OF Wide Interest.

Breed, Wis. July 1S-Specia!-
Charles Y. Peterson, Justice OF the
Peace for 0conto Co., has delivered
judgment that is of interest 20 the
whole United States. Put briefly, that
judgment is. "Dodd's Kidney Pills are
the best Kidney medicine on the mar
ket to-day"
And MIR. Peterson gives his reason
for this judgment. He says: Last
winter l had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much.
I the morning could hardly straight
en- my back. | did not know what 1t
was but an advertisement led me to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking
one box can only say they have done
more for me than expected as | feel
as well now as ever | did before
Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms of Kidney disease. II not
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills 1t may
develop into Bright's Disease, Dia-
betes, Rheumatism or some of the
other deadly forms of Kidney Disease.

Through Sorrows Gate.

There are many things, besides sor-
rows self, that come through sor-
rows gate-gentleness tact, sympa.
thy, strength, beautiful traits of char
acter, which seem to find no other
mode of entrance into life. Long for
unclouded joy as we may, it still re.
mains true that few of us would
choose for our most valued friend one
who has never suffered. The eyes that
have not known tears must needs lack
something of tenderness. The heart
that never has been torn with an.
guish and loss has never sounded it's
own depths, and cannot measure those
of another. The soul grows strong
through storm and conflict, if it ever
grows strong at all, and, however sweet
q nature may he, we find it incomplete
and unsatisfying if it has never known
the softening, hallowing touch OF
grief. There are dark pages in our
lives where we would gladly have
changed the story if we could. There
are wounds that still ache, and losses
that even yet are hard to bear; but
however we may feel about the sor.
row itself, there are few of us who
would be willing to give up all that
it brought and taught us-to be just
what we were before 1t touched us.
There are some precious gains that
come through sorrows gate.

Many OF us may not be able to en-

Nothing among the so-called negative

God Hears.

Prayer must be addressed TO the
Father AS soon as we utter that sa.
cred name the divine nature responds
and, to- put it wildly, is on the alert
to hear what We desire. A little child
cannot utter a sigh however slight, q
sob however smothered, without
awakening the quick attention of it's
mother; and at the first whisper OF
our Fathers name He is at hand TO
hear and bless. Alas, We have too
often grieved His Holy Spirit by a
string of selfish petitions or number
of formal platitudes. To the wonder.

sure to begin the blessed interview
with words of sincere and loving ap-
probation and devotion.-Rev. F.. b.

Soldiers, superstitlons.

Among the numerous superstitions
OF the Cossacks there is none stronger
than the belief that they will enter
Heaven in better state If they are
personally clean at the time they are
killed. Consequently, before an ex.
pected battle they perform their toilets
with scrupulous care, dress themselves
in clean garments, and put on the
best they have. This superstition is
not confined to the Cossacks alone,
but is widely prevalent in all branches
Of the Russian army.
