A PROMINENT CHURCH WORKER SAYS
SHE OWES HER LIFE TO PE=RlJNA.
HER GREAT FORTUNE.
A Woman Saved From Lifelong
Misery and Made Happy
and Useful.

A woman confined to the house for
several years with chrome 1emale
arrangement had finally given up hope
of being cured
She had tried physician after physl-
clan, and remedy after remedy, without
any permanent Improvement.
Her treatment had cost her husDand
who was poor man, hundreds OF DOL
lars They had been Obliged to deny
themselves many comforts or lie In
order to get money enough to pay the
physicians.
The woman had become weak, nervous
and wretched, and scarcely able to keep
out of her bed Her children were
growing up neglected and ragged, be-
cause of the want of mothers care.
Her husband was becoming discouraged
and broken down with overwork.
Picking up the paper one day she nap
pened to read an item which contained
the news that Dr. Hartman would treat
such cases free of charge by letter. she
Immediately wrote the doctor describing
her case, and giving him all her symp-
toms.
| She soon received letter telling her
exactly what to do, and what medicines
and appliances to get. She began the
treatment (the principal remedy being
Peruna) at once, and in few weeks she
was well and strong again, able to DO
her own work.
This offer Of free home treatment to
women is still open to all who may neeG
the services of this eminent physician.
All letters applying for treatment will
be promptly answered, and be nelu
strictly confidential.

How to Fatten Turkey..

Turkeys, if taken Alright, are easily
fattened, in fact easier than any other
fowls. But one must go at 1t in the
right way. If the turkeys have had a
free range all summer, you cannot fat
ten them with any satisfaction in an in
closure. The change will cause them
to fret and refuse to eat, and thus you
lose instead of gaining. Teach them to
come up at regular intervals, and then
stuff them. You will soon find them
ranging at short distances and coming
up even between feeding times.-Mid-

How to Make One That Purffies the

A simple filtering arrangement for a
cistern is made by inclosing the bot
tom of the suction pipe in chamber
built of soft brick or filtering stone.
Its capacity may be 20 to 30 gallons,
and is built round to give strength.
The cistern should be so arranged that
the bottom of the cistern and sides of
filtering chamber can be cleaned oc-
casionally, and in this way these filters
give good satisfaction No cistern
should be without one, unless there is

A BOY IN BATTLE.
Old Soldier Relates His Impressions
When a Youth of Thfrteep
in the Union Army.

81 was only Is years and three
months old when fought in the battle
Of Chickamauga, but 1 have not for
gotten my experiences of that great
event in the history of the country"
said John c. White, who served for
20 years as soldier and only recently
left the Sixteenth United States infan-
try, to Chicago Inter-Ocean man.
"On the afternoon preceding the bat
tle,' Mr.. White continued, "our regi-
ment, with the other regiments COM
posing the Regular Bridge, Rousseau's
division, Fourteenth corps, was about
Is miles from Chattanooga. In the
evening there was light rainfall. 1t
was chilly, but we could have no fires.
Soon after shutdown we began our
march. 1t was deathly quiet march,
only the sound of the tramping break
ing the silence. At morning we reached
Crawfish Springs, but did not stop long.
We stopped at the Widow Glenn's
house long enough to make coffee, and
then, tired, our feet blistered and hun
cry, we went on. Something-hunger
or pain-told me to break ranks and
seek tree, but duty and fear kept me
in line.
'The regiment hadn't gone far when
l was ordered to report to Maj Cool

me. / went to him. He took me to the
side of the road, took from his pocket
letter, and told me to give it to Lieut.
Hotsinkellar, the officer in charge of
the wagon train.
GAS he had repeatedly done this
since leaving Murfreesboro, I thought
it to be a trick to get me out of dam
ger, for was but mere lad. I star
ed away with the letter, but .die not
go toward the wagon train. J turned
into the woods and afterwsrd found
my way back to the rear of my regi-
ment. We halted at jays Mill, but
were soon ordered into field densely
covered with fine underbrush. We had
not gone more than 500 feet when we
were greeted with terrific volley, and
this was followed by hard firing into
both TANKS, We had been ambushed
and more than two-thirds of our regi-
ment were killed, wounded or captured.
| Our commander Major Coolidge, who
| had told me to go to the rear, was
killed at the first firing.
81 was within the enemy's lines, but
did not know it. Crawling along with
the others, managed to reach the
slowly retreating column. I felt home

we had drifted below the city. We al
lowed the current to drive us several
miles below the city-in fact, as far down
as / wanted to go, for knew exactly
where the confederate soldiers were
camped. We pulled into a small bayou
and started to tie up.
Suddenly squad of men swooped
down on us and placed us under arrest.
Then they began to unload the boat. The
merchant did not seem to care so much
about the $4,000 worth of goods he had in
the yawl and which the soldiers had con-
ffscated. He told me we were In great
danger of being shot, but consoled him
by saying would fix up a scheme to es-
cape
That night squad was named to
watch us until daylight. About three a.

the soldiers were sound asleep and we
could now get away. At first he was

federate soldiers and not to hurt and
harm the merchant"

The MCBRIDE Case Asafa.

st. John, Kan, Oct. 26.-Mr. and Mrs
William Mcbride and Jesse l.. Lines, M.
D., have gone before Mr.. George E.
Moore, Notary Public, and have sworn
and subscribed to written statements con
tirming the story of the awful illness and
subsequent cure of the little son of Mr..
and Mrs. Mcbride.
DR.. Lines is particularly emphatic In
his statement, and there does not now
seem to be any room for doubt as to the
fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills, and moth
ing else, saved the little boy.
He was so bad that he had Epileptic
spells which seized him with increasing
frequency. He was semi-paralyzed in the
right side, and his mind was badly af-
fected.
In their sworn statement, Mr.. and Mrs.
Mcbride say:
"The very day we began to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills our boy had twenty,,seven of
rnese Epileptic spells or fits. In less than
a week he ceased having them entirely"
The case has caused great sensation
in the neighborhood. The sworn state
ments have confirmed the whole story.

