Mrs. II. ID. Hyde Of this place, was
troubled for ear with a pain in her
heart which distressed her a great
deal. She had tried many remedies
but had not succeeded In finding any
thing that would help her until at last
she began a treatment OF Dodd,s Kid
ney Pills and this very soop relieved
her and she has not had a single pain
or any distress in the region of the
heart since. She says: Il cannot say
too much praise of Dodd's Kidney

HAD THE GAMBLERS SCARED.

Mrs. Sage and Mrs. Gould Created a
Ripple on the Bowery.
The visit of Miss Helen Gould and
Mrs. Russell Sage to the mission in
No. 55 Bowery on the night Of St.
Patrick's day caused a commotion in
a gambling house next door. When
their automobile drew up in front of
the mission a crowd gathered. The
names of the visitors were soon
passed to the gamblers.
The gambling place is. used as a
poolroom in the afternoons and a faro
game is operated there at night. A
w~eI-known lightweight p%rizefghter
acts as doorkeeper in the daytime and
occasionally as lookout at night. He
was on duty when Mrs. Sage and Miss
Gould entered the mission, and it was
he who passed the scare to the men
inside. Play was interrupted for a
few minutes, but more mature CON
sideration led the men to believe they
had nothing to fear from the women,
so they returned to the game.
Several players, however, were curl
Il enough to go into the mission to
see the visitors. After the service
they returned to the gambling room
and reported how Mrs. Sage had
asked the male quartet to sing
