A. A. Boyce, a farmer, living three and a half miles from Trenton, Mo., says: “A severe cold settled in my _ kid- meys and de- veloped s oF] quickly that = i to lay work on ac count of the aching in my back and sides. For a time I was un- able to walk at all, and every make- shift I tried and all the medicine I took had not the slightest effect. My back continued to grow weaker until I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills, end I must say 1 was more than sur- prised and gratified to notice the back- ache disappearing gradually until it finally stopped.” Doan’s Kidney Pills sold by all deal- ers or by mail on receipt of price, 50 cents per box. F¥oster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Many a woman is quite content to have her books, pictures and even her husband chosen for her, but when it comes to-the selection of a gown, even such a one rises up and asserts her- self. Lady Curzon ts an example of just the opposite. Recipient of a ver- itable wonder gown—a present with the choosing of which she had naught to do—she has found double pleasure in it. It has satisfied her exacting fancy to the full, and has caused a stir in blase London. It was sent to her by an Indian rajah, and is composed of 15,000 wing cases of Indian beetles. They are sewn upon a silken robe and lend a shimmering irridescence to the flowing folds of the garment. No won- der she described it as a dream, for its coloring and texture is almost as elusive as the fabric that dreams are made of. Nearly every woman ,that has behe'd the marvel has broken the commandment against coveteousness, and though many have tried to dupli- sate it, their efforts have been in vain. Both because of the rarity of the wings and of the difficulty of affixing them, such a gown can only be fashioned by years of work. Do You Feel Chilly, Then . Feverish and Ache all Over? Feel Worn-out, Biue and Tired? Mave You a Fresh Cold, With Frequent Hacking Cough? Sensation of Soreness in the Chest or Back? Don’t let your cold run into chronic bronchitis or pneumonia. The very best tonic alterative and body-builder at this time is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery. Made without alcohol or dan- gerous drugs, and it contains that rare combination of roots and herbs that will allay a cough (irons it out, as it were), restores the circulation, assists the appe- tite and digestion, and consequently re- stores tone £0 the entire system. That is the reason people look ha) py once more after taking it—they feel like living, be- cause their liver is active, the blood in their arteries is full of that life-giving quality—rich, red blood. The blood in turn feeds the nerves. Nervousness and neuralgia are only the indication that the nerves are not fed on invigorating blood. This “Medical Dis- covery” of Dr. Pierce is nature’s own restorer. It tones up the organism and stimulates its functions, furnishing to the body one of its necessary constituent principles of which it is in need. This preparation is of pleseenh taste, agrees perfectly with rebellious and sen- sitive stomachs, and is extremely effec- tive in geahin tone and vigor to the entire system. It cures gastric troubles of the stomach and at the same time the blood-vessels are given a stimulation which throws off a cold. One very good reason why it restores the health of run- down, hee and emaciated people is be- cause it first throws out the poisons from the liver and kidneys. It then begins its reconstructive work in building up flesh and making good, rich, red blood. “I have been a sufferer from indigestion for some thirty years, at times.” writes Mr, 8. W. Mullenax, of Circleville, W. Va., “and have used medicine from several of our best physicians, which gave me only a little tem- porary relief. They said I could never be cured. Last winter I was stricken with the worst spell that lever had. I suffered with such severe pains in the pit of my stomach that I could neither work nor sleep, and weight went down from one hundred meee Notte, pounds to one hundred and sixty pounds in ut two months’ time. I then concluded that I woutd try Doctor Pierce's Golden Mi Discovery. By the time the first bottle was gone, I felt some relief from my severe suffering so continued until I had used four bottles of ‘Golden Medical Dis- covery.’ I dm truly thankful for the great benefit which I have received from your medicine, and can cordially recommend it to others.” It Stands Alone Ssi.0% i is ———— ee Eres. | bre also as the only medicine for stomach, liver and blood disorders, which abso- lutely CONTAIN NO ALCOHOL.

