Demand For Old Hats.
(Philadelphia Bulletin.)
“Oh, yes, 1 am always in the mar
ket for second-hand derbies and silk
hats. They sell better than anything
else.”
The old clothes dealer pointed to a
room filled with shocking hats.
“There’s not half enough there to
meet the demand,” he said. "If you
was to bring me a carload of old
hats this morning I’d take ’em all.”
r “There’s such a demand, eh?”
“You bet there's a demand. Espec
ially among old maids and widows
that live alone. They buy these hats
and hang a couple on the hall rack.
Then, when a beggar or tramp gets
too rambuctious at the door, they
turn and say:
“ ‘George is home. That’s his hat.
George! Oh, George! Will you come
down here and turn this rascal
away?’
“Then the tramp sneaks, thinking
there's a man in the house.
“Restaurants, when they open up
new stands'generally lay in twenty
five or thirty hats. They hang them
in the lobby to make people think
business is brisk.”
Especially in New York.
The hotel- patron said—
And he was right indeed —
“You never will be fed
Unless the waiter’s feed.”

Making Good.
There is no way of making lastlns
friends like "Making Good;” and Doctor
Pierce’s medicines well exen.plify this,
and their friends, after more than two
decades of popularity, are numbered by
the hundreds of thousands. They have
"made good” and they have not made
drunkards.
A good, honest, square-deal medicine of
known composition is Dr. Pierce’s Qolden
Medical Discovery. It still enjoys an im
mense sale, while most of the prepara
tions that nave come into prominence in
the earlier period of its popularity have
" gone by the board ” and are never more
heard of. There must be some reason for
this long-time popularity and that is to
be found in its superior merits. When
once given a fair trial, for weak stomach,
or for liver and blood affections, its supe
rior curative qualities are soon manifest;
hence it has survived and grown in pop
ular favor, while scores of less meritorious
articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for a brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.
For a torpid liver with its attendant
indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per
haps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated
tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite,
with distress after eating, nervousness
and debility, nothing is so good as Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It’s
an honest, square-deal medicine with all
its ingredients printed on bottie-wrapper
—no secret, no hocus-pocus hummig,
therefore dan't accept a *substitute that
the dealer may possibly make a little big
ger profit. Insist on your right to have
what vou call for.
Don’t buy Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion expecting it to prove a "cure all.” It
is only advised for woman’s special ail
ments. It makes weak women strong and
6iek women well. Less advertised than
some preparations sold for like purposes,
its sterling curative virtues still maintain
its position in the front ranks, where it
stood over two decades ago. As an in
vigorating tonic and strengthening nerv
ine it is unequaled. It won’t satisfy those
who want "booze,” for there is not a drop
of alcohol in it.
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets, the origi
nal Little Liver Pills, although the first
pill of their kind in the market, still lead,
and when once tried are ever afterwards
in favor. Easy to take as candy-one to
three a dose. Much imitated but never
equaled..
Y. M. A. Secretary Inherited $lO,-
000,000.
WORCESTER, MASS., March 10.—
John T. Dower, Secretary of the Athol
Branch, Young Men’s Christian As
sociation, was informed today that he
had inherited $10,000,000 by the death
in Melbourne a month ago of an
uncle, Thomas Wallace. Though he
has two sisters living, Wallace is
said to have made no mention of
them in his will, making Dower his
sole heir.
Dower has arranged for the Mel
borune Secretary of the association
to have counsel look after his inter
ests. He says he thinks so little of
money that he would not go there
for it. Even though he might be a
millionaire ten times over he intends
to remain a hard-working Secretary
of the association.

STEVENS KNOCKS
PANAMA CANAL
It Will be a Failure When
Completed.
NEW HAVEN, CONN., March 10.—
John F. Stevens, a vice president of
the New York, New Haven and Tart
ford Company and former chief en
gineer of the Panama Canal, has is
sued a statement regarding the latter
enterprise in which he prophesies a
failure of the undertaking.
Mr. Stevens says that the canal
will not help the United States in its
trade with South America, as prac
tically all of the inhabitants of the
southern continent are on the east of
the Andes. Mr. Stevens also says
that our commercial returns with
the islands of the Pacific and the
Far East the canal will be of little
value. Our coal and wheat centers
are inland. Their products have to
be started on their way by rail. When
once loaded on cars it would be no
cheaper to ship to the Atlantic and
then ship to the East by the way of
the canal than it would be to send
directly' to the ports on our Pacific
coast and then get on board ship.
Furthermore, Mr. Stevens believes
that our coal supply is fast diminish
ing and that China will be the source
of future coal supply. Siberia, he
says, will be the wheat country of the
future, with India a close second.
Mr. Stevens maintains that the
Panama canal will not meet expenses
and it will cost more than is expect
ed. It will be an advantage to Eu
ropean countries and not to us. The
date of the finishing of the canal he
fixes as January, 1915.
The idea of the canal being of great
value to us in times of warfare, sinqe
our naval forces can oe quickly sent
from one coast to the other, he says,
is absurd. It would taks days for
the ships to get around and during
that time hostile shells could have
done their work. Mr. Stevens believes
that it would be a far wiser plan of
defense to put the money that the
canal will cost into a greater navy.
IT IS SERIOUS.
Some Arnwious People Fail to Realize
the Seriousness
The constant aching of a bad back.
The weariness, the tired feeling.
The pains and aches of kidney ills
Are serious—if neglected.
Dangerous urinary troubles follow.
An Americus citizen shoys you how
to avoid them.
J R. Edwards, farmer, living just
outside the corporation limits says:
“My r back troubled me for years. Some
times it was so weak that I was un
able to stand up straight. There was
a constant dull pain that often awoke
me at night and the secretions were
out of order, being sluggish, scant
and thick. I had tried many different
kinds of medicine when I first got
Doan’s Kidney' Pills at J. C. Dodson’s
drug store. They did just what is
claimed for them in my case, and 1
am glad to recommend them to others.
The pains have left me, my back is
stronger and as I am resting well at
night my general health is much
better. The secretions have lost that
gumy appearance and are more .regu
lar. I am more than pleased with
Lh’'s result.”

Gave Away His Honey, Now in Poor,

WORCESTER, MASS., March 10.—
