WHY THEYARE HAPPY
TWO NOTABLE RECOVERIES PROM
EXTREME DEBILITY.
Husband's Strength Had Been Waning for
Three Tears, Wife a Sufferer from
Female Weakness.
“ My strength had dwindled so that 1
couldn’t apply myself to my business
with any snap but was tired aud listless
all the time,” said Mr. Goldstein.
*• I went to bed completely used up by
my day’s work, aud when I got up in
the morning I didn’t feel rested a bit. I
had awful headaches too, aud my kid
neys got out of order and caused me to
have severe pains in the back. At one
time I became so feeble that I could not
stir from bed for three weeks.”
Mr. Goldstein is a young man and had
then but recently established a home of
his own. His anxieties were increased
by the fact that his wife was far from
being robust. Mrs. Goldstein says:
“ For two years I had been ill most of
the time. Sometimes I was confined to
bed for weeks in succession under a phy
sician's care. I had headaches, kidney
trouble, pain about the heart aud many
more uncomfortable symptoms con
nected with that weakness to which my
sex is peculiarly subject.”
Trouble had invaded this household
and settled in it in just the years that
ought to be the very happiest. Physicians
could not tell them how to get rid of it.
“ I was utterly discouraged,’’said Mr.
Goldstein. “Then the urgency of some
friends led me to try a blood aud nerve
remedy which was said to be wonder
fully successful. Within a month there
were unmistakable signs of improvement
in my condition, aud within a year 1
was completely well. Throngh the use
of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills I have now
as good health as I ever had in my life.”
Mrs. Goldstein adds: “ The wonderful
effect that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills had
in the case of my husband led me to try
them aud they helped me even more
quickly than they did him. One box
made me decidedly better and a few
months’treatment cured me.”
Dr. Williams’ Piuk Pills are the best
tonic aud regulator, they make pure,
rich blood aud when there is general
weakness and disorder that is what the
system needs. Mr. aud Mrs. H. Goldstein
live at 38 Gove street, East Boston, Mass.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by
druggists everywhere.
The First One to Give In.
Most newly married people experi
ence the first quarrel. A story is told
of a young wife who, in the midst ol
th discussion, was asked by her hus
band which she considered ought tc
give in first—the man, who was des
lined to be master of the woman, ox
the woman, who was created for thtj
man? The fair combatant settled the
matter with a kiss as she replied:
“Neither the stronger nor the weaker,
but the one who loves the most.”

ears?”
To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use in the market and
who is reasonably satisfied with the
old, we would Suggest that a trial of
Defiance Cold Water Starch be made
at once. Not alone because it is guar
anteed by the manufacturers to be su
perior to any other brand, but because
each 10c package contains 16 ozs.,
while all the other kinds contain but
12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady
who once uses Defiance Starch will use
no other. Quality and quantity must
win. _

Famous Summer Hotel, the Grand
Union of Saratoga, Has Installed
This Best of All Artificial Lights—
Means Increased Comfort and
Health.
Saratoga, June 27.—The very name,
“Saratoga,” brings to every mind
health-giving springs, unsurpassed
hotels and beautiful drives. It
has been for many years the
Mecca for all who admire nature, i
enjoy good living, and are searching
for health, or are simply taking a va
cation.
The Grand Union, the largest sum
mer hotel in the United States, set
among green trees with its long wings
enclosing a court with fountains and
flowers, grass and trees, music and
light, is throughout the season throng
ed with guests. With the progressive
spirit always shown by its manage
ment, the Grand Union has again add
ed to its attractiveness by introduc
ing acetylene gas to make still more
brilliant the evening hours. The ge
nial proprietors believe in furnishing
their guests with the best of every
thing, and now, after investigating
and finding that Artificial Sunlight
can be had, they have installed a com
plete acetylene gas plant to produce
it, and have connected upwards of 6ix
thousand acetylene burners in and
about the house and grounds to this
little gas plant.
Like many discoveries of recent
years, which are coming into popular
favor, acetylene, one of the most re
cent, is very simply produced. It is
adapted for use wherever artificial
light is needed and the necessary ap
paratus can be understood and oper
ated by anyone.
The generator in which Acetylene
Is produced by the automatic contact ol
carbide and water might be termed a
gas plant, as it performs all of the func
tions of a city gas plant. The acet
ylene generator can be purchased for
a few dollars and in any size, from
one adapted to furnish acetylene to
ten or a dozen burners for a cottage,
up to the large but still simple ma
chine such as is now furnishing
Acetylene for six thousand burners
in the Grand Union.
Outside' of large cities the use of
Acetylene is quite common. The
owner of the country home now de
mands running water, gas and other
conveniences which a few years ago
were considered as luxuries, and
acetylene gas has met his require
ments, and gives him a better and
cheaper light than is ordinarily fur
nished in cities.
It is well known that rooms lighted
with Acetylene are more comfortable,
because cooler, and more healthful be
cause the air is not vitiated.
Why Butter is Eaten.
There are generally scientific rea

the fat which the body craves. Mill:
is taken with rice pudding to make up
the deficiency of proteid which rice
lacks.

