And right here we wish to add that many people have told us in person since we pub- lished the editorial referred to that they most heartily approve of every- thing it contained, and all men will welcome the day when women remove their headgear while in attendance at church.

Woodward removed the head and has shipped it to Dr. G. W. Tate, of Altoona, for examination. The head was of perfect proportions, the features being preserved to the minutest de- tails. Ears, nose, mouth, eyes, eye- brows, and even the lines of the face were plainly visible. The unusual color of the face was the only thing which detracted from its lifelike ap- pearance. The tree was cut near Lewis’ (the robber) cave. Itis suppos- ed the head belonged to one of the vic- tims of this noted outlaw. Lewis, the robber, committed many murders along the old Shippensburg road. Numerous expeditions were sent against him, but owing to his impreg- nable stronghold in South mountain, he always successfully resisted attack —Hyndman Bulletin. It’s a pleasure to tell our readers about a Cough Cure like Dr. Shoop’s. For years Dr. Shoop has fought against the use of Opium, Chloroform, or other unsafe ingredients commonly found in Cough remedies. has welcomed the Pure Food and Drug Law recently enacted, for he has work- ed along similar lines many years. For nearly 20 years Dr. Shoop’s Congh Cure containers have had a warning printed on them against Opium and other narcotic poisons. He has thus made it possible for mothers to protect their children by simply insisting on having Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure.

There are innumerable old channels threading back and forth through the forests of the lowlands, and whenever there is an overflow or a particular heavy freshet, the river ic quite liable to wander off down one of these old channels and leave some shipping point high and dry. The town of Delta used to be three miles below Vicksburg, but a cut-off changed things so it is now two miles above that point. Another little place, called Blue’s Point, was formerly located in Mississippi, but one spring when times were dull and the river needed a diversion, it changed its channel and transferred Blue’s Point over into Arkansas. If the big river had taken such a twist between Missouri and Illinois, before the war, it would have removed slaves from one state to another, and thus set them free. Nothing will releave Indigestion that is not a thorough digestant. Kodol di- gests what you eat and allows the stomach to rest—recuperate—grow strong again. KODOL is a solution of digestive acids and as nearly as possible approximates the digestive juices that are found in the stomach. KODOL takes the work of digestion off the di- gestive organs, and while performing this work itself does greatly assist the stomach to a thorough rest. In ad- dition the ingredients of KODOL are such as to make it a corrective of the highest efficiency, and by its action the stomach is restored to its normal ac- tivity and power. KODOIL is manu- factured in strict conformity with the National Pure Food and Drug Law. Sold by E. H. Miller. 3 Ignored by Grand Jury. Grand Jury has ignored the \.
