it was too thick to see, the guide re-

making casks for the seal oil fishery.

Curious Facts Shown
By Divorce Statistics.

There are 10000 more divorced wo-
men than there are men in the United
States, the official figures being 1000
divorced men and 114,000 divorced
women. The disparity is accounted
for by the fact that men procuring
divorces or from whom divorces have
been procured more often remarry
than the women under like conditions.
The number of divorced men is
largest in Indiana. which has $500.
There are more than 1000 each in
California, Ohio, Michigan. Indiana,
New York and Pennsylvania Texas
has $500 and Massachusetts $500.
South Carolina, the only state which
has no law authorizing or permitting
divorces, has 275 divorced men among
its residents, and South Dakota, a
state which has become noted by rea-
son of the facility with which divorce
is granted, has 563.
New Jersey has, proportionately, a
very small number. $50, and Kansas,

C. e. BoIes, Dealer In Grain and Feed;

Akron, Ohio-cured In 1896.
Mr.. Boies says: Ever since the
Civil War have had attacks of kid
ney and bladder trouble, decidedly
worse during the last two or three
years. Although l consulted physi-
clans, some of whom told me l was
,verging on Bright's disease. and was
continually using standard remedies,
the excruciating aching just across
the kidneys, which radiated to the
shoulder blades still existed AS might
be expected, when my kidneys were
in q disturbed condition there was
distressing and inconvenient difficulty
with the action of the kidney secre-
tions. A box of Doans Kidney Pills,
procured at Lamparter & Co.'s drug
store, brought such decided
change within week that l continued
the treatment. The last attack, and it
was particularly aggravated, disap-
ipeared."
Cure Confirmed Four Years After.
Four years later Mr.. Boies says: In
the spring of 1896 l made a public
statement Of my experience with
Doan's Kidney Pills. This remedy
cured me of terrible aching in the kid
neys, in the small of my back, in the
muscles of the shoulder blades, and
in the limbs. During the years that
have gone by can conscientiously
say there have been no occurrences of
my old trouble. My confidence in

SEA WATER A HEALTH DRINK.
Physicians Say an Occasional Mouth

full of Brine Is Most Salutary.
While 1t is fact swallowing of sea
water does not leave a very pleasant
taste in the mouth, and that some
consider such an experience as the
worst feature of sea bathing, yet ply
sicians agree that from a physical
standpoint the exercise of swimming
itself doesn't do you half as much
good as the occasional mouthful of
brine that you reluctantly imbibe. AS
sedative sea water Is probably I'M
equaled. 1t helps a sluggish liver and
weak kidneys and has most salu-
tary effect on a deranged stomach.
AS a complexion beautifier 1t outdoes
all the drugs and patent medicines
manufactured. Swallowing a mouth
full of sea brine will do more to change
rough and muddy complexion to a
smooth and healthy one than any
thing your beauty specialist will pre-
scribe.

the surest symptom of chronic bill

we can't all expect to have thin, sat

may undoubtedly be obtained by this
simple remedy. The disagreeable
