New Cure for rheumatism.

Hester, Mo-, Dec. 16.-An unusual
case which has recently come to light
here is exciting the keenest interest
among medical men. Mrs. Ellenor
Guardhouse suffered for over forty
years with Sciatic Rheumatism so Sc
verely and so constantly that her case
has been regarded as chronic and alb
solutely lncurable- At times the pain
was almost unbearable and she could
not rest day or night.
Some months ago she was induced to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills, remedy re-
Gently introduced in this neighborhood.
The immediate results were magical
and she continued till she had taken
eight boxes, and now she declares she
has not an ache or pain left. She be-.
lieves that she is completely and per-
manently cured and as she has not
used the pills for some months and is
to-day in the best of health the doctors
who we're at first skeptical are amazed.

The Home Laundry.

There is no reason why the clothes
cleaned at home cannot be ironed up
TO the same standard of excellence that
comes from sending them to the laun-
dry. All that is necessary to attain
the desired object is the purchase of
package of Defiance starch at any
grocery. Use it once and you will un-
derstand why clothes ironed at the
laundries have that mild, glossy ap-
pearance. All first-class laundries use
Defiance starch. If there is no grocery
in your neighborhood that keeps it
they will send for it on request. Made

ST. PAUL ROAD GETS BIG ENGINES
Largest Ones Ever Built to Be Used in Fast
Passenger Runs.
Larger Trains and Quick Schedules Are
Expected to BE the Ultimate
Result.

Several of what are claimed to be
the largest locomotives ever construct
ed were received by the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul road yesterday
In these days of large engines each
fresh consignment received by rail-
road during the past year or two has
had the distinction of being the larg-
est. While these monster locomotives
have in a way ceased to excite sur
prise, those just received by the st.
Paul road are remarkable in their di-
mensions. For example, the diameter
of the driving wheels is eighty-four
and one-fourth inches, or one-fourth
of an inch over seven feet
Following is a technical description
of the new giants:
Diameter of driving wheels, S4A
inches.
Diameter of compound cylinders, 25
and Is inches.
Stroke of cylinders, % inches.
Total length of engine, 6S feet II
inches.
Otcdm CdpuCiIy VI DoiiCI, 1OO pOuuuS
Fire bcx, feet s inches by 5 feet 8
inches.
Number of fiues in boiler, $50.
Heating surface. 3,215 square feet.
Capacity of tender. $4,000 pounds of
coal and 1000 gallons of water
Thinks Fast Time Possible.
General Passenger Agent Miller OF
the st. Paul is enthusiastic over the
new engines. alleging that they will
tend to revolutionize schedules and

Removing Hat. In Elevators.

A crusade has been begun in Wash
ington against the southern custom Of
men removing their hats while riding
in elevators II there are any women
passengers. Notices have been posted
in the corridors of several large office
buildings to the effect that good taste
does not require gentlemen to remove
their hats in the presence of ladies
who may be using the elevator The
reason for the crusade is said to be
altogether hygienic.

Old Age Pensions in France.

The proposed law for old age pen
sions meets with much opposition in
France, on the ground that the age at
which the pension falls due, 65, is far
beyond the average life of the French
workman. Many labor organizations
have protested and all on the same
ground, that their members have no
mind to lay by from their wages money
by which they personally are little
likely to profit

TALKS ON ADVERTISING.

4 : The best way to advertise is just to
advertise. Get at it with view to hav-
ing the people know what you most
desire to sell, and incidentally letting
them know that the specified items do
not represent your full stock. Say in
teresting things about interesting goods
and have the goods to talk.
Men talk of the secret of successful
advertising, but it is all very plain. The
essentials are to offer what people
want. at fair prices, and to offer it in
a way that will make readers know
they want it. The art in writing an
advertisement is to speak as the inter-
ested and well-informed merchant
would speak to prospective customer.
The mere appearance Of business
mans name and address in every issue
of leading newspaper will do work to
increase his trade. Every business man,
however, is able to give facts about his
establishment which will encourage
people to deal with him. To state such
facts clearly in a newspaper is the prin-
cipal secret OF successful advertising.
The idea that it takes number OF
impressions to make the average ad
vertisement effective is not new. Forty
years ago an English advertiser said
20 the publisher of the cornhill Maya
zine. I'VE don't consider that an ad-
vertisement seen for the first time BY
a reader is worth much. The second
time It counts for something. The third
tine the readers attention is arrested:
; he fourth time he reads 1t through and
thinks about II: the fifth makes a pnr-
chaser Of him. It takes time to soak
