ITS HARD TO WORK I
It’s torture to work with a lame, aching
back. Get rid of it. Attack the cause.
Probably it’s weak kidneys.
Heavy or confining work is hard on
the kidneys, anyway, and once the kid
neys become inflamed and congested,
the trouble keeps getting worse.
The danger of running into gravel,
dropsy or Bright's disease is serious.
Use Doan’s Kidney Pills, a fine remedy
for backache or bad kidneys.

MOTTO FOR CHRISTIAN HOME
ideals, Which Consistently Lived Up
to, Cannot Fall to Make for Hap
piness In Life.
This home is dedicated to good will.
It grew out of love. The two heads
of the household were called together
by a power higher than they. To its
decree they are obedient. Every tone
of the voice, every thought of their
being. Is subdued to that service. They
desire to be worthy of their high call
ing as ministers of that grace. They
know their peace-will go unbroken
only for a little time. And often they
suspect that the time will be more
short even than their anxious hope.
They cannot permit so much as one
hour of that brief unity to be touched
by scorn or malice. The world’s judg
ments have lost their sting Inside
this door. Those who cofne seeking
to continue the harmony which these
two have won are ever welcome. The
rich are welcome, so they come sim
ply. The poor are welcome, for they
have already learned friendliness
through buffeting. Youth is welcome,
for it brings the joy which these two
would learn. Age is welcome, for it
•will teach them tenderness.—Collier’s
Weekly.
AS TO FLAVOUR.
Found Her Favorite Again.
A bright young lady, tells how si*,
came to be acutely sensitive as to the
taste of coffee:
“My health had been very poor for
several years,” she says. “I loved
coffee and drank it for breakfast, but
only learned by accident, as it were,
that it was the cause of the constant,
dreadful headaches from which I suf
fered every day, and of the nervous
ness that drove sleep from my pillow
and so deranged my stomach that
everything I ate gave me acute pain.
(Tea is just as injurious, because it
contains caffeine, the same drug found
in cofTee.)
“My condition finally got so serious
that I was advised by my doctor to go
to a hospital. There they gave me
what I supposed was coffee, and I
thought it was the best I ever drank,
but I have since learned it was
Postum. I gained rapidly and came
home in four weeks.
“Somehow the coffee we used at
home didn't taste right when I got
back. I tried various kinds, but none
tasted as good as that I drank in the
hospital, and all brought back the
dreadful headaches and the ‘sick-all
over’ feeling.
“One day I got a package of Postum,
and the first taste of it I took, I
said ‘that’s the good coffee we had in
the hospital.’ I have drank it ever
since, and eat Grape-Nuts for my
breakfast. I have no more headaches,
and feel better than I have for years.”
Name given upon request. Read the
famous little book, “The Road to Well
vllle,” in pkgs. "There’s a reason.”
Postum now comes in concentrated,
powder form, called Instant Postum.
It is prepared by stirring a level tea
spoonful in a cup of hot water, adding
sugar to taste, and enough cream to
bring the color to golden brown.
Instant Postum is convenient;
there’s no waste; and the flavour is al
ways uniform. Sold by grocers—46

