A story is going the rounds about
an old farmer who had never seen a
motorcycle. One day an automobile
passed his farmhouse, closely follow-^
ed' by two motorcycles. Turning to
his wife the farmer said: "Mandy, I
never knew afore that those pesky
autos had colts, too."
About the time a man begins to
think he is well preserved he gets
canned. • !;

. A man went into a Kansas City
store and asked the clerk to show
him some ladies' hose. "Do you want
tjiem for your wife or do you want
something higher priced," asked the
clerk.
EIt is necessary for a man to break
aj horse before he can drive it, but in
the case of thfc automobile it usually
breaks the man—and ,then he can't
djflve it over five miles withotit a
break-down.
: Residents in the east part of town
are threatening to act nasty and tell
things on a certain married man
whose wife is out of town. He enter-
tained a few friends at his home the
other night at which the principal
amusement was throwing beer bottles
through the windows and singing
"How Dry I Am." A sixteen years
old girl is said to be living with him
and. the neighbors refer to him in
sucii endearing terms as "the brute"
"the wretch," etc.

Those who suffer from Consumption

sweats, fever, loss of strength and lit-
tle or no appetite. Fresh air. good food,

something else is needed. Eckman's Al-
terative is a medicine which lias been
most successful in stopping night sweats,
reducing fevefr and promoting appetite,
and many who have used it. declare it

examined by the physicians of the Poly-
clinic Hospital. They also pronounced
the disease Consumption, which was
proven later by an examination of spu-
tum, as Tuberculosis Bacilli were found.
I was ordered to a Consumptive Hos-
pital. My nephew would not allow me
to go until I bad tried Eckman's Alter-
ative. Before I had taken the medicine
three weeks I had marked relief, night
sweats ceased, pain in the breast re-
lieved, cough became loose and easy,
fever left me and I commenced getting
