The Preachers Evidence.

Roland, ILL.,, June 27.-Diabetes has
so long been looked upon as an incur.
able form Of Kidney Disease that a sure
cure Tor it must rank as one of the
most valuable medical discoveries oil
the age. And every day brings forth
fresh evidence hat Dodd's Kidney
Pills will cule Diabetes. Important
evidence in their favor is given by Rev.
Thos. B. Norman, the we'll known Bap.
fist minister here. Mr.. Norman says:
81 had all the symptoms OF a bad
case Of Diabetes and received so much
benefit from the use of Dodd's Kidney
Pills that l cheerfully recommend
them to anyone suffering from hat
dread disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills
will cure the worst form of Diabetes"
Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure Dia-
betes II of the final stages of Kidney
Disease. All the earlier stages from
Rackache to Rheumatism are naturally
much more easily cured by the same
remedy.

Revenge OF a Waiter.

TIPS regarding prospective SNUG
glers come TO the customs officials in
strange ways and from peculiar
sources, says the New York Tribune.
One of the queerest was a cable dis
patch from Bermuda, received a few
weeks ago. 1t read: Customs, New
York: Watch Green-bicycle trunk
from Bermuda" There was no sigma
ture. and the officials, utterly puzzled
as to the source of the message, await
ed the arrival Of the next Bermuda
boat with interest. Sure enough, there
was a passenger named Green, and
among his luggage was u bicycle
trunk.
He made the usual declaration that
he was bringing in nothing dutiable.
What is in this?" asked an inspect
or, tapping the bicycle trunk.
my bicycle, of course"
Suppose you open it," said the in
spector.
Mr.. Green was sorry, but he had lost
the key. Then they broke it open and
found it packed with expensive cigars,
which were promptly c%Onfiscated.
The mystery of the cabled tip was
cleared up by a passenger who had
stopped in Hamilton at the same hotel
with Green. 1t seemed that Green
never tipped hotel servants. One of
them discovered that he was packing
the bicycle CASE with cigars and told
his fellows. They Clipped in enough
to pay for the cable dispatch and in
giving the tip had revenge for tips not
given.

DESERT SCREECH OWLS.

Disposscss Squirrels, Chipmunks and
Woodpeckers to Find a Home.
In Arizona the owls live mostly IN
holes in the ground and In holes in
the giant cactus. 1t would be contrary
to their predatory nature to dig tileir
own holes, or yet to build nests of
sticks while there were other available
nesting places, says a writer in Coun.
try Life in America. So every spring
time there is a lot of trouble among
the desert chipmunks and ground
squirrels until the burrowing owls have
chosen their holes and settled down
for the season. Similarly the Gila
woodpeckers and gilded flickers have
no assurance that their holes in the
sahuaras are their own until after the
screech owls and pygmy owls have
been established in comfort. Possess.
sion is all the law there is in the Ari.
Zona cactus and desert, and In case
of a dispute the owls eat little chip
hunks and fickers, anyway.
All day, in the cool depths of his
hole, the screech owl hides from the
heat and glare. AS the sun sinks he
m out and fits silently toward the
river bottom, where the mice and kan
CARGO rats are already beginning to
play on the sand patches, and to hustle
through the willows and arrowhead
thickets. The quail and smaller birds
are hid away in the bushes, and around
the old logs and stumps great yellow
scorpions and beetles are picking their
way. At the slightest movement of Il
blade Of grass the screech owl swoops
to the ground, and when he is not
ranging the flats for mammals he is
searching punches Of mistletoe and
dense mosquito trees for the birds
which lie hidden there.
He does not scorn the scorpion md
beetles, nor yet grasshoppers and
smaller bugs. At the same time be
will tackle a bush rabbit or twitch
a pocket gopher from his hole by the
head. He swallows his prey whole,
and, after digestion has taken place,
throws up the bones and furs in the
shape Of pellets. 1t is by looking for
pellets beneath wOodpeckers' holes in
cottonwoods and sahuaras that natur
alists are able to locate the homes OF
these owls.

