HADN'T THOUGHT or THAT.
There Were Obstacles to the Free
Movement Of Doors That
Opened Outward.

There was a man who had read that it
was safer to make the doors of all houses
open outward instead of inward, says the
Chicago Tribune.
He remembered it, and when he built .
house of his own he had all the outer
doors hung in accordance with that idea. !.
One bright morning in March he moved
into his new home.
Late in the evening of the same day it
began to snow, and it kept on showing UNI
til the ground was covered foot deep.
Then the wind blew and piled the snow
In drifts.
After which it began to rain.
The rain later turned to sleet and the
mercury sank 20 degrees.
And the next morning the neighbors
were asto' ished beyond measure at the
sight of frenzied man with his head thrust
cut of second story front window of that
house, gesticulating wildly to a boy on the
sidewalk and begging him for heavens
sake to 20 and call the fire department
and have the ice and snow blasted away
from his doors so he could open them and
get out of the house!

A Wonderful Discovery.

Broadland, S: OAK, March 2s.-Quite q
sensation has. been created here by the
publication of the story of G. w. Gray,
who after a special treatment for three
months was PROSTATE and helpless and
given up to die with Bright's Disease.
Bright's Disease has always been consid.
cred ineuraole, but evidently. from the
story told by Mr.. Gray, there is a remedy
which will cure it, even in the most adj
vanced stages. This is what he says:
81 was helpless as little babe. My
wife and I searched everything and read
everything we could find about B sSJ Is
find a remedy. After many failures my
wife insisted g that should i try try d D0d IDS
when 1 decided to do so, for this remedy
met every phase of my case and in q
short time l was able to get out of bed,
and after few weeks treatment was a
strong, well man. Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved my life"
A remedy that will cure Bright's Disease
will cure any lesser Kidney Disease.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the
most wonderful discovery which modern
Medical research has given to the world.

Plump White Oysters.

Many people seem to regard the
plump. white oysters, so often served
now in restaurants, as preferable to
the grayish rather thin oysters that
the gourmet is accustomed to consider
the luscious delicacy best suited to his
taste Because of this false taste, oys-
tiers are bleached and rendered plump
by dealers on the way to local markets.
Normally, oysters are accustomed to
sea water If they are removed there
from and placed in fresh water for a
time they become much whittier than
before, and apparently grow fat be.

MANY DIV ORCES
OF lis NEW CASES IN WAPELLo
COUNTY DISTRICT COURT 80
ARE FOR DIVORCES.
Three Hundred and Twenty Cases are
on the Dockets In WapelIo County
But One State case--Many Offenders
to Appear Before the Grand Jury.

Thirty-two of the lis new cases fl
ed for trial during the August term
of the Wapello county district court
are petitions for divorce. In these petit
tions, cruel and inhuman treatment is
mentioned as the grounds for divorce
eighteen times. desertion seven times,
drunkenness five, statutory charges,
five and non-support three times.
There are on the docket in Wapello
county at the present time 800 cases
including the 115 new ones filed. One
noticeable feature is the fact that
there is in this number of cases, but
one criminal case and that is a new
hearing granted to John Harris for the
killing of Levi Woods. The Jail is full
of offenders who are being held to the
grand jury on criminal charges and
when the grand jury gets busy after
tomorrow there will in all probability
be long list of criminal hearings to
come up at the present term before
Judge Vermilion.
