Practically nothing is known of the

bought It out, looked after it for ton

GRATEFUL TO CUTICURA
For Instant Relief and Speedy Cure of
Raw and Scaly Humour, Itching
Day and Night Suffered
Months.
"I wish you would publish this let
ter so that others suffering as I havo
may bo helped. For months awful
sores covored my faco and nock, scabs
forming, Itching terribly day and
night breaking open, and running
blood and matter. I had tried many
remedies, but was growing worse,
when I started with Cutlcura. The
first application gave mo Instant re
llof, and when I had used two cakes
of Cutlcura Soap and three boxes of
Cutlcura Ointment, I was completely
cured, (slgncdj Miss Nellie Vander

Rough on Shakespeare.
After a recent bank holiday in Lon
don ono of tho pollco courts tho next
morning had among its "drunk nnd

ho was William Shnkosponro. "Is that

Just your nom do guorro?" "Well

is true that I was not chrlstoncd Wil

hated to bring dishonor and dlBgraco

Hopeless Case.
In a London bookshop a woman
wanted a copy of Browning's works.
"I haven't got It, madam," replied tho
booksellor: "I mako It a rulo never
to koep any .books I can't understand,
and I can't mako head or tail of Mr.
Browning." Determined to buy a book
anyway, the customor asked: "Havo
you Praed, then?" "Yes, madam,"
quoth tho bookseller, "I've prayed, and
that docBn't help me."
Problem of the Unemployed.
On tho wholo, says an English
statosman, I am inclined to think that
tho encouragoment of strength of
character and tho spirit of self-re-llanco
aro the truest remedies for tho
problem of tho unemployed.
Thnt Americans aro great meat cat
ers may be considered a fact of de
rivation from tho hunting and fishing
Btago of tho country's life. So long
as meat was abundant and cheap it
had the recommendations which lea
to its cholco as Uio prlnciplo article of
food. Tho vegetarian who hero and
thero raised his volco in protest
against tho consumption of flesh foods
was littlo heeded- A pcoplo aro guhl
cd in tho selection of their foods vory
littlo by deliberate cholco. They eat
tho things which aro closest to hand.
The tlmo may como with that remote
future to which Is reforred everything
Utopian whon nations will deliberate
ly select tho predominating articles of
their diet with reference to tho devel
opment of specific racial characteris
tics. But at present peoplo in general
aro not even convinced that what
they eat has relovancy to what, as a
nation, they become.
For n fow centuries to come, Amer
icans certainly will continue to eat
tho "food convenient to them," while
goodVhumoredly allowing tho sorcal
Ists to ticklo their palates with health
foods. But ovon American independ
ence or Indifference is nmonablo to
tho dictates of destiny. Just now
Americans seem destined to drift moro
Btrongly than evor toward a fruit diet
Tho moving consideration is tho fancy
figures, with an upward tendency, at
whioh flesh foods aro sold. Tho other
consideration is tho abundance and
sheapness of fruits. As wisdom takes
counsel of necessity, a third motlvo,
which of Itself would not havo great
weight, is the superior wholesomoness
of fruit foods.
We produce tho biggest apple crops
'.n tho world, our peach crops aro un
paralleled, our watermelons and small
Trults respond in abundnnco to the
moro tickling of the soil with a hoe.
Tho samo Btory holds true of all do
mcstlce fruits. But this term has be-
somo elastic. California distributes
throughout tho country great quanti
ties of tropical fruits and tho area of
cultivation of these is constantly ex
tending. When tho Panama trench Is
dug tho Pacific coast fruits can be
brought to tho eastern markets with
greater celerity and loss cost Mod
ern means of transportation havo
made tho plantations of tho West In
dies also almost tho same as though
they wero within tho country confines.
It is safo to predict that tho con
sumption of bananas especially will
soon bo increased. Oranges aro being
consumed in rapidly increasing quan
tities. Certainly during tho summer
months fruit will be king. During tho
winter months the force of habit will
prevail and moro fruit and less meat
will be eaten. Baltimoro Herald.

