KIDNEY CHILLS AND BACKACHE. L If, when you get wet or take cold, It "settles on the kidneys’’ and there Is a shivery, chilly sensation in the back, it shows kidney weakness which is often the beginning of serious disease. Doan’s Kidney Pills should be used per sistently until the backache and other symptoms disappear. Mrs. D. K. Jeffers Colfax, Wash., says: "For two v^eeks I had to be propped up in bed and I lost 60 pounds in weight. I was in terrible condition, in fact, I came very near dying. As a last resort I began using Doan’s Kid ney Pills. Since then I have gained back my lost weight and feel wonder fully improved.’’ Remember the name—Doan’s. For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. THEN HE WENT. Mr. Bore (looking)—Gracious! It’* nearly ten o’clock. Miss Caustlque (suppressing a yawn)—Are you quite sure it’s not eleven? Next! There were a couple of dandy fish liars in the Colonial lobby. We didn’t Lave time to get their names, ad dresses and photographs, but we lin- ! f gered long enough to hear the conver sation. The poignant part thereof was as ■follows; "How much did your fish weigh?” "I didn’t have no hay scales with me, you mut. But when I pulled him out It lowered the lake four Inches.” "Some fish," commented the other, ■ without the quiver of an eyelash. "Reminds me of some good sport I had duck .hunting last fall. I fired at a flock of ducks and gathered up four quarts of toes.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Keep Clean. Keep your house and your belong lngs clean. Let the blessed sun, the greatest physician In the world, get all through you and all about you. Get your full share of the free air of heaven. “Eat to live and not live to eat,” as a sage philosopher of the long ago tells us. Keep your house clean In which you live and keep the "house” In which your life lives clean, and all will be well. The Ballot Box. The ballot box seems sacred to me, and I never voted without removing my hat. The men in the voting booths are always amused at this attitude, but to me the voting privilege will be always treated with great respect. A man should pray as he votes and vote as he prays.—Rev. R. 8. MacArthur, Baptist, New York city. FOOD IN 8ERMONS Feed the Dominie Right and the 8er> mons Are Brilliant. A conscientious, hard-working and successful clergyman writes: “I am glad to bear testimony to the pleasure and increased measure of efficiency and health that have come to me from adopting Grape-Nuts food as one of my articles of diet. "For several years I was much dis tressed during the early part of each day by indigestion. My breakfast seemed to turn eour and failed to di gest. After dinner the headache and other symptoms following the break fast would wear away, only to return, however, next morning. "Having heard of Grape-Nuts food, I finally concluded to give it a trial. I made my breakfasts of Grape-Nuts with cream, toast and Postum. The re sult was surprising in improved health and total absence of the distress that had, for so long a time, followed the morning meal. “My digestion became once more -V1-' satisfactory, the headaches ceased, and the old feeling of energy returned. Since that time I have always had Grape-Nuts food on my breakfast table. “I was delighted to find also, that whereas before I began to use Grape Nuts food I was quite nervoup and be came easily wearied in the work of preparing sermons and in study, a marked improvement in this respect resulted from the change In my diet. “I am convinced that Grape-Nuts food produced this result and helped me to a sturdy condition of mental ai.d physical strength. "I have known of several persons who were formerly troubled as I was, and who have been helped as I have been, by the use of Grape-Nuts food, on my recommendation.” Name given by Postum Company, Battle Creek, Mich.

