Loop City Northwestern 4. W. BURLKIQH, Rubl1«h«r. LOUP CITT, . . NEBRASKA. Few young men are really as bad as the girls try to make them thin*, they are. \ Theory aside, few things are more efficiently expiatory of sin than mak ing money at it. Tiflis is reported quiet. If Tiflis has settled down there is no excuse for turmoil anywhere else. Stone-soled shoes have been pro duced by an Illinois inventor. Don’t let papa see this, Mildred. With the retirement of the peace makers from the scene the mapmak ers will proceed to get busy. Competent authorities declare that the fall styles will be marked by full sleeves and empty pocketbooks. “We sleep too much,” says Edison. Is this another case of race suicide? Have a baby in the house, Thomas. Apple jack is said to be “on the de line.” As a matter of fact, it has been toing down ever since we can remem ber. One of the funniest things in life is to see an author of detective stories trying to decide where he left his um brella. Hoops are to be the style, according to the dressmakers. The dressmakers must have heard about the three hoops in Hades. Ten Delaware editors have come to the rescue of the state by promising to run things hereafter. When editors agree all is well. The dressmakers, in convention, have decided that waists must be smaller this season. Many young men will be pleased to help. A cynic declares that young people simply hop nowadays, instead of danc ing. Nothing drags these times, broth er—not even people’s feet. Much of the trouble in the Taggart family would have been avoided if they had arranged matters so as to be both sober at the same time. Possibly William Waldorf Astor needs that million he is trying to get from the city of New York. He may have bought another automobile. This is expected to be the greatest football season ever known in the history of the game. Harvard already has three players on the hospital list. A cable station has been established ou the island of Yap. If a grave em ergency arises in consequence of this the cable tolls can be made prohibit ive. Some Philadelphia politicians who have been making money out of the public are in a fair way to have their entire living expenses borne by the state. A man is going to put a live lion into a vaudeville sketch. If he would nut the other vaudeville actors in the lion, he would be doing a magnificent service. With the salary of Norway's new ruler fixed at $175,000 a year, it seems strange to some that there should be any difficulty in finding a man to take the throne. In Newport society the Idea seems to be that some young woman is to marry Jimmie Hyde’s marble palace, acquiring Jimmie as one of the inci dental properties. It must have hurt Sir Thomas Lip ton’s pride a lot to be tossed from the saddle and kicked in the face by his horse just as he was passing in re view before the king. It is the urgent advice of the royal physician that the czar and the czar ina and the children will spend two months at Darmstadt. Here’s hoping that the baby’s bombproof. New Jersey has a society of 14,000 men who never use swear words. To appreciate what great self-restraint this implies you have only to consider what life in New Jersey is like. Certainly there was a sense of hu mor in that English workman who had the rich man’s disease, appendi citis, and accounted for it on the ground that the attack came on pay day. The fact that there were 35 cents in the pocket of a New York editor found murdered the other day is accepted by the police as conclusive evidence that robbery was not the motive of the crime. The New York American calls at tention to an unlovely phase of hu man nature when it remarks that hor rible accidents to balloonists are be coming so common of late that an ascent never fails to draw a huge crowd. President Hadley of Yale, In his speech at the banquet to the Russian envoys, illustrated his remarks by quoting a poker player and Kipiing, showing that our college presidents are not altogether of the cloistered recluse type. Science is contemplating the sub stitution of the hearts of monkeys for those of men w hen the latter have worn out the heart which nature gave them. The life and conduct of some men is such as to make it a certainty that they will not he losers by tue proposed change. 