Senator from Minnesota, brilliant or- ator, clever business man, brainy: law- yer, whose national prominence made him-a formidable candidate for the Presidential nomination in 1904 writes us the following: . Gentlemen: I am glad to en- dorse Doan’s Kidney Pills. The remedy was recom- mended to me a few months ago when I was feeling misera- ble; had severe pains in the back; was rest- less and lan- had a dull headache and neu- guid; ralgic pains in the limbs and was otherwise distressed.

Brushed Scales From Face Like Pow- der—Doctor Said Lady Wotld Be Disfigured for Life—Cuticura Works Wonders. “I suffered with eczema all over my body. My face was covered; my eye- brows came out. I had tried three doctors, but did not get any better. I then went to another doctor. He thought my face would be marked for life, but my brother-in-law told me to get Cuticura. I washed with Cuticura Soap, applied Cuticura’ Ointment, and took Cuticura Resolvent as directed. I could brush the scales off my face like powder. Now my face is just as clean as it ever was.—Mrs. Emma White, 641 Cherrier Place, Camden, N. J., April 25, '05.” ‘ In Jungle Society.

Mr. Saw- yer, being particularly fond of allitera- tion, gave all of them names beginning with S. They had Stephen, Jr., Susan, Samuel, Sarah, Seth, Sophie, Solon, Sally, Samantha, Salome, Saul and Sandy. When the “stork” was about to hover for the thirteenth time, Mrs. Sawyer said: “My dear, what are we to call it?” “I should suggest ‘Sufficient,’” he replied.—Boston Herald. She Had. “Did you ever hear anything so idi- otic as that talk of Mrs. Softer's when she is addressing her baby?” queried one woman of another onthe street ear. . “Yes, I think I have,” was the reply. “Then, for heaven's sake, what was sty” “TI once heard a fat man talking to his canary bird.” Rheumatism and Other Biood Dis- eases are Cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Piils. “In the lead mines I was at work on my knees with my elbows pressed against rock walls, in dampuess and extremes of cold,’’ said Mr. J. G. Meukel, of 2975 Jackson avenue, Dubuque, Lowa, in de- scribing his experience to a reporter, “and it is not surprising that I con- tracted rheumatism. For three yearsI had attacks affecting the jointsof my aukles, knees and elbows. My ankles and knees became so swollen I could scarcely walk on uueven ground and a little pressure from a stone under my feet would cause me so much pain that I would nearly sink down. I was often obliged to lie in bed for several days at a time. My friends who were similariy troubled were getting no relief from doctors and I did not feel encouraged to throw money away for nothing. By chance I read the story of Robert Yates, of the Klauer Manufacturing Co., of Dubuque, who had a very bad case of rheumatism. I decided to try Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, the remedy he had used. In three or four weeks after beginning to use the pills, I was much better and in three mouths I was well. The swelling of the joints and the tenderness disappeared, I could work steadily and for eight years I have had no return of the trouble. My whole family believe in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Both my sons use therh. We cousider them a household remedy that we are sure about.”” 3 What Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills did for Mr. Meukel they are doing for hundreds of others. Every dose sends galloping through the veins, pure, strong, rich, red blood that strikes straight at the cause of all ill health.