Austrian Red Cross Surgeon
Tells of Awful Carnage At
Chatalja.
Vienna. Special: The first real In*
sight Into the awful losses sustained
by the Bulgarians, the conditions un
der which the wounded were cared for
and the present state of the cholera
epidemic is given by the Austrian Red
Cross surgeons who have just returned
from the battle fields and Constanti
nople.
Professor Clairmont, who accompa
nied the unit sent to Bulgaria, declares
that the Bulgarian losses before the
Chatalja lines were very great, no less
than 20,000 falling In one day. Ac
cording to some of the other doctors,
the transport arrangements for the
wounded were appallingly inadequate.
The Austrian unit stationed near
Kirk Killsse, where the most severe
cases were treated, had on some days
more than 100 operations, averaging a
half hour each. The work was car
ried on under great difficulties, often
with insufficient food.
The surgeons and nursing sisters un
derwent great hardships on the jour
ney to Kirk Kllisse, and on arriving
there spent the first five nights in
the open air and with only tea and
bread on which to subsist.
Speaking of the cholera outbreak, the
Austrian Red Cross surgeon, Dr. Wim
mer, who has Just returned from Con
stantinople, declares that the disease
is still rampant there and that the Im
pression prevailing In Europe that It
is all over, Is entirely erroneous.
When he left Constantinople four
days before, BO to 100 deaths were re
ported daily. Hundreds died without
receiving the slightest care or med
ical attention.
QUIET, INTIMATE WINTER
IS BEING LOST TO US
From Scribner’s.
“In their season." That, to my mind,
means strawberries in June and blueber
ries in July and huckleberries In August.
And when I encounter strawberries In
January, blueberries In March, and rasp
berries in December I feel deeply Irritated.
It Is not only fruits and vegetables that
are getting mixed up. The seasons In peo
ple’s lives seem to be losing some of their
Individual character, §o that we never
know just what we are going to get. In
some ways this is a gain. For example,
the definite putting away of childish
things was not an unalloyed good. The
complete shutting of the chilfl from the
confidence of the adult, the complete alien
ation of the adult from the Interests of
the youth, these are not habits to cling to.
And yet It is a fact that life ought to
bring us Its various experiences with a
certain regard to their seasonableness, and
when we see little children going to “prob
lem plays," and grown-ups spending their
mornings over cards and their evenings
over picture puzzles, one Is tempted to
think that something Is wrong. Jaques
would have to revise his summary of the
seven ages of man, and still more of wom
an, rather thoroughly to make It pass
muster now. There seems to be very little
springtime In the lives of today; it Is most
ly summer and Indian summer, while
winter—quiet, hospitable, intimate, stay
at-home winter—Is getting left out en
tirely.
If we don’t look out, we shall Infect na
ture. She Is a sensitive creature, highly
"suggestible,” as the psychologists put It.
Some one has maintained that it was
purely at the suggestion of the pression
lsts that she perpetrated London fogs and
purple cabbages. She may do other
things. There is no telling what she may
not do. In Imagination I look out upon a
world where babes In tailor-made suits
play bridge through snow-bound July eve
nings, where old ladles ^n pinafores skip
about picking daisies In December; but
let us not too wildly anticipate. Let us
bring ourselves up sharply before It Is too
late. Let us consider whether we do not,
after all, get the most out of things,
whether they be grapes or kites or snow
storms or enthusiasm, by taking them In
their season.
8ixty-Threo Dogs In the Baggage.
From the New York Times.
When Mrs. N. Bramber, a widow of
wealth, arrived in the station from At
lantic City, the baggage carried in her
name consisted of:
Sixty-three barking dogs, 16 trunks, five
bundles of golf sticks, a fullgrown horse,
photographic and tennis equipments, and
five boxes of dog rations.
It was explained after the head of the
baggage crew asked feebly. "Is this all?"
that automobiles and other luxurious
equipment were coming by freight. The
baggage force also learned that the horse
was the property of Mr. and Mrs. C.
Klotz, who had been in charge of Mrs.
Bramber’s kennels for years. Outside of
that, however, the first lineup was cor
rect.
Mrs. Bramber traveled incognito. Mrs.
Klotz met all the emergencies at the
transfer points, where there were lively
times with the 63 dogs, 16 trunks, five
bundles of golf sticks, and other contribu
tions to the baggage car Jam.
"We are glad to have that nightmare
of a trip over,” said Mrs. Klotz, as she
superintended the loading of the dogs and
puppies. Calculative express employes
figured that it cost Mrs. Bramber $1,000 to
move her kennel and other baggage, while
Klotz paid $470 to bring along his prize
trotter.

Horseshoe His Hoodoo.
From the New York Herald.
John Osborne, years ago said to here
been one of the best known horsemen in
the country, today walked into the police
station at Eleventh and Winter streets
gnd tossed across the desk to Sergeant
Taggart a horseshoe.
"That’s my hoodoo, Sergeant," said Os
borne; "I’m going to leave it with you.”
According to Osborne, the horseshoe
was worn by the old racehorse Cricket.
Borne years ago Cricket was entered in
a race at Sheepshead. He was an odds
on favorite and Osborne had wagered his
bankroll on him. Cricket was romping
home by a comfortable margin when he
threw the shoe. He lost the race. Os
borne went out on the track and got the
shoe and has carried it until today, but
never had a bit of luck.
Don’t Be Like That.

