DESERVED TO WIN Hit* CASE
AT A CRITICAL TIME
SPAN OF CONCRETE
Women Are Likely to Suffer with Dan
gerous Kidney Disorders.
Really Able Argument Put Forward
by Accused Sailor.
WILL BE THE LONGEST IN THE
WORLD.
A very good ;story has recently been
told in the fleet of an incident which
happened when Admiral Evans was in
command of the Indiana. Ah old-time
bluejacket was at?the mast before
Capt. Evans, charged with getting
food out of a mess chest outside of
meal hours. This getting of food for
night w-atches is a common and strong
desire on the part of most men aboard
ship. •
Capt. Evans asked the man what he
had to say?; and the man, sizing up
the delicate situation, said:
“Captain, 1 didn't take no food outer
that chest. Why, captain, there
weren’t no food in that chest! I
looked in that chest, and, captain, I
met a cockroach coming out of that
chest with tears in his eyes.”—Har-
per’s Weekly. »
Mrs. John Kirk, R. F. D. No. 2, De-
troit, Mich., says: “Five years ago at
a critical time of life
1 was on the verge of
fJjBalBiyPEPra a collapse with kid-
W CikF nev troubles, back-
ache, dizziness, puffy
^■1^4-W dropsy swellings and
urinary irregularities.
I lost flesh and felt
langqiA, nervous or
\\* unstrung all the time.
As my doctor did not help me I began
using Doan’s Kidney Pills. In a few
weeks all these symptoms left me. I
now weigh 163 pounds and feel in ex-
cellent health.”

Is it a Catarrh Remedy, or a Tonic,
or is it Both?
Some pecptfe call Fernna a great tonic. Others refer to Pexnna as a great
catarrh remedy.
Which of these people are right? Is it more proper to call Peruna a ca-
tarrh remedy than to call it a tonic?
Onr reply is, that Peruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no effectual catarrh remedy that is not also a tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, a remedy must not only
have a specific action on the mucous membranes affected by the catarrh, but it
must have a general tonic acti:n on the nerv oils system.
Catarrh, even in persons v ho are othervrise strong, is a weakened condi-
tion of some mucous membrax , There must be something to strengthen the
circulation, to give tone to the .rteries, and to raise the vital forces.
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. The wonderful efficacy
of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a
trio of medical agents is formed in Peruna which constitutes a specific rem-
edy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be im-
proved upon. This action, reinforced by such renowned tonics as COILIN'-
SONIA CANADENSIS, CORYDALIS FORMOSA and CEDRON SEED, ought
to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations
in the body.
From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The
use of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every
quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over
enthusiastic. When practical experience confirms a well-grounded theory the
result is a truth that cannot he shaken.

Proposed Henry Hudson Memorial
Bridge to Have One Unique Feat-
ture—Still Another Triumph
for American Engineers.
There is not in the world & bridge
span in either stone or concrete which
approaches the dimensions of the pro-
posed Henry Hudson memorial bridge
to cross Spuyten Duyvil creek, says
the New York Sun.
The central span of that structure is
to be 703 feet In the clear. In steel
there already exists a longer arch, that
of the upper Niagara span, which
measures 840 feet. The design of the
Hell Gate bridge calls for a thousand-
foot arch of steel.
But in concrete there is nothing like
the big span which is to link Manhat-
tan to the mainland. The Engineering
News declares that the largest com-
pleted concrete arch is that of the
Grunwald bridge over the Isar, at Mu-
nich. It is only 230 feet wide.
The Walnut Lane concrete arch
bridge, now being built, has a slightly
longer span, 233 feet between faces of
abutments. These spans become in-
significant, even trivial, when com-
pared with that now proposed for the
Hudson memorial bridge.
iL A better idea of the boldness of the
proposal is had from a comparison
with the general field of masonry arch
construction, since the problems of
design and erection for-arches of stone
and concrete are in a measure the
same. The Cabin John arch of the
Washington aqueduct, 220 feet in span,
built about half a century ago, was
for a long time looked upon as an ex-
ceptional achievement, being the lar-
gest stone arch in the world.
Only in the last eight years has it
been exceeded, and there are now
three larger spans in stone, beside the
230-foot concrete arch at Grunwald—
Adda, 230 feet; Luxemburg, 278 feet,
and Plauen, 295 feet. In 50 years de-
signers have ventured only one-third
beyond the limits set by the Cabin
John arch, and only in three cases
have they found it necessarjk Now in
one leap the present limit is to be mul-
tiplied by two and a half.
The Henry Hudson arch carries a
double deck. The upper or main deck
is a highway floor, 80 feet wide be-
tween railings; it has a 50-foot road-
way and two 15-foot sidewalks. The
lower deck is to carry four tracks of a
rapid transit railway, but as no such
line is yet in prospect, the lower floor
system is- not to be put in place at
first, but only the necessary connec-
tions provided for it.
The total length of the bridge, in-
cluding the approaches, is .2,84.0 feet.
Its cost, excluding special ornamental
features, is estimated at $3,800,000.
About one-half of this is chargeable to
the large arch and its superstructure.
AN EXPLANATION
A GOOD COLD.
“That seems a very bad cold you’ve
got, my little man!”
“It’s a very good cold; it’s kept me
away from 'school for two weeks now! ’
STAR has for. years
been the world’s leading
brand of plug chewing
tobacco. Statistics show
that about one-fifth of
all the chewers of plug
tobacco chew STAR.
There’s a reason for
this enormous and con-
stantly increasing num-
ber of STAR chewers,
and it’s just this—
Star Plug has always
been manufactured with
one sole object in view—
to give chewers the best
chew of tobacco it is pos-
sible to produce, yet to
sell this STAR chew at
a moderate price.

