TORTURED WITH GRAVEL. Since Using Doan’s Kidney Pills Not ^y a Single Stone Has Formed. Capt. S. L. Crute. Adjt. Wm. Watts Camp, U. C. V., Roanoke, Va„ says: x auuricu a lung, long time with my back, and felt draggy and list less and tired all the time. I lost from my usual weight, 225, to 170. Urinary pas sages were too frequent and 1 have had to get up often at night. I had headaches auu ui/iZ-v apcua ttiau, uui uij nuioi suffering was from renal colic. After 1 began using Doan’s Kidney Pills I passed a gravel stone as big as a bean.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. JAP YOUTH ON SCHOOLSHIP. Will Get Thorough Training on an American Boat. The first Japanese youth to be ad mitted to the crew of the schoolship St. Mary’s is Katzern Artyoshi. Art yoshi, who is 17 years old, has been in the revenue cutter service on the Pacific for the last three years. As it is necessary for all foreigners who wish to become members of the schoolship’s crew to have a guardian, Artyoshi was forced to get one before A he could be admitted to the crew. He succeeded in getting Capt. Osborn tc act in that capacity. Capt. Osborn will coach the bey along and help him over the hard points in his lessons. Artyoshi has not made up his mind yet whether he will remain in this country or go home to Japan after he has been graduated from the school ship. A term on the schoolship fits a boy for service in the merchant ma rine. Artyoshi says he likes the I'nited States and may stay here, but if Japan ever goes to war he will re turn home quickly as possible to takfl part in it. ELEVEN YEARS OK ECZEMA. Hands Cracked and Bleeding—Nail Came Off of Finger—Cuticura Rem edies Brought Prompt Relief. ”1 had eczema on my hands for about eleven years. The hands crack ed open in many places and bled. One of my fingers was so bad that the nail came off. I had often heard of cures by the Cuticura Remedies, but had no confidence in them as 1 had tried so man}’ remedies, and they all had failed to cure me. I had seen three doctors, but got no relief. Final ly my husband said thaf we would try the Cuticura Remedies, so we got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment, and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. Of course I keep Cuticura Soap all the time for my hands, but the one cake of Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment , cured them. It is surely a blessing for me to have my hands well, and I am very proud of having tried Cuti cura Remedies, and recommend them to all suffering with eczema. Mrs. Eliza A. Wiley, R. F. D.

While the Bank of England makes it a point never under any circum stances to relinquish the prosecution of those who have defrauded it in the slightest degree, being willing, if need be, to spend thousands of pounds to capture and prosecute people who have robbed it of even a few shillings, the Rothschilds make it a rule never to appeal*to the courts or to the police in such matters. Of course, they are, like every other banker, occasionally the victims of dishonesty, but neither the police nor the public ever hear about the matter. This has always been a principle of the heads of the house, who take the ground that it is better to bear the loss in silence than to disturb popular confidence in the safety of the concern by allowing it to be seen that its treasures are not adequately safeguarded. Horses Still In Demand. Happily the horse has a faculty for upsetting the gloomy predictions that he is fated to be put out of business by the automobile. The horse business has kept right on developing in spite of the fact that the automobile indus try has been engaged in similar un dertaking. The demand for horses is still great. The supply of some classes of them is inadequate. The a prices are high. The automobile may scare the horse into the ditch, but it isn't likely to crowd him to the wall. There will always be a field for the horse, as there will always be a field for the automobile.—Hartford Times. POSTUM CEREAL CO., LTD. Guarantee On Their Products.