1 The rich Parisian w ho has offered a prize of $20,000 for the discovery of a method of communicating with any of the planets has made sure of a lot of advertising, and it won’t coat him a continental centime, either. LOSS OF APPETITE Cold Sweats, Twitching Nerves and Weakness Cured by Dr. Williams* Pink Pills. Nature punishes every infraction ©1 her laws, aud careless habits easily lead to the condition described by Mr. Wil liam Browne, of No. 1019 Lincoln street, St. Joseph, Mo. Mr. Browne is an ex pert tinner in the employ of the National Biscuit Co. He gives the following ac count of a trying experience: “In the spring of 1902,” he says, " while I was regularly working at my trade, I grew somewhat careless in my habits of eating and drinking, aud finally fonud that my appetite was fickle, a bad taste lingered in my mouth, my nerves twitched aud were beyond my control, my kidneys were out of order and cold sweats would break oat over my body at odd times. Perhaps, while I stood talk ing with some one, this trembling of the limbs, aud profuse sweating, and a severe chill would seize me. I becams alarmed at my condition aud, having read an endorsement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I got a box and began to use them. They helped me at once.. Aftei I had used one box the twitching of the nerves, the trouble with the stomach aud the cold sweats stopped and have not reappeared, and my appetite is good. I have told all my friends that Dr. Wil liams’ Pink Pills cared me and I recom mend them to everybody.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cured Mr. Browne because nothing can strengthen the nerves except good rich, red blood— and Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills actually make new blood. They don’t act on the bowels. They don’t bother with mere symptoms. They drive from the blood the cause of auaemia, indigestion, ner vous disorders, general weakness aud the troubles of growing girls and women. The pills are guaranteed to be free from opiates or harmful drngs. Sold by all druggists, or by the Dr. Williams Hedieiiie Company, Schenectady, N. Y. To Keep Cutlery From Rusting. ( Charcoal placed in the box where cutlery is kept will prevent rust. "" A Romance of the Xixth Century. Mr. Richard Watson Gilder’s “A Ro mance of the Nineteenth Century,” which will be a feature of the October Century, grew out of an inquiry, it is •aid, as to the direct references by Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Brown ing to each other in their poetry, w-ith x view to grouping such poems as might appropriately be classed with the “Sonnets From the Portuguese.” Mr. Gilder concluded that, on Mrs. Browning’s part would naturally ap pear In this connection, with the Portu guese Sonnets, the six lyrics, “Life and Love,” “A Denial,” "Proof and Dis proof," “Question and Answer,” “In ilusion” and “Insufficiency,” and on rs. Browning’s “One Word More,” ‘Prospice” and the passage beginning, ‘O Lyric Love” from “The Ring and the Book.” Teach Irish in Schools. The Irish language is now being iaught in 3,500 schools in Ireland. __ Interesting to Students. The schools and colleges are now ope* for the fall term, and there will be many self-reliant young men and women who will be looking for a good way to earn their expenses. The Four Track News, the great illustrated monthly magazine of travel and edu cation, appeals to intelligent readers, and students will find it easy to se cure subscriptions for it. The terms to persons soliciting subscriptions are extremely liberal, and offer a very gen erous margin of profit. It will pay any one interested to write to the pub lisher, George H. Daniels, 7 East 42d ■treet, New York, for full particulars. Had Found a N*w Pleasure. A new asphalt sidewalk had been laid in front of his home, and little Elmer was determined to walk upon it while it was still soft. His mother ex plained why he should not do so, but the temptation was too great, and at last he was brought in in disgrace. “Mamma,” sobbed Elmer, in disap pointment. “You don’t know how nice it is to walk out there; it’s just like chewing gum with your heels!”