London, England—King George and Queen Mary returned to England from the most memorable journey ever undertaken by a king and queen of Great Britain. After an absence of three months, in which they had been crowned Emperor and Empress of India they were given a hearty welcome back to London. An interesting incident happened as their carriage passed the American embassy. King George stood up, turned toward the embassy and saluted the Stars and Stripes flying over the entrance. His action drew an additional cheer from the crowd in the vicinity. The enthusiasm of the crowds reached its climax at Buckingham palace. As the king and queen entered, the thousands who had assembled sang successively "God Save the King," "Auld Lang Syne," "Home, Sweet Home" and "He's a Jolly Good Fellow." Their majesties responded to this demonstration by appearing on the balcony. LORIMER STENOGRAPHER FIRED Blumenberg, Official Reporter Who Interrupted Witness Will be Prosecuted. Washington, D. C.—The Lorimer senatorial investigating committee dismissed Milton Blumenberg, its official reporter, because of his conduct at the hearing. Pending the disposition of the contempt charges against him, Blumenberg will be held as a committee witness. He is also an official reporter of the proceedings of the senate. Blumenberg declined to make a statement to the committee when called and the committee then adopted resolutions to prosecute him fo. contempt. Blumenberg interrupted a witness and shouted that the evidence about Charles McGowan was faked. MAY HAVE CHINESE COUNCILMAN Ambitious Oriental at Georgetown, Colo., Announces His Candidacy. Georgetown, Colorado.—Lee Gow, a Chinese, announced his candidacy for councilman here, filed the proper papers to obtain a place on the ballot, and started his campaign with an American campaign manager. The first step of Gow and his manager was to purchase silk top hats to complete their otherwise stylish attire, after which they started a house-to-house canvass for votes. Gow is said to be the first Chinese to run for office in America. He came to this country when he was 4 years old. Six Women Impersonating Men. Omaha, Neb.-According to the story of Mrs. P. J. Nelson, arrested here for impersonating a man, five other women of Omaha, Council Bluffs and Lincoln are going over the country wearing male attire and doing the work of men. Who these women were, Mrs. Nelson refused to say, further than that they were friends of hers. Miners Fear Tariff Changes.

THE WHITE HOPE CHICAGO EVENING POST CHICAGO EVENING POST SPECIAL MESSAGE ON LABOR SPECIAL MESSAGE ON LABOR PRESIDENT ALARMED OVER EXISTING CONDITIONS. Suggests Formation of Commission on Industrial Relations—Federal Road for Alaska Also. Washington, D. C.—Demand for immediate legislation to permit the beginning of the development of Alaska resources is made in a message on the work of the interior department and other matters sent to congress by President Taft. While making it plain that he does not indorse the wide principles of government ownership, nevertheless the president declares that, in justice to the Alaskan people and the United States, congress ought to open the way to allow the government to construct a railroad into the rich mineral fields of the territory. The chief questions among the "other matters" relate to the industrial disputes and to the high cost of living. The president, alarmed by the growing hostility between capital and labor, which twentieth century conditions are fostering, asks for $20,000 to finance a commission which shall prevent strikes and smooth the relations between employers and employees. President Taft recommended that this government take the initiative in the formation of an international commission which shall investigate the cause of the increase in the price of the necessities of life the world over. Alarmed by the industrial warfare abroad and by the growing hostility between capital and labor in this country, the president comes forward in his message with a proposition that a commission on industrial relations, which shall act as a sort of national mediator in times of dispute, be formed. ORGANIZE TO REDUCE SALARIES Taxpayers in Kansas Plan to Abolish Some State and County Offices. Burrton, Kansas.—The Taxpayers' Protective association, an order calculated to become great in this state, has been organized here by about 60 farmers of Harvey and Reno counties. The object is to reduce taxes and to abolish some of the state and county officers and reduce the salaries paid most of the others. Associations will be formed this week in several other adjoining townships. It was in Burrton that the first state headquarters of the Farmers' Alliance was established and farmers are pointing to that fact as indicating that the association will become an equally strong power in the state. END OF TOPEKA PENSION AGENCY Appropriation Bill Passes House Abolishing Seventeen Offices in Various Cities. Washington, D. C. — The pension appropriation bill, carrying about $152,000,000 passed the House by a vote of 245 to 33 after several had demanded a roll call vote. A provision excluding pensioners who live out of the United States was defeated by 160 to 133. The bill abolishes seventeen pension agencies which may have been maintained in different cities, including the agency at Topeka. Station Agent Robbed. Tecumseh, Nebraska.—A. H.

