The gums and resins obtained from pine trees have long been recognized as highly peneficial in the treatment of backache, kidney and bladder troubles.

Reynolds, Cumberland, Tuesday even- ing, the Journal met Hon. N. G. Keim, of Elkins, W. Va., a leading candidate for the Republican nomination for Con- gress in the Second West Virginia dis- trict.

A dose of Pine-ules at bed time will usually relieve backache, before morn- ing. These beautiful little globules are soft gelatine coated, and when moisten- keep from swallowing them.

Sam Jones, the noted Georgia revivalist preacher, is at all times, to say the least, forceful in his language, Above all things he objects to a pre- tense of supersaintliness, his religion being something on the “shirt-sleeves” order. On one occasion he had taken for his text, “Vanity,” and, to point his moral, said : “Now, if there is a woman in the congregation this morning who didn’t look into the mirror before coming to the meeting, I want to see her; I want her to stand up!” A single woman arose and stood with meekly downcast eyes. To describe her in a kindly way one would say “homely.” The Reverend Jones rested his earnest eyes upon her. “Well, God bless you, sister,” he said. “It certainly is a pity that you didn’t.” —Ex. A BAD BURN. For a painful burn there is nothing like DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. There are a host of imitations of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve on the market—see that you get the genuine. Ask for De- Witt’s. Good, too, for sunburn, cuts, bruises, and especially recommended for piles. The name E., C. DeWitt & Co., Chicago, is on every box. Sold by E. H. Miller. 6-1 A LAZY LIVER. A torpid, inactive liver can produce more bodily ills than almost any thing else. Itis good to clean the system out occasionally. Stir the liver up, and get into shape generally. The best re- sults are derived from the use of De- Witt’s Little Early Rirers. Reliable, effective, pleasant pills with a reputa- tion. Never gripe. Sold by E. H. Mil- ler. 6-1 BITUMINOUS Y. M. C. A. PLANS CAMPAIGN. Big Convention of the Department will be held next September at Windber. The Bituminous Department of the State Y. M. C. A. was organized a little over three years ago, with headquar- ters in Greensburg, and through the aggressive policy of the Department Committee, twenty-five associations have been organized and placed on a working basis at different mining towns over the region, with rooms or build- ings equipped, and the many helpful and uplifting features of Young Men’s Christian Association effort in full operation. Ten of these associations employ gen- eral secretaries. Bituminous Department Secretary C. L. Fay has just completed arrange- ments for a Bituminous Department Conference, to be held at Windber, September 13th and 14th. This Con- ference will include delegates and sec- retaries from the twenty-five associa- tions ; and the Conference will be led by some of those most expert in asso- ciation work in this country, including such men as C. C. Michener, New York City, and F. A. Crosby and H. T. Wil- liams, of Harrisburg. This Conference will precede the fall and winter cam- paign, and will mark an advanced step in the policy of the Bituminous De- partment Associations. re A GOOD COMPLEXION. A good complexion is impossible with the stomach out of order. If pasty, sallow people would pay more at- tention to their stomachs and less to the skin on their faces, they would have better complexions. KODOL FOR DYSPEPSIA will digest what you eat and put your stomach back in right shape to do its own work. Kodol res lieves palpitation of the heart, flatu- lence, sour stomach, heart burn, ete.
