why he should be held responsible.
He got crazy drunk and then mur

firm opinion of Mr. D. S. Colson, q
well-known resident of this place, and
he does not hesitate to say that cure
is Dodds 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 ne
says:
81 am only too happy to say Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me lots OF
good. I had awful pains in my hip sc
I could hardly walk. Dodd's Kidney
Pills stopped it entirely. think they
are a 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.

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children: it ruins child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a fire5rand

1essness, and nervous irritability OF
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, SO that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris'

choke you; all the senses perverted
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound
pain in the ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If SO, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.

Merchant Cannot Sell Lemon or Other
Extracts.
WITHOUT HAVING SPECIAL RIGHT.
Ruled Alcoholic Compound by Inter

Washington, Oct. 16.-Replying to
an inquiry regarding the construction

Office on alcoholic compounds labeled

Yerkes of the international revenue
bureau holds as follows:
The ruling does not apply to toilet
articles, whatever the quantity of alco-
hol contained therein may be, nor
does it apply to the various essences
or extracts to which you refer (viz.:
of lemon, vanilla, cinnamon, etc., if
these preparations are such as are
known to the legitimate grocery or
drug trade as household articles for
culinary and other uses, and mot as
beverages.
Where, however, alcoholic com
pounds called essence of lemon, van

ures or essence of ginger, contain, as
you state, mere trifie of medicament

further say are usually sold by coun-
try merchants, especially in prohibit
ton districts, are found by the local
internal revenue officers or agents to
be generally sold or used as bever-
ages, every merchant thus selling
them without holding the requisite
special tax stamp as a liquor dealer
under the internal revenue laws, will
be liable to criminal prosecution in
addition to the assessment against
him of special tax and penalty, and
the manufacturers of these so-called
essences and extracts, who are shown
by the facts elected to have made
these alcoholic compounds for sale in
prohibition districts, will be held liza.

fierS and liquors"
The commissioner has also said that
where malt extracts composed largely
of fermented liquor are labeled and
sold as medicines, it is for the manu-
facturerS to show that these extracts
are so combined with drugs as to be
genuine medicines, not coming within

Dignity of August.

Few persons know why August has
thirty-one days. July, which takes its
name from julius Caesar, has thirty
one days, and Augustus, who COM
pleted the calendar, declined to sub
nit to the indignity of seeing his own
month branded with the inferiOrity
of one day less. The astronomers had
accordingly to reshuffie the lunar
cards, and after some perplexity hit
upon the expedient of shearing twenty
four hours from February's glory in
order that August might face the
world on a footing of perfect equality
with July.
