Should suffer in the face of evidence like this:
 Mrs. Almira A. Jackson, of East Front St, Traverse City, Mich, says: For twenty years 1 never knew what it was to have good health. Every physician consulted said 1 had liver trouble but their medicines did me no good. Just before l began using Doan's Kidney Pills l was almost paralyzed. l could hardly stand on my feet because of the numbness and lack of circu lation. Had a knife been thrust into my kidneys the pain could not have been more intense. Ny sleep was disturbed by visions of distorted figures. The kidney secre- tions were annoyingly irregular and l was tortured with thirst and always bloated. 1 used seven boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills. The bloating subsided until I weighed one hundred pounds less, could sleep like child and was relieved of the pain and the irregulari- ty of the kidney action. Ny circulation is good and 1 feel better in every way
 A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mrs. Jackson will be mailed on application to any part of the United States. Address Foster. Milburn Co.,, Buffalo. \. Y. For sale by all druggists, price 50 cents per box.

HADN'T THOUGHT OF THAT.
There Were Obstacles to the Freq Movement of Doors That
 Opened Outward.

There was man who had read that it was safer to make the doors ol all houses open outward instead Ot inward, says the Chicago Tribune.
 He remembered t. and when he built a house of his own he had all the outer doors hung in accordance with that idea.
 One bright morning in March he moved into his new home.
 Late in the evening of the same day it began to snow and t kept on showing un- til the ground was covered foot deep.
 Then the wind blew and piled the snow n drifts.
 After which t began to rain.
 The rain later turned to sleet and the mercury sank 20 degrees.
 And the next morning the neighbors were astonished beyond measure 1t the sight of a frenzied man with his head thrust out of a second story front window of that house gesticulating wildly to a boy on the sidewalk and begging him for heaven s sake to go and call the ire department and have the ice and snow blasted away from his doors so he could open them and get out of the house!

The Russian Peasantry.

The bad economic condition of the Russian peasantry may be shown by the Russian novelist, Uspenski. once wrote a story of peasant life, which he called "A Quarter of a Horse and which was intended to set forth. in the guise of fiction, the social and ec- onomic status of an agricultural popu. lation that had only one horse to every four families Statistics compiled by the zemstyos of the central provinces show that, even before the agricultural crisis became as acute as it is now 20 to 30 per cent. of the peasant farmers in the formerly rich provinces of Cher nigof, Voronezh, Poltava. Saratof, Kursk and Tambof did not have even a single horse, while nearly one-third of the entire population of VoroneZh had neither horse nor COW. In the province of Riazan 32000 peasant proprietors out of S0,000 had no horse, and 21 ,000 had neither horse nor COW.

| AM TIRED.
Everybody is Eired-Spring Weather Does It-EveryOne
 Shcu!d Be Cautious.

Depression of the nervous system at the approach of spring is the cause. General lassitude, dull, heavy sensa- tions, continual tired feeling, with ir- regular appetite, and sometimes loss of sleep. Peruna meets every indication and proves itself to be perfectly adapted to all their varied peeuliarities. Peruna invigorates the system, rejuvenates the feelings, restores the normal appetite and produces regular sleep.
 That tired feeling which is the natural result of the depressing effect of warm weather immediately after the invigor ating cold Of winter. quietly disappears when Peruna is taken. Thousands are daily testifying to it's priceless benefit.
 Mrs H. Kassatt, 1909 W. 18th street, Des MoineS. Ia., writes: :. am happy to give my endorsement for your va luab ble medicine. Peruna. as 1 consider it a val uab1e medicine to take when the system is run down from overworlI.

THE AMERICAN HUSBAND.
Well Spoken of by an English Writel Who Doubtless Has Made
 Him a Study.


 An American young man does not as rule look forward to marriage nor prepare for it by saving any consider able portion of his ante-nuptial income. When he marries. says the London Telegraph, it is usually on short notice and because he has fallen very des- perately in love with some one and cannot find it in his heart to wait until cold caution declares the venture advisable. Even when an engagement is long one he usually squanders so much on gifts and entertainments for his fiancee that there is only a very moderate amount to begin housekeep- ing on. Thus before his marriage the young American of the middle-cIass be- gins to give evidence of what is to be his chief national characteristic as a husband-his unfailing, unselfish and almost improvident generosity.
 The middle-elass husband in America rarely interferes with the affairs of the household. He hardly knows the cost of staple articles of food. As a rule he does not make his wife regular al lowance either for household or per sonal expenses. but gives her as much as he can spare, freely, but with a lack of system that is not conducive to the best outlay of their income.
 The young American husband is also very indulgent to his wife's fondness of fine clothes. He would far rather have an extravagant wife than a dowdy one. and although he grumbles occa sionally at millinery bill. in reality he glories in the resplendent appear, ance of his wife in her fine feathers The American husband is rare who does not concede his wife's right to expend q much larger SUIT. with her dressmaker than he does with his tail. or Indeed he often leaves his tailor altogether and cheerfully repairs to the ready-made clothing house in order that his wife may have more money for extravagant finery.
