BLOATED WITH DROPSY
The Heart Was Badly Affected When
the Patient Began Using Doan’s.
Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwell, of 415 West
Fourth St.. Olympia, Wash., says: "Foi
over three years I suffered with a
!n. My feet and ankles swelled up, my
hands puffed, and became so tense I
could hardly close them. I had great
difficulty in breathing, and my heart
would flutter with the least exertion. 1
could not walk far without stopping
again and again to rest. Since using
four boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills the
bloating has gone down and the feel
ings of distress have disappeared.”

In the Central Park zoo, and having it
refused by none.
‘‘Oh, I know it isn't allowed: but I’m
not one of those individuals who offer
animals indiscriminate numbers of
hard-boiled eggs, frankfurters, cheese
sandwiches and cigar stumps. It's for
that sort of nuisance the rule about
feeding is made. A single peanut can't
ruin the digestion of a camel—or of
any other creature, for that matter,
and I never visit the zoo without a
bag or two of those legitmes to dis
tribute.
‘‘Yes, the camel is fond of them—

hippopotamus obligingly opens his

small that 1 doubt if he can quite de

“The kangaroo pokes his funny,
horse-like head out to me, munches the
peanut with relish, and then begs for
more. The elephant, deer, ostrich, and
even the lion, are all lovers of the pea

A physician says: "Until last fall
I used to eat meat for my breakfast
and suffered with indigestion until
the meat had passed from the stom
ach.
"Last fall I began the use of Grape
Nuts l'or breakfast and very soon
found I could do without meat, for
my body got all the nourishment
necessary from the Grape-Nuts, and
since then I have not had any indi
gestion and am feeling better and
have increased in weight.
“Since finding the benefit I derived
from Grape-Nuts I have prescribed
the food fo'r all of my patients suffer
ing from indigestion or over-feeding
and also for those recovering from
disease where 1 want a food easy to
take and certain to digest and which
will not overtax the stomach.
“I always find the results I look
for when I prescribe Grape-Nuts. For
ethical reasons please omit my name.”

The reason for the wonderful
amount of nutriment, and the easy di

find.
In the first place, the starchy part
of the wheat and barley goes through
various processes of cooking, to per
fectly change the starch into Dextrose
or Post Sugar, in which state it is
ready to be easily absorbed by the
blood. The parts in the wheat and
barley which Nature can make use
of for rebuilding brain and nerve cen

Under Difficulties
There were geraniums and petunias
in the window boxe3 hedging the
front porch. When the evening wind
blew across them it wafted a spicy
perfume to whoever sat in the wicker
chairs.
A little ray of light from the street
lamp touched the face of the pretty
girl in white, but the young man sat
in utter darkness. So far as he was
concerned it was an outer darkness
also. Still, he had made up his mind
for the dozenth time to speak up and
end his suspense. The previous 11
times his courage had failed at the
critical moments.
"It's mighty comfortable here on
the porch,” he began.
“Do you think so?” asked the girl,
vaguely.
“It certainly is,” said the young
man, leaning forward. “I—I don’t
suppose it’s just the porch and the
flowers, either, that makes it so nice.
I know I shouldn't enjoy it in the
least if some one else—if you—if you
weren't sitting opposite me!”
The girl laughed protestingiy.
“Yon just imagine that,” she said.
“Are you entered in the golf tourna
ment Saturday?”
“No—yes—that Is—I didn't know
there was to be a golf tournament,”
said the young man, determinedly
brushing the information aside as not
bearing on the subject. “Say, Eliz
abeth—”
The girl sprang to her feet with a
little shriek and struck madly at the
air. “One of those horrid June bugs!”
she gasped. “How I hate them! No,
it isn't in my hair—you'll pull it down
it's gone. Let’s go into the house.”
“Oh, no!” protested the young man.
who realized that going into the house
meant lights turned on full. He knew
he never would have the courage to
finish what he wanted to say in a
glare. “It's nicer out here!”
“I don’t believe you care a bit
whether those flappy things fly at me
or not!” she said, indignantly.
“Care!” cried the young man, fer
vently. “Why, Elizabeth, I care so
much—I wouldn't let anything hurt
you for the world. I care—”
The girl had abruptly walked over
to the geraniums. “My, these need
trimming,” she broke in, sweetly.
“Don’t you think flowers are an awful
trouble?”
man. “As I was saying, I care so—”
The girl gave another little shriek
and slapped at her arm. “Excuse me,”
she said, penitently. “I—I interrupt
ed you. Did you say you had entered
your name or not?”
“I (iWn't say,” replied the young
man. “I was conversing on an en
tirely different subject. Why don't you
sit down? You will find it more com
fortable. I wish you would listen to
me!”
“Why, Dick!” cried the girl in beau
tifully polite surprise. “Of course I’m
listening! What else could I be do
ing when there's no one else here but
you?”
“Thank you,” said the young man,
bitterly. "I suppose if there were
some one else to relieve you from the
stupidity of my remarks you’d be
only too glad to listen to him!”
“I'm sure I don’t know what you
mean,” said the girl with what .~ound
ed like angelic patience. “Really, Dick,
you haven’t said much of anything.
Your conversation has been, well,
rather incoherent thus far to-night!”
“You don’t give me a chance!” he
said, indignantly. “I believe you do
it on purpose!”
“For mercy’s sake, do What?” she
demanded, clasping her hands and
eaning toward him.
The young man opened his mouth
and shut it again when he reflected
on the impossibility of putting into
words just what she was doing. He
drew a long sigh and began again:
“Elizabeth,” he said, “it’s not that
I have much to say, but somehow I
can’t get it out—and you know—and
you won’t help. I—”
Th girl gave a startled jump and
brushed something off her gown.
“Excuse me,” she said. “It was
just another of those June bugs.”
“Funny they don’t bother me any,”
taid the young man, with suspicion.
’■They’re nothing to be afraid of, any
how. Elizabeth, you’ve got to listen_
there’s nothing on earth that can stop
me now, for I will have my say and
I’m going to keep on till I’ve said it
this time without any interrupt—”
He sprang to his feet with an ex
clamation, and performed a tolerably
good war dance for some seconds.
He coughed and strangled.
“I—one of those confounded things
flew down my throat," he explained,
between gasps.
“Goodness!” said the girl, sweetly.
“Why let a little thing like that in
terupt you?”
“Elizabeth, will you marry me?”
the young man almost shouted be
tween coughs.
There was a muffled giggle, and the
gfrl murmured: “Oh, Dick, this is so
unexpected!”—Chicago Daily News.

niaimfactared by tlie California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to

;The Laxative «
Known Quality
There are two classes of remedies; those of known qual
r/M y ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting
Mkli gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assist
ance; and another class, composed of preparations of
unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo
rarily, but injuriously, as a resultof forcing the natural
functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of
the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever
pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of
plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup,
in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con
tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy
of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system
gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti
pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi
ples ami quality are known to physicians generally, and the
remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with
the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know
of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience
that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that
it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really
.... represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence,
0 containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character.
r'£: There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed
as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence
of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go
elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known
article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know,
and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect
its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy.
To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said
that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional
integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer

No Improvement.
In one of the Sunday schools in
Malden, Mass., recently the teacher
of a class of small boys inquired of
each one if he thought he had been
a better boy during the year. Each
answer was in the affirmative except
one little fellow- about eight years
old, who was conspicuous for his si
lence. The teacher put the question
to him a second time, when with con
siderable earnestness he replied: “I
am just as worse as I ever was.”