What Children Are Rocked In—-Jusi as Happy. When a baby is born in Guinea al) sorts of fuhny things happen to it. Ite mother buries it in the sand up to its waist, so it cannot get into bad mis: chief, and this is the only cradle it knows anything about. The little Lapp infant is cradled in a shoe—his mother’s. This is a big affair covered with skin and. stuffed with soft moss. This can be hung on a tree or covered up with snow while mamma goes to church or any place where babies are not invited. The baby of India rides in a basket which hangs from its mother’s head or from her hip, or in a hammock. In some parts the baby’s nose is adorned with a nose ring, and in others its face is wrapped in a veil like its mother. The Chinese baby is tied to the back of an older child. The Mongolian infants travel about in bags slung on a camel’s back. In some countries the mothers lay their babies where a stream of water falls on their heads. This is to make them tough, which it does unless the babies die as a result of this treat ment. Another mother covers her baby’s head with paste, while the Tar. tar baby is covered with butter. The Turkish baby is salted—perhaps tc keep it sweet—while the worst fate of all falls to the lot of the newly born children in Bulgaria. Their mothers put a hot omelette on the little oaes’ heads te,make them solid and protect them f 5m sunstroke. The Bulgarian baby |,oesn’t like it any better than you would. He makes a great how] about it, but it is not a bit of use. His mother thinks she knows better about some things than he does, so he has tc submit, which he does with a very bad grace indeed. The Maid of Other Days. Oh, vanished maids of grandma's day, What darksome lives were those you led! Obliged in youth to pick your way; Uncertain paths to keep and tread; No experts had you to advise, To counsel, caution or direct Your maiden steps; no mentors wise, Or faithful watchers circumspect. When grandpapas 4-calling came, No chats with girls were yours to tell— The judgment of some worthy dame— The time to sound the curfew bell; And all in vain you sought the truth— ‘They tell it now—if 'twas a sin, When after dark a comely youth Had seen you home, to ask him in. You never learned—oh, vanished fair!— You could not, had it been your wish— The latest way to best prepare Your luncheon in a chafing-dish. And e’en perhaps you never read The fact that hungry companies Would rather starve than not be fed From Mrs. Cookem’s recipes. You could not tell, I'll wager now, Of countless things the etiquette; In_ spite of which, somewhere, somehow, You got your start; and yet—and yet It really is a problem quite To, find what saved you from the bad; You had no “Hints” to guide you right; Your mothers, they were all you had. —Arthur H. Folwell in The Sunday Mag- azine. King of the Penguins, The “emperor” penguin, one of the discoveries of Capt. Scott’s recent antarctic expedition, was the subject of an interesting illustrated lecture by Dr. Wilson before the recent orni- thological congress in London. The bird stands about four feet high, weighs eighty pounds or more, and with its black coat and erect posture has, when seen at a distance, a truly startling resemblance to a dwart man. These “emperors” of the pen- guin world live upon the great girdle of pack i¢e which surrounds the ant- arctic continent, and seem to depend daily for their food on crustaceans caught in the crevices of the ice. The female lays a solitary egg, which is caught on the great web feet, so that it never touches the ice, and is held there coveréd with the mother’s body until hatching occurs For a Girl to Know. Some one has suggested a few things that every girl can learn before she is 12. Not every one can learn to play or sing or paint well enougt to give pleasure to her friends, but the following “accomplishments” are within everybody's reach: Shut the door and shut it softly. Keep your own room in tasteful or der, Have an hour for rising, and rise. Never let a button stay off twenty- four hours. Always know where your things are. Never let a day pass without doing something to make somebody com: fortable. Learn to make bread as well as eake. Never go about with your shoés un buttoned. i Meat Is Unpopular. “I never knew meat to be so unpop ular as it has been this summer,” said a prosperous butcher. “Of course I al ways expect the meat sales to fall off in the warm weather, but this year ] have sold only one-half as much as | did last summer. One customer—a landlady, who has twenty-five board ers—tells me that she can hardly gei her boarders to touch the meat dishes, and she is rejoicing. Even ham, the old standby, which is generally in good demand even in the most scorching weather, is frowned upon, and the beei trust would soon go to pieces if its produce were no more popular the year round than it has been this sum mer. Snuff Boxes Again in Use, After having been on the semi-re- tired list for many years, the snuff box is once again in evidence in the shops. Even cigar stores had not not been showing sneeze-producer holders in recent seasons. The con- sumption of snuff is considerably greater in winter than in summer. REMEDIES USED BY MILLIONS. Truth About the Popular “Proprietary Medicines.” © The recent campaign against the use of proprietary medicines, conduct- ed in the columns of the Ladies’ Home Journal and Collier’s Weekly, has ‘evoked an answer from the Commit- ‘tee on Legislation of the Proprietary | Association. The committee says: “In considering the question raised by recent attacks upon proprietary medicines, every reasonable man will admit that there is a wide and legiti- mate field for the manufacture and sale of, medicines already prepared for generaliuse and easily obtainable at all times and everywhere. . - - As a matter of fact these medicines are not patented at all, and the popu- lar use of the word ‘patent’ in con- nection with them is a misnomer. Any pharmacist will tell you that practi- cally the only ‘patent’ medicines in use to-day are those which are manu- factured either by foreign or domestic pharmaceutical houses, and which are now almost exclusively dispensed by physicians or designated by them in their prescriptions. “The medicines which are now the subject of wholesale attack by Mr. Bok and Editor Hapgood are the old- fashioned family remedies properly described as ‘proprietary medicines.’ They are the favorite remedies among millions of people all over the coun- try; and, notwithstanding the constant effort of some physicians to create prejudice against them, no one ever yet heard of any of the millions of users of such remedies asking for legislation or other action averse to them.” —— Blow. Mr. Freshman—I am told that the wind blows quite strongly here at times. Prominent Citizen—Well, yes; that is so.. I've knowed it to blow for twelve days and nights on a stretch, an’ hold a sheep up against the side of a barn fourteen feet from the ground all that time, an’ never once let him fall. And another time it blew so hard that the crows in Farmer Tatercrop’s cornfield couldn‘t fly back tothe rook- ery, but they had to walk home. And another time it blew so hard that when young Spoonamore was crossed in love and tried to kill himself py jumping over a_ precipice, the wind blew him back again every time. I assure you, stranger, the wind can blow in these parts. Could Get No Rest. Freeborn, Minn., Sept. 18th (Spe- cial)—Mr. R. E. Goward, a well known man here, is rejoicing in the relief from suffering he has obtained through using Dodd’s Kidney Pills. His experience is well worth repeat- ing, as it should point the ‘road to health to many another in a similar condition. “T had an aggravating case of Kid- ney Trouble,” says Mr. Goward, “that gave me no rest day or night but using a few boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills put new life in me and I feel like a new man. “I am happy to state I have received great and wonderful benefit from Dodd’s Kidney Pills. I would heartily recommend all sufferers from Kidney Trouble to give Dodd’s Kidney Pills a fair trial as I have every reason to believe it would never be regretted.” Dodd's Kidney Pills make you feel like a new man or woman because they eure the Kidneys.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is the conquering of woman’s dread enemy, Tumor, So-called ‘‘ wandering pains” may come from its early stages, or the pres- ence of danger may be made manifest by excessive menstruation accompanied by unusual pain extending from the ovaries down the groin and thighs. , If you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation ulcera- tion or displacement, don’t wait for time to confirm your fears and go through the horrors of a hospital opera- tion; secure Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound right away arid begin its use and write Mrs. Pinkham of Lynn. Mass., for advice. Read these strong letters from grate- ful women who have been cured: Dear Mrs. Pinkbam:— (First Letter.) “In looking over your book I vee that your medicine cures Tumor of the Uterus. Ihave been to a doctor and he tells me I have a tu- mor. I will be more than grateful if you can pate me, as I do so dread an operation.” — ie D. Fox, 7 Chestnut St.,Bradford,Pa. Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— (Second Letter.) “T take the liberty to congratulate you on the success I have had with your wonderful medicine. “Eighteen months ago my monthlies stopped. “Shortly after I felt so badlyI sub- mitted to a thorough examination by a phy- sician, and was told that I had a tumor on the uterus and would have to undergo an operation. ; “Tsoon after read one of peta ad ments and decided to give Lydia E. Pink- bam! s Vegetable. Compound a trial.. After taking five bottles as directed, the tumor is entirely gone. I have again been examined Lydia E.

