The number of retail licenses is four less than last year, but as there will be five rehearlngs it is believed that the number in the end will be about the same as last year. There are two more wholesale licenses and two more breweries. The additional breweries are the Luzerne County Brewing of Wilkesbarre, and the Pilsner Brewing of Hazleton. The entire liquor license fund amounts to about $350,000, which will be divided between the municipalities of the county county and the State. The county treasurer has the privilege of holding the State money 90 days and the money for the municipalities six months, so it is not likely that boroughs, cities and townships will receive the money duo them until about Sept.

Bosworth's Infallible Nervine The Great Nerve Tonic Bead this letter Galien, Mich. Gentlemen: I bought three bottles of your medicine from my druggist The medicine rendered me very good service, but I am sorry to say that the druggists here are all sold out of your medicine. I should have bought six bottles instead of three.

I will gladly take six bottles of the Nervine and Blood Tonic, and request that you write mc, if you are able to read this, for I am rather old to write. I have suffered six years from NERVOUS TROUBLE, caused by a fall, and my whole body remained In a tremble, but no pain. Every doctor I consulted failed to help me, and I was compelled to give up all housework. Then 1 read your advertisement and bought your medicine, and almost immediately after commencing its use I was a new woman. I hope you will write me at once, and tell mehow much money I must send, as I am anxious to get to using your medicine again soon.

PRENKERT Get bottle today The Publisher's Claims Sustained United States Court of Claims The Publishers of Webster's Internatleoai Dictkmary allege that it Is, iu acttbe popular Unabridged thoroughly reedited In every detail, and vastly enriched In every part, with the purpose of adapting it to meet the larger and severer requirements of another generation. We are of tbe opinion that this allegation most clearly and accurately describes the work that nas been accomplished and the result that has been reached. Tbe Dictionary, as it now stands, has been thoroughly re edited iu every detail, has been corrected in every part, and is admirably adapted to meet tbe larger and severer requirements of a generation which demands more of popular philological knowledge than any generation that the world has ever contained.

It is perhaps needless to add that we refer to tbe dictionary in our judicial work as of the highest authority in accuracy of dotini tion and that In the future as In tbe past it will be tbe source of constant reference.
