¢ som SENATOR SULLIVAN Says He Has Found Doan’s Kidney Pills Invaluable in Treating Sick Kidneys. Hon. Timothy D. Sullivan of New York, Member of Congress from the Bighth New York District, and one of the Democratic leaders of New York State, strongly recommends Doan’s Kidney Pills. Senator Sulli- van writes: “It is a pleas- ure to endorse a remedy like Doan’s_ Kidney Pills, having found them of greatest value in eliminating the distress caused by sick kidneys, and in restoring those organs to a condition of health. My experience with your valuable remedy was equally as grati- fying as that of several of my friends. Yours truly, (Signed) TIMOTHY D. SULLIVAN. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.

There is a good story told of old Patrick Green, who has worked at the Bush stores in Brooklyn for years. Green’s inability to keep up-to-date is nothing against him. He is a watch- man and not a poet. So when Fore- man Reilly last week gave Green four pennies and two letters and told the old man to buy two stamps and paste one on each letter, he knew that Green had to have explicit orders, and would follow them explicitly. He also admonished the old man to be careful about putting the two letters in the box at the corner after the stamps had been affixed. Green came back in about ten minutes, his face aglow. He placed the four pennies in Reilly’s hand and exclaimed: “There wusn’t no one lookin’. Faith an’ Oi wuz moighty sure of it, too, and so I just put them in the box an’ took it on a run as fast as me ould legs would carry me!”—New York Globe. YELLOW CRUST ON BABY. Would Crack Open and Scab Causing Terrible Itching—Cured by Cuticura. “Our baby had a yellow ervst on his head which I could not keep away. When I thought I had succeeded in getting his head clear, it would start again by the crown of his head, crack and scale, and cause terrible itching. I then got Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment, washing the scalp with the soap and then applying the Ointment. A few treatments made a complete cure. I have advised a number of mothers to use Cuticura when I have been asked about the same ailment of their babies. Mrs. John Boyce, Pine Bush, Parisian Examples.