Y.—Preparations are being made by the Standard Oil company of Indiana, it is said, to slice a melon of $29,000,000 in stock next month. The company formerly was one of the 33 subsidiaries of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey. The annual meeting of the Indiana company will be held March 7 at Whiting, and stockholders will be asked, it is said, to vote an increase of $29,000,000 in the company's capital, which is at present $1,000,000. The additional $29,000,000 will then be turned over to the stockholders, it is generally reported, as a stock dividend of 2,900 per cent. There is a growing belief that the Indiana melon cutting is only the beginning of a number of capital increases among the Standard's subsidiaries whose capital only nominally represents the value of assets. It was the Standard Oil company of Indiana which in 1907 was fined $29,024,000 by Judge Landis of Illinois. ORGANIZED NEW FAIR CIRCUIT Missouri Towns Arrange Dates to Make Short Railroad Shipments. Mexico, Mo.—At a meeting of the representatives of Missouri cities along the line of the Chicago & Allen railroad, the preliminary organization of the Missouri short rail fair circuit was outlined in this city. The Bowling Green Fair association was represented by President M. O. Biggs and Mexico, Higginsville and Independence were also represented. The dates tentatively agreed upon and subject to the approval of the board of directors of the various associations composing the circuit are as follows: Bowling Green, July 30 to August 2; Mexico, August 6 to 9; Sturgeon, August 13 to 16; Higginsville, August 20 to 23; Independence, August 27 to 30. A uniform classification was agreed upon for racing programs. TEMPERED JUSTICE WITH MERCY Texas Judge Fines Mexican $600 and Lends Him Money to Pay Penalty. Galveston, Texas.—Joseph Donales Sandoval, sentenced at Brownsville to pay a fine of $600 on the charge of violating the neutrality laws, has squared the bill with money lent by the same judge who sentenced him. Sandoval was convicted January 5. Since that time he has been in prison at Laredo, unable to pay his fine. Compassion for the man prompted Judge Walter Burns to advance the money with which to settle with the government. Put Dynamite in Prison. Leavenworth, Kan.—Robert Baughman, a convict in the Kansas penitentiary at Lansing, has confessed to W. H. Mackey, deputy warden of the federal penitentiary here, that he and his brother, James, hid the four sticks of dynamite and 12 revolvers found by a guard November 30 inside the prison. Record Egg Price at Wichita. Wichita, Kan.-Eggs reached their highest price here when retailers paid $9.25 a case for them. They sold for 40 cents a dozen, an advance of five cents in one day. The storage egg supply has been exhausted and unless the hens come to the rescue within a few days there will be no eggs available here. Life Sentence for Murder Independence, Kansas.—Watt Foulk and Glenn Davis were sentenced here to life imprisonment for the murder of Israel Shadley, a groceryman, at his store in this city the night of September 19 last. Dynamite Jury Disagreed. Los Angeles, California.—The jury in the case of Bert H. Conners, accused of having attempted to destroy the Hall of Records with dynamite, reported to Judge Willis that it was unable to agree and was discharged. KEEP BACHELOR CLUB BUSY PUBLICITY RESULTS IN RECEIPT OF LETTERS BY THOUSAND. Rural Route Carrier Threatens to Quit—Fifty Notes Have Come From England. Garden City, Kansas—The Grant County Bachelors' club, organized in December to get wives for the members, already has received more than 3,000 letters from women all over the United States, Canada and England, who are desirous of a husband in the Kansas "short grass" country. In view of the publicity given the club the members say a catalog is now unnecessary, the women who write the letters being willing to deal on a sight unseen basis. But the members of the club are going to be loyal to Kansas. Since nearly 1,000 of the letters have come from Kansas girls, the members of the club do not believe it will be necessary to draw on other states. The members, however, are willing to help other similar clubs along and will turn over to them letters from women in other states, so that every bachelor in the state who is seeking a wife may have an opportunity to get one. The headquarters of the Grant County Bachelors' club is at New Ulysses and all the mail is carried overland from here. The carrier, who is not a bachelor, says he is losing money on his job now because the mail to and from the bachelors' club has doubled the weight of his daily load. He threatens to throw up his job unless the bachelors' club quits its "dumb foolishness." The letters come from every state in the Union and every province of Canada, and an even 50 have come from England. NATURAL GAS PRICE STAYS DOWN Kansas Wins Fight Against Trust and Rate is to Remain at Twenty- Five Cents. Topeka, Kansas.—The suits of the state against the Kansas Natural Gas company, involving an injunction to prevent an increase in the price of natural gas and prosecutions of violations of the Kansas anti-trust law to collect penalties aggregating more than $500,000 have been settled. The papers in the settlement will be signed the last of the week. They are all ready now and simply await the return of Gov. Stubbs. John Marshall, attorney for the utilities commission, who brought the injunction suit to prevent the increase in gas rates, and John Dawson, attorney general, who brought the outster and penalty suits, and the attorneys for the company have agreed on the detailed settlement and the amounts to be paid in penalties. There is never to be an increase in the price of natural gas in Kansas. It will always remain at 25 cents a thousand cubic feet for domestic use. The Kansas Natural also agrees to make new contracts with the distributing companies, so that the antitrust laws will not be violated. It is asserted the penalties the company must pay will aggregate $25,000 and will be distributed in eight counties of the state. ARRESTED FOR GIVING PASSES St. Joseph Street Car Company Refuses to Quit Carrying City Officials Free. St. Joseph, Mo.-Two warrants were issued for John Van Brunt, general manager of the street railway company, charging him with issuing passes to public officials in violation of the state law. It is alleged passes were issued to Chief Haskell and the city license inspector, Mr. McGreevy. In the trial of a case against Van Brunt for issuing passes to Dr. C. R. Byrd, county coroner, he was acquitted. Judge Arch Davis of Chillicothe sat in the case for Judge Thomas F. Ryan of the Buchanan county criminal court, and held that Byrd performed service for the transportation. When the prosecuting attorney proposed to drop further proceedings against the street railway company officials if they would stop issuing passes to public officials they refused. Edwardsville, Illinois.—A hog killed by Charles Lexow of Mitchell, this county, yielded a gold nugget, said by a jeweler to be worth $4. Lexow, who is head of the Madison County Farmers' institute, recently bought the hog from a neighbor, and he does not know whether the animal picked up the gold on his or his neighbor's farm. New Head of University. Chicago, Illinois—The Rev. Alexander J. Burrowes, S. J., president of Loyola university here, resigned and left for St. Louis to become president of St. Louis university.

Y.—The government brought three actions against the Erie railroad for violation of the 16-hour law in relation to employees. The suits involve 51 offenses at $500 for each offense.

Esther, a five-year-old daughter of North side parents, heard much about the dangers of diphtheria, and was eager to observe every precaution to keep from coming into contact with it, that she and her two brothers might not "catch it." One day she insisted on going to the grocery on the corner to spend her penny, and was warned by her mother not to stop and play with any children she might meet on the way. After having been gone only a few minutes, she rushed into the house much excited, exclaiming as she entered: "Mamma, you must keep 'ose boys away from Mr. A.'s house, 'cause they have diphtheria and have a sign up." Her mother said: "Is that so? What does the sign say?" "It says f-o-r s-a-l-e," said Esther.—Indianapolis News. Hobby of Wealthy Englishman.

