ADVICE TO VICTIMS.
TELLS READERS HOW TO CURE
RHEUMATISM AT HOME.
Directions to Mix a Simple, Harm
less Preparation and the Dose to
Take-Oyercomes Kidney and
Bladder Trouble Promptly.

There is so much Rheumatism every
where that the following advice by an
eminent authority, who writes for read
ers of large Eastern daily paper. will
be highly appreciated by those who
snffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound kargon. three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla. Shake these well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime; also drink plenty
of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few vic
tins of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple homemade mixture, and
in most cases a permanent cure Is the
result
This simple recipe is said to strength
en- and cleanse the eliminative tissues
Of the Kidneys so that they can filter
and strain from the blood and system
the poisonS, acids and waste matter,
which cause not only Rheumatism, but
numerous other diseases Every man
or woman here who feels that their
kidneys are not healthy and active, or
who suffers from any urinary trouble
whatever, should not hesitate to make
up this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good, and may save you frOm
much misery and suffering after a

Slightly. Mixed.

An Australian travelling in Japan fell
into a mixed company in which was an
English girl and an American woman.
He made himself agreeable to the Amer
lean at the start, she relates in her ac-
count Of "A Woman Alone in the Heart
of Japan" by remembering that Amer
leans are accustomed to ride over Nj
agara Falls in tubs. Then he switched
to the War of the Revolution.
The whole thing was" he said, that
the colonies refused TO send England
troops to aid her in a foreign war, so
the motherland resolved to subdue her
naughty children"
Il guess you have confused 1t with
the war IN Africa" said the American.
THE Boer War has been 80 long-drawn-
out, you thought It was the same as
the American Revolution"
The little English girl saw there was
a misunderstanding somewhere.
There was something about stamps
in it" she suggested, WEAKLY, that
caused some OF the trouble"
Something about stamps cause
revolution?" demanded the Australian.
DO you mean a stampede? Or mere
ly postag&stamps? Did the rage for
collecting exist In those days?"
But no one enlightened him on this,
and he was left TO assert history to
suit himself

(The End.)

When I'm Doubt, Study Stenogrnphy.
when in doubt, study StenOgraphy,'
has been the motto of the would-be
business girl for the past ten years"
says Anna Steese Richardson in the
Woman's Home Companion, with the
result that thousands of young women,
never intended by education, training or
natural ability to become stenograpn-
ers, have reduced Office wages and over
crowded business marts, while hundreds
of their sisters, who would develop into
admirable office workers, have drawn
back, alarmed by the ever-increasing
army of incompetents.
There is room in the business world
for the competent. earnest stenograph-
err, and opportunities for advancement
were never better nor more numerous
than to-day. There is no reason at all
for the existence of the incompetent
worker. She will find thousands there
before her.
please bear in mind that stenogra-
ply is a trade, and you must work at 1t
months and even years, before you be-
come an expert and draw the same sal
airy an expert milliner or filter does.
There is no royal road to success in
stenography simply because your par
ents can afford to pay for your lessons.
Many of my correspondents seem to
think that they can skim through a
business course just as they skinned
through school, without carrying away
any thoroughly grounded information.
My dear girls, some of you have fooled
all your teachers all the years you
went to school, but you cannot fool the
man who pays your salary. The teach
er was paid to do the best she could
by you as a scholar, but your employer
will pay you to give the best possible
results for his business, and if you do
not give them, he will find some one
who can"

But CuticUra Cures Them.
My wife had eczema for five or six
years. 1t was on her face and would
come and 20. We thought we would
give the Cuticura Remedies a trial. We
did so, and she has never had a sign of
eczema for four years. l myself used
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
some time ago for falling hair. l now
have a very heavy head of hair. We
used Cuticura Remedies for our baby,
who was nearly bald when young. She
has very nice hair now. She is very
tieshy, and we had so much trouble
with heot that we would battle her
with Cuticura Soap and then apply
Cuticura Ointment, it would dry the
heat up so much quicker than any
thing else. Mr.. II. B. Springmire, 323

HER BEST FRIEND"

A Woman Thus Speaks of Postum.
We usually consider our best friends
those who treat us best.
Some persons think coffee a real
friend, but watch it carefully awhile
and observe that it is one of the mean
est of all enemies for it stabs one while
processing friendship.
Coffee contains a poisonous drug
caffeine-which Injuries the delicate
nervous system and frequently sets up
disease in one or more organs of the
body, if its use is persisted in.
Il had heart palpitation and ner-
vousness for four years and the doc
tor told me the trouble was caused by
coffee. He advised me to leave it off,
but 1 thought l could not" writes a
Wis. lady.
ION the advice of a friend l tried
Postum Food Coffee and it so satisfied
me | did not care for coffee after a few
days trial of Postum.
AS weeks went by and I continued
to use Postum my weight increased
from 9S to 11S pounds, and the heart
trouble left nae. l have used it a year
now and am stronger than l ever was
I can hustle upstairs without any heart
palpitadon, and l am cured of nervous
ness
My children are very fond of Post
um and it agrees with them. Ny sis
ter liked it when she drank it at my
house, but not when she made it at her
own home Now she has learned to
make it right, boil it according to di-
rections, and has become very fond of
it. You may use my name if you wish
as l am not ashamed of praising my
best friend-Postum.

No Hurry,

The American traveller who endeav-
Ors to hasten the comfortably gated
Orient against its wish soon comes to a
halt. That was the experience of a
Woman Alone in the Heart of Japan.
Make the rikman hurry. l have a
date, ard can't wait here all day." she
said to the boss rikman' at the sta
tion. He bIazed like a fiery dragon.
We'll, you get so mad, YOU no can
wait for dis, YOU go find 'nodder rik-
sha,' he said
She answered very meekly:
Dear friend, you do not know me.
! am not the least bit mad. This is
only gentle American hustle. If you
want me to be real mad, l will show
you the difference"
''Vell, you vas almos' mad" he insist

BARRIERS Hnir Cut.

wished | had time TO go ont and get
my hair cut remarked a barber as he
removed part of the lather from the
customers lips with his second finger.
Time to go out and get it cut?' re-
peated the man in the chair, with the
emphasis on out" Are you like the
man that won't eat in his own restau-
rant? Aren't you willing TO trust one
of your own men to cut your hair?'
''Oh, I'd trust them, all right" said
the barber. 1T isn't that, but you
hardly ever see a barber getting his
hair cut in his own place. The other
BARRIERS all like to go home promptly at
quitting time, and if one Of us gets
work done during the day there is sure
to be a rush about that time. and it
makes a customer sore if he has to
wait with two BARRIERS right here and
not waiting on him. He doesn't like to
wait around while one barber cuts an
other BARRIERS hair. Cleveland Plain

gold pieces called plaques-was pushed
to him by the roupier l heard young
lady whisper in his ear:
LIT is very odd, monsieur, to wear