Cast Ballots for Dissolution—Object. Lesson for Stockholm. | As Norway had officially informed Sweden that the union up to this time was to be considered as dissolved, after the common king had declared himself not capable to procure a Nor- wegian government, Sweden proposed as a condition since qua non that all the Norwegian people, through the voters, should give the Norwegian storthing its sympathy and approba- tion to the decision about the dissolu- tion of the union. When such a dec- laration from the people was placed before her Sweden was ready for its own part to accept the dissolution of the union, if Norway and Sweden came to an agrement about the rest. The Swedish government, more- over, was of that opinion, that a rea- place if, if, first, Norway permitted the Swedish Laplanders to let their rein; deers graze on the Norwegian frontier hills; second, Norway consented to a common and mutual arrangement of both countries’ transit trade, and if, third, Norway, together with Sweden, established a neutral zone along the southmost part of the frontier, be- tween both countries, at which it was presupposed that two recently erected Norwegian frontier fortresses should be razed. The claim to the popular vote was immediately met in the most friendly way by Norway. Well, such election was decided to be held be- fore the decision of the Swedish par- liament was officially announced to the Norwegian storthing. It was now decided that all Norwe- gian citizens who in 1903 had the right of voting (in this year the latest elec- tion of the members of parliament took place were to be called upon through their “aye” or “no,” by letter, to speak their minds plainly whether they agreed or taken place. The voting took place in like man- ner as during general election, by the parish. The general election commit- tee conducted the election, and the voters went, one after another, into the voting booths, where they in pri- vate put their ballots marked “aye” or “no” into a sealed envelope. One citizen cannot possibly have any idea of the way in which another votes. It is quite secret. The surprise and joy, therefore, was exceedingly great, because it be- came apparent that it was not only an overwhelming majority for the disso- tution of the union, which was ex- pected, but that the Norwegian people unanimously agreed with its govern- ment and _ storthing. About 430,000 have the right to vote, and 368,211 voted aye “and” and 184 “no.” That means that all the people that were at home and had the right to vote ap- peared at the polls. It is also to be remembered that there are 25,000 Swedish by birth who | have the right to vote in Norway and they have acted in a manner to do themselves and their country great! honor. In those districts where the Swedes especially congregate not a_ single “no” was registered. They, too, have understood that the dissolution of the union was a necessity. It ought to give their countrymen something toj think about. } Sunday, the 18th of August, was of course a festival day through all Nor- way. The churches were decorated | with foliage, flowers and flags, and all clergymen prayed for the fatherland. In the towns there was spirit and feast as never before. But there was quiet and order | everywhere, and that earnestness that proved that the people were conscious | of the responsibility of their voting. For not without national giving up is! it possible that the Norwegian people now can enter a way that leads back, from the resolution of the 7th of June’ and of the 18th of August. And that will never happen. EL oe vc RL VENICE OF THE NORTH, Copenhagen Is Compared to Famous Italian City. “How much Copenhagen is like Venice,” said a bright American girl, belonging to a party sightseeing in | Denmark. And indeed there are many points of similarity as to situation, territory and history, and now Copen- hagen threatens to indulge in a falling Campanile, too. The Campanile is »the last rem- nant of Copenhagen’s oldest church, St. Nicholas, finished in 1591 and burn- ed down 204 years later. Only the great tower remained, and in the course of time became the center of the open meat market. The munic- | ipality rented out the tower interior to an employment agency, while the exterior is devoted to advertising pur- poses, bill, posters and others using Far Nor Tid-Bits of News for Scandinavians. disagreed with the! dissolution of the union, that had} land the old pile at so much a foot. The other day the employment agency’s sign fell down, exposing a portion of the tower heretofore hidden, namely, the upperr part of the portals, done in the most beautiful late Gothic style: The fact attracted some attention and your correspondent, with other news- paper men, went to the square to have a look at the long-neglected monument of beautiful architecture. We found the tower in a most deplorable condi- tion, threatening to fall to pieces. The ground all around is strewn with frag- ments of the sandstone ornamenta- tions for which St. Nicholas church was once famous, and hundreds of bricks followed the falling balustrades and cornice. Experts say that a ca- tastrophe is imminent, lest the mu- nicipality employ preventive meas- ures. “If the architects and masons do not go to work soon there will be another Campanile catastrophe,” said a well known master mason. And, strange to say, the reason is the same as in Venice. Both Copenhagen and Venice are built on sand and swamps, re-enforced by piles. Hence it may be prophesied that Stockholm will last longer than Copenhagen, as the latter city is founded on rocks, NOVEL AQUATIC SPORTS. Attract Famous Swimmers From En- tire Globe. During the past week there have been swimming, diving and water polo contests in Stockholm, which were at- tended by athletes from all parts of the world, mostly, however, by Eng- lish swimmers. There was one pro- fessional who had come all the way | from Australia, a Mr. Kieran, and he proved to be the most skillful of them all, especially in fast swimming, in which he greatly excelled all his com- petitors. In a four-mile swimming contest ar- ranged on the Djurgardsbrunsviken, a lagoon separating the park island Djurgarden from the mainland and just outside the city limits, Kieran left all his competitors far behind, and the smartest of them, Wennerstrom, had hardly finished the second mile when Kieran began the fourth or home stretch. On the last mile his strength gave out and he became bewildered and began to flounder about in the wa- ter and deviate from the course, and finally he made a lunge for the near- est boat, whose gunwale he grasped just as he fainted dead away. He was quickly hauled up into the boat, how- ever, wrapped in a blanket and rubbed vigorously while being taken ashore, where a skillful physician had to work over him for some time before he rcould be brought to. The reason why he gave out so soon was that the wa- ter was very cold—about 60 degrees Fahrenheit—and there was a strong current from the river, which forms the outlet of Lake Malar. In the jumping and diving contests, the Eng- lishmen did the best work, on the whole, but in water polo they met with rather more than thei match in the Swedish swimmers. This, it is claimed, was due to the fact that the Swedish polo players do not play by exactly the same rules as the English, and the little differences to which the Englishmen had to conform confused them. One of the most interesting features of these swimming contests was the prize swimming of cavalry. The course laid across the lagoon afore said, and was taken part in by the officers of the Swedish cavalry in uni- form, but without swords. Some of the horses became frightened in mid- stream and floundered and kicked viciously and shook off their rides, but most of the riders succeeded in cling- ing to their horses till they reached the opposite shore. All competitors rode bareback. This is the first competition of this kind ever held in Sweden. Labor conflicts are still raging in Sweden. It is estimated that 17,000 laborers are at the present without work on account of strikes. These men, together with 70,000 women and children who are dependent on them, making a total of 87.000 people, are now dependent on the assistance of- fered them by the labor organizations, which support amounts to 175,000 kr. a week, making 10 kr. a week per la- borer, Dying Made Easy, One of the modern schemes of phys- ical development that has won favor is a systematic method of breathing. A certain inquirer who was interested in the principles of this system recent- ly wrote to one of its professors for a descriptive pamphlet.

