A NERVOUS WRECK Mrs. Green Gained 26 Pounds and Recovered Her Health by Taking Dr. William' Pink Pills. General debility is a term that covers a multitude of cases where there is no acute disease, yet the patient continues to lose strength and the doctor's medi cines have no apparent effect. This is the decline that leads to death if means are not found to check it. Ia a great majority of cases Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will check it and restore health and strength because they actually make new blood and so send renewed vitality to every orgnu and tissue of the body. Mrs. 8. A. Green, whose address is Box 20, R. F. D. No. 4, Franklin, Ga., says : "For three and a half years I suffered with weakness and nervous ness, complicated with stomach trouble. At times I was confined to my bed for periods ranging from three weeks to two months and was tinder the physician's care most of the time for three years. I do not know the cause of my trouble but I wrs prostrated with weakness and, al though I took a great deal of medicine, nothing seemed to give me strength. At times my stomnch hurt me something fearful and my head often troubled me. I was sleepless and what sleep I did get did not refresh me. ' When I began taking Dr. "William Pink Pills, I weighed but 104 pounds. 1 knew I was so bad that a few doses would not cure me and I had patience. Boon the pills began to give me strength, my blood got in better condition, I could sleep well at night and help some with the housework. Now I weigh 130 pounds and think nothing of walking half a mile. Dr.Willi.Mns' Pink Pills have done won ders for mo-and the neighbors all know this statement is true." , Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent by mail, post paid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes 2.50, by the Dr. Williams Med icine Co., Scheuoctad y, N. Y. Difference In Bills. Borrougb.8 Say, old man, got a ten dollar bill about you? Brokeleigh No. but I've got a nine dollar bill. Borroughs Come off!

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. Natural Color of Pure Water. It was long ago discovered that the natural color of pure water is blue, and not white, as most of us usually supposed. Opinions have not agreed on the cause of the green and yellow tints; these, it has been discovered by W. Spring, are due to extraneous substances. Dissolved calcium 'salts, though apparently giving a green tint, due to a fine Invisible suspension, have no effect on the color of the water when adequate precautions are taken. The brown or yellow color due to iron Baits is not seen when cal cium is present. The grean tint is often due to a condition of equilibrium between the color effect of the iron salts and the precipitating action of the calcium salts. Scientific American. TAME WILD BEASTS How Rhodes and Beit Met. Mr. Rhodes once told a circle 01 friends after dinner the story of his first meeting with Beit. "I called at Porges' late one evening," he said, "and there was Beit working away as usual. 'Do you never take a rest?' I asked. 'Not often,' he replied. 'Well, what's your game?' said I. 'I am go ing to control the whole diamond out put before I am much older,' he an swered, as he got off his stool. 'That's funny,' I said. 'I have made up my mind to do the same; we had better loin hands,' " Join hands they did. Unlike Alfred Beit, Cecil Rhodes had small patience with arithmetical de tails. Once this characteristic in volved him in a difficulty. 1 Pitching a balance sheet into the pile of papers before Beit, he exclaimed desperately, ' Here, you understand things; for heaven's sake tell me how I stand." WONDERFUL INSTANCES ISLANDS WHERE LIFE PROTECTED. FRO A) IS WHAT BECAME OF OLD GLASSES? They Are in No Danger and Seem to Realize It and Show No Fear of Man at All. Sweet Potato Pudding. Peel and wash a large sweet potato, wipe dry, and grate with a large grater. While the potato is being grated heat one quart of milk, stir a cup of the grated potato into the hot milk, and let it boil. Meantime beat four eggs to a cream, add one table spoon butter to the milk and potatoes, and take them off the fire. Stir the beaten eggs with the milk and pota toes, season the pudding palatably with salt and pepper, and put into an earthen dish and bake for 20 minutes, or until the custard is firm. ;. That wild animals become extremely tame is well known. The wild quai of southern California will enter gar, dens and nest there and in the protect ed season I have seen a flock stand in a country road, a jaunty male between; them, and my horse not 20 feet away, moving only when I moved and thenj with reluctance, says a writer in the Scientific American. ; Several years ago some residents, on one of the channel islands of south-i ern California introduced a number otf black-tailed deer, which were protect-! ed to such an extent that in time they discovered that they were privileged5 characters and assumed nearly the ab solute contempt for human beingd held by the sacred bulls of India tha crowd men and women from the road, They persisted ( in entering gardens day and night, destroying the plants and finally to locate them the dweller on the island had bells fastened tq them. One buck made his home nea the town of Cabrillo and walked about the place and over the hills with the freedom of a dog. When a boat land ed oft the pier the buck ran down to greet the newcomers and share their lunch and became a welcome guest a barbecues and lobster and clam bakes: Nearly all animal life is protected at this island. I have counted half a hunj dred bald eagles in an eleven-mile run) have seen them take a large fish from the water within easy gunshot ana they build their nests on pinnacles that are not difficult of approach. The sea birds are equally tame. Gulls gather in flocks a few feet from those who feed them. In the winter flocks of cormorants swim into the bays and are so tame that they merely divide when a boat passes and fishermen often find that the cormorants take off bait almost as fast as they can put it on. Gulls dash at bait and I have seen; a long-winged bird , resembling the petrel follow my line under water aS a cast, using its wings to fly along ana take the bait and at times scores of sea birds are seen inshore feeding up on small shrimps, paying no attention to observers photographing them. The most remarkable illustration ot tameness to be seen here is that of the sea lions. For ages the animals have, held possession of a mass of rocks ori the shore of the islands. A few years am manv were killed bv vandals, but laws were passed and for a number ot years the sea lions have been protect! ed and the rookery has increased id size until a split has recently occurred, and another settlement nas been es tablished halfway up the island. It has been the custom for years fo fishermen in cleaning their fish to toss the refuse into the bay and the seq Hons formed the habit of coming down to the bay at this time to dine there. upon. At first only one or two came; now a band of two large bulls and sev. eral females make their headquarters at the bay to spend most of their timo there, constituting a valuable, sanitary corps, as they eat every fragment of fish, the gulls joining in the feast, When not feeding the sea lions pass the time lyirig within a few feet of the beach, sleeping or playing, the females and young leaping from the water .and going through various tricks of inter est to the looker-on. - But a few feet away from the sea lions are the boat stands ot the fish ermen and boatmen and boats are moving out , and over the sea lions' constantly, yet they are apparently ob-: livious to the men, who never molest them. This has had a peculiar result, The enormous animals have become sc tame that they almost allow the mere to touch them and readily come out upon the shore to feed from their hands. It so happened that I was up on the sands when no sea 'lions were, in sight, and upon asking a boatman where they were he began to whistloj as though calling for a dog and to call.' "Here, Ben!" repeating the call several times, whereupon out from among the anchored boats appeared not only Ben but two large bull sea lions, which must have weighed half a ton. Mother's Effort to Check Child's Curi osity Proves Futile. A Boston three-year-old, like Mr. Kipling's elephant's child is distin guished by her "insatiable curiosity." Bitter and embarrassing experiences have led her long-suffering mother to recognize this fact. Accordingly, when accidents in the kitchen and the expectation of guests to dine, rendered the purchase of new water "glasses necessary, Mrs. S took her daughter into her confidence. Sarah," she said, "these are new glasses. I bought them at Stearns' yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Robert drove me over to the shop with Jim and the runabout. Robert wore his 'butternut' livery and his brown derby. I paid six dollars for the glasses, and had them sent. Now you know all about them, and I positively forbid you to ask a single question about them when you see them on the table." Sarah wore a subdued look during the process of the meal, and Mrs. S was beginning to congratulate If alabaster ornaments are merely grimy, washing with soap and water will clean them; if, however, they are stained, wash them first and then spread over them a mixture of whit ing and water, made into a stiff paste, wash this oft after a few hours, when the stains will probably have disap peared. uerman women collect wnat are supposed to be the smallest potted plants L the world.

