The great good that Morrow's Kid

backsche, dizziness, sleeplessness,

hearty expression of the quick relief
they obtained.

which indicated a arrangement of
the kidneys. l had dull lingering
pain across the small of my back and
rheumatic pains and soreness in my
joints. Too much uric acid in my
blood infiamed my kidneys, causing
kidney backache. Morrow's Kid-ne-

ROYAL
Baking Powder

The strongest, purest, most efficient and
wholesome of leavening agents. Not lowest
in price, yet the most economical; indispens-
able to all who appreciate the best and most
healthful food.
Our country is enjoying prosperity almost
unsurpassed in its history
For every one there is money enough to
buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good,
wholesome.
Why should we use cheap, impure, un-
healthful articles of food? There is no
economy in them, they endanger the health,
they may cost life. There are reported
almost daily cases of sickness caused by eat
ing cake, puddings or biscuit made with the
cheap, alum baking powders.
In all articles for food buy and use only
the best. The good health of the family is
of first consideration

NEW ARMORED TRAINS.
Are Designed to Traverse c COuA- try Where There Are No
 RailrOads..

Two new armored trains, intended for use in a country where there are no rails or permanent ways, have lately been placed upon the establishment at Aldershot. Each consists of a locomo- tive or traction engine, and four trucks, all of which are painted the now fa- miliar but ever unlovely khaki. The locomotives, which are of exceedingly powerful construction, are completely cased with steel, the vital parts being especially protected. An ingenious ar rangement of prisms and mirrors, somewhat after the manner of the camera obscura, enables the driver in- side the cab of the engine to see with out being seen or in any way exposing himself. The trucks are built with high sloping steel sides, which are pierced and slotted at intervals to en- able the occupants to fire through them. They are also provided with slides at either end to permit of guns and wagons being run into the trucks. The steel sides of the carriages are so constructed that when necessary they may fall inward and lie flat on the plat form of the truck, which can then be used for ordinary transport purposes.

SAVED FROM RATTLEsNAKE.
Good Shot by Hunter Prevents Rep- file from Using His Fangs
 on Boy.

Otto Doetcher, 14-year-old boy em- ployed in the office of H. J. Young, manager of the National Mercantile company, of Toledo, O., had terrible experience with a rattlesnake while visiting at the home of relative near White House. {
 He desired to go out and get some frogs in the ponds which are located on the farm where he was visiting. While walking along the bank he stumbled and fell, and as he was fall ing he saw a huge snake under him. It was lying in the sun and was stretched out it's full length.
 His body had hardly struck tie ground and he had just discovered the reptile when he heard the snake rat tie, and a second later the reptile coiled itself and raised it's head slight ly into the air. showing its poisoning fangs. A man who had been out hunt ing happened along and saw the boy and his predicament. He decided upon his action at once, and raising the gun to his shoulder fired at the reptiles head. His aim was good and the snakes head fell to the ground. The boy was badly frightened, and could barely reach the home of his relatives.
 The hunter secured the rattles on the snakes tail and now has them in his possession. There were 27 of them, and this would indicate that the snake was 30 years of age. as they are supposed to accumulate rattles at the rate of one each year after they have reached the age of three years.
