PHYSICIANS MUCH INTER
ESTED.

Northport, Mich, Dec. 0.-The med
ical men are Just now eagerly dis
cussing a most remarkable cure of a
severe case of Kidney Disease in this
county. Mr.. Byron o. Leslie, Of
Northport, has for years been a vie
tim of Kidney arrangements with all
the consequent pain and annoyance.
He was gradually growing worse and
as the disease advanced he became
very Respondent, often wondering if
he would have to endure this suffer
ing all his lifetime.
But at last he found a remedy that
cured him in Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
was much pleased but did not say
much about it lest the good effect he
experienced would not last Now,
however, after months OF continued
good health he has concluded that he
is permanently cured, and his an
nouncement Of this has caused a pro
found sensation among the physi-
clans and the people who knew Of his
apparently hopeless condition.

The department of agriculture is
anxious to encourage the growing of

California, are exceptionally favorable
for industries of this kind.
The police board of Jersey City has
issued an order that officers in the

PUTTING MONEY IN THE BANK
The Trouble Encountered by n Young
Man who Went TO Put Away
His Savings.

Inertia, to which may be ascribed
the inability of many people to earn
vast sums of money, is one circum-
stance which deters people from put
ting what money they have in the
savings bank. Inertia is assisted in its
work of making spendthrifts by
number of customs prevailing with
banks, so that, when one considers
how little momentum it takes to fol-
low a money spending course in the
city, the wonder is that anybody
saves anything at all, says the New
York Post.
A young man with resolution to
save took time from his working
hours not long ago to open an ac-
count in large bank which people
told him paid four per cent yearly
He would have liked to go in his leis-
ure hours, but he knew that savings
banks are open only during the hours
when everybody is hardest at work
He paid five cents to ride on a street
car, and went mile out of his way.
for the sole purpose of putting $50
where somebody would see that he
did not spend it. When he reached
the bank it was quarter to ten
o'clock, and he spent a quarter of an
hour walking up and down the street
until the bank opened. On entering
the vault-like marble hallway, he was
confronted by fierce person in uni
form, who rushed diagonally across
the floor to head him off, like a per.
son playing prisoners base. After
several questions asked by the uni
formed Cyclops in the same tone that
is used toward an office boy by bust
ness man who has two minutes to
catch his train, the young man was
