ARE you SUBJECT TO
3 ACK AC II E +?
Backache is Usually a Symptom or
Manifestation of Some Real
Disease or Weakness.
Diseases Most Commonly Causing
Rackache Are Kidney Troubles,
Liver Complaints and Special
Forms Of rheumatism.

Backache should be cured. not only
because of the discomfort attending II
but on account of the more or less ser
ious condition that lies behind 1t.
There is one remedy that is fea
cure for backache. 1t appears to make
very little difference what the cause
for the backache goes away after tax
ing DR.. Fenner's Kidney and Backache
Cure. So say those who know.
Had rheumatism in my back and
hips. Scarcely able to walk and pain
so severe at night could not sleep.

great. After taking 8 bottles OF DR..
Fenner's Kidney and Backache Cure
have completely recovered and have
not been troubled with it since" Geo.
Dspenlister, Sand Hill, Mich.
Afflicted with kidney disease I en-
ployed the most experienced doctors
but obtained no permanent relief and
began to think there was little hope
for me- / began the use of DR.. Fenners
Kidney and Backache Cure. my diges-
ton improved, the soreness left my
sides and back, and I took on healthy
muscle and flesh. Two bottles COM
pletely cured me-" T. II. Johnson.
Busti, N. Y.
Who's opinion should be entitled to
MS much consideration as that of one
who speaks from personal experience?
What a remedy has done for others
it is reasonable to expect it will do
for anyone like afflicted.
DR.. Fenners Kidney and Backacha
Cure is for sale at drug stores in two
sizes--50- and dollar bottles. If
your druggist is out of it he will get
it for you if you ask him to. Accept
no substitute. There is no medicine
like it" or Just as good" for backache
and kidney trouble-none that can take
its place and do its work. Get the
genuine medicine and you will find Ii
a true and satisfactory cure.

time His teacher had noticed that he

and the boy was fast getting behind
with his studies. He also had some
pain.
A grain of corn was found in each
ear and was removed only with great
difficulty as, on~accouns of the mois-
ture, the seed had swollen and had act
ually sprouted. There was little won-
der that the boy could not head. Con-
siderable damage had been done to the

Exposition Library Committee is Given
Full Authority.

Des Moines, March 16.-The expo
sition committee of the State Library

thority to prepare the library exhibit
for Iowa at the st. Louis Exposition.
The committee consists of Johnson
Brigham, state librarian: Miss Free
man, librarian at Davenport, and Miss
McCrory, librarian at Cedar Rapids.
Miss MeCrory is to get married and it
is probable that Miss Tyler. secretary
of the state library commission. will act
in her place on the committee The
plan is to have an exhibit showing the
various library buildings in the state
and models of libraries of different
values pictures of many of the best
libraries and statistical information.
The library movement has been making
great progress in recent years in Iowa
and now there are so many libraries
I'm the state that a separate exhibit
will be made of this. Senator Trewin,
chairman of the chairman of the COM
nlittee on educational exhibits, has
placed the entire matter in the hands
of the library association committee.

fABLE AND TOILET WARES.

In the Dinner Service.
One of the marked features Of the
present is the use in table and toilet
wares of metals other than th7 white.
Right royal has been the road of
FURNISHED copper to favor. Its rich hue
strikes the eye strongly; its soft luster
strengthens the first pleasing impress
sion. In its splendid color there is a
depth and yet delicacy that arrests
and holds the fancy.
FURNISHED copper with silver orna-
ment appears in vases, desk and sDok-
ing sets, tankards and range, umbrella
handles ard nunlberless small things,
but the new combination is handsomest
on the toilet table. Imagine Vatican
plaque In gray silver enlivened and
warmed with q decorative frame Of
shining copper, the Whole forming the
back Of a hand mirror. Silver deposit
work in copper is most effective.
Silver gilt is also now much used and
tive objects, but enriches all sorts Of
table silver from spoons to complete
tea sets.
The small and odd wares Of the table
offer much novelty. Here for elegant
service are the ramequins of decorated
French porcelain set into pierced sill
YER frame, with the one long side han
die aractexistic Of the crudeE proto-
type, and there are silver entree dishes
with ears and cover resting upon a
ANAL plate.
Bouillon cups of decorated china in
silver frames with loving cup handles
form a charming array.
Peculiarly attractive are slender choc-
olate cups Of French porcelain deco
rated in pink and provided with frames
whose base of pierced silver is square
instead of the usual circle.
Quite pleasing wrinkle for the host

hall were filled by old women very Sc

of dock hands Their wives, some of
them in charge of three babies apiece,
were all over the room. The girls came
in huge feathered hats and yelled high
pitched witticisms to the gangs Of
young hooligans whose one desire
seemed to be to wreck the show. In
decd they contributed even more audi
bly, to the entertainment than did the
performers, while the clergy who pa
trolled up and down seemed on excel
lent terms with everybody. but quite
powerless to control good part OF the
audience.
Somebody opened with piano solo.
Really people might have more sense
than to choose Chopin nocturne for
such an audience. The pianist was
twice told to Ego and get an organ"
There was shout for some tune I'M

at the first deep notes OF his instru-

tible effect on irritable BERTHE, there
were general offers to attend his funer-

About 10 O'Clock there came rap on
the back door, and Mr. Smith, who was

at the suddenness and the loud manner
in which the door was struck. 1t

Mr.. Smith then started back to the
other part OF the house, when he hap
pened to look around and there on the
doorstep he saw a basket, such as is
commonly used to deliver groceries or
goods in, and supposed some delivery
man, who was out lac and in a hurry
to get home, and had not waited for
anyone to answer the rap had hurried
off. He was quickly made aware of
his ERROR. A noise came from the bas-
ket The bundle was unwrapped and
found to contain a baby boy about three
weeks old The child was an unusually
pretty one, and was very we'll dressed.
