Mr*. Cleveland takes massages daily
and lives exclusively on milk mid wine.
When she and her distinguished husband
drive out, Mis. Cleveland is mullled in
furs, cloth leggings and wraps and h< r
husband's strong light arm is at h> r back
for support. She look* like n ghost; colorless,
blue lipped. hollow eyed, aud
with sunken cheeks
Not m soul is admitted to tho cottage.

are away for their biicf outing. The

little carriage, is taken out each day l?v

ami c heerful.
The temporary and other residents.of

dried suiHcictf ly the trays are gathei
and stacked ii piles about as high a
man's waist. Then begins the tedir
but necessary process of sorting into t

eight inches dep aud hold 125 pou'
of grapes. Around the sorter are th
sweat boxes or the three grades

mauilia paper which are used at eq
intervals to ptrvent the stems of

as the equalizer. Tins is constructor
as to permit ventilation at the top, I
to exclude light and air as much
possible from the grapes. The bo
are piled in tiers in this house n
allowed to remain in darkness for fr
ten to twenty days. Here they undo
a sweating process, which ditln
moisture c ptally throughout the c

grapes from retaining undue moislt
and it also softens the sterns and ma!

of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
*ksw\ -.1 r,.? ??
.... . iv: ..?VU?MU1U V^KTV
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, yotti
think, to find the makers of a medicine
trying to prove that they believo
in it. "'lucre must be some- * thing
hack of it! " t
Rut it s a plain, square offer, made,
in good faith. The only thing that's
baek of it is the Remedy. It cures
Catarrh in the llq^. To its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases yield,
no matter how bad or of how long
standiup. It has a record that
goes back for 115 years. It doesn't
simply relievo ? it perfectly and
permanently cures. With a Remedy
like this, tho proprietors can
make sueh an offer and mean ^
To bo buro there's risk in it,"but
it's so very small' that they are
willing to take it. ~ \