—The Housekeeper. Catching Tropical Fishea. In the Bermuda islands some of the gorgeous tropical fishes found in the clear waters of that group are caught for aquariums by the use of a long handled dipnet equipped with a per cussion cap. This cap is exploded by means of an electric storage bat tery, carried by the fisherman, if that name implies, who seeks out and stuns the finy beauties, when the fishes nose the cap about in their'curi osity He Had a Pedigree. A certain little girl became possess ed, all on one day, of a baby brother and a puppy. The puppy was of val uable collie stock. A week passed and the puppy had been named “Scott,' whlie the baby was still unnamed. The minister, happening to meet the little girl on the road one afternoon, asked her how it was that the puppy had a name and the baby had none “Why Scott has a pedigree ” said she NOTICED IT. A Young Lady from New Jersey Put Her Wits to Work. “Coffee gave me terrible spells oi indigestion which, coming on every week or so, made my life wretched until some one told me that the coffee I drank was to blame. That seemed nonsense, but I noticed these attacks i used to come on shortly after eating aad were accompanied by such ex cruciating pains In the pit of the stomach that I could only find re lief by loosening my clothing and lying down. “If circumstances made It Impos sible for me to lie down I spent hours in great misery. “I refused to really believe It was the coffee until finally I thought a trial would at least do no harm, so 1 Quit coffee in 1901 and began on Pos tum. My troubles left entirely and convinced me of the cause. “Postum brought no discomfort, nor did indigestion follow Its use. I have had no return of the trouble since I began to drink Postum. It has built me up, restored my health and given me a new Interest in life. It cer tainly is a joy to be well again.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. ( Read the little book, “The Road to | Wellville,” in tach pkg. c=; Ed P. Boyer of the Omaha Field club won the first annual golf champi onship of Nebraska, defeating a thir ty-six-hole match. Sergt. Clarence Orr of Newark, Ohio, champion American marksman, received an autograph letter from President Roosevelt congratulating him on his victory at Sea Girt. Yale university's hockey team will be coached by Hod Stuart of Calumet next season. He is considered to be the greatest hockey player in the world at his position, coverpoint. Martin J. Sheridan, the Irish-Ameri can all-around champion, broke the world's record for discus throwing, at New York. He threw the discus 143 feet* 4 inches, beating the world’s rec ord, which he held, of 133 feet 6% inches. In two weight events at the athletic games at Newport, R. I., the sixteen pound hammer and the fifty-six-pound hammer event Flanagan threw the weight 175 'feet, the present record being 172 feet 11 inches, which Flan agan made at Long Island City on July 31, 1904. Flanagan threw the fifty-six-pound w’eight 42 feet, the rec ord being 40 feet 2 inches, also made by him at Long Island City July 17, 1904. Baseball. The Cleveland club has drafted pitcher Eels, of the Kansas City Amer ican Association team, and he will re port to the club at the close of the American Association season. Joe Corbett, the former star pitcher, is preparing suits against Ned Han lon of the Brooklyn baseball club, the national commission, and Henry Har ris. alleging that he is illegally de prived of the right to earn a living, and also alleging injured reputation. George Tebeau, owner of the Louis ville, Ky., ball club and the most im portant magnate in the American As sociation, is now working out a plan for a new baseball league that will ri val the American and National or ganizations. Tebeau figures that there are now too many big and important cities in the east and west that are compelled to stay in minor leagues and that a third major league will thrive. The first world’s championship game will be played on Monday, Oct. 9. the day following the close of the season in both leagues and two days after it closes in the east. There will be no off days unless occasioned by bad weather, and a game will be played every day until the series is settled. Of course if a seventh game is necessary it will not be played on Sunday, Oct. 15, but on the following' day. If the two contestants are the Giants and the Athletics the games will he played alternately in New York and Philadelphia. The place for the first game will be determined by lot. If the lot falls to Philadelphia, the second game will be payed in New Yor, and so on until one team has won four games and is the world's champion. By this arrangement at least two games will be played in each city j ' Football. Notre Dame is ready for heavy foot ball. The men are in excellent