A recent notable instance of this trend was found in the provision of an impressive memo- rlal structure on the famous “Lincoln farm” tn Kentucky. The erection of this monumental edifice, which was dedicated by President Taft only a few months ago, represents but one phase of an ambitious project to restore and protect the birthplace of Lincoln and the scene of his early life, making {t, as it should be, & patriotic mecca to which great numbers of Lincoln’s fellow-countrymen will make pilgrim- ages just as they do to the home of George Washington at Mount ‘Vermonpand.to.the home ‘and tomb of Thomas Jefferson at Charlottes- ville, Virginia. Even more pretentious is the project now before congress for a $2,000,000 memorial to Lincoin that shall be in the fullest sense a tribute from the reunited nation. Visitors to the seat of government In recent years have often expressed wonder that whereas there are in Washington appropriate testimonials to the Father of His Country and other national {dols, there has been no memorial commensu- rate with the commanding place which Lin coln has occupled in the history of the coun try. The government has not been uncon- scious of this lack, but merely deferred action until such time as there could be provided a tribute worthy of the great man who inspired ft. This 1s now assured, owing to the liberal sum that will be expended in this labor of love. From the time it was decided that the occa- sion had arrived for congress to take definite action with reference to a national Lincoln memorial there has been- discussion and dit. ference of opinion as to the form which this acknowledgment of the nation’s gratitude should take. Most of the men having voice in the matter seem to have come to the con- clusion that the ideal memorial will be a mas- aiye monumental structure—a sort of temple vf fame to be built of white marble on the banke ef ' Potomac at Washington and adorned statues of Lincoln and repre- genta persons and events conspieu- bus! ‘ed with his career. The effect wor » of course, to create a companion patri tic shrine to that at George Washing- ton's Mount Vernon estate a few miles farther flown the same river. However, many persons of prominence have all along argued in favor of other forms of memorial. A memorial bridge between the national capital and the national cemetery at Arlington beyond the Potomac has repeatedly been suggested and so has a memorial arch, — : aS ee ENE Senator Teller Relates Anecdote of | of course, were all decorous First Campaign for the away, from the convention Presidency. would be exceedingly bad — one of them to appear nea Senator Teller of Colorado tells a| vention.

The proposal has been to construct this highway as a connecting lnk between the natfonal cap- ital and the battlefield at Gettysburg where Lincoln delivered his immortal speech. The chief objection to this scheme is that the highway could be used and enjoyed only by people who had automobiles or other vehicles of their own or the means to hire such con- veyances, While on the subject of these elaborate Lin- coln memorials it may be noted that first place in this category belongs, of course, to the Lin- coln tomb at Springfield, Mlinois. The monu- ment to Lincoln at Springfield, allke to the monuments to our other martyr presidents— Garfield and McKinley—tis not merely public Dut national, For the Lincoln monument the sum of $200,000 was collected. Of this sum $28,000 came from the soldiers of the Civil war, and $8,000 of this amount was contributed by the negro troops out of the first money they ever earned. The Lincoln monument has had to be reconstructed several times and entirely rebuilt once, owing to the character of the foundation, and these circumstances necess!- tated the removal of Lincoln's body, which, all told, has been moved some ten or twelve times since the original burial. Certainly one of the most commendable of of course, were all decorously keeping away, from the convention city. It would be exceedingly bad form for ‘one of them to appear near the con: vention.

Mr. Lincoln protested that he didn’t have any chance worth bothering about. Mr. Teller insisted that there was an excellent chance, and that the proprieties would have to be ob- Served in these little matters. The New England people were punctilious about such affairs of form. At last Mr. Lincotn yielded. “Tl go,” he said. “I'll do it be cause I believe you fellows are right. Any conyention that got a good look at me couldn't be expected to nom- inate me, could it? I'll have a better chance if they don’t even find out what I look like.” And at midnight, without half a dozen of the politicians knowing he had been in town, aside from his il Mnols friends, he was put on the train A new story on Lincoln emanates from the navy depaftment; but the great emancipator’s “way to do it” in this case would be rather dangerous for general adoption, Early in the war a naval captain decided to enter the Confederate service. His wife pleaded with him to remain with the Union, not only because of loyalty but because it meant the support of his family. But the resignation was dispatched to the department at Washington, and the wife, left alone with her little family, decided that she would go to the cap- ftol and would herself see if some thing could not be done. At the navy department she tu'd her story, but the officials sald tha’ all the existing memorials to Lincoln {s the Lincoln Memorial University of Claiborne county, Tennessee, which was founded by Gen. 0. 0. Howard, one of the most devoted of Lin- coln’s admirers, and the object of which {s to venefit the people from whom Lincoln sprang, the mountaineers of the Cumberland Gap re- gion. The grounds of the untversity contain six hundred acres and there are several build- ings upon them, although more are needed. The university was chartered by the State of Tennessee on Lincoln’s birthday in 1897 and has already performed a tremendous service for the people of an fsolated region which may be said to offer-no other similar educa tional advantages. It has been claimed that owing to the handicap which Lincoln himself sustained In early life, owing to ignorance and poverty, he would, if he could choose, probably prefer this memorial in the Tennessee moun- tains to any other that could be teared to his memory. Of the numerous statues of Lincoln which have place in citfes and town all over the United States the most notable, from an artis- tic standpoint, ere two executed by the late Augustus St. Gaudens, Amercia’s greaest sculptor, Both of these statues are figures of herole size. One which represents Lincoln standing has been erected fn Lincoln Park in the city of Chicago, whereas the other, which Lincoln’s “Way To Do It.” and started back to Springtield. Three days later he was the nominee of the Republican party for the presidency. Mr. Lincoln regarded himself as the homeliest man in the country and once told a friend that it was getting the yotes of the people who were thankful for not being homely that elected him. she was quite too late, because the resignation had been accepted, Final- ly the secretary, touched by her ap- peal, suggested that there was one person in the country who might do something for her—that was Presi- dent Lincoin, With her Juncheon basket on her arm and with her little tots tugging at her skirts, she made her way to the White House. She found the pres- ident, and he, having heard her story, at once sent over for the secretary of the navy, that he might see the papers in the case. The secretary, who was himself won to the cause, resented the facts. As Lincoin looked t the anxious little wife, he asked: “Mr. Secretary, is there no way that Ying. Mr. Lincoln himself assisted in remoy- ing the mask, a particularly difficult task ow- ing to his high cheekbones, but the undertak- ing was entirely successful, the mask coming off in one piece and being especially satisfac- tory in that {t included the impress of both ears—something that in many instances must be omitted in the securance of a life mask. One of the most interesting of all the Lin coln statues is the bronze figure in Lincoln Park at Washington, which shows Lincoln freeing the slave—an emblematic figure of the great emancipator striking the shackles from the hands of a kneeling negro. The signifi- cant feature in connection with this unique statue is that it was erected by money con- tributed through popular subscription by the freed slaves. Another interesting memorial to Lincoln at the capital he saved is found in a simple silver plate on the pew which he always occupied in the church, a few blocks from the White House, of which he was a member. Congress has paid $30,000 for the house in which Lincoln died, and will, in all probability, in time convert it into a Lincoln Memorial Museum under governmental aus- pices. This will involve the expenditure of considerable money, because the building is now closely hemmed in by other bufldings which ought to be torn down fn order to prop- erly safeguard the historic building against fire. The city of New York, which has notable memorials to so many of the nation’s heroes, {s deficient in testimonials to Lincoln, but this lack is soon to be remedied if the project Igunched by Joseph H. Choate and other prom- inent New Yorkers meets with success, This” contemplates the erection in the metropolis. of some fitting memorial, possibly a magntf- cent arch such as the Arch of Triumph, which 1s one of the chief glories of Paris.

