For GROWING Girls,

West Pembroke, Me-, April "a
Mrs. A. l.. Smith. of this place, says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by
the following experience:
my daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and
would then pass off. In month che
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and
was very yellow; even the whites of
her eyes would be yellow.
''The doctors gave us no encourage
ment. they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. OF course. we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about a dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally, when she is
not feeling we'll Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice Of
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing. they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and ensure a healthy. happy
future for them.

Flowers and Character.

That which surrounds us forms our
character. If we live in the midst of
filth we cannot keep 1t secret. The
world turns it's knowing eye on us,
looks beneath the surface, sees our
inner selves, our degraded minds and
our cold. cruel hearts.
If we live surrounded by the beau.
ties OF life. the world knows, too. Our
hearts grow kind and sympathetic and
our thoughts high and pure.
We all know that this is true. Then
is it not our plain duty to surround
our little children with every lovab!e,
uplifting thing the world affords? Is
it not our duty to ourselves to sur.
round ourselves with everything
which will refine our thoughts and
help to form within us an admirable
character? We owe 1t to our children,
to ourselves and to society.
Probably the purest and most beau.
tiful things on earth are flowers. Can
you not imagine character grown in

Radium solution for Cancer.

Experiments now under way at the
Flower hospital in New York City are
reported by the World to indicate the
discovery OF an almost certain cure for
cancer. It consists of a new method
for the application of radium. Won
derful things were expected of radium.
and Its discovery by Professor Curie
and his wife had barely been an
nounced when leading scientists be-
gan striving to find way in which the
new force could be used to destroy dis
ease germs. All these practically
failed. Now. however. a chemist Of
New York claims to have succeeded in
dissolving radium and that the result
ing solution exerted all the activity Of
the pure radium.
Surgeons and physicians of the
Flower hospital staff decided to give
the solution trial and selected wo-
man eighty-two years old, who was
dying from a cancer on the instep Of
her left foot.

the doctors say. the cancer dropped off
and showed healthy flesh beneath.
Nothing remained but to heal the It's

NIAGARA Water Power.

The commissioners of Queen Victo
ria park, on the Canadian side Of Nj
agara falls, show proper sense of the
condition now affecting that majestic
cataract. They have just issued their
nineteenth annual report and laid 1t
before the Ontario Legislature, set
ting forth that halt must be called
in the granting Of franchises at the
falls and that too many have been
given away already. Three Of them
are now in the possession of private
companies and fourth, permitting the
creation Of 100000 more horsepower
from the Chippewa river is under con-
sideration. This will make an aggre-
gate on the Canadian side of 475.O0O
horsepower. which the commissioners
think should not, at the present time,
be exceeded. If more are be given
hereafter they should cost the grantees
more. and in particular care should be
taken that the shores above and be-
low the falls be not marred by un-
slightly buildings.

ARE eLonDs TO DISAPPEAR,
Probability That in the Future We
Shall All Be Brunettes.

Shall All Be Brunettes.
The somewhat startling statement
has been made that the blue eyed,
golden haired and light complexioned
variety of the human race is in the
course of extinction, and that. within
a few more generations, blonds are
likely to become so rare in the world
population that they may be looked
upon as 'curiosities, somewhat as al
biEos are to-day. The blond type has
been SO often chosen by artists and
poets to represent their noblest con-
ceptions of human beauty that no one
can regard even the bare suggestion
of its extinction without dismay.
Moreover, some of the worlds great
est races and many of its most mas
terful personalities have belonged to
times gone SO far as to aver that light
complexions. and in particular light
colored eyes. are the favored livery of
the highest genius.
This is undoubtedly an extreme and
untenable claim, yet it cannot be de-
MED that history shows an extraor-
dinary number of men and women OF
the first rank in all the higher fields
of intellect who possessed the charac-
teristic marks of the blond, and this
not only in countries where the light
type prevails, but also in lands like
Italy. where the general complexion Of
the population is dark.-Success.

CHAPTER XXI,

Having emerged from the building.
Lafitte saw, as he was locking the
door. that many of his men, armed
with guns, had gathered within the
stockade. the greater number of them
standing around another loghouse at
the Tarthermost end, where two of his
sub-caDtains, Beluche and Dominique

He went to the end of the stockade.

maniacal scream of loon came from

On the edge of the blum was Pierre,
a gun across his knees, and looking
like sentinel on guard, except that
he was stretched upon the ground

had left his chair, and was knocking
the ashes from his pipe into the fire.
