Quick Cure of Rheumatism by Dodd's
Kidney Pills How They Saved the
Shop of a kansas Blacksmith Cure
Was Permanent, Too.
Goodland, Kan, Feb. 2Oth-(Spe-
cial.)-So quick and complete was the
cure Of n. Z. Albertson, a local black
smith, that it almost seems like a mir
acle. He had Rheumatism 50 bad he
feared he would have to give up his
shop. One box Of Dodd's Kidney Pills
drove away all the pains and they
have never returned. Speaking Of his
cure Mr.. Albertson says:
II had Rheumatism in my shoulders
and arms for years. Part OF the time
1T was SO bad l could not sleep at
night. My arm hurt so that it seemed
l would have to give up my black
smith shop. l went to the drug store
and bought one box Of Dodd's Kidney
Pills and took them. l have not had
the Rheumatism since. A great many
of the neighbOrs are using Dodd's Kid
ney Pills since they saw how they
cured me-"

BABY CAME NEAR DYING

From Awful Skin Humor-
Scratched Till Blood Ran-Wasted to
a Skeleton Cured by Cuti-
cura.
when three months old my boy
broke out with an itching, watery rash
all over his bodg, and he would
scratch till the blood ran. We tried
nearly everything, but he grew worse,
wasting to skeleton, and we feared
he would die. He slept only when in
our arms. The first application Of
Cuticura soothed MIN so that he slept
in his cradle for the first time in many
weeks. You don't know how glad I
was. One set of the Cuticura Rene
dies made a complete and permanent
cure. (Signed) Mrs. N. G.. Maitland.

Thus far the present fiscal year the
expenditures Of the Government eX-
coed the receipts by S24,S14,550. 1t
generally has been conceded that the
escape Of a deficit larger than that
which confrOnts the Government at
the end of the present fiscal year on
June 80 could be accomplished only by
Congress exercising scrupulous econ
Omy. Leaving out of consideration the
river and harbor bill and other meas
ures, which are characterized as pork
bills it is clear that appropriations Of
this session, now in sight, will exceed
those of last session by at least $1O,
100000. That is to say, the apprOpri-
atoms practically agreed on will be
that much in excess of the public
money voted by the last regular ses-
sion. It now appears the river and
harbor bill will carry at least ST., O0O,-
coo. There is a companion pork bill"
in the public building grab, and it
was stated there is to be an omnibus
public building bill carrying about $1O,-
100000. There also is to be an Omni-
bus claims Dill which will carry, per-
haps, S3,0OOGOO more. In sight there
is an excess over last years appropra-
tons of practically $40,0OO,OCO.

An Old Cure for Scuryy.

Scuryy used to be regularly treated
when it was possible by burying the
patients up to their necks in fresh
earth, practice officially recommend
cd in the British navy less than a CEN
fury ago. Twenty of the crew of the
frigate Blonde were so treated on the
shore Of Donna Maria Bay, Santo Do
mingo. Holes were dug in the softest
soil on the beach. Into each of these
a man was put and buried to his chin,
while detachment of their shipmates
was told off TO keep the flies from
their faces. They were kept in this
position for two hours, and the treat
ment was so effective thatsfour days
later all the sufferers were able to re-
join the frigate.

Though the people of Washington
may be fond of their innocent little
superstitons. such things do not go
at the White House. There is no SUI
perstitiOn there. Evidence of this is
found in the fact that under the
Roosevelt regime it has been found
1900 is the number Of copies of the
Presidents addresses and messages
needed for circulation, and hence that
is the size of the order sent to the
government printing Office. The print
ing office people are not free from su-
perstition, and they have implored the
President to make his order 1000 or
400 SO that bad luck may not come
upon the shop. The President has
cruelty declined to cater TO their su-
perstition and the orders stand at
1900. The printing office people get
around the difficulty by invariably
sending up 1,4OO copies.

During the year 1904. $50 charters
for national banks were applied for
and approved by the Comptroller Of
the Currency, But only 1856 banks
were actually organized. This differ
ence is due to the fact that some appli
cations that have been approved have
been subsequently abandoned, and, in
other cases. delay occurred in the COM
pletiOn of the organization and addi-
tional time has been granted. The
practice Of the Comptroller's office is
to approve the organization Of a bank
and to reserve the title for period of
sixty days. and to grant an extension
of time. if toward the expiration Of
that period good and satisfactory rea
sons are given for delay in completing
the organization.

1t is q compound of the neutral spirit
or alcohol, artificially colored and oft
en- favored with artificial essences,
and sometimes mixed with more or
less straight whisky to give it flavor"

temperance document, all the more SO
