SUFFERED FOR FIFTEEN YEARS. Completely Restored to Heatth. Mrs. P. Brunzel, wife of P. Brunzel, stock dealer, residence 3111 Grand Ave., Everett, Wash., says: “For fif- teen years I suffered with terrible pain in my back, @ experi- mented with doc tors and medicines .but got little if any relief, I actually be- lieve the aching in in my back and through the groin beeame worse. I did not know what it was to enjoy a nigut’s gest and arese in ‘the morn- ing ieeling tired and unrefreshed. My suffering sometimes was simply indes- cribable. Finally, I saw Doan’s Kid ney Pills advertise@ and got a box. } After a few doses Istold my husband that I was feeling much better and { that the pills were doing me good. ‘ When I finished that box J felt like a different woman.’I didn't stop at that, though. I continued the treatment until I had taken five boxes. There was mo recurrence until a week ago, when I ‘began to feel miserable again. 1 bought another box and three days’ treatment restored me to health. Doan’s Kidmey Pills act very effective- ly, very promptly, relieve the aching pains amd all other annoying difficul- ties, { heave recommended ‘them to many people and ‘will do so when op- portunities present themselves.

Elks From the West and Atlantic City’s Executive. There was a big overflow of Elks from the Baltimore convention last week, and hundreds of them are there yet. A party of about a dozen of them were swinging along the board walg the other day when they met Mr. Stoy, Atlantic City’s mayor, taking his constitutional. The Elks knew him by sight. One of them stepped forth from the gang, politely raised his hat to Mayor Stoy, and said to him: “Beg pardon, sir, but do you live here?” “Why, yes,” courteously replied the mayor, “I— “Then—why—don’t—yofl_m-o-Ov-e?” bawléd the dozen or so Elks in a hi- larious basso chorus., * The mayor looked surprised for a moment and then he engaged the Elks in conversation. “Well,” remarked one "of the Hikg to the mayor, as the party prepared to move on,‘‘there’s one thing that you’ve got here that we haven’t got out West.” ‘ “What is that?” unsuspectingly in- quired the mayor. “The East,” howled the Elks, again in a thundering, deep unison, and then the mayor good naturedly gave them up and resumed his stroll.—New York Sun, DOCTOR SAID “Quit Wrong Food and Eat Grape- » Nuts." An Illinoisan who has been through the mill says: “Last spring I was sc bad with indigestion I could not digest even soft cooked eggs and doctor said I must eat predigested food and pre- scribed Grape-Nuts. I changed for the better before I had used one package, eating it three times a day. “My improvement on Grape-Nuts food’ was so wonderful that I con- cluded to use’ your food drink Postum in place of tea and to make a long story short I have not been without Grape-Nuts and Postum since and my present health proves my doctor's wisdom in prescribing Grape-Nuts. 1 have got strong as a horse and well and I owe it all to your delicious food and Postup.” Name given by Pos- tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. In the making of Grape-Nuts food all the indigestible starches of the grain are transformed into Post sugar. Every particle of Grape-Nuts is digest- ible in the weakest stomach.

When Man Stays’at Home. fit'is surprising how soon a wife tires of the company of a man who is too much at home.* Men are wise in get- ting away from their rooftrees a por- tion of each day. Among their wives will be found a very general opinion to this effect. There will be found ev- erywhere a disposition to pack men off'in the morning, and to pid them jseep out of the way till toward even- ing, when it is presumed that they will have a little news of the busy world to bring home, and when baby will be sure to have said something exceptionally brilliant and precocious. ‘The general events of the day will af- ford topics of conversation, more in- teresting by far than if the. whole morn till night. .A very little inquiry, tov, will elicit the fact that men about home all day are very apt to be fid- gety anfi grumpy and interfering—al- together objectionalble, in short—The Gentlewoman. An Old Soldier’s Experience. Dennard, Ark., Sept. 7th. Mr. E. J. Hicks, merchant of this place, has written for publication, an account ot a personal experience, which is very interesting. “Iam an old Federal soldier,” writes Mr. Hicks, “and shortly after the close of the war I was taken sick. I had aches and pains all over me, fluttering of the heart and stomach trouble. I just simply was never a moment without pain. I could not sleep at night, and I was always tired and tearfully weak. “I toox medicine all the time, but for a long time I was more dead than alive. Altogether I suffered for over twenty years, and I believe I would have been suffering yet, or in my grave, if I had not read of Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills. “I got an almanac which told me of this remedy, and I bought some of it. 1 started with three pills a day, but increased the dose to-six pills a day. I had not used many till my pains be- gan to disappear. I kept on and now I can sleep and eatias well as ever I could, and 1 feel like a new man, with no pains or aches left. “I will always recommend Dodd’s Kidney Pills, for they are a wonderful remedy.” Too Much Publicity. “How long did you hold public of- fice?” “Four years.” “And your salary, 84.000 a year?” “Yes.” “I can’t figure out how you went in with nothing and retired with $100, 900.” “It is queer how, many people are bothering over that matter just as you are. I can’t understand how it is that men waste so much time trying to figure on things that are none of their business. Sometimes I am so disgusted with my fellow citizens be- vause of their inquisitive ways that 1 am almost tempted to go away from here and never come back again. ad Whicago Record-Herald.

