PROVES GREAT POWER
When Regular Medical Treatment
Failed, Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
Cured Her Rheumatism.
Hundreds of people afflicted with rheu
matism have spent years under the care
of excellent physicians in vain. Then
they have settled down to the conviction
that it is fastened on them for life. Mrs.
Dinsmore was not willing to join the
ranks of the hopeless merely because her
ioctor did not know how to help her.
Here is her story:
“ Four years ago I suffered greatly
With rheumatism in my hands and
knees. After I had been sitting a while
my limbs seemed so heavy I could hardly
walk on the first attempt. So long as 1
tept moving I was all right, but just as
soon as I stopped, something seemed to
settle in my knees and make them ache.
My hands were so bad I couldn’t touch
the palms of them on a flat surface; they
were swollen and pained so.”
‘‘Did you call in a physician?”
“I doctored steadily for over a year;
then one doctor said : ‘ You have taken
medicine strong enough to kill almost
anything.’ Still, it did not kill me nor
the rheumatism.”
“ How, then, did you get rid of it?”
“At different times I had read in vari
ous publications about Dr. Williams'
wonderful Pink Pills for Pale People,
and I finally decided to try them. I took
them steadily for four mouths in ac
cordance with the directions. By that
time I was completely cured.”
“ Have you been free from it ever
since?”
“ since tuen I nave nad bnt one slight
retarn of my trouble, and a box or two of
the same pills made me all right again.”
Mrs. F. A. Diusmore lives in hearty
enjoyment of her recovered health at
Woburn, Mass., entirely freed from the
grave anxieties that rheumatism always
brings. When it appears in but a single
joint it shows that the blood is in a faulty
state in the whole body. It may at any
moment break out elsewhere, and one of
the dangers is that it may break out in
the heart and then the result must be
fatal. The only security is to keep the
blood all the time in a perfectly sound
condition.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills make healthy
blood. All other relief is superficial.
This is thorough. These pills are sold
by all druggists.

being a bona fide motorist.
ALL CROPS GOOD IN WESTERN
CANADA.
“Potatoes the Finest I Ever 3aw.”
Owing to the great amount of in
terest that is being taken in Western
Canada, it is well to be informed of
some of the facts that are bringing
about the great emigration from por
tions of the United States.
The Canadian government has au
thorized agents at different points, and
the facts related in the following may
be corroborated on application. At the
same time they will be able to quote
you rates, and give you certificates en
titling you to low rates on the differ
ent lines of railway. The following
letter copied from the North Bend
(Neb.) Eagle is an unsolicited testi
monial, and the experience of Mr.
Auten Is that of hundreds of other
Americans who have made Canada
their home during the past seven or
eight years:
I presume some may be interested
to know how we have progressed this
year in the Canadian Northwest. We
have no complaint to offer. We have
had a good year, crops were good and
we have had a delightful season. I
threshed from my place 8,650 bushels
of grain. My oats made 65 bushels
per acre and weighed 42*4 pounds per
bushel. My wheat made 31*6 bushels
per acre and is No. 1 quality. My
barley made about 30 bushels of good
quality. My crop is a fair average of
the crops in the Edmonton district.
“All crops were good here this sea
son. Potatoes the finest I ever saw,
and all vegetables adapted to the cli
mate. We.'have had a very fine fall,
but no exception to the rule, as the
fall season is. I think, the most pleas
ant of the year. We have had no
snow yet (Nov. 9), and have been
plowing and working the land prepar
ing for an early seeding next spring.
Last night the mercury dropped lower
than any previous night this fall, and
this morning there is a crust of frost
on the fields sufficient to prevent field
work. No doubt many would imagine
that Alberta had put on her winter
overcoat before this and that the peo
ple were wrapped in furs, but it is
-inly a question of time when this
country will not be looked upon as an
Iceberg, but a country fit for the best
of mankind to live in.
“We are now assured of a trans
continental railway, which is to be
built to the Pacific during the next
five years. The Canadian Northern
road Is graded to within seventy-five
miles of Edmonton. It comes from
Winnipeg, and will reach us next sum
mer, so with one railroad already at
hand, thp second to reach us in less
than a year, and the third to penetrate
our city and open up this country to
the west across the Rockies to the
coast within five years, we surely have
reason to believe that the country is
progressing.
