Nothing like Bar-Ben has ever been
known before in the history OF mod
ern remedies. The most complicated
and aggravated of cases, heretofore
considered incurable, yield instantly
to the wonderful curative properties
of this new discovery. Bar-Ben is as
different from anything and every
thing else as day is from night. The
effects differ from the effects of other
so-called sexual remedies. in that it
is not a stimulant, but BLOOD,

creates solid flesh, muscle and
strength, and infuses new vigor and
vitality into the weak, nervous
broken-down system, while its eff
fects are quickly apparent, and as as
tonishing as they are lasting. The
testimony of thousands of men and
women whom it has lifted from a
helpless condition of long suffering,
tells the tale of the great discovery
more effectually than words can por-
tray.
Bar-Ben Restorative is prepared in
small sugar-coated tablets, easy to
swallow, a box of SO tablets 80 cents,
or six boxes $3.50. Sold by druggists

FOOLED THE SOLDIER BOY.
No. Used to Feminine Ways That Are

Mo- Used to Feminine Ways That Are
Dark and Tricky.
One of the soldier boys swung along
in the parade with heart far heavier
than his gun. and as he passed a bal
cony on tie avenue and saw n pretty
girl and well dressed man there iIe
scowled fieroely Last fall it was far
otherwise. He smiled whenever he
saw the girl. and the repulsively well
dressed man hadn't dawned yet. Last
spring thesoldier sacrificed two buttons
from his blouse and had them made
into batpinS fei that girl. Two weeks
ago he sat near her at the theater, and
d when she removed her hat he saw that
1t had been pinned Oh with a turquoise
tieur-dc-lis and an enaIneled violet.
The girl had promised to wear them
forever and ever.
The soldier boy went home and
wrote her the witheringest note you
can imagine He told her that as she
no longer cared for him she could no
longer value tue button hatpins, and
that he'd like them back again. OF
course. lie put in number of other re-
marks. some of them general, referring
to the sex. and others specific and re-
ferring to her and to her conduct She's
nice girl and an amiable girl, but
that note was too much for her TO en-
dure. She sent manservant with her
answer:
My Dear Mr.. Skaggs-l would be very glad
to return the hatpins you ask for, but cannot
tell which ones they are. They are all so alike
that am not at all sure which ones you gave
me- but send you what l have, and you can
pick out yours. Very sincerely. FRANCES.
And that's why the soldier boy
scowled. Being mere man, he didn't
even dream that six of the hatp.ns
were borrowed.-Washingt Post.

AUSTIN. Tex. July 11.-Covernor
Sayers and corps of assistants spent
some time working III behalf of flood
sufferers up and down the Brazos river
bottom. Reports from the stricken dis
tricU were to the effect that while the
waters were rapidly receding the condi-
ton of the food sufferers was improv-
ing very little.
The governor received official reports
from Nelasco, the southermost point,
that everything was in fairly good con-
dition there with % feet of water pre-
vailing. He has received a telegram
from the citizens of Hearne stating that
they had fought alone as long as they
could and would now have to ask pub
lie aid: that all the property in that sec.
ton had been laid waste, they were
starving and homeless and needed
money, food and clothing.
Their wants will be supplied at once.
County Judge Bell, at Bellville, wired
that there were 1000 sufferers IN the
counties OF Mills creek, and 1000 in

A BOON TO
MOTHERS.
Akron Mothers Will Profit By the
Experience of Another.

Among all classes of people we find
children suffering from weak kid
neys. The intelligent mother knows
that this is not habit and searches
for a remedy. 1t is something very
hard to relieve and the family ply
sician tells her that the child will
grow out of it in time. Sometimes
they do and sometimes they do not.
In the meantime annoyance and en-
barrassment is the result If any
one knows a remedy, is it not an act
of charity, is it not a duty to make it
public? Should selfishness or pride
keep it concealed? Mrs. Edmund
Benson Of l24 Wooster av., has used
Doan's Kidney Pills in her family
and makes the following statement
for the benefit of anxious mothers
and the relief of interesting little
children.
Mrs. Benson says: Il procured
Doan's Kidney Pills for my child
from Lamparter d Cos drug store as
they were recommended for reliev-
ing children of embarrassing trouble
with the kidneys. The use of Doan's
Kidney Pills acted like magic and
the nocturnal annoyance at
once. | am II firm believer in the
merits of Doan's Kidney Pills and
have recommended them to my ac-
quaintances. They are harmless yet
effective and are a most desirable

HE Won HIS CASE.
And the foor Plaintiffs Thus Saf-

And the roor Plaintiffs Thus saf-
fered n Hard Blow.
That reminds me-" said a Chicago
man in a reminiscent group last night,
"of an old story that is good enough to
repeat. Some years ago three book
makers put up at hotel at my home
and handed a large package of money
to the chief clerk. They told him that
they would leave it with him every
night, and We're particular in saying
that it was to be delivered only in the
presence of all three. 1t was evident,
you see. that they didn't quite trust one
another.
"Well, week or SO rolled around,
and one morning one Of the trio came
down rather early and called for the
cash. Without thinking of the con-
ditions of delivery, the clerk handed it
over, and the bookmaker promptly
skipped. His two partners were furi-
Gus and brought suit against the hotel
for $4,000, the amount in the bundle
"a smart young lawyer volunteered
to take the defense, which other at
torneys frankly regarded as hopeless.
When the trial came off he waited un-
til the bookmakers had submitted all
their evidence, and then arose with a
large bundle in his hand.
".NNe stand ready he said, to fulfill
the letter of the agreement you have
just proved. This package contains
$4,000 in cash. AS soon as the three
owners apply for it together we are
prepared to turn it over
"Of course the third man couldn't be
produced and the case Immediately col
lapsed. The parcel really contained an
old pair of pants."-New Orleans
