A WORD OF CAUTION.
The old saying that " .1 mail, who is
naked can't jnve away his shirt," is only
another way of saying that you can't
give what you haven't got. The man
can't give " free medical advice," or any
other kind of medical advice who hasn't
got a medical education and a certificate
to the fact, in the form of a diploma.
And in this particular a woman has no
more privilege than a man. She can't
give medical advice without medical edu
cation and medical knowledge.
The offer of free medical advice made
by I)r. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, N. Y., has-been imitated
by so many, who without any medical
qualifications claim to give "medical
advice" that a word of caution is neces
sarv.
Don't write for medical advice to any
one, man or woman, who is not a phy
sician. If they are physicians they will
take the title of physicians or doctors so
that you may recognize them. If they
don't claim that title it is because they
dare not, for fear of the law.
Do not forget that there is just as
much difference in doctors as in artists.
Every little town has its artist who draws
and paints. But these "artists" gener
ally' paint copies of the works of great
artists like Millet. There was only one
Millet.
There is only one Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, such as Dr. Pierce
presides over. Thousands of women
come or write to Dr. Pierce who have
found no help at the hands of doctors of
lesser skill and narrower experience.
Any sick or ailing woman, suffering
from the distressing forms of disease
peculiar to women, is invited to con
sult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. Such con
sultations are absolutely private. Each
letter is treated as a sacred confidence,
and each answer is sent in a plain en
velope, bearing 110 printing upon it.
In this way offensive questions and
repulsive examinations may be avoided.

TEACHING DOGS TRICKS.
One Timt Would He Amatlii If Tried
( ■>..■> Yoilrieir.
Although it Is by no means an un- |
common thing to see dogs throw sorti- j
erset after somerset in stage perform
ances. it is a somewhat remarkable
fact that few people know how such
animals can be taught such a difficult
feat.
Ask a friend how he thinks a dog can
be initiated Into the mysteries of som
erset throwing, and you will receive
some very curious suggestions.
As there is more *lian one way of
cooking a goose, so there Is more than
one method of teaching a dog to throw
somersets. But the most practical and
thorough manner is to fasten a cord
around the body of the animal, close to
the fore legs, and two people should
hold the ends of the cord on either side
of the unfortunate dog. A third party,
armed with a stout rope, takes a posi
tion immediately in front of the canine
acrobat aud. with a measured and
masterly stroke, flogs the floor at close
quarters to the dog's nose.
At each stroke of the rope the dog
springs backward, and that movement
is the trainer's golden opportunity. As
the dog springs backward the rope
passing under its l.ody is jerked up
ward. and. although the lirst few at
tempts may prove futile, the Somerset
Is acquired in course of lime. An intel
ligent dog soon sickens of this order of
things < 1 throws somersels without
the ass..- tauce of ropes
For the sake of your d«g In particu
lar and your patience and future wel
fare ill general, we do not commend
you to t.-a> aiug your dog to turn som
ersets. If. however, you thiuk there
is no harm in it. just get a few friends
to put you through the exercise and
sec how you like it. It will prove im
mensely amusing for your friends.—

Boils.
A boil is due to the action of a mi
crobe called a pus coccus. 1 his is al
most always present in the skin, but
does no harm while tlie system can
combat tin* necessary conditions of its
growth and multiplication.
Sufferers from boils are usually in
poor health. They are pale, pastj
looking, emaciated, with a poor appe
tite and bad digestion. I'eople say
their blood is too thin. Others, how
ever, may he in apparently perfect
health, yet hardly is one boil over be
fore another comes. Of these persons
It is said that their blood is too rich.
Both these popular terms are nearly
expressive of the true condition. In
the lirst case the tissues are not well
nourished and so cannot resist the mi
crobe. In the second case the tissues
are nourished, hut are poisoned by ex
cess of waste material in the blood,
caused by the taking of more food than
the body can properiy dispose of.—

Decline nad Fall of Corn Bread.
It seems to us that our own people
are not the great corn bread eaters
they useil to lie Batter or egg and
certain cakes are still in vogue, but
the honest aud homely corn pone, the
corn dodger and the hoecake are uot
as popular as they used to be. As for
the ash cake, the cooking of it has be
come a lost art almost.
We charge this change, in part at
least, to the introduction, even in most
country homes, of the modern cooking
stove and range. It takes a great big
open fireplace and a southern negress,
with a red bandanna on her head, to
make prime corn bread. Nor will any
tnea! but water ground meal serve the
best put-pose Steam power meal is

KISSING BUG FLEW AWAY.
I'ntui M;ule r. 'I brent. So DlNcreflon
Was the Better Part of Valor,
It was night, and the silvern rays of
the moon sifting through the woodbine
leases disclosed to the view of a close
observer an indistinct mass that might
be most anything, possibly a young
man and a young woman in a ham
mock on a piazza. It was a beautiful,
calm, serene night, when the leaves in
the trees barely rustled. Ever aud
anon, however, there came forth from
that blurry mass a sound that broke
the stillness. It was a peculiar, inde
scribable sound, similar to that emitted
when two sheets of stick fly paper are
hastily torn apart. Suddenly from a
second story window above came a
large, deep voice that was easily that
of the owner of the premises.
"For heaven's sake, Maud, what are
you doing down on the piazza?" was
the query which awoke the echoes of
the night and startled that same inert
mass into immediate action.
For a second all was once more still,
and then came a sweet, muffled voice
In reply, "I'm trying to catch one of
those kissing bugs, papa," it said.
"If the blamed tiling don't know
enough to go homo before this time of
night, it ought ti> lie caught Wait till
1 get n Hub, and I'll lie down and help
you," growled the same basso pro
fit ndo. and a sound of hurried move
ment floated down from above. In less
than" half a second a well developed
bug. with straw hat In hand and coat
tails flying behind, was doing a fast
Bpriut down the street, and another
valuable specimen was lost to science.

