Buxton, N. OAK, Sept. IL (SpeciaD.
Mr.. B. L. Skrivseth of this place
has been added to the steadily grow
ing following that Dodd's Kidney
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.
II must say" says Mr.. Skrivseth,
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best remedy for Kidney Trouble l
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.
Il also took three boxes more and
they made me feel better and stronger

Dodd's Kidney Pills have never yet
failed to cure any Kidney disease from

ing in the park with party of friends
and arranged with the driver of the
stage to hold up him and his passen-

ordered to line up at the roadside,
They did as commanded, and while
one of the bandits" covered them
with rifle, the other went through
their pockets, securing all the avail
able cash and jewelry. When the
bandits had secured everything valu.

false whiskers and other DISCUSSES and

BATTLEFIELD ANGEL.
NOBLE LIFE WORK OF MISS
CLARA BARTON.
Her Career Recalled by Tier Resigna-
ton from the Presidency of the Amer
lean Red Cross Society-Succeeded by
Mrs. John a. Logan.

After nearly half century of loving
service to her suffering fellow mortals,
during which she has personally di.
rected the relief work iii times of war,
fires, food, famines, pestilence' ana
epidemics, she who is one OF tie
warmest and wisest humantarians or
the age, whose tender~nursing, loving
sympathy and unfailing courage won
Tor her among the soldier boys or
'GO-'65 the name of Tile Angel Of the
Battlefield" Miss Clara Barton, has
stepped down from the high place she
has so long occupied and has been sue
ceeded by Mrs. John A. Logan, as pres
ident Of the American Red Cross Asso-
citation.
The resignation of Miss Barton, as
the head of the Red Cross Society in
this country, is the elimination of sew
oral years Of internal strife In that
body. A number of the members OF
the Board of Management have been
demanding an accounting Of the funds
Of the society and suggesting that Miss
Barton retire from the active presi-
dency. There has been of late consld-
cradle distrust of the management OF
Red Cross affairs because Of Miss Bar
toms age and her inability to manage
il person the business of the great or
ganization. Be that as it may, when
one thinks of the good that Miss Bar
ton has done for her country and hu-
mainly, Of her noble life work and
sweet character, it seems deplorab!e
that in the evening Of her splendid