WOMEN SEARCHING FOR GOLD ON TIP OF DYING PIRATE Cathedral In Lima Stripped by Robbers Who Are Forced to Bury Loot and Make Escape. San Francisco Cal.—Special: Al lhough numerous tales involving the tearch for hidden treasure on the little island called Cocos, oft the west coast >f Costa Rica, have been related, none s as strange as that told upon the irrival here of the steamship Stanley Dollar from Ancon. Seven men and two women were laken from Ancon aboard the Stanley Dollar and landed upon the treasure Island, which for over half a century las beeh the Mecca for adventurers from all over the world. The party sossess two tons of supplies, boats ind a chart of the treasure. Women Lead the Party. Not only is th^ band of adventurer*! od by the women, but in case the tearch for the reputed 120.000.000 trea-, lure Is successful the entire amount Is lo be used for the benefit of the Lon don poor. Mrs. B. Till, commander In chief, Is the widow of a noted London clergyman, while Miss L. B. Davis, the chief aid of Mrs. Till, Is said to be a literary woman of note. Intensely religious, both women have seen connected with philanthropic work In London for the last decade, ind It Is with the expectation of so ex pending the vast lost wealth of the Peruvians that the expedition was or ranized. The women believe It espe cially appropriate that the treasure ihould be used for religious purposes, for the bulk of It was taken from the Lima cathedral when the Peruvian; capital was threatened by Chileans. For safe keeping all of altar pieces,: consisting of the rails, images, the Ma donna and the 12 apostles, were placed sn board the American ship Mary Deer, rhe figures were all of solid gold and life sized. Besides these were millions tn precious gems. Repentant Pirate Gives Tip. The manner in which the chart came Into the possession of the women Is, itrange. Cared for during his last 111 pess In London by Mrs. Till and Miss' Davis, an aged and dying former pirate Confessed his complicity In the steal-i !ng of the treasure when he and the crew of the Mary Deer mutined, killing the officers of the ship and sailed away from Callao. The mutineers hastened toward the Galapagos Islands, but, be ing intercepted by a man-o’-war, went to Cocos island, where the treasure was hastily cached, and the pirates Balled away. The Mary Deer was Dvertaken by a Peruvian warship, and with the exception of two men all were put to death. One of these was the dying pirate. In proof of the truth of his story, it Is said, the aged man surrendered to his nursefe a portion of one of the Ma donna’s ears, which was found to be made of pure gold^ _ HOBBLE SKIRT UNDER BAN OFJUEEN MARY Women Wearing That Garment Forbidden to Enter Royal Presence. I.ondon—Special: Queen Mary has Itlrred up a hornet’s nest by banishing all tight and hobbled skirts from her august presence. Gentlemen of the rourt in the royal motor called on all amart dressmakers in Hanover square and Bond street and stated to the man-: agers: "We are authorized to inform you that the lord chamberlain commands that no tight skirts shall be worn at court, by order of her gracious ma jesty." The dressmakers were further asked' to convey this intimation to their cus tomers. The word "court" here refers to all functions attended by royalty—, not only the state drawing rooms, where tight skirts make it impossible for the women to courtesy, but also to royal Ascot and afternoon functions where the queen is present. There is great Indignation among the women of the smart set because the queen by this orden implies that society is lacking in modesty an dscretlon, and they declare that this attempt to dictate the fashions by royal decree will make the lord chamberlain skirt cen sor of the coronation season. A Full Stop. From the Washington Star. Robert W. Chambers, the novelist, was talking to a reporter about the artistic temperament. "I have little patience with the artis tic temperament,” Mr. Chambers said. "Its synonym is selfishness. Mrs. Wordsworth was right." Mr. Chambers smiled. "The poet Wordworth,” he resumed “used to compose in bed at night. Nudging his wife in the small hours, he would say: " 'Marla, get up. I’ve thought of a good word.’ "And Mrs. Wordsworth would rise sleepily, light a candle, and write at her husband's dictation for 10 or 16 min 5tes. "A couple of hours later Wordsworth would wake her again. " ‘Get us, Maria, I’ve got a good word,’ he would repeat. "But one night Mrs. Wordsworth put a stop forever to this nocturnal dicta tion. Her husband, awaking her with the usual, ‘Get up—I've thought of a good word,' was startled to hear her reply: “ ‘Oh, get up yourself! I've thought •f a bad word.’ ’” His Wurst. From the Youth’s Companion. The German proprietor of a Brooklyn delicatessen store has got far enough along to pun In English. A writer In the New York Sun reports the fact. Hanging in the window of the little shop is this advertisement: ■‘‘The Best You can do Is buy oui Wurst." Diplomatic. From the Boston Transcript. Young Man—So Miss Ethel Is your old est sister. Who comes after her? Small Brother—Nobodv ain’t come yet; but pa says the first fellow that comes can have her. Headstrong. From the Fllegende Blaetter. Husband—What, ££ for that hat! It Is a sin.

