LIEUTENANT BOWMAN. ! IH FORTY-EIGHT HOIS f[-m CUBED HUH Cold Affected Head and Throat Attack was Severe. Chas. W. Bowman, 1st Lieut, and Adjt. 4tli M. S. M. Cav. Vols.. writes from Lanham, Aid., as follows: “Though somewhat averse to pat ent medicines, and still more averse to becoming a professional affidavit man, it seems only a plain duty in s the present instance to add my ex . * perience to the columns already writ ten concerning the curative powers of Peruna. * ‘I have been particularly benefited by its use for colds in the head and throat. I have been able to fully cure myself of a most severe attack in forty-eight hours by Its use according ^ to directions. I use it as a preventive 1 whenever threatened with an attack. “Members of my family also use it Tor like ailments. We are recom mending it to our friends.” —Chas. W. Bowman.

The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great Im portance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiff ener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. SAVES HER VISITING CARDS. On# Woman’s Pet Economy Certainly a Queer One. Women are proverbially niggardly on one or two points; every woman that ever existed had some pet econo my, no matter how extravagant she may be in some respects. There'# ihe woman who spends hundreds of dollars on imported gowns, but hates to give up one penny for a paper of pins. The paper-saving person who > drops into department stores and ho V tels to borrow stationery rather than spend any money upon the commodity always is with is; we all know the stamp stealer aid the match borrow er; but the visiting-card economizer is a new brand of woman who exists only in the most exclusive society. So niggardly is she on the point of (her visiting cards that she demands them back from her intimate friends; from her mere acquaintances she steals them at an opportune moment when the servant's back is turned, or when the mistress has left the room. She puts them slyly back into her card case. By a clever series of ma nipulations It is said she can make 100 of them go as far as 500 went be fore. THE FIRST TWINGE Of Rheumatism Calls for Or. Williams’ Pink Pills If You Would Be Easily Cured. Mr. Frank Little, a well known clti J ten of Portland, Ionia Co., Mich., was y cured of a severe case of rheumatism by l)r. Williams’ Pink Pills. In speak ing about ii recently, be said: "My body was run down and in no condi tion to withstand disease and about five years ago I began to feel rheu matic pains in my arms asid across my back. My arms and legs grew numb and the rheumatism seemed to settle in every joint so that I could hardly move, while my arms were useless at times. I was unable to sleep or rest well and my heart pain ed me so terribly I could hardly stand it My stomach became sour and bloated after eating and this grew . so bad that I had inflammation of the stomach. I was extremely nerv ous and could not bear the least noise or excitement One whole side of my body became paralyzed. "As I said before, I had been suff ering about five years and seemed to be able to get no relief from my doctors, when a friend here in Port ia land told me how Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had cured him of neuralgia in the face, even after the pain had drawn it to one side. I decided to try the pills and began to see some improvement soon after using them. This encouraged me to keep on until I was entirely cured. I have never M had a return of the rheumatism or of ' the paralysis. The pills are for sale by all drug gists or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Mediclna Company. Schenectady, N. Y. _ ‘‘A few days ago,” said a man, “I read a good little newspaper story of how one of the largest Atlantic liners was held a moment at her pier in New York for a baby's kiss. "The father, who was to sail for Europe, saw the child’s outstretched arms, rushed down the gang plank, gave the little one a hug and a kiss and would have missed getting aboard if the men at the tackles had not held the plank suspended for him while you could count ten. The story,” continued the man, smiling, “remind ed me of the holding of a steamship, for three-quarters of an hour for one' steerage passenger. “It was about the time of the Charleston earthquake. In those days you went to Charleston from New York by the vessels of the old Charles ton line, and from there to Jackson ville, Fla., and landings on the St. 'John’s river as far up as Palatka by a trim little steamship, the City of Palatka. Capt. Leo Vogel was her master. “He was at sea with his vessel o£ Charleston when that city was partly wrecked by earthquake. At that sea son of the year, when some of the regular boats were laid off for their summer repairs, the City of Palatka' made the entire trip to New York, calling at Charleston each way. When he arrived at New York just after the earthquake Capt. Vogel gave a re I>orter 'an interesting story of how the earthquake affected his vessel at sea. "The City of Palatka, by the way, was perhaps the only steamship ot her time that made part of her regular trip through four or five feet of mud. This she did every time she crossed the bar in the narrows of the St. John’s river just below Palatka. "She was sold eventually for use on the Pacific side, went around the Horn and was burned a few years later at some port, I think, on Puget Sound. Capt. Vogel afterward was with the Clyde line as pilot for all their Florida steamships over the dan gerous St. John's river bar at May i>ort. By hustling back by rail from Charleston to Jacksonville and vice versa he managed to pilot every steamship in the service in those days across the bar going in and coming out. "Well, to get back to my story, one afternoon when the City of Palatka, bound up the river, came along to the Green Cove Spring landing, forty-five miles north of Palatka a typical Cracker from back in the pine woods, carrying a black oilcloth satchel, started to board the vessel. On being asked where he was going he allowed he was bound for ‘York.’ "He had been told, he said, tHat (be ship would not make the Green Cove Spring landing on coming down the next morning and he reckoned he had .better get aboard now. “Capt. Vogel overheard the talk and said to the Cracker: “ ‘The City of Palatka will be at this landing on her way to New York at 8 o’clock to-morrow morning. Be here then, and you will get aboard all right.” “ 'But maybe you’ll get here and go on before that, and I won't git to York,’ said the Cracker. “ ‘You be here at 8 o’clock,’ said the captain, 'and you won’t get left.’ "The next morning at about 7 o’clock the City of Palatka rounded the channel beacon off Green Cove Spring, and in fifteen minutes was alongside the landing. The Cracker passenger was not among those wait ing on the pier. "He had not shown up when every body and everything else that was going north was aboard. Then began a roaring of the ship's steam gong that resounded through the pine woods and woke up the owls in the water oaks along shore. "For forty-five minutes the steam ship lay at the pier and kept her gong sounding. The passengers, many of them well to do Northerners hound up from their winter homes, began to talk as to the cause of the delay. "One explanation had it that Pierre Ijorillard had telegraphed from down the river, offering a large sum to have the vessel held till he could come up in his steam yacht and take passage for New York “At about three minutes before S o'clock there was seen coming leisure ly down the pier a two wheeleu cart drawn by a gray mule. On the bot tom boards of the cart, with her back toward the mule, sat a Cracker wo man in a calico gown and a checkered gingham sunbonnet, and with her feet hanging over the rear of the cart. "In the cart was a black oilcloth satchel and astride the gray mule w as a Cracker man. At the head of the pier he leisurely alighted, took the satchel from the cart and said, 'Good by, Mandy,’ to his wife. "As he was going up the gangplank with his big silver watch in his hand he spied Capt. Vogel, who had been walking the bridge for more than hall an hour with an untranslatable look in his face, and hailed him with: “ ‘Mornin’, Cap. Jest 8 o’clock Maybe you reckoned I’d disappoint you, but here I am, right on time Let her go.’ “ ‘Yes,’ said V’ogel, ‘you're on the minute.’ "Throughout the voyage to New York the Cracker was known and pointed out down in the steerage as the man who held the steamship three-quarters of an hour, and the dis tinction seemed to please him.” An Urbane English Opinion. Woman is less civilized than man because she is more emotional. Phys ical conditions account for the greater emotionalism of woman, and since, as Xar as we are aware, nothing can altei those physical conditions, woman must always be less civilized than man.—Hearth and Home.

Vitality Sapped by Years of Suffering with Kidney Trouble. Capt. J. W. Hogun, former postmas ter of Indianola, now living at Austin, Tex., writes: “I was amiciea ror years with pains across the loins and In the hips and shoulders. I had headache also and neural gia. My right eye, from pain, was of little use to me for years. The constant now of urine kept my system depleted, causing nervous chills and night sweats. After trying seven different climates and using all kinds of medicine I had the good for tune to hear of Doan’s Kidney Pills. This remedy has cured me. I am as well to-day as I was twenty years ago, and my eyesight is perfect.” Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co.. Buffalo, X. Y. Origin of Starch. The art of starching was not intro duced into England until the ingenu ity of Dutch women in starching ruffs induced Queen Elizabeth to turn to them when she took to wearing cam bric and linen cuffs. In 1504 Mistress Dinghein von den Plasse, the refugee daughter of a Flemish knight, came with her husband to London, accord ing to an old writer, and set up an es tablishment for starching, where she not only plied her trade, but instruct ed English classes in her art. SCALY ERUPTION ON BODY. Doctors and Remedies Fruitless—Suf fered 10 Years — Completely Cured by Cuticura. “When I was about nine years old small sores appeared on each of my lower limbs. 1 scratched them with a brass pin and shortly afterwards both of those limbs became so sore that I I could scarcely walk. When I had been suffering for about a month the sores began to heal, but small scaly eruptions appeared where the sores had been. From that time on ward I was troubled by such severe itching that, until I became accus tomed to it, I would scratch the sores until the blood began to flow. This I would stop the itching for a few ! days, but scaly places would appear again and the itching would accom pany them. After I suffered about ten years I made a renewed effort to effect a cure. The eruptions by this time had appeared on every part of my body except my face and hands. , The best doctors in my native coun ' ty advised me to use arsenic in small doses and a salve. 