leg remaining paralyzed, public opinion
ruefully settled down to the conviction
that the highly honored veteran must
at best remain cripple for life.
Suddenly to the surprise and delight
of every one Mr.. Duffy again appeared
on the street in Enthusiastically robust
health and was overwhelmed by con-
gratulations and inquiries: How did it
happen?" What cured you?' To the
astonished spectators his temperance
was like a return from the grave. At
this point his story becomes more in
teresting in the language used by him
self in a recent interview with a re-
porter:
The regular treatment, consisting of
medicine and powerful electric shocks,
didn't do bit of good, so far as my
paralyzed leg was concerned. My left
leg remained cold and dead. I had paid
the doctor a good sum, and he had evil
IDENTIFY done his best. He got me out of
my eomatose state but he couldn't get
me any further, and I had been too ac-
tive a man to be content to be housed
up with one dead leg if there was any
possible way to cure it.
I knew of no better doctor, however,
and l finally stumbled on help by the
merest chance. l got my clue out of a
Boston paper from the story of a war
who had been cured of a desperate at
tack of locomotor ataxia by DIR. Will
liams Pink Pills. That item reused my
hopes SO that sent for a box of the
pills at once to the nearest drug store
and in less than month afterward I,
too, became a perfectly well man as the
result of using them.
"Curiously enough it was my own
doctor who pronounced me we'll before
he knew what had cured me. I met
him as I was going up the stairs of the
Masonic building. You seem to be pref
ty spry,' he said, in a surprised tone
Let me see you lift your toes Which
foot, doctor?' The left, of course he
replied. I can raise the left as well as
the right 1 said, and then I worked
the toes, first of one foot and then of
the other. until he saw there was no
difference and declared me to be all
right.
Not only were my limbs sound but I
was in perfect health every way and
have remained so ever since. No more
vertigo, no more trouble with my stom-
ach. none with my kidneys; in fact
every organ seems to be doing it's proper
work. certainly have good reason to
be thankful to1BR.s Williams Pink Pills

ON A RANCH
Woman Found the Food That Fitted
Her.

A newspaper woman went out to
Colorado ranch to rest and recuperate
and her experience with the food prob
lem is worth recounting.
1.-THE woman at the ranch was pre-
eminently the worst housekeeper have
ever known,-poor soul, and poor me.
I simply had to have food good and
plenty of it for I had broken down
from overwork and was so weak I
could not sit uD over one hour at
less I secured food 1 could easily di-
gest and that would supply the great
est amount of nouriShment.
Zone day I obtained permission to go
through the pantry and see what I
could find. Among other things I came
across a package of Grape-Nuts which
I had heard of but never tried. 1 read
the description on the package and be-
came deeply interested so then and
there I got a saucer and some cream
and tried the famous food
1T tasted delicious to me and seemed
to freshen and strengthen me greatly
so I stipulated that Grape-Nuts and
cream be provided each day instead of
other food and 1 literally lived on
Grape-Nuts and cream for two or three
months.
If you could have seen how fast I
got wei it would have pleased and sur
prised you. I am now perfectly well
and strong again and know exactly
how 1 got well and that was on Grape
Nuts that furnished me a powerful
food 1 could digest and make use of.

Other symptoms are sure to follow,
such as bad taste in the mouth, gas in

If the next legislature OF the
state of Idaho would place a
bounty on cougar, payable from
the fund received from the sale
OF hunters licenses, large enough
to encourage hunters to go after
this game destroyer, it would be
highly satisfactory to the sports
men in general. 1t is said by
hunters that a full grown cougar
kill on an average over one deer
per week and it is safe to say
that cougars kill more deer than
all the hunters. II a bounty was
placed on cougars and they we're
exterminated each hunter could
be allowed to kill four deer in
stead OF two. We think that the
change suggested would in a
great manner tend toprotect the

Editor TRIBUNE:-
While Memorial Day is a holt
day 1t should be remembered that it
Is In no sense day for gaines, sports
or amusemcnts, and every Comrade
should put forth all possible efforts TO
prevent such dissertations OF the day.
To this end suggest that each Com
rade exert such influence as they may

munities by cooperating with the

10 discourage the making arrange

for the Both OF May, the character of
which may be incompatible with the
proper respect for Memorial Day and
the memory of our dead Comrades.
Is not it possible to spend an en-.
joyable holiday amidst all the beaut-
les Of opening spring without the in
PRODUCTION of boisterous and exciting
sports? We are putting great store
by our amusements these days; is it
not worth while to consider II the
calm and quiet reflections of the old,
trim Sabbath may not have had their
uses? 1t is a one armed generation
that is marching to the grave in this
decade. AS its tottering and waning
ranks form and break on each recur-
ring thirtieth of May, they should
suggest other thoughts than OF ex-