A WOMAN'S VETO.
Why a Certain Naval Appointment
Wax Sever Con Armed.
An incident which occurred during
the first Cleveland administration il
lustrates the good feeling existing be
tween the newspaper men and the
chief of the bureau of naval construc
tion. A certain correspondent, who
was on particularly intimate terms
with the chief, called at his office and
was received with unusual cordiality.
Calling the correspondent by his first
name, the chief said: "Look here,
Blank, I want you to do something for
me. Mr. 's appointment to a place
in this department, after being fought
through two congresses, has prevailed,
has been signed by Secretary \\ hituey
and only waits the signature of the
president. You, of all men in Wash
ington, can find out what action the
president will take, aud I think you
know a way to prevent the document
being signed."
The correspondent replied, "1 think 1
know a way." lie left the building and
went for Miss , who was at that
time doins Washington society for
the Associated Press. To her he told
the story and explained what he
wanted done.
■Miss obtained an audience with
Mrs. Cleveland and told what she
came for. Mrs. Cleveland went to the
president's desk and singled out a
paper with the remark. "There, I guess
that is the one you mean." She then
turned a corner of the document down
and left it.
In the course of his work the presi
dent came to the paper and then, in a
surprised tone, said to Secretary La
inout. "Dan. do you know anything
about this appointment?"
Mr. Larnout did not know anything
about it.
"Well." said the president. "Frances
has evidently turned this down for a
purpose. I guess it's all right." And the
official signature was not attached.—

Eccentric llulrac.
A correspondent of literature sends
an interesting anecdote of Balzac to
that journal: Leon (lozian used to re
late how he met Balzac one day on the
Boulevard des Capucines "dying with
hunger." The novelist insisted on tak
ing Oozian to a confectioner who sold
macaroni patties. Forgetting his hun
ger, Balzac plunged into au apprecia
tion of Cooper's "Lake Ontario" (new
ly appeared). Oozian noticed that the
shop attendant, an Knglish girl, had
heard him address Balzac by name and
was gazing at the author as though
fascinated. She was astounded pres
ently by the appetite of genius for
macaroni tpatties, which disappeared
by couples.
"How much do 1 owe you?" asked
Balzac.
"Nothing, M. Balzac," said the Eng
lish girl firmly.
Balzic was nonplused for a moment,
then he pushed his precious copy of
"Lake Ontario" into the girls hands,
saying, "I can never sufficiently regret,
madamoiselle. that I did not write that
boolz."

Two members of a well established
firm that does business in the whole

dialogue the other afternoon:
Junior Partner—Why didn't you give
that man a chance? We need another
clerk here, and I rather like his looks.
Senior Partner—l liked his looks, too,
but he's no good.
Junior Partner—How do you know
that?
Senior Partner—When a man who is
looking for a job comes to me and
says, "1 suppose you don't want to
hire any one, today, do you?" that's
enough. If lie -had anything in him,
he'd come right out and say what he
meant. If lie supposed we didn't want
to hire any one, why did he waste our
time and his by coming iu to bother
us?— Chicago Times-Herald.

A well known Chicago publisher,
speaking of scenes and incidents in
that city in the trying days after the
big tire, said: "The great fire was a
thing of the recent past and the down
town portion of the city a scene of the
greatest confusion. About 9 o'clock in
the evening, while on my way to my
home in the west division, I was ac
costed by a man of respectable appear
ance. who asked me to give him the
price of a lodging.
" 'l'm not a beggar,' said he, 'but
I'm in hard luck. A man told me that
some Masons were in session over this
way. If I could find them, I'd be all
right.'
" 'I happen to know a lodgeroom on
Canal street, where there is a meeting
tonight,' said I. 'Come along, I'll take
you there.'
"The place reached, I conducted him
up a long flight of stairs and knocked
at a door.
" 'l'm not a Mason,' said I to a man
who seemed to be ncting in the ca

one of your fraternity who seems to be

What kind of weather comes at this season of the year
-—we are liable to have blizzards, extreme cold and
sudden changes of temperature. Do you know that a
little good whiskey is the best medicine to fortify the
system against such changes? Ask Any Physician
and if he is honest he wili tell you that pure whiskey
is the best preventative against Colds, Chills and like
ailments.
Our Cabinet Rye Whiskey at $3.00 a gallon
is guaranteed to be absolutely pure and four years old.
There is no whiskey in the county for the same money
that can compare with it. We pay the expressage
tOO, and make no charge whatever for boxing and

to another is necessary, we prepay charges to point of
transfer.
Send us $3.00 for a sample gallon.
