FROM CALF OF THE LEG TO ANKLE

FROM CALF OF THE LEG TO ANKLE
 A SOLID SORE.
 New Castle, Pa., July 20, 1908.
 Three years ago a common boil ap. peared on the calf of my limb. Not yield. ing to simple home remedies, consulted a physician, who prescribed a poultice, flax seed, supposedly. By some fearful mistake was given corrosive subli- mate, and after having it on for few minutes I could endure the pain no longer, so took off the application and found that my limb from the calfto the ankle was in an awful condition. i'm. mediately sent for another physician, who told me I had been poisoned. My limb from the calf to the ankle was one solid infamed sore. was advised to begin 8. s. s., and improved rapidly under it's use, but about this time had an attack oftyphoid fever, and this set- tied in the original sore. This, of course, caused back set, but having confidence in the ability Of s. s. s., I began it again az soon as was over the fever, and to make long story short, was completely and permanently cured. Two years have elapsed, and have never had return of the trouble. MRS. K. A. DUFFY.

A Wonderful Discovery

Broadland, $. Dak.. March 28-Quite a sensation has been created here by the publication of the story of C.. w.. Gray. who after special treatment for three months was prostrate and helpless and given up to die with Bright's Disease. Bright's Disease has always been considered incura ble, but evidently from the story told by MT. Gray, there is remedy which will cure it even in the most advanced stages. This is what he says:
 "I was helpless as. little babe. My wife and l searched everything and read everything we could find about Brights' disease, hoping that l would be able to find remedy. After many failures my wife insisted that should try Dodd's Kidney Pills. l praise God for the day when decided to do so for his remedy met every phase of my case and in short time, 1 was able to get out of bed and after a few weeks treatment was strong, well man. Dodd's Kidney Pills saved my life."
 A remedy that will cure Bright's Disease will cure any lesser Kidney Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills are cer- tainly the most wonderful discovery which modern medical research has given to the world.

Negro Superstitions.

The negro race is nothing if not su. perstitious. In nearly all parts of Africa, In Central America, where the negro blood predominates, and in the West Indies, especially in San Domingo the belief in charms, hoodoos and the power of incantations prevails almost universally. At any rate, 1t would be almost impossible to find a colored man or woman without superstitions of some sort Even in this country, where the race possesses superior intelligence there exists in the negro mind deep seated belief in the supernatural tbat nothing seems potent to eradicate.

The Kaiser's Social Influence.

In Germany the social influence of the Kaiser has been of far.reaching character and has impressed itself up- on every phase and feature of Teuton life. Under him there has been re- vival of religious sentiment. Since their accession to the throne the Kaiser and his consort have rendered charity and above all, religion fash lonable in Germany. They have given people to understad that the surest way to win their favor and their good will was to build new churches and to endow and to create phllanthropic m- stitutons. Twenty years ago men rarely attended church in Germany, the women constituting probably nine tenths of the congregation, especially in the towns and cities, while the social status of the pastor was far from being a enviable one. To-day men as well as women consider 1t to be their duty to put in an appearance at divine worship. Piety has become popular, while the increasing frequency of matrimonial alliances between the women of the aristocracy and the mem- bers of the clergy speak volumes for the improvement of the social position position of the latter. All this is due wholly and entirely to the social in. Auence of the Kaiser and of his kindly and estimable Empress.

LAWLESS PANAMA.
Cosmopolitanism of the
 New Isthminn Republic.

New Isthminn Republic.
 The new republic of Panama is re- markable for two things-the wide open nature of the towns and the mixed character of the population which ranges through all shades of color from pallid white to jet black. Panama and Colon are the most cos mopolitan cities under the sun, and also the most lawless. Negroes, mulat- toes, Indians, Chinese, Syrians and every race of Europeans and Ameri- cans meet there and blend into all kinds of crosses and half-breeds Pana- mas Chinatown" is considerably larger than New York's.
 "Talk about wide-open towns" said man who knows the Isthmus well, there were never towns wider open than Colon and Panama, especially during the canal boom and the early days of the revolution.
 "Men gambled in the public streets. Tables used to be brought out of the gambling halls on hot nights and placed on the piazzas fronting on the chief thoroughfares. You would see men gambling there by the light of dim hurricane lamp. with piles of gold and notes before them, and ragged lit- tie Indian boys looking on in open mouthed wonder.
 "Then, suddenly, some loser would l,,p [xry;f tho lamp and begin shooting his gun right and left. The table would upset, and while the Indian boys scrambled for the scattered gold, those of us who
 Under the old dispensation the sol dier was absolute king on the isthmus in the time of war and even in time of peace he would do pretty well as he pleased. Some years ago an incident occurred in Panama which caused a great deal of excitement and comment.
 A soldier, while on duty guarding the convicts in the chain gang, was an noyed by woman who persisted in asking him questions. He lifted his rifle and shot her dead. It happened on busy street, and the bullet passed through another woman in the line of fire and broke the leg of third. The second woman also died, and the leg of the third had to be amputated.
 But this is not the remarkable part of the story. What aroused comment xuac tho fo ct thot tho co1diar yyaa ctI1- ally brought to justice and condemned to thirty days imprisonment in the common jail.
 According to Colombia law there is no capital punishment, though men are often shot by court-martial. The max mum legal punishment is ten years even if man kills half a township.

