a HE delights of an evening spent around a well-lighted read
ing table are not half understood. An illustrated magazine
with its wealth of illustrations, its stories of adventure and
love, its descriptions of travel which carry you to the remotest
ends of the earth, and its instructive articles for young and old—these
are the first requisites for your own enjoyment and the entertainment
and proper education of your children. ~ &.<_ ■>
To secure for you the best and most interesting of the great illus
trated magazines at the lowest possible price has been the aim of the
editor of this journal. That we have succeeded we leave our readers
to judge. A special contract recently entered into with The Cosmo
politan, which seeks to become better known.in this neighborhood, has
enabled us to offer you a year’s subscription to the greatest of the illus
trated magazines together with a year’s subscription to this journal,
In this way you secure your own home paper and an illustrated,
magazine at a price that is only about a fourth of what some of the
illustrated magazines sell for. For three years The Cosmopolitan has
undisputedly claimed that it reached the largest clientele possessed by
any periodical, daily, weekly or monthly, in the world. It was The
Cosmopolitan which sent Julian Hawthorne to India to let the world
know the real horrors of famine and plague. It was The Cosmopol
itan which established at its own cost a great Free Correspondence
University which now has over 20,000 students on its rolls. It was
The Cosmopolitan which offered a prize of $3,000 for the best horse
less carnage and prizes for best plans for public baths, and best arrange
ment of sewer and pipe systems for cities. It was The Cosmopolitan
which set the presidents of great schools and universities seriously
discussing the defects of existing educational systems. It is The
Cosmopolitan whose enterprise is always in the lead in advancing the
world’s civilization. —*

A foul breath is one of the great
est afflictions that a man or woman
can have. An affliction not only to
themselves, but to those, with whom
they come in contact A foul breath
is a great discourager of affection.
It would probably bo more so if peo
ple only realized jnst what bad
breath Cleans. Bad breath is one of
the symptoms of constipation. Some
of the other symptoms are sour stom
ach, loss of appetite, sick and bilious
headache, dizziness, heartburn and
distress after eating. These things
mean indigestion. They lead to dys
pepsia and worse things. They all
start with' constipation, and consti
pation is inexcusable because it can
be cured; cured easily, quickly and
permanently, by the use of Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. They give
to nature just the little help that she
needt. There is no case of bilious
ness, constipation, indigestion, heart
burn,or any of the rest of the-night
mare breeding brood,that these little
Pellets will not cure.

Two well known English plants, the
thistle and the rape, are so inimical that
if a field is infested with thistles, which
come up year after year and ruin the
crops, all yon have to do is to sow it
with rape. The thistles will be absolute
ly annihilated.