Painful Eruptions From Knees to Feet Seemed Incurable—Cuticura Ends Misery. Another of these remarkable cures by Cuticura, after doctors and all else had failed, is testified to by Mr. M. C. Moss of Gainesville, Texas, in the following letter: “For over thirty years I suffered from painful ulcers and an eruption from my knees to feet, and could find neither doctors nor medicine to help me, until I used Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills, which cured me in six months. They helped me the very first time I used them, and I am glad to write this so that others suffering as I did may be saved from misery.” Sometimes he who wears the laurel wreath is more deserving of the crown of thorns. RECORD OF VACATIONS TAKEN BY PRESIDENTS. Chief Executives Have Frequently Left the White House on More or Less Extended Trips—Criticism of Johnson’s Journeyings. The presidents have been accus- tomed to spend more or less of their time away from Washington, although once in the history of the country the lower house of congress took it upon itself to criticise the chief executive for his absence from Washington, says the New York Sun. The criticism con- sisted in asking the president what ex- ecutive acts were performed by chief executives while they were away from the capital. The president of whom the inquiry was made was Grant. As a matter of record presidential vacations began in the administration of Wash- ington. Investigation shows that the father of his country in the «at years of his office took 181 days to himself. The country at that time did not offer the same inducements in the way of trayel as now. It is not mentioned anywhere, so far as investigation nas extended, that Washington suggested any deduction from his pay for time he was on jaunts. ' The first Adams beat the traveling reeord of his predecessor. While he was in office only one term, he was away from the seat of government altogether one year and twenty days, ‘or more than one-fourth of the time for which he was chosen. Jefferson was a good deal of an ab- sentee. Unless the figures in his case are wrong, he was away from the capital 796 times in the eight years of his administration. Monroe, in whose term there was a surplus of good feeling in the country, was away in the eight years he served nearly one-third of the time. Jackson served two terms and took more than a year and a half out of his time. While all the presidents have taken vacations, those who served in the good old times, when, according to ‘some, the government was nearer the people than in more recent years, did a good deal more knocking about than the presidents since the civil war. Lincoln, by reason of the war, was forced to remain in and about the capital more closely than any other president. After Lincoln’s death John- son made his famous swing around the circle, for which he was censured by the country generally, as his trav- els were unmistakably for political purposes, Grant made several trips while he was president. Hayes made few. Ar- thur was the first president to go inta the far west. During part of his visit he, like Roosevelt, disappeared for a few days. from the correspondents when he went into the depths of Yel- lowstone park. In Cleveland's first administration he went fishing to one of the inland Jakes of Wisconsin. In his second ad- mininstration he made several brief trips and hunted ducks frequently. Harrison, who came between the two administrations of Cleveland made a swing through the south ané later made a rapid journey through Illinois, Towa, Kansas and Missouri. During the trip he addressed the Grand Army of the Republic of Illi nois, laid the cornerstone of a college building at Galesburg, dedicated a corn palace in Iowa, attended a Grand Army of the Republic review at Tope ka, Kas., spoke in Kansas City the same night and visited St. Louis the day after. As is well known, President McKin- ley was the first president to visit California. His was the longest con- tinuous presidential journey in point of miles. President Roosevelt is the greatest presidential sportsman in the history of the country. His last was his sec- ond trip to the far west in search of game. Rebuilding the Campanile. | Slowly but surely the work of re- storing the campanile of St. Mark’s at Venice is proceeding. A high wood- en paling hides the scene of opera- tions from outsiders and forms a} workyard. In this space eighty work- | men are employed either in preparing the stone or hewing the timber or car- rying the cement which is needed for the foundations. A huge, square ped- estal in the middle is all that is left of the original site and of the old campanile and is to serve again for its successor. The groundwork of this pedestal is the part on which the hands are now engaged and in the strengthening and consolidating of this under-pedestal lay the great diffi- culty of beginning the work of recon- struction. For it was long before any means could be found whereby to pre- vent the ground under it from yield ing. Humanity: In tracing up the various faults To which mankind is heir.

FIXING RAILROAD RATES. Making railroad rates is like play- ing @ game of checkers or chess. Com- munities to be benefitted, producers, manufacturers or shippers to be aided represent the pieces used. Every pos- sible move is studied for its effect on the general result by skilled traf- fic managers. A false move in the making of freight rates may mean the ruin of a city, of a great manufactur- ing interest, of an agricultural com- munity. Railroads strive to build up ali these so that each may have an equal chance in the sharp competi- tion of business. So sensitive to this rivalry are the railroads that in order to build up business along their lines they frequently allow the shipper io practically dictate rates. Rate mak- ing has been a matter of development; of mutual concessions for mutual benefit. That is why the railroads of the United States have voluntarily made freight rates so much lower in this country than they are on the government-owned and operated rail- ways of Europe and Australia that they are now the lowest transporta- tion rates in the world.

How often do we hear women say: ‘It seems as though my back would break,” or ‘Don’t speak to me, I am all out of sorts?” These significant rem: prove that thesystem requires attention. Backache and ‘‘ the blues” are direct symptoms of an inward trouble which will sooner or later declare itself. It may be caused by diseased kidneys or some uterine derangement. Nature requires assistance and at ance, and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound instantly asserts its curative powers in all those peculiar ailments of women. It has been the standby of intelligent American women for twenty years, and the ablest specialists agree that it is the most universally success- ful remedy for woman’s ills known to medicine. : The following letters from Mrs. Holmes and Mys, Cotrely are among the many thousands which Mrs. Pink- ham has received this year from those whom she bas relieved. Surely such testimony is convincing. Mrs. J.G. Holmes, of Larimore, North Dakota, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “T have suffered everything with backache and womb trouble—I let the trouble run on until my system was in such a condition that Iwas unable to be about, and then it was I commenced to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound, i I had only known how much suffering I would have saved, I should have taken it months sooner—for a few weeks’ treatment made me well and strong. My backaches and headachesare all gone and I suffer no pain at my menstrual periods, whereas before I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound I suffered intense pain.” Mrs. Emmz Cotrely, 109 East 12th Street, New York City, writes: Ask Mrs. Pizkham's Advice—A Woman Best Understands a Woman’ Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— ‘+ T feel it my duty totell all canary of the relief I have found in Lydia EK. Pink ham's Vegetable compoand. When I e thi with backaches, ps tah and ovarian troubles. I am complete- ly cured and enjoy the best of health, and I owe itall to you.” When women are troubled with irreg- ular, suppressed or painful menstrua- tion, weakness, leucorrhea, displace- ment or ulceration of the womb, that bearing down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating (or flatulence), general debility, indiges- tion und nervous prostration, or are be- set with such symptoms as dizzinesa, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irrita- bility, nervousness. sleeplessness, me)- ancholy, ‘‘all gone” and ‘‘ want-to-be- left-alone” feelings, blues and hopeless- ness, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound at once re- moves such troubles. No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqual- fied endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any substitute. FREE ADVICE TO WOMEN. Remember, every woman is cordially invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham if there is anything about her symptoms she does not understand. Mrs. Pink- ham’s address is Lynn, Mass., her advice is free and cheerfully given to every ailing woman who asks for it. Her advice and medicine have restored to health more than one hundred thou- sand women. iis, We seem now to be in the twilight | of the day of jokes that father used to tell about the pies that mother used to make.

NFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of ] all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent, or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent, or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma- jority of these previous lives, Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations, Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, or ' morphine, They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity _ they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria ~ operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever.