They affect the general health, they require constant attention, and are source of anxiety and trouble all the time, and in some cases highly offen- sive. There is danger, too, of these places becoming cancerous if not treated promptly and in the right way. Washes, salves and ointments are good for external use, but they can't stop the discharge or change the condition of the blood, and for this reason the sore never heals per. manently.
 Not until the blood is purged of impurities and the system cleansed of all harmful substances should the ulcer heal, or the effect upon the sys- tcm might prove disastrous. s. S.S goes into the circulation and searches out and removes the cause of the old sore and invigorates and builds up the polluted, sluggish blood again, and as the poisonous matter is driven from the system the sore begins to heal, new flesh forms and the place is soon covered over with fresh skin and the sore is gone flo . 4 IL

His first commission as justice is
dated December 5, 1854. He was a
stanch Republican, but it was the Gus
tom for all parties to nominate him
each campaign. When one of the OPP
posing parties varied from this prac-
tice the candidate against him was
Overwhelmingly defeated. He was the
first member of the Bourbon county
bar and was a lawyer of recognized
ability. his age having had no effect
upon his mental vigor-
c. E. Cory of Fort Scott, writing of
Judge Margrave a few years ago, said:
Every lawyer now practicing at the
Bourbon county bar received his first
practical lesson in procedure from
Judge Margrave.
"There are two somewhat remark
able features connected with his ca
reer. The first is that for fifteen or
twenty years no man or set of men or
party has dared to nominate or run
anybody against him. The second is
that he has never fined or imprisoned
any one for a personal contempt. I
don't mean to say that he has never
punished anybody for such contempt,
but what 1 mean is that he always in
such cases executed his own process
either with an ink bottle or his fist. l
don't know whether the judge would
now attempt to act the part of peace
officer in his own court or not, but for
one 1 should not care to make the
test as he is yet a little too vigorous
to tackle on such a proposition"
A handsome oil painting, a portrait
of Judge William Margrave. owned by
Eugene F. Ware, has been loaned to
the Topeka public library, and it hangs
on the north wall of the reading room
on the second floor.
Hanging underneath the painting is
the original commission appointing him
to be justice of the peace. The docu-
ment was entirely written by hand and
is on n heavy blue tinted paper. 1t is
signed by the then territorial governor,
Andrew J. Reeder. The seal occupies
the upper left hand corner.
Beside the frame with the commits
sion is another frame which contains
a printed story written by E. +. Ware
and which was printed in the newspa-
pers under a Fort Scott date line, Civ
ing detailed biography of Judge Mar
grave together with several interesting
anecdotes of the unique character.
The following simple inscription is
attached to the big oil painting of
Judge Margrave:~

truth to say. that the most vivid memory
of that trial, the finest thing connected
with it, the one beautiful classic in that
abundance of eloquent speech, is the clos
ing sentences of George F. Hears speech
summing up for the accuSers. 1t has sur
vived all else of that imposing specta-
Gle.
During the life of that congress Mr..
Hoar was one of the commission that de-
cided the disputed presidential election of
1876 He voted with the majority. and
the Democratic cardinal principle of
state sovereignty" prevailed to seat a
Republican president. Never did the irony
of politics gosfarther.
One of the greatest political convoca-
lions of history was the Republican ma
tional convention at Chicago in 1880. Mr..
Hoar was member of that body and
was chosen to preside over its delibera-
tons. 1t was a splendid tribute to the
man, a testimony to his parliamentary
skill, high personal character, and judi
cial rectitude. The wayering balance was
rightly adjusted. His was a clear head,
his a tranquil breast, in that arena of hui
man ambitions and human passions. The
grandeur of Conkling's wonderful elo-
quence, the Splendor of Garfield's perfect
sentences, moved him not. No doubt he
had a choice among those suggested for
that first political station of the world:
but it was never apparent in his speech
or conduct as president of that brilliant
assembly. To have presided over such
body is testimony of the most exalted
