
farms are especially liable to many ae-.
cidental cuts, burns anil bruises, which
heal rapidly when Ballard's Snow Lini
ment is applied. It should always be
kept in the house lor cases of emergency.
