Free Trade. The reduction of internal revenue and the taking otf of revenue stamps from Pro prietary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefited the consumers,as well as relieving the burden of home manufacturers. Es pecially is this the case with Green’s Au gust Flower and Boschee’s German Syrup, as the reduotiou of thirty-six cents pur dozen, has been added to increase the size ■of the bottles containing these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in the 75 cents size. The August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the German Syrup for Cough and Lung trou bles, have perhaps, the largest sale of auy medicines in the world. The advantage of Increased size of the bottles will be greatly Appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in every town and village in civilized coun tries. Sample bottles for 10 cents remain the same size. octl'Z d&wl.v fluke n him;er of llim. A well-known lawyer of Galesville, Wis., ■was going down to his office. As he was passing the residence of Mrs. P , her little boy, about 18 months old, was run ning away across the street, ami his sister was after him to bring him back. The lawyer said to the girl, “ I’d lot him go: he is hardly worth tho bringing back.” The mother of the child, who bad not been seen, was standing near the door, and heard the remark: as quick as a flash she spoke to the girl and said : “Yes, you had better bring him back, as we intend to make a lawyer of him.” “Coi.sunlli.ion Cun Re (Tired.” Dr. J.

The Mutual Trust Fund Life Association has hauled down its flag. It was organized five years ago, W. J. Walker being president. For a time ev erything ran smoothly. Then hard luck struck the concern and continued to gain the ascendancy, until in the early part ot the present month the board ol directors held a meeting and decided that the busi ness of the association being unsatisfactory they had better suspend. A circular was prepared, addressed to the members of the fund who had paid m their assessments. About December 10 this circular was mailed to members outside of New York. Such members as are residents of the city are not yet aware of the intention to sus pend, as the directors decided it best to give them the benefit of a persoual explanation. —New York Herald. “BUlHU-PAIBA.” Quick, complete cure, all annoying Kid ney, Bladder and Urinary Diseases. $1 At druggists. “BOUGH ON HUE” P1M-8- Small granules, small dose, big results, pleasant in operation, don t disturb the stomach. 10c and 25c. “BOUGH ON 01BT.” Ask for “Rough on Dirt- A . washing powder found at last!
