The past !s valuable only for the les
sons it eau teach ; the present for its
opportunities; the futue for its
possibilities, writes Edward W. Bok
in tlie January Ladies’ Home Journal.
Whatever the past year may have
meant to you make it dead history.
But let the New Year be a living is
sue. With a big fresh sponge, drip
ping with the clear water of forgive
ness, wipe clean the slate of your
heart. Enter the year with a kind
thought for every one. A happy mind
is an elixir, and us are the spirits of
the wife in the home, so will be those
of the husband, who in turn will car-
rj - them into the outer world. Dor
mestic happiness often colors com
mercial prosperity. The hearthstone
is the corner of the counting-room.
A unhappy wife makes a blue mer-
chat. As we men live at home, so
we work in the outer world.

blood disease. I tried one bottle of

in bed seven months. I tried promi

do me any good. I saw your adver

The bottle I got to-night makes seven

have informed my friends that P. P.

Had N»t Met in Fifty Tears.
There was Va meeting at Mascontah,
Bis., Monday, between two brothers who
had not met betV>re f or upward cf half a
century. A welf dressed, aged couple
alighted from an evening train and in
quired for Squire> EL E. Bagby, one of
the oldest citizens pf the place. “He is
my brother,” exclaimed the old gentle
man. “whom I ha ve not seen for over
fifty years.” The stranger was William
Bagby, a retired farmer, of Harris City,
White county, Ills^ He left Mascoutah
about fifty years ajgo, and after travel
ing for some time ! he settled down on a
farm in White yxranty and married.
During the war < he lost track of his
brother and supposed he was dead. He
heard from him a 'short time ago and de
cided to visit liiicn and his old home.
William Bagby isi eighty-four years of
age and the squire is ten years his jun
ior. The aged wivds of the brothers had
never met before Monday.—Exchange.

Original Portieres.
We are told that bleached cowfails
are the approved loops for heavy por
tieres. and that their festoons are ter
minated au naturel with tasseled ends
This rather startling information comes
to us from an English paper, which, like
all journals of that stamp, is prolific in
bizarre schemes of action attributed
solely to American women. If the
American woman who has her portieres
looped with bleached cowtails would re
ceive her medal she must come to the
front. As |yet her street and number
are unknown.—New York Sun.

THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE.
No portion of the human organism
has, within the past few years, been
submitted to more thorough and intelli
gent examination, by medical scientists,
than the blood. The result of these in
vestigations has been to clearly demon
strate that the general health is more
dependent upon the condition of the
blood than upon any other thing.
In making a diagnosis, some modern
practitioners are not satisfied with
merely determining the temperature
of the blood: they test it by means of
the microscope and other appliances, to
ascertain if any foreign bodies have in
troduced themselves among its minute
corpuscles. Thus, for example, it has
been found that in persons affected
with gout, dric acid may always be de
tected in the blood; while the cause of
other disorders has been traced to the
presence of germs, or microbes.
These discoveries Lave throwq a flood
df light on the causes of disease; and
physicians now, in the treatment of
many complaints, go directly to the root
of the evil by endeavoring to purify the
blood of its contaminating poisons. For
this purpose nothing else has been found
so efficacious as the iodide of potassium.
But the best effects of this drug can
only be obtained when it is used in
combination with other things, such as
sarsaparilla, podophyllum, or yellow
dock; and Ayer’s Compound Extract of
Sarsaparilla, being considered the most
skilful union of these ingredients known
to pharmacy, is therefore most highly
recommended by physicians.
Even if the iodides were not present,
the Honduras sarsaparilla alone, of
which Ayer’s medicine is the extract,
would be sufficiently effective, in the
majority of cases, to produce the most
desirable results. But, “to make assur
ance doubly sure,” and to greatly facili
tate the purifying process, the iodide of
potassium lends its powerful alterative
and detergent properties to the rest.
The distinctive value of Ayer’s Sarsa
parilla is that, while it is quite as potent
for most purposes as the iodide alone, it
is safer in non-professional hands; for,
by simply following the directions on
the wrapper, the patient becomes his
own physician. Hence this medicine
has long been recognized by leading
physicians and druggists everywhere as
the standard popular blood-purifier.