condi tion after going through Coach Mc Glew’s routine of preliminary prac tice. At the end of the first week of train ing the prospects for a good team at Indiana University look rosy. The team has made great progress under Coach “Jimmy” Sheldon. After one week of solid practice the line on the Purdue football team for 1905 is well defined, and it now ap pears that the prospects are brighter than ever for a winning team. “Joe” Hunter, the former quarter back and captain of Northwestern University eleven, has been engaged by the High School Athletic Associa tion to coach the football eleven of rtockford, 111. The hopes of Minnesota are still far rrom being at fever heat, due to the fact that several good men counted upon by the coaches have not yet put in an appearance for training for the gopher team of 1905. The six months’ residence rule will wreak havoc with the Illini, as scarce ly any new material will be eligible. «iss Trainer Holland continues the good work he is doing by performing miracles, the eleven which will repre sent the purple will not average above 170 pounds. Yost now has at the camp seven “M” men. They are Center Schultz, Tackles Curtis and Graham, Ends Weeks and Clark, Quarter Norcross and Full Back Langman. Besides, he has of last year’s reserves Miller, a guard; Patrick, a half back; Work man, a half back, and Drysdaie, a tackle. Then he has Embs, Clement and Newton of the “All-Fresh” team and Kanaga, a member of the “gym” team. Boxing. Charles Neary of Milwaukee and Maurice Thompson of Butte fought twenty rounds to a draw in the Spo kane Amateur Athletic club. Both men were severely punished. Manager Nolan declares Nelson will rot give any weight to Jimmy Gard ner in order to meet that welterweight champion. He said he would box Gard ner if the latter would do the light weight limit, 133 pounds, but no 135. Kid Goodman, featherweight cham pior of New England, has asked the matchmakers of the Douglas Athletic Club of Chelsea, Mass., to match him with either Young Corbett or Harry Lewis of Philadelphia for any number of rounds. Batling Nelson's share of the gate receipts of the great battle between himself and James Edward Britt was $18,841.29. Britt’s part was $12,560.86. The promoters of the affair cleaned up $16,908.82. The total gate receipts were $48,311. After having cleaned up about all the loose money there was in the Klondike. “Philadelphia Jack” O'Brien left the fields of gold en route for Se attle, Wash., from whence he will journey to Portland, Ore., to visit the MATCH FOR JIMMY GARDNER. Manager Nolan has said the first man to be given a chance against the new champion. Nelson, will be the Lowell light weight, who has made a strong impression on fight followers on the Pacific coast. The difference in the weights of the men may be the barrier that will cause the match to fall through. At any rate, Nelson is not likely to turn his mind to thoughts of fighting for some time to come. exposition, after which he will travel through California until the spring. Mike (Twin) Sullivan of Boston and Joe Gans of Baltimore boxed fifteen rounds at Baltimore Sept. 15. Referee O’Hara called it a draw, but it would have been difficult to find a man in the large audience who agreed with him. Sullivan showed scarcely a mark, while Gans was badly battered up. Mike (Twin) Sullivan’s victory over Joe Gans removes the last lingering doubt as to Batling Nelson's right to the title of lightweight champion of the world. Referee O’Hara called the contest a draw after fifteen rounds of fast fighting, but it was evident to competent observers that Sullivan was the negro’s master. Eddie Graney replied to those sport ing critics who have found fault with his action in declaring off the bets on the Britt-Nelson fight which were made before he was selected to act as referee by saying that he had more than one reason for his action, the chief being that he had his own money bet on Nelson. While Jeffries was still supposed to be the referee Gra ney bet $1,250 to $2,000 on the Chi cago boy. When he was chosen as third man he felt compelled to call off the bets. PERCY BRUSH, FOOTBALL STAR. Minnesota’s football team is strength ened greatly by the presence of this big fellow. Brush is one of the strongest tackles among western col lege teams. An exception is Pinckney of Pontiac, who entered last winter and who is a leading candidate for half back. No hopes