LIEUT.. MABEL c. HUNT.
A Bright Salvation Army Lnssie, Who
Knows How to Keep Her Corps
in Good Health.

Ogden, Utah. Jan. %. 1901 (Spe-
ciaD.-The Pacific Coast Division of the
Salvation Army, whose noble work in
the interests of fallen humanity has
done so much for this western coun
try, has its headquarters in this city.
One of the brightest and most enthu-
siastic workers is Lieut.. Miss, Mabel
C1arice Hunt. Everyone knows how
these devoted people parade the streets
day or night, exposing themselves to
all kinds of weather, that no opportune
ity may be lost of rescuing some poor
unfortunate from sin and suffering.
In some cases, their recklessnesS in
thus exposing themselves has been
commented upon as almost suicidal.
Their answer to such criticisms in
variably is their unfailing faith in the
Divine Injunction to ''do right and fear
not" Lieut.. Hunt explains one of the
diers" in good health, as follows:
81 have found Dodd's Kidney Pills Of
great value in cases of Kidney and
Liver Trouble and Diseases contracted
from severe colds. Several of our lads
and lassies have been repeatedly ex-
posed to cold weather and rain, and
have spoken for hours out of doors,
often with wet feet and chilled to the
marrow. AS a consequence of this ex-
posture, Pulmonary Trouble, Rheu-
matism and Kidney Disorders often
ensue. In such cases, I always advise
Dodd's Kidney Pills, for have noticed
better results, quicker relief. and more
lasting benefit from the use of Dodd's
Kidney Pills in such cases, than from
all other medicines I know OF COM
bined. They cleanse the blood, regu-
late the system, and destroy disease"
A medicine which can do what Lieut..
Hunt says so positively Dodd's Kidney
Pills do is surely worth the attention
of all who suffer with any form of Kid
ney Trouble, rheumatism, or Blood
Disorders.

on the floor. He was held in $500 bail
and he put it up in cash.
