IN OLDEN TIMES.
Many Things Were Dfmerent-Nowa-
Days the Public Profits by
Experience.

When the striped pole or sign which
now indicates barber shop was en-
ployed TO let the public know where
cupping or blood-letting was profess
sionally performed, close shaves were
of daily occurrence, not the easy re-
moval of the hirsute or hairy adorn-
inenl OF the head and face, but close
SLAVES from entering eternity. More
than one unfortunate entered the bar
Der surgeons doorway TO leave it a
corpse or SO weak that weeks were re-
CURED to get the victim of malpractice
on his feet. Blood-letting was used
for everything from a heartache TO a
corn, and a pain in the loins was in
variably treated with two missions, one
On each side of the spine. Like plasters
and liniments, these helped from the
counter irritation they created and we
may presume that had Mr.. Calvin Will
son, proprietor of the leading shay
ing parlor of Niles, Mich, lived in the
time of George III. of England, in
place of taking the course he did a
short time ago with his back, blood-let-
ting would have been resorted to. Read
how he treated his trouble:
Mr.. Wilson says: "My occupation
has, very likely, much to do with the
cause of my backache from which l
have suffered considerably for a num-
Der of years. Standing on ones feet
some days IS hours is hard on the best
of backs, but when you have pain across
the loins, with lameness and soreness,
everytime you move the muscles of
the arm, long, long, before your daily
task is over you often wish you could
go to sleep. l tried everything to bet
ter my condition, but was unsuccessful
until L used three boxes of Doan's Kid
ney Pills. The relief they brought to
a man who has worked hard all his
life and is now past the three score and
ten is much easier to appreciate than
to describe in words. Doan's Kidney
Pills perform what they promise"

Fatally Shot by Accident.

Battle Greek, Mich, Oct. Mrs.
Ed e. Linton was probably fatally
shot by George barrow, aged 10, son
of neighbor. He was visiting Leslie
Linton, aged 8, and they were playing
soldiers. George took down a shot
gun, pointed it at the woman and said:
May | have shot?" In fun she an
swered in the affirmative, and he
blazed away at distance of 10 feet.
The charge of No. 6 shot struck her
just above the temple and plaughed a
furrow four inches long and an inch
and half wide in the head.
She was taken to the hospital where
surgeons took out five pieces of shat
tered bone ranging in size from half
inch square to two inches long and an
inch wide.

SUGARS RISE
Attributed TO Reports That Duty on Cuban

BY Associated Pres.

New York, Feb. 27.-Today's trading
in the stock market while quite large
was very much congested in few
stocks. There was continued strength
in st. Paul, and late bouyant rise in
Sugar, and notable gains by some of
the less prominent high priced indus
trials, but the general market was not
much inclined to respond in sympathy
although the depression which existed
in some parts of the list early in the
day was partly relieved.
There was large trading again in
steel stocks today, but it was in large
part on arbitrage operations from one
stock to another. Most members OF
the groiip showed declines on the day.
The strength of st. Paul today was ac-
companied by assertions that the div
idend will certainly be increased at
the approaching meeting.
The movement of Sugar was attrib-
uted to the reports that the import
duty on Cuban raw sugar is to be re-
mitted. There was fair volume of
