1t will be remembered that some time
ago the particulars of Mr.. Remers' case
were published in these columns. He had
been very low with Diabetes. Physicians
could do nothing to save him and he grew
worse and worse till some one recommended
Dodd's Kidney Pills. A treatment of this
,emedy was begun and when eight boxes
h2d been taken Mr.. Remers began to see an
improvement which continued as the treat
lnent proceeded till he was completely re-
stored.
He has since enjoyed perfect health and.
Is as robust and able man as any in Lancas-

Many people wrote to me when the story
of my case was first printed and some write

The Virginia house of delegates
has passed law prohibiting factory
labor for children under IL, and reg

Out of 10000 children whom .

A new process for drying fruit and
vegetables-already in use for drying
hops-consists in drawing air
through a gridwork of steam pipes
into a chamber below the slotted
floor holding the materials to be
dried. Absorption of sulphurous
gases Is avoided, while burning is i'm
possible. In test at Worcester,
England, samples of carrots, pota-
toes, sliced and shredded apples, and
other fruits and vegetables, were
kept at temperatures of 80 degrees
to 100 degrees for six hours, reaching
the ordinary commercial state of
dryness. The cost of working being
small, it is expected that an impor-
tant new industry will soon develop
in England.

THE AMERICAN HOSTESS.
Her Method of Receiving Guests IL
Preferable to That Of Her
English Sister.

Commenting upon the American
practice of having the hostess at re-
ceptions assisted in receiving and en-
tertaining her guests by a number of
friends, an Englishwoman says that
the fashion is one that might well be
copied in her country, reports London
paper. "In England" she says, mo
matter how large party may be, all
the guests are on the qui vive until they
have found the hostess. They give
scanty attention to any friends they
may meet; they dare not have tea or
settle down into a comfortable talk un-
til they have reported themselves, as
it were, to their superior officer. First
find your hostess is the unvarying rule
of English etiquette, although she is
too busy when found to do anything
more than shake hands with mechan-
ical smile. She remains firmly fixed by
the doorpost at the head of the stairs
as long as she can bear it, so that her
guests may get their greeting off their
minds as soon as they come. Now. the
American plan is quite different. When
hostess gives alarge crush over there
she invites two or three of her friends
or relatives to act as deputy hostesses.
They stop the whole afternoon, devot-
ing themselves to looking after visit
ors, effecting introductions, offering re-
freshments and generally promoting
the enjoyment of others. They are
easily known, the outward and visible
sign of the assistant hostess lying in
the fact that she is without any hat or
bonnet. One of these women often
relieves the hostess for awhile by
standing by the door to receive, so that
the latter can give little individual
attention to those she wants to say a
word to. The American guest hopes to
see his hostess later on, but he does
not worry until he does see her. Our
own system has its good side in the
Importance it gives to the mistress of
the house, but there is something to
be said for the American plan ON the
grounds of comfort"

1t was a Maine girl of whom the story is
told that she refused to marry most de-
voted lover until he had amassed fortune Of

three months after this the vivacious young
lady, meeting her lover, asked:

A PLEASANT MEMORY.

When the last goodnights are spoken.
And there fingers on my lips.
Through the silence dim unbroken.
Just touch of fingertips:
Just a touch of baby fingers
AS the night comes softly down,
As faint caress that fingers
While the shadows turn to brown.
Then pray that you'll remember,
Through the years that come and go,
How the fires fast fading ember,
Sinking to cozy glow,
Found you nigh:se-robed a.1 huddled
To your mothers loving breast,
Closely wrapped and warmly snuggled,

viii was but boy, but he was a Law

CAUSE OF SUDDEN DEATHS.



