Many people are afraid of Shouts. Few people
are afraid of germs. Yet the ghost it a fancy and
the jerra is a fact. If the germ could be magnified
to size equal to its terror it would appear more
terrible than any fire-breathing' dragon. Germs
can't be avoided. They are iu the air we breathe,
the water we drink.
The germ can only prosper when the condition
of the system gives it free scope to establish it
self and develop. When there is a deficiency of
vital force, languor, restlessness, a aullow cheek,
hollow eye, when the appetite is poor and the
sleep is broken, it is time to guard ngainat the germ. You can
fortify the body against all germs by the use of Dr.- Pierce's Gold
ea Medioal Discovery, It increases the vita! power, cleanses the
system of clogging impurities, enriches the blood, puts the stom
ach and ocgans of digestion and nutrition in working condition, so
that the germ finds no weak or tainted spot in which to breed.
"Golden Medical Discovery" contains no alcohol, whisky or
habit-forming drugs. All its ingredients printed on its outside
wrapper. It is not a secret nostrum bill a medicine oh know
composition and with a record of 40 years of cures. Accept no
substitute there is nothing "just as good." Ask your neighbors.

ASTOR, BY NEW GIFTS,
COURTS KNIGHTHOOD
London. William Waldorf Astor Is
to contribute heavily to another of
trim VMward's net charities. He has
offered, through his son, a practical
ly unlimited sum to the King s nospu
i f.,.,,i for the olan of dealing with
tuberculosis, and as this is a project
In which His Majesty is aeepiy inter
ested, the gift undoubtedly will aid
In creating a kindly feeling towards
Mr. Astor.
Mr. Astor has a-iven many hundreds
of thousands of dollars to create and
foster this kindly feeling. He nas
contributed generously to many chari
ties jn which the King nas Deen in
terested, but as yet his reward, if he
expects a reward. Is to come. There
have been many persons who, by
gifts of this kind, have attained
knighthood, and it has been said many
times that this Is Mr. Astor's objec
tive.. So far, however, the giving has
all been from Mr. Astor's side.
Besides money donations, Mr. As
tor bought the Bnlaclava bugle and
gave It to the British museum. He
also purchased the flag of the Ches
peHke, which was captured by the
Shannon In 1813, and, presented It to
the Royal United Service Museum. At
the time Princess Maud was bethroth
ed he sent her a magnificent uncut
diamond. "
