Alsskn Women Cau Find RslieFFOE
 Their Burdens

It does seem that women have more than fair share of the aches and pains that sfflict humanity. They must keep up," must attend to duties in spite Of constantly aching backs, or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing down pains; they must stOop over, when to stoop means torture. They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches for kidney ills. Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ in the bcdy. Keep the kidneys well and health is easily maintained. Read Of a remedy for kidneys only that helps and cures the kidney. ,
 Mrs. John Meerdink, residence SIP North Fourth Street, North Yakima, Wash, says: "I can cheerlullY testify to the honesty and worth of DOan's Kidney Pill, and have already done so to a number of my friends and ac- ouaiutance> There is no humbug about them. 1 suffered from the kidney com plaiut for years, indicated by aching and distress through the loins and ire uuent attacks. Of headache, dizziness and an annoying condition of the kid uey secretions. At times ! was worse them others, especially if I caught cold, when I suffered severely from backach. I have been laid up on more than one occasion for weeks at time on account of it, and could not get out of bed with out assistance. was suffering acutely some three months ago when read about Doan's Kidney Pills, and had my husband call at 8 drug store for a box, yet the result was decidedly beneficial and the improvement marked from the first. I followed up the treatment until used five boxes, when felt like different person altogether. have used lots of medicines but never tried one that come up to Doan's Kidney Pills. l cheerfully recomment them, and you are at liberty to refer anyone me.

WORST ECZEMA DOCTORS EVER SAW
Spread Rapidly Over BOdy-Limbs and Arms Had to Be Bandaged and Scalp Looked Dreadful - Suffered Untold Misery for Three Years-Better in Two Months
MARVELLOUS CURE BY
 CUTICURA REMEDIES

"NTv son, who is now twenty-two wears 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 particle. The eczema was something terrible, and the doctors said it was the worst rlsa they ever saw. At times his whole body and face were covered, all but hlS feet. l had to bandage his limbs and arms: his scalp was just dreadful: l used many kinds of patent medicines before trying the Cuticura Remedies, all tO no avail.
 "A A friend leased me to try Cuticura. At last l consented, when my boy was three wears and four months old. having had eczema all that time, and suffering untold misery. l began to use all three of the Cuticura Remedies; the Cuticura Soap helped as well as the Ointment. He was better ln two months; in six months he was we'll; but l gave him the CutiCura ResOlvent one year, - using twelve bottles, l think, - and always used the Cutlcura Soap for bathing, and do now good deal. He was four years old before he was well, and his skin became per fectlv fair when cured. l give you per mission to publish this letter for l am always glad to do good when l can. l think I have told you all there Is neces- sarv to tell" Mrs. R.

AFTER THE GYPSY MOTH
PARASITES FOR USE IN ExTER-
MINATIoN IN GOOD CONDITION.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BOSTON, Mass. March 19.-The Saugus
parasites. which have been imported from
Europe in some 100. 600 broWn-tail moth
nests, have been wintering in Massachu
setts, are reported to be thriving and ready
for combat with the brown tails and the
gypsy moths of New England by DR.. l.. o.
Howard. chief of the bureau of entomology
of the Department Of Agriculture, and Prof.
E. G. S. Titus, both of whom came over
from Washington to look into the present
condition al the Saugus laboratory.
One of the cases of nests was opened,
and in this, which came from the HartZ
mountains, the nests We're found thorough
ly parasitized numbers of primary pari
sites being found on the tiny caterpillars
in the nest.
DR.. Howard will soon sail to Europe,
where he Will again make arrangements
for shipments of nests and parasites to
prey upon the moth scourges of the state.
He expresses great satisfaction with the
condition and progress at Saugus, and feels
sure that the parasites will do a great deal
toward making the brown-tai and gypsy
moth ravages less terrible.

FIRE IN ''PENNsY" TUNNEL.
Big Tube Under East River Filled
With Smoke

NEW YORK, March 19.-Fire among sew
eral hundred bags of hay and sawdust far
down In the Pennsylvania railroad tunnel
under the East river today filled section
of the tube with suffocating smoke. and 1t
was reported that one or two men had been
overcome and lost their lives.
Firemen were unable to combat the
flames as 1T was found impossible to carry
hose to the scene of the fire without shut
ting off the compressed-air pressure at the
air locks
After several of the occupants of the tun-
mel had reached the surface one of them
membered that several boxes of dynamite
had been left in it. There was sufficient OF
the explosive to have destroyed the work
of months not only in that tube, but In
others adjoining it. which are to carry sew
eral railroad tracks under the river.
George Barr, one of the tunnel companys s
employees, volunteered to bring out the
dynamite and did so, but became uncon-
scous after reaching the surface The fire
was extinguished after having burned about
five hours.
The superintendent in charge of the con-
struction work said that one death had
been caused by the fire. The victim was
negro watchman. who had been on duty
alone at the time the fire started. The fire
started just after the night shift had left
the tunnel and before the day crew had
gone down the shaft.