“Very respectfully, L. J. AUTEN.”
Bare Feet for Health.
People who go barefooted and those
who wear sandals instead of shoes, it
is said, rarely have colds in the head
or any form of influenza.
Ancient Literary Work.
The book of Job is believed to be
the most ancient literary work in
existence. It is known to have
been written prior to tne Pentateuch
and prior to the promulgation of the
law.
Biggest Toboggan Slide.
St. Moritz, in Switzerland, has the
biggest toboggan slide in the world
It Is three-quarters of a mile long, and
has been descended in a whiz of only
seventy-one seconds.
Unique Picture Frame.
An idea equally new for a frame
and one made with much less labor
than the canvas work, is to paint with
water colors a striking, rather pro
nounced flower, a poppy or an iris.
This then should be cut out and past
ed on a background of Japanese grass
cloth, vivid red if a poppy and blue
or green if an iris is chosen. The
whole then is framed in passe partout
style. This gift costs very little and
is highly decorative.
Charming Hat.
Pale blue felt is used in the above
hat. It is trimmed with a crush crown
band of pale blue uncut velvet, with
cascade of loops and two black tips
at front.
Bows and Buttons.
Bows and buttons decorate so many
modish frocks that they play an im
portant part in the trimming scheme
of the season. There are little short,
perky, cobby bows, and long, thin,
serious, straight bows—bows with
dangling tails depending, bows minus
tails. They are of Hack velvet, of
ribbon, of silk: they are of gold or
silver gauze, but of whatever shape or
material they are distinctly conspicu
ous. There are loops of velvet cov
ered cord and velvet buttons; there
are leaf shaped tabs of applied velvet,
with center of rhinestone and there
are charming enamel or diamante but
tons and even old silver, not to men
tion gilt and gun metal, comes into
the button field. Few of these fancy
buttons serve as real fasteners, their
charm and their interest centering in
their decorative value, which, in most
instances, is sufficient to warrant fhe
attention that the button is receiving
just now. Concerning the bow opin
ions differ as to its decorative influ
ence, but it can safely be said that one
tires more quickly of the bow than the
button.
Souffle of Apple.
Pare, core and slice six or seven
fine, juicy apples. Stew them in a
double sauce pan, without adding any
water, till quite tender. Mash these
to a pulp, stirring in two tablespoons
ful of butter, a teacupful of white
sugar, and flavor with greated lemon
peel and nutmeg. When quite cold,
beat in first the yolks of four eggs,
and then alternately beat in the very
stiffly beaten whites and a cupfi’,1 of
breadcrumbs. Beat for three minutes
till the mixture is a creamy batter,
then pour into a buttered pie dish,
cover with greased paper, which
should be kept on until ten minutes
before serving, as it will prevent the
juice from drying up and a crust form
ing on the top. Bake for an hour all
together in a moderate oven, turn out
and sprinkle with sugar before serv
ing.
Gown in OlcT Design.
A costume was worn at a reception
not long ago that was so original that
it was positively refreshing. It con
sisted of a green velvet gown and
mantle of just the shade you would
imagine the heroine of a historical
novel would wear. The gown was
long and straight and fell in graceful
lines from the bare shoulders, being
loosely fitted at the waist. The angel
sleeves were fitted with raw silk in a
faint old blue, deeply embroidered up
from the hand on the inside in rich
purple, relieved with white. The dec
olletage was embroidered with the
same design in seed pearls, amethysts
and turquoises, to carry out the color
scheme.
The mantle was a graceful thing in
green, with blue and purple tones,
and draped over the left shoulder,
where it was fastened with a great
jeweled clasp of ancient design. The
whole was as truly mediaeval as any
thing ever seen off the stage, and yet
the effect was not in the least start
ling.
To be graceful and womanly in
dress is an object worth striving for
and can never result in bad taste.
Designs for Fans.
Seasons may come, and seasons may
go, but the fan waves on forever.