Reclaiming Alkali Land. Im the United States and Canade, a5 well as im many other countries of the world, there are great stretches of fand that are unfertile due to a too great proportion of salt or-alkali in them. Usually these tracts of land are quite low, and some of them have een formerly beds of lakes and ponds. There are other tracts of iand that hawe developed alkali spots from bav- ing being too long under a system of irrigation that permitted the salt and alkali to rise in the soil as a result of capillary attraction.’ It is therefore of interest to American farmers to know what és being done in the matter of the weclamation of such lands im for- eign countries. Egypt is the country that is at pres- ent attracting the most attention in this regard. Here some of the problems are being worked out. This has not been am easy matter. Quite a number | of years ago, a French company bought 10,000 acres of this land, and sunk $4,500,000 in an attempt to re- claim it, but were unsuccessful. Yet the land they handled was and is as easily reclaimed as any of the other land that has been reclaimed and made profitable. They showed how not to de it, and other companies | profited by their mistakes. The causes of their failure were first, the ditches were not close enough together to permit of rapid washing of the soil. The ditches were jout 1,000 feet apart when they sfould have been not more than 150. Second, the ditches should have followed the slope of the land. They were actually laid out on a rectangular plan regardless of slope. Third, reclamation was attempted on too large a scale, and lacked thorough- ness. Fourth, the land was put into such crops as cotton before it was sweetened—freed from its alkali and salt. This land is now in process of being reclaimed under correct methods. On the other hand the success In re claiming ee in Egypt has been most gratifying and profitable. An English company mone ed a grant of 25,000 acres of this worthless alkali land and invested $12.50 per acre in its reclama- tion. The land now brings an annual rental of about $25 per acre and has a@ value of over $200 per acre, or a total of over $2,500,000. The English company declared dividends of 45 per cent last year. The soil before drainage was described as “heavy, .dense, sticky, black clay, apparently very impervious to water and difficult to underdrain. In fact’ the whole as- pect of the land is one of utter hope- lessness, and none but the most san- guine of agricultural engineers would have undertaken its reclamation.” That land is now bright with grow- ing crops and productive of'an im- mense revenue. The most effective method of rid- ding the land of its surplus salt and alkali is found to be flooding, with tile drains. The drains are placed 30 inches deep and 35 feet apart, and the cost is $30 per acre. This is the lat- est aud best method, but is not the method by which most of the Egyptian lands have been so far reclaimed. That method has been to use open ditches and flood the land for months at a time till the salts have soaked out. The water is then drained off. In some cases it has taken two years to sufficiently drain the soil of its salts to make the land productive. American farmers will of course pre- fer the tile drains to the open ditches, as open ditches are a nuisance and keep much of the land out of culti- vation. Besides, they have to be larger ‘and cost more to dig. A tile drain does not haye to be cleaned out frequently, as is the case with open ditches. An experiment of this kind igs now being carriéd on near Salt Lake City, Utah, where the ditches are placed 150 feet apart, oh High Price for Poor Wheat. ‘We have received from the Ohio Ex- periment Station the following com- munication; , In the variety tests of the Ohio Ex- periment Station were grown this year five plots of wheat, the seed of which “had been procured from as many dif- ferent sources, but which have shown such a striking similarity in appear- ance and yield as to attract attention. These wheats came to the séation under names given below: American Bronze, No. 8, Invincible and Prosper- ity. These wheats were sown last fall on plots of uniform land contain- ing one-tenth acre each, and each new sort was sown between similar plots of Velvet Chaff, the variety which has been used as a standard of comparison at the station for more than ten years past; the treatment as to soil, seed, date of sowing, etc., being the same for the new sorts and for the Velvet Chaff. The actual yields of this variously named sort of wheat were as below: No. 8, Huron county, 32.50 bushels per acre; No. 8, Lorain county, 31.83 bushels per acre; Invincible, 31.83 bushels per acre; Prosperity, 31.00 bushels per acre; all of which yields were exceeded by the Velvet Chaff. The Velvet Chaff, however, is a wheat of medium productiveness, ag shown by the ten-year tests at the station. We understand that agents are offer. ing “Prosperity” wheat in Ohio at $3.50 per bushel.—Charles E, Thorne, Director. When accomplished, the Romaniza- tion of the Japanese language will put the final touch of victory to the revo- lution begun forty years age. * "NOTIN GANGS. The Way Criminals Work, as Fold by Detectives. “The ‘gang’ idea as applied i erim- inals is a ridiculous blunder,” says an experienced detective. “There are no such things, except in story books. . “Safe burglars generally work in parties of three, but that is because three are necessary—two to manipu- | fate the drill and tools and one to keep watch. Whenever it is possible for a burglar to ‘crack a crib’ single-handed, he is certain to go alone. It is the samme with all other thieves. “You read of a ‘gang of pickpock- eis’ descending or some race meeting. But this is utterly wrong. Pickpock- ets may work in pairs, but never in gangs. The detective novel theory is that criminals are organized into great societies, with regular heads and cast- iron laws and by-laws, to violate which means sudden and mysterious death. “That is all rubbish. If such an o1- ganization’ were formed the police would know it in ten minutes after the first meeting adjourned. One of the things which keep thieves apart is their horrible treachery. I have been a detective for over a quarter of a cen- tury and I never knew a single thief who would not betray his companions if he could save his own skin by do ing so.""—Cassell’s Journal, Physiological Error. broke out o' jail was shot through de v-i-t-a-l-s.
