officer to keep record Of the births,
deaths, and marriages, as they occur In

porting births. We repeat that request.
Also that the recently born child be
named as soon as name good enough
can be found, and reported to the attend
Ing physician, or to me. Please aid US

Letter to Sturgeon Bros Lumber Yard
Dodge City, kans.
Gentlemen: Messrs Leachmau & Edeln,
Grafton, w. Va. had been selling paint,
which they thought well Of; and this had
occurred.
They had sold a customer IS gallons of
1t to paint his house. A few years later,
they sold the same man Devoe lead. and
zinc, the same number of gallons to paint
the same house. He had 7 gallons left.
The point of the tale Is: II gallons
Devoe paints an 1S-gallon house.
OF course, that isn't all.
Why does II gallons Devoe go as far as
IS gallons Of other paint? Because It Is
all paint, all true, no sham, and full
measure,
But that isn't all. Devoe lasts longer.
No, no; you haven'tgot to wait ten years
to find that out Ten thousand people
know 1t. We've got their names. Our
agents know them; they think heap of
Devoe. There's no difficulty in showing
your townspeople what to expect of
Devoe. $40 will paint $l5 house; and
the paint'll last twice as long.
Yours truly
F. W. DEvoE & Co.,
New York, Chicago and Kansas City.

And the little mischief went away gigglin' and
with her hand clapped over her mouth, meanin',

room she told me that there to be the speert

Of me, few PAGES distance, were two
ladies, whom took TO be mother and
daughter. The ladies were neatly and
tastefully dressed. and in their walk,
which seemed to be somewhat hurried,
they were looking neither TO the right
nor left, but, rather, held their eyes
upon the sidewalk near their feet. The
two women almost suddenly stopped in
the middle Of the walk, and seemed to
be looking for some way to escape what
to me appeared TO wholly an imagin-
ary danger. After passing the two,
however, I very quickly discovered the
cause Of their sudden halt and bewild-

What might have been a serious acci-
dent occurred on the Sumpter Valley
railroad Saturday afternoon. Two very
large boulders rolled down the mountain
side. and cut the track in pieces in sew
eral places destroying rails and smash
ing ties into kindling wood. The bould-
ers were as large as a good sized house,
and fell just ahead of train, which
stopped in time to avoid being smashed.
The heavy rains in that vicinity are
supposed to have started the land

Rheumatism

Like Neuralgia, is now known
to be a nervous disease. The
kidneys become weak through
lack of nerve energy, and fail
to filter the uric acid from the
blood; this acid attacks and
burns the nerves and muscles,
and consumes the oil in the
joints, producing inflammation,
fever, swelling-pain.
To cure Rheumatism, then,
you must restore the kidney
nerves and muscles, and neu-
tralize the effect of the acid
upon the joints and tissues
with DIR. Miles Restorative
Nervine, a nerve medicine,
which has made many cures of
this painful disease. Nervine
strengthens the kidney nerves
and increases the circulation,
and relief is assured.