He exam- ined the document carefully and then deliberately tore it across and into shreds. “This,” he said, turning to the secretary and to the little mother, “this 1s one way to do it.” Thus the officer remained with the Union because of his wife and the president, and the service-record of this southern captain is among the brightest in the annals of our naval history.—“Affairs at Washington,” by Joe Mitchell Chapple, tn National Magazine.

The offering Saturday, Feb. 17, at the New Crawford theatre is a partic ularly happy one, as it brings to Wicn- ita at this time that wonderfully sue- cessful musical comedy, “The Pink | Lady,” which has been Klaw & Erlan- gers triumph of the decade, which has just closed its run of a year at the Home theater in New York, wher? tt Temained for a few less than 400 per- formances and was seen by 567,923 people. It seems a tardy time to introduce “The Pink Lady” to local readers for so much has been heard of it, and ev erybody is familiar with one or two ot its delightful numbers, but in all (ruth less than twenty cities have enjoyed the pleasure of its presentatioa upon the local boards. We are therefure quite fortunate in being able to see it this early in its career of established favor and brilliant promise, ‘This happy combination of book tyr- {es and melodic score was written by M, 8, McClellan and Ivan Caryll. ‘The former adapted the story after the French farce “Le Satyre” which ran for a year at the Palais Royale in Par- is, Georges Berr and Marcel Guttle- maud, its authors have been signally successful. Mr. Caryll has a number of Gaity Theatre hits to his credit but in none has he given us a work to equal the delights of “The Pink Lady.” However, it is in the combination of book and score that it really shines for they are interdependent and one heightens the effect of the other. As for its story “The Pink Lacy* has a well worked out plot that de- pends for its humor upon its situations and cleverly contrived incidents. its central figure is a docile dealer in an- tiques in Paris who allows himself to be dragged into a scrape in order to help a young fellow out of a predica- ment. Having once agreed to assumo @ part not suited to him the further complication develops of the Innocent dealer being mistaken for a satyr whose escapades have stirred even Paris to excitement. From then for- ward the plot bubbles with all the in- genuous happenings that are crowded into a French farce and poor Dondidier has an awful time, But it is good, mer- ry fun and not a suggestion of any- thing but wholesome amusement and its surprises are so frequent that the audience is kept in an uproar. Kiaw & Erlanger have made a real- ly notable production of this delight- ful story. Its three scenes are mar- vels of good taste and color harmony and the blending of tne costumes into the scenes but make them the more toneful and effective. With all these gorgeous details considered it is not surprising that the “Pink Lady” has ewjoyed the most phenomenal yogue of any similar piece ever made known to the American stage. ‘A matter of further charm is the fact that the Pink Lady orchestra comes with the organization to bring out every subtle note and quality of the score, ‘The company is an unusually large one, comprising in all about 100 peo- ple and the principals are named for their individual fitness to the roles to be portrayed rather than any regard as to former rating or standing in the field. “The Indian." For week ending Feb. 10, the Wolfe Stock will present for the first time In Wichita, one‘ of Robert Hdeson’s great. est successes, ““The Indian.” “The Indian” will be one of the most stupendous productions ever staged by Mr..Wolfe during his long stay at the Auditorium. Some idea or its masstve- ness may be obtained when it is made known that an entire company of sol- diers are used in one of the scenes. A tribe of Indians and several horses are also used in the production. ‘The story of the play deals with the famous Okalala tribe of Indians right after the time of the great Custer massacre. However, all of the scenes are not of the wild type as the first two acts are laid in Washington, D. C. Mr. Richardson will be seen in Mr. Edeson’s part, that of the double role of “Rex, the Indian king,” and “Red Feather,” chief of the Ogalalas, Miss Morgan will have the role of “The White Lily,” a part that is wortay of her wonderful ability. The balance of the company are excellently cast and with such material to work with as “The Indian,” the foremost production of the season Is assured, “His Last Dollar.” No play the Wolfe Stock ever pro- duced has caused the sensation among Its patrons that “His Last Dollar” did some weeks ago. The play fsirly ereated a furore among Wichita the- ater-goers and they are still talking about it. So many requests have come to Mr. Wolfe to repeat this bill on ac- count of the number who were unable to secure seats at its first presenta- dion, that he has decided to repeat it for four nights only.

"Last year, however, I suffered for eight months without interruption so that I could not do any work at all. The various medicines that were prescribed brought me no relief. "After taking six bottles of Peruna, two of Lacupia and two of Manalin, I am free of my trouble so that I can do all my farm work again. I can heartily recommend this medicine to any one who suffers with this annoying complaint and believe that they will obtain good results." DIDN'T THINK SHE WAS TIRED Mr. Jinks' Mean Insulation When Young Lady Dispossessed Him of His Seat. "That was adding insult to injury," said Representative Mann, the minority leader of the house, apropos of a political squabble. "It reminds me of young Jinks. "Late one night young Jinks sat in a crowded trolley car, and, when a girl he knew got aboard and stood directly in front of him, he made no sign. His face hidden by his newspaper, he pretended that he didn't know the girl would like to have his seat." "After awhile she spoke. "Good evening, Mr. Jinks." "Why, good evening." "I've been to the Primrose social dance." "Indeed." "Then, after a pause, she added: "It's a wonder, Mr. Jinks, you wouldn't offer me your seat!" "Jinks then got up. He was very angry. He said, as he hooked himself to a strap: "I thought you wouldn't want it; for, as you said you'd been to a dance, I knew you must have been sitting all the evening." Useless. "Why don't you make up your mind to cease permitting your wife to henpeck you?" "I have made it up half a dozen times, but it doesn't seem to do any good at all.

I thought I should certainly become insane. I was so reduced in flesh that I was little better than a living skeleton. The doctors failed to give me relief and I despaired of recovery. "One day our groceryman left a package of Grape-Nuts food by mistake, so I tried some for dinner. I was surprised to find that it satisfied my appetite and gave me no distress whatsover. The next meal I ate of it again, and to be brief, I have lived for the past year almost exclusively on Grape-Nuts. It has proved to be a most healthful and appetizing food, perfectly adapted to the requirements of my system. "Grape-Nuts is not only easily digested and assimilated, but I find that since I have been using it I am able to eat anything else my appetite fancies, without trouble from indigestion. The stomach trouble and nervousness have left me, I have regained my plumpness and my views of life are no longer despondent and gloomy.

Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he withdrew doubtless the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all to William A. Radford, No. 178 West Jackson boulevard, Chicago, IL, and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. If you ever 'get married, and start housekeeping in a neat little cottage that you could dress to your liking, making it look comfortable and cozy? If have never had that pleasure, you will regret your misfortune as soon as you study the possibilities of the little house design here shown, unless you already have something along this line in prospect. The time was, when life in a cottage meant discomfort, confinement to two or three rooms that were awkward, badly arranged, and barelooking, in spite of every effort to make them home-like. There was a shivery bedroom opening off the kitchen, and a squeaky, boxed-in stairway which led to the unfinished or rough-plastered loft where the other sleeping quarters were found. But women demanded so many changes for the better in small houses, that architects have wonderfully improved their designs for homes of this class in recent years. They have found out how to put lumber and other building materials together to form very pretty five-room and six-room houses—a thing they considered unworthy of their time and ingenuity not many years ago. The fact is, it is much more difficult to make a good, little house than to make a good, satisfactory, large house. The planning of a small house runs into a thousand difficulties: in 1 fact, architects are checkmated about every third move when they try to make a thousand-dollar cottage cater to the refined and cultivated tastes of girls who have been accustomed to good homes. Formerly love in a cottage meant happiness during warm weather only. At the approach of fall it was necessary to go and visit mamma or hunt boarding house. The sympathy of friends followed the young turtle doves into their little suburban seclusion, because their friends knew that inconvenience lurked in every corner DINING ROOM 12'0"X14'6" KITCHEN 9'0"X11'0" BUNNY LIVING ROOM 12'0"X14'0" HALL 12'0"X14'0" PORCH First Floor Plan. of the little habitation of four walls, bare and utterly devoid of artistic beauty, and as innocent of modern conveniences as the cabins of our forefathers, without their redeeming big, wood-burning fireplaces. But the old-time sympathy has changed to new-time envy. The girl with a fiveroom modern cottage now has as much comfort, less worry, and more time for social duties and fancy work, than the more ambitious young lady who marries into an eight or tenroom house with the usual responsibilities. For about $1,100 this cozy little combination of three rooms downstairs and two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs can be built in almost any of our smaller cities or towns. The living room, dining-room and kitchen are perfect in arrangement. They are large enough for two at all times, with room for occasional company; and they are light and airy, and can be made very pretty. Nobody wants a "parlor" any more; parlors are out of date. We want a large, pleasant "living room" that we can decorate with pearl-tinted wall and ceiling decorations, and furnish with good, comfortable, every-day conveniences which are good to see and not too good to use. We want a big couch or davenport, with at least a dozen pillows of appropriate sizes, covered with soft material in colors to match the other decorations. We BED ROOM 11'0X11'0" CLOS BATH ROOM 6'X6' CLOS BED ROOM 11'0X11'0" Second Floor Plan. want a morris chair by the window and, in one corner, shelves containing our favorite books. We like to decorate the walls with pictures that smile back our ideas of cheerfulness. In this room we receive our friends, and enjoy our evenings together when at home alone. We go upstairs from the front hall THE HOME OF THE FAMILY in a Christian-like manner, where we have a bedroom for ourselves, with another to spare, and a good, comfortable bathroom between. Advantage is taken of the low roof to design several clothes closets. Every girl wants plenty of such accommodations whether she needs them or not. Where you have plenty of storage room of this kind, you don't need an attic; so these closets are economical as well as useful. What an interesting little home this is for young folks! It is not necessary that they should always remain in a little cottage. They may branch out when prosperity smiles if they want to; but in after years, when the silver hairs appear and they have quit romping with the children, they will confide to their friends that they never enjoyed life anywhere as they did in the little five-room cottage they began with. DENTAL ART IS AN OLD ONE People of Early History Not Only Knew All About It, but Also Did Good Work. Dentistry, though considered peculiarly modern, has been found highly developed in the past. Actual specimens of ancient dentistry may be seen in various European museums. The most interesting of these specimens, because the oldest, is a Phoenician example of bridgework found in a tomb at Sidon. The specimen is now in the Louvre at Paris, and consists of a woman with the teeth united by gold wire. Two of them are transplanted teeth fastened in by gold wire. In the museum of Cornette (which was the ancient Tarquinit, the capital of the Etruscan federation) may be seen a number of marvelous specimens of dental work of the sixth and seventh centuries before Christ. They consist mainly of bridgework done by riveted bands of metal. The satricic poets of Rome, especially Martial, refer frequently to artificial teeth. Martial speaks of an old woman who was so scared that as she ran away her teeth fell out. In one epigram he answers the question who one woman's teeth are dark, while another's are white, though both are of the same age, by saying that one of them buys her teeth, while the other has her own. The Romans had a number of different kinds of deprifices, and took great care of the teeth. Chestnut Lodge By A. MARIA CRAWFORD (Copyright 1911, by Associated Literary Press.) "I am so glad," said Polly Moore, "that I came a day before your other guests, Aunt Phoebe. It gives me an opportunity to have a comfortable talk with you."

