The quick relief which this liniment affords makes rest and sleep possible, and that alone is worth many times its cost. Many who have used it hoping only for a short relief from suffering have been happily surprised to find that after awhile the relief became permanent. Mrs. V. II. Leggett of Yum Yum, Tennessee, II. S. A., writes. "I am a great .utl'eiei from rheumatism, all over from head to foot, and Chamberlain's Pain Bahn is the only thing that will relieve the pain." I*or sale by Laurens Drug Co. and Dr. B.

The following letter addressed to his sisters has been received from the Rev. Homer Owings, who recently went to China to engage in mission work: Macao, China, March I, '06 Dear Sisters: i write you all this week as Brother Todd is going to Hong Kong Friday and mail leaves there Sat urday for home, so I send all of you a letter by this mail. I suppose that you received the letters I sent from Shang hai, China, and other ports. Friday nighe, March the 8rd, one month ago, I arrived in Macao. 1 have been well since 1 have been here and well con tented. I feel very much at home here. Have plenty to eat. We have plenty of rice and tea of course. Beef, mut ton, chickens, fresh fish in abundance; butter, sweet milk. Wo got butter and milk from Australia. We have oranges, bananas and other fruits -no apples. Sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, cab bage, etc. We have some vegetables and some fruits that you don't have in the States. We have had cold, cloudy weather since I have been here. The sun has shone part of three days in about seven weeks. We had lire four or live days. We have no freezing weather no frost. But the moisture in the atmos phere makes the cold thai we do have hurt worse than the cold weather in the States. The cold air seems to go right throguh you. 1 like Macao better than 1 thought I would. It is not so filthy as other ports of China. The Portugese have spent a good deal of money on this place. Some of the streets have side walks. Part of this city is very pretty. About two weeks ago we went to Canton, about 00 miles from Macaw ;?. attend the Association of the Baptists of Southern China. We were enter tained by the missionaries of the Board. 1 They treated us very kindly. I went j to the Association once. All the speak ing was done in Chinese. 1 couldn't un derstand, so 1 didn't go back. The As- | sociation raised $750.00 for the work in I Southern China. Most of this was! raised by the native Christians. Does Missions pay? On Saturday after noon we attended the dedication of the new Presbyterian Church. There we saw an audience of about l,000natives? all Christians or in sympathy. It was a wonderful sight. 1 praised Cod and took courage. On Monday after Association we se cured the services of a guide and four Sedan chairs to ride in and we went through Canton sight-seeing. The Se dan chair is a chair attached to two poles and carried by two or three men on their shoulders. We had three men to each chair. A stranger can't lind his way thoough Canton alone the streets are so very narrow and so very crooked. They make the streets crooked so as to fool the devil make him lose his way. I stood in the middle of some of the principal streets and could almost touch the walls of the stores on each side. All the streets will average about as wide, probably a little wider, than the sidewalks in Honen Path. Man is the only beast of burden that travels them. We visited several temples, saw the heathen worshipping idols of brass. In one temple were 5(H) gods. In an other were 60 gods one god for every year old a person is, to GO years. A 10 year old person will worship a 10 year old god, etc. We visited the City of the Dead. Here they have rooms which they rent to the wealthy Chinese for them to place their deceased relatives in, instead of burying them. When one of their family dies, he or she, is put in a cof fin and brought to the City of the Dead and placed in one of these rooms. They pay from $25.00 to $40.00 rent for the first month and $2.00 to $4.00 monthly afterwards and hire a cooley to keep tea and cakes in a room on a table, supposing to feed the spirit of the de ceased. The dead remain here for 10, 15 or more years. A cooley is a labor ing person, man or woman. We visited two pagodas. These are high towers, built for the purpose of bringing luck to the place. We rested and had tea and cakes in the 5th or top story of one of them. The other one was nine stories high. Then we visited the Temple of Horrors or the Bud dhists hell. According to their idea of hell, they have in this place figures cut out of stone which represent different kinds of punishment in hell one person in a tub of boiling oil, some turning in to sheep and calves, some beheaded, some being sawed open from head to fool. On sides are seen people (all fig ures of course) descending into hell. While just in front of these doors are numbers of fortune tellers and gam blers. No idea of sin in the true sense. Wo went to see the old water clock. This clock was on the Chinese wall 200 years before Christ. These are the most important place;. 