Mr.. B. L. Skrivseth of this place
has been added to the steadily grow

Pills have in this part of the country
Mr.. Skrivseth gives two reasons.
for his faith in the Great American.
Kidney Cure. The first is that they
cured his wife and the second is that
they cured himself.

chat Dodds Kidney Pills are the
best remedy for Kidney Trouble I
ever knew. My wife had Kidney Dis
ease for years and she tried all kinds
of medicine from doctors but it did
not help her any. An advertisement
led her to try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
The first box helped her SO much
that she took eight boxes more and
now she is cured.
81 also took three boxes myself
and they made me feel better and
stronger in every way"

failed to cure any kidney disease

A FLOATING CITY

1t is a strange, half-fioating city, this
Bangkok, oyerrun by pariah dogs and
crows; oriental despite its improve
ments, and one of the most interesting
cities in the Far East Yet a sad city
for the visitor with mind apart from
margins and money-saving machinery
At every turning are evidences of de-
cay of native art, and in their stead
the hideously commonplace things that
bear the legend made in Germany
One would scarcely believe to-day, af-
ter visit to Bangkok, that at one time
the Siamese were distinguished, even
among Asiatic artisans, in silk weav-
ing, in ceramics, in INCORPORATING and
in silver-smithing Yet the royal mus
cum discloses treasures not found else
where in the world, which serve to re-
mind how far Siam has fallen from
the place she once occupied among the
art-producing nations of the world.
When, therefore, we behold a people
discouraging and losing their splendid
ancient arts and giving instead a ready
market to the cheap trash which
comes out of the West, we may hardly
look for native industrial development.
