My little boy had Dropsy. Two doc

to have seen him anyone else would have
said they were right. His feet and limbs
were swollen SO that he could not walk
nor put on his shoes.
When the doctors told me he would
surely die, [ stopped giving him their med
icine and began giving him Dodd's Kidney
Pills. | gave him three pills day and at
the end of eight days the swelling was all
gone, but as | wanted to be sure, kept on
with the pills for some time, gradually re-
ducing the quantity, till finally I stopped
altogether.

child's life. Before using them he was
a helpless invalid in his mothers arms

The little war that was started
against the beef trust in the United
States a year or two ago has Sc
quel in England now. The American
combine is to be fought by scheme
which proposes to fatten Irish cattle
on English farms. This is not a very
promising project, however. It is as
sailed by the circumstance that there
are neither Irish cattle nor English
farms enough to affect the beef sup

A conservative estimate places the
wheat crop of 1908 at total of 74O,-
100000 bushels, as compared with
67O, 900 in 1902, 74S,OOO,oo in 1901
and 522, 100000 in 1900. This is very
happy condition and will please the
country. With such a heavy wheat
yield as 74o,OOO,OOO bushels the coun-
try would be assured of cheap bread,
but, of course, a great deal will de-
pend on the corn crop which has to
be reckoned with.

President Roosevelt, like all other
good Americans, is Mortified at the
anti-semitic atrocities in Russia. 1t
should be borne in mind, however,
that our government can do much less
toward their abatement than many
of our people would like. Russia is
an independent nation. Neither the
United States nor any other country
has any right to interfere in Russia's
home politics, and this country has
not been backward in promulgating
the doctrine

East st. Louis seems determined to
profit, instead of suffering permanent
loss, from the flood experience of
1903, and is already figuring on the
construction of a rock-ballasted levee
system that shall hereafter effective
ly protect the American Bottom dis
trict against high water. This is the
right spirit, and there could be no
more convincing proof of East ST.
Louis enterprise and energy.