Hardly Too Much to Ask.

told: "Hie father was tho most orig

mado you a duko. You might do

Voice from Arkansas.
Cleveland, Ark., July 31st (Spe
cial) Nearly every newspaper tells
of some wonderful cure of some form
of Kidney Disease by the Great Amer
ican Remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and this part of Arkansas Is not with
out its share of evidence that no case
is too deeply rooted for Dodd's Kidney
Pills to cure.
Mr. A. E. Carlllc, well known and
highly respected here, tells of his cure
after nearly a quarter of a century's
suffering. Mr. Carlilo says:
"I want to let the public know what
I think of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I
think they aro tho best remedy for
sick kidneys ever mado.
"I had Kidney Trouble for 23 years
and never found anything that did mo
so much good as Dodd's Kidney Pills.
I recommend them to all sufferers."
Thero is no uncertain sound about
Mr. Carlllo's statement. He knows
that Dodd's Kidney Pills rescued him
from a lifts of suffering and ho wants
tho public to know It Dodd's Kidney
Pills euro all Kidney ills from Back-
apho to Bright's Disease.
Mtntal Faculties Greatly Disturbed by
Noise.
"Noise, In my Judgment, Is ono of
the most powerful and most success
ful disorganizes of tho mental facul
ties In the world," said a thoughtful
citizen to a representative of tho
Now Orleans Times-Democrat, "and
when wo reflect on the enormous ln
creaso In noises of all kinds, wo will
probably be convinced that the tlmo
Is rapidly coming when the raco will
bo in no small danger mentally on ac
count of noise. Progress is noisy;
necessarily bo, I suppose. But when
I speak of progress of tho noisy typo,
I, of course, mean material progress.
Wo can't build. In a material sonse,
without making noise. Intellectual
progress oven is not always along
quiet lines. But I was thinking of
noise in a lighter aspect Havo you
not noticed how soma men becomo
mentally reckless on account of loud
talking? Havo you not noticed that
children will sometimes shriek them
selves into a highly nervous state?
They becomo mentally disorganized
on account of the noiso they make. I
was a rather close observer of a man
at a gamo of baseball the other day.
Ho started to yelling gently and grad
ually worked his way up to tho alti
tude of the shrieking rooter. Before
that game ended that fellow was as
mad as a March hare. Ho had been
crazed by his own voice. Nolso is a
dreadful dlstfactor, when you como to
think of it, and the trouble about the
noisy 'rooter' at a ball game is that
in driving himself to the madhouse ho
is likely to take a few other fellows
with him."

