An epidemic of sickness follows. It is the

The undigested food backs into the system
and there it rots and decays. From this

i them to every tissue,just as the water works

like this is to cure the constipation. Fills

“iS^’^Jthompson's tyo Wafer
Hot Stuff for the French.
A member of the staff of Figaro, a
spraightly Paris newspaper, was sent
to the United States to make “psycho
logical and analytical" studies of
America and Americans. Tne Gallic
journalist has published his observa
tions on our economic, social and po
litical institutions. A day or two ago
he gave the readers of Figaro hi3 views
about our great national sport, “Le
foot ball.” He saw the game between
Harvard and Yale and describes it
with a realism and a minuteness of
detail which are said to be very im
pressive. The Gallic observer appears
to have been startled by the ferocious
cries of “Kill him! Kill him!” from
excited partisans of the rival teams.
He explains that those who incite to
murder are not really assassins at
heart. “It may well be asked,” he adds,
“whether a pastime which elicits such
brutal frenzy can be good for civiliza
tion.”
It would be Interesting to have a
record of the Figar man’s impressions
of what in sporting parlance is de
scribed as a “hot base ball game.” “Le
foot ball,” it is conceded, is not child's
play. But if the Paris journalist were
to hear some of the blood-curdling de
mands for vengeance upon the umpire
of a base ball contest, if he were to
see that unfortunate person attacked
by a mob of bloodthirsty “rooters,” he
would possible conclude that “Le foot
ball” is not such a savage pastime
after all.—Baltimore Sun.

Broadland, So. Dak., Feb. 23d.—Bea
dle county has never been so worked
up as during the last few weeks.
Every one is talking of the wonderful
case of G. W. Gray of Broadland, the
particulars of which are best told In
the following statement which Mr.
Gray has Just published:
“I was dying. I had given up all
hope. I was prostrate and as helpless
as a little babe. I had been ailing
with Kidney Trouble for many years,
and it finally turned to Bright’s Dis
ease. All medicine had failed and I
was In despair.
“I ordered one box of Dodd’s Kidney
Pills and this first box helped me out
of bed. I continued the treatment till
now I am a strong, well man. I praise
God for the day when I decided to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Everybody expected that Mr. Gray
would die and his remarkable recovery
is regarded as little short of a miracle
by all who know how very low he was.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly a
wonderful remedy.

FEARFULLY DESTRUCTIVE
WEAPONS OF WARFARE
_
New Type Recently Supplied to Ships
of the British Navy—United States
Has the Largest and Heaviest Yet
Constructed.
During the last two years the Brit
ish navy has been strengthened by
the addition of a new type of gun
which will undoubtedly go a long way
toward Insuring the supremacy of
Great Britain over the seas for many
years to come, says the London Tit
bits. This gun is known as tho
twelve-inch steel and wire gun and is
not only the beat weapon which the
royal navy has ever had, but is far
superior to any gun possessed by any
foreign power.
Although it weighs only fifty tons,
the new gun will be the heaviest in
the service, seeing that it is taking the
place of the 110, 100 and eighty-ton
guns, of which no more are to be
made. What the new weapon lacks
in weight, however, it makes up In
power, being capable of throwing
shells a distance of no less than
twenty miles. No accuracy of aim
could, of course, be obtained or main
tained at this long distance, the effect
ive range being 16,000 yards, or be
tween nine and ten miles.
Altogether the gun is forty-one foot
in length and has the amazing muzzle
velocity of 2,367 feet per second, th*
projectile weighing 860 pounds. Each
man of-war will carry four of these
formidable weapons and when the
navy is supplied they will be issued to
the forts on the sea fronts. A remark
aide feature regarding this gun is that
the breech mechanism is of a very
simple design, easily taken to pieces
and put together again and can be
worked by one man.
What is undoubtedly the biggest
and heaviest gun in the world has
lately been built by Uncle Sam at the
United States arsenal, Watervliet,
N. Y. Its range is claimed to he one
mile more than the twelve-inch steel
and wire gun with which tho British
navy is being supplied, but it is nearly
three times the weight. Altogether
the new American gun weights 134
tons. Is nearly fifty icet long and fires
a projectile weighing no less than
2,370 pounds.
Machinery to the value of $600,000
had to be specially built in order to
make this gigantic weapon, the actual
making of which has taken about four
years. In spite of its enormous bulk
and weight, however, the gun is as
easily handled as the lightest field
piece. The breech lock weighs one
ton, but it is so contrived that a child
could operate the machinery which
opens it and swings it clear. In fact,
every part of the gun is built as ac
curately as the works of a watch.
In addition to the fact that this gun
is said to possess the longest range of
any weapon in the world it is claimed
that a shot fired from it into the air
would reach an elevation of nearly
six miles. The greatest height reach
ed by a Krupp shell in its flight was a
little over four miles. The muzzle
velocity of the American gun is 2,300
feet per second and the projectile,
backed by 676 pounds ot smokeless
powder, will penetrate nearly forty
three inches of steel at the muzzle.
As a matter of fact, nothing in the
line of defensive armor has yet been
invented that would stop one of the
gun's projectiles at a distance of five
miles.
Knitting Cure for Tired Nerves.
“My prescription, madam, is that
you knit two hours daily,” said tho
physician.
“Knit!” exclaimed the nervous pa
tient; “why on earth, doctor, should I
knit?”
The medical man replied: “Because
nothing is more soothing to the
nerves; because nothing conduces to
such a calm and cheerful frame of
mind. I could prescribe valerian for
you, but knitting will be better. It
will do you much more good. 1 be
lieve that a month of it will cure
you.”
He went on to explain that his at
tention had been called to an article
in a medical journal on the beneficial
efTects of knitting, and he had pre
scribed the treatment, with excellent
success, to a dozen women.
“The shining needles,” he said,
“playing swiftly among soft colpred
silks or wools, engage the eyes pleas
antly and fill the mind with cheery
and sane thoughts. At the same time
they may produce admirable things—
golf waistcoats, golf stockings of wool,
delicate evening stockings of silk,
shawls, a hundred articles.”
The woman, smiling, said she did
not know how to knit, but would be
gin to learn at once.—Detroit Journal.
Faith in One’s Self.
When the artist slt3 down before a
new, clean sheet of drawing paper and
takes up his charcoal, he believes In
the brain or soul picture which he is
going to try to draw there. He does
not sit down and say to himself: "Oh,
pshaw! What is the use? I can nev
er make anything out of it. There
is no use in trying!” On the contrary,
he has faith in his subject, faith in
his dream, and he means to produce
the very best that he can. something
which shall surpass all that has gone
before in his work. That is the main
point, either in art or in real life—to
have faith in one's dream and belief
in one’s self—to work earnestly, be
lieving that with patient enough effort
the work will be good and the toil
and struggle worth while.—Ledger

