How to Break up a Cold
It muv be a surprise to many to learn
that a severe cold can be completely
broken up in one or two day's time.
To do this however, prompt action is
necessary. The first symptoms of a
cold are a dry, loud cough, a profuse
waterv discharge from the nose, ana a
thin, "white coating on the tongue.
When Chamberlain's cough reined y is
taken every nour on the first appear
of these symptons, it counteracts the
effect of the cold and restores the sys
tem to i healthy condition within a
day or two For sale by Wm. Britt,

The Don Sjildt-r.
The giant of the whole spiiier family
?s the "hound" or "dog" spider of Mad
agascar. Us liody weighs almost a
pound, and each of its eight legs is
longer and larger In diameter than the
common cedar pencil. Each of its
mandibles is three fourths of an Inch ia
length and very strong. The dog spider
does not spread a net and lie In wait
fur its prey, us do the giguutic bird
spiders of Ceylon, but "follows the
trail" In exact Imitation of a hound.
It will follow a faint scent to aud fro
through the weeds and uinlerbrush un
til the course is ascertained and then
suddenly dart off in a beo line and
quickly overtake the lizard, rat, mole
or other animal of which It Is In pur
suit. It has been known to capture
and kill lizards a foot or more In length,
and Professor Barnaby tells of one
which pounced upon and killed a full
grown rat. The dog spider Is said to
be the only variety among the larger
species of spiders which is absolutely
nouvenomous. there being no more dan
ger in its bite than there Is in that of a
squirrel or a rabbit.
The Man Katliiic Battas.
The man eating Kattas of North
Sumatra hava a postal system. They
make use of hollow tree trunks at
cross roads, and these primitive letter
boxes are largely patronized by young
men and women, who read and write
and correspond In a degraded native
script, which is traced on paim leaves
In vertical lines that run upward and
from left to right. These Battas,
though undoubted cannibals, are skilled
in agriculture and In raising stock.
They form large communities, have
an organized government, hereditary
chiefs, popular assemblies and a writ
ten civil and penal code. Their pictur
esque dwellings have been compared to
Swiss chalets, and the ground floor Is
reserved for their live stock. For their
skill in Ironwork, pottery and weaving
they are probably indebted to Hlndoc
teaching, and their repulsive habit is
combined with a belief In a triune
deity, Creator, Preserver and Destroyer.

ITCH ECZEMA
Suffered Tremendous Itching Over
Whole Body? Scratched Until
Bled ? Worse at Night, With
Soreness and Excruciating Pains
? A Western Lady's
WONDERFUL CURE BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES
"Last year at this lime I suffered
with a tremendous itching on my
back, which grew worse ami worse, un
til it spread over the whole body, and
only my face and hands were free.
For four months or so I suffered the
torments of the damned, and 1 had to
scratch, scratch, scratch, until 1 bled.
At night when I went to bed things
got worse, and I had at times to get
up and scratch my IhxIv all over, until
I was as sore as could be, and until i
suffered excruciating pains. 1 did not
know what it was, and resorted to a
number of blood purifiers, using at
times also Cuticura Soap. They told
me then that 1 was suffering from
eczema. Then I made up my mind
that 1 would also use Cuticura Oint
ment and Cuticura Resolvent. I used
them according to instructions, and very
soon indeed 1 was greatly relieved. I
continued until well, and now 1 am
ready to recommend theCuticura Rem
edies to any one who suffers as did your
obedient servant. Mrs. Mary Metzger,
Sweetwater, Okla., June 2S, 1905."

Drinking Ilot Water.
There are four classes of persons
;vho should not drink large quantities
of hot water: First, people who have
Irritability of the heart. Hot water
will cause palpitation of the heart In
surli cases. Second, persons with di
lated stomachs. Third, persons af
flicted with sour stomachs. Fourth,
persons who have soreness of the stom
ach or pain induced by light pressure.
These rules are not for those who take
hot water simply to relieve thirst, but
as a means of washing out the stom
ach. Hot water will relieve thirst bet
ter than cold water and for that pur
pose is not to be condemned. But hot
water Is an excitant and in cases in
which Irritation of the stomach exists
should be avoided.
Fourteenth Outary Life.
In the fourteenth century people |
lived in mud huts, with a rough door1
and no ehiinnej It was not till a cen- 1
tury later that ilie erection of a chirn- j
ney was considered more than an In- (
diligence In luxury, a tire commonly
being built against the mud plastered
wall of the hut aud the smoke escap- 1
lng through the roof. All furniture
was of wood. Most persons slept on
straw pallets, with a log of wood for
a pillow. Even the nobility had no
glass 111 the windows during this time. ?
Cleanliness was not a characteristic of
the people, and Thomas a'Becket was i
considered more than necessarily nice
because he had the floor of his hous< !
strewn with fresh straw each day.
