That means that I have an rternul love cinch.” —Denver News. IHSSS (U /ionic- |fe You will never find our Doc tor out. He is here to give advice without charge to those who need him —to those who don’t, sometimes. He doesn’t always recommend the Ayer medicines, because the Ayer medicines are not “cure-alls.”' Perhaps if we tear a leaf from his correspondence it will i show you what we mean. Here is a letter which came lst March. “ Dear Dr. Ayer : I want your advice for my tittle boy He is getting very thin. He has no appe tite. He is fifteen years old. When hr. was four years old he had lung fever, but his health was good until two years ago. Since then he is failing fast. The doctors here say he has the bronchitis. lie spits all the time awful bad. The spits are big, thick, and white. Yours truly, Mrs. Margaret Murphy, March 30, 1900. Kinbrae, Minn.” And this is the way the Doc tor answered Mrs. Murphy : “Dear Madam: “We enclose our book on The Throat and Lungs, in which we trust you will find just the information you desire. “You should begin at once the use of this Cherry Pectoral for your son, giving it in moderate doses. Then procure some good preparation of cod-liver oil, as Scott’s Emulsion, and give him that, as well. Pay particular attention to his diet, giving him such nourishing foods as rare steak, lamb chops, good milk, eggs, etc. Above all, keep him out of doors all that the weather permits. There is nothing that will do him more good than plenty of fresh air. Let him live out of doors all that is possible. By carrying out these general suggestions we shall hope to hear soon that your son is improving in every way. Very truly yours, April 5, 1900. J. C. Ayer.” You see, it wasn’t only the Ayer medicines that we recom mended. The first idea of the Doctor was to cure that boy. The result is told in this letter: “ Dear Dr. Ayer : “My little boy has improved so much since I received your advice that I want to write and tell you how thankful 1 am. “When I first wrote you, on March 30, he only weighed 50 pounds, but now he weighs 82 pounds; and all this gain since the Bth of April, when I first began to follow your directions. “ Please let me thank you again for what you have done for my boy. July 17, 1900. Margaret Murphy.” Perhaps it was the cod liver oil; perhaps it was the Cherry Pectoral. Probably it was both. But, more than either, it was the good, sound advice the Doctor gave in the first place. We are here to serve you in just the same way, and we will tell you the medi cine for your case or tell you what medicines to avoid. Five out of ten of our cor respondents need a doctor ratner than a prepared medi cine, and we tell them so. If the doctors only knew it, we are working with them everv day. J. C.

Mention this l Thompson's Eye Wat CHAFFEE IS SILENT Cutting of Telegraph Wires By Chinese Is the Cause. A WAR RUMOR NEEDS CONFIRMATION Deport Staled That Russia, Germany and Japan Had Come Out With a Dec laration of Hostilities. A Washington special says: Up to Monday morning the war department had not received from General Chaffee the report requested of him a few days ago upon conditions in Pekin. In fact, several recent cablegrams of inquiry addressed to the general have not been answered. It may be found necessary to call on General Chaffee again for a full report for the guidance of the officials of this govetuinent. It is supposed that the uncertainty of communication between Pekin and Tien Tsin is responsible for General Chaffee’s silence. The wires have been cut between the capital and Tien Tsin, and it is probabis that the messages were sent by courier frem Tien Tsin. It is regarded ‘as very unfortiauate that there should be such difficulty of communication at this time. The de partment is depending in large meas ure upon General Chaffee for informa tion. It is not believed at the war depart ment that the two casualty lists,, one dated Tien Tsin, the 21st, and the other the 23d, were sent by General Chaffee in person. It is thought that his name was signed as- a matter of j form. A brief dispatch received Sunday from Che Foo conveying a rumor cur rent there that Germany and Japan nad joined in a declaration of war upon China is not taken seriously iu either official or diplomatic circles in Washington. From no official source has the war department learned of the departure of forty Americans from Pekin for Tien Tsin, as reported in a special dispatcb to a London newspaper. The war department also has taken up the matter of cable communication aud has asked the cable company to j see if ihe Chaffee messages can be straightened out, and also to ascertain if tho messages seat to General Chaf- ! fee can reach him, and if they cannot be delivered, why. It is, of course, recognized that the boxers are inter rupting the line constructed by the signal corps from Tieu Tsin to Pekin. At the same time, with commnnication by cable with Shanghai, thence over- 1 land to Che Foo by cable to Taku and a protected line to Tien Tsin, it is felt ; at the department that communications ! should be more expeditions. A dispatch received at the Japanese legation from the foreign office of j Japan conveys the latest and most au- \ theutic information of the situation iu and around Pekin. In a measure the , advices were of a disquieting nature, as they indicated that the Chinese had ( rallied their forces and were preparing for an attack upon the allies in Pekin. If it should prove that the allied forces were besieged in Pekiu it would account for the lack of advices from General Chaffee. MU IST RETURN TO POSTS. American Consuls In China Are Ordered Back to Work. The state department is taking steps to have all of the American consuls in China return to their several posts as soon as immediate danger from anti foreign outbreaks is passed. The attention of tho department has been called to statements emanating from various consuls to the effect that they left their posts at the direction of the department. The officials say this is not correct: that the consuls merely were permitted by the department to leave their posts on their own respon sibility if they considered their lives were in danger.

ROSCOWER, Goldsboro, N.C. Legend of the Moon. A widespread legend of great an tiquity informs us that the moon is inhabited by a man with a bundle of sticks ou his back, who had been ex iled there many centuries, and is so far off that he is beyond the reach of death. This tradition,which has given rise to so many superstitions, is still preserved under various forms in most countries, but it has not been decided who the culprit originally was, and how he came to be imprisoned. Dante calls him Cain. Chaucer assigns his exile as a punishment for theft, and gives him a thornbush to carry, while Shakespeare loads him with thorns, but by way of compensation gives him a dog for a companion.—Pick-Me-Up.
