HERITAGE OF CIVIL WAR.
Thousands of Soldiers Contracted
Chronic Kidney Trouble While
In the Service.
The experience of Capt. John L. Ely,
of Co. E, 17th Ohio, now living at 500
East Second street, Newton, Kansas,
will interest the thou
sands of veterans who
came back from the
Civil War suffering tor
tures with kidney com
plaint. Capt. Ely says:
“I contracted kidney
trouble during the
Civil War, and the oc
casional attacks final
ly developed into a
chronic case. At one time I had to use
a crutch and cane to get about. My
back was lame and weak, and besides
the aching, there was a distressing
retention of the kidney secretions. I
was in a bad way when I began using
Doan’s Kidney Pills in 1901, but tbe
remedy cured me, and I have been
well ever since.”

“GONE TO THE DEVIL.”
London Inn Responsible for Origin of
Common Saying.
The old inns of England have been
responsible for the origin of many
common sayings. An instance of this
is the proverbial phrase “He has
gone to the devil.” On Fleet street,
London, near Temple Bar, was once a
tavern which was known by the strict
ly old-fashioned name, “The Devil and
Saint Dunstan." It was famous for its
good dinners and excellent wines, and
received a large patronage from the
lawyers of Temple Bar.
It was familiarly known as "The
Devil,” and when a lawyer left his
office to go there he usually left a no
tice on his door, “Gone to the Devil.”
There were some who patronized the
tavern to the neglect of their business,
and the notice was so regularly exhib
ited on their doors that it finally came
to be used to characterize the man
who was losing his grip and going to
destruction.—The Sunday Magazine.
MR. JOHNSON NOT TO BLAME.
Good Old Lady Understood How the
Mistake Occurred.
There is a good old lady who cannot
resist speaking well of all her ac
quaintances.
On Thanksgiving day she told the
colored man who did chores about the
place that he might go into the barn
yard and help himself to a chicken.
The man obeyed with alacrity and was
most profuse in his thanks.
In the course of a few days the
lady’s husband informed her that on
Thanksgiving day neighbors had seen
Mr. Johnson seize two choice hens
from the coop.
“I did tell him to take one." con
fessed the lady regretfully, "but, you
know, dear, how intensely Mr. John
son celebrates the holidays. Why, he
simply cannot help seeing things dou
ble.” _
The Peaceful Joy of the River.
An ingenious Spaniard says that
“rivers and the inhabitants of the wa
tery element were made for wise men
to contemplate and fools to pass by
without consideration.” And though
I will not rank myself in the number
of the first, yet give me leave to free
myself from the last, by offering to
you a short contemplation, first of riv
ers, and then of fish: concerning
which I doubt not but to give you
many observations that will appear
very considerable; I am sure they have
appeared so to me, and made many an
hour pass away more pleasantly, as I
have sat quietly on a flowery bank by
a calm river.—Isaac Walton.
Disparity.
The two young women, who had not
met for a long time, embraced each
other with much fervor.
“How's this, Kate? I hear you have
gone and married a rich widower. Is
he much older than you?”
“Well, there's considerable differ
ence between our ages, Clara. In fact,
he's a war veteran.”
“Spanish war?”
“Oh, no; he wasn’t in that.”
“Civil war, then, of course.”
“No—er—Mexican.”
FOUND OUT.
A Trained Nurse Made Discovery.
No one is in better position to knot#
the value of food and drink than a
trained nurse.
Speaking of coffee, a nurse of Wilkes
Barre, Pa., writes: "I used to drink
strong coffee myself, and suffered
greatly from headaches and indiges
tion. While on a visit to my brothers
I had a good chance to try Postum
Food Coffee, for they drank it alto
gether in place of ordinary coffee. In
two weeks after using Postum I found
I was much benefited and finally my
headaches disappeared and also the
indigestion.
“Naturally I have since used Postum
among my patients, and have noticed
a marked benefit where coffee has been
left off and Postum used.
“I observed a curious fact about
Postum when used among mothers. It
greatly helps the flow of milk In cases
where coffee is inclined to dry it up,
and where tea causes nervousness.
“I find trouble in getting servants to
make Postum properly. They most
always serve it before it has been
boiled long enough. It should be boiled
15 to 20 minutes after boiling begins
and served with cream, when it is cer
tainly a delicious beverage.” Read
“The Road to Wellville” in pkg3.

