HAIR GROWTH Promoted by Shampoos : _ of Cuticura Soap And Dressings of Cuticura the Great Skin Cure Farest, Sweetest, Most Effective Remedies for Skin, Scalp and Halr. This treatment at once stops falling hair, removes crusts, scales and dan- druff, destroys hair parasites, soothes irritated, itching surfaces, stimulates the hair follicles, loosens the scalp skin, supplies the roots with energy and nourishment, and makes the hair grow ‘upon usweet, wholesome, healthy scalp when all else fails.

Bathe the affected parts with hot water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the surface of crusts and scales and soften the thickened cuticle. Dry, without hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Olnt- * ment freely, to allay itching, irritation and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and, lastly, in the severer forms, take Cuticura Resolvent, to cool and cleanse the blood. A single set is often suffi- client to cure the most torturing, dis- figuring skin, scalp and blood humours, from pimples to scrofula, from infancy to age, when all else fails. | Sesame aaa A BARREN ISLAND TRANSFORMED INTO A PARADISE. The Great Achievement of the St. Paul Health Commissioner. When Dr. Ohage was appointed health commissioner of the city of St. Paul by Mayor Kiefer, the doctor en- deavored to demonstrate’ his appreci- ation of the appointment by making the city a present of Harriet island. The people smiled, for Harriet island was a barren sandbar in the Missis- sippi river, supposed to be always flooded in high water. It remained for the energetic doctor by his untir- ing labor-and ingenuity to transform this waste into an enjoyable health resort frequented by thousands of rich and poor alike. The St. Paul public baths situated on Harriet island are entitled to no small credit for the Saintly City’s reputation as the healthiest city in the world, visited as they are by over a million people a year. To enlarge these baths and add many new features is the patriotic project of her citizens in their mag- nificent Summer Carnival held for the benefit of the public baths July 27th to Aug. 8th. Excursion rates to St. Paul will be granted by all the railroads on July 28th and 30th, Aug. 3d and 5th. A Domestic Mystery.

Mass. — $5000 forfeit if original of above letter proving genuineness cannot be produced. Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimony— or take the place of the health and happiness which Lydia E. Pinkham/’s Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Hayes. Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound stands without a yr as a remedy for all the distress- g ills of women ; allovarian troubles; tumors; inflammations; ulceration, falling and displacement of the womb ; backache; irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation. Surely the volume and.character of the testimo- nial letters we are daily printing in the newspapers can leave no room for Goubt in the minds of fair people. DOWNFALL OF BLEHR. New Political Parties Are Forming in Norway. The Blehr ministry seems to be doomed, judging from the recent ut- terances of the Norwegian press. All parties are dissatisfied with Premier Blehr, who is charged with incompe- tency and vaccilation. The next elec tions will sweep the ministry away if it does not retire before, Norway is on the verge of peing wholly reorganized with regard to pu- litical parties. Now that the old Con- servatives and Moderates have joined with a part of the Leftists to sustain the report of the joint commission recommending a separate consular service, there will probably be formed a national party which seeks the name of “Liberal.” Then there is a group of Moderatu Leftists whose program is for a sepa- rate Norwegian foreign office as well as for separate consuls. Another group of Leftists would have Messrs. Stang and Konow returned to the thin- istry and some radical feforms. Then there are the Socialists, who have much in common with the third group. The last two may fuse, however, re- ducing the contest at the elections to three parties. HAIL KILLED SHEEP. Farmers in South of Sweden Suffer Severely. A destructive hail storm, so violent that its like has not been seen or heard of in the memory of man, passed over the greater part of Hallaryd’s parish, Smaland, Sweden, it is report ed. The hailstones were the size of small hen’s eggs. They descended with such force that they killed small- er domestic animals, such as sheep and chickens, particularly in the towns of Thorshold and Harhult. The great- est damage was, however, done to the crops, the grain being broken and lev- eled to the earth. Many of the farm- ers had bought seed grain to make certain a good harvest in the fall, and some had also, on account of poor seeding the first time, sowed again. If the crops now fail there will indeed be a sorrowful time in the community, and it is very likely that such assist- ance as was rendered the people in the far north the past winter will be required for the people in the south also. KINGS ARE NUMEROUS Among the Generals in the Swedish Army. The Swedish army rolls for 1903 have now been published. First among the generals appear the names of the king of Denmark, the emperor of Aus- tria, grand duke of Baden, grand duke of Luxemburg, crown prince of Den- mark and the king