Just now it waves in fashionable cir
cles, most conspicuously in real lace
and spangles. Particularly for the
young girl are these, the preferred
types of zephyr creators, and this year
they are lovely enough to tempt the
least envious of girls to covet their
possession. Mother of pearl is the
favorite mount and most of the fans
are small. Silver, gold and opales
cent hued spangles glisten and gleam
from a background of white or black
gauze, plain and inlet with floral mo
tifs in point de gaze. Duchess or Chan
tilly lace. Ivory and tortoise, as well
as pearl, are used for mounts, and
two of the favorite designs are pic
tured above.
Muffins and gems made without
eggs, but with more milk and butter,
the batter beaten with a wooden
spoon till it is very light, are said to
be indistinguishable from those made
with eggs.
When ivory has become yellow
from age or use wash it well with
soapy water and a brush and bleach
it by standing it in the sun for sev
eral days, wetting it repeatedly with
soapy water.
Stains made by dipping candle
grease (and such ugly things are the
penalty one pays for these ornament
al adjuncts to the dinner table) may
be removed by placing a piece of
blotting paper over the spots and
pressing with a hot iron. This ap
plies to stains in fabrics.
To whiten linen take one pound of
fine white soap, cut it up into a gal
lon of milk and put it over the fire in
a kettle. When the soap has quite
melted put in the linen and boil for
half an hour. Now take it out, hav
ing ready a lather of soap and wa-m
water. Wash the linen in it and then
rinse it through two cold waters, with
very little blue in the last.
Three Essential Points.
The woman who wishes to appear
fashionable this season must insist
upon three small but essential points
when, choosing her winter costume.
She must demand width across the
shoulders, a slender waist and nicely
rounded hips. Nor is it necessary to
WALKING SUITS FROM PARIS.
The suit at the left is of mahogany
colored cloth. The fitted jacket, with
basque back, is slightly shirred and is
ornamented in front with straps of
braid of a darker shade and with gold
buttons. The turn-over collar is of
velvet matching the braid and the
chemisette is of cream lace. The
waistcoat is white silk pique, buttoned
with mother-of-pearl buttons.
The sleeves are most original, the
part way up each of the front
breadths.
The outer costume Is of olive-green
cloth. The blouse is shirred along the
shoulders and apparently qver the tops
of the sleeves, and again at the bottom
in front and back, where it is slightly
draped. The shoulder straps and the
strap in the middle of the front are of
the cloth, the latter ornamented with
paa*ementerie buttons. The high
puff is finished with three shaped over
lapping bands of the material, which
extend up the inside of the arm, dwin
dling to points. Under these is an
other puff trimmed with the braid
and buttons and finished with a deep
mousquetaire cuff, also of the mate
rial, which, like the bands, is orna
mented with buttons.
The skirt is finished at the bottom
with the shaped bands, which extend
turn-over collar is of linen embroid- |
ered in many colors. The sleeve is 1
plaited to form two cuffs, a large and
small one, and is finished with a deep
plain cuff ornamented with buttons.
The skirt is plaited at the top and
finished with a deep gathered flounce,
headed by rows of stitching and
trimmed with bands of velvet of a
darker shade in graduated widths.
The girdle is of the material.
contract the waist to give it the proper
slim effect. The breadth of shoulder
accentuates the smallness of the waist,
and a good modiste can accomplish
both with little inconvenience to her
customer.
Apples Baked with Jelly.
Pare and core six good-sized apples
and stick cloves all around the top
near the opening of each one; put
them in a tin pan in the oven, and
add half a cup of sugar water and
bake till done; put the peels and cores
in a sauce pan, cover with water and
boil till tender; strain through a jelly
bag, return the juice to sauce pan
and boil twenty minutes; then add foi
each pint of juice one pound of sugai
and boil ten minutes; remove the
apples to a glass dish, pour the apple
jelly over them and serve them cold.
Mutis display two kinds of fur com
bined.
AH the fur coats crave little cra
vats of ermine.
A cloth made of rabbits’ wool Is
new in millinery.
Bright colors run riot in the silk
petticoat corner.