Another Case of Tumor Cured | by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta- ble Compound, Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— ‘“ About three years ago I had intense pain in my stomach, with cramps and raging headaches. The doctor prescribed for me, but finding that Idid not get any better he examined me and, to my surprise, declared | I had a tumor in the uterus. ‘ “T felt sure that it meant my death warrant, and was very disheartened. I spent hundreds of dollars in doctoring, but the tumor kept growing, till the doctor said that nothing but an operation would save me. Fortunately I corresponded with my auntin the New Eng- and States, who advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s ‘Vegetable (Gotapeata ated sub- mitting to an operation, and I at once started taking a treatment, finding to my great relief that my pores health began to improve, and after months I noticed that the tumor had reduced in size.

Limited ~ TORONTO, CANADA ‘300 aa WHEAT The undertone of strength which has been noted in the Wheat market has led Many otherwise well-informed persons to reach apparently false conclusions with regard to the course of the market. The fact that bull operators have emphasized the importance of disappointing yields in certain small localities is given a_ficti- tious value by many country traders. On the basis of the latest government crop estimate, our former figures of an ex- portable surplus from the United States of at least 200 million bushels is sup- ported and verified. When this one fact is taken into consideration in connection with the big Canadian yield and fair crops abroad, it will be seen that a tre- mendous supply of American Wheat must be marketed at the world’s level. The best informed section of the trade be- lieves that it will be difficult to main- tain prices even at their present level when the new crop really begins to move to market.

Suffered 23 Years From Constipation and Stomach Trouble Wilbert Thompson never knew a well day—he had been constipated all his life—many doctors treated him, but all failed to even help him—his health failed rapidly and on January 21, 1903, Mrs. Thompson asked us to suggest a treatment for her husband. We thought the case too serious and recommended that a specialist be consulted—but he also failed to help the patient -NOW HE IS WELL. Mull’s Grape Tonic Cured Him Mrs. Thompson first wrote us as follows: and sometimes thinks it is his heart. Let me know by return mail what causes the pain, if you can. ies has been treated by several doctors, but they have given him up.” 'e promptly advised that a first-class 5] Tonic, becanse we know it will cure constipation, but 50c. a bottle is no object to us when a human life is at stake. and if your husband’s case is as serious as you state, we suggest you consulta reliable specialist, not the adv tising kind, promptly.” At the same time knowing that Mull’s Grape Tonic could do no harm, we advised its use until a physician could be consulted. January 25th, Mrs. Thompson wrote that a physician had been con- sulted. He diagnosed the case as being chronic constipation and dys} fully, but there was no perceptible improvement in Mr. Thompson’s Tonic and on September 3, 1903, we received the following letter from Mrs. Thompson: “‘You will remember that! wrote to you last January In regard to my hus- band’s health.