of Belgium. Inthe service rank list there are included the Swedish ¢rown prince, 1 general, 5 lieutenant generals, 7 major generals, 49 colonels, 47 lieutenant colonels, 98 majors, 601 captains, 772 lieutenants, 880 second lieutenants, 22 reserve lieu- tenants, 77 reserve second lieutenants, 46 regiment chaplains, 20 battalion chaplains, 38 auditors with rank of captain, 33-with rank of lieutenant, 35 vice auditors with second lieutenant’s rafik, 1 chief field surgeon, 7 depart- ment surgeons, 45 regimental and bat- talion surgeons, 38 with rank of cap- tain, 36 With rank of lieutenant. WORLD'S FAIR COMMITTEE. Appointed by Swedish Government for St. Louis. The Swedish government has offi- cially accepted the invitation extend- | ed to participate in the St. Louis ex- position, and has appointed the fol- lowing ¢ommittee to arrange for and dispose of all matters connected there- with not requiring the government’s approval: Dr .A. R. Ackerman, chair- man; B. V. Adler of the technical school, Stockholm; Dr. C. G. Bergman, | public school inspector, Stockholm; B. A. F Georgii, vice consul general; Dr. N. G. W. Lagerstedt and Dr .C. L. Loostrom. A corner lot, situated be- tween two streets, has been tendered for the Swedish pavilion. The Swed- ish art exhibit will be located next to that of Germany, and will occupy a space of 271 feet. SUBMARINE BOAT. First Addition of the Swedish Navy. Work on the Hajen, Sweden’s first submarine boat, has been commenced at the Galervarfet in Stockholm. The boat will be twenty meters at the wa- ter line, or about half as long as a first-class torpedo boat. The greatest width will be 4.46 meters and the depth 3 meters. The displacement is estimated at something over 100 pounds. The boat will have a speed of 9 1-2 knots on the surface, while under water the speed attained will not be to exceed 7 knots. The ma- chinery will be driven by electricily. The boat is estimated to be able to remain i water for three hours. UNMARRIED LADIES. Kind to the Pysntiful Supply Awaiting Chances in Stockholm. Of the taxable female population of Stockholm on Jan. 1, 1903, more than one-half, or 85,362, were cligible to marriage. Of these, 57.403 were un- married, 4,673 divorced and 23,286 widows. The youngest widow was 19 years and the oldest 97 years. The greatest difference in the age of mar- ried pepole recorded was 58 years, the man being 99 years and the woman 41 years. PROTECTION FOR NORWAY. New Minister of Finance Suggests a Retaliatory Tariff. Gunnar Knudsen, the new minister of finance, says that the depression in Norwegian finances demands that the country resort to high protective du- ties. “I am a free trader by convic tion,” says the new minister, “and’ 1 am proud of Norway’s record as a rela- tively free trade nation; but the se vere protectionism of the’ continent makes it necessary for us to retali- ate.” It is believed that, in reality, Mr. Knudsen desires higher duties for rev- enue purposes, on account of the im- possibility of increasing direct taxa- tion. The income tax for state and municipal purposes alone amounts to more than 15 per cent of the annual income of the country. BUSINESS FOR SINGERS. Northwestern Scandinavian Singers’ Union to Meet in Minneapolis. A call has been issued to the sing- ing societies comprising the North- western Scandinavian Singers’ union to send delegates to a special meeting to be held in Minneapolis on July 25. The delegates will meet at the Com mercial club, where rooms have been tendered by the club managemert. Arrangements for the entertainment of visitors will be met by the local of- ficers, ‘Recording Secretary C .G. O. Hanson and Corresponding Secretary Th. Hamann. The delegates will attend the con- certs and functions of the American Union of Swedish Singers in a body, in order to testify to the good will be- tween the two organizations. MORE LAND GRABBING. Russia’s Hand Out for Another Piece of Finland. “Findlandska Gaseta,” Gov. Gen. Bobrikoff’s paper, recently contained an article complaining that-at the time peace was concluded in. Frederick- shamn in 1809 Torne river instead of Kalix river was. not made the boun- dary line between Sweden and Russia. The paper intimates very plainly that the “mistake” should be corrected, particularly as the Finnish people up there, oppressed by the rule of Swed- en, look longingly (?) over the bound- ary to those who are made happy un- der Bobrikoff’s rule . School Children Exchange Visits. In order to promote friendship be- tween Sweden and Norway, the new- ly organized society, “The Brother People’s Weal,” will this year inaugu- rate a series of tours for school chil- dren, the Norwegians being taken to Sweden and vice versa. The first ex- cursion of this kind was taken by the upper class of the girls ‘school in Kristinehamm, who were taken to Christiania, where they were enter- tained by the girls of Miss Bonnevie’s school and shown about the city. A fortnight later fifteen pupils of Djur- sholm’s school were sent to Christian- ia. The pilgrimages of the small ones from Norway will come later in the summer. Schieldrup’s New Opera Gerhard Schieldrup, the Norwegian composer has completed a new opera which was given its first presentation at Dresden at the royal theater. Ai though the opera did not receive the best presentation it was greatly ap- preciated. Schieldrup