Mink is accounted a comforting
substitute tor sable.
Brown is undoubtedly the fashion
able color of the winter.
The finest of embroidery supplants
lace on the new underwear.
Most of the taffeta frocks seem de
termined to be copper-brown.
Even the pert little plume that
stands erect runs into several colors.
There are possibilities of a dainty
evening wrap in an old white lace
shawl.
Glimpses of New Millinery.
Curious flower-like trimmings are
used—and the flower idea is carried
out through the whole trimming. Rib
bons are looped and gathered up
across a crown into great flat clus
ters that look like a huge dahlia, with
a velvet dahlia in exactly the same
shades perched on the brim.
Pale pinks and blues used separate
ly or mingling in a gauzy, indistinct
way make up some of the prettiest of
the evening hats.
Some of the velvet hats are shirred
on wires and puffings have found their
way on everything.
Fur and velvet combinations are in
high favor.
Fur crowns are in the handsomest
hats, with velvet brims, and often vel
vet flowers on the crown and ban
deau.

with lace and chiffon and embroidered
vest.
Change in Corsets.
“There is quite a change in the
style of corsets for this season." says
a corset salesman. “A new style has
been made for certain figures that
have never before been shown. The
bust line will be lengthened. That
does not mean that old-fashioned, high
bust corset is coming in style again,
but that there will be a arop in the
waist line. The high bust corsets
will probably never come in again, at
least for many years. Heretofore the
line below the waist has occupied so
much attention that the waist line has
been neglected, but this new form has
remedied this defect. The styles that
prevailed in the last’season will still
be good, but the new one takes care
of figures that have not heretofore re
ceived much attention.
“The tendency in the corset market
is getting to be gradually toward
higher grade goods. Women are get
ting more particular than they used
to be.
“It may seem strange, but a much
more expensive and higher grade cor
set can be sold in South Africa than
in this country. There we can sell a
$35 corset where we cannot sell one
for $15 here.”
New Fruit Mixtures.
Grapes divested of skins and stones
and mtxed with pineapple frappe is
one of the latest combinations. Onlj
two kinds of fruit are allowable in s
salad, according to certain cooks
Sliced oranges and bananas, oranges
and apples and pears, without othei
accompaniment than a dash of mar
arschino, arc among the favorite
blends.
The Bronze Button.
There's a little bronze button, that’s
dearer by far,
Tharfi diamond, or ruby, or jewel, or star;
To neroes who wear it, 'tis worth more
than gold.
It links together those comrades of old.
What memories it brings of boys living
and dead;
Of fathers and brothers who struggled
and bled
To keep us a nation; they’re veterans
who fought.
They’re known by the button they wear
on their coat.
That little bronze button, the favorite
charm
Of gray-bearded soldiers, who’ve piled
up their arms;
They're mustering heroes by hundreds
each day.
Those veterans who battled, the blue
•gainst the gray.
But sti" they are ready for country to
fight,
'Til di^.,. sounds the taps, and they bid
us good night;
Let's honor these heroes, as proudly we
note
The lutie bronze button that’s worn on
their coat.
That little bronze button, still keep it In
view;
And honor the wearers once brave boys
in blue.
They all ate their hard-tack, and march
ed side by side.
’Tis the Grand Army button they wear
with such pride.
Some Enlisted Men.
“I remember,” said the major, “sev
eral men with histories who enlisted
in the first three months of the war
to carry muskets. There were a full
hundred men in my company in the
three months’ service, but I didn't
know the antecedents of more than
twenty of them. All were well ap
pearing men. and a few seemed to me
rollicking dare devils looking for trou
ble or adventure. I noticed in the
first week’s drill in the mud of camp
one man who was disregardful of in
jury to a very fine pair of trousers,
which he wore every day. These
would be crusted with mud half way
to the knees some days and yet the
wearer was never disturbed.
“Every garment that he wore was
of fine material, and he started in
every morning clean as to person and
apparel. However, he trotted around
with the most awkward of men, mak
ing no , remarks, until some visitors
identified him one day as the son of
an old army officer who had run away
from school and enlisted. For years
I watched with interest his steady
■ promotion in the regular army. An
other man puzzled me not a little. He
was a fair skinned, pink cheeked,
slender young fellow, very choice in
his speech, and gracious in manner.