Of Wide Interest.
Breed, Wis., June 26.—Special—
Chas. Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace
for Oconto Co., has delivered a judg
ment that is of interest to the whole
United States. Put briefly, that judg
ment is, "Dodd’s Kidney Pills are the
best Kidney medicine on the market
to-day.”
And Mr. Peterson gives his reason
for this judgment. He says: “Last
winter I had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much.
In the morning I could hardly straight
en my back. I did not know what it
was but an advertisement led me to
try Dodd’s Kidney Pills. After taking
one box I can only say they have done
more for me than expected as I feel as
well now as ever I did before.”
Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms of Kidney disease. If not
cured by Dodd’s Kidney Pills it may
develop into Bright’s Disease, Dia
betes, Rheumatism or some of the
other deadly forms of Kidney Disease.

THE AMERICAN TYPE
AS DISTINCTIVE AS THAT OF
OTHER RACES.
Prominent Features of a Century or
More Ago Are Still in Evidence—
Children of Uncle Sam Easily Rec
ognized.
There is as distinctive a type of
American manhood as there is of any
other country. True, the American
people are a mixture. We combine
several different races and bloods.
But the intermixtures has gone on so
gradually, the original American type
always prevalent, that the American
man is a distinct representative of
civilization, differing from the English
man, the Frenchman and the German,
as much as these differ from each
other.
Examination of the portraits of rev
olutionary times and those of the pres
ent date show little if any difference
between the men of the earlier times
and those of the present day, save in
the matter of attire. Dress the peo
ple of the present day as were
the people of the revolutionary epoch
appareled and nothing could be found
to establish a notable difference be
tween the American of to-day and the
American of the last quarter of the
eighteenth century. Food, climatic
conditions and occupations have all
much to do with the physical peculiar
ities of a people. The races that have
for centuries received no admixture
of foreign blood retain peculiarities
that seem unchangeable.
What people eat and drink, their
dwelling places, the soil and climate
they inhabit, their worship, amuse
ments and work all determine looks.
The American Indian when first met
on this continent by adventurous
Europeans lived almost exclusively on
a meat and fish diet, the product of
chase and other adventure. He was
tall, thin, muscular and daring. His
eye was bright, his hearing acute. He
looked tne fearless being that he
really was. He had to fight wild
beast and savage man. He feared
neither. The early white settlers,
obliged by the peculiar conditions of
pioneer times tb live in a measure
like the Indians, became also tall,
thin, muscular, daring. Their eyes
flashed with the fearlessness that
characterizes the American race of
the present.
"We have a more generous and va
ried diet than our ancestors. Diet
affects personal appearances in
marked degree. WTe are becoming a
larger and heavier race, but the dis
tinctive features of a century or more
ago are still in evidence. The Ameri
can is easily recognizable everywhere
he goes in foreign lands. He will for
a long time present the same type
that to-day distinguishes him from
men of all other races.—Louisville
Herald.

The Atkins saw works of this city,
says the Indianapolis Sentinel, has
just completed a large saw contain
ing 200 teeth, with, a Brazilian dia
mond imbedded in each tooth. The
saw was shipped recently to Bedford,
Ind., to be used in one of the bif
stone quarries there.
The saw is eight feet in diameter,
five-sixteenths of an inch thick and
weighs almost half a ton. Instead of
having sharp teeth, this peculiar saw
has almost a smooth edge. Secured
across the edge of the outer rim are
200 inserted steel holders; imbedded
in each is a large Brazilian diamond.
The diamond points compose the
teeth of the saw, which will be used
to cut Indiana limestone into desired
sizes.
The diamonds are about a karat in
size and are very dark. Each stone
is valued at $20. Two other saws, du

When Depew Hurried.
Senator Chauncey M. Depew of New
York tells this one at his own ex
pense. He was stumping the state of
New York in the campaign of 1900,
having big audiences and kiqdly re

the republican managers har arranged
to have a cannon near the stand of
the speaker and to have it fired off
every time the people gave vent to
applause. Senator Depew kept the
'people hurrahing most all of the time.
At last stopping to take breath, he
distinctly heard this query come
across the field:
“Cap, when is the old galoot going
to quit? I’ve only got four cartridges
left.”
Depew said he finished his speech in
four minutes.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

less of others’ faults; in every person
who comes near you look for what is
good and strong; honor that; rejoice
in it; and, as you can try to imitate it,
and your faults will drop off like
dead leaves when their-time comes.—•
