Scores of Sistersville People Have
Learned It.

If you suffer from backache,
There is only one way to cure
it. NJ
The perfect way is to cure the
kidneys.
A bad back means sick kidneys.
Neglect it, urinary troubles fol-
low.
Doan's Kidney Pills are made
for kidneys only.
G.. W. Kennedy, retired mer-
chant of Front Street, Williams
town, W. Va, says: cit affords
me much pleasure to endorse the
statement I gave some three and a
half years ago in which 1 gave my
experience with Doan's Kidney
Pills. Some two or three years
previous to that time I was troub-
led most severely with sharp pains
across the small of my back and
other symptoms of kidney trouble.
I had considerable experience with
kidney remedies, but none of them
proved of much account until I
got Doan's Kidney Pills. Two
boxes of them positively relieved
me of all suffering. I have had
but verp little trouble with my
back or kidneys since. l have
spoken many good words for
Doan's Kidney Pills and will al
ways recommend them.

How to Feed Corn to Hogs.

While the majority Of farmers who
have a range for their hogs during the
summer cut off the corn supply almost
entirely, it is questionable if this Is the
best plan. On the other hand, 1t will
not do to feed corn entirely.
In feeding corn to pigs the best re-
suits come when it is given to them
once q day If they have grass to run
on during the day or if they have skim
milk or middlings once a day. Gu
ten meal may take the place Of the
middlings If desired. 1t will do quite
as much good and is cheaper.
There is no question about the value
Of corn at the fattening period, but
mistakes are sometimes made here In
feeding the hog too long-that is, after
it has reached about the top notch for
market. Corn fed beyond that period
Is simply wasted.-Farm Progress.

Salt, which is an article in daily
use in the humblest homes, has a
number of interesting facts concern
ing it.
Salt is used all over the world
much in the same way as water. ami
mails and human beings alike crav-
ing for it. In some parts of Africa
children will eat it in preference to
sugar, and on the Gold Coast a
handful Of salt will purchase two
slaves.
The Germans call salt "the gift of
God and used to believe that pray
ers were better answered when Of
fered near salt. In the east salt is
considered sacred. All oaths taken
over it are inyiolable, and when an
Arab offers salt to guest he guar
antees his safety.
The Romans believed that if the
salt put on a sacrifice fell off it
presaged disaster; hence the origin
Of the bad luck" attendant on salt
spilling.

jefferson Denied the "AIlioator."

Fla, last winter not more than 500
yards away from the actors pretty
cottage.
A unique figure at this resort is
"Alligator joe half breed trapper

uncouth character. A northern wo-
man, newly arrived, had evidently
heard of the human landmark and
was out looking for him, but the
only fisherman on the pier that
morning happened to be Mr.. Jeffer-

and he looked extremely uncouth

A Perfectly Happy Man,

The late John Hay was fond of
telling a story of king who once
upon a time fell into a state of deep
melancholy. Court physicians could
do nothing for him and were in de-
spair when a certain very wise man
bethought himself of the well known
cure Of sleeping in the shirt of a
perfectly happy man overnight. So
courtiers were dispatched every
where in search of the shirt of per-
fectly happy man. One by one they
returned from their fruitless search
throughout the vast kingdom. At
last only one courtier remained out,
and he, too, began to despair of find
ing the shirt Of a perfectly happy
man. 1t was just about twilight
and he was riding over a village
green when he was attracted by the
careless laughter of disreputable
beggar who was stretched full length
upon the sward.
Are YOU perfectly happy man ~
demanded the courtier, refining in
his horse.
You bet.' said the beggar
"a thousand crowns for the loan
Of your shirt" !"
But | amt got none," replied the
besgar.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

The Eyes.

People who recognize the impor-
tance Of taking care of their health
often forget that if we want to pre-
serve them it is just as necessary
to take care of our eyes. First OF
all, take care of your general
health. Poor health often leads in
directly to various eye troubles.
Then remember that straining of
the eyes is caused by dazzling
glare or a bad light. Glare and
gloom are equally bad to work in.
You need not ask which is the worse
for the eye-. One is as bad as the
other. The light should fall on
book or work from behind us. The
attitude while at work is of great
Importance. The head should, as
far as possible, be kept erect. Stoop-
ing causes an increased flow of
blood to the head and eyes. This is
injurious to them.

Precautions to Observe In the Use Of
Hard Water.

When hard water Is boiled a
yreat part of the salts in solution
ire thrown down, but owing TO the
;iolent motion of the boiling water
Iley rise from the bottom Of the
!e-sel and adhere to its sides. Quite
Jften from two to three ounces by
weight Of hard, scalellke saline mat
ter WI be found on the inside of a
kettle. Some of this gets broken
away when water is boiled and is
poured into the tea.
If on lifting the lid Of a boiling
kettle YOU see the water turbid il is
quite unfit to drink, for there are
salts in suspension-nOt in solution
and these suspended salts are
highly injurious.
When water is very hard it is a
good plan to boil the days supply
in very large pot or kettle reserved
exclusively for this and to reboil
any required quantity Of this for
each meal. In many cases of kidney
mischief it is a matter Of life and
death to get water free from saline
sediment. Then it is best to boil
the water and filter it through char
coal. 1t is useless to filter the water
first.
Kettles should be cleaned two or
three times weekly. From recent
researches of appendicitis, the dis
ease that has been SO prevalent Of
late, some medical men think that
very hard water and more especially
water containing salts that are Ell
ther in mere suspension or are easily
thrown down must be regarded as
one of the most common causes.

two and a half ounces, camphor
gum one-half ounce. Dissolve the
camphor in the alcohol and then the
shellac, adding the turpentine and
finally the vermilion. Great care
must be exercised that no blaze
comes in contact with the fumes of
the mixture, for it catches fire very
quickly. If you wish blue, use dry
prussian blue in place of the vermil-

only a sufficient amount of color.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How the Various Animals Behave
When Menaced By Fire.

Most animals are afraid Of fire
and will fly from it in terror To
Others there is fascination about a
flame, and Sey will walk into il,
even though t<.ured bv the heat.
Some fremen were talking the other
day about the conduct of animals
during a fire. \ horse in d burning
stable, they agreed, was wild with
fear, but dog was as cool in fire
as at any other time. \ dog. they
said, keeps his nose down to the
floor, where the air Is purest, and
sets himself calmly to finding his
way out. Cats in fires howl piteous-
ly. They hide their faces from the
light and crouch in corners. When
their rescuer lifts them they are, as
rule, quite docile and subdued,
never biting or scratching. Birds
seem to be hypnotized by fire and
keep perfectly still. Even the Ioqua-
ciOus parrot in fire has nothing to
say. Cows, like dogs, do not show
alarm. They are easy to lead forth
and often find their way out them
selves. Rodents seem never to have
any difficulty in escaping from fires.
The men said that in their expert
ence they had never come upon the
burned skeleton of a rat or mouse

three quarts of water and four

Take six ounces of whole white

when he swallows them he squeeze3
them in his beak and deliberately

the poisonous fluid the ants cxude.
His tail feathers are stained through
constant repetition of this process.