Why Fruit Trees Fail,

Country Life in America points out
that the dropping off ot young fruit is
not due to insect pests, as it is popu
larry supposed. More often it is be.
cause of the fact that many varieties
of fruits are self-sterile and the bios
SONS require the contact OF the pollen
of other varieties before they will ma.
ture fruit. Not getting this pollen,
many fruit trees do not bear at all OF
very much. The same trees treated by
the methods Of grating and planting
will often bear large fruit and plenty
of 1t.

WHY HOT WEATHER makes WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions by DIR. Hartman.-How
to Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident to Warm Weather.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to amaze
mic nerve %centers. The nerve centers
are the reservoir for nerve vitality.
These centers become bloodless for the
want of proper nutrition. .
This condition is especially notice.
able during the warm season. Every
summer an army of invalids are pro-
duced as a direct result of weak nerv-
GUS systems.
This could be easily overcome by the
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root of the trouble by correcting the
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutrition for the nerve cent
ers. Perfectly digested food gives these
reservoirs of life a vitality which Gre
ates strong, steady nerves, and in this
manner f~ortifies and nourishes life.
Miss Blanche Grey, a prominent
young society woman of Memphis,
Tenn , in a recent letter from ia Ala
bama street, writes: "To a society
woman whose nervous force is often
taxed to the utmost from lack of rest
and irregular meals, l know of nothing
which is of so much benefit as Peruna.
l took it a few months ago when /
felt my strength giving way, and
it Don made itself manifest in giving
me new strength and heaIth.''-Miss
Blanche Grey.
Pe-ru-na Contains no Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is
that it contains no narcotic of any
kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless.
1t can be used any length of time with
out acquiring a drug habit. Peruna
does not produce temporary results.
1t is permanent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There
are a multitude of homes where Peru
ma has been used off and on for twenty
years. Such a thing could not be pos
sible if Peruna contained any drugs of
a narcotic nature.
At this season of the year we are Pc
culiarly liable to inlammations of the
stomach and bowels. 1t is the part of
wisdom to learn how to cut them short
and in the easiest and quickest manner.
Peruna does this by ITS peculiar
power over all forms of catarrhal
troubles.

WHO ROBBED THE cow
Did a Snake or a Person Get the Milk
Every Night.


There may not be anything in the
Old story about snakes milking cows"
SAID a man who used to live in the
country, according to the New Orleans
rimes-Democrat, but there was some.
thing in it in at least one case that |
know Of and it came directly under my
observation. Up TO the time | have in
mind | was very skeptical about the
stories told to me about snakes rob
bling cows of their milk and keeping
calves from getting what was coming
to them But while | was up in Ar
kansas some years ago ] had occasion
to see something of the very thing l
had doubted.
Mind you. l am not telling you
something | did not see with my own
eyes. | want to remain within the
bounds of reason and truth in this
matter. | had heard that snakes had
a habit of milking cows and that in
some instances calves had been starved
TO death on this account. The farmer
| vas stopping with had a fine Jersey
COW with her first calf. She was al
lowed to range in the woods. There
was a fine natural p%asturage in that
section of the State and all the men in
that part of the country were in the
habit of allowing their stock to run at
large.
THE COW was giving three gallons
of milk a day. She was a prize and
her owner was proud of her. Sudden
ly she began to show up in the evening
with an empty bag. For awhile the
owner was very much puzzled over the
matter and was inclined to think that
some malicious person was robblng
him Of the cows milk. Finally, how
ever, it dawned on him that the thing
might be explained in some other way.
He had heard about the snake theory
and he came to the conclusion that a
snake was to blame for the condition
of the cows bag when she came home
at evening. There was every indica-
ton that a snake was doing the work.
| We finally reached the conclusion that
a snake was guilty. No, we never
caught the reptile robbing the COW of
her milk, but we always felt reason
ably certain that her bag was being
robbed in this way. We put her up
where we could watch her and after
that we had no more trouble. She
yielded her three gallons of milk a day
as was her wont before the period of
her mysterious robbery. My own view
is that snakes will steal the milk of
COWS if they get a chance and | base
the opinion on the case in point"

there, however. the instructors cared

We're ignorant of natural science. In

it might have been better occupied on
the classics. On one occasion we were
