Cheap Power.
A gasoline engine furnishes the cheapest power obtainable for
pumping water, running wood saws, churns or any kind of ma
chinery. Farmers who have light work where power is required,
will find a gasoline engine “the very thing”. However, they are
made in all sizes, from 1 to 100 horse power; and the man who
wants a large engine for any purpose will find a gasoline engine
perfectly satisfactory.
A gasoline engine is far less dangerous than a steam engine; is
easily and quickly started and stopped; and can be run by any
person of ordinary intelligence, without any knowledge of ma
chinery.
The International gasoline engine furnishes safe and cheap
power. It’s “a beauty" in every respect, and does its work per
fectly.
You can see an International in operation in the News office.
The owner will take pleasure in showing it in operation to all call
ers.

AN HERB FOR EVERY PAIN.

In the village of Greenwich, England,
in a quaint old street where the build
ings are so thick that they tangle them-
selves together in n knot, there is n
pieer little shop with a sign over the
door that reads, “An Herb For Every
Pain.”
On the shelves of tills shop are to be
found hundreds of different kinds of
herbs for the cure of nil bodily ull-
ments. Tlipre can be found nil the old
time herbs that our grandmothers used
to have hanging nround the walls of
the kitchen and stored away In the at

Ideas about health nnd sickness go
there for bugleweed, sumac, winter-

yellow dock, catnip, cherry bark, mul

All these herbs have the reputation of
being good for some one or more ail

set for colds, sumac for sore throat,
wlntergreen for rheumatism, lobelia as
an emetic lo case of poisoning, mullein
for consumption, etc.
Nearly all of these herbs are made
into teas. Sassafras tea, boneset tea
and catnip tea are brewed nnd served
either cold or hot. Among the many
hundreds of herbs that are sold in this
little shop are some that are deadly
poisons, nnd they are labeled and sold
under the same restrictions as other
poisons.
The good old remedies that our grand
