The Preachers Evidence

Roland, Ill.,, June 27.-Diabetes has so long been looked upon as an uncur- able form of Kidney Disease that a sure cure for it must rank as one of the most valuable medical discoveries of the age. And every day rings forth fresh evidence that Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure Diabetes. Important evidence in their favor is given by Rev. Thos. B.Norman. the we'll known Baptist minister here. MT. Norman says:
 ''I had all the symptoms of a bad case of Diabetes and received so much benefit from the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills that I cheerfully recommend them to anyone suffering from that dread disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure the worst form of Diabetes. !"
 Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure Diabetes, one of the final stages of Kidney Disease. All the earlier stages from Backache to Rheumatism are naturally much more easily cured by the same remedy.

ORIENTAL TABLE LINENS.
Chinese Grass Linen Embroidered in
 Grass Designs.

MI aoo DSoAeShos
 As in everything else, from wearing apparel to house furnishing goods, fashions in table linen show a decided trend toward Oriental effects, tenn pered. however, by American ideas in decoration. Not only is the Oriental fancy exhibited in the exquisite and delicate Armenian work, but in the rich-looking and elegant table sets in white and blue Chinese grass linen-a beautiful fabric-embroider all over in dragon designs, roses, cherries and carnations.
 Fine and lovely as these several styles of table pieces are, they possess that quality so appreciated by the housewife-th capacity for coming out of the laundry as smooth and dainty as before they were put to use. This can not be said of other more expensive and elaborate table sets of rich and fine laces, which require great care during the cleansing process iD order to preserve their beauty. Most fash ionable among these, for the coming season, are such old favorites as duch- esse lace and point de Venise, with the old-fashioned cut work-ca've by many Irish point
 For general use nothing will be more popular during the months to come than Irish linen in various qualities embroidered in white mercerized cotton in dainty designs of shamrocks, feur- de-lis, forget-me-nots, daisies, bow knots, chrysanthemums and graduated Cots, of which pretty patterns the shamrock, feur-de-lis and forget-me- not are most popular.
 It will be observable that ornamental designs upon table cloths and pieces for the coming season are small and scattered daintily over the linen at in. ervals.-Harper's Bazar.

A ColOred Hibernian.

"Private" John Allen says that an old darky preacher in Mississippi was recently approached by deacon in the church, who desired to gain the reverend gentleman's consent to his daughters marriage with him, the deacon.
 q doan' know bout dis," said the preacher, dubiously. You ain't sech young man, deacon. I ain't shore dat you kin support nah chilew
 The deacon bridled. "Dere won't be no trouble bout dat, sahw he asserted, warmly. q kin support her all rightv'
 The minister reflected for a moment. "Has you eber seen my Chloe eat?' he finally asked.
 q has, sahw came from the suitor.
 "But, sah!' exclaimed the old preacher, impressively, "has you eber seen her eat when nobody was a. watchin' her?"-Woman' Home Con- panion.

Royal Prussian Potash Mines.

The potash which is dug from tho royal Prussian mines, located at Strass- furt ninety miles from Berlin, is the Sole source of the worlds supply. Be- fore the mines were discovered the best substitute which could be found for the product was wood ash, such as the southern plantations used in the old days of making lye soap. The Prussian mines are twenty-seven in number, and were devoted to the pro- duction of salt before rock salt was discovered.
 When the new variety of salt was given to the world about forty years ago the Prussian mines were temporal rily abandoned, and in few years a search for rock salt was instituted. The salt was found, but in badly adulterated condition, and an analysis of the adulterant revealed the fact that it was the most valuable part of the mineral. The potash was at once turned to use as commercial fertilizer, and establishments in Louisville take q large proportion of the production. It is an ingredient of the material in which the Tennessee and South Caro- lima phosphate is largely used.
 The mines are controlled by a syn dicate and are under the supervision of William, Emperor of Germany and King of Prussia. They employ 21,0O0 men and yield 1,200 car loads day of potash. Of the entire output 75 per cent is used for agricultural purposes, while the remainder is used for chem ical purposes. It is largely utilized in the cyanide process of extracting gold from the ore.-Louisville Courier-Jour- nal.

A Worldwide Reputation

Wherever men are there will be ill., ness and wherever people are ill, Dodd's Kidney Pills will be found a blessing. Solely on their merits have they pushed their way into almost every part of the civilized world. Their reputation as an honest medi- cine that can always be relied on has been built up by the grateful praise of those who have been cured. The two following letters indicate just how the reputation of this remedy knows no geographical bounds. The sick and suffering all over the world are asking for Dodd's Kidney Pills.
 Dear Sirs:-I have been suffering for some months from Kidney con- plaint. The doctor who attended me has recommended me to take your Pills, "Dodd's Kidney Pills" After two boxes got some relief. But un- fortunately l have not been able to go on with the treatment, being unable, to ma any PlllS Tn CalrO.
 The chemist who sold me the two. boxes has informed me that he had sent an order for some, and bas been keeping me waiting for more than one month. This is the reason why 1 am writing you to request you to have the goodness to send me by return of post six boxes for which will pay as soon as I receive them from the post.
 Kindly let me know at the same time where your branch agency in Egypt is to be found, Thanking you in anticipation,

 Dear Sirs :-I want to purchase six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, but 1 don't know exactly where to apply at Buffalo or London. I suppose they can be sent by express or registered mail from either place. Please advise me of how to proceed in order to get the pills without delay. Yours truly,

ting authorities in the country. Inc

show the real ability Of the horses
themselves. one outside help has fol-
lowed another in aiding the horses TO
attain greater speed, and most Of them
have been allowed by the trotting as
sociation as legitimate. but they are
inclined to draw the line at the wind
shield.
Most of the sensational records OF
1909, which was the most sensational
wear in the history Of the trottinS turf,
will now have to be thrown out, or if
recognized must be indicated and ac-
knowledgcd as freak records. No record
can stand which has been made by the
aid of Il horse running ahead OF the
trottcr. with Il wind shield and Great
ing an thrush of air which helps to
carry along the trotter faster than nc
could travel by his own unaided ef-
forts. The only sportsmanlike way OF
ulcc-making is to have the accOmpa-
nying horse at the side of the trotter
and not directly in front. although the
National Trotting Association seems
to recognize the carrying of the dirt
shield by the runner in front as Il leSi-
innate device. But how is it to de-
eide where the shield leaves off being
a dirt shield ana begins to be a wind
shield? Certainly the chief difference
is in the size.
