AFTER HARD STRUGGLE

man, but the PIucky Police
man Returned to His Beat.

| The most surprising experience In the
| life of Policeman Andrew Muldoon, of
the East Twenty-second Street Station.
came to him to-day. when he was sud-
denly yanked head first into the Icy
waters OF the East River from the
n OF a dock at the DOT of East
Twenty-fourth street.
Muldoon was attempting a rescue. He
a been on post half n block away
when he heard cries for help coming
from the river front. He ran with all
speed TO the end of the dock, and there,
struggling feebly in the Icy waters, he
saw a man who subsequently turned
out to be Michael Ragle. forty years
cid, OF No. COS Second avenue.
Muidoon at once called to the man
10 keep up his courage, and. lying Mt
full length on the dock. he reached
over.
Get hold Of my wrist he cried to
Ragle.
Ragle did as hs> was bid, and he
took a death grip. Then the police
man tried to haul him up on the dock.
Ragle weighs about 300 pounds, and
Muldoon sooa found this out. He BE-
gan to slide from the dock. Slowly
but irresistibly the weight OF the man
in the water did Its work. The police
man clutched at the dock with his
free hand and tried to dig his toes
into the wood. but inch by inch he slid
toward the end of the dock. until lnal-
ly he plunged into the water on top
OF Ragle.
The tide at this point is strong. and
the river was full of floating cakes Of
ice. Ragle was exhausted. but he still
kept that death grip oil Muldoon's wrist.
1t was n serious situation for both men.
Around at one side of the dock Null
doom remembered there was a small
float. . He struck out vigorously In that
direction, supporting the ha~lt-conscious
Ragle. He gained the float, but had not
the strength to climb on to 1t, Nor
could he have done 80 II he had had the

Soldiers, M.dox,s Eauarel

For about half a century II has been
the practice OF the War Department to
have soldiers clothing made al the
Schuylkill arsenal Philadelphia, by
the widows and orphan children of sol
diers. Recently the department de-
cided to have the work done by con
tract. purely as a business proposition.
The action OF the department, which
meant practically the throwing out of
employment OF hundreds of women
who have been dependent for a living
upon the work at the arsenal. aroused
much comment in Philadelphia and
especially among members OF various
patriotic organizations.
Immediately a delegation called on
the President, who, after hearing the
facts, directed that the idea of having
the work done by contract be aban-
doned and that IL be given to the
women, a. has been the practice in the
past He then made request OF the

Cure to STAY Cured.

Wapello, Iowa, Oct. 10 Especially
One Of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded in Louisa County is
that of Mrs, Minnie Hart of this place.
Mrs. Hart was In bed for eight months
and when She was able to sit up she
was all drawn up on one side and
could not walk across the room.
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Speak
ing of her cure Mrs. Hart says:
Yes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after l was in bed for eight months
and I know the cure was complete
for that was three years ago and
have not been down since In four
weeks from the time | started taking
them | was able to make my garden.
Nobody can know how thankful | am
to be cured or how much | feel | owe
to Dodd's Kidney Pills"
This case again points out how
much the general health depends on
the Kidneys. Cure the Kidneys with
Dodd's Kidney Pills and ninetenths of
the suffering the human family is heir
to, will disappear.

A GREAT INSTITUTION.

It's unusual that a single institution in
city OF 600 people will overshadOw In i'm
portance every othec interest but such is
the case with the American School of
Osteopathy, and A T. Still Infrnary at
Kirksvillc, Mo.
A stranger in Kirksvillc Is immediately
impressed with the idea that the town Is
sustained by this institution, in fact,
kirksville has been made what II is to-day
by DR.. Still and his famous School and
lntrmary II is the largest patronlzed I'M
endowed institution of its kind in the
United States.
DIR. Stills school enrolls over 700 students
yearly and each student is required to at
tend four terms of five months each before
completing the course of study There are
over 1000 graduates and thCT are prac-
ticing in every state and territory Of the
Union. About tWO-thirds Of the states
have passed special laws lof;.lzing the
science.
This school teaches every branch taught
In medical colleges except drugs" and
osteopathy il substituted FOR that. So
thorough Is the teaching III anatomy that
over one hundred human bodies are dis
sected yearly by the students.
AT the Infirmary, patients from every
part OF the country and with almost every
form OF disease are constantly under treat
ment. For the past fifteen years almost
every train coming TO Eirksviie has
brought some new sufferer hoping to find re-
lief by the science OF Osteopathy. BY the
thousands who have left the institution
benefited by the treatment, the science has
been heralded to the world Us a safe and
rational method Of cure Several years ago
free clinic was established in connection
with the practice department Of the school
and this is still in operation Hundreds of
the worthy poor, who are unable TO pay for
treatment, are treated every afternoon by
the senior students free Of charge.