London Hostess’ Popular Function on a Hot Night. | There are few English hostesses | who have such an eye to the comforts of their guests as has Mrs. Marshall Roberts, who introduced_a novelty in | the way of ball room decoration which | the select gathering present heartily approved.’ The ball was on a torrid choice exotics, standing about in glass plates which had been provided espe- cially for the occasion. Parti-colored electric lights surrounded the ice ice blocks, producing beautiful rain- bow effects. This happy thought ren- dered the otherwise great heat of the evening bearable to the guests, and the immensely long, marble-payed, ice-blocked corridors along the vast night, and Mrs. Roberts, whose inven- tive genius knows no limit, had great blocks of ice ,massed with palms and oak paneled hall, where the dancing took place, formed retreats that cool- ed them most refreshingly.—New York Press.

FEVER’S AFTER EFFECTS. Did Not Disappear Until the Blood Was Renewed by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Typhoid fever is sometimes called ner | vous fever. During the course of the fever the nerves are always profoundly disturbed, and when it is over they are left so sensitive that the patient has to be guarded against all excitement. In the tovic treatment then demanded, regard must be paid not only to building up flesh but also to strengthening the nerves, A remedy that will do both, make sound flesh to repair waste and give new vigor to feeble nerves, is the most convenient and economical. Such a remedy is Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. One proof of this js the experience of Mr. Charles Worth, pf East Vassalboro, Maine. He says: “I had a severe at- tack. of typhoid fever late in the fall which left me very weak and debilitated. My heart palpitated, my breathing be- ‘ame difficult after the least exertion and there was numbness in both hands. I suffered in that way for fully six months. As I did not grow out of it, did not in fact see the slightest improvement as time passed, I decided to use Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills as I knew of some cures é they had effected in cases like mine. : “Almost as soon as I began taking 4 them I could see decided improvement and after keeping on with them for several weeks I was completely well.

Physicians Recommend Castoria / Bie og has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma- ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: firs:—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Secon¢—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi- i} lates the food: 7hir¢—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how- ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Haill’s Journal of Health.

In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything tbat so filled the place.” Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: “I have used your Castoria and founa it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent.” Dr. Wm. L. Bosserman, of Buffalo, N. Y., says: “I am pleased to speak a good word for your Castoria. I think so highly of it that I not only recommend it te others, but have used it in my own family.” Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: “I prescribe your Castoria ex- tensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children’s troubles, I am ree that there are imitations In the field, but I always see that my patients get fletcher’s.”” Dr. Wm. I. McCann, of Omaha, Neb., says: “As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.” Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: “The name that your Castoria | has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of i children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical pro- fession, but 1, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy.” Dr. Channing H. Cook, of St. Louis, Mo., says: “I have used your Castoria for several years past in my own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is a great consideration in view of the fact that most medicines of this character are obnoxious and therefore difficult of ad- rect ibid As a laxative, 1 consider it the peer of anything that I ever pre- scribed.” Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: ‘Physicians generally do not pre- scribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children’s complaints.
