Oliver Gordhamer, carpenter, 1200 Dewey Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “I was stiff and lame in the morn- ing and it hurt me.to bring any strain on my back. I believe it was heavy lifting and hard work that brought on the trouble. I was han- dicapped in doing my work, espec- ially stooping or ' lifting. Reading about Doan’s Kidney Pills led me to try them. Three or four boxes strengthened my back and made me well, ~ At that time I gave a state- ment praising Doan’s Kidney Pills, and as I havé had no trouble -since, I am still a strong friend to them.” Price 50c, at all dealers.

I'be woods ot Cuba are wonderful and their lasting qualities are remark abi.. The jaguay and coupey start as a vine clinging to some large tree This vine grows to the top and then proceeds to put out laterals around the tree and Gnally kills it, but by this time it bas grown entirely around the tree and bas formed itself into a per fect forest tree sometimes four feet in diameter An unfortunate feature of this proceeding Is that the wood is soft and useless for any purpose. The wood stuck fn the ground for fencing gener ally takes root and grows, forming @ lving barrier. It is a common thing to see a wire fence secured to a grow ing tree which has originated in this manner. This is not-true of the jaguay wood, whicb is largely used for fences because of its sturdy qualities. There are some specimens of this wood which are known to have been standing. for more than a bundred years and there 1s no sign of decay or weakness of any kind.—Chicago Journal. A Natural Ice Mine. Among the rugged foothills of the Alleghenies, just beyond Coudersport, Pa., one may see a most curlous natu ral phenomenon. In a cave a few feet below the sunface there exists a natu- ral ice mine, the ceiling, walls and floor of the cave being perpetually cov- ered with thick ice. Curiously enough, during the beat of snmmer the ice is much thicker than in the coldest win ter. Chemists who bave tested the ice pronounce it to be absolutely pure nat ural ice, but no one has been able to discover the cause of this unusual for mation, although several theories have been proposed. Some scientists believe that underground water, rising from great depths, congeals upon the walls, bnt all theories thus far advanced have been unconfirmed, and the origin ot the ice mine remains as mucb ot a mystery as ever.—Wide World Maga zine. lT IS a big responsi- bility to recommend a facial cream.
