Rising From The Grave.
A prominent manufacturer,
Wnj.A, Fertwell, of Luoama, N.
C., relates a most remarkable
experience. He says: ‘After
taking less than three bottles of
Electric Bitters, I feel like one
rising from the grave. My trou¬
ble is Bright’s disease, in the
Diabetes stage. I fully believe
Electric will cure me permanent¬
ly, for it has already stopped the
liver and bladder complications
which have troubled me for
years.” Guaranteed at Spence
Drug Co. 1 Price only 50c.
The latest political rumor is to
the effect that Seab Wright will
oppose Steve Clay on the hust
lings for the senatorship and
that the reform element will sup¬
port the former. Wright would
make the sleepy members of the
Millionaire’s Club sit up and take
notice.—Times-Enterprise.
Common Colds Are The Cause
Of Many Serious Diseases.
Physicians who have gained a national
reputation as analysis of the cause of
various diseases, claim that if catching
cold could be avoided a long list of dan¬
gerous ailments would never be heard
of. Every one knows that pneumonia
and consumption originate from a cold,
and chronic catarrh, bronchitis, and all
throat and lung trouble are aggravated
and rendered more serious by each fresh
attack. Do not risk your life or take
chances when you have a cold. Cham¬
berlain’s Cough Remedy will cure it be¬
fore these diseases develop. This remedy
contains no opium, morphine or other
harmful drug and has thirty years of
reputation back of it, gained by its cures
under every condition. For sale by

Treating The Lazy Child Scien¬
tifically.
The New Idea Woman’s Maga¬
zine has taken up the subject of
child-training in a new way. It
has sent an interviewer to an ex¬
pert school teacher to find out
how it is that children whose pa¬
rents “can do nothing with them”
do not give the least trouble in
school. The first interview is
printed in the March number of
The New Idea, and deals with.
‘‘The Lazy Child and the Unwill¬
ing Child.” Some of the points
made will surprise and perhaps
not convince the average parent.
For instance:
•‘Do you, then, not recognize
such a quality as laziness in chil¬
dren?” asked the reporter, feel¬
ing the infection of Miss Farrell’s
optimism.
No. Those who know child na¬
ture best tell us that the principle
of childhood is activity. If we
do not give a child something to
do that is suited to him, or if the
thing is not presented to him in a
way that will appeal to him, then
he will refuse it and develop his
activity in some other way.”
‘‘But surely, to some extent, a
child must do the thing that does
not appeal to him.” This new
doctrine of taking the child’s na¬
ture into account was decidedly
upsetting.
“But why? Everything may
be made to appeal to a child.
Frankly, I do not believe in a
child doing a thing simply be¬
cause it is good for it.”
This is a fair sample of the
treatment of the subject, which
will be found at least suggestive
to those aggrieved individuals,
active parents afflioted with lazy
children.