are entertained by North western University of defeating Chi cago or Minnesota, but a strong ef fort will be made to clean up the mi nor games. Unless unforeseen land slides of heavy men come in or un I Trotting. News comes from Honolulu of the death of The Fretter. a well-known race horse, which won the $10,000 Burns handicap in 1901. W. K. Vanderbilt's steam yacht Tar antula won from Howard Gould’s steam yacht Niagara IV. in a race over a forty mile course for a $5,000 purse on Long Island sound. Fifty thousand people attended the Indiana state fair races Sept. 13. The special feature was the attempt of Dan Patch to lower his own world's record of 1:56. He made the mile in 2:00%. He reduced the track record three-quarters of a second. At the grand circuit races at Syra cuse, N. Y., 20,000 persons witnessed \ Audubon Boy in the rain pace a mile without wind shield in 2:00Vi 1° an effort to break the track record of 1:59%. The first quarter -was made in 0:30%, the second in 0:29%, and the third in 0:29%. The Broncho, driven by Charles Dean of Palestine, 111., broke the Wis consin and the state fair records in the 2:06 pace, in which Hazel Patch, driven by J. W. Flack of Milwaukee, was the chief contender. The new track record of 2:03% was established in the third heat, when the little mare passed under the wire two lengths ahead of Hazel Patch without a whip. The time made in the heat equals the exhibition mile paced by ! Dan Patch on the same track a year j ago. 1 Map Of States Which have massed The A.u. u. Model Law With The \£ar of Its Adoption For many years there has been a never-ending, never conceding, never triumphing war between the world of fashion and the world ot serious thought. From the days when the stoics of ancient Rome strove to awaken the dissipated set of their day to the grim realities of life and of phil osophy down to the present busy era, in which the preachers in the pulpit try to arouse responsibility in the use of the enormous wealth of to-day and humane societies endeavor to protect the innocent wild things from the on slaught of eternally barbaric fashion there has existed this pitched battle of one-half of the world against the other half. Bishop Henry C. Potter wrote: “There is an element of savagery in the use of birds for personal decora tion which is in grotesque contrast with our boasts of civilization; but even the savage stops short, as a rule, with the feathers. It is only Christian people who think it worth while to butcher a whole bird to adorn their headgear. I am sure,however, that it is largely from that unreflecting habit which is a leading vice in people who follow the fashions. But it is a vice, as Hood sang when he wrote: “But evil is wrought by w-ant of thought As well as want of heart.’’ | Oliver Holmes, too, wrote once ot his hearty and eager sympathy with all and every one who tried to “pre vent the waste of these innocent, hap py, beautiful and useful lives on which we depend for a large share of our natural enjoyment.” But it was Charles Dudley Warner who made the aptest aphorism on the matter that has yet been printed. It is celebrated, hut can hardly be too often weighed, and it should have a pretty certain influence on the vain little heart of my lady: "A dead bird does not help the ap pearance of an ugly woman, and a pretty woman needs no such orna ment.”—Chicago Record-Herald. Greeley Peculiarities. Explorers Correct Statement. William Barnes, Sr., of Albany was a very old and intimate friend of Ho race Greeley. “Mr. Greeley,” said he the other day, “was peculiar in every relation of life except when he had a pen in his hand and a reform to write about. Then his head was level. “His wife was just as peculiar as he was. They had one son, Pickey. who died young. Mrs. Greeley never permitted the boy to eat flesh or to know that animals were killed for food. “Mrs. Greeley was as earnest a re former as Mr. Greeley, and as indiffer ent as he to the conventionalities of life. Mr. Greeley took me up to the I house once to dinner, and I noticed i the flour barrel standing in the front hall. There was a trail of flour from the place where it stood out into the kitchen. I thought perhaps it had just come in and they had not had time to move it. But, happening to pass it. I saw that it was nearly empty. The delivery man had set it down in the hall, and it had never occurred to either of them to move