The proof that corn bread diet akes bigger men physically can ; found in the rural districts of idiana, Illinois and Kentucky, here hominy and corn bread con- itute the staff of life. A table in ly of the rural districts in these tates on which there is no ^ish repared from corn is a curiosity, id in those States men who fall jlow the stature of five feet are warfs. Six feet is the regulation ze, and men who tower consider ily above this height are accept- 1 by the inhabitants as a matter [ course. Of course, climate influences iust be considered when stature under discussion, but the food irms the basis of calculation. It generally accepted by men who ave given this subject thought lat the six-footers of Indiana, lliaois and Kentucky as a rule ere brought up on hominy or orn bread as the main food sup- ly. If the crowned heads of Eu- jpe could but be convinced that am bread will result in a nation f six-footers, the American farmer ould hardly be able to raise cqrn tiough to supply the European larkets.—Ex, Subscribe for this paper. IN MEMORY OF A MAN. The Funeral of the l.ajt« Engineer. Wi ll. P JohniMI. Engineer Will is m Johnston, the true, the tried, the faithful, was buried yesterday afternoon at Mr. Hope cemetery. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Walter I. Herbert at the Presby terian church. i Mr. Johnston was a member of the BrQtherhood of Locomotive Engineers and of the Knights of I Pythias and these two orders at tended the funeral in a body. ! They accompanied the remains ' from the home to the church, and | from the church to the grave, with sad hearts paying the last tribute to their friend aud brother. The church service was peculiar ly solemn and impressive. It was very largely attended, the whole town wanting to honor the man who had given up his life at the post of duty. I he Reverend Mr. Herbert spake feelingly of this fact, and commended to those present this example of bravery, of faithfulness, of self sacrifice even uuto death. The casket was borne by Messrs J-J. Jennings, John L. Meadors, Henry J. Ja#gar, J. J. Forgurty ana E. A. Ray, all engineers, and Mr. J- F. Blackley. The floral tributes were beautiful and told a story of respect aud love. Mr. Johnston leaves a young widow, two little children of five and two years respectively, and five brothers, all of whom were present at the end and with whom a host of friends will sympathize and mourn. It is useless to refer again to the cause of Willis Johnston’s death. no and how he suffere too well known. Literally he gave his life for others, and as the days go by those who knew him and those to whom the story is handed down will do honor \o his mem ory. Death ol’ an Infant. Louise, the four mouths old daughter of J Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Husbands, died yesterday morning at 10:30 o’clock after an illness of several days. In the absence ot Rev. H. R. Moseley the funeral service was conducted at the home by Rev. Walter I. Herbert, aud th? little one was placed to sleep in Mt. Hope Cemetery.

There is no clue to Jthe thief, though, judging trom the narrow places through which he entered, he is thought to be either a very small man or a boy. Let the people watch.

I gave it such rem edies as are usually given in such cases, but as nothing gave relief, we sent for a physician and it was under his care for a week. At this time the child had been sick for ten days and was having about twenty.five operations of the bowels every twelve hours, and we were convinced that unless it soon obtained relief it would not live, Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recom mended, and 1 decided to try it. I soon noticed a change for the better; by its continued use a com plete cure was brought about and it is now perfectly healthy.—C. L. Boggs, Stumptown, Gilmer Co., W. Va.

Boils, or their more aggravated form of carbuncle, surely indicates a diseased condition of the blood, which should have prompt atten tion on the appearance of the first symptoms, or they may lead to more serious diseases. Eat the xest you can get, and freely use Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.) Vlrs. W. A. Steed, of Augusta, Ga., had boils for several years >ast, as well as a carbuncle over he right eye. This spring she elt the symptoms of boils coming on again. While sewing she would prick the skin with her needle. The little sores would ester. She took two bottles of Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.) and was entirel cured, and she jassed the spring without the an noying boils and possible return of a carbuncle. Her blood was re- ieved of a poison matter by B. B. 3., which is a powerful blood remedy. J. D. Watkins, Blakely, Ga., writes: “Old sores covered my entire person and itched intensely night andday. For several months I could not work at all. I com menced the use of Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.) and began to grow better the first week, and am now sound and well, free from sores and itching, and at work again.” Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.) is a scientific vegetable compound used by Dr. Gilman in his private practice for blood diseases such as old seres, scrofula, boils, blood poison, etc. It cured so many people that it was put on the mar ket 17 years ago and is for sale by all druggists at $1.00 per large bottle. It has always enjoyed a large sale because it ‘ cures! cures! cures! even after everything has been tried in vain. It cures because B. B. B drives the poisdn out o the blood and body.
