FROM MI8ERY TO HEALTH. A Society Leader and Club Woman of Kansas City Writes to Thank Doan’s Kidney Pill* for a Quick Cure. Miss Nellie Darts, of 1216 Michigan Ave., Kansas City, Mo., society leader and club wo-.an, writes: “I can not say too much in praise of Doan’s Kidney Pills, for they ef , fected a complete ■ cure in a very 'short time when 1 was suffering from kidney troubles brought on by a -x cold. I had severe pains in the back .A and sick headaches, and felt miserable M all over. A few boxes of Doan's Kid ney Pills made we a well woman, [without an ache or pain, and I feel compelled to recommend this reliable remedy.” (Signed) NELLIE DAVIS.

Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but* because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in %-pound pack ages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chem icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large let ters and figures "16 ozs.” Demand Defiance and save much time and mo^ey and the annoyance of the iron nicking.

Alpena, Mich., Sept. 5 (Special).— Seventy-five years of age but hale and hearty is Mr. Jerome K. Four nier of this place, and to those who ask the secret of his splendid health he gives the good advice “Use Dodd’s Kidney Pills.” When asked for his reason for s« strongly recommending the Great American Kidney Remedy, Mr. Four« nier related the following experience: “I recommend Dodd’s Kidney Pills because they cured me of Dia betes. I suffered with my kidneys for a. long time and suffered terribly from those Urinary Troubles that are so general among aged people. “Then I started to use Dodd’s Kid ney Pills and eight boxes of them cured my kidneys, regulated my wa ter and made me feel like a hearty young man.” Dodd's Kidney Piils make the old feel young because they make sound kidneys. Sound kidneys mean health and health is the other name for youth. Making It Emphatic. Concerning a certain archdeacon in Ine English church a tale of modesty is told. He forbade one of his friends to call him “doctor,” saying, “If you call me doctor I will do the same for you.” “Oh, but you can’t,” replied the other. “I am not a doctor.” “You soon will be,” was the answer. “I’ll ! be- if I am,” came the retort.

I JAPAN’S EMPEROR. Whenever a crime of unusual turpi tude is committed, and particularly whenever a number of such forbid ding events occur in quick succession, we hear much about the “epidemic of i crime,” accompanied by lugubrious ! comment to the effect that wickedness i is increasing, that it is outrunning ! the growth of population, that the j country is rapidly degenerating. It : has become the settled conviction of minds chronically indisposed to look upon the sunny side of things that the criminal population is increasing at , a more alarming rate than at any j time in the country's history, yet no , prof is at hand to support this pessi mistic view. Penologists are awaiting trust- : worthy and sufficiently comprehensive ! statistics on this interesting subject. : Samuel J. Barrows, Commissioner for j the United States on the Interna- ’ tional Prison Commission, declared in i a paper published in 1903 that for want of any comparative statistics in the United States it is extremely dif ficult to say whether criminals are in creasing with reference to the popu lation, inasmuch as so much depends upon the activity of the police. Mr. Barrows observes that as social rela tions multiply the standard of pro priety and good conduct and of social protection is constantly raised, and when new laws are rigidly enforced “we may expect an increase for the time being in the number of offenders until society has adjusted itself to the new requirements.” It may be noted that the system of news gathering has been brought to a high pitch of efficiency in our day. Every crime of importance occurring almost anywhere in the country is im mediately reported. We hear very much more about crime than our for bears did. The diligence of the re porters and the news agencies creates the impression that the world is growing worse. The law-abiding millions attract little attention.— Philadelphia Ledger. " A CHANCE FOR PUBLICITY. ff it were possible to compel the i national committees to keep an accur ate record of and publish a true ac count of their expenditures for cam paign purposes a work of the utmost importance would be accomplished. England has virtually eliminated the bribery of voters in her parliament- i ary elections by requiring that each | candidate's campaign expenses shall ■ be recorded and made public. If the campaign fund accounts were made public, instead of being kept secret, there would be no need to “fry the fat” from corporations or men. AH the money actually neces sary for an honestly conducted cam paign would be willingly contributed by public spirited citizens of either party. Only through publicity, full and complete, will campaign funds j cease to be corruption funds.