“When I began your treatment my
head was terrible. 1 had buzzing and
chirping noises in my head.
“I followed your advice faithfully and
took Peruna as you told me. Now 1
might say I am well.
“I want to go and visit my mother

DIDYOU KNOW THAT Scfaaap’S
Laxative Chill Cure
was really a Chill Cure and
Liver Regulator combined.
It not alone kills all germs
“but at the same time expels
them by acting on the Liv

contain any Quinine,

is perfectly safe to take.

[ Mean Insinuation.
"He was a brand-new milkman, and,
lacking the wisdom of more experi

mh that on certain subjects he should
at aR times maintain a frigid silence.
“Jt looks like rain this morning, mum,”
he said pleasantly, gazing skyward, as
he. unured the milk into his customer's
'CKg. “It always does," was the curt
reply. And the milkman was so dis
satisfied with the remark that he
strode away and savagely kicked a
lamp post.
The Contrast.
The elderly bride regarded in the

Valenciennes, her long rope of perfect

Complete Recovery from Coffee Ills.
“About nine years ago my daughter,
from coffee drinking, was on the verge
of nervous prostration,” writes a Ixmis
ville lady. “She was confined for the
most part to her home.
“When she attempted a trip down
town she was often brought home in a
cab and would be prostrated for days
Afterwards.
“On the advice of her physician she
gave up coffee and tea, drank Postum,
and ate Grape-Nuts for breakfast.
“She liked Postum from the very
-beginning and we soon saw improve
ment. To-day she is In perfect health,
the mother of five children, all of
whom are fond of Postum.
' She has recovered, is a member of
three charity organizations and a club,
•tolding an office in each. We give
Postum and Grape-Nuts the credit for
her recovery.”

BATH HOUSES
TO PAY BENT
SECRETARY GARFIELD IN AN.
NUAL REPORT SAYS SO.
PROPOSES NEW BATH HOUSE
Secretary Declares That Law Pro
viding for Free Baths is Being
Fulfilled—Suggests Needed Im
provements.
Washington.—In the annual report
of James R. Garfield, secretary of
the Interior, made public Monday,
the secretary declares ihat the law
providing for “the maintenance of
free baths for the invalid poor of
the United States” has been carefully
carried out at Hot Springs, Ark.
Secretary Garfield also declares
that; bath houses located on govern
ment land at Hot Springs should be
required to pay ground rent to the
United (States in addition to the
charge per tub for ihe hot water, now
paid by these houses.
The secretary also thanks the gov
ernment should build a new free
bath house, declaring that the pres
ent institution is not only inadequate,
but that it is insanitary as well, and
that if the government intends to
continue supplying a free place for
baths all necessary conveniences
should be supplied.
The report covers a wide field,
dealing as it does with the work of
the various bureaus embraced with
in its management, the territories,
national parks and reservations, Dis
trict of Columbia corporations, etc.
HOUSTON’S WIDOW STARVES.
General Sam Houston’s Wife Suffers
at Age of 114.
Anadarko.—Left alone to die of
hunger and shunned by her tribes
men, is the sad story of Melisa
Houston, the Indian wife of Gen.
Sam Houston, first president of Tex
as. This woman is, according to the
best authority, 114 years old. She is
a fullbiood Kiowa, and at one time
was a belle of the famous tribe of
warriors.
She lives in her tepee on the banks
of the Washita river, three miles
from the agency. As the white set
tlers know it would offend the mem
bers of her tribe should they render
assistance they refrain from doing so.
She is given small rations once a
week, enough to sustain life, but she
refuses any one the privilege of en
tering her tepee.
General Houston lived among the
Cherokee tribe when he was quite
young, but later came southwest and
east his lot with the Kiowa and mar
ried Melissa.
EARTHQUAKE IN LI PARI.
Shocks Continue1 Three Seconds and
Stromboli Volcano Breaks Out.
Rome.—A violent earthquake shock,
running north-southwest and east
northwest, lasting three seconds, and
during which the Stromboli volcano
began eruption, occurred on Strom
boli island Sunday.
The phenomenon was accompanied
by prolonged dull rumblings. The
houses on the islands were badly
damaged, and the populace fled to
the streets in panic, but no one was
hurt.
The weather is intensely cold on
Stromboli island.
HANGS FOUR DAYS BY SKIRTS.
Another Woman Lies Buried Under
Debris in Stricken Italy.
Naples.—Reports of harrowing epi
sodes from Reggio continue to flow
in. A girl, in a frantic effort to es
cape, attempted to leap over the
railing of a balcony in her home.
Her skirts caught in the ironwork
and she hung there swaying in the
wind for four days.
A woman buried under the debris
of her house, although slightly In
jured, was unable to move, while her
husband and children, crushed on the
floor above, bled slowly to death,
their blood dropping on her breast
and arms. She was finally taken
out alive, but was demented, not
even knowing her name.
Relief for Earthquake Victims.
Washington.—President Roosevelt
was compelled to decline the invi
tation to be present at the New York
relief meeting Thursday night. Gov
ernor Hughes, Mayor McClellan and
other men of national prominence
will appear at the meeting, at which
a number of operatic artists will
sing. As high as 1100 each is being
realized for the boxes. The National
Red Cross cabled $150,000 Sunday
night, cf which Andrew Carnegie con
tributed $10,000. More money is be
ing raised and Roosevelt in his mes
sage to congress recommends a huge
appropriation for Italy’s relief.
No Consolation.
“Well, it’s all over, my boy,” sighed
Mr. Oldboy, an antiquated bachelor.
“Miss DeYoung has refused me. “But
I suppose she lot you down easy by
promising to be a sister to you?” re
joined his friend. “No,” replied Old
boy, bitterly. “She wouldn’t even be
a granddaughter to me.”

