Rheumatism Advice
Fromlnent Doctor's Best Prescrip
tion Easily Mixed at Homo.
"From your druggist get one ounce
'of Torls compound (In original sealed
package) and one ounce of syrup of
Barsaparllla compound. Take these two
Ingredients home and put them Into a
half pint of irood whiskey. Shake the
.bottle and take a tablenpoonful before
each meal and at bed time." This is
said to be the quickest and best remedy
known to the medical profession for
rheumatism and backache. Good re
sults come after the first dose. If your
druggist does not have Torls compound
In stock he will get it for you In a few
hours from his wholesale house. Don't
be influenced to take a patent medicine
instead of this. Insist on having the
genuine Torls compound in the original
one ounce, sealed, yellow package.
Hundreds of the worst cases were cured
here by this prescription last winter.

Charts are bow being made of the dining
rooms, where tables may be engaged in

statement says:
"We shall advise our members when
called upon to treat certain cases of
sickness, to see that all the require
ments of the state of New Jersey and
the lecal board of health are complied
with, and that a regular physician be
called in to diagnose eases of children.
"While" we . wish it" to to" understood
that we do not place our faith In ma
teria medloa, and that God Is the all
healing physician, we consider It prop
er to "render therefore, unto Caesar the
things which are Caesar's and unto God
the things which are God's," and thus
avoid unnecessary criticism by those
outside of Christian Science."

RUSSIAN CHILDREN
LIVING ON ACORNS
Details of Great Famine Grad
ually Coming OutThou
sands May Starve.
St Petersburg, Deo. IS. Appalling
details of the present famine In Russia
are gradually becoming known, despite
efforts of the government to suppress
the faots. Already it la predioted that
unless adequate relief measures are
undertaken conditions will be worse
than In the great famine' of 1891, when
the number of deaths in the European
provinces of Russia reached 800,000 In
excess of the normal.
From official figures It is calculated
that th crop shortage for the year will
be 40,000,000 tons, but the Free Eco
nomic society estimates it at 60,000,000.
From the government of Ufa comes
the Information that the children have
for several months past been subsist
ing on acorns, and that the supply of
these is almost exhausted.
In the Samara government the people
are eating dogs and the bark of trees.
In all a score of government adminis
trations are affected by the crop failure.
Meantime the government Is pursuing
the most astonishing course, having ab
solutely prohibited the organisation and
operation of private relief societies for
fear of an uprising.
Every Woman Knows
But Sometimes Forgets
("Esther" in Household Helps.)
"Every woman know her complexion
requires dally care, but how many are
constantly forgetting It? The easiest
and simplest way "to preserve or re
store youthful complexion is to lightly
massage the face, neck and arms with
a solution made by dissolving an orig
inal package of mayatone In eight
ounces of witch hazel. This prevents
the growth of hair, and keeps the skin
soft, pliable and lovely.
"To remove chaps, cold sores, pimples
and skin eruptions, cover with Mother's
Salve before retiring. It also heals
cuts, burns, scalds and sores, and is a
'reliable remedy for coughs, colds and
catarrh.
"An excellent dry shampoo Is made
by mixing four ounces of therox with
four ounces of corn meal, or with four
ounces of powdered orris root. Sprinkle
on the head and brush through the hair.
It makes the hair light and fluffy, and
beautifully lustrous."
