Mr.. NewIywed Resented What He Con-
sldered lmpertinence, but the
Joke Was on Him.

They were on their wedding tour,
and imagined that every civilty given
them related to their new condition OF
servitude.
Having stopped at a way station,
the bridegroom was approached by the
station agent, who asked:
Are you going to take the next
train?"
ITS 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 express.
Nearer and nearer it came at full
speed; then in moment it whizzed
past and was gone.
why in thunder didn't that train
stop!" yelled the bridegroom.
Cos you said 'twant none of my
bizness. l has to signal if that train

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, homework becomes
a 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 APP
pears, together with discolored condi-
ton 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 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.

Fat Victim Of Cupid BashfuIIy Ac-

Act of Heroism.

The smallest boy had broken
through the ice and the fat boy was
crawling to his rescue.
Come back, Fatty" the other boys
shrieked You'll bust it all in, an
den yousell both be drowned"
But the fat boy, fiat on his stom-
ach and spread out to his widest ex-
tent, ignored these warning cries and
steadily crept toward the black hole
and Tommy's clinging fingers
Once the ice made cracking sound
and the watchers yelled with dismay.
But the fat boy did not halt Nearer
and nearer he came, and finally his
outstretched hands caught those cling
ing fingers and drew the small boy, lit
tie by little, onto the firmer ice and
so to safety.
What did youse do~it fer, Fatty?"
one of the boys tearfully remonstrat-
ed.
"Aw replied the hero, 81 knew

Both Wronq.

A ludicrous story is told on an Ed
inburgh 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 a ferret having to
go into the country, left the cage with
the ferret in charge of a 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. 3
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,
I'VE was wrang, too. What for did ye
no clip the brute's wings?"

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. Caldwelps 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.
DR.. Caldwells 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-
lions without assistance.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Fepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
$1O0 bottles. If you have never tried
it, write for sample to DR.. w. B.
Caldwell POI Washington St, Month
cello, ILL.,; he will gladly send a trial
bottle without any expense to you
whatever.

my back was covered with mass Of

This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mass
of big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
clot of blood.
Il tried various remedies and salves
for nearly three years and l was not
getting any benefit. 1t seemed l was
in eternal misery and could not sleep

died before l was born"
But you had grandparents, just the
same, DEAR" interpolated a listening
adult. "The fact that they died before
you was born doesn't alter the fact
that they were your grandparents"
But If our father and mothers had
died before we were born they
wouldn't have been our fathers and

child questioned. 80 l don't see how