it into the kitchen.” A group of newspaper correspond ents at Portsmouth were arguing over the very formal and elaborate wording of diplomatic papers. They thought that too much care was given to this matter—that a plain statement al ways should suffice. But Mr. Sato, who had been listen ing quietly, now interrupted. “Plain statements suffice,” he said, “when it is no one’s interest to twist them about, to misinterpret them. Wills, legal documents and treaties must be more than plain statements. They must be iron-bound. And, when anyone attempts to impugn them, prompt and ready must be their de fense—as prompt and ready, say, as the defense of the famous African ex plorer. “This explorer was describing a har rowing adventure that had befallen him in the African wilds. “ ‘I peered into the jungle,’ he said, ‘and there before me lay a trunkless body.’ “‘Ah, what are you talking about?’ snarled a rival explorer. ‘Whoever heard of a trunkless body,’ “ ‘My friend,’ the first speaker an swered, calmly, ‘this body was that of an elephant. ” Demoralized. A Southern congressman, who has been spending some of the warm days at Atlantic City, told some of his friends that he was going home some what demoralized. "Yes, sirs,” said the lawmaker. "I am demoralized, and this reminds me of a story I picked up from Brother Swanson, who has been having a tough campaign in Virginia for governor. Swanson says that at the battle of Malvern Hill Gen. I^ee met a loose-jointed, angular sol dier—one of these fellows who looked like his limbs were made of long sap A Piece of Impiety. A clergyman was condemning a man who had refused to subscribe to a worthy charity. “I'll tell you something about that man,” he said, “which I had prom ised myself never to reveal. It w’as as nasty a piece of irreverence, I guess, as history records. ‘This fellow* once was impious enough to get rid of an unwelcome guest by using a prayer as a—ah—a bouncer. INTERIOR OF SUBMARINE BOAT The picture shows a French boat, and the French terms are easily translated even if you don’t know French. ling#, with an extra supply of knee and hip joints, like the fifth wheel of an artillery wagon in case of accident. “Where are you going, sir?’ asked the general. “ ‘I’m gwine back to the wagons, general,’ answered the long-legs. “‘Are you wounded?’ asked the commander. “‘No, sir; I hain’t wounded.’ “‘Are you sic.v?’ “ ‘No, I hain’t sick nor wounded, nuther. but I’m tegribly demoralized an’ I don’t think it is any fltten place for anybody.’ ’’ t Knew and Loved the Woods. A famous Adirondack guide, in the days when that mountain region was a true wilderness, has just died at the age of 95. William McLoughlin was in the Adirondacks when there were none but old Indian trails, and he and St. Regis Indians cut new ones as the region began to be vished. W. H. H. Murray knew him early and camped with him. Only a few years ago he said to a friend: “You would suppose from the newspaper letters that there was not a spot in the big woods that civilization has not spoil ed, but old Bill McLoughlin can take you and me to pretty good fragments of the old wilds.” “The guest, it seems, had over stayed his time—had been invited for a week, remained a fortnight, and showed a disposition to continue on a month. It was aggravating, I admit. But to bounce him with a prayer! Well! “That, though, is what the man did. At the end of the second week he concluded the usual morning exhorta tion with this sentence: “ ‘And, Lord, bless, we beseech Thee, Brother Jonathan Sharp, who leaves by the 3 o’clock train this af ternoon.” Why We’re Right Handed, “Our mothers make us right hand ed,” said a young man. “They do it in our infancy. “How does a mother carry her baby? On her right arm, eh? Now putting yourself in that baby’s place, which hand and arm have you got free? The right, of course. “Babies as they are carried about have the lef arm and hand cramped up and the right arm and hand free to swing about, to strike with, to scratch with and to do everything with. “Therefore it is natural for all child ren to grow up right handed.” Two Famous English Sportsmen. j Earl De Grey is counted the best ! all-around shot in England, having accounted fcr more game than any 1 other livi-'g sportsman. In his twenty nine ytars’ experience he has bagged t,. 