very truth, where young girls who
arc not in homes where they can
be properly fitted for life and its
duties, may go for education, and
fur receiving the fine ideals which
must go toward the making of lives
that will bless wherever they
touch. The Vashti Home is found

upon the hearts of the people, that
every need has been met, so far,

she could gather into such boys
as a little military
company, first, for all boys love the
sound of fife and drum. Then she open
ed a clean room up stairs, and gave it to
tbem for a club. It was kept warm in
\\ inter, and there were always a few boys
there, enjoying the books, pictures, and
innocent games placed conveniently for
their amusement. Then too, there was
in this mission, a dav nursery, where the
mothers who were obliged to do rectorv
work, might leave their babies and little
girls, and feel no anxiety about harm
the coming to them; a kindergarten where
tots are taught, until thev reach the
right age for entering the public schools;
a mother s meeting where the women are
tactfully taught right ideals of life, along
whh better methods of carrvine on the
homely affairs of daily life.

Safeguard the Children.
Notwithstanding all that is done by
boards of health and charitably inclined
persons, the death rate among small chil
dren is very high during the hot summer
months in large cities. There is not prob
ably one case of bowel complaint in a
hundred, however that could not be cured
by the timely use of Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Mr.
Frank Riggs, of Franklinville, N. Y., in
speaking of this remedy said: ‘‘I have
found it expedient to have a supply of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy on hand. It has been a
family safeguard and while especially Den
eficial to children, it is equally good in
adult cases. I recommend it cheerfully
and without reservation. For sale by

BLACK WEED, the great vegetable
remedy for 5th eumatism > Catarrh, and
and Bladder complaints, has met
with almost instantaneous success be- |
cause it has made some noteworthy j
cures of very severe cases.
Mr. John Post, of the Atlanta Fire
Dept., writes;
«< For months I suffered with my kid- ! j
neys. I made every effort to get relief,
but failed until I accidentally came in j
sssion of a bottle of Black Weed,
The relief obtained from its use was so :
great before half the first bottle had j
been used, that I put aside all other
medicines and am now sound and well,
having been cured completely by Black
Weed. At the same time I had an ag
gravated case of Catarrh of the head
and throat. Black Weed has completely
cured this, and my head is now as clear
u a bell.”