At the afternoon reception you will see each woman try To pre-empt one set position; If you fol low up her eye You will see a mirror near her, and you know the reason why When she puts A little powder On her nosel —New Orleans Times-Democrat, Advent of the Silo in Iowa. A. P. Thayer, In the Marshalltown Times Republican. Even the farmers of Iowa will be surprised at the figures. It comes from a man In the business. Over 5,000 silos have been sold by one firm to the farm ers of Iowa Add to this the number built by the farmers themselves, of all kinds, sizes and cost. The referred to firm ships all ready to put up complete outfits, and so big is the business they . have two large lumber yards, carrying In one of them over 3,000,000 feet of pine lumber. Such lumber Is necessa rily the best quality produced, free from knots and all defects. And here the writer asks that If this meets the eye of the farmer near Potter or Dunbar, on the Milwaukee railroad, the man that built a silo before his neighbors did, the one that has made so many hun dred thousand pounds of butter by feeding ensilage to a small number of cows, please Bend facts and figures to the writer. Big stories are In print concerning the record of an effete east ern cow. The writer thinks this man’s cow’s record will make that eastern cow “look like 30 cents.” Help the un dersigned give a statement of what Marshall county cows have done. Freedoms With Freedom. Benjamin E. Walsh, the socialist,! said of Immigration, In a recent lecture' In Reading; "I would not restrict Immigration. It Is true that some Immigrants, entering for the first time a free country, abuse their freedom. But they soon get over that. "We are all apt to abuse unwonted freedom. I know an Englishman who, on his arrival In New York, demanded a glass of whisky In a palatial bar. "Now In England your whisky Is measured out to you In a small tin measure, but In our bar the English man, to his astonishment had the full bottle set before him. He was given for the first time the freedom of the bottle. "And, though a rich man, he abused that freedom. He took an enormous drink. Then he rose and handed the bartender 16 cents. " ‘Hold on, sir,’ the bartender called! after him. ‘You’ve forgotten your change.’ " ‘I thought the drink was 15 cents,*; aald the Englishman. " ‘Yes, that la so,’ said the bartender,' ■but that is the retail price. There’*! a reduction when you buy wholesale.’”i Queer Brushes and Combe. / From Our Dumb Animals. The cat carries her cloth brush in hei mouth, for with her rough tongue she, cleanses .ler grossy coat as a boy brush-; es off his clotftes. She licks one of her, front paws, and rubs It over her face, and she is ready for her breakfast. Foxes and dogs and wolver do not! use their mouths when they need to< wash and brush, but scratch them-, selves vigorously with their hind paws; and are as fresh as ever. The cow, with her long rough tongue, combs her coat of hair until it is clean and curly. The horse, more than any other animal depends on his owner to, keep his coat In proper condition, but ! often he will roll on the green grass or rub himself down against a tree or fence. Field mice comb their hair with their hind legs, and the fur seal in a elm-, liar manner spends as much time as a woman In making herself look smart. Although the elephant appears to be thick skinned and callous, he takes great care of his skin. He often gives himself a shower bath, by drawing water into his long trunk and blowing it on the different parts of his body. After the bath he sometimes rolls him self in a toilet preparation of dust to keep off the files. The "Bright Boy" of His Claes. From the Philadelphia Times. In one of the West Philadelphia ele mentary schools little Robert Is the “bright boy” of the class, and, of course, the "teacher’s pet.” When the children were being rehearsed In arithmetic the other day the teacher asked Robert what was the half of eight. “Which way, please?” “Why, Robert, what do you mean? The half of eight—by subtraction. I suppose, according to your question.” “Well, It depends on the way. Up and dow'n, It’s three, and straight across It’s nothing.” Giving Himeelf Away. From the London Opinion. "There’s many a true word spoken by accident,” says F. H. Smith, the ar tist. "I dropped In at a picture sale. The auctioneer displayed a daub and said: " ‘Now, ladles and gentlemen, what am I offered for this superb Valasquez, probably the best Valasquez that ever tame from the master's hand?’ "There were no bids whatever, so the tuetioneer took up another picture, i " ‘Very well, ladles and gentlemen.' te went on, ‘I now offer you a Titian by he same artist.’ ” Bread on the Waters. From the St. Joseph Herald. "Just one word of advice, son, be ’ore you go out into the world.” “Yes, dad?” “Always be kind to democrats. They lave their turn once In. a while.” A Strenuous Appeal.

