Unprecedented Prosperity.

Unprecedented prosperity is the
present lot of the United States of
America, says the Chicago Record
Herald. A greater prosperity is the
promise of the immediate future. The
year 1905, just turned into its last
third, already has smashed records
right and left. Everything that goes to
make up business and industrial life
is on the boom, and the barometers OF
finance, of commerce, of agriculture
of building and of manufacturing, one
and all indicate the continuance of fair
skies. There isn't cloud visible any
where on the horizon.
Business has been forging ahead by
such leaps and bounds that the car.
riers have been caught short of equip.
ment with which to move products
Railroads, striving to do the best
within their power, have bewildered

An Honest opinion.

Mineral, Idaho. Oct. 16th.-(Spe-
cial. THAT sure cure has been dis
covered for those sciatic pains that
make SO many lives miserable is the
firm opinion of Mr.. d. s. Colson,
well-known resident of this place, and
he does not hesitate to say that cure
is Dodd's. Kidney Pills. The reason
Mr.. Colson is SO firm in his opinion
is that he had those terrible pains and
is cured. Speaking of the matter he
says:
Il am only too happy to say Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me lots OF
good. had awful pains in my hip so
I could hardly walk. Dodd's Kidney
Pills stopped it entirely. | think they
are grand medicine"
All Sciatic and Rheumatic pains are
caused by Uric Acid in the blood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kid
neys and healthy kidneys strain all
the Uric Acid out of the blood. With
the cause removed there can be no
Rheumatism or Sciatica.

Peat Swamp Near Concord.

Commercial utilization of unnum.
bered billions of tons of peat, lying
waste in swdmps and marches in every
part of the earth; creation of a formid-
able rival to coal and to water power
as the favorite means of carrying on
the worlds industries; invariable as
sistance to manufacturers in sections
that have heretofore been far from
their sources of supply of combustible
fuel-this, the real beginning of long
heralded era of mud-burning, may
prove to have been accomplished at
historic Lexington, on the verge of a
swamp which Lord Percy's troops
skirted on their eventful march to and
from Concord
The motive power department of the
Boston and Maine has now for several
weeks been trying this fuel on shifting
engines and for short local runs. 1t
has been found that the peat briquettes
make an exceptionally hot fire and that
the cost is less than that of coal, while
hardly any smoke comes from the
smokestacks The only disadvantage
that has appeared is one that will nor
mally disappear if the use of the bri-
quette ever becomes universal-peat

Analysis Of Medicines Open to All.

There is no public demand and
there is not the slightest public nee
essity for a law compelling the publi-
cation of the formula of proprietary
medicines" says the Committee on
Legislation of the Proprietary Asso-
ciation. Every Health Commissioner
and every Pure Food Commissioner
in the country, as well as every pri-
vate physician or chemist, if he
pleases, has the right to make an
analysis Of any proprietary medicine
and to publish the result and to tell
the public what he thinks, and there
is nothing in the world to prevent
such action. But that is not what the
agitators for such legislation want.
Their object is to destroy the sale OF
ksuch remedies entirely"
