CURE SICK HEADACHE.
Queen Of the Table.

The waitress slammed an order Of about
spoonful Of dried-up mashed potatoes be-
fore the customer with defiant air.
II like the sample" weakly remarked the
patron as he cleaned up the small part OF tho
once luscious roots at one mouthful.
That was your order; you asked for po-
tatoes," snapped the waitress as her eyes
narrowed and her lips assumed the shape OF
q straight line.
''Wnen do you dig potatoes" returned
the subdued man in an effort to become
friendly.
Il dig potatoes from II a. m. to two p. m"
said the queen of the table as she nervously
fingered a cup which was not working"
"And once more nobody but the cheap
0kates kick"
The patron guiped his coffee and beat
retreat.-Cleveland Leader.

The New York Tribune calls at.
tention to the unprecedented and ire
mendous municipal activity in the
great cities of the world. Public i'm
provements costing hundreds of mil
lions of dollars are under way in all
6f the great cities in the land. This
indicates that competition is as active
between municipalities as between
private business corporations. Not
only are they rivals in commerce.
but in the work of public adornment
and the provision of comforts and
conveniences for the people.

COULDN'T WEAR SHOES.

Sumpter, ILL.,, June 1p.-Mrs. j. B.
Flanagan, of this place, had suffered
with Dropsy for fifteen years. She
was so very bad that for the last
three years, she has not been able to-
wear her shoes. She had doctored all
the time, but was gradually getting
worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for
some medicine at Mr.. ]. j. Dale's drug
store in Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded
him to have his wife try Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and he bought six boxes. His
wife used five out of the six, before
she was entirely cured. She is now as
sound and well as ever she was, COM
pletely restored to health, and free
from any symptom whatever Of
Dropsy.
TO say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
at her wonderful deliverance, does not
half express her feelings, and she.
and Mr.. Flanagan are loud in their
praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and Of
Mr.. Dale for recommending this won
derful remedy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills.
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such severe
case of Dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up, has made them the most
talked-of remedy ever known in White
County.

What would otherwise be compar
atively unimportant state election will
be watched with unusual interest and
no little concern throughout the
country because of the action of the
Maryland democratic convention in
making the leading issue of the party
the absolute disfranchisement of the
negroes. The democracy of that
state has gone farther than that OF
even the more distinctively southern
commonwealth in voicing its hostil-
ity to the black man.

Men who presume upon their posi-
ton to evade the penalties of violating
the law sometimes fall down. A not
able instance is the arrest and fining
of two of Iowa's most prominent law
yers for violating the game law. The
justice rightly made the fine steep
one and the legal lights will prob
ably stick to their desks until the
open season hereafter.

The Yang-tse river, in China, is out
of its banks again and its slaughter of
Cinnamon makes the work of the al
lied armies seem like sham battle.
The Yang-tse is commonly regarded
with horror, as a hideous thing of
destruction, but there is question
whether it does not serve a useful
purpose. Things are already badly
crowded in China. Maybe the Yang
tse knows what it is about.

September Traffic.

Railroad earnings continue TO show very
heavy traffic. The latest report of gross
earnings of all the roads in the United
States shows a total FOR September of
Sc. O42. S55. a gain Of 1O1 per cent. over last
year and ia per cent. over 1899. On all
roads the increase in earnings is large
compared with both years. Trunk lines,
Central Traffic Association lines, central
and Western roads report a gain of u per
cent, granger II per cent. over last
year. and when grain traffic was reduced
; per cent. from 1S99 other tonnage was
heavy. roads show an in
crease Of ia per cent. and Pacific lines
1S.S per cent. On all roads, except in grain,
the increase over 1929 is much greater than
last year. This increase in earnings did
not reflect alone a larger tonnage. but a
larger traffic in the better paying classes of
freight. which give a better net return TO
the roads. The reports from week to week
give evidence that the Pennsylvania lines
and the Big Four lines in Central Traffic
Association territory are sharing in the
excellent earning exhibits. and il is evil
dent that these lines in the first six months
beginning with July will show the best re-
suits from operations in the history OF the
roads