One day there was a scrap in his
mess and he handled himself so well
that I asked, ‘Where did you learn to
use your fists?' Taken off his guard,
he said, ‘At Eton, sir,’ and in a
weeks I learned that he was a young
Englishman who. traveling in this
country, had bolted his tutor and en
listed. He served a year and was
sent home by the British minister.
“In one of the early drills I noticed
a man who seemed to regard the drill
officer with smiling wonder, but who
was stupidly or perversely awkward
in executing commands. One day I
ordered him to the front and said
good humoredly, ‘The awkward squad
wfll give an exhibition drill for the
benefit of officers and men.’ Without
more ado I put him through the
French zouave drill, and, much to the
amazement of the men, he executed
every movement with marvelous dis
patch and precision. I then put him
through our own manual, and he did
as well as in the zouave drill. He had
been having lots of fun, but the next
day took up without protest the work
of drill master for several companies.
“In a few days he complained of a
‘darned Dutchman’ in one of the com
panies, given, he thought, to deriding
his methods. I sent for the quiet
German and asked him what he had
to say for himself. He said at once,
‘That Frenchman is not a man to drill
others for practical work. He is too
much inclined to frills and showy
movements when you are not watch
ing him, and he has no character
whatever, but I never meant to make
any complaint, because all ttiis is
none of my business.’ A few ques
tions brought out the fact that I had
in the company half a dozen men who
had received military training in Eu
rope, and most of them were service
able in a larger field later in the war.”

Army Nurse for Three Years.
Mrs. Margaret Hamilton, whose ex
perience as an army nurse is one of
the most interesting, is secretary of
the Massachusetts State association.
She was born in Rochester, N. Y.
Her family were Roman Catholics,
and, being religiously inclined, she
desired to become a sister of charity.
Her wishes met with great opposi
tion from her father,' but finally, in |
1860 she was allowed to enter an or
phan asylum of the order as an as
pirant.
After three months’ probation she
was sent to the mother house at
Emmitsburg, Md., where she was six
months under instruction. As soon
as she was qualified, she was given
the habit of the order, and was sent
to the orphan asylum at Albany to
teach. This was during the autumn
of 1861.
The war having broken out, Mrs.
Hamilton who, of course, was not
then married, began to regret that
she was unable to go as a nurse. But
in the early spring of 1862, an order
came from the mother house for
three sisters and herself to go to the
Satterlee TT. S. military hospital,
West Philadelphia.
Arriving there, she found a few
other sisters, among them being a
niece of Gen. Beauregard who ha'd
connected herself with the sisters
greatly against the wishes of her fam
ily, they being much opposed to her
acting as nurse to northern men.
She herself evidently did not relish
her task, for after eight weeks of
such service she was missed, and it
was not known what became of her.
Dr. I. I. Hayes, the Arctic explorer,
was the surgeon in charge of the
Satterlee hospital. This hospital,
which was built to accommodate
5,000 patients, was opened May 1,
1862.
There were few of the horrors of
war that the nurse? who were sta
tioned there were not made to real
ize. The corps was insufficient for
the demand, and they had scarcely
time to eat, sleep or rest. Mrs. Ham
ilton suffered greatly with blistered
feet, but her labors were unremitting.
During the battles of ’62, '63 and
’64 the Satterlee hospital was always
filled with sick and wounded men.
After the battle of Gettysburg, the
wards were overcrowded, tents being
erected on the grounds to accommo
date 2,000 soldiers, the greater part
of whom were colored troops. The
weather being warm, the condition
of the wounds became most repul
sive, the hospital presenting a true
picture of the horrors of war.
But Mrs. Hamilton says that she
has always been grateful that she
could give three of the best years o£
her life to her country.
Grant’s Famous Letter.
This letter from President Ulysses
S. Grant is one of the most interest
ing in the collection of the Brooklyn
museum. It is as follows:

an armistice and the appointment ot
commissioners to settle on the terms
of capitulation is just received.
