That our g~randmothers took so

pass by other Injuries that they might
indulge in linen for their bed drap-

were often hand spun.

RHEUMATISM STAYS CURED
Mrs. Gotta, Confined to Bed and in
Constant Pain, Cured by DR..
wuIiams' Pink Pills.

Rheumatism can be inherited and that
fact proves it to be a disease of the blood.
It is necessary, therefore, to treat it
through the blood if a permanent cure
is expected. External applications may
give temporary relief from pain but as
long as the poisonous acid is III the blood
the pain will return, perhaps i'll a new
place, but it will surely return. DR.. Will
lialms' Pink Pills cure rheumatism be-
cause they go directly to the seat Of the
disorder, purifying and enriching the
blood.
Mrs. Henry Gotta, Of West Cheshire,
Conn, is the wife Of the village ma
chinist. "Several years ago." she says,
II was laid up with rheumatism in my
feet, ankles and knees. I was in con-
slant pain and sometimes the affected
parts would swell SO badly that I could
not get about at all to attend to my
household duties. There was one period
Of three weeks during which I was CON
fined to the bed. My sufferings were
awful and the doctors medicine did not
help me.
Zone day a neighbor told me about
DR.. Williams Pink Pills and / decided to
try them. After I had taken them a
| short time I was decidedly better and a
few more boxes cured me. What is
| better, the cure was permanent" &
Remember DR.. Williams Pink Pills do
not act OH the bowels. They make new
blood and restore shattered nerves. They
tone up the stomach and restore impaired
digestion, bring healthful, refreshing
sleep, give strength to the weakand make
miserable, complaining people strong,
hungry and energetic. They are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt of price, so cents per box, s1
boxes $3.50, by the DR.. Williams Medi'
cine Co., Schenectady, NY.

Cactus as a Timepiece.

Mexico has a cactus which grows
toothpicks, another, ribbed and thick
ly set with teethlike spines, which
furnishes the natives with combs;
there is another cactus, the long,
curved spines of which resemble fish.

almost perfect imitation of the sea
urchin; still another resembling a
p%orcupine; there is another covered
with long, red hair, which is nick
named the red-headed cactus.
There are several varieties which
serve as timepieces. One of these,
the Cereus nycticalus, opens its bios

This is all that Flynn knew when he

nice little speech, which he had no
chance to deliver.

HE TRIES BIT OF STRATEGY.

When Policeman Barney Flynn ap-
preached the door of the modest lit
tie house he knew that he had n of
the hardest jobs of his life before him.
The captain wished to see Mrs. Miller.
His reasons for this desire were not
known to Policeman Flynn, and equal
ly unknown were his reasons for not
going Il person to her house instead
of sending for her. Many are the
strange things that happen in a police
station, and many are the strange mo-
tives that lie behind the strange ac-
lions. 1t might be a matter OF pride
in this instance or it might be a mat
ter of Judgment. There is sometimes
an advantage not to be despised in be-
ing able to select the place for an in
terview; the surroundings count for
much, and the n unfamiliar with
them is handicapped. So the captain,
presumably desiring to get certain
information supposed to be in the pos
session of this woman, had sent for
her-and she had refused to come.
This In itself was surprising, for 1t is
not customary to send regrets under
such circumstances. For a moment
the captain seemed on the point OF
going to the house himself, but he
thought better of it, and sent a more
imperative message. The reply was
the same as before: She had done
nothing that put her at the beck ant
call of the police, she didn't care tt
see the captain, and she would no
come. Then he had sent for Flynn.

want to see her here" he said. "Nevel
mind why. I have a few things hert
that l think will make the interview
more effective here than it would b.
there. If she knows what | think sht
knows I intend to get it out Of her
but-well, all you've got to do is tt
get her to come with you"
"M-m-m, now, is that all?" asked
Policeman Flynn, who had heard o
the fruitless efforts of two others il
that direction.
That's all" said the captain.
"She ray-fuses to come, an all
ha-ave FIR to do is to make he
cha-ange her mind?"

They were then stamped with a two

The house was gayly decorated with
Japanese lanterns, which were hung
on stout cords forming a canopy most

a few lace paper parasols, fans, screens
and candles with oriental shades.

sewing on little outing flannel gowns,

How much the election Of a Repub
lican majority of congress cost the
tariff-protected trusts is a matter Of
conjecture at present, but when the
evidence comes out, as 1t probably
will, it will astonish the voters by see.
ing how many of their representatives

for President Roosevelt to order the

That is the question. He has the pow

The Human System

change from warm to cold, when cool
nights succeed hot nights, when clear,
cold days follow hot, sultry days, the
human body must adjust itself to this
changed condition or perish.
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
p~erspiration 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 e~xcretory
materials. This has a tendency to in
flame the kidneys, producing function
al diseases of the kidneys and some
times Bright's Disease.
Peruna acts upon the skin by stimu-
lating the emunctory glands and ducts,
thus preventing the detention of pois-
onous materials which should pass
out. Peruna ~invigorates the kidneys
and encourages them to fulfill their
function in spite of the chills and dis.
couragements of cold weather.

Laundry work at home would be
much satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
err strength thar other makes.