In almost every daily paper are to be
seen several announcements that
somebody has died suddenly. These
: sudden deaths are more liable to be
men than women. Mr.. So-and-So fell
dead on the street or in his Office while
writing letters or preparing sermon
or doing something or other. Found
dead in his room" is becoming very
common headline. Generally some
thing is said about the heart. Some
vague insinuation that the heart was
not acting properly, but, as rule, no
explanation which is really rational is
furnished, says Medical Talk for the
Home.
They have become serious matter
these sudden deaths have. What is
the trouble with our men--strenuous
business men-that they are falling
dead like flies in frosty weather? Is
1T the strenuous life they live? Is it
the late hours and midnight suppers
they are indulging in? Is it the Gig
arettes they are smoking? The whisky
they are drinking? Is it the want of
physical exercise? Or is it all of
these combined?
1t is wellknown fact that the heart
is a muscle. If the muscles of the body
are allowed to become flabby, the heart
also becomes f1abby. A fabby heart
may be trusted to pump the blood
through the system ordinarily, but a
sudden fright or emergency, sudden
expenditure of energy, as in running
up steps, or any unusual exercise, is
liable to overpower the heart. 1t sud-
denly stops and the man falls dead.
Tobacco tends to produce a fabby
heart Whisky tends to produce en-
iargement of the heart. Lazy, indolent
habits weaken the heart and thin the
ventricles. That man who indites edit
orials, dictates letters, but takes no
muscular exercise is in danger of fall
ing dead. The life insurance man bet
ter steer clear of him. 1t is of vastly
more Importance to know what his
habits are with reference to physical
exercise than to know whether his
grandmother died of heart disease, or
his grandfather had rheumatism. The
doctor might great deal better inter-
view his wife and discover exactly how
the man behaves himself, than to exam
inc the blood for microbes or the urine
for urate crystals.
1t man must be strenuous, let him
be strenuous all around. He should take
little strenuous physical exercise
every day, as well as strenuous mental
work. 1t is even dangerous to neglect
to take daily physical exercise. Fatty
degeneration is killing more men to-
day than smallpox. With all the hula
baloo about pest-houses and vaccina-
ton quarantine and medical boards,
our country is nat in half as much dan
ger from the ravages of smallpox as it
Is from the deteriorating, disintegrat-
ing influence of physical laziness.

The Saving
OF Will
By CHARLES WILKES.

nLD Gen. Lawrence was the proud
est man in all the commonwealth.
Coming from long line of distin-
guished ancestors, every generation of
whom had stamped TIE impress of
their personality upon the public life
of their day, with direct progenitors
who had figured as leaders in the In
dian wars of the colonists, signers of
the articles of copfederation, and the
declaration of independence, soldiers
in the war of the revolution, 1912, and
with Mexico, and distinguished states
men in the halls of legislation and the
counsels of the nation; added to this
splendid record as an officer in the
great war of the rebellion-all these
things combined to give the old soldier
a pride of family and self and bear
ing which, while it may have been at
times a trife trying to the more DEM
ocratic of his neighbors, was admitted
by all to be to great degree both
natural and legitimate.
Hardly less proud and exclusive than
the old general was his aristocratic
wife, for the Lawrences had ever been
mindful of their position in contract
ing matrimonial alliances and the
bluest blood in the state had been
passed to their children. The posi-
tion of the Lawrences was freely ac-
knowledged by their neighbors and the
community took kind of reflected
pride in them.
Realizing all this the reader will
imagine the shock it was to the old
general and his good wife when his
second son, Will, wrote him from Cuba
that he was about to take unto him
self as wife dark-hued daughter of
that island. 1t had been with the
greatest satisfaction that the old gen.
eral had seen viii start away in the
uniform of a second lieutenant of vol
unteers at the outbreak of the Span
ish-American war. Charles, the eldest
son, was in Europe on a combined mis-
sion of business and health, both of
which would have been seriously i'm
periled by his immediate return, and
for some weeks the general had fumed
himself nearly sick at the prospect of
an American war in which one of his
immediate family was not represent
ed. He had been proud indeed when
Will, only lad of 20, had come to him
and announced his determination to
go to the front, together with the in
formation that he had been elected a
second lieutenant in regiment or

Labor Peace Lies in Arbitration
By w. H. BALDWIN, DR.,
President Of the Long Island Railroad.

The number of persons affected by strikes
in the United States has been increased in the
last 20 years, and the labor organizations are
held responsible for this discord. Strikes are
impossible without sorie organization of labor,
and if strikes are to continue, labbor must be
highly. organized. Strikes are more numerous
in trades that are organized than in trades that
are not organized, and there is no power that
can prevent such organization. When the
employer has tried to prevent such organiza-
ton, it has helped rather than retarded it.
Older organizations tend toward conser-
vatism, and as the unions become older strikes
grow less frequent That is because EMPLOYERS
