Found at Last.

Aston, Mich, March 1Sth.-(Spe
cial.)-After suffering for twenty
years from Rheumatism and Kidney
Troubles, and spending a fortune in
doctors and medicines that brought
him no relief, Mr.. James Culet of this
place has found a complete cure for
all his aches, pains and weakness, In
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Naturally Mr.. Culet feels much elat
ed over his cure and gives great
credit to the remedy that gave him
health.
"Yes," Mr.. Culet says, "my rheuma
tism and Kidney Troubles are all
gone and l feel like new man.
Dodd's Kidney Pills did it. Before
used them l spent small fortune
on doctors and one remedy and anoth'
er. l cheerfully recommend Dodds
Kidney Pills to anyone suffering from
Rheumatism or Kidney Trouble
Dodds Kidney Pills always cure
sick kidneys. Healthy kidneys take
all the uric acid-the cause of Rheu
matism-out of the blood. That's why
Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure
Rheumatism.

Relief of Poverty in England.

of provisions, the poor people of Eng
land rose in many parts and seizet
the corn from the -four mills, which
they sold at reasonable prices, giving
the money to the rightful owners-i
Nell-conducted riot that caused Law
to be passed against the eighteenth
century cornering of wheat But, {
severe winter following, the distres!
became so great that the London com
mon council ordered $4,000 to be sub

"a subscription book should be opened
for the donations of all well-disposet
persons" by this noble PLAN" says
of writer of that time, great numbers
of people were happily relieved from
the most abject state of distress"

WHAT MAKES THE SKY sLUE7
A Discussion of an Interesting Sub
ject.

ject.
The sky has long been a puzzle to
physicists. There are two mysteries
to explain tits reflection of light
and it's color. The old view was that
the blue of the sky was due simply to
atmospheric oxygen. Oxygen has a
faint blue tint, and the idea was that
several miles of the gas, even when
diluted as it Is in the air, would have
a bright blue color. But this did not
account for the intense illumination
of the sky, and Of recent years Tyn-
dall's "dust theory" or some modifica-
ton of it, has been generally accepted
This regards the blue color as an opti-
cal effect, like the color of very thin
smoke, due to excessively fine parti-
cles floating in the air, which would
also account for the large proportion
of reflected light from the sky. Re-
cent calculations by Professor Spring,
of Liege Belgium, however, indicate
that the dust in the air is not suffi-
cient in amount, nor finely enough d.
vided, to support this explanation, and
he rejects 1t for this and other reasons.
He has gone back to the old-oxygen
theory, and accounts for the general
illumination Of the sky on the hypothe-
sis, first advanced by Hagenbach, that
intermingled layers Of different den
sity, in the atmosphere give 1t the
power Of reflecting light.-From Sue
cess Magazine.

Does Your Doctor Know

What's the matter with you? II he does,

many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney dis
ease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostraHon another with pain here
and there, and, in this way they all pre-
sent alike to themselves and their easy

separate and distinct diseases, for which
he, assuming them to be such, prescribes
his pills and potions. In reality they are
all only symptoms caused by some womb
disease. The physician, ignorant OF the
cause OF suffering. encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The suf-
fering patient gets no better but proba-
bly, worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.

would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and instituting comfort In

Pe.ru.na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind.
Peruna is perfectly harmless. 1t can
be used any length of time without ac-
curing drug habit. Peruna does not
produce temporary results. 1t is perma-
nent in it's effect
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
multitude of homes where Peruna has

Such a thing could not be possible If
Peruna contained any drugs of a mar
cotic nature.

an auction sociable at the home of C.

Grange.
A large crowd was on hand when S.
B. Hendricks announced that the
ladies were to be sold under the ham
mer. The women were wrapped up irf
sheets, with pillow cases over their
heads, so that their identity was con-
ceaIed.
The bidders, who were careful not to
get their own wives or daughters, Se-
came enthusiastic, and offered over 81
apiece IN some instances. All OF the
thirty women were finally disposed OF,
the lowest accepted bid being 10 cents.

Spelling a Nose.

In the quest of beauty many people.
but especially women, are ready to run
serious risks. There was one such
woman over in New York who was
not satisfied with the nose nature had
given her. Either there was too much
of it, or there was fault in distribu-
ton of tissue, or the organ did not
point in the right direction. Nobody
wants to follow a nose if the effort
would result in achievement of cir
Gle. Whatever was the matter, the
owner Of the nose took it to the repair
shop, where it was tinkered by der
matologist He did not succeed in in
vesting 1t with comeliness. 1t emerged
from the experience discolored, bulb
Gus, and altogether unlovely. Some
thing had to be done.
The woman next sought the court
of justice and asked for damages in
the sum of $4,000, which will strike

she got nothing. Perhaps it was that

A Kansas Christening.
What's the matter with Kansas

What's the matter with Kansas?
The historic question has again OBJ
truded itself upon the national curl
osity, and this time it comes in no
modest and retiring manner, but
rather amid noisy bands Of music and
tumultuous shouting, crying for recog-
milton and an answer. Kansas wants
to christen the new battIeship, named
in her honor, with the sweet crude
petroleum that springs from her
wealthy fields instead of with wine.
Kansas has oil on the brain.
And yet, the proposition is pos
sessed OF originality, and the picture
it draws upon the receptive lenses of
an appreciative imagination has its
features of interest. In the fore
ground stands the beautiful young
woman, selected from all the flower
of Kansan womanhood for the proud
task of naming the ship, She is
clothed in none of the fluffy f1nery
and spotless whiteness usually worn
on such an occasion, but, paying femi-

drops that fall in their direction.
And, as the proud sea monster slips
gracefully to the bosom of the sea,
the girl, furtively and half ashamed,
her lips curling the slightest bit in
disgust. wipes a clinging drop from
her dainty fingers.
Those who have the right to be on

properly interested. Yet who can
blame them if they unconsciously
take on the expression of those who,
walking along a flowery lane in sum-
mertime, sniff afar of the malodorous
approach of an automobiles The
scene is redolent of crude petroleum.

maiden who dressed in canvas bags
and oil cloth? And what man would
