Kushequa, Pa, Aug. 1.-(SpeciaD-
In this section of Pennsylvania there
IL a growing belief that for such Kid
ney Diseases as Rheumatism and
Lame Back there is only one sure
cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
This belief grows from such cases as
that of Mrs. M. L. Dawson Of this
place. Sac tells the story herself as
follows:
IL have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine have ever taken.

and can only say that my back
hasn't bothered me since | took
DoGd's Kidney Pills"
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered Won
derful If it were not that others are
reporting similar results daily. Kusne-
qua is fast arriving at a verdict that
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism"

LARGER sleeplna Car Rerths.

One of the few railroad companies
that owns and operates the sleeping
cars in service on its lines, is the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul.
The sleeping cars on that line were
formerly Pullman cars, operated by
the Pullman Company, but for a
dozen years past the railway company
has owned and operated the sleeping
car equipment. In building its sleep
ing cars, departure from the old
standard pattern of cars has been
made to the extent Of adding about
six inches to tle width and height
of the sleepers. This permits Of
wider and higher berths. Length has
also been added to berths, so that
comfort is found in them which Is
lacking in ordinary sleeping cars.
These large cars are In service on
practically all Of the linee of the st.
Paul Road, and are very popular with
the travelling public.