No terms except unconditional sur
render can be accepted.
I propose to move immediately

Nursing Shattered Her Health.
Mrs. Jane M. Worrall. senior vice
president of the Massachusetts army
nurse association, is one of the vie
I tims which ill-health has claimed
among: the army nurses, having been
for some time one of the “shut-ins.”
# When the war broke out Mrs. Wor
rail resided with her husband and twc
' children in the southwestern part ol
: Virginia. Owing to the teeling which
existed against northerners, Mr. ano
Mrs. Worrall removed to Boston.
Business, however, called Mr. Wor
rail back to Virginia, where he was
! taken prisoner. He succeeded in mak
ing his escape when he returned to
: Boston and enlisted in the 24th Mass
volunteer regiment.
In 1863 he re-enlisted, serving in all
; four years and eight months. At the
I time of his re-enlistment, Mrs. Wor
i rail decided to enter the service as
an army nurse, having been commis
| sioned by Miss Dix.
Mrs; Worrall’s first assignment was
i in connection with the Columbian hos
pital, Washington, D. C., where she
immediately took charge of a ward ol
twenty-five cots. Just before entering
upon her duties Mrs. Worrall had a
depressing experience that led her tc
say, "If I am to be of any use I must
learn to control myself. I am here tc
cheer, not to sadden, the lives of my
I patients.”
The bracing effect of this resolution
was observed by the matron of the
hospital, who said to her, “Mrs. Wor
rail, of all the nurses we have had,
you are the only one who has re
frained from crying when going
through the ward for the first time.
I know you will make a good, true
nurse.”
At Fortress Monroe, Mrs. Worrall
was given charge of the wards, acting
as a special nurse to the corfederate
Gen. Walker of South Carolina, also
to Capt. Small and Capt. Babb, both
of whom were union men. Afterward,
she went to the West Building hos
pital, Baltimore, where she remained
until the hospital closed.
Just before the closing of the hos
pital she contracted typhoid fever in
its worst form, barely surviving from
the attack. She has never been well
since. Mrs. Worrall was in the serv
ice a year and a half. She has been
breveted major.
Lincoln to Grant.
“My Dear General: I do not re
nember that you and I ever met per
sonally. I write this now as a grate
ul acknowledgment for the almost
nestimable service you have done the
:ountry. I wish to say a word fur
her. When you first reached the vi
inity of Vicksburg, I thought you
hould do what you finally did—
oarch the troops across the neck,
un the batteries with the transports,
,nd thus go below; and I never had
ny faith, except a general hope that
ou knew better than I, that the Ya
oo Pass expedition and the like
ould succeed. When you got below
nd took Port Gibson, Grand Gulf,
nd vicinity, I thought you should
o down the river and join Gen.
tanks, and when you turned north
rard, east of the Big Black, I feared
; was a mistake. I now wish to
lake the personal acknowledges
tiat you were right and I was
rrong.”—July 13, 1863.

MIGHT HAVE SAVED IT
A Lot of Trouble from Too Much
Starchy Food.
A little boy of eight years whose
parents did not feed him on the right
kind of food, was always nervous and
suffered from a weak condition of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and
after the operation the doctor, know
ing that his intestinal digestion was
very weak, put him on Grape-Nuts
twico a day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his Father states,
'He has grown to be strong, muscu
ar, and sleeps soundly, weighs 63
pounds, and hfs whole system is in a
ino condition of health.” Name given
jy Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
It is plain that if he had been put
>n Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in
lis life, and kept from the use of
’oods that he could not digest, he nev
jr would have had appendicitis. That
lisease is caused by undigested food
iecaying in the stomach and bowels,
:aueing irritation and making for the
growth of all kinds of microbes, set
ing up a diseased condition which is
he active cause of appendicitis, and
his is more marked with people who
lo not properly digest white bread.
Grape-Nuts is made of the selected
tarts of wheat and barley and by the
>ecullar processes of the cooking at
he factory, all of the staren is turned
ato sugar ready for immediate diges
ion and the more perfect nourish
aent of all parts of the body, particu
srly the brain and nerve centers.
