Union Citizens Gladly Testify.

1t is testimony like the following
that has placed "the old Quaker
Remedy" so far above competitors.
When people right here at home raise
their voices in praise there is no room
left for doubt. Read the public state

81 suffered an attack of measles 20
years ago end it left me with case of
kidney complaint. The result was a
lame, weak and aching back, and
have endured agony with it. Doan's
Kidney Pills have been a blessing in
my home. They brought the first re-
lief that l experienced in twenty
years. My wife also suffered severely
from backache, and there were other
evidences of kidney disorders, the
sccretions being irregular and contain
ing a sediment. Since taking Doan's
Kidney Pills the kidney action has
been normal and the backache has
disappeared. She feels like another

BUTTER WEIGHT.

What One Observer Learned From n
Visit to n Grocery.
Live and learn. 1 heard a respect
able looking, motherly soul, making
purchases for the family, say to the
grocer, "Be sure to give me butter
weight, now. for I've been a long time
customer of yours" Certainly. Mrs.
MacLarcn." lie replied cheerily. "you
are entitled to it II any one is." Yet
she bought no butter.
What is butter weight !" I inquired
when she had gone. "Why, that's just
a little sop we hand out to some Of
our old customers" said the salesman
Instead Of making an exact pound Of
anything they buy we make 1t a frac-
tiOn over, which tickles them nearly
to death. or course we are particular
to let them see they are getting more
than their moneys worth; hence we
keep their trade"
1 next asked how the store made up
for this extra allowance. That's dead
easy" was the reply, "but as 1t Is a
trick Of the trade 1 don't think we
ought to tell everybody" Perhaps
other customers receive short weight 2"
1T they do. we don't let 'em know It,"
Maybe your prices are Just a fFac-
tion over the marketr' Never! We
sell cheaper than anybody" Maybe
your goods are inferiorT At that he
quailed.
Referring to dictionary, learned
that butter weight Is an allusion to a
custom Of exacting seventeen or eight
cen ounces or even more to the pound
Of butter, possibly on the ground that
the water in 1t would soon svaporats
and bring the pound down to sixteen
ounces. In Scotland tron weight (twen-
ty-one to twenty-eight ounces to the
pound was used In buying butter

THE WEARING OF Boards.
| AZ One Tine Tax Was ExacteA
For tho RRivileke.

AZ One Tine q Tax Was ExacteA
For the Privilege.
In days Yono by tho wearing Of n
beard was a privilege that had to be
paid for, the tax on every beard Of a
fortnight's growth being 3s. Al. In the
gracious days OF Queen Elizabeth.
For over half a century the monarchs
Of Russia made their male subjects
who wore boards pay into the rational
exchcquer. This tax was imposed by
Peter the Great In 17O5, the mobiles hav-
Ing to dlsburse 100 rubles ana the low
er classes kopeck. The tax on boards
was kept up by Peters four SUCCESSORS
on the throne Of all the Russias, and 1t
was finally repealed In 11G2 by Cath
erinc III. France, too, Mt sne time i'm
posed beard tax upon the clergy,
which was paid by those who could
afford it, although the large majority
had to yield to the razor's onslaught.
In the fourteenth century shaving
was popular with young men, while the
old men were attached to forkcd
boards. The latter custom Is referred
to by Chaucer. who in d-1Crlbing an
assembly says, "a merchant was there
with q forkcd beard" Boards were
worn In various shapes and forms dur
Ing the relgns OF Elizabeth, James L.
and Charles l., as the poems, plays and
other literary productions Of those
periods amply testify. In his "Anato-
mic Of Abuses" Stubbs alludes to the
barber who was accustomed to ask
his client whether he wished his beard
"cut to look terrible to your enemy or
nmiable to your friends, grim and stern
In countenance or pleasant aid de-
mure."
William Harrison, a Clergyman from
, whom one gains many peeps Mt the six
tecnth century, refers to some Of the
styles Of boards Mt that period. II n
! face happened to be "platter-llke," a
long. slender beard would make II seem
, the narrower. II 1t be weasel beaked,
then "much hear left on the cheekes
will make the owner locke like bow

new YORK SETS PACE.
In the Treatment of tuberculosis Says
DR.. Osler.

Washington, May 1S.-"In spite of its
frivolity, in spite of it's size, in spite of
its - other things which I hesitate to
allude to, New York has set the pace in
legislation, Institutions and treatment
of tuberculosis" DR.. William Osler
made this statement today in an ad-
dress following that of President DR..
Edward L. Trudeau, in opening the first
annual meeting of the National assOcia-
ton for the study and prevention of
tuberculosis.
Dr. Osler said that education regard
ing tuberculosis was the thing to strike
for He discussed this feature under
the heads: Education of the public, of
the physician and of the patient" The
public, he said, was awake, but sitting
on the edge of the bed and not yet
dressed. In this awakening, however.
he asserted much had been accomplish
ed over past conditions When the pub
lie got dressed he predicted that much
activity would follow and much would
be accomplished toward stamping out
tuberculosis.
Many physicians from all sections of
the country are in attendance and a
number of members of state boards of
health who have just concluded their
annual conference are present. The sub
ject of tuberculosis will be discussed in
all of its phases for two days

CHURCH UNION.
It Is Overshadowing Topic at Presby-
terrain General Assembly.

Winona Lake, Ind, May 1S.=The
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church opened here today. The ques-
ton which overshadowed all others
before the assembly and one which
will be approached with great caution
is that of taking the Cumberland
branch into the general assembly.
While the church in the north has
voted overwhelmingly in favor of the
proposition and the Cumberland
church has given consent by a small
ma jority, the commissioners to the
assembly realize there was difference
of opinion on the question. Presby-
terians in the southwest are against
the proposition.
In his address Rev. Addison Henry.
the retiring moderator, said the Pres
byterian church is now in the period
of its greatest prosperity. Much of the
address was on the work of young
men in the ministry and how to in
crease their number. He said the
number had declined in the past ten
years. The churchs evangelistic in
Denver and on the Pacific coast was
reviewed. He urged the preaching of
evangelistic sermons. For sixty years
he said the efforts of the church had
been directed toward doctrines. For
the next fifty years these efforts
should be given to evangelistic work.
Former Moderator Robert F. Coyle of
Denver was among those on the plat
