: i CEDARTOWN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 5, 1900. NUMBER 11. Her Only Regret Mrs. Peabody Had Passed Through the Most Trying Experience of Her Life Before She Found a Remedy for All Woman’s Ills. Nobody who sees Mrs. Mary M. Peabody, of 42 Water Street, Haverhill, Mass., to-day will find it easy to believe that she has passed her 63d year and has en dured more sabering Ilian comes to the ordinary lot of women.' IIow she regained health and happiness is best told in her own words. She says: Jffirji Mary M. Peabody. ‘-Last winter and spring I had the grip which left my system all ran down, l also suffered from female weakness and troubles peculiar to women. I had no strength and no ambition. My friends did not think that 1 would live and 1 was afraid that I was going into consumption. “1 recalled the benefit that Dr.Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People had done me in a former illness, and last July I began taking them. They did not disappoint me. I used several boxes of them and from a total wreck I was made a healthy woman. My only regret is that I did not know of Dr.Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People when 1 had the change of life. I am now enjoying the best of health, eat heartily and sleep soundly—all due to Dr.Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. “There are many facts about my case thht I do not care to have published but I will gladly answer any woman who cares to write me about the subject.” Maby M. Peabody. Subscribed and sworn to before me this first day of September, 1899. Thomas W. Quinsy, Justice o/t'ie Peace.

Scientists with the government in Washington assert that American men are bulging in the middle because they eat wheat-mid oats in one form or an other. Men with large stomachs are frequently proud of the distinction. Often they stand with their hands on their hips and their coat tails pushed back. The side elevation may be star tling to the beholder or may be enter taining or may engender covetousness. It all depends upon the point of view. But stomachs are largely a matter of food and drink. If you want flesh about the hips and abdomen eat sugar and starch—wheat, oats, fresh bread, cake. pie. preserves, candy, ice cream, potatoes, heavy soups, fat- meat. nuts, butter, cream, oyster pat lies, goose livers, beaus and bananas. If you are already too large, diet, diet, diet, and then begin* all over again. Crucify your appetite; go into a strait jacket; array yourself iu sackcloth and ashes. Live on lean meat, eggs, fish and raw cabbage. Drink hot water. Walk live miles be fore dinner. Starve In the laud of plenty. Become irritable. Watch the hungry and fierce look grown into your face. Co to the scales every day. Dream of banquets. In three mouths your clothing will not fit you. Oh, it’s great fun for the tailor and the doctor. —Cleveland Leader. An Insect Tragedy. There is something really pathetic In the way a mother butterfly builds a nest for her children. In the first place, the little home where the eggs are deposited represents a great deal of sacrifice, for it is lined with several layers of down plucked from the moth er’s own soft body. The eggs having "been laid carefully upon this luxurious, * pretty couch are protected by an equal ly pretty coverlet made of the same material. These .butterfly bedclothes are often arranged with an intricacy that is quite curious and perplexing. Some times a bed is made so that each sep arate delicate hair stands upright, thus* g.vlng the entire nest the appearance of a little brush of do why .fur. Then again, the eggs are laid spirally round a tiny branch, and. as the covering follows their course, the effect resem bles the busy tail of a fox. only the nest is more beautiful than the “brush” of the finest fox that ever roamed over country. The building of this downy nest is the latest earthly labor of the mother butterfly, for by the time it is com pleted her own delicate body is denud ed of its natural coveriQg.: and there is nothing left for her .to do but die, a sacrifice which she promptly aud heroically makes in the interest of the coming butterfly generation. His Modest Luncheons. “The ordering of my luncheon used to be a great nuisance.” said a lawyer yesterday. **I would go into a cafe, perhaps pretty hungry, but two or tree minutes' study of the huge menu ’would put me in an uncertain, irrita ble mood, and uo-matter what I’d older I wouldn’t enjoy it on account of the thought that I might have ordered something different and better. It was like going into a public library to read. With so many books there, it is im possible to sit down and read one book contentedly, as you can at home. But now I have au arrangement that makes my luncheon a jo.v. I said to my wait er one daj r : “ • What 1 eat here at noon costs me, ai the average. $1.23. and my average tip to you is 20 cents. Now you ought to know what a nice luncheon is better thau I do. so I make you this proposal: Serve me every day a lunch of my usual number of courses, and whatever under $1.25 it costs you can keep.’ .“The waiter jumped at that He brings me every day now a better meal than I would think of ordering myself, and he makes from 20 to 30 cents by keeping down the price. It is a splen did scheme, and I wonder why I never thought of it before.”—Philadelphia Record. They Don’t Know Nerve*. Those who know the Chinese best have been particularly struck with their absence of nerves. The foreigner fidgets, the native sits still; balmy sleep, especially in hot weather, will resist the foreigner’s sweetest wooing, while to the native lying, on a heap of stones or across the bars of a wheel barrow she comes as a matter of course; we need constant change and variety, they would find contentment and rest on the treadmilL “It would be easy,” says Mr. Smith, “to raise in China an army of 1,000,000 men—nay, 10,000,000—tested by com petitive examination as to their capaci ty to go to sleep across three wheel barrows, with heads downward, like a spider, their mouths wide open and a fly inside!" •. From which it is evident, says The North China Herald, that in a crusade against noise we can hope for no as sistance from onr native fellow towns men. but instead a great amount of vis inertiae. if not positive opposition.

