This Is Miraculous.

Manhattan, Kans., March 14.-One
of the strangest cases that has ever
been heard of in Riley Co. is that of
the three-year-old daughter of Mr..
Jonas Brubaker of this place.
Some time ago the little girl took
whooping cough, which was followed
by pneumonia. When the pneumonia
left her, she was taken down with
malaria fever with at times symptoms
of Spinal Meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safe
ly through these troubles, but after
the fever Bright's Disease set in and
the doctors gave her up. Her father
tells the rest of the story:
I'VE began to give her Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and after she had taken
about three and half boxes. she was
entirely cured. Now she is well as
any child, running and playing as il
nothing had ever been the matter
with her. The doctors said she was
beyond the reach Of medicine. -Dodd' 8
Kidney Pills certainly saved our lit
tie girls life. when she was so far
into the chronic stage of Bright's
Disease that we thought nothing could
save her."

Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in A-pound pack
ages. and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a
12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose OF before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time anu
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

trict engineer for the United States
Reclamation Service for Nevada. has
recently been in Washington and
reports the satisfactory progress Of the
Truckee-Carson reclamation project,
Of which he has immediate charge.
This project contemplates the utiliz-

about 375.O0O acres Of sage brush des-

will furnish homesteads of about 80

population of the state will be in.

the erection of dam which will form

Safe on the Plate,

Public school regulations require
that the pupils shall be over the
threshold of the classroom door when
the bell rings at o'clock, or be ac.
counted late. Yesterday morning a
little girl was within foot or two of
the door to her classroom when the
bell rang. At the same instant she
stumbled and fell. Realizing that If
she stopped long enough to pick her.
self up she would be late. she threw
herself forward as a baseball player
slides for base, and managed to pro-
Ject her outstretched arms and head
into the classroom. In this position
she looked up at the teacher and said:
I'm in"
The teacher grasped the situation in
q moment. and. without smile, rem
dered her decision:
"Safe!"
The little girl picked herself up and
went to her accustomed seat, to be
marked early on the records of her

COMPLETE mAsToooN.
Body Found on the Yukon With Hair
and Skin Intact.

The complete form of a mastodon
has been discovered at Hillside, on
Quartz creek. according to dispatch
received by the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer from Dawson, Y. T. 1t was
imbedded thirty-eight feet in the earth
when found. and 1t necessitated the
use of steam thawing plant to un-
earth the immense animal.
The hair and skin Of the beast are in
a perfect state Of preservation. al
though the flesh is somewhat decom-
posed and the big tusks. which remain
fastened to the skull are in good con-
dition. 1t is estimated that the skele-
ton is worth $4,000, as there are but
one or two OF them in existence in as
good condition as this. The masto-
don was discovered buried in an old
channel well in the zone of almost per-
petual frost, which accounts for its
good preservation.

Why We Sell to Canada.

A Canadian trade journal, speaking
against the preferential tariff in favor
of Great Britain, says: In the list of
200 enumerated dutiable articles i'm.
ported into Canada in 1903 there are
forty-one opposite the names Of which
is printed the suggestive word none"

failed to supply us with one dollars

us. of the identical goods. to the value
of $4.S97,660; and it will also be OBJ
served that in addition to the failure
alluded to, there are fifty-one other
items not one of which our imports
from Great Britain amounted in value
to as much as $1,000. The aggregate
value of these fifty-one articles
amounted to only $15,763. while our
imports of the identical goods from
the United States amounted to $5,-
276,734. These are startling facts,
which should command attention"