ME TOO
Tho "Tall Enders" That Follow Gen
uine Articles.
It is sometimes interesting to watch
tho curves imitators moke to get tho
public to buy imitations of genuine
goods.
Every now aud then somo one will
think tfecro la a splendid opening to
fix up somothing like Postuin Coffee
and advertlso fho same way and tako
some of tho business.
An Imitator is naturally Ignorant of
food values and how to skillfully
make a oereal coffee, on scientific
lines.
Such men first think of preparing
somothing that look3 and tastes llko
the original, with no knowledgo of
how the grains should bo treated to
preparo them so that the starchy part
Is transformed properly and the val
uablo nourishing elements mado di
gestible. Such imitations may bo foisted on
tho public for a short time, but the
people are critical and soon detect the
attempt then tho imitators go out of
business.
Something, like 400 of these little
factories havo been Btarted In various
parts of this country in the past 9
years, and practically all of them havo
gone the "long Journoy." Just lately
a new ono has come to lire and evi
dently hopes to Insert ltsolf in public
favor by copying the style of the Post
urn advertising in the papers.
This is a free country and every
man who makes an honest product
and honestly labels It has reason for
some recognition, but the public has
tho right to know tho facts.
Postum Is the pno original and gen
uine Cereal Coffee, mado skillfully
and for a definite purpose. It has
stood through all the wars of tho Im
itators, has won the approval of tho
Physicians aud the peoplo.
People who really seek to free"
themselves from tho coffee habit and
at the same tlmo to rebuild the soft
gray matter in the nerve centers, and
thus reconstruct tho nervous system,
broken down by coffee, can rely on
Postum.
There's a reason.
Drove Trade In Autographs.
Dr. W. G. Graco, the most famous
cricketer in England, probably has
given his autograph as often as any
other celebrity. At a match not long
ago he .wrote his name In tho note
book of a little girl. A couple of
weeks later, much to his surprise, tho
same little lady shyly sidled up to
him with tho necessary documents
and the request for his autograph.
"But I gnvo it you only a few days
ago," laughingly said tho votefan.
"Oh," came tho answer, "I changed
that ono for two bishops." Dr. Graco
laughed heartily as ho replied: "Well,
my dear, If a cricketer is worth two
bishops I don't bellevo I ought to glvo
you another autograph. But your
nalvette is so delicious I suppose I
must So thero you are."
WHY DO AMERICANS SUCCEED?
Why do we lead all the nations of
the earth In prosperity, happiness and
Individual contentment?
Why are we, as a people, regarded na
an Invincible power of Impregnable
strength?
And why do we compel the admira
tion of the whole world at times
grudgingly given, but given, anyhow?
It Is because we are free and inde
;endent In the truest meaning of the
vords.
We think fqr ourselves, act for our
selves, govern ourselves mora than the
people of any other nation.
Wo nro absolutely self-reliant, a na
tional trait that renders us Independ
ent of all other nations. Independence
la the keynote of our supremacy.
And this Is the reason why up-to-dato
grocers and storekeepers appreci
ate the fact that Americans of both
sexes have strong wills of their own,
and do not need Interested advice.
Every up-to-date grocer knows per
fectly well that for more than a quar
ter of a century Lion Coffee has been
the leading package coffee and a wel
come drink at the tables of millions of
American homes.
He knows and everybody else Knows
that It has always kept Its old
friends and steadily made new ones.
Good, reliable, trustworthy grocers
willingly acknowledge this, and all In
dependent housekeepers will Insist up
on having Lion Coffee and no other, no
matter what kind of an argument gro
cers of obstinate principles may ad
vance. Americans want the best, and they
get tho best and purest In Lion Coffee.
Pup Ho Thought Worthless Turned
Out First Class.
I am an unscrupulous dog dealer. I
had for sale a very fine Irish terrier.
His mother cost mo $500 and his sire
cost $750. I thought their get, my
pup, now a year old, worth $200, and
so advertised him.
I was Incensed by an offer of $10
over tho 'phone.
Party never saw the dog, and said
any good ratter would do him (this I
had claimed for mine); he did not
care for pedigree, breeding or cost of
parent dogs.
A bright Idea struck me. I knew a
curloy haired alloy dog I could get
for 25 cents. I told tho fellow I would
accept tho $10 offer. He asked mo to
meet him at depot with tho dog." He
was going homo on a suburban train.
I met him with the curly-haired alloy
dog, on which, by tho way, I had an
option, but at 50 cents, not 25 cents,
as I expected. My customer sneered
when he saw tho dog, but handed mo
a $10 note.
I smiled when I thought of my Joke.
Next week I received a postal card
from my customer that read: "Your
dog is tho best ratter I over saw. Ho
caught forty-two rats tho first two
days. Ho is worth all you advertised
him at, $200. I would not sell him for
$300. Pittsburg Dispatch.

A clergyman who pursues his noble
calling in a country parish In Iowa,
tella of his coffee experience:
"My wife and I used coffee regular
ly for breakfast, frequently for dinner
and occasionally for supper always
tho very best quality packago coffeo
never could find a place on our table.
"In the spring of 189G my wlfo was
taken with violent vomiting which we
had great difficulty in stopping.
"It seemed to come from coffee
drinking but wo could not decide.
"In the following July, however,
sho was attacked a second time by
the vomiting. I was away from home
filling an appointment at the time,
and on my return I found her very
low; she bad literally vomited herself
almost to death, and It took some days
to quiet the trouble and restore her
stomach.
"I had also experienced the same
trouble, but not so violently, and had
relieved it each time, by a resort to
medicine.
"But my wifo's second attack satis
fled mo that the use of coffeo was at
the bottom of our troubles, and so wo
stopped It forthwith and took on
Postum Food Coffeo. Tho old symp
toms of disease disappeared and dur
ing the 9 years that wo havo been
using Postum Instead of coffee we
havo never had a recurrence of tho
vomiting. We never weary of Postum,
to which we know we owe our good
health. This Is a simple statement
of facts," Name given by Postum
Company, Battlo Creek, Mich.
