South Bend, Ind, Sept. 25th (Spe-
claD-After suffering from Kidney
Disease for three years; after taking
treatment from six different doctors
without getting relief, Mr.. ]. o. Lau-
deman Of this place found not only
relief but speedy and complete cure
in Dodd's Kidney Pills. Speaking Of
his cure Mr.. Laudeman says:
Yes, suffered from Kidney Trou-
BILE for three years and tried six doc
tors to no good Then took Just two
boxes Of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they
not only cured my kidneys. but gave
me better health in general. OF course
recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills
to others and know a number now
who are using them with good re-
suits"
Mr.. Laudeman's case is not an ex-
ception. Thousands give similar ex-
perences. For there never yet was a
case of Kidney Trouble from Back
acne to Brights Disease that Dodd's
Kidney Pills could not cure. They are
the only remedy that ever cured
Brights Disease.

at Regensburg (Ratisbon), in Bavaria
is the oldest hotel in Europe. Kins
Ferdinand |. halted at it on his way tc
his coronation in 1881, and no Other
hotel in Europe possesses records O,
such great antiquity as the Colder

have enjoyed it's hospitality.
The existing visitors books, which
date from 1919, contain the names OF
more than 500 imperial, royal and
princely personages. The room is
shown where, in 1865, the late Prince
Bismarck, at that time Prussian min
lister, slept when he came with his
sovereign to hold the conference
which was the last attempt to prevent
war between Austria and Prussia. The
negotiations were held in the 'small
hall" of the hotel, under the presiden

Why Ice STAYS on TOP.

1t is one of the most extraordinary
things in this extraordinary world,
writes Henry Martyr in the Outlook,
that water should be the sole excep-
ton to the otherwise universal law
that all cooling bodies contract and
therefore increase in density.
Water contracts as it's temperature
tails and therefore becomes heavier
and sinks until it reaches thirty-nine
degrees. At this temperature water is
the heaviest. This is the point of its
maximum density. From this point it
begins to expand. Therefore in win
ter. although the surface may be freez-
ing at temperature of thirty-two de-
grees, the water at the bottom of the
pool is six or seven degrees warmer.
Suppose that water like everything
else, had gone on contracting as it
cooled until 1t reached the freezing
point. The heaviest water would have
sunk to the lowest place and there be-
comes ice. Although it is true that

A Twelfth Niuht osrtv

merry game Of air ball. Two bright
colored paper balls are provided for
this game, also two palm leaf fans tied
with ribbons of the same colors. Two

the ball and fan in it's colors. Two

Waste Soapsuds.


Young folks must learn to keep
their eyes open If they expect to win
in the battle of life. Here is what the
quality of being wide awake" did for
one bright Frenchman. In the county
OF Yorkshire, England, there are hun
dreds OF clOth-weaving factories which
use many tons of soap every year for
securing the wool before it is spun.
The owners of these factories were
very much surprised when a French
chemist came along one day and Of
fered to buy all the soapsuds which
had been allowed to run to waste into
the sea. They gladly sold it to him,
and let him put in pipes to run it into
huge watts. When the vats were full
the Frenchman would turn acid into
the watts and wait. In a day or so all
the fat that had been used in the soap
collected at the top Of these watts, and
from this fat the Frenchman made a
fine lubricating oil which he sold to
these same factories to oil their ma
chinery. He made a fortune from this
oil, and he deserved it.