A certificate must be secured from tbe lord chamberlain. Tbe lord chamberlain himself does noL of course, read all tbe plays submitted to him, but the work is passed on to the examiner of plays, who is not always a man of education or discretion and who in many eases has been suspected of letting things pass, because man agers have made it profitable to him to close bis eyes to supposed faults. The story Is told of one of these ex aminers who was moved to strike out “drunk as a lord* in one of the plays submitted to him. There used to be an old rule that the word “heaven” should be substituted In stage lines wherever tbe name of any of the per sons of tbe Trinity came up. So this clever examiner changed tbe line to read “as drunk as a heaven.” The penalty for disobeying the ex aminer is a fine of $250, which may be levied on any pel-son connected with the forbidden performance—callboy as well as star.

Strychnine and Arsenic Are Clumsy Agents or Dentil, ns Their Traces Remain In the Victim Indefinitely. Poisons In Novels and Plays. “A recent newspaper article.” said a physician, “called attention to two curious facts, or rather.* alleged facts, about poison. First, that it is so sel dom resorted to by jnurderers. and. second, that its use is almost invaria bly followed by detection. One might answer both statements with the ques tion: How do we know? How do we know that the few clumsy eases that come to light represent the sum of that kind of crime? “It is undeniably true that there are certain drugs which, if administered with skill, would be almost impossible to detect Their symptoms are practi cally identical with those of familiar diseases, and a little while after death they decompose, change form and dis appear. “It would be possible, too, to innocu- late a victim with the germs of some deadly malady. He would then go to his grave with a real ease of consump tion or pneumonia or lockjaw, and there would be nothing to arouse the shadow of suspicion. I believe firmly that such crimes are committed and never discovered, hut 1 believe also that they are very rare. The real safe guard of a community lies In the fact that so few murderers possess the req uisite skill. “Educated people seldom commit de liberate murder,” continued the doctor, “and the uneducated mind instinctive ly associates poison with two sub stances—arsenic and strychnine. They are the deadly drugs most familiar to the public, and fortunately they are easily detected. Murder by arsenic is infinitely clumsy. To begin with, the symptoms are marked and peculiar; being a metallic product, its traces re main in the body an Indefinite time. “Last summer a woman in Barce lona. Spain, confessed that she had poisoned her sister with arsenic 15 years before. The grave was opened and the coffin found to contain nothing but dust and ashes, but a chemical test showed unmistakably the presence of the drug. “Mrs. Maybriek was accused of kill ing her husband with arsenic, and the test revealed It plainly not only in the remains, but In certain medicines. The demonstration was so conclusive that she finally arose In court and admitted giving hint a ‘white powder,’ but insist ed that she followed bis own express directions. “One of the most ingenious cases of poisoning -I ever heard of occurred some years ago in another state. A young physician plotted to kill a wealthy farmer. He knew the latter was taking quinine for a cold and. meeting him one day. asked to see what size capsules he used. While pretending to examine them, lie slip ped in one containing strychnine. The farmer happened on it nearly a week later and died iu convulsions. An au topsy revealed the poison, hut the af fair was a deep mystery until the doc tor committed suicide, leaving a writ ten confession. “Tlie poisonings that occur in novels and on the stage are usually very amusing to a student of toxicology,” said tlie physician in conclusion. “I remember in ’Sam'1 of Posen.’ which was produced with such sueeess by M. B. Curtis, the drummer hero was tem porarily knocked out by a poisoned ci gar. He took two or three whiffs, and over lie rolled. I would like very much to know tlie uiiine of tlie drug that would produce that sort of effect. “Nearly nil tlie pnisouiug iu fiction is equally surprising. There is a well known English romance in which the heroine inhales the fragrance of a bunch of roses and instantly falls dead. Needless to say. the poisoned perfume is wholly unknown to science. “Another story— But I could keep on citing iustauces nil night. History isn’t much better. Most of the yarns of the Borgias ami Meilicis arc pure moonshine. espi*cially those about poi soned gloves, poisoned tapers and oth er applications of drugs or things that arc touched or bundled. “The tale of tlie book which was anointed on tlie margins with some deadly substance that killed tlie per son who moistened his lingers to turn the leaves has possibly a foundation in truth; but. I confess. I would he puz zled to know how to prepare such a volume. Almost anything that might be used would instantly betray itself by Its taste. “In the-middle ages powdered glass is said to have been a favorite material with which to ’doctor' food, and you'll find some interesting data on tlie sub ject in tlie autobiography of Cellini! the goldsmith. . It is occasionally used by negroes rigid here in tlie south. Of course, powdered glass Isn't a true poison. It sometimes kills by setting up internal inflammation. Oftener it lias no effect at all.” — New Orleans Timcs-DemocraL A Don Story. Animals have sentiment, and they do reason. Lord Sandwich had two intel ligent. companionable little white dogs.

