experience for the public good. Tes-
timony from such a source is the best
of evidence, and will prove a ''helping
hand" to scores OF readers. Read the
following statement:
VIM. Ragsdale, the well known har-
ness dealer, says; Before l went to
Buckner & Whitney's drug store for
Doan's Kidney Pills / had tried more
than one preparation guaranteed to
cure kidney complaint, but my efforts
were rewarded with very little success
For about three years the pain in my
back, just across the loins, added to
the irregularity Of the action OF the
kidney secretions, leI5 10 doubt that
my kidneys were either weakened or
o~yer-excited. After a dose Or two Of
Doan's Kidney Pills 1 knew they were
taking effect. A continuation OF the
treatment still further benefited and
and when | stopped using the remedy
the last attack disappeared

PAINE'S
COMPOUND
Has Proved a Blessing to ALI
Ranks and Conditions
of People in
Summer.
A Prominent and Popular Chi
cago Lady Restored to
Health.

The success Of Paine's Celery Com
pound in b~anishlng the ills and disease
that follow people into the summer
time has not been confined to any par
ticular class of society. Men esteemed
in business and professional life, me-
chanics, farmers, women leaders in So
ciety, and the wives and mothers Of
humble homes, have all by voice and
pen, contributed strong testimony in
favor of the medicine that restored
them to health and strength.
When Paine's Celery Compound is
used there is no more neuralgia, rheu-
matism, dyspepsia, stomach derange-
ments, liver or kidney troubles. The
blood once foul and stagnant, is made
fresh and pure, and courses with a
regularity that brings vigor and
happiness. The use OF n bottle is
often sufficient to establish a health
robust enough to combat the dangers
and perils that are common in hot
weather.
Mrs. A. T. Lermond, Chicago, ILL.,,
Corresponding Secretary Of the W. @.
II. u, tells of her complete restora-
tion to health through the use Of
Paine's Celery Compound. The great
medicine was prescribed by one OF
Chicago's ablest physicians. Mrs. Ler.
mond says:
"a few years ago / went through a
surgical operation. After being in
bed for four months, | was able to be
up, but was exceedingly weak and
and worn, nervous, and liable to SLEEP
or eat. Ny physician prescribed
Paine's Celery Compound and | al
once began to feel stronger. After
using a few bottle my health and
strength were completely restored and
l am glad to give this testimonial in
its favOr.n

Carnes Answers Queries

To the Editor Of the Ledger.
RUSH HILL, June Ill have re-
ceived a few more very important
questions, and with your permission l
will try to answer through your valu-
able paper. We we're not requested
to suppress the names Of the parties
asking these questions, but we will not
publish them without permission.
Question. Does a tin roof on a
house, painted or implanted, increase
or diminish its liability to be struck
by lightning?
Answer. A metal roof on a build
ing, painted or implanted, %unquestion-
ably increases its liability to be
struck by lightning. All metals, in
GLIDING tin, are good conductors Of
electricity, but the danger can be
avoided by properly connecting the
the metal roof with a system Of
lightning conductors to the earth.
Question. Are buildings on elevated
sites necessarily more exposed to dam
ger on that account?
Answer. Yes, in n sense only. A
building on elevated ground is nearer
the storm cloud than those on low
ground.
Question. Are properly erected rods
of good conducting material an abso-
Lutte protection?
We will answer this question in the
language Of Prof. Merriam, Of New
York. A faultless system Of conduc-
tors insures absolute protection.
Question. What is magnetism and
what is the difference, if any, between
magnetism and electricity
Answer. Magnetism is the cleo
tricity Of the earth, and is charaster-
lied by the circulation of electricity
passing through the earth's surface.

A. Lake.

The East Lake Fishing Club, who
have a perpetual lease on the G. g. A.
lake and all railroad property abut-
ting the water front have leased the
Lawder lands at the back Of the lake,
so, now, they have the lake entirely to
themselves, even when the water is at
its highest.
The club Is arranging to restock the
lake with several thousand fish and
are going to fully enforce the rights OF
their lease, which precludes all tres
passing by non-members. This, Of
course, includes, fishing, boating,
swimming on the lake or picnicking on
It banks.
The O. s. A., since the drouth of
last year, has raised the outlet dam 2
feet, thereby making several acres
more Of water surface and making
much more deep water in the lake.
This insures a liberal amount of water
at all times.
