story.
Courcil P'uffs, Iowa. Jan. 10, 1901
Observation-Disclosures Officer Swan
son Of the local Police force Is very
popular in the city. He has lived here
for seventeen years, and has enjoyed
many high offices in social and society
work. He is now Vice-President of the
"Dannebrog'' Brotherhood, the largest
Danish secret society in America,
which combines benevolent with he
social features. Owing to the constant
exposure n many hours on his feet,
which his duty as a police officer
makes unavoidable, Mr.. Swanson be-
came the victim of serious Kidney and
Liver Trouble. He was very bad, but
has entirely recovered. He gives the
story in his own words, as follows:
ct have been a sufferer for many
years with Kidney and Liver Trouble,
and have tried nan remedies, some OF
which gave me temporary releT. ana
others which were absolutely worth
less. I began to hin that there was
no help for me, when my nephew CAV
me part of a box Of Dodd's Kidney
Pills which he had left, saying that It
would do no harm to try them, as they
had certainly fixed him all right. what
he gave me helped me so mucn that |
felt justified in purchasing more, and 1
grew slowly better. 1t took almost two
months to effect a complete cure, as
mine was a very bad case, but l can
cheerfully and truthfully say that l am
q well man to-day, and am very CRATE
P,,l that Dodd's Kidney Pills were thus
brought to my notice"
The wonderful cures effected by
Dodd's kidney Pills in Iowa have Gre
ated quite a sensation in some parts
of the state. There does not seem to
be any case of Lame Back. Rheuma-
tism, Kidney or Bladder Trouble which
these wonderful Pills cannot cure
They are certainly peculiar here, and
the sale through the local druggists is
very large.

CornCObS
, Used.

Ceffec suosov. utes of domestic manu-
tacture have long been known. An
Infusion rf parched corn, or corn cot
Zee, Is favored in some nous eAolds as
8 ar nix for invalids. ParcAed wheat,
peS $. beans and c%orncobs, as well as
? Eeet potatoes, cut into small pieces
and dried and parched, have also been
used. Such drinks usually are res2r'ai
to in times of scarcity, or when, / =
one reason or another, it is not pos
sible to obtain true coffee. Chicory
is also a well-known substitute for COT
fee. and it is used also mixed in larg-
er or smaller proportion with true cof-
fee, and by many persons such mix
lures are preferred to coffee alone, as
the chicory is thought to improve the
haTors. On The market are many CT
fee substitutes which, it is asserted,
are made from cereals, and therefore
such beverages are considered especi-
ally wholesome and to have a high
toad value. The value as food of cot
Zee or airy such beverage is due to the
material extracted from the coffee Cor
other suhstance) by the water used,
and to the sugar and milk or cream
added to the infusion. AS the bulk
OF the infusion Is water, 1t is obvious
that tn. food value can not be great.
The composition of a large number o.
samples of coffee and coffee substi
tutes has been studied at the Connect
cut state agricultural station. The fool
value Of coffee substitutes has been
studied by the Maine agricultural sta
ton. The Connecticut state station
found that while some coffee substi-
tutes contain a little true coffee, Prob

AL Fieah.

A fad recently introduced in this
country, by a well known actress, Is
having the face of ones flancee photo
graphed o. the arm. The process fol-
lowed was discovered by Dinkeresco, a
famous Russian chemist, says the Bal
timore News.
The exact spot on the arm where 1t is
desired that the portrait of the loved
n shall be ineffaceably fixed is first
coated with q chemical mixture that is
sensitive to the light. A flexible film of
the features of the betrothed is placed
in the mixture, and the arm is ten ex-
posed for ten minutes, when a perfect
reproduction is found upon the cuticle.
1t is not indelible, however, but must
be washed with three different chemi-
Gals to insure permanency. After the
triple bath the image cannot be re-
moved by any known process.
In these days of much marrying and
giving in marriage, it is doubtful If
many women could be found who
would care to brand themselves in this
unique fashion.

led in q report to the state department
by an American consul. One Of the
duties OF a consul is to discover, II he
can, and make known to his country
men all openings for profitable bust
ness In the district within which his
jurisdiction lies. Accordingly, we are
told how the Germans at Aix-la-Cha-
pelle received an American circus. The
magnitude and character Of the bill
posting and the rapid erection OF the
huge tents filled them with astonish-
ment. On the day of the circus not a
workman went to the factories, and
spindles lay in ~astonished idleness.
The tents were crowded at each per-
Torrance. Vague antipathies against
tho United States were changed to re-
spect and awe, any farther achieve
ment being deemed possible for Ameri-
sans. That commerce follows the flag
is a trite assertion. The Aix-la-Cha-
pelle consul seems to add, especially
when the flag waves above an Ameri-
can circus!" -,

AS One Of the
Substitutes for
Coffee.

PEA hulls, and a paste made of wheat
1liddlings. Flour, meal and other
ground grains contain q little soluble
material, but, as is well known, the
bulk of the material in them is in
soluble. When the cereals are roasted,
a portion is rendered soluble, making
the roasted material more soluble
than the u~nroasted. The infusion or
the cereal coffees studied at the Maine
station vas in every case made &C
cording to the directions accompany
ing the material. The amount of the
cereal coffee which was recommended
to be used varied considerably, and con-
sequently the strength of the infusion
varied within rather wide limits. When
made according to directions, a pound
of material yielded from 20 to $50 cups.
The average amount of soluble mater
ial in the different samples land
hence the total food material in the
infusion, not counting sugar and milk
or cream added varied from 22.4 to
51.2 per cent. Skim milk, which Is
ordinarily considered a rather thin
beverage, contains almost twenty times
as much food material as the average
of the beverage made from cereal cof-
fee. II made according TO directions,
one would have to drink four and a
half gallons of an infusion Of one of
them which made an especial claim to
high nntritive value In order to get as
much food as is contained In a quart
of skim milk. The infusion of true
coffee also contains little nutritive ma
terial. However, it is not ordinarily
consumed on account of its food value,
but on account of it's agreeable favor.
1t also contains a small amount of an
alkaloid, c~affein, which has stimulat-
ing properties. This is entirely lack
ing in cereal coffees if they are made
entirely from cereal grains.

SOME GREAT GUNS.

Ranges of from aB to 10 Miles Are
Now Calmly Proposed.
There is an effort being made in Diff
ferent countries to turn the lesson Of
the Anglo-Boer war to profit by con-
structing ordnance of increased range.
The Beers got their greater range not
10y having superior guns, but by ele-
waiting the muzzle, as the English found
out when the Beers turned captured
English guns upon them. The English

walton. But the point remains that the
Beers taught the world that superior
range, no matter how obtained, gives
a decided practical advantage. In 1888
an English 9.2-inch gun made a record
with a range of IL miles. A Krupp
9,45-inch gun four years later made 2
new record of 1914 miles. Recently
there has been talk Of a German gun
that ranges Is miles. But an American
ordnance factory is preparing a 12-inch
gun, it is said, which is to carry a
shell 10 miles. It's length is to be equal
to 40 calibers and the 1,050-pound shell
is to have an initial velocity of 5000
feet a second. The difficulty in obtain
ing extreme ranges lies largely with
the gun carriage, says the Baltimore
Sun. Most gun carriages permit an
