Bathing an Elephant. The elephant's bath takes a week to carry out in detail; it requires the services of three inen, and it costs $ 'OO, the Philadelphia Record says. This treatment is necessary for a circus elephant, and if the animal is a valuable one the proprietor of the circus does not consider the money wasted. The first process consists ingoing over fhe immense body with the best soap procurable—lso pounds of soap are used—and the elephant's ears are especially care fully attended to. When the soap ing and drying are completed the elephant is well sandpapered and after that rubbed nil over with the purest Indian oil until the mouse gray skin is supple and glistening. This last finishing touch is the most expensive part of the whole bath, as $l5O has 1.0 be spent on the oi! alone. F. C. JONES OF PITTSu'tTiG, . Builder of Forbes Besc'jai?

A family can suffer no greater affliction than to have a child sub ject to fits or epilepsy. Many a father or mother would give their all to restore such a child to health "I am heartily glad to tell you of our little boy who was completely cured of fits. He commenced hav ing them at 10 years of age and had them for four years. 1 tried three doctors and one specialist but all of them said he could not be cured, but Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills made a comptete cure. He is now hale, hearty and gay. It has been three years since he had the last spell. I shall give Dr. Miles' medicines praise wherever 1 go. You are at liberty to use this tetter as you see fit ana anyone writing to me I will gladly answer if they enclose stamp for reply." F. M. BOGUE, Windfall, Ind. Dr. Miles' Nervine is just what it is represented to he, a medicine compounded especially for nervous diseases, such as fits, spasms, St. Vitus' dance, convul sions and epilepsy.

Helsman, the Re publican nominee for County Treas urer is a good type of the thrifty German citizens of our County, who have done ho much to aid its growth and developement. Mr. Helsman was born in Scran ton fifty-five years ago. Nearly forty years of his life he has re sided in Sullivan County and most of the time at Bern ice. At present he is proprietor of the "Helsman House", one of the best hotels in this section, lie began work for himself in the mines when a boy of eleven years and tile success he h:is achieved is the result of his own effort and industry. As breaker boy and later as miner and "barn boss" lie discharged every duty and was always a trusted em ployee. Mr. Helsman has been called to lill the office of school director, tax collector and town ship treasurer of Cherry township. In every instance he has discharged the office with credit to himself and the satisfaction of his constitu ents . He is regarded as one of the substantial, public-sprited citizens of the community in which lie re sides and his friens are legion. Mr. Helsman was not opposed for the nomination. This fact shows clearly that he is regarded as entirely worthy and competent. The office of Countv Treasurer requires a man of honesty and business ability. Mr. Helsman possesses both of these qualifi cations and if elected will give a clean, business-like adininstrntion. A stone crusher is engaged in crushing stone near Hotel Bernard.
