DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?
Profit by the Experience of One Who
Has Found Relief.
James R. Keeler, retired farmer, of
Fenner street, Cazenovia, N. Y., says:
“About fifteen years
ago I suffered with
my back and kid
neys. I doctored and
used many remedies
without getting re
lief. Beginning with
Doan's Kidney Pills,
I found relief from
the first box, and
two boxes restored
me to good, sound condition. My wife
and many of my friends have used
Doan's Kidney Pills with good results
and I can earnestly recommend them.”

Thinks Clergy Are Losing Ground.
■Mr. Charles Booth, the great social
scientist, in his volume on "Religion
in London” is convinced that the
clergy are losing ground by becoming
servers of tables and organizers of
charity instead of spiritual guides to
their flocks.
Unearthing the Briber.
During a recent campaign in Eng
land a certain woman called on a la
borer's wife and asked if her husband
would vote for Lord Blank. "No, he
won't,” was the reply. “But, remem
ber the blankets and coals you got
from the clergyman.” "Never mind
them. He's been promised a new pair
of trousers if he votes for Mr. Dash."
Suspecting that this was a ease of
bribery that must be outdone, the
woman canvasser offered a sovereign
if the woman would tell her who had
promised the trousers. The money
paid over, the woman smiled. "I
promised them,” she said, "and I'll
buy them out of your sovereign.”
Sympathy Not Needed.
Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, Norway's fa
mous arctic explorer, now minister
to Gerat Britain, makes light of the
sympathy expressed by many persons
anent the "hardships" of travelers. He
says: "There never was such mis
placed sympathy as commiserating a
man who lias lived in the wilds. Most
ruen who travel in out-ol'-the-vvay parts
of the world do so because they like
it. People who live in the center of
what is called civilization do not un
derstand, cannot realize, the spell that
getting close to nature, battling with
nature, has on the heart.” He does
not believe in the use of alcoholic bev
erages, holding that while liquor will
raise the temperature for a few min
utes, after that it falls lower than
before.
NO MEDICINE.
But Change of Food Gave Final Relief.
Most diseases start in the aliment
ary canal—stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food we eat—white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.—these
things are digested in th'e small intes
tines, and if we eat too much, as most
of us do, the organs that should di
gest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta
tion, indigestion, and a long train
of ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest,
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and a bloaty,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
Indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash, woman
wriie^:
“About five years ago I suffered with
bad stomach—dyspepsia, indigestion,
constipation—caused, I know now,
from eating starchy and greasy food.
“I doctored for two years without
any benefit. The doctor told me thei*e
was no cure for me. I could not eat
anything without suffering severe
pain in my back and sides, and I be
came discouraged.
“A friend recommended Grape-Nuts
and I began to use it. In less than
two weeks I began to feel better, and
Inside of two months I was a well
woman and have been ever since.
“I can eat anything I wish with
pleasure. We eat Grape-Nuts and
cream for breakfast, and are very
fond of it.” Name given by Postum

