Would Protect the Whisky
General De Wet is possessed of hu
mor One of the leading officials in a
refugee camp is a Scotsman who dur
ing dinner took occasion in offering
the general a dink to say ho must
have got a fair amount of whisky
among his captured convoys De Wet
was much amused at this and said
that before attacking a convoy he made
inquiries if they were guarded by
Scotsmen If this were so he further
inquired if it contained any whisky
If the second condition accompanied
the first he always gave the colony a
wide berth because he knew the beg
gars would fight to the last man

1 What an Almanac Did
1 Matthews Ark Aug 25th Mrs
Lee S Sanders of this place tells how
an almanac saved her life
I have been troubled a great deal
with my kidneys all my life and was
constantly growing worse
I chanced to get a copy of Dodds
Almanac for 1902 and in it read some
stories of how Dodds Kidney Pills
had cured many very bad cases of
Kidney Trouble
j My husband bought a box and I
began to use them and in a short time
we were surprised and delighted at
the wonderful improvement In my
case
I am now as well as anybody and
J can eot say too much for Dodds
Kidney Pills It was a lucky day for J
me when I picked up that almanac
I believe Dodds Kidney Pills will
Icure anyone who suffers with Kidney
Trouble
When a man proposes he doesnt
seem to realize that it may result in
his losing control of himself