We have always since the beginning of our business, printed a truthful statement on tns packages of the Ingredients contained therein and we atand back of svery package. When it came to the point tit ac tually carrying out his intentions on that wonderful May afternoon, Mr. J. Spencer Parker seemed to accomplish no more than a hunting dog chasing a rabbit in the tall rye, continually jumping up and down and never get ting anywhere. A dozen times he walked resolutely toward the brass door-knob of 1316, and as many times he concluded to saunter languidly past, as if he had no other reason for appearing in that neighborhood than simply to sun himself- But finally he summond up courage enough to pull the bell-knob, and an Imitation cow-bell tinkled in the back of the house. “J. Spencer Parker, upon my word!” exclaimed the middle-aged woman who came to the door. "And pray what bring3 you here to-day?” She spoke in a sweet, musica. tone, in pleasing harmony with the diffi dent demeanor of her guest, whose every motion was quiet and respect able, and whose voice sounded strange ly like hers, as he replied: “Just vis iting, ma'am. 1 wished to pay you my regards, Mrs. Simpson, and t.o con gratulate you upon Mr. Watkins, who is coming to board with you.” “Congratulate me!” cried Mrs. Simpson. "Why, 1 am indeed delight ed to hear that. Do you know, I have never seen him yet?” "Yes?” The look in Mr. Parker's eyes was far away as he replied, and his body bent forward attentively, “I have known Mr. Watkins—Jeremiah Watkins, ma'am—from a boy. 1 am glad he is come to such a home as yours.” “Indeed, you please me, Mr. Parker,” returned Mrs. Simpson. "I stall be especially happy to tell our boarders what sort of person they may ex pect.” Mr. Parker gave n sudden start, but carefully recovered himself. “Ah,” he said, “that's what I came to tei! you of.” indeed: “Yes, Mr. Watkins Is a—a—a gen tleman.” Again the courteous speaker leaned forward as he spoke, struggling awk wardly for the next word—“but I want you to know that he is a—a gentle man." “Ah!” returned Mrs. Simpson, with ready intuition. “Then he is perhaps eccentric?” “Not exactly,” replied Mr. Parker, thoughtfully and sweetly, “but he looks, let me say, he looks rougher than he is.” “But he is—” “Yes,” said Mr. Parker. "He Is a gentleman.” Half an hour later the door closed softly, and J. Spencer Parker came down the front steps of 1316, at first smiling, and then sadly, walking with slow, unsteady step. As he passed by the little corner grocery store, he paused and smote himself pathetically on the breast. “Liar!” he said, groaning. “Liar! And yet—it had to be done. God forgive me!” Anyone who had happened to see Mr. Parker’s friend, Mr. Jeremy Wat kins, on the next day, when he came with his trunks to 1316, might have been excused for cherishing the sus picion that he was not exactly a Beau Brummel or a Lord Chesterfield. He cursed the baggage man for letting his trunk fall roughly to the ground, and quarreled with him over his fee; and, to further give vent to his feel ings, he strode to the door and gave the bell knob a vicious jerk. There was not a look on his face or a ges ture of his body that did not reveal him a coarse, ill-mannered young man, properly of the stable, rather than the house. His square, rough face, with its loose mouth and broad nose, his burly shoulders and big hands, and his clothing, inviolate with re spect to any previous contact with the whisk broom, bespoke a vulgarity of person that he did not attempt to con ceal. It seemed almost impossible that he should be a friend or acquaint ance of such a person as J. Spencer Parker. Mrs. Simpson, radiant, sweet and fresh, appeared at the door, and gazed at him for a moment. Then, seeing his trunks, she extended her hand and said: “Mr. Watkins, I suppose?” “Yes.” J. Watkins was on the point of asking her who in h—i she thought he was, with two trunks right there before her eyes; but something in her ladylike manner evidently different from what he had been accustomed to, checked him. “1 am so glad to see yon,” she went on. “So glad to know that we are to have you here. We are almost like a family here, and so you can Imagine how much 1 was pleased to learn that our new lodger was a cul tivated gentleman.” Watkins flushed angrily, supposing that she was making sport of him, but one glance at her frank. Ingenuous face convinced him of her sincerity. "Some one must have been here—" he stammered, uncomfortably, “telling you about me.” “Yes,” replied Mrs. Simpson, “Mr. Parker was here yesterday. He thinks highly of you." Again the surging suspicion that Mrs. Simpson was mocking