For AGED People.


Bellflower, Mo-, July 6th.-Mr. G. ".
Bohrer of this place has written an
open letter to the old men and wOm-
en- of the country, advising them to
use Dodd's Kidney Pills as a remedy
for those forms of Kidney Trouble SO
common among the aged. Mr.. Bohr-
er says:
Il suffered myself for years with
my Kidneys and urinary organs. 1

seven or eight times during the
night.

1t had been understood by the Dixon
and the Taylor families, and by most
of the people for five miles around,
for that matter, that Tom Dixon and
Bessie Taylor became engaged as they
were riding home together from the
county fair in October. The exact
date and exact circumstances of such
things are always of vital interest to
an agricultural community
1t was a match that pleased both
families, as Tom was a fine young far
mer, and Bessie smart girl of nine
teen, who could have had the pick OF
half a dozen.
The marriage was not to take place
for a year, and the course of true love
ran smooth until December Then
Bessie Taylor suddenly exercised the
prerogative of her sex.
Tom was too sure of her, and he
must be made to understand that his
bird was not yet Gagged.
There was to be a spelling bee at
the red school house. He and Bessie
would go, of course. AS both of them
were accounted among the best SPELL
ers in the community, it was probable
that they might be asked to choose
sides.
1t was unfortunate for Tom that he
forgot to say that he would drive up
to Taylor's at a certain hour for Bes-
sic. He meant to, and he had no
doubt that she would be ready, but
the matter slipped his mind, and when
the evening finally arrived, he got out
of his cutter at the door, only to be
told that Bessie had been gone half
an hour.
More than that, she had gone with
a windmill man who was canvassing
the neighborhood and stopping at her
fathers house.
Tom Dixon was stunned. Here was
coQuetry, treachery, deceit. 1t didn't
occur to him that Bessie felt piqued
over his neglect and wanted to "get
even" in the only way open to her.
Neither could be know that she had
told the windmill man that her old
beau would probably escort her home.
He gasped-he muttered-he swore
Then he got into his cutter and put
the whip to his horse and sent the ami
NAL over two miles of smooth road ON
. dead run.
His first idea was to kill that wind
mill man on sight, his second was to
kill the pair Of deceivers, his third
was to blow hts own brains out and
die the death of a martyr. Then he
happened to get fourth idea, and he
adopted it and stuck to it.
He entered the schoolhouse with his
Jaw set and q firm resolve to make a
certain person repent in sackcloth and
ashes. Bessie Taylor was there, but
he saw her not. The windmill man
was there. but he was too Insignificant
for a second glance.
The homliest girl for six miles
around was there. having hired her
brother to bring her. and Tom walked
straight up to her, and began to laugh
and giggle aud flatter.
Worse was soon to come. It hap
pened that he was chosen to lead one

BABY WEATHER.

lays.
Mothers should know exactly what
food to give babies in hot weather.
With the broiling hot days in July
and August the mother of a baby Is
always anxious for the health of her
little one and is then particularly care
full in feeding. Milk sours quickly and
other food is uncertain. Even in spite
of caution, sickness sometimes creeps
in and then the right food is more nee
essary than ever.
"Our baby boy two years old began
in August to have attacks of terrible
stomach and bowel trouble. The phys
ician said his digestion was very bad
and that if it had been earlier in the
summer and hotter weather we would
surely have lost him.
FINALLY we gave baby Grape-Nuts
food, feeding it several times the first
day and the next morning he seemed
better and brighter than he had been
for many days. There was a great
change in the condition of his bowels
and in three days they were entirely
normal. He is now well and getting
very strong and feshy and we know
that Grape-Nuts saved his life, for he
was q very, very i'll baby. Grape-Nuts
food must have wonderful properties

be understood that the match was OF
for good.
March came in. Mr.. Dixon had 200
sugar naples in his woods, and there
was sugar making every spring.
On the night of the fifth he gave .
"sugar-off" party to half dozen
young fellows and their girls, and, of
course, Bessie heard of it.
Tom heard that she heard of II, and
also that she said she never could see

woods and Gazing maple wax of a

ance a wesk later. This time, she had
no remarks to make. and he felicitated
himself that he had made her feel
real bad.
Three or four days after his second
party Mrs. Taylor said to her daugh-
ter:
Bessie, I've got a great yearning
for a taste of new maple sugar. and
il it wasn't for my sore heel. I'd go
over to Dixon's bush and ask Tom
for some"
and what a goose you'd make of
yourself" snapped Bessie.

mad at him.
But you ought to be. You should
not stand up for any one who has
acted as mean as he has"
No, mebbe not, but perhaps you
were a little bit to blame. I'd like
some new maple sugar. as 1 was say
ing, and next to that I'd like two or
three leeks to eat with bread and but
ter. The leeks must be coming up in
the woods now, and I can fairly taste
'em. If father wasn't so busy to-day.
I'd have him go down in the woods
and look for some"
Bessie made no reply, but an hour
later. when the mother happened to
look out of the kitchen window and
saw her climbing the pasture fence
and making for the woods, she said to
herself:
Our woods and the Dixon's woods
join and If leeks and maple sugar
don't get together, it won't be my
fault"
Bessie reached the home woods and
began to look for leeks. Here and
there one was beginning to sprout, but
she passed them by and went further.
BY and by she came to the line fence
dividing the farms. The leeks on the
other side looked bigger. and, after a
long look between the rails, she
climbed over. Yes. the leeks were
bigger.
She had pulled three or four and
was still wandering along. when she