NEW RULERS CHOSEN
BY SMALLEST STATE
San Marino, Wee Independent
Sovereignty Hasn’t Room to
Fire Cannon.
Paris. Special: San Marino, the
smallest Independent state in Europe—
the confines of the country are so re
stricted that the army has never fired
Its one piece of artillery for the reason
that the projectile would invade foreign
soil—has Just elected its rulers for the
next constitutional period. The elec
tion took place at about the same time
that France elected M. Poincare to suc»
ceed M. Fallieres to the presidency of
France, but it was attended with no
excitement, no campaigning and prac
tically no uncertainty, and San Marino
will now continue with its new regents
for a space of six months, when the
next election takes place.
The grand council of San Marino,
composed of 60 members, elect the two
rulers who preside over the destinies
of the state under the title of captains
regent. The regents are chosen by the
council without their having even to go
through the formality of announcing
their candidature.
San Marino has existed as a sover
eign Independent state since the first
dawn of modern history. Its army will
never trouble the peace of Europe, con
sisting ns it does of a dozen carabinlers
and a few customs house examiners.
The state, which lies between two prov
inces of Italy, has a population of about
10,000 people and an area of 38 square
miles. The cannon which Is never fired
for fear of International complications,
rests in peace in the court yard of the
government house.
M. Poincare, the president-elect of
France, will depart from the customary
seclusion of French presidents and ac
cept freely such private Invitations as
he may desire.
The etiquette has been that thp
president confine his social life to a
small circle of intimate personal friends
and to vast official entertainments giv
en by himself and paid for out of the
$125,000 allowed for that purpose by
the government. M. Poincare sees no
reason, he says, to live the secluded life
of a monarch or to deprive himself of
Instructive and pleasant social inter
course with his fellow men, and he will
do neither.
Accepting the definition that seasick
ness is due to a vascular vaso-motor
spasm and anemia of the nervous sys
tem, a Dr. Burwlnkel has tried the use
of nitro glycerin as a specific against
the illness.

