Three Doctors Opinions.

Buffalo, N. Y, Feb. 15th.-Physi-
clans have accepted Dodd's Kidney
Pills as the standard remedy for dis
eases of the Kidneys and kindred
complaints. R. H. Dunaway, M. D.,
Of Benton, ILL.,. says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me of
Diabetes after everything else had
failed and 1 was given up to die.
have since prescribed them in my
regular practice for every form of
Kidney Trouble and have never as yet
known them to fail"
Jesse l.. Lines, M D., st. John,

81 prescribed Dodd's Kidney Pills
for the little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mcbride of this place who suffered
from Epileptic fits following Scarlet
ina; results were miraculous; I have
never seen anything like it."
Leland Williamson, M. D., York.

Unbounded,

Baltimore, Feb. 11.-Amid ruins still
hot and smoking, Baltimore has begun
its resurrection. With the dawn of a
clear winter day whose brightness was
in itself an inspiration, apathy gave
way to energy, and from the governor
of the state to the least private citizen
the people aroused themselves to meet
the appalling conditions that confront
ed them.
1t was a day of conferences. The
governor, the mayor and various mu-
nicipal officials met and threshed out
the problems that are theirs by virtue
of public office. From this conference
came a decision, that Baltimore, for
the present, needs no outside help, but
will endeavor with her own recources
and those of the state to meet the
emergency. At this conference alstc
was developed the machinery for an
advisory legislative commission to act
in conjunction with the legislature.
With promptness the chamber held a
general meeting and issued formal
announcement that reflected the pre-
vailing hopefulness, declaring there
are already such evidences of recupera-
ton that all are encouraged in the
hope of the early restoration of every
branch of trade"
The Stock exchange chambers met
and decided to rebuild as soon as posi-
BILE. The same story can be told of
practically every commercial body,
while on every hand is evidence of pri-
vate effort toward rehabilitation.
Old buildings, long unused, private
residences near the business section,
in fact, every available structure bears
crudely lettered signs on board or
cloth announcing that within is tenn
porary Office of firm. The names on
some of these signs are those that rank
high in the financial and commercial
circles of the world, and in those tenn
porary offices men who for years have
| known only mahogany desks work on
deal tables and plain boards.
Labor is in demand and the news
! papers already contain display adver-
tisemeuts for men to begin the work of
clearing the ruins.
A great cloud was lifted when it was
discovered that practically all of the
vaults and strong rooms and safes OF
the financial concerns whose buildings
were destroyed are unhurt. A tremen.
dous loss in securities had been an.
ticipated there and when vault after
vault yielded up its treasures unframed
the joy of the guardians was boundless
Another surprise was the discovery
that two financial concerns whose
homes were directly in the path of the
flames were practically unframed
These were the Mercantile Trust Com
pany and Brown Bros bank. TIL,
escape of these buildings was due tx
their lack of height. They do not ex
coed four stories, and, as they wer,
surrounded by lofty structures, thu
flames swept over them.

FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY.
Frauds In Watch Cases,

According to an article in the Cincinnati
Commercial, fifty-one pound stone was
recently found in that city secreted in a
bale of hay of eighty pounds.
This Is not as bad as finding lump Of
lead OF nearly one-half the weight of the
solid gold watch case secreted in the CEN
ter of the case
Gold watch cases are sold by weight,
and no one can see where this lead is Sc
creted until the springs of the case are
taken out and the lead will be found Sc
GREETED behind them
these cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest but furnish the means
TO the dishonest to rob the public. 1t is
not pleasant for anyone to find that he has
lugged lump of lead in his watch case
Another trick the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the case
~. S. Assay" The United States does
not stamp any article made out of gold
ana silver except coin, and the falkir, by
using this stamp, wants to make the public
believe that the government had something
to do with the stamping or guaranteeing
the fneness of watch cases.
Another trick of the watch fakir Is to
advertise watch described as a solid gold
filled watch with twenty or twenty-five
year guarantee. These watches are gen.
orally sent G. Cd, and if the purchaser
has paid for the watch he finds that the
Company which guaranteed the watch to
wear is not in existence.
The Dueber-Hampden Watch Company
OF Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex-
posing these frauds, will furnish the
names of the manufacturers who are in
this questionable business.

Ouief Children

Watch the child carefully who is
always quiet. This is quite an unnat-
ural state of affairs, and shows that
something is wrong. Those who go
much among the schools of the very
poor know that it often means lassi-
tude from want of proper nourish-
ment. If it occurs in the children OF
the better off it shows that vitality
is low, and that for some reason or
another the food is not giving the
strength 1t should .do.-Exchange.
