Gentlemen:-For years, have been
suffering from kidney complaint and
acute rheumatism in their most aggra-
waited form. The latter disease. ply
sicians say. was caused by what they
claimed was an extraordinary amount
of uric acid in the blood. 1 have tried
after remedy. all of which were
advertised as the only cure. and have
spent hundreds of dollars with differ
ent specialists without anything more
than temporary relief. My occupa ton.
that of a travelling salesman, was such
a detriment to a cure that all the doc
tors ! consulted said l would have to
abandon it If l ever expected perma-
nent relief.
Through the advice of one of my
friends who had suffered in like man.
FER, l was persuaded to try DR.. Hobbs

gave me relief, and four boxes per-
formed a remarkable and complete

They Do Not Mind the Pennies.

Experience has made the men of the
fruit stands overcautious in handling
coin above the size of q 10 cent piece.
The larger pieces they will test upon the.
pavement or sink their teeth into in
tentative fashion 1t is to be noted
however, that whenever a customer
makes penny purchase they pocket his
change without scanning it--almost
hastily indeed There is deep reason in
this procedure.
For one thing, nobody counterfeits
the cent piece; it is too cheap. For aq1
other thing, the fruit dealer knows that
no coin of smaller denomination is pass
ing into his hands For third thing,
and this is the most important, there is
always chance that the customer is
deceived himself and is handing over q
nickel dime or one of the minor gold
pieces. under the impression that he is
paying but penny. If he looks satisfied
and starts to go away. ne is not likely
to be called back to get the change Oc-
casionally some such involuntary wind
fall comes the way of the fruit man.

Little girls are to wear their hair in
curls again-in fascinating curls, such
as granGmothers wore at side checks in
the thirties. The hair may be divided
upon the top of the head or at one side.
In either case the lengths should be sep
arated into, say, dozen parts and curl
ed precisely, not waved. The curling
tong is an instrument Of destruction
which a careful mother will not allow,
heated, to touch child's hair. There
is no harm in forming curls on a round
length of wood with brush and water.
But naturally straight hair will not
yield to such kindness Of method. For
it there are, aside from the harmful
tongs, only kid curriers'. These come in
large and small sizes. TIE large ones
are the best for long hair Chicago

Protest.
A personal appeal made from pulpit
recently by Rev Dr. w G, Starr of
Richmond resulted in "a well known
gambler expressing toa widow in Wash
ington the sum of $1,000 won from her
SON at cards, and the assurance from the
sport to the well known divine that he
Will never throw another card
The sensation that DR. STAIRS re
marks occasioned has been intensified
by the incident DR. Starr was passing
down Broad street one evening, when a
gentleman, calling his attention TO two
men standing on the opposite side Of
the street, said; do you see those two
men ON the other side of the street
there. The middle. aged man Is gam
bier The young man at his side was his
victim recently in Washington city. In
a game they were playing for stakes the
gambler won from that young man ST.
O0O-overy cent he had in tine world,
and he had j.; laid aside to help his
mother buy house. She Is widow,
and he is her only child.
Near the close of his sermon delivered
on the following evening Dr.. Starr
stated this occurrence and startled his
audience ty asserting that he saw in the
congregation before him that gambler
and bis victim. Il viii not call him a

"That thousand dollars be has in his
possession as the result Of that game
does not belong TO him. He did not
make the money honestly. There is just
one thing for HIM 10 do, and that is to
give it back. 1t did not belong to that
young man after he had laid it aside for
his mother. The gift was in the mo-
tive. That sou must carry ont the in /

To his amaZemont DR.. Starr was ac- (
costed on the street the next morning
by the gambler, who hastily said he
was not after a difficulty, but that he
had been unable to sleep, and bad ship
ped the money to the widow. Then,
with choked utterance, the gambler
added, Il have determined by the help
of God never to throw another card as
long as | live. -
The doctor replied, Il am glad to
know it, and let me say to you that if
your changed life makes bread scarce

my table as long as L have crust to
share with any one.

cost $3.50, 900. and the capital for estab-
fishing the plant Is assured. The mill
will require two diffusion batteries and
have a capacity of 500 tons of cane each
