——<. eee eee BLOATED WITH DROPSY. The Heart Was Badly Affected When the Patient Began Using Doan’s Kidney Pills. Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwell, of 415 West fourth street, Olympia, Wash., says: “For over three years I suffered with a dropsical condition with- out being aware Bs that it was due "to kidney trou- ble.' The early stages were principally back- ache and bear- ing down pain, but I went along without worrying much until dropsy set in. My feet and ankles swelled up, my hands puffed and became so tense I could hardly close them. Ihad great difficulty in breathing, and my heart would flutter with the least ex- ertion. I could not walk far without stopping again and again to rest. Since using four boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills the bloating has gone down and the feelings of distress have disap- peared.

The London and Provincial Orni- thological society is celebrating the attainment of its majority by holding a cage bird show at the Camberwell Baths, says the London Chronicle, where one can see a good many freak birds. There is, for instance, a hybred of a canary and bullfinch, the only one of its class. Other rare crosses in- clude the offspring of red poll and goldfinch, of siskin and goldfinch, of greenfinch and goldfinch and green- finch and linnet. Then there are the albinos, marked out for a lack of col- oring in plumage, which places them at a disadvantage in the struggle for existence. A white jackdaw, a white robin and a white blackbird there are, thankful, perhaps, to be protected in cages; a whitish chiff-chaff has excited some doubts about his lineage. It has been observed that the aver- age man is never so happy as when he is posing as a critic. TOP PRICES FOR CHICKENS, DUCKS, ‘Turkeys, Geese, Butter, Eggs, Veal, Furs. Ship to-d H. A. Ertz, St. Paul, Minn. WEIGHING OF PLANETS. They Are Estimated as “Masses” by the Astronomers. If a ham weighing thirty pounds were taken up to the moon and weigh- ed there, the “pull’—the attractive foree of the moon upon. the ham— would amount to five pounds. There would be another weight of the ham for the planet Mars, and yet another on the sun. A ham weighing thirty pounds at New York ought to weigh some 800 pounds on the sun’s surface. Hence the astronomer does not speak of the weight of a planet, because that would depend upon the place where {t was weighed. But he speaks of the mass of the planet, which means how much planet there is, no matter where it might be weighed. At the same time we might, without any inexactness, agree that the weight of a heavenly body should be fixed by the weight it would have in New York. As we could not imagine a planet in New York, because it may be larger than the earth itself, what we are to imagine is this. Suppose the planet could be divided into a million million million equal parts and one of these parts brought to New York and weighed. We could easily find its weight in pounds or tons. Then multi- ply this by a million million million, and we shall haye a weight of the planet. This would be equivalent to what astronomers might take as the mass of the planet. ‘NEVER TIRES Of the Food That Restored Her to Health. “My food was killing me and I didn’t know the cause,” writes a Colo. young lady. “For two years I was thin and sickly, suffering from indigestion and inflammatory rheumatism. “{ had tried different kinds of diet, plain living, and many of the remedies recommended, but got no better. “Finally, about five weeks ago, mother suggested that I try Grape- Nuts, and I began at once, eating it with a little cream or milk. A change for the better began at once. “To-day I am well and am gaining weight and strength all the time. I’ve gained 10 Ibs. 1m the last five weeks and do not suffer any more from indi- gestion and the rheumatism is all gone. “I know it is te Grape-Nuts alone that I owe niy restored health. I still eat the food twice a day and never tire of it.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. The flavor of Grape-Nuts is peculiar to itself. It is neutral, not too sweet and has an agreeable, healthful qual- ity that never grows tiresome. One of the sources of rheumatism {s from overloading the system with acid material, the result of imperfect digestion and assimilation. As soon as improper food is aban: doned and Grape-Nuts is taken regu- larly, digestion is made strong, the or- gans do their, work of building up good red blood cells and of carrying away the excess of disease-making materia] from the system. The result is a certain and steady return to normal health and mental activity. “There’s a reason.” Read the little book “The Road to Wel} ville” in pkgs. STATE WILL TAKE CARE OF WOMEN OF WAR GOOD New building for Women at the Soldiers’ Home Has Been Opened—A Comfortable Home Provided for Their Declining Years. The new women’s building at the state soldiers’ home at Minnehaha Park, which is now open and in use, fills a long-felt want in that it affords the state an opportunity for taking care of the mothers, wives and wid- ows of the soldiers, which it has been unable to do heretofore. The building has been erected with a view to pro- |} viding a homelike place for clining days of those dependent on the old soldiers, whose services for their country . demanded the their lives or rendered them physical- ly unable to provide for themselves } and those and those dependent upon | them for support. The new building has an imposing location in the park, overlooking the group of older buildings and the sur- rounding country. The building is very pleasing in appearance, and is so arranged as to insure plenty of light ; and ventilation in all the rooms. The building is lighted by electricity and heated with steam. The completion of the new building affords the married soldiers at the home an opportunity of again joining their wives, as the rules of the new in- stitution allow the wives of the sol- diers already at the home to enter, and they are given a home together in the new building. There are now sixteen inmates in the new building, seven of whom are men. The rule does not, however, allow a wife who has been separated from her husband, to enter the home unless a reconcilia- tion is effected. The agitation for a women’s build- ing at the home was started in earn- est about three years ago, when the Women’s Relief corps tock up the matter. Prior to that time the only accommodation provided for the sol- diers’ mothers, wives or widows was at Anoka, where a small home maintained he ladies of the G. R., assisted to a certain extent by the soldiers’ home board with money from the relief fund. The pensions of the inmates were used in carrying on the work there, but the accommodations were limited and the need of a larger institution, supported ‘by the state be- came evident. The matter was taken up with the soldier’s home board, and a committee of ladies was sent to Marshalltown Iowa, to inspect the women’s home in that city. When the committee re- ONE OF THE Canby room in the woman's building the de- | sacrifice of | estimates showed that the appropria- tion would not allow of the use of these plans without important modifi- cations, and it was decided to reduce the length of the building thirty-six feet, to leave out one of the wings and | to leave the whole third floor tncom- pleted, reducing the capacity to about 125, but not changing the general ap- pearance of the structure. After the work had been commenced, however, other funds were found to be availa- ble for use in the building, and the third floor has been finished, making the whole building in its present di- mensions available for use. The arrangement of all three floors is practically alike. The building is admirably adapted for the use of the inmates. Both ends of the building are in the form of large circular tow- ers, making six large reception rooms, parlors and sitting rooms. The kitch- en and dining room are in the base- ment, and a large cold storage room adjoins the kitchen. Commodious halls run through the entire length of the main building and through the wings, and all of the rooms are well ventilated and receive light from the outside. All of the furnishings, except the heavy furnishings for the kitchen and dining room, have been provided by the relief corps, tablets bearing the names of the various local corps will be placed in the doors, the rooms to bear the name of each corps having been selected by drawing lots. The local corps, however, will not have the right to designate the per- sons who are to occupy the rooms bearing its name. Other patriotic societies also have assisted in fitting up the large rooms” in the building, including the recep- | tion rooms and parlors in the ends of the building and the library. Among. these societies were the Daughters of the American Revol’ and the HISS B. A. HUGHES, 1 Matron of the women’s dormitory at the Soldiers’ Home..

