Bay City, ILL.,, Aug. S.-(Special)-
Mr.. K. f. Henley of this city adds his
evidence to that published almost daily
that a sure cure for Rheumatism is
now before the American people and
that that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Mr.. Henley had Acute Rheumatism.
He has used DOdd's Kidney Pills. He
says of the result:
after suffering for sixteen years
with Rheumatism and using numerous
medicines for Rheumatism and more
medicines prescribed by doctors, l at
last tried DOdd's Kidney Pills with the
result that / got more benefit from
them than all the others put together.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills were the only
thing to give me relief, and | recon-
mend them to all suffering from Acute
Rheumatism"
Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid
In the blood. Healthy kidneys take all
the Uric Acid out of the blood. Dodd's
Kidney Pills make healthy kidneys.

Surpass the Men.
Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 11.-Post
master John Mckay has asked for
women mail carriers for Des Moines.
In an interview stating his position.
he says: women will make better
letter carriers than men. They will
go on about their business when men
will loiter to talk. My experience
with women in officework is that they
will do promptly what they are as
signed to do. Letter carrying requires
close attention to duty and freedom
on the part of the carrier from other
engrossing thought. Take a girl with
a clean heart and clear head and she
will give much better satisfaction as a
letter carrier, especially in the bush
ness district, where speed and &C
curacy is demanded"
Little hope is entertained that the
department will pay any attention to
his request, as there is rule against
women entering the letter carrier
