It has been estimated that between s, ,00O,s
900 and la,OO0,0O0 persons in the United
States take vacation every summer. IheY
spend between $40O,OUO,0OO and 5OO,OOO,-
OUO yearly in pursuit OF pleasure. This is q.
great deal Of money to spend during va
cation, but this season the expenditure per
capita may be somewhat less on account Of
the low railroad rates offered by the Chica-
20, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway
From July to 10 this line will sell tickets
to Colorado and return from Chicago for
$25. This will enable many to enjoy their:
summers outing at slight expense. Colo

A Sensational Case.

Alston, Mich, May 25th.-Houghton
County has never witnessed a more strik-
ing medical case than that of Mr.. James
Culet OF this place.
Mr.. Culet had spent small fortune with
the best physicians in the county and in
addition to this he has tried every. medicine
he could hear of.
He had very bad case of Rheumatism
and Kidney Trouble, from which he had
suffered for twenty years. Nothing ne
could get seemed to do him any good, and
he was gradually growing worse.
He has no Rheumatism now and explains
it thus:
zone day I happened to see an advertise
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills and decided to
try them.
II made up my mind to give them good
fair trial, as my case was very W ,tma baa one

truthfuly say that they have driven out