TWENTY-TWO KILLED
Fifty-one Killed or Injured in a Fear,
ful Train Wreck.
White River Junction, Vt., Sept.—
A fearful head-on collision between the
southbound Quebec express and a
northbound freight train on the Con
cord division of the Boston and
Maine Railroad occurred four miles
north of Canaan station Sunday, due
to a mistake in train dispatcher’s or
ders. From a demolished passenger
coach there were taken out 24 dead
and dying passengers, 27 others were
Injured, most of them seriously. Near
ly all of those who were in the death
car were returning from a fair at
Sherbrooke, Quebec, 60 miles north.
The conductor of the freight train was
given to understand that he had plen
ty of time to reach a siding by the
night operator at Canaan station, re
ceiving according to the superinten
dent of the division, a copy of a tele
graph order from the train dispatch
er at Concord, which confused the
train numbers 30 and 34. The. wreck
occurred just after the express had
rounded into a straight stretch of
track, but owing to the early morning
mist, neither engineer saw the oth
er’s headlight until to late. Twenty
two of the bodies were removed to
Concord during the day. The most se
riously injured, who were taken to
the Margaret Hitchcock hospital at
Hanover, N. H., include an unknown
boy, legs broken, arm torn out and
head injured, dying.
Have Faith in Canadians.
Ottawa, Can., Sept.—A cablegram
from Tokio to Japanese Consul Gen
eral Nosse, received Sunday, referring
to the Oriental riots at Vancouver,
says: “The feeling, in spite of the
character of the disturbance, being
much graver than that of San Fran
cisco, is favorable to Canada. While
greatly regretting that this deplora
ble incident should occur with a dom
inion of the British empire, whose al
ly Japan is, the tone of the press is
calm and the public shows no excite
ment. All are depending upon the jus
tice. friendship and fair play of the
people of Canada, fully expecting that
measures will be taken to protect
Japanese lives, and property.’’ Mr.
Nosse does not say who is the author
of the cable. Mr. Ishii, Japan,s repre
sentative who will investigate the af
fair. has arrived in Ottawa. He will
meet. President Laurier and other

Peace Congress Ends.
Munich, Sept.—The sixteenth Inter
national Peace Congress, which has
been in session since September 9,
ended last Saturday night, and the
delegates left the city. The general
opinion is that the congress has been
a most successful one. Emperor Wil
liam’s telegrams, expressing his
thanks for the greetings sent to him
by the congress, created an excel
lent impression. The congress urged
the Hague peace conference to pro
vide for an international court of jus
tice, for a general treaty making ar
bitration obligatory, and for a pe
riodic conference between the pow
ers.
Against Prohibition.
Leavenworth, Kan., Sept.—In re
fusing the application Saturday of At
torney General Jackson for a rehear
ing of the saloon cases, decided a
week ago, Judge Kilpatrick of the Cir
cuit Court severely criticised the pro
hibition law. He referred to the law
as “hostile and venomous to persons
who do not agree with it.” Last
week Judge Kilpatrick ordered the
sheriff to return to the owners the
valuable fixtures of 100 saloons seized
by that official. The state had failed
to present evidence *hat the saloon
men had sold liquor.
Robbers Slay Comrade.
El Paso, Tex., Sept.—In a quarrel

had stolen from a mining camp. Fe
doro Lopez, leader of a gang of Mex
ican outlaws, which for years has

committed numerous act of murder
and robbery, many of which were
credited to Yaqui Indians, was shot
and killed at the bandit’s stronghold
on the upper Yaqui river, in Sonora.
The extermination of the gang by the
Mexican authorities is now believed
to be only a matter of a short time.
Attack Preachers.
East St. Louis, 111., Sept.—Angered
hy a speech against the Catholic
church and by the announcement of
a lecture alleged to be an expose of
immorality among the clergy, a mob
of several hundred men attacked two
street preachers, members of the
“Band of Holiness,” Saturday night,
beat and bruised them and even pum
meled the policemen who came to
their rescue. L. D. King, who claims
to be a prophet, and a woman, who
claims to have been a nun, were the
victims.
May Be Settled.
Paris, Sept.—Gen. I)rude, in a dis
patch to the War Office, announcing
that he has given the Moraccan
tribesmen another day’s armistice to
enable them to come to an under
standing among themselves. A dele
gate from the Chaiouia tribe, who
made the request for the prolongation
of the armistice, said that his tribe
would, if necessary, use force to bring
the other tribes into an agreement.
Gen. Drude also announces that Abdel
Aziz, the sultan, left Fez for Rabat
on September 14.
The First Steamboat.
About a dozen years before the 13
English colonies declared their inde

William Henry, a native of Chester
county, Pennsylvania, attached a
steam engine to an old bateau and
managed to steam for some distance
down the Conestoga river, but by some
mishap the boat was sunk.

The leading lady of a road company
playing in one of the smaller cities in
Ohio concluded that she would press
some of her lace collars one morning.
She accordingly rang the bell, and
when the hall boy appeared said:
“Bring me up a hot iron.”
In course of time he returned empty
handed, and when the lady answered
his knock he said:
“I couldn’t get it for you, lady.”
“And why not?” she asked, mysti

child, her hostess said, “I suppose you
don’t have grace at your house.”
“Oh, no,” the little girl replied, “we

SKIN DISEASES
HUMORS IN THE BLOOD
When the blood is pure, fresh and healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth
and free from blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the circu
lation its presence is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These
humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or'sluggish
condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry
off the waste and refuse matter of the system. T his unhealthy matter is left
to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the acid
poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through the
pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis,
Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually
with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from which there
flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense.
It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other parts
of tlm body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds*
the acid hi the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended
to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it a
hard, leathery appearance. Acne makes its appearance on the face in the