CRISIS IN FRANCE.
POPE'S REJECTION OF PROFFER
STAGGERS COUNTRY.
Government Regard Pope's Action as
Little Less Than Summons of
French Catholics to Rebellion.
Paris.—France now seems to face an
alarming religious crisis. The reports
of the pope’s eleventh-hour rejection
of the governments final proffer under
which Catholic worship could be con
tinued under the common law turns
out to be only too true and the dead
lock now is apparently complete. Ac
cording to the holy father's orders,
declarations under the law of 1881 are
prohibited, but the parish priests must
remain in their churches until driven
out by violence.
The official confirmation of this com
munication has created a sensation,
both in government and Catholic cir
cles. Cardinal Lecot, archbishop of
Bordeaux, Archbishop Germain and
others who had already advised com
pliance with the law, have hastily in
structed the parish priests of their dio
ceses that their former advice is null
and void, and now in all the churches
of Paris bishops and priest^, after
mass, have read the letter from Cardi
nal Richard, archbishop of Paris, con
taining the order of the holy see to
continue in the churches, but to ab
stain from any declaration, and Cardi
nal Packard's own instructions, in
view of the order issued by the prefect
of the Seine not to permit for the pres
ent the employment of ceremonial
draperies at marriages or funerals.
The church wardens, whose legal
existence expires December 11, were
thanked by the pupils of the various
churches.
Prayers were offered for the pro
tection of God during the coming pe
riod of persecution.
The government regards the action
of the pope as little less than a sum
mons of the French Catholics to open
rebellion, as rendering the situation
exceedingly grave and possibly entail
ing tlie most deplorable consequences.
Premier Clemonceau and M. Briand,
minister of public worship, were in
conference all day December 10. There
is no sign of the government faltering,
but it recognizes that it may be forced
to resort, to extreme measures. M.'
Briand said that the decision cf the
pope was.entireiy unexpected.
Week's Forecast of National Legisla
tion.
Washington, D. C.—The national
House of Representatives will give the
greater part of its time during the
present week to the consideration of
the legislative and judicial appropria
tion bills, while the Senate will pay
especial attention to the report of the
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Flections on the right of Senator
Smoot of Utah to retain his seat. In
the house the appropriation will be
taken tip Dec. 10, immediately after
the c-iose of the routine morning bus
iness, while in the Senate considera
tion of the Smoot question will he post
poned until December 11. The Senate
proceedings on that subject will be
intermitted after one day’s discussion
to give place to the Algeciras treaty,
which is set for December 12. Rep
resentative Tawncy, chairman of the
Rouse Committee on Appropriations, is
if the opinion that the legislative bill
will be voted on before the close of
the week.
The fortifications appropriation bill,
which is now under consideration in
committee, will immediately follow the
legislative bill, and Chairman Taw
ney is hopeful that it may be passed
sefore tbe Christmas holidays. Chair
man Grosvenpr of the Committee on
Merchant Marine is still hopeful of
securing a favorable report on the
ship subsidy bill in modified form this
week, but it is not generally expected
that further progress can be made
with this measure before the Christ
mas holidays. There is already talk
af adjournment for the Christmas hol
idays, and the prospect is that it will
occur about the 20th instant, and that
the holidays will continue until Jan
uary 7.

TERRIBLE ITCHING SCALP.
Eczema Broke Out Also on Hands anti
Limbs—An Old Soldier Declares:
"Cuticura Is a Blessing.”
"At all times and to all people I
am willing to testify to the merits of
Cuticura. It saved me from worse
than the tortures of hades, about the
year 1900, with itching on my scalp
and temples, and afterwards it com
menced to break out on my hands.
Then it broke out on my limbs. I
then went to a surgeon whose treat
ment did mo no good, but rather .ag
gravated the disease. I then told him
I would go and see a physician in
Erie. The reply was that I could go
anywhere, but a case of eczema like
mine could not be cured; that I was
too old (80). I went to an eminent
doctor in the city of Erie and treated
with him for six months, with like
results. I had read of the Cuticura
Remedies, and so I sent for the Cuti
cura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent,
and continued taking the Resc-Tvent
until I had taken six bottles, stopping
it to take the Pills. I "was now get
ting better. I took two baths a day
and at night I left the lather of the
Soap dry on. 1 used the Ointment ;
with great .effect after washing ir
warm water, to 'stop the itching at
once. 1 am now cured. The Cuticura
treatment is a blessing, and should
be used by every one who has itching
of the skin. T can't say any more
and thank God that He has given the
world such a curative. Win. H. Gray,

“‘Yes sir,’ the servant answered.
“The major, dressing for dinner
that night, said again:
“ ‘I suppose, .Tames, tha^ you did
as 1 told you about those boots?'
“James laid 35 cents on the bureau.
“ ‘Yes, sir,’ said he, ‘and this is all
I collld get for them; though the cor

given half a dollar if pay day hadn't
been so far off.’ ”

Scheme Worked Out Badly.
Congressman Sulzer represents a
densely populated district on the East
J side of New York city. It occurred to
him some months ago that though
there are no gardens in his district
some of his constituents might grow
plants in boxes placed on window
sills or fire escapes, so he sent an as
' sortment of seed to the inmate of a
; model tenement house owned by one
of his friends. The latter met him
. a few days ago and said: “See here, j
Sulzer, I want you to cut out that seed
business. It’s the limit!” “Why,
I what's the matter?' asked the aston
ished Sulzer, and he explained why he
J had sent the seeds. "Oh, you meant j
well, all right,” returned the friend, j
1 scornfully, “but when I visited the
! place the other day I found that about
ten families were raising cabbage, cu
cumbers and tomatoes in the bath
tubs.”
