WELL WORTH SEEING

One of the most interesting exhibits
among the many Of all kinds at the Louisi
ana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis is
that of the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company, of New Haven, Conn, manu-
facturers of repeating rifles and shotguns
and all kinds of ammunition. The exhibit
was in readiness and was opened on the
first day of the fair, a fact that clearly
illustrates the enterprise and up-to-date
methods OF the company behind it. 1t is
the aim of the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company to show at their exhibit the high
development which they have reached in
the making of guns and ammunition, apd
n needs only to see the exhibit to realize
how near to perfection that development
has come. There can be seen the new auto
matte repeating rife, all kinds of shotguns,
the modern suokeless powder shotgun
shells and rifle cartridges; in fact every
thing that can interest the devotees of
hunting and trap and target shooting.
Don't fail to see the exhibit at the Manu-
facturers and Fish and Game Buildings.
It's well worth your while.

Sedgwick, Ark, July 1.-THE case
of w. S. Taylor's little son is looked
npon by those interested in medical
matters as one of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his
father makes the following statement:
Last September, my little boy had
-Dropsy; his feet and limbs were
swollen to such an extent that he
could not walk nor put his shoes on.
The treatment that the doctors were
giving him seemed to DO him no good
and two or three people said his days
were short, even the doctors, two of
the best in the country told me he
would not get better. l stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodd'S
Kidney Pills. l gave him three Pills

for eight days; at the end Of the
eighth day the swelling was all gone,
but ITO give the medicine justice, /
gave him eleven more Pills. | used
thirty-five Pills in all and he was en-
,tirely cured. / consider your medicine

rty-fVe Pills were given him, he could
run, dance and sing, whereas before
he was an invalid in his mothers arms

WRONG TRACK
kisd To Switch.

Even the most careful person is apt
to get on the wrong track regarding
food sometimes and has to switch
over.
When the right food is selected the
host of ais that come from improper
food and drink disappear, even where
the trouble has been of lifelong stand
ing.
From a child I was never strong
and had a capricious appetite and l
was allowed to eat whatever l fancied

biscuit, etc.-so it was not surprising
that my digestion was o % out OF

ton. l had no appetite and as l had
been losing strength because l didn't
get nourishment in my daily food to
repair the wear and tear on body and
brain) / had no reserve force to fall
back on, lost flesh rapidly and no med
icine helped me.
Then it was a wise physician or
dered Grape-Nuts and can and saw
to it that l gave this food (new to me)
a proper trial and it showed he knew
what he was about, because l got bet
ter by bounds from the very first.
That was in the summer and by win
ter l was in better health than ever
before in my life, had gained in flesh
and weight and felt like a new person
altogether in mind as well as body,
all due to nourishing and completely
~digestible food, Grape-Nuts.
This happened three years ago and
never since then have l had any but
nerfect health, for l stick to my
Crape-Nuts food and cream and still
think it delicious. l eat it every day.

Rules for Politicians.

There are" said Taggart, The

Doubles It's Population.

Few persons have any idea Of the
extraordinary manner in which the
population of Europe has increased
during the last century. According to
statisticians. this population has more
than doubled itself from 1880 to 1900.
To this increase the Latin nations OF
the wet and southwest contributed
the least, and the greatest growth was
in the cast, where the people have not
yet become thoroughly saturated with
the idels of modern civilization.
