HAD TO GIVE UP. Suffered Agonies from Kidney Disoit ders Until Cured by Doan’s Kidney Pills. George W. Renoff, of 1953 North 11th St., Philadelphia, Pa., a man of good reputation and standing, writes: “Fire years ago I was suffering so with my back and kid neys that I often had to lay off. The kidney secre tions were unnat ural, my legs and stomach were swollen, and I naa do appetite. When doctors railed to help me I began using Doan’s Kid ney Pills and Improved until my baek was strong and my appetite returned. Jjniing the four yeara aince I stopped using them I have enjoyed excellent health. The cure was permanent” (Signed) GEORGE W. RENOFF. A TRIAL FREE—Address Foster Milburm Co., Buffalo. N. Y.

The secret method of multiplying millions by which the enormous for tunes of Standard Oil and other big financial institutions were created veritably out of nothing is the text of the September installment of “Frenzied Finance,” by Thomas W. Lawson, in Everybody's Magazine. It is no exageration to say that the article is of the most sensational in terest and importance. The story of how Standard Oil set about getting the control of banks and trust and insurance companies; how it juggled their fund* so as to extend its opera tions; the process of .the “trustifica tion” of corporations as they practice it. and the upbuilding of the greatest financial power in America today, makes a revelation of the most start ling significance. , Mrs. Burnett's English Home. Frances Hodgson Burnett, the au thor of “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” whose story of childhood, “In the Closed Room,” is now appearing in McClure’s Magazine, has returned for the summer to her English eountry hotne. Maytham Hall, in Kent Mrs. Burnett’s estate is a very’ old owe, lying in the most beautiful part of England's most picturesque county. The foundations of the house are over 700 years old, and the old church on the grounds is mentioned in the Doomsday Book. Attached to the Hall are two quaint villages, Rolven den street and Rolvenden lane. The September Atlantic.

Accounting for the Rooster. “I hid a curious case.” said Dr. Maddox at the Waldorf, "of a patient who was followed everywhere by a Shanghai rooster. It went with him visiting and to the barroom. "When he ordered a drink for himself he or dered one for the rooster, too. The rooster drank it. He introduced the rooster t® all his friends, and it sat by him at table. It was only by the strictest methods of diet and exercis* that I was at last able to rid him ol that rooster, but finally I did.” Phil Thompson, who was one of the party, occupied a moment in thought "I wouldn’t be surprised,” he con cluded then, "if that fellow had been drinking too many tocktails.”—New York Times. Sick Watch. A farmer entered the village watch maker’s shop and approaching the pro prietor, began, “I say, couldn’t one o' your men come out in the country with me and repair a watch?” "Why can’t you bring it here?" re turned the watchmaker. "Well, you see, it’s this way. It blongs to a man that’s pretty' sick, and he can’t spare it from beside his bed, so's to tell when to take his dose." “I should think it must be going all right if it answers that purpose.” " O, it’s a-runnin’,” returned the farmer, “ ’cause the man makes it. Buf he says he's gettin’ mighty tired o’ poking the wheels with a knittln' needle like that the day through, and he’s more’n willin’ to send the old mule down for any o’ you fellers that'll J come out and fix It”—Youth’s Com panion.

The barber was shad ing and a mosquito lit on his nose. The razor was directly under the bar* ber’a chin, and in making a slap to drive away the mosquito, he cut a deep gash in his throat A physician ar rived too late to save him. 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 os.—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 fctareh 1b free from all injurious chem icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-os. package it is because he has a stock on hand which be 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 money and the annoyance of the iroi Itieking.

Skrivseth of this place ^as been added to the steadily grow ing following that Dodd's Kidney Pills have in this part of the country. Mr. Skrivseth gives two reasons for his faith in the Great American Kidney Cure. The first is that they cured his wife and the second is that they cured himself. “I must say,” says Mr. Skrivseth, “that Dodd’s Kidney Pills are the best remedy for Kidney Trouble 1 ever knew. My wife bad Kidney Dis ease for years and she tried all kinds of medicine from doctors but It did not help her any. An advertisement led her to try Dodd’s Kidney Pills. The first box helped her so much that she took eight boxes more and now she is cured. "I also took three boxes myself and they made me feel better and stronger In every way.” Dodd’s Kidney Pills have sever yet failed to cure any kidney disease from Backache to Rheumatism, Dia betes or Bright’s Disease.

