"Some four years ago had the mis- fortune to have my feet get sore. The doctors could not tell me what 1t was. I used everything I could hear or think of out all to no avail. The feet were all cracked across the bottom as if you had taken a knife and cut them every whichway. They would peel up, and. oh. myl how they did hurt when l would try to walk - which l was not able to do for long time. One day one of our neighbors came to our house and asked what was the matter. showed him my feet and he said he had some Cuticura Ointment which would heal them up. There was only enough to apply once. but 1 found it helped me so much that sent for a set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. costing one dollar. and to my great joy, my feet were cured and have never troubled me since. shall praise Cuticura as long as l live for the great help it has been.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceaslng Work Keeps Us
 Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every thre minutes. The kidneys filter the blood They work nigt and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when un' healthy some part of this impure mat ter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms pain In the back, headache, nervous ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout' gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.
 w. A. Hawkins, 669 Yesler Way Seattle, Wash, says: Tt gives me pleasure to confirm the statement gave for publication some years ago in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as the relief l obtained from thelr use has proven permanent. I suffered from an acute attack of kidney trou- tIe and though used remedy after remedy, l was unable to find relief, had the most severe pains across the small of my back and was also annoyed by irregular passages of the kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney Fills helped me at once and continue use entirely relieved me. I am a great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills and have recommended them on many occasions"

NO THEY DoH'T-oo THEY?

4 prominent woman in the east recently said that every girl who had arrived at the age of eighteen, de- tested men. We have forgotten her name and have destroyed the paper with the account of the affair in it. so some of our eighteen year old friends won't get hold of 1t and be- Heye all they read in thenewspapers. In the first place it has been so long since this old guinea was eighteen she has forgotten what heart throos feel like, and confounds her valvular rheumatism with love and then ar yues that she doesn't like it. A lit tie more observation on her part and B little less abstract reasoning might convince this ancient ice berg that neither eighteen year old girls, nor any other year old girls, detest men. Of course some two.minute ice cream freezer with lump of liquid air where her heart ought to be, might detest men, but not an eighteen year old maiden. We know better.

they secured some bears, but not until
after they had killed some OF their
dogs. to the east side Of Graham Is

marked "Eid's Fiord" on Sverdrup's
chart; then southwest to HelPs Gate
and Simmons Peninsula.
Here for the first time during the

off Cape Thomas 81. Hubbard, they

sledge off, tnat Is shortened 1t, as 1t was

The statement in regard to the fresh

statement also serves, II indeed any
thing more than the inherent straight
forwardness and detail Of their narra-

accuracy and truthfulness Of the boys
statement. This locality Of Cape Vera
is mentioned In Sverdrup's narrative
as the place where during his stay IN
that region he obtained elder ducks
eggs.)
From Cape Vera they went on down
into the southwest angle OF Jones
Sound. where they killed a seal; thence
east along the south coast OF the
Sound, killing three bears at the point
noted on the map, to the peninsula
known as Cape Sparbo on the map,
about midway on the south side OF
Jones Sound. Here they killed some
musk-oxen and, continuing east, killed
four more at the place indicated on
the chart. and were finally stopped by
the pack ice at the mouth Of Jones
Sound. From here they turned back
to Cape Sparbo, where they wintered
and killed many musk-oxen.

A FAMOUS BANKNoTE.
The One That Cruikshank Drew and
the Crowds IL Drew.

The One That Cruikshank Drew and
tho Crowds II Drew.
One day about the year 1918 George
Cruikshank was passing Newgate on
his way to the exchange when, seeing
a crowd collected, he went forward to
learn what was the matter and saw
that it was the execution Of several
men and women. He was Mortified at
the spectacle and on inquiring learn
ed that the woman was being hanged
for passing counterfeit one pound
notes. He learned also that this pun
ishment was quite common thing,
even though the poor wretches often
sinned in ignorance, being the dupes
of men who sert them to buy some
trifles and return the change to them.
Wrung with pity and with shame,
Cruikshank went home and immedi-
ately, under the inspiration OF his
feeling. sketched a grotesque carica-
ture of a banknote. He called 1t
bank restriction note-not to be imi-
tated. He represented on 1t place
of execution, with spaces about filled
in with halters and manacles, a fs-
ure of Britannia devouring her
children and transport ships bearing
the lucky or unlucky ones who had
escaped death to Van Dieman's Land
or Australia, while in place Of the
we'll known signature Of Abraham
Newland was that of u. Ketch."
He had just finished this when his
publisher, Hone, entered and, seeing
1t, begged to have 1t for publication.
So Cruikshank etched 1t for sale In his
window with startling effect. Crowds
quickly began to gather and purchas-
ed so eagerly that the issue was soon
exhausted.
Cruikshank was kept hard at work
making more etchings. The crowds
grew so great that the street was
blocked, and the mayor had to send
soldiers to clear 1t. Hone realized
over f7OO in few days.-London

