Retention Was Costly.

Mrs. Augustus Heaton, of Washing
ton, some time ago changed from the
Episcopalean to the Roman Catholic
church and by way of celebrating
the event decided to give a reception
in honor of the bishop of her diocese.
She decided, however, that her already
famous drawing-room was not suffi-
GENTLY respondent to serve as place
of reception for the bishop who was to
come and congratulate her. There
was yet time in which to make the
room more attractive and Nine. Hea-
ton, with true artistic taste, had
everything taken out of the room ex-
cept the old furniture and a few art
objects. The walls before had been
covered with tapestry, but that was
not enough for a reception for the
bishop. After much thought she
finally decided on drab silk wall COW
ering. What with this and other ex-
tensive changes in the room without
the purchase of furniture Mrs. Hea-
ton got rid of $4,000.

In ali the cases filed Wednesday 1t
is recited that the custom of accept,
ing $50 month from the joints and
keepers of sreputa Bile houses has
been the common practice of the
mayors and officers of the two towns
for at least five years. 1t is shown
that each of the towns has an ordi-
nance which prohibits the sale of in
toxica' ing liquors, excep; for medi
cal. scientific or mechan cal purpos-

penalties for violations. The petitions
set forth that these ord ;nances are

weak, with frequent attacks of palpi-

Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas

than from anything 1 had eaten for
months, and on further investigation
and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my
morning and evening meals, served
usually with cream and a sprinkle of
salt or sugar.

Marvellous Cure by Cuticura.

"My son, who is now twenty-five
years of age, when he was four
months old began to have eczema on
his face, spreading quite rapidly until
he was nearly covered. We had all
the doctors around us, and some from
larger places, but no one helped him
a particle. The eczema was something
terrible, and the doctors said it was
the worst case they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were
covered, all but his feet. 1 had to
bandage his limbs and arms; his
scalp was just dreadful. A friend
leased me to try Cuticura, and 1 be-
gan to use all three of the Cuticura

months; and in six months he was
well. Mrs. R. L. Risley, Piermont,

human body must adjust itself to this

The perspiration incident to warm
weather has been checked. This de-
tains within the system poisonous
materials which have heretofore found
escape through the perspiration.
Most of the poisonous materials re-
tanned in the system by the checked
perspiration find their way out of the
body, if at all, through the kidneys.
This throws upon the kidneys extra
labor. They become charged and over
loaded with the poisonous excretory

flame the kidneys, producing function

times Bright's Disease.