Two years ago the legislature ap- propriated $75,000 for this purpose. The original plans provided for the accommodation of 200 people, but the the Women’ Ss ‘Relief corps of the state, which raised a fund of $2,500 to $3,000 for this purpose through a contribu- tion of $50 from each of the local corps. The fund was turned over to the soldiers’ home board, which pur- chased the furnishings, in order that there would be uniformity throughout.

The only women entitled to admis- sion to the home are the mothers, wifes and widows of soldiers. The main conditions of eligibility are that the applicants must be in need and without means of support, at least fif- ty-four years old, must have lived in the state at least five years prior to the date of application and must have been married to the soldier through whom they claim the right of admis- sion (if a wife or widow) prior to 1890. The latter rule follows the United States pension rule. There is-also a large room on the second floor, built expressly for a hos- | pital ward, with a small operating room adjoining. There are several toilet and bath rooms on each of the three floors. Hard on Hank. “What has become of Hank?” in quired the man who was selling wind- mills. “Hank?” drawled the old farmer. “Why, Hank is suffering from a bad spell.” “You don’t say. Rheumatism?” “Worse than that, neighbor. You see Hank tried to spell his words the way President Roosevelt dictated, an’ his boss thought he couldn’t spell at all an’ fired him.” WOMEN’S DORMITORY. STATE SOLDIERS’ HOME. One Day Late. Ernest had been to a children’s party and eaten all that he could pos- sibly put beneath his little blouse, but it nearly broke his heart to think he could not do greater justice to the feast of good things before him. A bright idea came to him. Early next morning he went around to the scene of the festivities, and on being asked by Mrs. Johnson what he would like, replied, “I'd Hke all the things I couldn’t eat yesterday, please.” Easily Determined.

Others refer to Peruna as a great catarrh remedy. Which of these people are right ? Is it more proper to call Peruna a catarrh rem- edy than to call it a tonic ? Our reply is, that-Peruna is both a tonic and acatarrh remedy. be no effectual catarrh remedy that is not also a tonic. In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, a remedy must not only have a specific action on the mucous membranes affected by the catarrh, but it must have a general tonic action on the nervous system. Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is a weakened condition of some mucous membrane. There must be something to strengthen the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces. Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. The wonderful efficacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing inits hold upon the medical profession. When joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a trio of medical agents is formed in Peruna which constitutes a specific remedy for catarrh that in the present state of medi- cal progress cannot be improved upon. This action, reinforced by such renowned tonics as COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, CORYDALIS FORMOSA and CEDRON SEED, Indeed, there cam “ e body. perience confirms a well-grounded theory th it to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When practical ex- e result is a truth that cannot be shaken. His Ambition. Yellow covered literature was not allowed in the Benson family, but Har- old had friends who narrated to him some of the stirring tales they had read. “What is your ambition, Harold?” asked an aunt who was visiting the Benson household, and was blessed with a long purse. “Perhaps you've | not decided yet what you'd like to be or do by and by,” she added. “Oh, yes, Aunt Ellen,” said Harold, shaking his head at such a suggestion. “I’m all decided.