A certain young railroad man who- has charge of a department in the auditing branch of his company's bus!-’ ness had occasion recently to dictate a letter to the head of- a corresponding department of another road. There was a point In dispute between the two railroads involving money, and tills young official had taken a stub born grouud that the other official was totally at -fault and advanced what seemed to him unanswerable argu ments to prove it. A short time after he had forwarded the letter he. received- a proposition from headquarters of the other rail road, which he accepted, and within a few days he became the head of the department with which he had been In dispute. The first letter which he found on file ready to he answered was his own on the' point in question. There was only one thing to do. He Immediately dictated an answer to his own letter, refuting and repudiating its argument, and wound up by a heat ed insinuation that the writer of it was an .unmitigated donkey. Of course, the letter was addressed to himself, hut in his enthusiasm for the interests of his new employer he did not mind a little thing like that.—Chicago News. He Wn* Too Smart.

This pepper is half peas.” “What is that you say?” asked the landbuly from the next table. “Speak a little loader, please.” He reiterated his remark. “That isn't true.” retorted the land lady hotly. “I do not use adulterated goods on my table.” “My dear madam,” said the bland joker, “there are always a lot of p’s in pepper.” There was an impressive pause, then the landlady said in a crushing voice: “Oh. yes. just as you always furnish part of tlie dessert” “I don’t understand.” “The chestnuts.”—London Standard.

Mrs. Smith Wooldridge, of this place, who was so afflicted with her throat for over two years that J she could not speak above a whis- j per, after she used the first bot tle of Dr. Bell’s Pine-Tar- Honey, ‘could talk as well as ever, and the case is such 1 wonderful cure that her neighbors come in to see her for themselves, and are astonished to hear her talk.— D. Wilson & Son, Druggists, Kimble. -Ry. a Hon. Jerry M. Porter. I write this letter because I believe you have made a dis covery in a cough, cold, throat and lung remedy that the peo ple ought to have. I refer to Dr. Bell’s Pine-Tar-Honey. I have thoroughly tested it and know its merits. It cures. Any one who ever needs a remedy of this kind should never be without Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar-Honey. Jerry M Porter, Clinton, Ky. Q/f?£ DR. WARannrG z BELL’S PI NE-TAR-HON EY . scientific prescription, carefully prepared from the purest and best ingredients, consequently the most costly cough medicine on the market. In buying “ Dr. BELL’S PINE-TAR-HONEY you get as big a bottle and more doses for 25 cents than you do ot any other, but the druggist’s profit is less. Therefore some druggists are cunningly persuading their customers to buy that which to them means greater profit. DON’T YOU DO IT. DEMAND T)r. Bell's PlflE-TflR-flONEy and take no substitute.