GOOD TEETH DoN'Ts.
MOlars Need Same Care as the Conn
pIexiOn and should Receive
Constant Attention.

Don't think you can be a beauty with
out good teeth, says the Washington
Star.
Don't bestow less care upon the
teeth than upon complexion and hair.
Don't stand up when brushing the
teeth. The duty is certain to be per-
formed much more thoroughly and
carefully when sitting and at ease.
Don't brush across the teeth, but up
and down; the upper teeth from the
gums downward, and the lower teeth
from the gums upward.
Don't thinR one toothbrush enough.
Three are needed. One should be rath-
er hard and one moderately soft, while
the third should be small and round.
Do not GO to bed without brushing
the teeth, for it is at night, when the
tongue is in repose, that the acid Of
the saliva gets in its work on the
teeth.
Don't; sleep with the mouth open.
Dust and gritty particles floating in
the atmosphere enter the trap thus set
for them, and injure the enamel by
irritation.
Don't let tartar accumulate on the
teeth, for it brings whole train of
evils in it's wake. Have It removed by
dentist at least twice a year.
Don't use tooth powder which con-
tains gritty, acid or irritating SUBJ
stances, as the first two act injurious
ly on the teeth, and the last on the
gums.
Don't fail to rinse the teeth thor
oughly with an alkaline wash after
taking acids, such as lemon juice, vine
gar or strong medicines.
Don't swallow food without masti-
cation. Modern cookery, by making
mastication almost unnecessary, is re-
sponsible for much decay of the teeth.
Don't use one side of the mouth only
when eating, for then the teeth have
not all the same amount of exercise,
and decay sets in more rapidly on one
side than the other.
Don't crack nuts or bite thread with
the teeth.
Don't fail to ponder occasionally on
these facts:
That without good teeth there can
not be thorough mastication.
Without thorough mastication there
cannot be perfect digestion.
Without perfect digestion there can
not be proper assimilation.
Without proper assimilation there
cannot be nutrition.
Without nutrition there cannot be
health.
Without health what is life worth?
Hence, the paramount importance Of
good teeth.

If Miss See had to deal with crowd

Mvered In Smooth Bwt
Telling Manner.

1t is my belief that every blessed
one of us really enjoys the denoue-
ment of a melodrama, not Sc much
because virtue triumphs, but because
villainy is crushed. Personally, 1
know that 1 prefer seeing a rude
ness properly rebuked, to seeing it
turned aside by gentle word, and
play in which the villain is dis
armed of the stage is as nothing to
me, says a writer In the Washington
Post. l speak of this because l saw
snub given and so royalty returned
in the parlor of fashionable hotel
here in town, that the old Adam
within me had a half days inning.
Before the open fire sat richly
dressed woman who was used to
speak often and long of the ways
things are done ION the other side"
an expression, by the way, that al
ways makes me think of the way
some people order their eggs fried
though we VOTED well, those of us
who VOTED about it at all, that she
was from the west, and had been
abroad for the last two years. In a
corner near the lady sat her daugh-
ter, learning a new lace-stitch from
an inoffensive little woman who
doesn't even complain when her
room isn't done up till four in the
afternoon, and clean towels are for
gotten for two days running. A
loud-voiced and rough-mannered, but
true-gentleman-at-heart kind of a
man came into the room and shouted
out:
"Good morning, everybody" and
then, not finding the friend he
sought, went out again. Said the
lady who knows all about the "other
side," in French, to her daughter:
"Ask madam there who that inn
possible, vulgar person 'is."
/ The daughter translated the ques-
tion into English, for neither daugh-
ter nor mother wished to offend the
other woman in case the impossible
person should prove to be a friend
of hers, by speaking of him as vulgar
in tongue she could understand.
"Who is that gentleman who Just
left the room?" asked the daughter.
The other woman made her answer
in French, as bef1tted one who was
wroth and had moreover spent four
years in Paris.
"It is man from the west" said
she. Impossible, perhaps, but good
of heart, and by no means vulgar"
Then, being perfectly human and
mad as wet hen, she added, in the
same language:
"One finds many persons like that
from the west"

SURE CURE FOR TYPHUS.
Picked Cabbage Juice - Providing
the Patient BE Not
GIazier.

At a recent session of the Pegasus
club, an organization composed ex-
clusively of poets, the talk turned to
medicine, and DR.. S. Weir Mitchell.
who is a novelist as well as a poet,
told this story, says the Boston
Post:
"There was once a physician who
was summoned hurriedly at midnight
to the house of an upholsterer. The
upholsterer had a bad attack Of
typhus fever, and was plainly dying.
Nevertheless the physician pre-
scribed for him, though he had no
hope of the mans recovery.
"The next morning he called at the
house again, expecting to find the up
holsterer corpse, but he found him,
instead quite well. He had recovered
as by a miracle.
"'How does this happen% the
physician asked, and the man re-
piled:
"'After you were gone. sir. was
seized with a violent thirst, and
drank a quart of picked cabbage
juice. Immediately l proceeded to
get better
Wonderful exclaimed the physi-
clan, and he wrote down in his note
book: 'Pickled cabbage juices cure
for typhus.'
"Later he was summoned to am
other typhus sufferer, and pre-
scribed, of course, the cabbage juice,
but this second man died.
"'What was our poor friends busi-
ness% he asked the widow, and she
said: He was a glazier.'

he amended his notebook so that it
read: Cabbage juice, cure for
