SPRING KIDNEY TROUBLE,
Vividly Described by One Who Has
Suffered froin It.
Mrs. H. Mutzabaugh, of Buncannon,
fa., says: “I was sick and miserable all
last Spring and as I
did not know wbat
was the matter I
kept going down
and down until I
was a physical wreck.
I had smothering
spells, flashes of
heat over the kid
neys and pain in pass
ing the kidney secre
tions, which contained sediment. My
husband urged me to try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, and at last I did so. They
did me much good, and I used in all
eight boxes which restored me to per
fect health.”

DEMAND CHICORY.
Foreign-Born Americans Introducing a
New Product.
The steady demand by those who have
-emigrated to this country from Europe is
daily creating a greater demand for chic
ory to improve the flavor of coffee.
It is a fact not generally known to
Americans that chicory, owing to its pe
culiar properties, neutralizes harmful ef
fects which result from the drinking of
straight coffee as a beverage.
Now that it is becoming so difficult to
secure coffees at any price which are
really palatable, it is worth remembering
that a mixture of coffee and chicory will
give a beverage which we have dili
gently sought for but so often failed to
find, for the family breakfast, viz., the
same good coffee we so much admire in
first-class restaurants and hotels.
We have our European citizens by
adoption to thunk for this. Used as they
have been for more than a hundred years
to odd a little chicory in their coffee, this
was a custom that clung to them after
coming to America.
Their constant demand for it upon our
merchants led to its being imported in
largely increasing quantities until one of
•the largest foreign firms engaged in pre
paring it established great works here in
America.
Since then Its use has widened until
nearly all classes are now using it
•daily. Because it improves the taste of
-coffee and takes away its bad effects.
Leading merchants are now putting up
dheir package coffees with the addition
of the proper proportion of chicory and
.plainly labelling the package accordingly.
This insures you coffee and chicory of
the quality that will produce a beverage
like that served in the best hotels and
restaurants.
Couldn’t Spare O’Connell.
Daniel O’Connell had got a man off
at one time for highway robbery and
at another for burglary; but on the
third occasion, for stealing a coasting
brig, the task of hoodwinking the jury
seemed too great for even his powers
of cajolery. However, he made out
that the crime was committed on the
high seas and obtained an acquittal.
The prisoner lifted up his hands and
Hfeyes to heaven and exclaimed: "May
fhe Lord long spare you, Mr. O’Connell
-—to me!’’
An End Missing.
An Irishman who served on board
.a man-of-war was selected by one of
the officers to haul in a towline of con
siderable length that was towing over
■the taffrail. After pulling in 40 or 50
•fathoms, which had put his patience
.severely to proof, as well as every
muscle of his arms, he muttered to
himself:
"Surely it's as long as to-day and to
morrow. It's a good week's work for
any five in the ship. Had luck to the
leg or the arm it'll leave at last. What,
more of it yet? Och, murder! The
say’s mighty deep, to be sure!”
After continuing in a similar strain
-and conceiving there was little prob
ability of the completion of his labor,
he suddenly stopped short, and, ad
dressing the officer of the watch, ex
claimed: “Bad manners to me, sir, if
1 don’t think somebody’s cut off the
• Ther end of it!”—The Pathfinder.
LOST $300.
Buying Medicine When Right Food
Was Needed.
Money spent for “tonics” and “brac
ers” to relieve indigestion, while the
poor old stomach is loaded with pas
try and pork, is worse than losing a
pocketbook containing the money.
If the money only is lost it’s bad
■enough, hut with lost health from
wrong eating, it is hard to make the
money hack.
A Mich, young lady lost money on
irugs but is thankful she found a
vay to get back her health by proper
t'ood. She writes:
“I had been a victim of nervous dys
pepsia for six years and spent three
hundred dollars for treatment in the
attempt to get well. None of it did
me any good.
"Finally I tried Grape-Nuts food,
and the results were such that, if it
cost a dollar a package. I would not
he without it. My trouble had been
caused by eating rich food such as
pastry and pork.
“The most wonderful thing that
ever happened to me, I am sure, was
the change in my condition after 1
began to eat Grape-Nuts. I began to
improve at once and the first week
gained four pounds.
“I l'eel that I cannot express my
self in terms that are worthy of the
benefit Grape-Nuts has brought to
me. and you are perfectly free to
publish this letter if it will send some
poor sufferer relief, Euch as has come
to me.”

NEW ARRIVALS IN CANADA
NEARLY 300.QG8 IN 1907
ABOUT SIXTY THOUSAND FROM
THE UNITED STATES.
Now that it is known that in the
year just closed nearly sixty thou
sand from the United States declared
their intention of making their homes
in Canada, it might not he out of
place to search for some reasons that
would bring this about. These people
are but following the example of the
fifty-five or sixty thousand who did
the same thing the year previous, and
an almost equal number who the year
before that but followed the example
of the thousands o'? the year preced
ing. An excellent climate, certain and
positive crops of grain of all kinds,
good markets for their produce, land
—and good land, too— at low prices,
easy terms of payment, (not forget
ting the 160 acres of land given free
by the Government, particulars of
which the Canadian Government Agent
whose name appears elsewhere will
tell you about) and then the splendid
social conditions. The situation is
pretty well sized up by a writer in one
of the magazines. Quoting from this
article, we find this: “Those of us
who made good in the States,” inter
jected another settler as if to con
tinue the story of his neighbor, “have
had'it easy from the start; a little
money is a mighty good thing on com
ing into a new country. But those
who make an entry, or even buy lands
at low rates, are able to square things
in two or three seasons' crops. There
are hardships in building shanties,
and then with increasing prosperity
getting things into shape for better
homes. Rut affairs go much as in the
States. We have the largest liberty in
the world; there is more home rule m
the Provinces than in the several
states of the Republic. Taxes are
light and with only a few million peo
ple west of Winnipeg we don't get in
each other's way. One s friends over
the line probably thought we would not
live through the winter; and while it
is cold, real cold, it is free from the
moisture experienced in the east.
Schools are good as encouragpd by
the Government; the enterprising
American promoter and Yankee drum
mer see to it that we take notice of
the latest improvements and best agri- ■
cultural machinery. Altogether we are
as near to affairs as we would be on
our own farms in the States. Winni
peg bears the same relation to us as
Chicago did at home; and Edmonton
with the surrounding region advances
as Omaha did in the days when we
were as young as the boys yonder.
We get together much as they did in
the granges over the border; the gov
ernment has established experimental
schools of agriculture, and progress In
every line is stimulated. This is a
great region for grazing,” we hear the I
Calgary citizen continuing, "and then
with building elevators of wheat at
one dollar a bushel, many of us find i
time to go over to the live stock ex- 1
hibition in Chicago or visit old friends j
during the course of the winter. !
Every man is taken for what he is
worth or for what he can raise; and
in this good air and on this fertile soil
we intend to show our old friends
that we are made of the right stuff—•
that we are chips of the old block
who built up the American West.”
