In a month sho would havo the spells again. At theso. times she would cat very Utile and was very yellow; oven tho whites of lier eyes would bo yellow. "Tho doctors gave us no encourage ment, they all said they could not help her. After taking ono box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, sho has not had ono bad spell. Of course, we continued tho treatment until sho bad used in all about a dozen boxes, and we still glvo them to her occasionally, when she is not feoling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the best medkiuo for growing girls." Mothers should heed tho advice of Mrs. Smith, for by so doing, they may save their daughters much pain and sickness and ensure a healthy, happy futuro for them. True Greatness.

TOGO'S CAUTIOUS TACTICS. Will Not Risk an Attack With Entire Fleet. LONDON Baron Hayashi, tho Ja panese mlnlstor to Great Britain, ex pressed tho opinion to tho Associated Press that Admiral Togo would not give battle to Admiral Rojestvensky with his entire squadron, but would contlnuo tho cautious tactics which characterized his attacks on tho Port Arthur squadron, not because ho feared defeat, but owing to his deslro to Inflict the greatest amount of dam ago on tho Russians with tho least loss to himself. While confident of his nbll'ty to accomplish tho total de struction of tho Russ'nn squadron In a big battle there Is tho danger of Togo losing ono or two of his big ships. Thoroforo Baron Hayashi ho llevos Togo will employ his torpedo beats and torpedo boat destroyers, which number moro than 100, and are vastly superior to tho Russian torpedo boat flotilla, In hnrnsslng tho Russinns, while gradually picking off tho Russian warships.

Ho Baw It first tho muffler that hecamo hie own on tho nock of n man to whom ho had Just been Intro duced. ' "I llko your muffler," ho said, by way of conversation.

As to the depth to plant a tree, it seems to ho tho general Idea that tho futuro prosperity of the tree Is pro portionate to tho depth and firmness with which it Is placed In tho ground, nnd tho percontngo that plant too shallow is almost too insignificant to bo worth considering, for tho elnnlng 1b all In tho opposite direction. Look for tho mnrk mado by tho earth on the tnsnk of tho tree when It stood in tho nursery, and going by that, you will make no mistake. Tho roots want warmth, light and moist ure, such as they recolvo whon placed proporly, but when hermetically sealed two to throo feet In tho ground, It Is Impossible to develop nny vigorous root action while con tending against tho terribly handicap lng conditions. Glvo your treo plen ty of feeding ground, pleuty of good, fibrous earth, and if tho placo of planting la not naturally suitable, dig It out deep and put In what Is need ed. Suburban Life. Success.