him—and again the sweet and straightforward look from her. “I have known him a number of years, ma’am,” replied Watkins. In a subdued voice. "So he said,” returned Mrs. Simp son, “and it is indeed delightful that those who know one well can speak so well of him. But come—your trunks must be taken care of. I will call our man.” The man came—a wizened man, whose face was wrinkled into a con stant smile; and as he bustled about, assisting Watkins with the trunks, he talked pleasantly and respectfully. “You will be pleased here, sir,” he said, as they stopped, panting, at the top of the stairs. “If I do say it myself, there are no more genUeman > ly or lady-llke people in the world, I than at I3l«.” Watkins, who had been just on the point of cursing the man roundly for dropping the trunk on his foot at the top landing, contented himself with blaspheming inwardly instead. At dinner there was a general hush when he entered the room, and he was introduced to the lodgers, one by one. A sweet looking girl sat next him, who said: "It will be so delightful to have you here, Mr. Watkins. Mr. Parker, who called here yesterday, tells us that you spent two summers in Europe.” Memories of rough debauches in London and Paris and feverish gam bling at Monte Carlo came flooding to his brain. His only subjects of conversation, in regard to European travel, heretofore, had been coarse ones. But now, coloring, he spoke &r Mr. Watkins. of Notre Dame and the Louvre; of St. Paul’s and Windsor. The unaccount i able influence of this slight creature - beside him, brought to his memory j scenes of beauty and interest that he ' had looked on only in passing, and had long forgotten. He talked with out roughness, and even found him self thanking the waitress for things she passed him. He felt pleasantly uncomfortable. He walked that evening with two ' of his fellow lodgers, for a little exer cise before retiring. One of them was the young lady whom he had sat next to at dinner. The other was a young lawyer who occupied the room next to his in the hall. Their talk was wholesome and happy. They asked him about his home and his business, not as curiosity seekers or idlers, but as people sincerely inter ested in him. They never talked of themselves; but answered his ques tions frankly. When he returned to his room there was a flower on his bureau. The gas was burning low. The windows were slightly opened, and the fresh, pure air surrounded him. He found a pitch er of cool water at hand, and a glass stood near it. Presently. Mrs. Simp son knocked at his doOr. “It occurred to me,” she said, sweetly, “that you might not yet have unpacked your books.” Watkins looked apprehensively at the cheap, trashy literature that adorned his shelves. "N—no.” be said slowly. “I haven't." “If you would like to use any of our books, just go down into the library and help yourself. You need not bother to return them to their places, if you get interested. Just leave them here In your room." Upon the following Sunday one of the neighbors met Mr. Watkins in front of 1316. “I suppose this Is Mr. Watkins," he said, cordially offering his hand, “1 am indeed glad to meet you. for 1 have heard of you from your friends Come up to-morrow to 1324, three doors up, and have dinner. We shah be glad to add another gentleman to our list of acquaintances.” And so time passed, until one bright day, three months later, there came again to 1316 Mr. J. Spencer Parker. He pulled the door knob with some trepidation, and heard again the faint tiu*le of the imita tion cowbell in thy rear. He talked again to the middli^aged, delightfully beautiful woman upo answered his call. He left aga!,; in about half aD hour. But this ij_ne, as he passed the little grocery u*pre on the corner he was seen to sHp himself enthusias tically on the log and to smile ra diantly. SENATOR HAD DATES MIXED. * ' Why Missouri Statesman Was Late at Cabinet Dinner, Ex-Senator Cockrell probably is the only man in Washington who ever kept Presidtent Roosevelt waiting at a dinner. It was one of the cabinet dinners ■ that were given by the sec retary of the interior and Mrs. Hitch cock three years ago. The president ■ and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived in due time, as did all the other guests ex cept Senator Cockrell. After a delay of almost an hour Mrs. Hitchcock invited her guests to the dining-room and dispatched a messenger to the residence of Sena tor Cockrell to make inquiries. Great fear wan felt that the Missourian had started and had fallen by the way, as the day was a cold and wintry one. The fact was, however, that the sen ator was sitting quietly at home when the messenger got there, clad in his dressing gown and slippers and con gratulating himself that he jould bs Indoors. He had put the date of tht dinner in his calendar in large and attractive handwriting, but had for gotten to turn a leaf and was, ae cordingly, a day behind time. No one appreciated the joke more than did the president, and the dinner that be gan in anxiety and apprehension end ed In a big laugh at the dear old sen ■tor.