'j head. In Ireland on one occa sion he is said to have brought down ] sixteen wild geese with two barrels, i Another famous shot is Lord Wals ingham, who in one day, with the ex penditure of 1,100 cartridges, brought j down 42i brace of grouse. j Sad Face of England’s Queen. The queen of England is 60 years old, but they say she does not look more than 30. She is described by an American lady who saw her recently for the first time as “very sweet-look ing, rather tall, but awfully thin, with babv blue eyes, mahogany hair. 1 eau tifuily coiffured. She has the saddest fact I have ever seen and when she smiled she looked as though she want /'rv instead.” A DESPAIRING WOMAN. Weak, Nervous and Wretched from Wasting Kidney Troubles. Mrs. Henry A. Reamer, Main and Garst sts., South Bend, Ind., says: When I began using Doan's Kidney Pills I was so weak I could hardly drag myself across the room. I was wretched and . nervous, and had ' backache, bear ing-down pain, headache, dizzi ness and weak * eyes, uropsy set In and bloating1 of the chest choked me and threatened the heart. I had little hope, but to my untold surprise, Doan’s Kidney Pills brought me relief and saved my life. I shall never for get it.” Sold by dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo. N. Y. Gossip Going Out. It is no longer considered good form to say a word against any one. An ill-natured criticism is a social blun der. Gossip, too, is really going out of fashion. True wit is a gift, not an attainment. Those who use it aright never yield to the temptation of say ing anything that can wound another in order to exhibit their own clever ness.—Exchange. Decidedly New. The servant handed Mr. Highmore a letter. It was from Harold, the eldest son, who was at college. "Anything new in it?” asked Mrs. Highmore. “Yes,” said the father of the family, in an agitated voice, as he glanced over the letter. He doesn’t ask me for any money this time.” A Metropolitan Market. It has many stories. Men fail and men win here. It requires good com mon sense and an interest in the sub ject to win. One man told me that he got to his place early and thought of nothing but his business during the day.—Earl M. Pratt. Cured Her Rheumatism. Deep Valley, Pa., Oct. 2d.— (Spe cial.)—There is deep interest in Green county over the cure of the little daughter of I. N. Whipkey of Rheuma tism. She was a great sufferer for five or six years and nothing seemed to do her any good till she tried Dodd’s Kidney Pills. She began to improve almost at once and now she is cured and can run and play as other children do. Mr. WTiipkey says: “I am indeed thankful for what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my daughter; they saved her from being a cripple perhaps for life.” Dodd’s Kidney Pills have proved that Rheumatism is one of the results of diseased Kidneys. Rhenmatism is caused by Uric Acid in the blood. If the Kidneys are right there can be no Uric Acid in the blood and conse quently no Rheumatism. Dodd’s Kid ney Pills make the Kidneys right There is something peculiar about the man who takes i«o interest in baseball. He may be a person of su perior intelligence. BABY ONE SOLID SORE. __________ # Could Not Shut Eyes to Sleep—Spent $100 on Doctors—Baby Grew Worse—Cured by Cuticura for $5. "A scab formed on my baby’s face, spreading until it completely covered her from head to foot, followed by boils, having forty on her head at one time, and more on her body. Then her skin started to dry up and It be came so bad she could not shut her eyes to sleep. One month’s treatment with Cuticura Soap and Ointment made a complete cure. Doctors and medicines had cost over $100, with baby growing worse. Then we spent less than $5 for Cuticura and cured her. (Signed) Mrs. G. H. Tucker, Jr., 335 Greenfield Ave., Milwaukee, Wig.” Poor humanity; the mother does not know half the time where the chil dren are, and they do not know where she is the other half. Medicines Have Stood Test of Time. “The leading proprietary medicines that have stood the test of time are of known therapeutic value,” saya a medical authority. “They are prepar ed in laboratories of the highest grade, under the care of skilled phar macists, and they are made from ap proved formulas which, in many in stances, have been the especial pride and specific of some successful physi cian. They have been tried In the crucible of public opinion and they have been found satisfactory by the people, for otherwise the people would discontinue using them."