—Phila delphia Ledger. FARMERS EAST AND WEST. | An Iowa farmer who was bred in New England, after making a visit to the old farm, remarks that he ob serves an absence of the old-time thrift and application that once exist ed among the farmers of New Eng land. He says they work 300 days a vear in Iowa and that the New Eng land farmer would have more “cash money” if he would labor on his farm at least one-third of each twenty-four hours for at least nine months in the months attend to the work of turning year, and during the other three the forests into fields. He admits that the New England farmer can make more dollars from an acre of corn than they can in the west, but that the western farmer makes it up by having more acres under cultivation. —Boston Globe. CULTIVATE A HOBBY. “Since the home woman is the in dispensable woman, it is a pity she so often allows herself to fail in her full development and reward,” says an ed itorial in Harper's Bazar. “She is apt to be so unselfish and so conscientious that she lets the four walls of home narrow about her, and the simplest remedy is to have at least one out ride interest. The woman who takes up one hobby, one charity, one line of .work beyond her household cares, and follows it steadily, will find that !t brings freshness and power with it. (t becomes both outlook and inflow to her. And the woman with a hobby grows old so slowly that she often never grows old at all, but keeps to the last that freshness of interest which is the mark of youth.” HUMANE EDUCATION. ^ The world is only half civilized, while the majority of people look with indifference on the overworked and overladen horses. The horse whose footsteps are beginning to totter with age, yet still dragging heavy burdens; the horse whose hopeless eyes and prominent bones tell that he is al ways hungry; the cat crying for food »n the home where there is plenty, and turned off with a few miserable scraps that only acute hunger could force any animal to eat; the starved, deserted cat; the kitten dropped in the streets; the faithful dog deprived of liberty and miserably cared for; the butterfly struggling with the cruel pin that fastens it to the wall; the half-crushed toad by the wayside; the bird lamenting for his stolen nest; the dead bird murdered for sake of weak and vain women—all these sad sights may be seen every day. The law does not reach them, for it is only cases of extreme cruelty that can be punished, and who can begin to estimate' the immense amount of suf fering that constantly goes unpun ished?—Our Four-footed Friends. Very few people have ever known the emperor of Japan closely. He must be undergoing something of an evolution, for theoretically he is de signed us a national figurehead rather than as a natural ruler. The present crisis must have brought him out as never before. The English sometimes date their pedigrees back to the conqueror with a certain pride. But Mutsuhito-tenwo, emperor of Japan, is the present rep resentative of the oldest royal dynas ty extant. He is the 121st emperor of his dynasty, which dates back in an unbroken line 2,555 years. He is the direct descendant of Ginmu, the “di vine conqueror,” who, according to Japanese mythology, “descended from heaven on the white bird of the clouds.” Lp to the opening of the present war the Japanese always carried the Oriental notion that their emperor should maintain a certain seclusion appropriate to his position. The fact that he was hardly known personally to his own people made him, however, more free to go among them incog nito, which he is said to have done extensively. In the emperor's reign the bands of feudalism that bound Japan to the middle ages have been broken. He granted a constitution voluntarily. Literature, science and industry were encouraged. It was only the remark able advancement in the reign of Mut suhito that made it possible for Ori ental Japan to be equal to the task of a possible successful war with Russia. War is costly, but it often lends the most powerful stimulus to advance ment. Japan has made more prog rcss within a few years than other Oriental nations have accomplished in centuries.—Boston Globe. SPORT AS A PEACEMAKER. International sporting events are oi immense value in promoting good feel ing between neighboring peoples. Men are like boys in that respect; good playmates seldom become very bittei enemies. Orientals break bread to gether and are thereby debarred from lifting their hands against each other Occidentals break "records” in friend ly competition, with a like effect. The Lipton races for the America’s Cup have been great promoters of the Anglo-American “entente.” They do not, of course, decide the question foi statesmen; but they incline the com mon people—who are the rules of both nations—toward a friendly policy. The automobile races between the French and the German chauffeurs have also been having an undoubted effect in bringing those two peoples together. King Sport is a peaceful Prince. Friendly sporting clubs can do quite as much for the world's peace as so many peace societies with their sol emn resolutions and their lurid defini tions of war. Peoples who visit each other as competing athletes and who entertain each other so generously that the visiting club never has quite a fair chance for the trophy, can with the utmost difficulty be induced to go gunning for each other in deadly earn est. The Sportsman's Cup is the modern substitute for the pipe of peace.— Montreal Herald. RUSSIA SHOULD RECALL HIS TORY. Few, if any. incidents in her history have reflected more credit upon Rus sia than her declaration of neutral rights, in 1780, which led to the for mation of the first armed neutrality. It is true that that declaration wa‘s formerly, perhaps first, made by Fred erick the Great of Prussia, and that from him it was carried to Russia and suggested to the Russian empress by France. But Russia has always had the popular credit of it, and it would seem ungracious to try to rob her of it. Rather is it profitable to recall that in that famous declaration Russia limited the list of contraband articles to the items of arms and ammunition and sulphur. Nay, more. The imme diate provocation of that act of Rus sia’s was Spain’s seizure of two Rus sian vessels laden with foodstuffs! It would be a strange turn about for Russia now to repudiate the principles of her famous declaration of neutral rights and herself to approve and com mit the very acts against which it was a protest and a prohibition. In 1870 she organized an armed neutral ity to uphold the principle that food was not contraband of war. Can it be that in 1904 she will set herself against all the world by declaring it is contraband of war? In a century and a quarter has the world, in her opinion, relapsed so far toward bar barism?