HER FRIENDS WONDER
A JOB FOR TWO.
How Mrs. Kessler Was Rescued from
Almost Certain Death.
Few have lived through such trials
and suffering from kidney disease as
were endured by
Mrs. Caroline Kess-
ler of W. Main St.,
Paw Paw, Mich. Well
and strong again,
her case is thought
a miracle by her
friends. What Mrs.
Kessler went
through makes a
long story — back-
ache, rheumatism, dizzy and fainting
spells, urinary disorders, dreadful
bloating of dropsy and finally a com-
plete prostration that defied medical
skill and caused her to be given up.
Through the use of Doan’s Kidney
Pills Mrs. Kessler is a well woman
and is willing to tell about her case
to anyone who cares to inquire.

NATURE STUDIES.
The Phunnibeak Bird—Hello, who
are you?
The Other Bird—Don’t you know
me? Why, Pm “The harp that once
through Tara's Halls.”
The Phunnibeak Bird (shortly)—Oh,
tut; tut! You’re a lyre! That’s what
you are.
Force of Habit.
In spite of the impediment in his
speech the fervent lover had nerved
himself up to the point of a proposal.
“Mum-Mum-Maud,” he began, “I
mum-mum-may call you Mum-Mum-
Maud, may I nun-nun-not?”
“Why, yes, if you wish to, Mr. Chat-
terton—Harry.”
“That’s rah-rah-right. Call me Ha-
Ha-Harry.”
“Ha-taa-Harry!”
“Thank you, Mum-Mum-Maud, there
is sus-sus-something very nun-nun-
near my heart that concerns yuh-yuh-
you. Can you gug-gug-guesa what
it is?”
“Why, no, Harry.”
“Then I’ll tut-tut-tell you. My dud-
dud-darling. I lul-lul-love you. Wuh-
wuh-will you bub-bub-bub-bub-be my
wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh-wife?” ,
“Oh, Harry! This is so sudden!”
Alcohol and Tuberculosis.
The most prominent tuberculosis
specialists In the country agree that
alcohol will not cure consumption. Dr.
S. A. Knopf says: “Alcohol has never
cured and never will cure tuberculosis.
It win either prevent or Yetard recov-
ery.” Dr. Frank Billings of Chicago
and Dr. Vincent Y. Bowditch, ex-presi-
dents of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis; Dr. Lawrence F. Flick of Phila-
delphia and Dr. Edward L. Trudeau of
Saranac Lake, the founder of the anti-
tuberculosis movement in this country,
are all of the same opinion.
Lazy Men Power Generators.
Learned Justice Betts of Kingston,
N. Y., says: “Lazy men have a right
.to live.” Our lazy men are our most
potent. History shows that as a rule,
with a rule’s exceptions, our greatest
men had either indolent or shiftless
fathers, as fathers of Shakespeare,
Lincoln, Napoleon, Bismarck and other
worthies Indicate. On the other hand,
great men’s children are few and
far between. Power In a lazy man is
accumulating, as in a colled spring,
but -the great man has little or nothing
left for offspring.—New York Times.
AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experiences.
A. woman who has used Postum
tines it came upon the market knows
from experience the wisdom of us-
ing Postum in place of coffee if one
values health and a clear brain. She
•ays:
“At the time Postum was first put
on the market I was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia, and my physician
had repeatedly told me not to use
tea or coffee. Finally I decided to
take his advice and try Postum. 1
got a package and had it carefully
prepared, finding it deiiciouB to the
taste. So 1 continued its use and very
soon its beneficial effects convinced
me of its value, for I got well of my
nervousness and dyspepsia.
“My husband had been drinking cof-
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly, and 1 persuaded
him to shift to Postum. It was easy
to get him to make the change for
the Postum is so delicious. It cer-
tainly worked wonders for him.
“We soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate nor depress and does
not stimulate, but steadily and honest-
ly strengthens the nerves and the
stomach.
“To make a long story short, our en-
tire family continued to use Postum
with satisfying results, as shown in
our fine condition of health and we
have noticed a rather unexpected im-
provement in brain and nerve power."
Increased brain and nerve power
always follow the use of Postum in
place of coffee, sometimes in a very
marked manner. “There’s a Reason.”
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book, “The Road to Wellville.”
I Brer read the above letter? A aew
I aae appears from time to time. Titer
I are gen nine, tree, and toll of ha man
“What you fellers got in that box?”
“It's all right, officer. We’re takin’
home Mamie Casey’s hat wot she wore
at de lawn party last night!”
An Anatomical Wonder.
Senator Beveridge was criticising
the ludicrous speeches of a certain up-
right but hpt-headed congressman.
“He does make queer blunders,
doesn't he?” said Senator Beveridge.
“Have you heard about his latest?
“Well, it seems that a constituent,
visiting him recently, complained of
the shabbiness of a pair of ink-
stained crash trousers that he had on.
-“ ‘A man of your position,’ said the
constituent, reproachfully, ‘ought to
wear handsomer trousers than those.’
“The congressman, offended, an-
swered reproachfully:
“ ‘My trousers may be shabby, but
they cover a warm and honest heart.’
Laundry work at l^ome would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually, neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear-
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great-
er strength thah other makes.
No Romance About It.
The stricken man constantly moaned
the name of the young woman who
had jilted him.
“Tell her,” he said to the medical
man, “that her cruelty killed me. Tell
her I am dying from a broken heart.”
The medical man shook his head.
“Aw, go on,” he said. “That would
be shamelessly unprofessionaL Your
heart’s all right It's your liver that’s
the trouble.”

edge comes by eyes always open and

edge that is not power.—Emerson.
Save the Babies*
¥ NFANT MORTALITY is .something frightful. We can hardly realize that of
£ all the children bom in’civilized countries, twentytwo per cent, or nearly
one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent, or more
than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen!
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save ama-i
jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these
infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations.1 Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, or
morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria
operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of
Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the
pores of the skin and allays fever;

Dr. A. F. Peeler, of St Louis, Mo., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria
In many cases and bare always found it an efficient and speedy remedy.**
Dr. E. Down, of Philadelphia, Pa, says: “I have prescribed your Cas-
toria in my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and'
benefit to my patients.” >
Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. Y, says: “I have used your Caa*
toria in my own household with good results, and have advised several
patients to use it for its mild lixative-effect and freedom from harm.”
Dr. J. B. Eliott, of New York City, says: “Having during the past stk
years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most
heartily commend its use.

Dr. C. G. Spracue, of Omaha, Neb, says: “Your dustoria* is an ideal,
medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it While 1 do not advo-
cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is ait
exception for conditions which arise in the j$re of children.”
Dr. J. A- Parker, cf Kansas City, Mo, says: “Your Castoria holds the
esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprie-
tary preparation. It Is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and chil-
dren. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailmen{a.”
Dr. EL F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me, says: “Castoria is one of the very
finest and most remarkable remedies for Infants and children. In my
opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I cam
furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency
and merits.”
Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: “During the bat twelve
years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best
preparations of the kind, being safe In the hands of parents and very ef-
fective in relieving children’s disorders, while the ease with which such
a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage.’*

A friend of mine told me of a curi-
ous experience. He was carefully
8talking a big bull elephant in a large
herd, when they got his wind, and a
big cow elephant charged him. He
jumped behind a large tree as the
elephant reached him, and, being un-
able to stop herself in time, the ele-
phant drove her tusks with such force
into the tree that they snapped off
close to her head. The elephant was
stunned for a moment, but luckily
turned and galloped after the fast re-
treating herd, leaving him the posses-
sor of some 80 pounds of ivory, valued
at about $250.—Circle Magazine.
