Gentlemen:
My case is so remarkable that want to
tell you all about it. 1 suffered from blad-
der trouble for about % years, and had
tried all the doctors about here, and also
two specialists in New York, without get
ting any help. Last August l bought
bottle of Cal-cura Solvent, DR.. Kennedy's
new medicine. had not been able to work
at my trade (boiler making) for some time,
but after taking one bottle of Cal-cura Sol
vent, began work and have been working
ever since. Cal-cura Solvent has done more
for me in month than all the doctors did
in 90 years, and / don't complain of the
doctors. Yours truly,
MARTIN FULLER.
Write to the Cal-cura Company, Kennedy
Row, Rondout, n. y, for free sample
bottle.
Remember: Only one DR.. David Ken
nedy ever lived in Rondout, City of Kings

and latest medicine, Cal-cura Solvent, sold
only in S1.O0 bottles.

CHOKING CATARRH CURED
Your Money Back if Hyomei Does Not
Cure You.

Your Money Back if Hyomei Does Not
Cure You.
"Use Hyomei and be cured of catarrh,"
is what all who have tried it for that
disease say to their friends.
1t is the easiest thing in the world to
stop catarrh at its beginning if you use
Hyomei. Just breathe the health-giving,
balsamic air for few minutes and your
catarrh will be cured.
In this city and neighboring towns,
there are hundreds who can testify to
the remarkable powers of Hyomei to
cure catarrh. Many of the staunchest
friends of this remedy to-day began its
use with little hope they would be cured,
but as w. H. Sheldon offered to refund
the money if it did not cure, they decided
to try it on that plan, and were soon
restored to health.

LIVE WITHOUT DRINKING.
Creatures Of the Desert Exist for
Long Periods on Dry Foods.

Long PERIODS on Dry Foods.
But other creatures than the camel
are able to get along for extended
periods without drinking. Sheep in
the southwestern deserts go for 40 to
60 days in winter without drink, graz
ing on the green, succulent vegeta-
ton Of that season. Peccaries in the
desert of Sonora live in little dry hills,
where there is no natural water, for
long periods. They cannot possibly
find water, in fact for months at a
time. The only moisture they can
obtain comes from roots and the fruits
of cacti.
But the most extraordinary case is
that of the pocket mouse, one of the
common rodents of the desert. This
little creature, by the way, has a gen.
uine fur-lined pocket" on the outside
of his cheek. When 1t is hungry it
takes food from this pocket with it's
paw, just as a man would pull ham
sandwich from his pocket
One of these mice has been kept for
three years with no other food than
the mixed birdseed Of commerce. Dur
ing this period 1t had not a taste Of
either water or green food. Other ex-
periments have found, in fact that
these mice IN captivity refuse such
treats, not seeming to know that
water Is good to drink. The birdseed
put before this mouse contained not
more than 10 per cent. of moisture
which Is less than is necessary for
Digestion Stuff so dry as this can
not even be swallowed until it is mois-
tened by saliva. Yet this remarkable
mouse gave nothing but his time to
the interests Of science. He suffered
nothing in health or spirits during
his captivity, The absolutely abb
stemiOus age" Of which Edward Lear
wrote is completely outclassed
The question is seriously raised
whether this mouse is provided with
a condensing apparatus by which it is
able to absorb moisture from the at.
mosphere. At night and in the bur-
rows the humidity is much higher than
IN the daytime above ground. but 1t
never reaches the dew point.-New

Waldersee it Is said that he proposed
to Princess NOer, who became his
wife. under the following circum-
stances The princess had been shop
ping and had a small parcel in her
hand when he met her, sauted and
turned around to accompany her to
the door of her residence. The prin-
cess held out the parcel to him. He
looked distressed She affected not
to understand why He reminded her
of the severe rule prohibiting military
men of every degree from carrying in
the streets parcels or even ladies'
wraps. She told him that the rule
was absurd, and that n this instance
it must be disregarded, or else He
laughed, took the parcel and called
next day TO know what penalty he
would have incurred had he not
broken the rule She made a saucy
reply. Both banded words half-gay,
half-sentimental, with the consequence
that the visit ended in an engage

OLD LAMPS REPLACED.
New Ones are Big Improvement on
the Others.

One by one the old lamps are be.
ing relegated to the rear and in q
short time they will be nothing more
than a memory. The new ones are
doing better now than when they
were first put up and it is thought
that after people get used to them
they will consider them big i'm
provement over the others. 1t was
said to-day that some arrangement
will soon be reached between the
trolley company and the city with
reference to protecting the lights
which will put the company in a po-
sition to make more successful eff
forts than ever before to bring
youngsters that persist in throwing
stones at the lamps into the courts.
Just what way this viii be brought
about is something which nobody
in authority on either side cares to
say, but it Is probable that it will re-
suit in the company paying regular
officer, appointed by the board Of
safety, to devote his whole time to
detective work on the lights and 9TH
err property belonging to the trolley.
