Having a Picnic.


There is something particularly enjoy.
able about going to picnic. The very word
Picnic brings pleasant anticipations of a
good time. The idea of going out to the
woods and fields or down by some brook
or lake, with luncheon to be served on the
grass and under the trees, has peculiar
fascination. The fresh air and exercise con-
tribute to give hearty appetite to all and
everything at luncheon seems far better
than the finest course dinner that French
Dresden china, and paper boxes silver
trays, when the good things to eat" are
spread upon the ground.
Pic-Nics are never complete without the
sandwiches, sweet white bread with gen.
erous layer of meat between. Libby's
canned meats are ideal for pic-nics and
outings. The cans are so easily opened,
and the contents SO fresh and ~palatable,

Every child born into the
world with an inherited or

torturing, disfiguring humors

an object of the most tender
solicitude, not only because of
its suffering, but because of the
dreadful fear that the disfigu-
ration is to be lifelong and mar
its future happiness and pros.
perity. Hence it becomes tho
duty of mothers of such afflict.
ed children to acquaint them

Good Nsws from Texas.

New Braunfels, Texas, May 23rd-A
remedy has been found which cures every
form Of Kidney Trouble from Bright's Dis
ease down, including Rheumatism or
Heart Trouble. Mr. &. Q. Schumann, r.
F. d. No. from Braunfels has used It in
his family and says of the result:
my wife had heap Of trouble With
Kidney and Heart Disease. She was very
bad and nothing seemed to help her, till
we tried Doddfs Kidney Pills, and the
first box of this medicine did her more
good than all the other pills and medicine
she had used.> We are very thankful to
Dodd's Kidney Pills for what they have
done for her."
Many. other cases are being reported,
in which this remedy has done wonderful
work in the relief and cure of Rheuma-
tism, Diabetes and Kidney troubles of all
kinds.
This will be good news to many who
are suffering as Mrs. Schumann was before

posure can get a remedy that will make
rich red blood from the food they eat,
their return to health is assured. Good
blood is the life of the body as well as
the nerves. Weak, sickly, pale people
who suffer with indigestion, dyspepsia,
sick-headache, loss of strength and am
bition, having dizzy spells and always
tired, can be cured sound and well with

Power Christmas Trees.

Bangor, Me-, Nov. 1.-The Maine
farmer is already beginning to gather
his crop Of graceful frs TO be used
next month as Christmas trees in the
big cities. During the past Is years
more than 100000 frs have been
sacrificed for Christmas trees. The de.
mand was small at first, but so soon as
the city dealers were made acquainted
with tho quality Of the trees, they
bought more of them, so for the past
five or six seasons the shipments save
been more than million year.
The largest number was sent away
four years ago, when nearly n million
and a half upright frs, as well as sew
eral carloads Of pines, were forwarded
to the wholesalers in various cities.
Since then the demand for larger trees
has increased, while tho call for trees
of small size has almost ceased. The
reason for this is said to be that not
so many trees are used in private fami.
lies as formerly, the members of varl-
ous orders and churches uniting and
patronizing some common Christmas
tree, which is set mp in n church or n
hall, and around which the company
gather to witness the distribution of
presents.