“When my little boy was six weeks
old an eruption broke out on his face.
I took him to a doctor, but his face
kept on getting worse until it got so
bad that no one could look at him.
His whole face was one crust and
must have been very painful. He
scratched day and night until his face
was raw. Then I took him to all the
best specialists in skin diseases but
they could not do much for him. The
eczema got on his arms and legs and
we could not get a night’s sleep in
months. I got a set of Cuticura Reme-
dies and he felt relieved the first time
I used them. I gave the Cuticura
Remedies a good trial and gradually
the eczema healed all up. He is now
seven years old and I think the trou-
ble will never return.^ Mrs. John G.

Bees in Block of Stone.
While workmen were sawing through
a block of Bath stone at Exeter, Eng
land, they cut into a cavity in which
was found a cluster of two or three
dozen live bees.
The incident occurred at the works
of Messrs. Collard & Sons, monu-
mental sculptors. There was not much
sign of life in the bees at first, but
when air was admitted they gradually
revived and after a few hours several
of them were able to fly.

“Toeing the Mark.”
The phrase “toeing the mark” Is of
fairly old and somewhat obscure ori-
gin. Several different opinions are
held as to how it originated, but the
derivation most generally accepted is
that it comes from an old fashion
among military men in drilling, to
draw a line upon the ground and make
the company “dress” by toeing this
mark. The phrase thus acquired the
meaning of “'standing up” to some-
thing, and so became used in quarrels,
when one of the parties would chal-
lenge the other to stand up to him.
l£ven nowadays in some of the country
districts of Great Britain it is custom-
ary for lads when quarreling to pro-
voke their opponents finally to the en-
counter by drawing & line upon the
ground and telling them to “toe the
mark.” The meaning of the phrase as
now generally used is to come right
forward and “stand up’ to anything.

More chewers are
learning every day that
STAR, considered from
the standpoint of true
merit, has no competitor,
and is the one best chew.
For a long time there
was a prejudice (which
probably still exists)
among certain chewers
against the use of what is
generally termed “Navy
Tobacco,’’becauseof the
impression that all to-
bacco of that character
is too sweet.
It is true that some
brands of tobacco, similar
in appearance to STAR,
are too sweet to please
chewers accustomed to
the use of tobacco manu-
factured in thin plugs,
but we know that STAR
is right in every way.

Laundry work at home 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 (juality 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 than other makes.

8ees Age of Aeroplanes.
Henry Farman, who has attracted
notice because of his successful
aeroplane experiments, believes that
within 12 months aeroplanes will be
flying from 50 to 100 miles quite eas-
ily. “I can fly now as long as the
motor works,” he says, “and distance
is nothing to me.” Farman is 30 years
of age and is one of the three sons
of a well-known English * journalist.
Before taking to aeronautics Mr. Far-
man had made a considerable name in
the French sporting world. When
cycle racing was the rage he and his
brother won 'many championships.
They formed a tandem team which
proved invincible. Then he took to
motoring, and won the Paris and Nice
races in 1902. In the great Paris-to-
Vienna race he gained first honors for
heavy machines. His motor-racing
career, however, came to a sudden
termination after an accident w'hich
landed him high up in the branches
of a tree.
Instantaneous Action.
“I was almost distracted by a ter-
rible itching which defied all treatment
until I obtained a box of Hunt's Cure.
The first application afforded instant
and absolute relief. The one box ef-
fected a complete cure.
“It is simply wonderful in Its in-
stantaneous action.”
