SEVEN YEARS OF SUFFERING Ended at Last Through Using Doan's Kidney Pills. Mrs. Selina Jones of 200 Main St. Ansonia, Conn., says: “If it had not been for Doan’s Kid- ney Pills 1 would not be alive to-day. Seven years ago I was so, bad with pain in the back, and so weak that I had to keep to my room, and was in bed sometimes six weeks at a_ spell. Beginning with Doan’s Kidney Pills, the kidney weak- ness was soon corrected, and inside a week»all the pain was gone. I was also relieved of all headaches, dizzy spells, soreness and feelings of lan- guor. 1 strongly recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills. Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y, A man may believe he is better than his neighbor, but his neighbor never believes it. Eminent Doctors Praise Its Ingredients, We refer to that boon to weak, nervous, suffering women known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Dr. John Fyfe one of the Editorial Staff of Tue Eciecric Mepican Review says of Unicorn root (Helonias Dioica) which is one of the chief ingredients of the “Fa- yorite Prescriptio “A remedy which invariably acts as a uter- ine invigorator * * * makes for normal ac- tivity of the entire reproductive system.” He continues ‘in Helonias we have a medica- ment which more fully answers the above purposes han any other drug witn which I am acquainted. In the treatment of diseases pe- culiar to women it is seldom that a case is ween which does not present some indication for this remedial agent.” Dr. Fyfe further says: “The following are among the leading indications for Helonias (Unicorn root). Pain or aching in the back, with leucorrbeea; atonic (weak) conditions ‘of the reproductive organs of women, mp tal depression and ir- ritability, associated {ch chronic diseases of the reproductive org ¥is of women, constant sensation of heat in the region of the kid- neys; menorrhagia (flooding), due to a weak- ened condition of the reproductive system; Smenorrhoea (suppressed or absent monthly periods), arising from or accompanying an sbnormal condition of the digestive organs and anemic (thin blood) habit; dragging fensations in the extreme lower part of the abdomen.” If more or Jess of the above symptoms are present, no invalid woman can do better than take Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, one of the leading ingredi- ents of which is Unicorn root, or Helonias, and the medical properties of which it most faithfully represents, Of Golden Seal root, another prominent ingredient of “Favorite Prescription,” Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Ben- nett Medical College, Chicago, says: “It is an important remedy in disorders of the womb. In all catarrhal conditions * * and general enfeeblement, it is useful.” Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., late of Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root: “In relation to its general effects on the system, there is no medicine in use about which there is such general unanimity of opinion. It is universally regarded as the tonic useful in all debilitated states.” Prof. Bartholow, M. D., of Jefferson Medical College, says of Golden Seal: “Valuable in uterine hemorrhage, menor- Fhugia (flooding) and congestive dysmenor- rhoea (painful menstruation).” Dr. Pierce’s Favnrite Prescription faith- fully represents all the above named in- gredients and cures the diseases for which they are recommended. Habits of Kings. i The sovereigns of Europe have all their own peculiar habits. For exam- ple, King Edward has a way of pass- ing his finger backward and forward under his chin; the German emperor twirls his mustache with energy, while the king of Italy strokes his gently and affectionately; the emperor of Austria combs out his whiskers and the czar frequently passes his hand over the top of his head. Furnishing the Proof. “You say your mistress is asleep?” “Yes, ma’am, and can’t be disturbed. “Come, now, are you sure she is asleep?” “Of course she is. Can’t you hear for yourself? There, now.” And down from the upper region floated a sound that suggested the deep nasal hum of an asthmatic trom- bone. “1-Knew-Him-When” Club. George Ade was talking with a friend the other day when the name of a third man was mentioned. “Do you know him?” Ade was ask- ed. “Ob, yes,” replied the author. “He belongs to the ‘I-knew-him-when’ club.” “What club is that?” the friend ask- ed. “Oh, those are the fellows back home who talk about me and say, “Why, I knew him when he was work- ing around here and you'd never think he was going to amount to anything.’ It has a big membership.” FOUND OUT. A Trained Nurse Discovered Its Effect. No one is in better position to know the value of food and. drink than a trained nurse. Speaking of coffee a nurse of Wilkes- parre, Pa., writes: “I used to drink strong coffee myself and _ suffered greatly from headaches and indiges- tion. While on a visit to my brothers 1 had a good chance to try Postum Food Coffee, for they drank it alto- gether in place of ordinary coffee. In twe weeks after using Postum, I found I was much benefited and finally my headaches disappeared and also the in- digestion. “Naturally I have since used Postum among my patients, and have noticed a marked benefit where coffee has been left off and Postum used. “I observe a curious fact about Post- um used among mothers. It greatly helps the flow of milk in cases where eoffee is inclined to dry it up, and where tea causes nervousness. “{ find trouble in getting servants to make Postum properly. They most al- ways serve it before it has béen boiled jong enough. It should be boiled’15 or 20 minutes and served with cream, when it is certainly a deli¢ious bever- age.” “There’s a season” for Postum. NEW YORK TO HAVE HIGH- EST OFFICE STRUCTURE, It Will Be Thirty Stories High and Will Cost $3,250,000—To Be Le- cated on Lower Broadway at Cortlandt Street. Giant among office buildings of the world, the City Investing Building company will tower above the great structures of lower Broadway, New York city. This latest product of the architect and builder’s art isyto be 30 stories high in its central part and 25 stories throughout the remainder. It will cover a ground area of 27,- 000 square feet at Broadway and Cort- TOWERING UNTO HEAVEN. landt street, surrounding the old Ben- edict building. The western part will cover the site of the Coal and Iron Exchange, at Cortlandt and Church streets, with a frontage in Cortlandt street of 209 feet and of 103 feet in Church street. The Broadway — en- trance will be in Nos. 165 and 167, and a main corridor 38 feet wide will run through to Church street, a dis- tance of 315 feet. The cost of this pile will be more than $3,250,000. In line with the policy of Robert E. Dowling, president of the City Investing company, to give to tenants quick and abundant trans- portation facilities, the building will have 21 elevators. It is probable that the building will have an entrance to the McAdoo tun- nel, which will come up to Church street, under Cortlandt street, and will turn north under the south side of that thoroughfare. This has not yet been decided upon. In style of architecture the building will be what is technically known as free Italian. The adoption of this type of architecture has given the architect, Francis H. Kimball, an op- portunity to produce a structure whose massive appearance will be im- posing. THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW Not Essential to the Drawing of an Understandable Wiil. Every man who has ever tried to guess one of those conundrums known as in- surance policies, or who has ever at- tempted to translate into intelligent English any legal document, with all its whereases and its herebys and its afore- saids, will appreciate the sentiments of Deacon Elphonzo Youngs, of Washing- ton, who, when making his will, hark- ened to the lawyer’s opening paragraph, and then exclaimed: “Rats! all there is about this is that at my death I want by ever-faithful and devoted wife, Amelia, to have and con- trol everything I possess.” If that will would not hold in law, says the Four-Track News—there be- ing no possible room for doubt as to the intent thereof—the fault is with the law, not the will.