1 then used to i bathe the sores in a mixture which gave almost intolerable pain. In ad dition I used other remedies, such as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, -"s Salve, - Ointment, and in fact I , was continually giving some remedy • a fair trial, never using less than i one or two boxes or bottles. All ! this was fruitless. Finally my- hair began to fall out and I was rapidly becoming bald. I used -"s -. but it did no good. A few months after, having used almost everything else, I thought I would try Cuticura Ointment, having previously used Cuticura Soap and being pleased with it. After using three boxes I was completely cured, and my hair was restored, after fourteen years of suf fering and an expenditure of at least $50 or $60 in vainly endeavoring to find a cure. I shall be glad to write to any one who may be interested in my cure. n. Hiram Mattingly, Ver million, S. Dak., Aug. 18, 1906.” HEADS SHAPED TO ORDER. German Doctor Explains Causes of Various Formations. At a recent convention of German naturalists and doctors Dr. Walcher, of Stuttgart, in an instructive paper put forth a sensational theory to ex plain the formation of the shape of the head of infants. He maintained that the head of a child could be molded artificially. He found by ex perience that when a medium-shaped head Is placed in a soft cushion the child turns on its back, or rests on the back of its head, in order to free mouth, nose and face. In this manner the head rests smoothly, and a short head Is developed. But if the medium shaped head of a child is placed on a hard under-rest, like a hair mattress or rolled carpet, the child’s head turns aside, as it cannot stand any more on its head than an egg. for the muscle of the back is weakened. Therefore, with continued resting on the side a long head is developed. To prove his assertions the lecturer pre sented a child whose mother and sis ter are short-headed. The child at its birth had a short head, now after 18 months it Is long skulled. If the chi'ri had been placed on its back, according to other experiences its head would have been short-shaped. Dr. Walcher did not deny that the shape of the head was inherited, but asserted that it could be greatly influenced by the way the child rested. COSTLY PRESSURE. Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee. _ A resident of a great western state puts the case regarding stimulants with a comprehensive brevity that is admirable. He says: “I am 56 years old and have had con siderable experience with stimulants. They are all alike—a mortgage on re served energy at ruinous interest. As the whip stimulates but does not strengthen the horse, so do stimulants act upon the human system. Feeling this way, I gave up coffee and all other stimulants and began the use of Postum Food coffee some months ago. The beneficial results have been ap parent from the first. The rheumatism that I used to suffer from has left me. I sleep sounder, my nerves are stead ier and my brain clearer. And I bear testimony also to the food value of Postum—something that is luckfcig in coffee.” Kame given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There’s a reason.

Always to Be Depended Upon. When a person gets up in the morn ing with a dull headache and a tired, stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain indication that, the liver, or bowels, or both, are decidedly out of order. At such times Nature, the wisest and best of doctors, takes this means to give warning that she needs the help and gentle assistance which can best be obtained from that old fam ily remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which has been in use for over a century. They are the same fine laxative tonic pill your grandparents used when doctors were few and far be tween, and when people had to have a remedy that could absolutely be de pended upon. Brandreth's Pills can be depended upon, and are sold in every drug and medicine store, plain or sugar-coated. French President’s “Double." M. Fallieres was, until recently, be lieved to be the only president of the French republic who bad no double, but his counterpart has been found. The man who most resembles him physically is a respectable merchant of the Rue Saint Honore, who playa his part with decorum and dignity. He wears exactly the same kind of blue butterfly necktie with white dots as the president, the same kind of hat and exactly so oddly cut a beard. And on his promenades lie is always ac companied by a frond who couid eas ily be taken for the president's pri vate secretary. Dignified and with measured steps, the enviable double walks through the Faubourg Saint Honore and feels overjoyed at being saluted on all sides. THE DISCOVERER Of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, the Great Woman’s Remedy for Woman’s Ilfs. LYDIA E. P1NKHAM No other medicine for Woman’s ills in the world has received such wide spread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female illnesses or such hosts of grateful friends as has Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. For more than 30 years it has been curing all forms of Female Complaints, Inflammation and Ulceration, and consequent Spinal Weakness. It has cured more eases of Backache and Local Weaknesses than any other one remedy. It dissolves and expels tumors in an early stage of development. Irregularities and periodical pains, Weakness of the Stomach, Indigestion, Bloating, Nervous Prostration, Headache. General Debility quickly yield to it; also deranged organs, causing pain, dragging sensations and backache. Under all circumstances it acts in harmony with the female system. It removes that wearing feeling, extreme lassitude, "dpn’t care” and “want-to-be-left-alone’’ feeling, excitability, irritability, nervousness, diz ziness, faintness, sleeplessness, flatulency, melancholy or the “blues”. These are indications of Female Weakness or some derangement of the organs, which this medicine cures as well as Chronic Kidney Complaints and Backache, of either sox. Those women who refuse to accept anything else are rewarded a hundred thousand times, for they get what they want—a cure. Sold by Druggkts everywhere. Refuse all substitutes.
