MILK As POISON.
When Exposed to Impurities u 10 %
Deadly 40 Drugs.

II have sometimes wondered" said
an analyst, with a touch Of satire,
why some Of the famous poisoners OF
the past took SO much trouble over
their deadly drugs when they might
have chosen milk with the same r.
suits.
milk when pure IL harmless
enough. but It is strange what pains
people take to make II poisonous.
They expose It TO all manner Of impur.
tiles until It IL perfect culture bed of
bacteria.
"As a promoter Of indigestion. milk
Is almost without a rival. People take
Il with Ice in summer, with the result
Of rendering 'ertain elements In Il
more indigestible than leather. They
take II with acid fruits. q combination
that would try the digestion Of rhi-
noceros. Some have even been known
TO try pickles In milk. q simply fatal
mixture to any but cast iron digestion.
and one from the effects Of which
people have died.
USED as beverage, milk should b
taken by itself. and drunk slowly,
without admixture with anything ex-
cept perhaps water. Unless II is quite
new It is safer to boil it."-Casssll's

Fifty Dollars TO slt Down.

Carmel, Ind. Dec. 16th.-Ar. joseph
L. Duffey relates an experience that
has aroused considerable interest In
tn.s locality. It is best given In his
own words:
When I was working In the Aelds," !"
says Mr.. Duffey, Il would be ready to
quit, but ! could not get to the house,
] was 30 weak. II was worth nfty
dollars to get to sit down.
II had no strength and q person
without strength is not Of much use.
But bless the Lord I took four
boxes Of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they
gave me health, strength and appe.
lite.
II might say I am cured, but win
keep on taking Dodd's sidney Pills.
Yes. IN get them II It takes the last
thing on the farm"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have effected
quite q pumDer Of other cures here
and II seems safe to say they are an
effective and permanent cure for all
diseases arising from the Kidneys.

Ones Ways Of Di rlbuting His Limbs
Before Going to Sleep.

There are few persons who can tell
off-hand just what positions they as.
sumo to invite sleep, and yet there ia
not an individual in the world who
has some trick Of distributing limbs
and trunk to insure slumber's blissful
spell which he practiced unconscious.
ly.
This Is an invariable habit, as per.
petual and immutable under normal
conditions as the succession OF the
seasons.
No sooner are We really of to thu
Land OF Nod than the habit asserts IT,
dominion. Our hands and arms seel
the same parts Of the bed or the sam,
portions OF our bodies upon whicl
they have nightly rested since In
fancy, our feet and legs stretch at the
same angles or loosely entwine In
comfortable relaxation, as commanded
by unconscious will.
It is seldom OF our own deliberate
volition that we place our bodies IN
position for sleep, as you will find to
night on going to bed II you remember
these words. In truth. II you do no;
seek to combat the instincts. you will
be surprised at the dispositions Of the
various members involuntarily made.
II you endeavor to 60 to sleep by q
new arrangement Of the body you will
also be surprised by the revolt against
slumber which will surely ensue; but
even before the struggle IL we'll begun
you will probably surrender. and per
NIT the all-masterful night habit tc
reinstate those little details Of posi-
ton which long practice has made
necessary to your comfort.--Cassell's