When I was a boy, living in the agu< district of Missouri, my mother com pelled me to take quinine in plum preserves, and I have never had any use for plum preserves since. A little man can hit a big man a mighty hard blow with a revolver. A man loafs around the broad road a great deal, but when It comes to going all the way, and living the rest of his life with the devil, he usual ly balks. No man Is as successful In his flirtations with other women as his wife imagines. A lazy man can never know the Joy of a well earned rest. A man who is nearly 80 years old, Is sick, and he says ho can't Imagine what the- trou ble Is. I can tell him; he was born too long ago. I wish everything was as easy as se curing signatures to a petition. What difference between what you expect and what you actually get. A woman passed a barber shop. No customers being present, the five bar bers were sitting around. “The lazy things,” the woman said. Very few people hide their talent un der a bushel; most of them drag It out. and try to sell it at five times its value. When a man wants to humiliate a boy. he calls him “Bub.” Women call It "figure"; men call It "shape.” , When you speak kindly of anyone, some people believe you have been bribed. Probably there never was a man who could not be successfully sued for breach of promise, A man who says “we” occasionally 13 generally admired. Three years is the age at which a man’s children usually begin to make him pay damages. I never knew a man who could chew tobacco decently. Everybody is more or less two-faced. When a man Is really in love, he doesn't care who knows it. Anybody who will speculate in mines will play poker. Your friends are probably al! right, but haven’t you some pretty tough ac quaintances? Nearly every wife says to her hus band: ‘T’ve taken a good deal from you, and I suppose I’ll take a good deal mors, but there’s one thing I won't stand, and you might as well know it.” And every man knows what that one thing is. After a girl passes 30 she is old enough to- marry a widower. Nearly everyone thinks, “Everybody knows me," and is mistaken. In a town of less than 20.000 people It la hard to make use of the third story of a building. Worshipers of a man or theory are always willing to Invent facts. There is always a controversy going on as to the worst man in town; but nobody seems to pay much attention to the best man in town. The trouble with encouraging abuse of prominent men Is it Is training the people to abuse each other. Now that we all favor reform, will we get It? Young people wonder how old folks can get up as early in the morning aa they do. The explanation is simple; they go to bed early. When a nice woman starts to be shiftless this is the first sign of it: she begins using baker's bread. When a woman Jumps a man, and finds it isn’t dangerous, she never lets up. We wish we were a woman. A wo man can improve her looks so much. It Is not only a fine thing to refrain from kicking a man who Is down; you should Hot kick a man who Is up, either. A man must be mighty crooked these days to get Into the penitentiary. * You may talk about genius until you are black In the face, but the fact re mains that nothing Is admired as much as Industry. Did you ever notice that the mean men who make up your enemies have about as many friends as you have? When a man looks glum and cross, usually It Isn’t because his pastor Is a disappointment. Ever notice, when a man is hurt who carries an accident policy, how long he Is hurt. The world Is full of men who want better Jobs, who are not willing to do better work. No good-looking man likes to work. Witnesses usually refer to it as “that fool lawsuit." In seven cases out of ten, when a women goes into a dry goods store, sho does not want to buy; she goes In to look around. In looking back over his past every man must admit that the sun was often bright when he made no hay. I have remarked that a good many people get long pretty well without iny approval. There are people In the world wh® never work, and who Just sort of ab sorb a living. Breaking a Hobo’a Heart Manager Gus Hartz was standing near tbe opera house box office when one of two panhandlers who had en tered the lobby approached him, and, holding out an addressed and sealed envelope, begged for the price of a postage stamp. "It’s for me mudder, boss,” he sniv eled. "You’se wouldn’t turn down er guy fer de price er de stamp, would youse?” “Never,” said the manager, deftly grasping the envelope and throwing it through the box office window. “Here, Fred,” adressing himself to Treas urer Fred Coan, "stamp this and have it mailed.” The velocity of the proceeding fair ly took the panhandler's breath away.
