Greatest of All
" Kvcry one in Sun Antonio, Tcxns, says
tt,,.t Anki.r's t.'.llflUll ltelliodv is tllO Greatest
tiling ever nut up ior vvim ,
colds, asthma, bronchitis,
croup and consumption. I
have been using it over four
years for all forms of throat and lung trou
bles, and have yet to' come across a case
where it failed. W'e have four little ones in
our family, and neither my wife nor I have
ever lost a night 's sleep because of throat trou
bles among thechildren. I guess that is more
than any other family can say. Acker's
English Komedy is j list us effective for grown
up people as for the young. It seems to go
straight to the place where the trouble lies
in the tliroat and bronchial tubes and lungs.
It soothes and heals the irritated tissues,
loosens up the phlegm and mucus in the
breathing passages, quiets the nerves, invig
orates the constitution and stops the cough
ing. My advice to parents is to always keep
a bottle in the house. It will be a constant
safeguard ncainst croup." (Signed)

JXEW AND STRANGE STAMP.
Han Tilt Vnlnr. Hut Cntlmllcft Found
It I'neful In NcmlliiK Their
Sin 1 1.
A new niid Ktrnnpe stump has been
attracting the attention and wonder of
our po.st oft lee olllcinls. It is n stump
not found in any collect Ion or sold by
any government. It has no lesrnl value
whatsoever. Neither is it n counter
feit, nor intended to supplant in nny
way the stamps issued by the povern
mtMit authorities. It alwn.-. appears
accompanied by the proper number of
rutted States postage stamps, either
fastened by their side or stuck in the
lower left-hand corner of the envelope,
says the Philadelphia Press.
At n first glonce the stamp is u sur
prise and a mystery to the officials. In
size and general appearance it is much
like those of oriental and South Amer
ican countries. Hut a clo.-cr look at
the design a saint bearing the Christ
child in his arms reveals its religious
character. Then the men discover the
letters' S. A. (!. at the top of the stamp,
and for many of them the problem is nt
once solved.
Nearly everyone who has anything to
do with the handling of the mails is
familiar with thoe three initials.
Thousands of letter.- bearing them in
the lower left-hand corner or written
upon the back of the envelope nre re
ceived and delivered ilail in this city
alone. Even the least observant cleric
or carrier has remarked and uestioned
them.
The initials and stamps nre practic
ally the same thing: or. rather, the
stamp is a new phase of an ancient cus
tom which exists over the entire world,
nnd which during the last few years
has sprung- into popularity in this
country. It is a'ltoman Catholic cus
tom. The S. A. G. stands for "St. An
thony Guide."
Inny wonderful things are attrib
uted to St. Anthony by Catholics. " lie
is known among them as the "miracu
lous saint." Countless stories arc told
of the cures he has effeetet1 the won
ders he performs even to-day. Hut the
two things for which this saint is espe
cially given credit arc the finding of
things lost and the guidance of all cor
respondence placed uiMler hisenre.
Devout Catholics belipve that a letter
sen.t under the protection of I'ndna can
never go astray. Therefore numbers of
them to-dny hnbitually iii:cribe"S. A.
G."on all their mail matter, important
or otherwise. The stamp is merely a
more conspicuous! method of placing
correspondence in the cure of the favor
ite saint, and so paying him additional
honor. St. Anthony's stumps, as they
are called, are a modern and distinctly
American invention. Hut the custom is
overa century and n half old.
It is strange that while hundreds of
Catholics will not think of posting a
letter until "S. A. fi." i safely on the
envelope. Iinrrly ot e is able to explain
why they jiuve this, implicit faith in St.
Anthony's guidance, or from what
their belief lias sprung. They will say
vaguely that "it is a custom; that w'e
have always been told that St. Anthony
will care for Jotters."