WHAT'S THE USE To Keep a “Coffee Complexion.” A lady caya: '‘Postum has helped my complexion so much that my ft lends say I am growing young again. My complexion used to be coffee col ored, muddy and yellow but it is now clear and rosy as when I was a girL I was induced to try Postum by a friend who had suffered just as 1 had suffered from terrible indigestion, pal pitation of the heart and sinking spells. "After I had used Postum a week I was so much better that I was afraid It would not last But now two years have passed and I am a well woman. I owe it all to leaving off coffee and drinking Postum In its place. "I had drank coffee all my life. I suspected that it was the cause of my trouble, but it was not until 1 actually quit coffee and started to try Postum that I became certain; then all my troubles ceased and I am now well and strong again.” Name furnished by Postum Oo., Battle Creek.

Treaty Prohibition Kept in the Letter, but Evaded in the Spirit—Arrange ment That Was Profitable to the White Men. “Have you ever heard how a treaty between the Modoc and Pit River In dians, way out in eastern Oregon, was nullified?’’ asked M. T. Rogers, while discussing frontier and early day ex periences. “The two tribes were at constant warfare with each other long years ago, and the fortunes of war varied. Some seasons victory would be with the Pit Rivers and at other times their hereditary enemies, the Modocs, would subjugate them. Upon one occasion the Modocs man aged to capture the entire band through some strategy, and when they counted noses it was found that cap tors and captured were about equal in number. When the necessary guards were supplied to keep the pris^ oners from escaping it was found that there were not enough Modocs left to do the himting or go on the war path. ‘Finally a council was held and the chiefs reached an agreement for a treaty of peace between the two tribes. The condition of the treaty was that the Pit River Indians were never again to own horses, this being required because the Modocs could ?asily keep them under control with out horses to do their marauding. The captured band returned to their hunting grounds and established vil lages, but were without horses for a number of years. "Attracted by the excellent sheep range territory’, ranchmen from North ern California invaded the Pit River country and brought with them large herds of ponies to be used in round ing up. The Indians looked with long ing upon the horses and finally the ranchmen learned the band was with out ponies. When the fall weather came and corrals were found neces sary, the ranchmen entered into an agreement for the services of the In dians to supply rails to fit up corrals. The Indians refused pay for the work done, but took ponies instead. They also refused to accept full pay, in sifting upon owing the ranchmen a balance upon each pony secured, so that the title remained in the name of the whites. “The Modocs, learning that their enemies had been supplied with ponies in violation of the treaty, made a raid, but were informed that the ponies were not the property of the Pit River Indians, but belonged to the white men. Through these methods the ranchmen secured the use of val uable grazing ground for many years, and the Indians found a way of get ting around the treaty.”—Milwaukee (Wis.) Sentinel. MEN NOT ALWAYS PUNCTUAL One Observer Says It Is the Woman Who Has to Wait. Which is the punctual or the least unpunctual sex? A correspondent who nas been making studies in the portico cf the Royal academy arrives at very certain conclusions, and he has given us the benefit of them. The two benches that flank the door are filled each morning at an even hour, such as 11, with ladies who have arrived any time during the preceding fifteen minutes. Their patient eyes are fixed on Picadilly. For ten minutes nothing occurs Then one by one men arrive, and the waiting woman rises with cheerful alacrity to join her dilatory lord. She offers no reproaches and he makes no apologies. "We are both punctual,” is the first man’s complacent exclamation to the woman who came a quarter of an houi early, and smiles, not in irony, but in pleasure, that her fifteen minutes of monotony is relieved by the assured presence of her expected man. The last laggard to arrive is half an hour late. "I thought it better to give you a little grace,” he says benevolent ly. And she murmurs, “Thanks.”— London Chronicle. Start of an Iowa Lawyer. An Iowa lawyer tells of his first months of practice. He went to a small country town and secured an office room, in front of which was placed the usual sign. Then he sat down and waited for his clients to appear, all the while feeling very much the dignity of his position. The day passed and no one called, and another, and another, until weeks went by, and still there had been nc client. One morning, however, he was at the depot to attend upon the arrival of the daily accommodation train, quite an important function of the town, when a handsome, well-dressed young lady approached and inquired, “is this Mr. Smith?” At once ths feeling of importance returned, and in his blandest tone replied: “It is madam.