in EXTREME HOT WEATHER
Fish, Birds and Animals All Suffer
By Heat Just as Men Do.
NO. S3.


BY Heat Just AZ Men Do.
Humans" said nature lover,
"are by no means the only sufferers
from intense summer heat; there are
plenty of lower creatures that suffer.
Fish, for instance, are oppressed
by the heat, just as men are, and II
they can't find shelter from 1t they
may be killed by 1t. In shallow fresh
water ponds fish sometimes die by the
hundreds. killed by the excessive heat
Of the water, warmed beyond their
endurance by the beating sun.
In streams fish seek the shady
stretches and the deep places and the
spring holes, where they can keep
cool, and in salt water fish go away
from the shallow overheated water
close to shore and seek the cooler
depths.
Birds suffer In the same way, OPP
pressed by extreme heat, and how
they do welcome a chance to get cool!
Look at the sparrows in the city's
streets when the sprinkling cart goes
by, leaving in the hollows Of the pave
ment little pools Of water that will
serve them as bathing places. How
eagerly the sparrow seeks this bath,
and it will bathe, II 1t gets the chance,
a dozen times a day.
1T is just the same with domestic
fowls. Extreme not weather distresses
them greatly; at such time you can
see chickens with their beaks open
and fairly painting with the heat, and
then they want plenty Of water.
Cows? OF course. On the very
hot days they seek the trees, If there
are any in the pasture lot, to stand In
the shade of them, and then If they
are bothered by flies the cows seek
shaded pools or brooks to stand In
them in water up to their bellies or
deeper to escape the flies and for cool
ing refreshment. How horses and
dogs suffer with intense heat every
body knows."-New York Sun.

strange faces bending over him.

are you? Oh, good Lord! my leg!"
What ails it?" said the man.
"Will you have the goodness to see?'
groaned Mr.. Trent.
The other proceeded to examine into
the condition Of the offending limb and
found it badly bruised and dislocated.
The professional skill Of his touch ar
rested Mr.. Trent's attention.
"Ha!" said he; you are a surgeon,
then?"
yes"
Curse that boy! Will you have the
goodness to pack him and his team
back to the stable-it's plain I can't
go on tonight"
Certainly" said the other. you
will be obliged to remain here till you
can use your limb. Don't let that dis
tress you. We have plenty Of room In
the cottage"
"a thousand thanks" answered Mr..
Trent, dismally. What deuced
streak of luck! Are you sure I shall
not inconvenience you?"
"Oh, very sure!" answered the lady
in black; don't speak of it," and the
two proceeded to bind his wounds and
minister unto him like good Samari-
tans.
Pardon me-" said the doctor; "the
stable-boy told me you were stranger,
but did not mention your name"
1T is Trent" said the lawyer, "and
yours?"
"Is Gower-Philip Cover, and this
lady is my wife"
Mr.. Trent did not for several mo-
ments speak again. His eyes wander
ed about the room, dwelling last and
longest upon his host and hostess. In
their quiet faces, or in the place, he
must have found something irresistible,
for at the first opportunity he turned
his back to the light and laughed a
singular laugh which shook him from
head to foot, and yet was without a
sound.

that he might have to change his
views on that question also. 1t cer-
tainly seems to raise some complex
legal questions hat car only be
settled by the decision of the supreme

of Senator Aldrfch's plan. This ques-
ton of control of trusts and cOmbina-

question before the country for this
quarter of century, relatively much
more important than the tariff. This