1 saw quite Ji number of meat mark ets. In one I saw a dog dressed ready for sale. In another were some rats.. I did not see them. But they really eat dogs, cats and rats. A Chinaman on the street of Macao told Mrs. Todd that a cat is much belter than chicken, Canton has a population of about two million people. Of those, fifty thousand or more, live in boats on the river around the cityT Thoy are born, live and die on these boats. My! My!! how filthy the whole Chinese part of (he oliv jo i . ..J .... I went through some of the strcots about 10 o'clock at night. How dismal and lonely! Men Bleeping on benches in tho streets. One old woman lives in the corner of a street with an old um brella for her only covering or shelter. Mrs. Todd'a cook went away yester day so we went to a Chinese restau rant for dinner, We carried one of our teachers along to tell us what to eat. We ale with chop slicks. It was my first oxporionce with chop sticks. I could not use them very well. I ale a hearty dinner. You would have laughed heartily if you could have seen us using (hose sticks. Watermelon seed was the first course. Then parched almonds. Then meats, (fish and birds and eggs) and rice. No bread at all. The Chinese have no bread like ours. A basin of warm water was. brought in for US to bathe face and hands in after eating. Wc were told that they charged extra for this. Well, I can't to)I all. Wish I could. How sad is the condition of this people. How they need a Saviour. Sunday is no more to them than any other day. They work 7 days in the week. I havo been tempted to buy something as I would walk along the streets on Sun day, forgetting that it was Sunday. 1 havo always thought in time to save myself. If the people at home could see. The condition of China can't be written, so Unit the Christians in the States can conceive of it. Sawdust and Milk. Collier's for April 29 quotes a profes sor at the Tuskegee Agricultural Ex periment Station as saying: "1 have here seven samples of bran. To most of you they look alike. The price paid for each was probably about $22 a ton, and yet one sample is nearly half sawdust. If you want sawdust with your bran, we can give it to you at much less than $22 a ton. You wonder why your cat tle are not satisfied with the food, why they fail iu yield the milk and butter which you have a right to expect. Here is the reason." Another sample, according to Collier's, "contained a large proportion of ground corncob. As corncob and sawdust happen to be less nourishing than bran to an ordin ary cow, this device for making profit may turn the scale against a farmer just enough to deprive him of his liv ing. Some people object to the crusade now being worked up against adul terated food, on two grounds. It often happens, they say, that adulterants are as wholesome as the originals whose understudies they become. If so, noth ing is perpetrated worse than fraud. Often, however, sawdust is fed to cat tle, women or men, proving uncongen ial. Again, these objectors allege that all the talk about adulteration gives them indigestion, lakes away their ap petites, and iias a bad effect on busi ness. A bad effect on certain lines of business is what is wanted. The injury to appetite and peace of mind is a con dition precedent to improvement. When we worry enough to introduce the ap parently rare feature known as com mon honesty into the business of sell ing food, we can go back to tranquil meals; and for most stomachs it will probably be better in the end, to be peaceful over food than peaceful over poison." Chamberlain's Cough Remedy The Very Best. "1 have been using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ami want to say it is the best cough medicine I have ever taken" says Ceo. L. Chubb, a merchant of Har lan, Mich. There is no question about its being the best, as it will cure a cold or cough in less time than any other treatment. It should always be kept in the house ready for instant use, for a cold can be cured in much less time when promptly treated. For sale by Laurens Drug Co. and Dr. B.

Spring Months Cause Sickness?-Breathe Hyomei and Be Cured of Catarrh, Catarrhal troubles are more common at this season than at any other time of the year. The sudden changes that come during the spring months are productive of many cases of catarrh that without proper treatment will be come chronic. The pleasantcst, most convenient, and only scientific method for the treat ment and cure of catarrh is Hyomei. Simply put twenty drops in the little pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, and then breathe it for three minutes four times a day. No dangerous drugs or alcoholic con coctions are taken into the system when Hyomei is used. Breathed through the inhaler, the balsamic fragrance of | Hyomei penetrates to the most remote e lls of the nose and throat, and thus kills tho catarrhal germs, heals the ir ritated mucous membrane, and gives complete and permanent cure. Thousands of testimonials have been given as to the astonishing cures made by this remedy. .1. S. Nugent, treasu rer of the New York Life Insurance Company writes: "Hyomei has com pletely cured my daughter of catarrh, from which she has been a sufferer for years. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but one dollar, and as the inhaler will last a lifetime and tin re is sufficient Hyo mei for several weeks' treatment it is the most economical catarrhal remedy known. Extra bottles can de procured for fifty cents. AsK The Laurens Drug i Co. to show you the strong guarantee under which they sell Hyomei. Private Life Tempts.