and Karl Gjel- lerup the Danish poet, who wrote the text, were called out repeatedly. The opera bears the name “Offeril- dene” (The Fires of Sacrifice). Swedes Sing to Norway. “Ja Vi Elsker,” Norway’s national hymn, was sung repeatedly by the Swedes in June. It was sung for the members of the National Theater company, for the Norwegian cadets, for the Norwegian athletes and the Norwegian dancers at Skansen. The Swedes were sincerely glad and wel- comed every Norwegian with open arms. The best of relations appear to exist between the brother folk. Norsk Actors in Sweden. The Norwegian National Theater company has continued to enthuse its audience of Stockholm. ‘*Laul Lange og Tora Parsberg” drew a full house at its first performance. The Swedes were a little chilly at first, but warmed up. Director Bjornson, Fru Dybwaa and Messrs. Fahlstrom and Eide were called before the curtain time and again, the two former ten times after the last act. piaieiaiesaaneaiee Lene The Shark Coming. Work is being pushed on Sweden’s first submarine boat, Hejen (the Shark), which is being built at the Galer works, Stockholm. It will be about sixty-five feet long, with a beam of about ten feet, and will have a dis- placement of 100 tons. It is expected to attain a speed of seven knots under water and to remain under the sur- face for at least three hours. Se ee Christina Nilsson at Home. Countess Casa Miranda Christina Nilsson will again visit her former home at Gardsby, in Smaland, Swed- en. Though a Jady of high rank in Spain, she never fails to take an an- nual pilgrimage to her Swedish home. Her arrival was this year delayed by a sprained nakle. RUPE SS SE ae Will Make Peat Fuel. A large company for the conversion of peat into fuel has opened headquar-) cnarm if she can surround herself ters at Laholm, Sweden. The capital with an air of mystery. of the cr ncern will be 18,000 kroner. SUFFERING WOME MERICA is the land of ner- vous women. The great majority of ner- ‘vous women are so because they are suffering from some form of female disease. Mrs, Emma Mitchell, 520 Louisiana street, Indianapolis, Ind., writes: ‘Peruna has certainly been a blessing in disguise to me, for when I first began taking it for troubles peculiar to the sex and a generally worn out system, I had little faith, . «For the past five years I have rarely been without pain, but Pe- runa has changed all this, and in avery short time. I think I had oaly taken two bottles before I began to recuperate very quickly, and seven bottles made me well. I donot have headache or back- ache any more, and have some in- terest in life. I give all credit where it is due, and that is to Pe- runa.— Emma Mitchell. By far the greatest number of female troubles are caused directly by catarrh.

Female trouble is so common, so prevalent, that they accept it as almost in- evitable. The greatest obstacle in the way of recovery is that they do not understand that it is catarrh which is thesourceof their illness, In female complaint, ninety-nine cases out of one hundred are nothing but catarrh, Peruna cures catarrh wherever’ located. Chronic invalids who have languished for years on sick beds with some form of female disease begin to improve at once after be- ginning Dr. Hartman’s treatment, Among the many prominent women who recommend Peruna are:—Belva Lockwood, of Washington, D, C.; Mrs. Col. Hamilton,. of Columbus, Ohio; Mrs. F. E. Warren, wife of U. S. Senator Warren, of ‘Wyoming.

Robert is a bright little chap of five years. “We are the best of friends,” said a neighbor, “and he often runs in to see me. He likes to have me read to him, and is particulayly fond of Gelett Burgess’ rhymes. The other day I happened to run across this little verse and took it to his home to read to him: “Pd rather have fingers than toes, I’d rather have ears than a nose, And as to my hair I’m glad it’s all there, T'll be awfully sad when it goes.’ “I read no further than the second lMne—’d rather have ears than a nose,’ when Robert burst out with— “‘{ wouldn’t. I wouldn’t rather have ears than a nose.’ “Wondering what possible reason this small critic could possibly have for disagreeing so emphatically with his friend Mr. Burgess, I ventured to ask: “Why is it, Robert, that you wouldn’t rather have ears than a nose?’ “«?Cause they’re harder to wash.’” —Public Ledger. A Good Story. Frederika, Ia., July 13th.—Mr. A. S. | Grover of this place tells an interest- ing story showing how sick people may regain their health if they will only be guided by the experience of others. He says: “I had a very bad case of Kidney Trouble, which affected my urinary organs so that I had to get up every hour of the night. I could not retain my urine and my feet and limbs began to bloat up. My weight was -quickly 4 running down. After I had tried many things in vain, I began to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills, a medicine which had cured some other very bad cases. “This remedy has done wonders for me. I have gained eight pounds in two months. The bloat has all gone from my feet and legs, and I don't have to get up at night. I took in all about ten boxes before I was all sound.” 5 Those who suffer as did Mr. Grover can make no mistake in taking Dodd’s Kidney Pills, for they are a sure, safe and permanent cure for all Kid- ney urinary disorders.
