kidneys

There was recently published
the formula OF a famous beauty
doctor who became wealthy in
the profession of figure culture.
Many of our famous actresses
and society ladies, it is claimed,
owe to her science the charming
and exquisite proportion of fig
ure which they enjoy.
SO rapid and thorough is the
treatment that one can almost
"see the flesh grow" One young
matron had to prove her identity
to her husband after a months
absence. during which time she
had used the home treatment.
An increase of six inches is not
unusual after a months treat
ment.
Go TO any druggist and get
separately two ounces OF glycer-
inc, three ounces of rosewater.
one ounce tincture cadomene
compound mot cardamom) and
five cents worth Of borax. Mix
the glycerinc and tincture cado-
meme. shake and let stand two
hours. Then add, rosewater and a
teaspoonful OF borax. Apply
morning and night, rubbing until
absorbed; then wash with hot
water and soap; dry thoroughly.
Continue a few weeks and beau

20 Years

OR. Miles Heart Remedy has
cured me of heart disease of
over 20 years standing. l was
so bad that l could not do my
work, and could scarcely draw
a full breath without fainting or
smothering. The doctor told me
he could do no more for me;

Heart Remedy. / shall never

til ! was perfectly well.
MRS. LAURA RUSSELL,
Logan, Iowa.
When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount OF
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness OF
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart REM
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.

accurate information which originated

TAFT was dominated by the methods
OF Roosevelt and therefore was not
safe for the intercsts-that he was a
Moon candidate.
It IL not hard to imagine the reason.
There are certain interests in this

The kidnapping Of Willie whitla, the
Sharon pa boy, caused q sensation
nation wide.
Especially were the people and the
authorities Of Pennsylvania and Ohio
aroused. The former state offered q
reward of $4,000 for the capture of
the kidnapers. 1t sent out troops Of
mounted police. Police and detective de-
partments in many cities were active.
The activity brought results.
The guilty parties were caught al
most as soon as they got hold Of the
ransom money and will perhaps 60 to
prison for life.
he told how the kidnapers had in
structed him. should any bad men,
come to end him, to hide under the
sink.
Well .+.-z
The city Of Scranton, Pa. is not far
from Sharon, Pa. the home Of Willie
Whitla's parents, and correspondent
brings these facts to our attention:
Recently the silk workers Of Scran-
ton held meeting. Among the things
recited by some of the speakers was
this statement:
whenever a factory inspector comes
to our mill the foreman puts the little
boys and girls in the bobbin boxes and
tells them to be quiet until he goes
away"
Note the parallel.
The sharon kidnapers hide their boy
under sink.
The Scranton violators Of the child
labor law hide their boys and girls in
the bobbin boxes.
Sinks or bobbin boxes-where Il the
difference.
Willie Whitla complained most OF all
because he could not have fresh air
and sunshine and his playmates.
The boys and girls unlawfully i'm
prisoned in the Scranton mills are de-
MED these, and more. They are en-
ployed in stu6y. insanitary rooms.
And hands and feet and backs and
brains are on constant strain to tend
the bobbins.
All contrary to Law.
But Pennsylvania sends out no
mounted police and Offers NO rewards
for the arrest of these law violatOrs.
The Whitla kidnapers took only one
hoy: the child labor criminals take
thousands Of boys and girls In Sharon
and elsewhere and rob them not only OF
air and sunshine. hut Of their childhood
