Sound as a Dollar.

Monticello, Mimi, Aug. 7th.-Mr. ].
w. Moore of this place stands as liv-
ing proof of the fact that Bright's Dis
ease, even in the last stages, may be
perfectly and permanently cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Mr.. Moore says: I'm 1898 three
reputable physicians after careful
examination told me that would die
with Bright's Disease inside of year.
My feet and ankles and legs were
badly swollen; l could hardly stand
on my feet and had given up all hopes
of getting cured when a travelling
salesman told me that he himself had
been cured of Bright's Disease two
years before.
He said he had taken to his bed
and expected to die with it, but that
he had been cured by remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
II commenced taking them at once
and am thankful to say that they
saved my life. After a short treat
ment 1 was completely restored to
good health and am now as sound as
a dollar"

DEATH OF cHAPPELLE.
yellow Fever Carries off Archbishop Of
Louisiana.

New Orleans, Aug. 10.-A sudden
change in the condition yesterday
speedily eliminated in the death of
Archbishop p. L. Chappelle, of the do.
cese Of Louisiana. The end came at
1850 D. m. The news of the arch
bishops death created profound
shock
Monsignor Chappelle was taken Ill.
with yellow fever last Friday. He
had returned to the city three days be-
fore, having just completed a tour of
Louisiana, and announced on his ar
rival his intention of cooperating I'M
the efforts then in full swing to stamp
out the fever. The archbishop, how
ever, left his house only on one occa-i
sion before he was taken sick. On
Friday he complained of the symptoms
which are the forerunner of yellow
fever. Dr. La Rue, the archbishop's
physician, Friday diagnosed the case
as a genuine attack of yellow fever.
In 1891 Archbishop Chappelle was
made bishop coadjutor of Santa Fei
and became archbishop of that diocese,
in 1894. Three years later. on the
death of Archbishop Jansen, he was.
named as archbishop of New Orleans
The year following after the Spanish
American war he was appointed by the
Pope as apostolic delegate 70 Cuba
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
He went to the Philippines and
spent much time there in connection
with the settlement of conditions
growing out of the change of sove-
reignty in the Islands. He took up
the cause of the friars, and though his
work was most difficult, the results
achieved received the approval of the
vatican.
During his stay in Manila he was
thrown constantly into contact with
Secretary Taft. then the governor of
the islands, and they became warm
personal friends.

FEAR FOR NIAGARA
IMMENSE VOLUME OF WATER
DIVERTED FROM FALLS.
Commercial Enterprises are Making
Heavy Drains on This Famous Shows
Place-Its Tremendous Electrical
Power tho lnducement.

Niagara Falls, August 1.-THE
volume of water being diverted
from the historic Niagara Falls is
reaching such proportions that the
people of the State are trying to pass
laws which will prevent the POSSIBLE
fly of a practical wiping out OF this
sublime natural spectacle.
Water sufficient to develop nearly
nve hundred thousand horsepower
continuously, twenty-four hours per
day, for industrial purposes. is now
being taken from the river above the
Falls, and further developments re-
curing more water are contemplated.
Probably the largest user of the
electricity produced by the waters of
the mighty river is the concern which
by the five or six thousand degree
heat Of the electric furnace brings
lime and coke into unwilling union,
thereby producing what is known as
Calcium Carbide.
Dry calcium carbide is lifeless as
so much broken rock, but in contact
with water it springs into activity and
begets abundantly the gas Acetylene.
The light resulting from the ignition
of acetylene is the nearest approach
to sunlight known.
These facts, though Of compara-
lively recent discovery, were soon
seized by men with an eye to the COM
mercial possibilities and to-day cal
cium carbide is being shipped every
where and used for dispelling dark
ness in buildings Of all descriptions,
from the ordinary barn of the farmer
to the country villa of the wealthy, as
we'll as for lighting the streets of a
large number of towns. Acetylene
can be easily and cheaply installed
and the manufacture and sale OF
acetylene generators has become a
business of recognized standing, has
assumed large proportions and Ia
steadily growing.

sABY's INSTINCT
ehows He Knew What Food to Stick


To.
Forwarding a photo of a splendidly
handsome and healthy young boy, a
happy mother writes from an Ohio
town:
"The enclosed picture shows my +
year-old Grape-Nuts boy.
Since he was 2 years old he has
eaten nothing but Grape-Nuts. He
demands and gets this food three
times day. This may seem rather
unusual, but he does not care for any
thing else after he has eaten his
Grape-Nuts, which he uses with milk
or cream. and then he is through with
his meal. Even on Thanksgiving day
he refused turkey and all the good
things that make up that great din
ner, and ate his dish of Grape-Nuts
and cream with the best results and
none of the evils that the other fool
ish members of the family expert
enced.
He II never sick, has a beautiful
complexion, and Is considered a very
handsome boy. May the Postum Com
pany prosper and long continue to fur
nish their wholesome food!" Name