HURT IN a WRECK.
Kidneys Badly Injured and Health Se
riously Impaired.
William White, R. R. man, 201 Con
stantine Street, Three Rivers, Mich.,
says: “In a railroad
collision my kidneys
must have been hurt,
as I passed bloody
urine with pain for a
long time after, was
weak and thin and
so I could not work.
Two years after I
went to the-hos
pital and remained al
most six months, but my case seemed
hopeless. The urine passed involun
tarily. Two months ago I began tak
ing Doan's Kidney Pills and the im
provement has been wonderful. Four
boxes have done me more good than
all the doctoring of seven years. I
gained so much that my friends won

WHY WELLS WAS WRATHY.
All Things Considered, He Had Some
Excuse for Anger.
Charles E. Wells, who has been
called the groundhog senator of West
Virginia, because he once introduced
a bill advocating the changing of
groundhog day from February 2 to
July 4, was staying over night at the
Grand hotel of a budding West Vir
ginia village not long ago.
He was awakened in the morning by
heavy pounding on his door, and the
voice of the old man night clerk say
ing “Five o’clock! Better get up or
you'll miss your train.”
Mr. Wells didn’t intend to catch a
morning train and hadn’t given any
instructions jliat he should be called
at the unearthly hour of five o'clock,
so he paid no attention to the oid
man’s early morning greeting and was
asleep again almost immediately.
In about 15 minutes he was again
awakened by the pounding on his door
and heard the voice of the old man
saying apologetically: “Don’t get up.
I rapped on the wrong door.”—Lippin
cott’s.
HANDS RAW AND SCALY.
Itched and Burned Terribly—Could
Not Move Thumbs Without Flesh
Cracking—Sleep Impossible.
Cuticura Soon Cured His Eczema.
"An itching humor covered both my
hands and got up over my wrists and
even up to the elbows. The itching
and burning -were terrible. My hands
got all scaly and when I scratched, the
surface would be covered with blis
ters and then get raw. The eczema
got so bad that I could not move my
thumbs without deep cracks appearing.
I went to my doctor, but his medicine
could only stop the itching. At night
I suffered so fearfully that I could not
sleep. I could not bear to touch my
hands with water. This went on for
three months and I was fairly worn
out. At last I got the Cuticura Reme
dies and in a month I was cured. Wal

Hen Lays Ej>3s on Table.
A resident of the village of Beighton
(Eng.) has a hen which always lays
her eggs either on the kitchen table—
a peculiarly appropriate place—or in
one of the beds in the house. When
the house door is shut and the bird
wants to lay an egg it paces back
wards and forwards until the door is
opened.

LAME BACK PRESCRIPTION
The increased use of “Toris” for
lame back and rheumatism is causing
considerable discussion among the
medical fraternity. It is an almost in
fallible cure when mixed with cer
tain other ingredients and taken prop
erly. The following formula is effec
tive: “To one-half pint of good
whiskey add one ounce of Toris Com
pound and one ounce Syrup Sarsapa
rilla Compound. Take in tablespoon
ful doses before each meal and be
fore retiring.”
Toris compound is a product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceu
tical Co., Chicago, but it as well as the
other ingredients can be had from any
good druggist.
The Unexpected.
The judge was about to pass sen
tence upon the condemned man.
“In view of certain contingent cir
cumstances,” he said, “I'm inclined to
treat you with leniency.”
A veiled woman who was sitting at
a little distance suddenly burst into
tears.
"Are you the prisoner’s wife?” his
honor inquired.
The woman could only nod.
“I think that in view of all these
mitigating influences,” the judge re
sumed, “I will fix three years—”
The veiled woman suddenly gasped.
“It ain’t half enough, judge; it ain’t
half enough!” she wildly shrieked.
Cut Off in His Prime.
That the negro residing in the north
has the fondness for euphonious words
—regardless of their meaning—that
characterizes his brother in the south
was illustrated by a remark overheard
a few days ago.
Two colored women stood chatting
at the corner of Eighth avenue and
One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street.
One of them, ostentatiously clad in
mourning, said with a doleful shake
of the head in reply to a query from
the other:

Harmony.
“We must have harmony,” said the
leaders of the party.
“We quite agree,” interposed a mem
ber of the minority. “Indeed, there
has been nothing in the way of com
plete harmony all along save the at
titude of a stupid, truculent and asi
nine majority.”
There was interruption at the point.
Still, the purpose of the meeting was
not wholly defeated, the police acting
as a harmonizing agency.
Never Gives Up.
“I just had to marry him; he told
me he never gave up anything he
loved.”
“Well, it's good to have a husband
who loves one.”
“Y-e-s, but I have learned that he
loves money, also.”

Western Canada, the
Government
has increased the area
that may be taken by a

are in the grain-raising area, where mixed farming
is also carried on with unqualified success. A
railway will shortly be built to Hudson Bay, bring

these wheat-fields, where schools and churches
are convenient, climate excellent, railways close to
