A PosTMAsTER's DISCOVERY.

Lancaster, N. Y, April 21st.-Mr.
John Remers, postmaster of this vii
lage, was taken with Diabetes four
years ago. For two years he doc
tored with local physicians as well as
several specialists from Buffalo, but
got no better. Indeed hewas gradually
growing worse.
He stopped taking the doctors med
icine and commenced a treatment of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. He used in all
about ten boxes and is as strong and
well to-day as ever he was.
He attributes his recovery to moth
ing but Dodd's Kidney Pills and says:
IF could only talk five minutes to
every one who has Diabetes am sure
I could convince them that they
needn't suffer a moment longer when
Dodd's Kidney Pills are on sale in
every drug store.
II will cheerfully answer any letters
from sick men or women, as think
every Diabetes sufferer should be told
of Dodd's Kidney Pills the remedy that
saved my life"

AN UNFAMILIAR TEXT.
1t Was Truly Astonishing. But 1t Was
Forceful Illustration of
Great Truth.

Several years ago there labored in
one of the western villages of Minneso-
ia preacher who was always in the
habit of selecting his texts from the
Old Testament, and particularly some
portion of the history of Noah. No
matter what the occasion was, he
would always find some parallel incl
dent from the history of this great
character that would readily serve as
text of illustration, says the Star
light Messenger.
At one time he was called upon tc
unite the daughter of the village mayor
and prominent attorney in the holy
bonds of matrimony. Two little boys,
knowing his determination to give
them a portion of the sacred history
touching Noah's marriage, hit upon
the novel idea of pasting together tive
leaves in the family Bible so as to con-
meet without any apparent break, the
marriage of Noah and the description
of the Ark of the Covenant.
When the noted guests were all as
sembled and the contracting parties
with attendants in their respective
stations the preacher began the cel-
emony by reading the following text:
"And when Noah was 140 years old he
took unto himself a wife" (then turn
ing the page he continued) 200 cubits
in length. SO cubits in width. and 80 GU.
bits in depth. and within and without
besmeared with Pitch The story
seemed a little strong, but he could nor
doubt the Bible. and. after reading it
once more and rejecting moment,
he turned to the startled assemblage
with these remarks: My beloved
brethren. this is the first time in the
history of my life that my attention
has been called to this important pas
sage OF the Scriptures. but it seems to
me that it is one of the most forcible
illustrations of that grand. eternal
truth. that the nature of womanis e--
oeedingly difficult to comprehend.

COST OF LIBRARY VISITS.
Estimated Expense of Providing for
Callers at the Large Reading
Rooms of Chicago.


Each time anybody goes to the John
Crerar library and gets book out
the institution spends 6S cents on his
comfort, says the Chicago Tribune.
Again, how many of those who pur-
sue learning at the Newberry library
appreciate the fact that for every time
they are present in the reading-room
Of the institution AZ cents must be eN-
pended to cover the cost of their visit?
1t is safe to say that few it any OF
the thousands of men and women who
enjoy the privileges of either of these
| institutions year after year stop to
consider the financial consideration in
volved in their reading and study. And
| it is equally as certain that those who
have made it possible for them to en-
Joy these educational privileges give
as little thought to the cost as do the
beneficiaries. But there is an old-time
adage that figures won't lie, " and thus
| it is that by little calculating on pro
rata expense of maintaining the two
| libraries rather interesting feature
of the public library question is pre-
scented.
| The fact of the matter is that each
visit to the John Crerar library costs
more than GS cents, but the excess cam
not in justice be charged to the Wis
| itors of any one year or period, be-
cause expenditures are incurred in
adding to the facilities of the institu-
ton, thus increasing its assets and its
value to posterity. The average cost
per year of maintaining the institution
is about $4,000, which is exclusive of
money expended in securing new
books, labelling and cataloging them,
and getting them ready for shelving.
| These items are chargeable to the
assets.
In 1901 people paid 5s,4oS visits to the
| library and calculating on the basis
of $40, 200 year for maintenance the
| pro rata cost is shown to be approx
| imate1y 6S cents. However, such items
as binding, periodicals, books, letter
! ing and repairs are not taken into con-
sideration in this problem. If they
were, total expense of more than
$4,000 would be shown and the pro
rata cost would be corresponding in
creased.
| Students, however, are not disposed
| to consider the matter on this basis,
for they say the number of persons
who receive the benefit of their scien-
tific study must not be overlooked.
The number of visitors at the New
berry library during 1901, including the
| \
cost of maintenance was $37 900, max
ing the per capita expense about AZ
cents. The difference between the
number of visitors at the two institu-
tions is explained by the greater mum

CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AMI
CONFISCATED IN
NEW YORK.

Judge Clarke of st. Louis has con.
yicted and fined heavily number of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized a quantity
of stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from alum
mixed with ground rock, and dumped
it into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus TAX
ing effective means to prevent the in
PRODUCTION into our markets of in
furious substitutes in place of whole
some baking powders.
AS alum costs only two cents a
pound, there is great temptation for
those manufacturers who make SUBJ
stitutes and imitation goods to use it.
Alum baking powders can be detected
by the health authorities by chemical
ANALYSIS, but the ordinary housekeep-
er, whose assistance in protecting the
health of the people is important, can
not make chemical examination. She
may easily know the alum powders,
however, from the fact that they are
sold at from ten to twenty cents for a
pound can, or that some prize-lil1e a
spoon, or glass, or piece of crockery,
or wooden ware-is given with the
powder as an inducement.
AS the people continue to realize the
Importance of this subject and con-
sumers insist on having baking powder
of established name and character,
and as the health authorities continue
their vigorous crusades, the alum
danger will, it is hoped, finally be
driven from our homes.

In a letter written from 401 Sixty

Fleharty says the following in regard
to Peruna:
Having lived very active life as
wife and working partner of busy
minister, my health failed me few
years ago. / lost my husband about
the same time, and gradually seemed
to lose health and spirit. My daughter
is a,confrmed invalid, and we both felt
great need of an invigorator.
lone of my neighbors advised me
to try Peruna. A bottle was immedi-
afeIy secured and a great change took
place i'm my daughters as well as In

proved very greatly, the digestion
seemed much helped, and resffuI sleep

What used to be called female dis
eases by the medical profession is now
called pelvic catarrh. 1t has been
found by experience that catarrhal
diseases of the pelvic organs are the
cause of most eases of female disease.
DR.. Hartman was among the first of
Americas great physicians to make
this discovery. For forty years he has
been treating diseases peculiar to
women, and long ago he reached the
conclusion that woman entirely free
from catarrhal affection of these or
gans would not be subject to female
disease. He therefore began using Pc
runa for these cases and found it so
admirably adapted to their permanent
cure that Peruna has now become the
most famous remedy for female dis
eases ever known. Everywhere the
women are using it and praising it.
Peruna is not palliative simply; it
cures by removing the cause of female
disease.
DR.. Hartman has probably cured
more women of female ailments than
any other living physician. He makes
these cures simply by using and rec
ommending Peruna.
