Proved Beyond a Doubt.

Middlesex, N. Y, July 3.-(Special)
That Rheumatism can be cured has
been proved beyond a doubt by Mrs.
Betsey A. Clawson, well known here.
That Mrs. Clawson had Rheumatism
and had it bad, all her acquaintances
know. They also know she is now
cured Dodd's Kidney Pills did it.
Mrs. Clawson tells the story of her
cure as follows:
II was an invalid for most five years
caused by Infammatory Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds of the time. The
first year could not do as much as a
baby could do, then I rallied a little
bit and then relapse. Then year
ago the govt set in my hands and feet.
l suffered untold agony and in Au-
gust, 1908, when my husband died
could not ride to the grave.
Il only took two boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and in two weeks l could
wait on myself and saw my own wood.
l dug my own potatoes and gathered
my own garden last fall. Dodds Kid
nelly Pills cured me-"
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put
the Kidneys in shape to take all the
uric acid out of the blood.

Profits of the Packers,

There has been a great deal Of dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of ,.e
packing industry only amount to
about two per cent of the volume of
business transacted. There is no
doubt, however, that the report is cor
rect.
The census reports compiled by the
government in 1900, before the agita-
ton regarding the beef trust" began.
throw considerable light on this ques-
ton. It appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted on
a smaller margin of gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
gross margin Of profit Of 81 -four and
grist mills in Illinois, in the census
year, was nearly seven per cent on
the volume Of business The gross
margin Of fifty-one wholesale slaugh-
tering and meat packing establish
ments in Illinois was only about one
third as large, or little more than
two per cent on the volume of bust
ness.

Of being in trust" and combina-
tons would seem impossible in a bust.

But during illness and convalescence,

food should be of such character as

for the reason that its conversion into
blood and tissue lays too great a tax
upon the digestive organs. Food for
the sick should be palatable, nutri-

some knowledge of dietetics and phys.

Raising Water From a Lax.

W." GdNCs
To supply a small amount of water
from lake to a small ranch, a wind.
mill would be the most economical
form OF power, provided the surround.
ing conditions are favorable, that is
to say, provided the windmill can be
exposed to secure sufficient force of
wind. In any event the power would
have to be situated at or near the
lake, at any rate not more than 20 or
rs feet above the lake level. For this
distance, 1t would be well to lay a
large pipe, not less than w or IN
inches. The pipe should be laid on a
slope, If possible. and sharp turns
should be avoided.

DUTIES OF THE CITIZEN
How Great Progress Can Be Made in the Constant Fl
Against Tuberculosis.

DR.. s. A. Knopf in an address
briefly and clearly outlines the duty
OF each citizen in combating tubercu-
losis:
II you are in the presence Of con-
sumptive who is not yet under medi-
cal care, teach him what you know of
the prevention of the disease and ad-
wise him to seek the counsel of a COM
petent physician. II he is too poor to
pay for consultation, and too proud
to ask 1t for nothing, tell him to ap-
ply to the health department, which
Will send one of its physicians with
out cost. No tuberculosis invalid, no
matter in what stage of the disease,
whether living in a palace or in the
poorest tenement house, should be
without a medical adviser If you
meet consumptive who is ignorant
OF the precaution he should take, do
not shun him like leper, but treat
him with kindness, and convince him
that whatever he does to prevent the
spread of the disease among others
will also improve his own condition
and Increase the chances of his re-
covery. Let me tell you that clean,
conscientious consumptive is as safe
a person to associate with as any
body. If in your daily life you can
influence others to make themselves
familiar with the necessary knowl-
edge of the prevention of tubercu-
losis, do so! If through your influ-
ence, your words. and example you
can combat the fearful curse of our
nation-alcoholism-T beseech you, do
your duty.
Some individuals have, by virtue of
heir calling, special duty to per-
form in the combat of tuberculosis.
Of these mention, first, the teachers
II the public schools, the clergymen, |
he editors of the public press. en-
,loyers and philanthropists.

Cement for Mortar; Draining Cellar.
In mixing cement with lime mortar,
add the cement to it and use immedi-
ately as the cement will set if let
stand so long before it is used. To
one bushel Of cement use four bush.
els of lime and one yard of sand. If
cement mortar is used the usual bro.
portions are one part of cement to
two parts of sand.
For cellar drain where +, suitable
outlet is to be had, use tile, covering
the mouth of the drain with a screen
to keep vermin out. Where there is
good fall there will be no difficulty in
keeping the drain open, as the tile
will drain out before freezing up.