Wanted a Hearing. "Are you the editor that takes in the society news?" inquired the caller, an undersized man, with the timid, appealing look on his face. "Yes, sir," replied the young man at the desk. "I can take in any kind of news. What have you?" "Why, it's this way," said the caller, lowering his voice. "My wife gave swell party last night and I'm willing to have this report of the affair puj In your paper. "We don't charge anything for pub lishing society affairs," observed the young man at the desk, taking the proffered manuscript and looking over. "That's all right," was the reply You don't understand. I wrote this ap myself and I put in a line two that says: "Mr. Half stick assisted his dis tinguished wife in receiving the guests, That's the way I want it to go and don't care if it costs a sovereign a line: I want my friends to know, by George! that I still belong to the family!"

Worn Down by Five Years of Suffer ing from Kidney Complaint. Mrs. Remethe Myers, of 180 South Tenth SL, Ironton, O., says: "I have worked hard in my time and have been exposed again and again to changes of f&&r3T 1 weatner. it is no wonder my kidneys gave out and I went all to pieces at last. For five years I was fading away and finally so weak that for six months I could not get outi of the house. I was nervous, restless and sleepless at night, and lame and sore in the morning. Sometimes everything would whirl and blur be fore me. I bloated so badly I could not wear tight clothing, and" had to put on shoes two sizes larger than usual. The urine was disordered and passages were dreadfully frequent. I got help from the first box of Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and by the time I had taken four boxes the pain and bloating was gone. I have been In good health ever since." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Stubbornness of Man.

T A T TT WHAT JOY HEY rftRINQ v Ho Every Home as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play when in health and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor, life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injuri ous or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used ; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well irnVmed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputa ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste ; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent . medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. -plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents apd the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required.
