E. S. LING, Principal. Thirteen Lucky. The year 1903 is known to the sup erstitious as a "Thirteen" year. Its numerals added together make thir teen. Lieutenant C. A. L. Totten, form erly military instructor at Yale, and who attracted some attention a few years ago by his prophecies in regard to the end of the world in answer to the query of 1903 would prove an unlucky year replied: "What is the matter with either Friday or the number thirteen ? As to America, it bears thirteen all over its heraldry, and Friday has been its chief day (discovery of America, Dec laration of Independence, etc.) We have thirteen letters in E Pluribus Unum, the motto on our great seal. We hava thirteen, thirteen times re peated, on that seal. Take out a new silver quarter, if you have one left, and count the thirteens, even of Its obverse face. Manassab was the thirteenth tribe in Isreal and we are the people." If there is anything attached to thir teen, Americans at least are justified in believing it a lucky number.

Stolen thunder will not bring showers of blessing. A Weak Stomach Causes a weak body and invites disease, Kodol Dyspepsia Cure cures and strength ens the stomach, and wards off and over comes disease. J. 15. Taylor, a prominent merchant of Chiiesmari, Tex., says: '•! could not eat because of a weak stomach, I lost all strength and rundown in weight. Al. that money could do was done, but all hope of recovery vanished. Hearing of some wonderful cures effected by use of Kodol I concluded to try it. The first bottle benefitted mc, and after takinsr four bottles I am fully restored to my usual strength, weight and health." R. C. Dodson. A silent idiot is wiser than a babbling simpleton. One Minute Cough Cure gives relief in one minute, because it kills the microbe which tickles the mucous membrane, causing the cough, and at the same time clears the phlegm, draws out the inflam mation and heals and soothes the affected parts. One Minute Cough Uuie strength ens the lungs, wards off pneumonia and is a harmless and never failing cure. In all curable cases of Coughs, Colds and Croup, One Minute Cough Cure is pleasant to take, harmless and good alike for young and old. R. C. Dodson.
