HOUSEWORK Is A HEAVY BURDEN

The woman who, "keeps house" has
enough to do when she is in good, sound
health, but if she is weak, tired all the
time, and suffering from morn to night
with an aching back, house-work becomes
heavy burden.
Many women who were afflicted in this
way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have
made life easier for them.
Women are subject to kidney disease.
The clothing they wear, the work they do,
the worry and strain of bearing and rear
ing children, the lack of proper exercise;
all tend to it.
Backache, bearing-down pains, headache.
dizzy spells, faintness. fits of 'blues," and
other troubles often thought to be peculiar
to the sex, are found frequently in kidney
disease. When any one of these ills ap-
pears, together with h discolored condi.
tion of the kidney secretions. with passages
too frequent, scanty or burning, just make
up your mind that your kidneys are weak,
and be quick to help them.
Doan's Kidney Pills have helped q great
many weak women through the trying
times when kidney disease means so much
added misery. They do not disturb the
stomach or bowels and contain no poison
Gus, dangerous nor habit forming drugs.
Doan's are harmless for children too.

JUST A LITTLE TOO HAsTY
Mr.. NewIywed Resented What He
Considered Impertinence, but the
Joke Was on Him.

They were on their wedding tour.
and imagined that every civility CIV
en- them related to their new condi-
tion of servitude.
Having stopped at way station,
the bridegroom was approached by
the station agent, who asked:
Are you going to take the next
train?"
IT'S none of your business" re-
torted the bridegroom, Indignantly. as
he guided the bride up the platform,
where they condoled with each other
over the impertinence of some of the
natives.
Onward came the train. its vapor
curling from afar. 1t was the last to
their destination that day-an ex'
press. Nearer and nearer 1t came at
full speed; then in moment it whiz
zed past and was gone.
why in thunder didn't that train
stop!" yelled the bridegroom.
"Cos you said 'twarn't none of my
bizness. I has to signal If that trains

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance of
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health Of ev-
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air of lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti-
patton or indigestion. or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective. is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
its effect, strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels so that after
a short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
tions without assistance.
DR.. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
s1O0 bottles. If you have never tried
1t, write for a sample to DR.. w. B.

the assembled multitude clad in mar
tial gear. and casting down a gauntlet
upon the ground, defied to mortal COM
bat any person or persons having
quarrel with or denying the right of
the potentate to reign over the land.
This custom dated back to the siren
uous days when monarch was also
an active man-atarms, and likely to
meet in a hand-to-hand engagement
with some persistent foeman at any
time or place. Hence the institution
of kings champion" appointed to
keep all challengers at bay, heredi-
tary honor, and one that was held for
many generations by the descendants
of the Dymoke family. But Edward
VII, who possessed an unusually
strong sense of the ridiculous, refused
to permit this heroic burlesque of
mediaeval custom to be introduced
into the splendid pageantry at his cor
nation and abolished the office of a
warlike substitute forever.

Nourlshn ent for Invalids.

When the appetite has failed. as in
the case of convalescents and many
weak children, nourishment is of
prime importance. There is capital
way to administer it. which.rarely fails
even iE extreme cases. To the white
of an egg add the Juice of an orange
and the least bit of sugar. Strain the
mixture carefully and set it away un-

Both Wrong.

A ludicrous story is told of an Ed
inburg bailie, whose studies in natu-
raj history seem to have been limit
ed. The following case came before
him one day:
A man who kept ferret having to
go into the country, left the cage with
the ferret in charge of neighbor till
he should return. The neighbor in
cautiously opened the cage door. and
the ferret escaped. The owner was
very angry, and brought a claim
against him for damages.
The following was the decision of
the learned bailie: Nae doot," he
said to the neighbor; mae doot, ye
was wrang to open the cage door;
but, ''he added. turning to the owner.

Commissioner.
There are several people still living
in Stroudsburg who knew Staples and
remember that to him belonged the
unique distinction of representing
Lincoln on the field of battle. Among
their number are ]. T. Palmer, post.
master and principal of the public
school; G. L. Drake. editor of ths
Stroudsburg Times, and Represents
tive A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsyl-
vania. 1t was characteristic of Lin
coin that he kept the matter from the
public press. and like modesty
seems. to have imposed silence on tho
young soldier who served his country
SO well.
One does not have to make a very
exhaustive study of Lincoln's charao-
ter in order to understand the motive
which led him to send a substitute to
represent him in the scenes of the
bloody drama then being enacted
throughout the land. His conscience
was not of that easily satisfied variety
which contents itself with allowing
things to remain as they are. without
indulging in exertion for the common
good. His was the hand which was
steering the Ship of State through
tempest and crash Of hostile guns. yet
great as was the task assigned him.
he perceived with the eagle eye that
watched the course of action. post
still untitled, an unoccupied niche
where a combatant could be placed to
strike in behalf of the Union. To that
post he resolved to appoint a repre-
sentative. that he might be practical
ly in personals he was already in
spirit-on the red field of carnage. 1t
was done quietly, In that simple, unos-
tentatious manner that distinguished
all of Lincoln's acts. whether In off,
cial or private life. He never played
to the gallery. and the verdict of his
own conscience was all he cared
about.
While this is probably the only case
in history where the leader of ma
! tion sent substitute to fill his place
in the ranks of fighting men. a sort of
precedent may be said to be found
in the custom, but recently fallen into
disuse. Of appointing a kings cham