RELIGIOUS WEEKLY
Sends the Following Grand Testimonial to
the Merits of Cuticura Remedies in the
Treatment of Humours of the
Blood, Skin and Scalp.
“I wish to give my testimony to
the efficiency of the Cuticura Heme
dice in what seems to me two some
what remarkable cases. I had a
number of skin tumours — small
ones—on my arms which had never
given me serious trouble ; but about
two years ago one came on my
throat. At first it was only about as
large as a pinhead, but, r.s it was in
a position where my collar, if not
just right, would irritate it, it soon
became very sensitive and began to
grow rapidly. Last spring it was
as large, if not larger, than a beau.
A little unusual irritation of my
collar started it to swelling, and in
a day or two it was as large ns
half an orange. I was very much
alarmed, and was at a loss to de
termine whether it was a carbuncle
or a malignant tumor.
tended down into my cfte3t was all
gone, and tny neck now seems to bo
perfectly well.
“ About five or Rix years ago my
sister had a similar experience. Sha
had two large lumps come under
her right arm, the result of a sprain.
They grew rapidly, and our physi
cian wanted to cut them out. I
would not listen to it, and the tried
the Cuticura Remedies (as I did a
few months ago) with magical effect.
In six weeks’ time the lumps had
entirely disappeared,and have never
returned.
“ 1 have great faith in the Cuticura
Remedies, aud I believe they might
be as efficacious in similar cubes
with other people, and thus save
much suffering, and perhaps life I
have derived so much benefit from
the use cf them myself that I am
constantly a u v 1 s 1 n g
others to ur.e them. Re
cently I recommended
them to an ofiice boy for
his father, who was dis
abled with salt rheum.
The man's feet were
swollen to an enormous
size, and he had not
worked for six weeks
Two bottles of Cuticura
Resolvent and t wo bores
of Cuticura Ointment
worked a perfect cure.
You never saw a more
grateful man inyourlifc,
“ I am very much in
terested in another case
where I have recom
mended Cuticura just
now. My housemaid*
mother has a goitre
which had reached a
very dangerous point.
The doctors told her
that nothing could be
done ; that she could live
only two or three weeks,
and that she would die
of strangulation. She
was confined to her bed,
“ My friends tried to persuade me
to consult my physician ; but dread
ing that he would insist on using
the knife, I would not consent to
go. Instead I got a small bottle of
Cuticura Resolvent and a bo* of Cu
ticura Ointment. I took the former
according to directions, and spread
a thick layer of the Ointment on a
linen cloth and placed it on the
I swelling. On renewing it I would
bathe my neck in very warm water
and Cuticura Soap. In a few days
the Cuticura Ointment had drawn
the swelling to a head, when it
broke. Every morning it was opened
with a large sterilized needle,
squeezed and bathed, and fresh
Ointment put on. I’us and blood,
and a yellow, cheesy, tumorous
matter catne out. In about three or
four weeks’ time this treatment
completely eliminated boil and
tumor. The soreness that had ex
and was unable to speak, when her
daughter, nt my suggestion, tried
the effect of the Cutieura Ointment
and Cutieura Resolvent. Strange to
6ay, she was very shortly relieved of
the most distressing symptoms. The
swelling seemed to be exteriorized,
and she is now able to be around
her house, and can talk as well as
ever.
“ It seems to me that I have pretty
good grounds for believing that
Cutieura Remedies will prove suc
cessful in the most distressing forms
of blood and bkin humours, and if
you wish to use my testimonial as
herein indicated, I am willing that
you should do so, with the further
privilege of revealing my name and
address to such persons as may wish
to substantiate the above state
ments by personal letter to me. ’
