(Special) In this section of Pennsylvania thero is a growing belief that for such Kid ney Diseases as Rheumatism and Lame Back thero is only ono suro cure and that Is Dodd's Kidney Pills.

I was also bothered with Lamo Back and I can only say that my back hasn't bothered mo slnco I took Dodd's Kid ney Pills." Considering that Mrs. Davison only took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, tho result would be considered wonder ful if it were not that others are re porting similar results dally.

Rudyard Kipling and Frank Stock ton, author of "Tho Lady and tho Ti ger," were chatting on one occasion about India, when the latter said: "By the way, Kipling, I'm thinking of go ing over to India somo day myself." "Do- so, my dear fellow," replied Mr. Kipling with a suspicious warmth of of cordiality. "Como as soon as ever you can!

Then we'll lay you on your back and have ono of tho very biggest elephants. stand over you and poise his ample forefoot directly over your head.' Then I'll say In my most insinuating tones, 'Come, now, Stock ton, which was it tho lady or tho tiger?' What would you do then?" "Oh, well, that's easy enough. I should tell you a He."

The city Is built on volcanic ground and the Internal fires are still smold ering. A visit to the St. Lucas hot sulphur baths across tho Danube nt Buda might lead tho visitor to think that the infernal regions aro not far off, nnd Indeed a humorous preacher could mako good use of this when moralizing on the gay and luxuriant lire of tho Pesth half of tho consoll dated town.

LANGTRY AFTER EASY MONEY. English Actress Will Make Vaudeville Tour of America. The fact that Mrs. Langtry is com ing to act In the New York vaudeville theaters does not necessarily show that sho needs the money. It Is truo that sho built In London several years ago a theater which haseen a source of almost continuous loss, but sho is not poor. Sho has a mania for increas ing her cash bank account and is in tho habit of turning her property into cash whenever she feels that her bal ance needs It. To havo her deposit go below a certain Bum seems to her the approach of grim poverty. Last spring sho sold sqmo of her Jewels be cause her bank nccount had fallen below what sho believed it should be.

Tho cheap baking powders havo but ono recommendation: they certainly1 give tho purchaser plenty of powder for his money. These powders aro so carelessly made from Inferior ma terials that they will not mako light; wholesome food. Further, theso cheap baking powders havo a vory small per centage of leavening gas; thereforo It takes from two to threo times ns much of Buch powder to ralso Uio cako or biscuit as It does of Calumet Baking Powder. Thereforo, In tho long run, tho actual cost to tho consumer of such powders Is moro than Calumet would be. Cheap baking powders leave tho bread sometimes bleached and acid, sometimes yellow and alka line, arid always unpalatablo. They aro never of uniform strength and quality. Why not buy a perfectly wholesomo baking powder like Calumet, that Is at tho same tlmo moderate in price and ouo which can ho relied upon? Calu met is always tho same, keeps Indef initely and gives tho cook tho least troublo. , Boon for Tired Housekeepers.

"You will doubtless understand how the suffering with indigestion with which I used to bo troubled made my work an almost unendurable burden, and why it was that after my Sabbath dutos had been performed, sleep was a stranger to my pillow till nearly day light. - "I had to be very careful as to wha I ate, and even with all my care I ex perlenced poignant physical distress after meals, and my food never satis fied me. "Sir months havo elapsed slnco I began to use Grape-Nuts food, and the benefits I have derived from it aro very definite. I no longer suffer from indigestion, and I began to improv from the time Grape-Nuts appeared on our table. I find that by eating a dish of it after my Sabbath work Is dono (and I always do so now) my nerves are quieted and rest and refreshine sleep are ensured me. I reel that I could not possibly do without Orape Nuts food, now that I know Its value.