I believe I will catch your headache," moaned Polly. " isn't it too bad that we dislike each other when you love us both and want to pair us off like cooing doves?" "There is one thing that puzzles me, Polly. You have never seen Bob, he has never caught a glimpse of you, yet you claim that hate boils in your hearts. It isn't reasonable—mere prejudice! Somebody carried tales, yet neither of you will give the sulphur away." Polly glanced up at her Aunt Phoebe with mischief lurking in her blue eyes. "What will you give me to make this young person change his opinion of me? Chestnut lodge?" "That's not fair. Polly. I have willed you everything I have except this house and grounds. I promised it to Bob when he was thirty and I can't go back on my promise. The fact of the matter is that I have had it attended to legally. Bob gets the place next year." "This house is the only thing in the world that I actually want. Look at these high ceilings, this wainscoating, the beautiful old mahogany and rosewood furniture, the rugs—all to go to a man that I despise! Why do you love him so, Aunt Phoebe? He isn't related in any way and I am your own sister's child." Aunt Phoebe sat looking pensively in the fire where the big logs were blazing. Her face, crowned with its soft white hair, appeared singularly youthful and there was a reminiscent tenderness in her eyes. "Polly," she said, "I am going to tell you why I love Bob Gaines and why I expect to give to him this house next year. He will be thirty then. His father courted me in this very room. I loved him, but I was a foolish young thing and flirted with everybody. You remind me of what I was in those days. He said that if I loved him I must give up all my other admirers. We quarreled about it—and he married Bob's mother." "Oh, Aunt Phoebe dear, I didn't dream of anything like that. How often I must have hurt you! How true you have been through all these long, lonely years—true just to a memory. That," said Polly softly, her arms tight about the straight, aristocratic old figure, "this is what I call love! Everything in this room is suddenly fragrant with romance." Miss Phoebe smiled at the eager young face so near her own. "Be kind to Bob when he comes. It is almost dark now, and a good night's sleep is what I need. My headache is really severe." Polly changed her traveling dress for a filmy little gown that looked as if it had been made of moonlight. The diamonds on her breast gleamed like stars in a summer sky. Why did she feel so antagonistic to Bob Gaines? She sat musing in the great chair that Miss Phoebe always occupied when sh was downstairs. It was all because of a chance remark of the man's, made soon after the announcement that Polly Moore would inherit all her Aunt Phoebe's estate, that is, everything except Chestnut Lodge, the beautiful stone house built on a farm. Edith Tyson had told Polly what Bob Gaines was reputed to have said at his club. "I suppose people will say that I ought to hunt up Polly Moore and marry her to get the rest of Miss Phoebe's wealth, but no spoiled flirt for me." "Well," Polly had answered when Edith had repeated the remark, "the next time you see that young man please say that I would rather be an old maid than to marry an idle, red-headed Irishman. Aunt Phoebe told me his hair was red." The message had been promptly delivered, and Polly and Bob had thereafter avoided each other. When James switched on the lights in the hall Polly saw a good looking stra.ger standing there, a suitcase beside him. His hair, she noticed with a start of surprise, was not red, but brown. When he had made himself presentable and entered the drawing room, Polly extended her hand cordially. "At last we meet, Mr. Gaines. I am Polly Moore, as you probably know." "One of the maids tells me that your aunt is indisposed. I am very sorry, but at the same time a little glad for it gives me a nice long evening with you." Polly exerted all her efforts to charm the man. She remembered the sweet story of her Aunt Phoebe's romance and her heart was warm for this young fellow who might have been Miss Phoebe's own son. The man himself seemed strangely ill at ease, but Polly attributed it to the fact of their hitherto violent hatred. "That cabinet over there of curios is worth a small fortune," he said, indicating a quaint hand-carved piece of furniture. "That amethyst necklace that belonged to some queen, I believe, is very valuable." "Yes, indeed. Are you interested in Aunt Phoebe's collection? I think that she is very foolish to leave such things here even if she does have a sort of double lock, don't you?" "Yes, but I suppose she trusts her servants." Polly excused herself presently. She wanted to run upstairs and ask about Aunt Phoebe before dinner, she said. When she reached the landing she heard a strange noise and went quickly down again thinking that a log had fallen from the fire and that she could help Bob put it back in place. What she saw fairly paralyzed her. For a woman, she thought very quickly, and reached up to get a loaded pistol that Aunt Phoebe always kept on a high stand in the hall. Then she covered the man where he knelt before the famous cabinet slipping the jeweled necklace in his pocket. "Hands up! I think," she said, coolly, "that I can shoot pretty straight. To think that you would steal from Aunt Phoebe!" The man cowered before the loot in her face. "It's all a joke," he whimpered just as the door bell rang. When Polly heard James enter the hall she spoke to him quietly, without taking her eyes from the Surglar. "Hurry up, James, and see who is there. Be careful. Then come here." "Well, hello, James. How's Aunt Phoebe? Tell her Bob's here," Polly heard a deep voice say. "What the devil does this mean?" "Come and help me. I have caught a gentleman thief." It took very little time for Bob and James to replace the valuables and tie their prisoner hand and foot. Then James and a big burly fellow from the stables stood guard over him in a locked room until the sheriff could arrive. Phoebe was shaking before the fire when Bob went back to her. He handed her a glass of wine. "I-I can't hold it," sobbed Polly. "I am scared to death." "After you have been so brave? Here, I'll hold it. Drink it all." But Polly's coolness had disappeared. "I—I can't, I tell you. Why, he could have murdered me and I—I talked to him about everything. Oh!" wailed Polly. "T'll never get over this—never!" Bob put his strong, steady arm around her and held the wine to her mouth. "Poor little girl!" he said soothingly. "Brace up. That was the bravest thing I ever saw a girl do. Nice scheme of that thief's. One of the malds was a confederate and she put him on to my coming and Aunt Phoebe's headache. He is certainly a bold, bad man. I admire you for what you did, even if you don't like red heads." Polly glanced up where the fire-light showed on Bob's hair. "When, when I said that," she stammered, "I—I didn't know it was such a beautiful red." Two hours later Miss Phoebe, feeling better, come into the room softly and saw two figures before the dancing flames. Polly's fair curls rested perilously near the auburn locks of her favorite. "This doesn't look exactly like hatred," she declared. "It isn't," laughed Bob. "It's a case of old-fashioned love. Polly is going to marry me." "You watch her, Bob," cautioned Miss Phoebe, "Polly is marrying you for this house." "That's all right," agreed Bob cheerfully. "I don't care how, why or what her reasons may be, just so she marries me." Polly helped Miss Phoebe to her big chair. "It had to be, Aunt Phoebe," she whispered. "I am the spirit of your love. Bob is the spirit of his father's. The memories in this room just reached out and drew our hearts together." Motor Cars As Fly Swatters. Probably no street odor is more aggravating to the average person than the gaseous vapor from the engine of a motor car. Yet that pervasive odor has a beneficent use of its own—or at least scientists say it has. One of the learned gentlemen, Dr. Edward Halford Ross of London, declares that motor vehicles are the most effective agencies for the extermination of files. The vapors from these vehicles, he points out, are sure death to insects coming into contact with them, and in support of that view he holds that files have disappeared almost entirely from those districts in London in which motor cars are in general use. The same condition, he believes, will be found to prevail in other great cities. One thing is conceded, and that is that stables once used for horses, but since converted into garages, are absolutely free from files. Wisdom From the Wed. Singleton — it's wonderful that love will enable a fellow to see in a girl that he never saw before. Wedmore — Yes, and it's equally wonderful what love won't let him see that he'll see later on. ★★ Brewer's Rule. It was common knowledge that as twelve o'clock noon the wealthy brewer called in all the poor men in the neighborhood who warmed themselves over store and factory gratings and made them small presents of food, clothing or money. The brewery gratings alone possessed no occupants. "We don't dare stand there on account of the fumes," said one unfortunate who had been requested to vacate the trunkmaker's grating. "He won't give to anybody who smells beer." 'Helpt wanted.' "I ask Neilsen what in the world that extra 'j' was doing at the end of the word, especially as, even in Swedish, it is not pronounced. "Oh, it is just there, I suppose, said Neilsen. "But now that you don't pronounce the letter why don't you people drop it altogether? It looks so silly to have a letter there you don't pronounce." "Well," said Neilsen, "I suppose we keep it there for the same reason you hang on to the "p" in pneumonia."—New York Herald.