to ft number of people suffering from
seasickness a tablespoonful of a solu

The unpleasant symptoms vanished
rapidly and completely. It must be
admitted, however, that the beneficial
effects did not last for very long, and
It became necessary to take several
doses during the day.
There has Just died in Switzerland
the engineer whose duty It had been
to drive the special imperial train that
carried Emperor Nicholas on his
Journeyings in Russia. He was pos
sessed of a considerable fortune, a re
sult of the largess of his master.
Although a Swiss, Dominique Hot
had been In the service of the Russian
railways for 40 years. During the last
15 of them he had driven the emperor's
private trains from Moscow to Odessa
and to other places in Russia. Hof,
who retired a few months ago, would
never say more of his experiences than
hint at singular dangers he had risked,
and the Immense bribes that he had
refused from revolutionists and from
members of the secret police In their
desire to test his uprightness.
High Salaries In Business.
From the Philadelphia Times.
High salaries are not Infallible tests of
fitness, but In the business world most of
them approximate that description closely.
In a day of great accomplishments In
making money, the men who possess the
power to pile dollar upon dollar for the
profit of their associates naturally share
liberally In the largess that Is to such a
marked extent the product of their own
efforts.
It Is probably true that "pull” Is less In
fluential In such things nowadays than
ever before. Shrewd directors and watch
ful stockholders are not disposed to heap
rewards upon a man because of family In
fluence, personal ties or prestige not
gained by participation In the business In
hand. And If they take money which
might go Into their own pockets In In
creased dividends and place it to the sal
ary account of one of their executive of
ficers, they usually, though not always, of
course, have a pretty strong belief that
It will come back to them with a large
Increase.
Philadelphia, like other cities In which
great enterprises develop, has Its share of
high-salaried men. And It has, too, Its
share of those whose part In the accre
tion of wealth Is less—In some cases, far
less—than It would be If Justice were done.
The fight against this form of wrong In
the business world and all other forms
will keep up until the end of time, and
It ought to keep up. With a growth of
prosperity and material resources In
America that Is unexampled In the his
tory of the world, the crying need Is to
distribute the benefits more widely among
those who deserve them.
But, while the struggle goes on, let no
one be discouraged. What man has done,
man may do. Once upon a time nobody
doubted that "America spells oppor
tunity," but there are many who will In
sist that it Is less true now than ever be
fore. Yet, If the signs of the times mean
anything, they mean that greater oppor
tunities will soon be at hand. The rain
bow Is in the political and Industrial skies.
The man who is sick at heart today from
failure to realize his just ambitions may
be singing the song of victory tomorrow.
Solution of An Old Puzzle,
From the Boston Globe.
Question: How much may a wife pay
for a hat?
Answer, As much as she can afford to
pay out of the allowance her husband
gives her for dressing and adornment. Not
a cent more. And she may not have the
bill sent to her husbcttd either.
At least that Is the solution of the hat
question given by Mr. Justice Lynn, of
the New York municipal court, who from
the bench moralizes thus on love, the home
and the hat: "Love should rule the home.
Its kindly effects will adorn the house
hold better than any hat . . . The bare
head of the peasant girl ofttlmes wins
more than the bird of paradise feathers on
a hat."
And speaking of paradise reminds the
judge that “Ever since Adam and Eve left
the Garden of Eden the world has never
settled the true status” of man and wife,
although Moses and the Medes and Per
sians tried to regulate It. But the Judge
sees hope In woman suffrage: "Perhaps,
now that the impediments of the law are
to be removed and women are to have an
equal part In making government, the
solution will come.”
Meanwhile married folks will have to
get along on what the diplomatists call a
"modus Vivendt," and although generally
a man Is responsible for the debts his wife
contracts, she ought not to Involve him in
financial difficulties by her extravagance.
In the words of Mr. Justice Wauhope
Lynn, "Love should rule the home.”
FAIRY PALACE8.
Do you know what fairy palaces you
may build of beautiful thoughts, proof
against all adversity? Bright fancies,
satisfied memories, noble histories,
faithful sayings, treasure houses of
precious and restful thoughts, which
care cannot disturb nor pain make
gloomy; houses built without hands ror
our souls to live In.—John Ruakln.
TRUCK GARDENING
AND POULTRY RAISING
THESE, AS WELL AS OTHER
MIXED FARMING BRANCHE8,
PAY IN WESTERN CANADA.
Truck gardening and poultry grow
ing are two branches of agriculture
in which the farmers near the main
lines of the three transcontinental
lines traversing Western Canada are
much concerned. The abundance of
sunshine during the long days from
May to September, and adequate mois
ture in the spring and early summer
permit of a wide variety of crops. The
soil is rich and warm and is easily
worked. Close attention to cultiva
tion has resulted in record yields of
all sorts of vegetable and small fruits
which bring good prices in the cities
and at the numerous railway construc
tion camps.
Mr. Harris Oium, an Alberta farmer,
came from South Dakota eleven years
ago and homesteaded the first 160
acres in his township in 1902, which
was divided between grain and pas
ture. He earned sufficient money to
buy a quarter section of railway land
at $11 an acre. The half section netted
proportionate profits and he gradually
Increased his holdings to 1,920 acres,
which was devoted to mixed farming
last year. He values his land at $60
an acre.
Mr. Oium markets from 100 to 125
hogs and a similar number of beef
cattle each year. He has 200 hogs,
mostly pure bred Poland China, 25
head draft horses and 35 head of pure
bred Hereford cattle. By feeding bar
ley to hogs he estimates that the grain
nets him 80 cents a bushel, as com
pared with 40 cents, the average mar
ket price when delivered to the ware
house. His average crop of barley is
40 bushels to the acre, while oats av
erage 80 bushels.

ment Agent, full particulars as to best

Julius Caesar.
The almost unanimous verdict of
ancient and modern times is to the ef
fect that Julius Caesar was what
Shakespeare calls him: "The fore
most man of all this world.” Never
before or since has any one exhibit
ed In so high a degree all the qual
ities of a born ruler of men. And
never had any man a grander role to
play. To preside over the most Im
portant crisis in the history of the
most important branch of the human
race was a task that none by the
greatest of men could successfully
perform. Caesar swept one obstacle
after another aside, and stood at last
where he meant to stand.
Willie Discovered a New Game.
They had lived In a flat all of Wil
lie’s Short life, so that the little boy’s
knowledge of fauna and flora was
limited to canary birds and flower
boxes; and when they went to board
in the suburb where there was a large
yard, Willie very enthusiastically start
ed in pursuit of a chicken, armed with
a stick and other missiles.
When the hostess protested to his
mother, she turned from the window
and said, indulgently:
"You’ll have to forgive dear Willie
—he doesn't know that’s a chicken.
Some people seem to lie unneces
sarily in order to keep In practice.
What They Trueted.
Having ascertained his weight on
the railway station weighing machine
the man said to the porter:
"Isn’t It a lack of business foresight
to put one of those machines that dis
tributes prizes to persons who guess
their own weight correctly, bang up
against other scales that they could
get weighed on before hand, and thuB
guess on a sure thing? You must
have great faith in human nature,
you?"
"Oh, no, sir,” said the porter, "but
we have in the machine.”