—New York Tribune. THE BEST BRAIN WINS. The Japanese are well-informed and wait steadily with wonderful self control until their preparations for the grand attack are quite complete. It is in brain that they beat the Rus sians, whose soldiers die in heaps with all their old heroism, and who suffer less in morale from defeat than more mobile or better-commanded troops. They are there to die for the Czar, and they do their duty with a splendid unflinchingness which rival? that of the Japanese.—London Spec tator. GOOD SAILORS FROM THE WEST The recruiting service of the navy is getting plenty of desirable youn$ men of American birth just now especially from the west, and it is a singular fact that a western lac makes a good sailor, though he may never have seen salt water before he joined his ship or arrived at the train ing station. But the quality is in the bicod of the race and a few genera tions passed on the prairies does not eliminate it.—New York Press. Most Spoken Languages. There are 382,000,000 Chinese speak ing the same language, making Chi ’ nese the most spoken language. There ere so many dialects which are entire ! ly different that they seem scarcely to belong to the same tongue. The in habitants of Mongolia and Thibet can ; barely understand the dialect of the people in Pekin. Putting Chinese aside, the most spoken languages are as follows, in millions; English, 120; German, 70; Russian, CS; Spanish, 44; Portuguese, 22. -— -. ! Smallest Monarchy on Earth. The sovereign who reigns over the smallest monarchy in the world is the king of Cocos, a group of islands near Sumatra. These islands were dis : covered about 300 years ago by the j captain of the Keeling, but were com I paratively little known till 1825. When Mr. Ross, an Englishman, visited them he was struck by Aeir beauty and took up his abode there. It is his grandson, George Ross, who now holds sway over the Cocos. Churches on Bridges. The custom of building churches on bridges was common a hundred years and more ago. Several of these quaint old buildings are still left in Europe. | j The Chapel of Our Lady still stands on the bridge which spans the Don at ; Rotterdam. The little chapel was j i built in the fifteenth century and was ; ; restored about a hundred years ago. For several years, however, it has ! been used as a tobacco shop. Keeping Nervous System Healthy. As the nervous system exercises great power on ail the functions of I the body, it ought to be kept in a healthy condition by regular mental j work and judicious occupations. The fear often expressed that steady men | tal work is llkeiy to wear out the . brain too soon is unfounded. The wear- j ing theory is wrong, as well for men tal as physical work, both of which i may be continued in old age. ______ ; Home at the World’s Fair. D. C.

Mrs. Hayes, ot Boston, Mass., in the following letter tells how she was cured, after everything else failed, by Lydia E* Pinkham's Vegetable Compound* Mrs. Hayes’ First Letter Appealing to Mrs. Pinkham for Helps “Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—I have been under Boston doctors’ treat ment for a long time without any relief. They tell me I have a fibroid tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends up my spine. I have bearing-down pains both back and front. My ab domen is sw ollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. My ap petite ^is not good. I cannot walk or be on my feet for any length of fimo “The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book ac curately describe my case, so I write to vou for advice.”—(Signed) Mrs. E. F. Hayes, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Dos ton, Mass. Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham’s advice—al though she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take her medicine—which she knew would help her — her letter contained a mass of additional instruc tions as to treatment, all of which helped to bring about the happy result. “Dear 31 rs. Pinkham: —Sometime ago I wrote to you describ ing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed all your directions carefuliy, and to-day I am a well woman. “ The use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound entirely expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can walk miles now. “Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is worth five dol lars a drop. I advise all women who are afflicted with tumors or female trouble of any kind to give it a faithful trial.”—(Signed) Mtm. E. F. Hayes, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass. Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimony — or take the place of the health and happiness which Lydia E. 1’inkham’s Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Ilaycs. Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills', of women; all ovarian troubles; tumors; inflammations; ulceration, falling and dis- i placements of the womb; backache; irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation. Surely the volume and character of the testimonial let ters we are daily printing in the newspapers can leave no room for doubt. Mrs. Hayes at her above address will gladly answer any letter* which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness. Her gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that she thinks no trouble is too great for her to take in return for her health and happiness. Truly is it said that it is Lydia E.
