Stimulant or Tonic? Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is not a stimulant. It does not make you feel better one day, then as bad as ever the next. There is not a drop of alco hol in it. Ayer’s Sarsapa rilla is a tonic. You have the steady, even gain that comes from such a medicine. Ask your doctor all about this. Trust him fully, and always do as he says. He knows. Who make* the best liver pills? The J. C. Ayer Company, of Lowell, Mas*. They have been making Ayer’s Pill* for over sixty years. If you have the slight est doubt about using these pills, ask your doctor. Ask him first, that’s best. Mad* by the J. O. AYES CO., Lowell, Meet. A TRIBUTE TO A PURE LIFE Thirty years ago a shy awk ward country girl of IL> year.- en tered school in a small town, a stranger among a bevy of at tractive girls, near Iter own r.ge. The unattractive c«, intry girl was very uncoinforta.bl *, felt much out of place, until a fair haired, beautiful girl frot.: amo g the others saw the sitnat’on anJ sweetly made herself agreeable. Her winning manner, her lovely dower-like face and the grasp of her friendly hand, helped to over come the shyness. The awkward girl forgot herself in admiration of the sweet face and gentle char acter of the newly found friend. An act of kindness is, we believe, recorded in the Book of Life. This act was imprinted indelibly on the memory, the beautiful face was never forgotten, and the name of Julia Thurman has always been associated, in the mind of “the country girl,” with all that was pure and lovely of character. The woman of today, who was the awkward girl of thirty years ago, writes this byway of appreciation of the kind act and the pure life of the girl who grew into an ex ceptionly sweet womanhood. Such a girl could not be else. ' When recently' the news came that the subject of this sketch was free, after months of suffering, memory went back to that sum rner school and the writer felt again the sweetness of the friend ship so delicately extended and thought how glad she was to have the privilege to now tell the be- sls - Disc Harrows • sls We have a large assortment of Disc Harrows including the makes of several different factories.

Scientists have recently secured an accurate measurement of the temper ature of boiling lava in a crater. The experiment was a very dangerous one, and it was considered a triumph of precaution no lives were sacrificed in making the test. The r:\ter of Killauea in Hawull was reacted for examination. The work progressed very slowly. For a long time it was Impossible to obtain results, but after several thermome ters had been destroyed a pyrometer was substituted to advantage. The temperature recorded was 1,010 de grees centigrade, which is the same as 1,850 degrees Fahrenheit, iron is still unmelted at this heat, but gold, silver and copper become a molten mass at a lower temperature.—Har per’s Weekly.
