A FEW PERTINENT QUESTIONS- (By Eleanor Francis.) Do you know: That ordinary whit ing at two cents a pound, is one of the most effective and easily obtained cleansers that exists? A small quan tity on a damp cloth will remove grime from paint instantly, without wear or injury to the finest enamel, while bath tubs of porcelain, zinc, or those with painted finish, are cleared as readily with whiting as w.cu the more expensive prepara tions. Do you know: That since kero sene will not freeze it Is the finest thing for cleaning windows In cold weather? Apply with soft paper or old cloths, and polish with newspa per made soft by rubbing. Be sure to bum all th^ papers and cloths as soon as the work Is finished. Spon taneous combustion from oil soaked cloth or paper starts many a destruct ive fire. Do you know: That the same pe troleum In the form of “Capsicum Vaseline’’ will ease pain. Including toothache, better than any mustard plaster, and that it never blisters as mustard does, while the vaseline without the capsicum is one of the best hair tonics in existence? Do you know: That a small quan tity of benzoin added to the water used for bathing the face—producing a milky liquid—-is quite harmless to the most delicate skin and is an un excelled beauty bath? That benzoin is the basis of’ most of the expensive skin foods used or sold by “beauty” specialists, and is a mild but effect ive astringent, stimulating the circu lation of the tiny blood vessefs which supnly nourishment for the skin, and that the frequent use of this simple remedy keeps the skin smooth and fresh looking long after wrinkle time? Do you know: That work In some form is the greatest creator and pre server of happiness that exists? That half the ill health and unhappiness In the world are due to the fact that people have allowed themseffes to become useless members of society? That no true dignity Is possible to an individual who does not do something worth while, and that no useful work that any does can he degrading If It Is performed Intelligently and with a will? Do you know: That if people re alized the convenience of possessing a book of asbestos paper, which costs but a few cents, no home would be without it? As a non-conductor of heat it is useful in many different ways. A sheet of it slipped between the folds of holders made for Iron ing. or for removing hot pots or pans from the stove, renders these useful articles less clumsy, doing away with any other stuffing. For a tea cosy this same paper makes a perfect In terlining and allows of their being made up in much prettier shapes than were the old time padded affairs. A sheet of the asbestos paper covers cake or other articles in the oven to prevent too quick browning, and la more effective than ordinary paper, while It can be used over and over again, as heat does not harm It. Do yo i know: That intelligent nse of man-; simple, easily obtained con veniences that lighten labor In the home and give busy women time for some of the recreations which are a necessity for well being, are paying investments? That useless labor la as foolish as well directed labor la healthful and dignified Of interest to People 0 f Thle Community- It la aurprlslng the large number of cases of dyspepsia, Indigestion and stomach trouble that the druggist has to deal with almost every day. Stom ach trouble seems to be Increasing right along from year to yqar among the American people, and In nearly every case carelessness In what they eat or how they eat Is what brings on attacks of stomach disorders. There arc perhaps more people today suffer ing from heart burn, sour stomac bad breath, nausea, belching, and other Irregularities arising from Indi gestion, than from any otner aiimeuu In this regard The Ledger takes pleasure In recommending to our readers the well known remedy, Ko- dol, for dyspepsia and Indigestion. Kodol Is a scientific preparation. It is a combination of vegetable acids with natural dlgestants and it con tains the same juices found In the stomach of a healthy person. It Is undoubtedly tho most etiecuve. prompt and satisfactory remedy we know of for stomach disorders. The Gaffney Drug Co., our ponular druggists, has sent us a letter from a prominent resident of the State Georgia, who tells his experience with Kodol. Wo gladly reproduce this letter. Office of the Prison Commlsslorier of Georgia. Atlanta, August 10, J904. E. C. DeWitt & Co., Chicago, HI. Dear Sirs:—“I have suffered more than twenty years from Indigebnou. About eighteen months ago I had grown so much worse that I could not digest a crust of corn bread and coukt not retain anything on my stomach. My heart would heat so fast I could not sleep. At times I would almost draw double with pain in the pit o*‘ my stomach. I lost twenty-five pounds; in fact. I made up my mind that I conld not live but a short time, when a friend of mine recommended Kodol. I consented to try It to please him and I was better In one day. I now weigh more than I ever did in my life and am in better health than for many years. Kodol did it. I keep a bottle constantly, and write this hoping that humanity will be benefltted.” Yours very truly, Jake C. Moore. State Warden.

A Turn Coat- (Philadelphia Ledger.) The late Gov. Parsons, of Alabama was one of those few Southerners ! who espoused the Union cause dur ing the civil war. After the estab lishment of peace he was rewarded for his fidelity by b'Mng made provis ional governor of his State. At the time of secession, however, he was a member of the Alabama legislature, and, to the Indignation of his Southern Mends who had elected him to office, he voted against seces sion. Soon afterward he wrote his wife that, as his supply of shirts was ex hausted, he desired her to send him more as soon as possible. Mrs. Par- on?. a zealous Southerner, answered In a note remarkable for its brevity and point. Without prelude or form ality she wrote; “You have turned your coat; yon may turn your shirt." I ain’t feeling right today. Something wrong I must say; Come to think of It. that s right I forgot my Rocky Mountain Tea last night.
