In this section of I'eniiKj Ivauia there is
a growing belief that for such Kidney
Disease lis Itht uinatimii and Lame
Hack there 1 only one Hiire cure and
that is Dodd's Kidney Pills. This b
llef grow from audi eases as that of
Mrs. M. L. Davison of this place. Sb.
tell the story herself us follsws:
"I have auffend from Rheumatism
for thirty year mid find that Dodd's
Kidney rills have done me more good
than any medicine I have ever taken. 1
vtas also bothered with Lame Hack
and I can ouly sny that my back hasn't
bothered me ainee I took Dodd's liiu
ney Tills."
Considering that Mrs. Davison only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney rills,
the result would he considered wonder
ful If It were not that others lire re
porting similar results daily. Kusi.e
qua Is fast arriving at a v rdiet that
"Dodd's Kidney Tills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism."

IS YOUR CLOCK SET FAST?
IMcuaunt Deception that la Very Com
mon in HoiiHehoWlM.
It is a common thing to find the
clocks in nine out of ten households
either fift"en minutes or half an houl
fast, and should you happen to be in
a hurry or mention the fact that you
have to be going, you are at once reas
sured by the fact that you have no
cause to hurry, as the clock is so mucb
ahead of the time,
lias it ever occurred to you why
clocks are usually put ahead'; Soma
physicians have said It Is due to lazi
ness, for it is such a satisfaction to the
lazy man to find when lie has to gel
up at T In the morning, and strains his
half-closed eyes to look at the clock,
that it is a half hour fast and he has
so much more time to doze, witJj the
result that lie oversleeps himself any
how, and misses his train or boat.
Said a Walnut street watchmaker,,
when asked about the subject: "Yes,
it is a peculiar thing with most people
to put their clocks fast, and, while
there m;.y lie some satisfaction in II
when It comes to dozing a little longer,
there is reaiiy no advantage In it, for
when you wake up, say, at 0 aud
glance at the clock and it registers
0:30, the fact remains that It is a hall
hoi.r f.;:.t. WL!!" t1"" may make you
feel easier, knowing that you stll!
have thirty minutes to doze, I confess
I don't see much advantage in It.
"Why not have the clock right? II
is the same tiling in the end.
"Suppose railroads were to put this
into practice, how many trains do you
think people would miss thereby': This
putting clocks fast is really only a
pleasant form of deception which peo
ple like to practice on themselves, but
it does more harm tban-good." Kan

A anted Her to Confide in Him
"I don't seek your confidence
enough, Matilda," said Mr. Mudley,
who was experiencing one of his pe
riodical spasms of reform, according
to a story in the Philadelphia Bulle
tin. 'Hereafter, I waut you to con
sult me about all your little troubles
and affairs. I w ish to take an inter
est in everything that interests you.
Come to uie with your doubts. Con
fide in me."
"Oh, Henry, how sweet of youi" ex
claimed Mrs. Mudley. "I have al
ways wishi'd that we were nearer to
gether that I could consult you and
lean upon you, as it were."
"Well, liereafter, always come to
me," benignly enjoined Mf. Mudley,
as he opened the evening paper.
A few moments later Mrs. Mudley
ventured, "Henry, dear."
"Yes, my love."
"May I ask your opinion about
something'"
"Why, certainly, my dear," said Mr.
Mudley, sitting up straight and as
suming a judicial cast of countenance.
"What is it, my love?"
"Would you make this waist of
maize peau de cygne, with the bertha
of point d'esprlt, trimmed with ruches
of taffeta, or would you have the yoke
cut gules on the bias, with cuffs of
cream Venetian over white niousse
llne?" "I believe I'd have It the first way,
Matilda," gasped Mr. Mudley, as ha
looked about for his hat "Guess I'll
go down to the club for a while."