SEVEN YEARS OF MISERY How Mrs. Bethune was Restored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Sikeston, Mo. — "For seven years I suffered everything. I was in bed for four or five days at a time every month, and so weak I could hardly walk. I had cramps, backache and headache, and was so nervous and weak that I dreaded to see anyone or have anyone move in the room. The doctors gave me medicine to ease me at four or five days at time every month, and so weak I could hardly walk. I had cramps, backache and headache, and was so nervous and weak that I dreaded to see anyone or have anyone move in the room. The doctors gave me medicine to ease me at those times, and said that I ought to have an operation. I would not listen to that, and when a friend of my husband's told him about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and what it had done for his wife, I was willing to take it. Now I look the picture of health and feel like it, too. I can do all my own housework, work in the garden and entertain company and enjoy them, and can walk as far as any ordinary woman, any day in the week. I wish I could talk to every suffering woman and girl, and tell them what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me."—Mrs. DEMA BETHUNE, Sikeston, Mo. Remember, the remedy which did this was Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It has helped thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing down feeling, indigestion, and nervous prostration, after all other means have failed.

PISO'S THE BEST MEDICINE for COUGHS & GOLDS WOMEN AND HEALTH: Women are beginning to realize more fully that good health is not to be found in the use of cosmetics and face powders. The appearance of health may follow facial treatment, but health itself lies much deeper than the surface. Most important to the health of every woman is regularity of the bowels and digestive organs. The weary eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches, pimples and general air of lassitude, is in most every case due to constipation or indigestion, or both. There are various remedies prescribed for this condition, but the easiest, most pleasant and certainly effective, is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin known to druggists as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This simple remedy is far preferable to harsh salts and cathartics and violent purgative waters that disturb the whole system without affording more than temporary relief. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a tonic laxative, mild in its action, pleasant to the taste and positive in its effect, strengthening the muscles of stomach and bowels so that after a short time these organs regain the power to perform their natural functions without assistance. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists everywhere in 50c and $1.00 bottles. If you have never tried it, write for a sample to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 201 Washington St., Monticello, Ill.; he will gladly send a trial bottle without any expense to you whatever. THE USUAL WAY. Mrs. Jones—Through her husband's pockets. Both Wrong. A ludicrous story is told on an Edinburgh balle, whose studies in natural history seem to have been limited. The following case came before him one day: A man who kept a ferret having to go into the country, left the cage with the ferret in charge of a neighbor till he should return. The neighbor incautiously opened the cage door, and the ferret escaped. The owner was very angry, and brought a claim against him for damages. The following was the decision of the learned balle: "Nae doot," he said to the neighbor; "nae doot ye was wrang to open the cage door; "but," he added, turning to the owner, "ye was wrang, too. What for did ye no clip the brute's wings?" Explained. "Heigho!" sighed Mrs. Stoutly. "You used to sit with your arm around my waist, John, but you never do it any more."

Postum Cereal Company, Limited Battle Creek, Michigan INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON By Rev, William Evans, D. D., Director Bible Course Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 11. THE BOY JESUS IN THE TEMPLE. LESSON TEXT-Luke 2:40-52. GOLDEN TEXT—"How is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business."—Luke 2:49. MEMORY VERSES 46, 47. This lesson is the one solitary instance recorded in the strangely sealed thirty years of the Master's life. Here is an illustration of what is meant by the inspiration of election—only those things that were of vital and redemptive importance in the life of Jesus are recorded. John says, "Many other signs truly did Jesus which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name." For this reason, we should value every word that is written. The lesson furnishes a model in character building for the youth. Jesus is the example, and the model boy. Jesus was a real boy. He ate, drank, played, grew, asked questions, just as other boys do. His character, like all other character building, was a growth: "He increased in wisdom and stature." No character is instantaneous; it is the work of growth and of years, indeed, of a lifetime. An icicle is formed drop by drop. Character is formed by single words and acts. A mushroom may grow in a night, but surely not the character of a man. Just as words and sentences are formed by means of the single letters of the alphabet, so words, thoughts, deeds, actions, looks, motives—these are the alphabet from which we spell character. Sow a thought, and reap a word; sow a word, and reap an act; sow an act, and reap a habit; sow a habit, and reap a character; sow a character, and reap a destiny. Christ's character was developed in the home. He had a Christian home—the greatest gift of God this side of heaven. What chance has many a child today to build character in a home where the parents know not God, never read the Bible, never pray, never go to church! If for no other reason, parents should become Christians for their children's sake. If our children are lost, we parents are to blame, unless we have set before them the example of a Christian life. As a boy, Christ was obedient to his parents. This was a manly thing. Parents are in the place of God to the child: God cannot be everywhere, so he made parents. The first commandment on the second table is obedience to parents, and it is the first commandment with a promise. The apron strings of the mother may become the reins of government of the nation. We must obey before we can command. The character of Jesus was developed in the church also. His parents were churchgoers, and they had cultivated that habit in the child. In speaking of Jesus as a churchgoer, Luke says that "as his custom was, he went into the synagogue." What great thoughts must have come to the mind of Christ as he visited the temple! What dormant potentialities were aroused as he sat and listened to the exposition of God's word! Humanly speaking, Christ owed a great deal in the development of his character to his attendance at the temple. Can a symmetrical character be produced outside of the church and religion? We think not; certainly the best character cannot be produced in one who ignores these. In spite of all her failures, the church is the best institution in the world today for the building of character. We do our children a great wrong when we deprive them of the privileges of the church. But Jesus was also a member of the Bible school—the teaching part of the church. This is evident from the fact that the instruction received was in answering and asking questions. No doubt many of the Scripture passages quoted by him were learned in the Jewish Bible school. The boy Jesus was an interested as well as an interesting scholar in the school. He was no mere visitor. He came with a well prepared lesson, and that indicated that he had studied the lesson at home under the instruction of his parents. What a lesson for parents today! Have you ever considered how many great and noble men the Sunday school of our land have been instrumental in producing? Did you ever think how many of the most influential men of the world today give their time to Sunday school work, thereby recognizing the power that their own early training in the Sunday school had been in their lives? Consider the great characters that have played upon the stage of American history—or the history of the world over for that matter—and you will find that a great part, if not the greatest part of the credit for the splendid characters possessed by these noble men and women is to be given to religion and the church. "For what are men better than sheep or goats That nourish a blind life within the brain, If knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer Both for themselves and those who call them friend." You Look Prematurely Old JUST A LITTLE TOO HASTY Mr. Newlywed Resented What He Con- They were on their wedding tour, and imagined that every civility given them related to their new condition of servitude. Having stopped at a way station, the bridegroom was approached by the station agent, who asked: "Are you going to take the next train?" "It's none of your business," retorted the bridegroom, indignantly, as he guided the bride up the platform, where they condoled with each other over the impertinence of some of the natives. Onward came the train, its vapor curling from afar. It was the last to their destination that day—an express. Nearer and nearer it came at full speed; then in a moment it whizzed past and was gone. "Why in thunder didn't that train stop!" velled the bridegroom. "Cos you said 'twant none of my bizness. I has to signal if that train's to stop." _____ ACCORDING TO HOYLE.

PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK "My troubles began along in the summer in the hottest weather and took the form of small eruptions and itching and a kind of smarting pain. It took me mostly all over my back and kept getting worse until finally my back was covered with a mass of pimples which would burn and itch at night so that I could hardly stand it. This condition kept getting worse and worse until my back was a solid mass of big sores which would break open and run. My underclothing would be a clot of blood. "I tried various remedies and salves for nearly three years and I was not getting any benefit. It seemed I was in eternal misery and could not sleep on my back or lean on a chair. I was finally given a set of the Cuticura Remedies and inside of two weeks I could see and feel a great relief. I kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment and also the Resolvent, and in about three or four months' time my back was nearly cured and I felt like a new being. Now I am in good health and no sign of any skin diseases and I am fully satisfied that Cuticura Remedies are the best ever made for skin diseases. I would not be without them." (Signed) W. A.

PIERCE'S FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION THE ONE REMEDY for woman's peculiar ailments good enough that its makers are not afraid to print on its outside wrapper its every ingredient. No Secrets—No Deception. THE ONE REMEDY for women which contains no alcohol and no habit-forming drugs. Made from native medicinal forest roots of well established curative value. The woman who "keeps house" has enough to do when she is in good, sound health, but if she is weak, tired all the time, and suffering from morn to night with an aching back, house-work becomes a heavy burden. Many women who were afflicted in this way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have made life easier for them. Women are subject to kidney disease. The clothing they wear, the work they do, the worry and strain of bearing andearing children, the lack of proper exercise; all tend to it. Backache, bearing-down pains, headache, dizzy spells, faintness, fits of "blues," and other troubles often thought to be peculiar to the sex, are found frequently in kidney disease. When any one of these ills appears, together with a discolored condition of the kidney secretions, with passages too frequent, scanty or burning, just make up your mind that your kidneys are weak, and be quick to help them. Doan's Kidney Pills have helped a great many weak women through the trying times when kidney disease means so much added misery. They do not disturb the stomach or bowels and contain no poisonous, dangerous nor habit-forming drugs. Doan's are harmless for children too.

But the fat boy, flat on his stomach and spread out to his widest extent, ignored these warning cries and steadily crept toward the black hole and Tommy's clinging fingers. Once the ice made a cracking sound and the watchers yelled with dismay. But the fat boy did not halt. Nearer and nearer he came, and finally his outstretched hands caught those clinging fingers and drew the small boy, little by little, onto the firmer ice and so to safety. "What did youse do it fer, Fatty?" one of the boys tearfully remonstrated. "Aw, " replied the hero, "I knew what I lost in weight I made up in wideness, see?" Then his face softened.

Child's Reasoning "I can't tell you anything about my grandpa," said solemn little Eustace, questioned by a happier comrade as to his more recent ancestor, "because I never had any. All my grandparents died before I was born." "But you had grandparents, just the same, dear," interpolated a listening adult. "The fact that they died before you was born doesn't alter the fact that they were your grandparents." "But if our father and mothers had died before we were born they wouldn't have been our fathers and mothers, would they?" the wondering child questioned.

I used remedy after remedy prescribed by physicians but no remedy was found. The count of the numbness and grating sensation I could not lie down comfortably and some nights I was not in bed half an hour. I became so nervous and restless I hardly knew what to do. Hot waves came over me like a flash and I became so dizzy that I staggered. I had a feeling as if there was gravel in my bladder, the kidney secretions acting too freely at times, while my urinary tract was impaired by terrible pain. I cannot describe the suffering I endured for over two years. Finally I began using Doan's Kidney Pills and while I did not notice much relief for a week or so, I continued persistently and when I had taken eight boxes I was feeling fine. The numbness and smarting finally left, the kidney secretions became more intense and one hundred percent. Doan's Kidney Pills cured me at a time when it seemed that I would go crazy and I never can express my gratitude." Every Picture Tells A Story Your Back is Lame—Remember the Name? N'S KIDNEY PILL N.

Incidentally it it is interesting to note that the skill which enables one to detect a counterfeit comes not from study of counterfeits, but from a thick and unconscious familiarity with the genuine. If a man were pointed out to you and you were told that some day another who much resembled him would try to impose upon you, you would be pretty apt to fix his features in your mind; you would not spend any time looking at other people who looked something like him, would you? And the moment the impostor appeared you would note that in this, that or the other particular he failed to meet the details of the other man's face and figure. Just so it is in the detection of counterfeits. A skillful teller in a bank, counting money rapidly, will involuntarily throw out a note which in the slightest degree departs from the well-known pattern which is so strongly impressed on his mental vision. That involuntary act will nearly always prove to have been justified, for the bill in 19 cases out of 20 will prove to be a counterfeit. It is because of this fact that when a request is received from some one to loan him a collection of counterfeits for the instruction of his cashiers, he is advised to have the young men study the genuine carefully, and there will be no trouble in detecting the bad notes--National Magazine.