A little lacquered, wooden ae now MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE | in the possession of the Lynn His-, torical society, and labeled simply “Old Jury Box,” could, had it a tongue, tell a long and most interest- ing story of the growth of the town and city of Lynn during the past 200' years. The box itself is like most other boxes made in the early part of the eighteenth century, dovetailed at the corners and glued together. It is not a large box, yet the names of many of Lynn’s best citizens have been drawn from it for service on a jury sitting in judgment on their fellow- men. On the bottom of the box are the figures “1732,” and it is thought that this is the date the box was made. By whom it was ‘constructed nobody seems to know, and nothing can be found in the old town records regard- ing its use. However, it is known that it was used nearly 200 years, and that it is probably the oldest box in Lynn to-day. From the time it was constructed until 1903 it was in constant use. But as the years rolled by and the town grew into a city, and a small city into one of great proportions, the box proved too small to hold the names of the jurors. In 1903 City Clerk Joseph W. Att- will ordered a new jury box to be made. This is of oak and much larger than the old box. Soon after the com- pletion of the new box the old box was presented to the Lynn Historical society, and at present rests in a large wall cabinet. The box has a bail of hand-wrought iron and an old-fashioned lock and hinges of the same material. A little slot in the top admits of dropping the names into the box. The inside is left in the natural wood, but the outside is Jacquered, and is about the color of old mahogany. ODD TIMBER RAFTS. The Lumber Industry of America as Seen by an English Paper. America is so rich in timber—she possesses 300 species of trees of which the smallest grows as high as 30 feet—and has such magnificent rivers that the timber trade is carried out TIMBER RAFT AFLOAT. on a scale which we in our little coun- try can scarcely imagine, says the London Sphere. Many of these rafts fioat of their own accord, while others are hauled by curious vessels known as “alligators.” They are specially used on the Canadian lakes and rivers and have been de- scribed as a cross between a boat and a grasshopper, for they can navigate a dry and dusty road or make their way through a swamp or over a wind- fall. The Lumber Jack is said to be losing some of his old picturesqueness, but he retains enough individuality ie mark him off from other classes of workers. He is simple and natural, generous and fearless, manly and in- dependent. The picture shown in this column illustrate the method of lum- bering in western Washington, When the logs are cut they are either skid- ded down to the rivers or are floated thither and bound together with enor- mous chains. Im many cases they are built into a sort of floating cage which is released from beneath them when the pile is completed. It is no uncom- mon sight to see a raft containing logs worth $1,000,000, A MYSTERIOUS COIN. A Peculiar Trick That You Will Not Be Able to Explain Sat- isfactorily.

If physicians dared to be frank and open, hundreds of them would acknow]- edge that they constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound in severe cases of female ills, as they know by experience it can be re- Hed upon to effect a cure. The follow- ing letter proves it. Dr. 8.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. If advice is needed write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty- five years has been advising sick women free of charge. Noother living person has had the benefit of a wider experience in treating female ills.

One Recommendation. St. Vitus was speaking of the cele- brated dance that had been named in his honor. “To be sure,” he said, “it isn’t grace- ful. You can’t call it the poetry of mo- tion. But it has one good point—it can be performed without music.” Reflecting, however, that some one might suggest Songs Without Words as an appropriate accompaniment for the dance, he hastened to change the subject. A Sure Sign. Co]. Charles W. Larned, professor of drawing at West Point, stood in the sunshine under an elm. “The spring is rather backward, sir,” said a cadet. “Oh, no,” said Col. Larned. “The daffodils, the crocusses and vi- olets are very backward, sir,” the ca- det insisted, respectfully. “Nevertheless,” said Col, Larned, “there is no doubt that spring is really here at last.” “Why, sir, do you think so?” the ca- det asked. “Because all the comic artists,” said Col. Larned, “have now begun to put vegetation in their backgrounds.” | \ | ; Ine, so finally I went to the hospital | beyond description; it seemed a mir- \ tn a Pinch, Use ALLEN'S FOOT-EASE. | A powder. ‘It cures fainful, smart- ing, nervous feet and ingrowing nails.

Foot—System All Run Down— | Miraculous Cure by Cuticura. | “Words cannot speak highly enough ! for the Cuticura Remedies. I am now seventy-two years of age. My system had been allrun down. My blood was so bad that blood poisoning had set in. I had several doctors attending where I was laid up for two months. My foot and ankle were almost be- yond recognition. Dark blood flowed out of wounds in many places and I | was so disheartened that I thought surely my last chance was } slowly leaving me. As the foot did not improve, you can readily imagine how I felt. I was simply disgusted and tired of life. I stood this pain, which was dreadful, for six months, and during this time I was not able to wear a shoe and not able to work. Some one spoke to me about Cuticura. The consequences were I bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies of one of my friends who was a druggist, and the praise that I gave after the second application is acle for the Cuticura Remedies took effect immediately. I washed the foot with the Cuticura Soap before apply- ing the Ointment and I took the Re- solvent at the same time. After two} weeks’ treatment my foot was healed completely. People who had seen my foot during my illness and who have | seen it since the cure, can hardly be- lieve their own eyes. Robert Schoen- hauer, Newburg, N. Y.