—Denver Time*. THE PROGRESS OF THE CANA DIAN WEST. — Nearly 200,C00 of an Increase In Cana da’s Immigration in 190S. The progress of a new country can not be better ascertained than by not ing the increase of railroad mileage in its transportation system', and, judged by this standard, the Canadian West leads all the countries in the world during the current year. Thirty years ago »here was not one hundred miles of railroad west of the Great Lakes, and very little prospect of a trans continental route for many years to come, but by the end of 1885 the Canadian Pacific Railway was within measurable distance of completion, and last year—twenty years later— over 6,000 miles of railroad traversed the provinces of Manitoba, Sas katchewan and Alberta. In the past year the work of rail road construction has been vigorously prosecuted, and by the end of 1906, some 5,000 miles of completed railroad has been added, making a total of fully 11,000 miles in the three great grain producing provinces of Canada. Such an increase in the transportation facilities of the country is bound to make good times not only in the dis tricts where the railroads are being built, but throughout the entire west. Allowing $20,000 a mile for construc tion, the sum of $100,000,000 will be put in circulation, and this in itself should cause good times to prevail in a land where work is plentiful, wages are high, and the cost of living is mod erate. But the building of new railroads through Western Canada means a greater benefit to the country than merely the money put in circulation by the cost of construction. Addition al railway building moans the opening of new agricultural districts and an additional area under crops; a largely increased output of grain to foreign markets with consequent financial re turns; the erection of elevators and the growth of villages, towns and cit ies; and everything else that makes for the progress of national life, and the opening up of additional thousands of free homesteads, so extensively ad vertised by the Canadian government agent, whose address appears else where. it was stated on me noor oi tne Canadian Parliament recently by a prominent representative that ten years from now would see the bulk of the population of Canada residing west of the Great Lakes, and if the work of railway building during the present year is any criterion, the prophecy made by the Canadian states man may be easily fulfilled inside of the time stated. During the present year no less than 189,064 persons have found homes in the Canadian west, of whom 57,796 were Americans who have seen the great possibilities of this new West, and have decided to cast in their lot with it. Certainly, our neighbor north of the 49th parallel is making a great record, and deserves the success that appears to be coming its way. Monarchs as Linguists. Monarchs must know more than one language. King Edward, who trav eled so much, speaks French better than some Frenchmen, and also Ger man. The czar of Russia speaks French as well as his native tongue and knows the numerous dialects. Emperor William of Germany speaks French and English correctly, and is also well versed in Latin. The king of Spain, the youngest of all, speaks German with ease and also French and English. Because of his marriage he now practices the latter. The king of Portugal speaks French, English. German and Spanish. The king of Italy is a master of French and Ger man and is also well versed in the va rious Italian dialects. No Advance in Wisdom. Mark Twain tells how four years ago he was invited by the University of Missouri to go out there and receive the degree of LL. D. At the same time he visited Hannibal, his boyhood home. Just as he was about to leave, being accompanied to the station by a crowd of citizens, Tom Nash, a school fellow, came up—white headed, but still a hoy. He shook hands with his friend cf many a year and nodding toward the crowd said: “People of this town are the same blamed fools they always were, ain’t they, Sam?’’ Somewhat Embarrassing Gift. Dr. W. G. Grace, the famous English cricketer, has been the recipient of many gifts from lovers of cricket as tangible proofs of their admiration of his prowess. Some of them have been remarkable in character, but perhaps the most embarrassing gift he ever received was one of three young pigs which a Worcestershire farmer sent to him in recognition of a great bat ting feat which he had witnessed. CRIED EASILY. Nervous Woman Stopped Coffee and Quit Other Things. No better practical proof that coffee is a drug can be required than to note how the nerves become unstrung in women who habitually drink it. The stomach, too, rebels at being continually drugged with coffee and tea—they both contain the drug— caffeine. Ask your doctor. An la. woman tells the old story thus: "I had used‘coffee for sis years and was troubled with headaches, nervous ness and dizziness. In the morning upon rising I used to belch up a sour fluid regularly. ( "Often I got so nervous and miser able I would cry without the least rea son, and I noticed my eyesight was getting poor. “After using Postum a while, I ob served the headaches left me and soon the belching of sour fluid stopped (wa ter brash from dyspepsia). I feel de cidedly different now, and I am con vinced that it is because I stopped coffee and began to use Postum. I can see better now, my eyes are stronger. “A friend of mine did not like Postum but when I told her to make it like it said on the package, she liked it all right.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Always boil. Postum well and it will surprise you. Read the little book. “The Road to ' Wellville” in pkga. “There’s a rea son.” W , Prominent on Lecture Platform. Senator Tillman probably earns more money every year on the lecture platform than any otheir American who talks to the public for pay. From an authoritative source the statement comes that the South Carolinian’s net proceeds thus far this year from his lecture tour are $25,000. Senator Till man is paid from $250 to $500 a lec ture and he is constantly in demand. His season is not confined to the sum mery Chautauqua course and he fills nearly as many dates in the winter as at any other time of the year. In the last four years it is said that he has laid aside over $60,000 from his lecture receipts. Henry Watterson perhaps comes next in the matter of earnings on the platform. Champ Clark, of Missouri, ranks high as a popular favorite and makes about twice as much as a lecturer as his con gressional salary. Keep Your Blood Pure. No one can be happy, light-hearted and healthy with a body full o| blood that cannot do its duty to every part because of its impurity; therefore, the first and most important work in hand is to purify the blood so that every organ will get the full benefit of a healthy circulation. There is no rem edy so good as that old family rem edy, Brandreth’s Pills. Each pill con tains one grain of the solid extract of sarsaparilla blended with two grains of a combination of pure and mild vegetable products, making it a blood purifier unexcelled in character. One or two taken every night for awhile will produce surprising results. Brandreth’s Pills have been in use for over a century, and are for sale everywhere, plain or sugar-coated. Chinese Superior to Japs. Discussing the little rumpus with Japan, Senator William A. Clark ex presses the opinion the Chinese in this country are superior to the Jap anese. ‘‘I have loaned thousands of dollars to Chinamen,” said the sena tor, ‘‘and never have I known one to fail to meet his obligations.” He em phasized his opinion as to the superior ity of the Chinamen by calling atten tion to the fact that the Japanese in their banking institutions employ Chinamen in positions of trust, in preference to their own countrymen. Water on a Battleship. As many as 8,000 gallons of fresh water are used in a large battleship daily. About two-thirds of this is taken up by the boilers, and the re mainder is used for drinking, washing, cooking, etc. When the store which she has taken out with her from port has been used up, a vessel has to de pend upon her condensers for further supplies. Every modern warship is fitted with evaporating machinery to distil the salt sea-water. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beau ty. Home laundering would be equal ly satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Insist on Insularity. The people of Cornwall's coast ob ject to the Great Western Railway company applying foreign names to their climate and scenery. One adver tisement called a certain locality the "English Riviera,” and a Cornishman at a meeting of protest the other night said Cornwall had ‘‘nothing to gain by being called after something in the south of France or a dirty lit tle Italian town.” $130 Reward, $100.
