-One Of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded in Louisa county is that
OF Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place. Mrs.
Hart was in bed for eight months and
when she was able to sit up she was
all drawn up on one side and could
not walk across the room. Dodds Kid
ney Pills cured her. Speaking of her
cure, Mrs. Hart says:
Yes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after L was in bed for eight months,
and l know the cure was complete for
that was three years ago, and 1 have
not been down since In four weeks
from the time l started taking them
was able to make my garden. Nobody
can know how thankful l am to be
cured or how much I feel l owe to,

This case again points out how much
the general health depends on the kid
neys. Cure the kidneys with Dodd's.

suffering the human family is heir to

STRONGER THAN MEAT.
Iudee,s Oninion of Grane-Nuts.

A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.
A gentleman who has acquired jul
dicial turn Of mind from experience on,
the bench out in the SunfloWer State
writes a carefully considered opinion
as to the value Of Grape-Nuts as food.
He says:
For the past five years Grape-Nuts
has been prominent feature in our,
bill of fare.
1.-THE crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indispens-
able necessity in my family's every
day life.
ut has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled US to-
practically abolish pastry and pies,
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and.
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect,
physical condition-as a preventive Of
disease it Is beyond value l have been,
particularly impressed by the bene-
fetal effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t clears
up the complexion wonderfully.
''As to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
perience is that one small dish OF
Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound OF
meat for breakfast, which is an I'M
portant consideration for anyone 1T
satisfies the appetite and strengthens
the power of resisting fatigue, While
it's use involves none Of the disagree

MURDERED IN HOTEL.
Another Mysterious Killing Battles the
New York Police Depart
ment

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-What may
develop into another mysterious hotel
murder like that of Jacob II. Thompson
a we'll known editor, was discovered yes
terday in an obscure hOstelry at Sixth
avenue and Flfty-siXth street.
Finds Him Dead
Through the odor of escaping gas, a
maid in the hotel was drawn to room
occupied for the night previous by Alfred
Krattinger, a public accountant, who
lived with his wife, father and brothers
in West F'ifty-second street. The room
was broken open and Krattinger found
dead in the bed. At first it appeared to
be commonplace suicide, such as cor
oners handle q dozen times a week. A
systematic examination of the body and
the room was made by the detectives.
Evidence of Murder.
1t was observed that the transom of
the room was half open while the room
showed none of the usual preparations
for suicide by gas. When the coroner
came to examine the body closely he no
ticed that the face was not blackened or
discolored as frequently happens in
bruise just over the right ear, near the
temple, as might have been caused by a
hard fall or blow from a heavy stick
or blunt weapon. The coroner could not
determine from curSory examination
whether the skull was fractured. That
will be determined today by the coron-
er's physician.
ValuabIes All Gone.
Krattinger's brothers told the coro-
ner that there should have been found
on the body diamond pin, worth
$1100 and a considerable amount of
cash. The only thing found in the
pockets was a cheap pocket knife. There
was no trace of the diamond pin.
1t was subsequently ascertained by
the coroner that the hotel register had
been tempered with and the time of
Krattinger's arrival changed The hotel
employees professed entire ignorance as
to who made the change.
Slayer Escaped by Window.
Krattinger's father and brothers de-
clared after the examination that they
were positive the accountant had been
murdered in his room early yesterday
morning for his money and pin, and
that the thief and murderer had es-
capped by the Sixth avenue window.

Patchouli Plant and It's Uses.

The patchouli plant is a native of In
dia and China, where it is quite COM
mon. The leaves and branches possess
a musk-like perfume, and upon distilla-
ton furnish the essence of patchouli.
1t resembles the sage plant in height
and form, but its leaves are less tieshy.
The first impOrtations were received in
London about 1850. At that time real
India shdWls were selling at extrava-
CANT prices, and buyers identified the
genuine by their odOr-they were per-
fumed with patchouli. French manu-
facturers. in order to initiate the India
shawls successfully, imported the plant
and perfumed their wares with the es-
sense thus passing off their goods as
genuine. Since that time perfumers
have taken ND the industry for their
own account. The odor Of patchouli
essence IS so strong that few people can
endure it. Therefore. it is always used
in diluted form. Placed in drawers and
closets, it is a protection against moths

WOOD FOR RAILROAD TIES.
Supply in Minnesota and Wisconsin Not
Unlimited

The Investigation into the supply of
woods for railroad ties in Minnesota and
WISCONSIN. which the forest service is
making in cooperation with the North
ern Pacific railroad. is bringing out the
tact that the supplies in those states are
by no means unlimited. Oak is, of
course, largely used. Tamarack. which
on account of its strength and weight,
has become come the standard for railroads
sprung into demand for sawn mmher
for which use it's market price has shnf
up far above the price paid by railroads
for ties. White cedar, valued because
though durable, it is so light as to save
freight charges, may hold out for some
time longer in the more accessible re-
gions if it is not diverted, like the tama-
rack, to other uses.
The object of the study is to reach
an accurate estimate of supplies and to
suggest the exploitation of inferior
woods, such as the jack pine and the
white birch, in case these woods are
found to take preservative treatment
successfully. The jack pine, the red or
Norway pine and the European larch
are being considered as substitutes by
the forest service.-Washington Star

THE PICTURESQUE DIARIES
OF EUROPE.
Government Investigation Shows
Them Below the American Standard.
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

We often hear of the model diaries
of Europe, cooperative dairies into
which speck of dirt is never allowed
to lodge, of Danish butter that is in
truth dream and brings fabulous
price, of eggs guaranteed fresh and
countrywide, and other reports of the
way they do things on the fine old
farms of Europe until one begins to
think that one can not be more than
half living in this country. But how
much of this sort of thing will bear
investigation and close analysis?
The Dairy Division of the United
Safes Department of Agriculture is a
progressive and useful institution and
has done several things to destroy
prevailing fallacies and incidentally
establish the fact that American meth
DDS as a whole, in at least some phases
of agriculture, are as far if not farther
advanced than those of any other coun-
try.
Not the least interesting of such in
formation gathered was that collected
by the late Henry E. Alvord, for many
years the chief Of the Dairy Division,
in tour of the countries of Europe
