KIDNEY TROUBLE
Suffered Two Years—Relieved In Three
Months.
R. C. B. FIZER, Mt. Sterling, Ky.,
■ writes:
“l have suffered with kidney and
bladder trouble for ten years past.
“Last March I commenced using
Peruna and continued for three months.
I have not used it since, nor have I felt
a pain.
“I believe that I am well and I there
fore give my highest commendation to
the curative qualities of Peruna.”
Pe-ru-na for Kidney Trouble.
Mrs. Geo. II. Simser, Grant, Ontario,
Can., writes:
“ I had not been well for about four
years. / had kidney trouble, and, In
fact, felt badly nearly all the time.
“This summer I got so very bad I
thought I would try Peruna, so* I wrote
to yon and began at once to take Peruna
and Manalin.
“ I took only two bottles of Peruna
and one of Manalin, and now I feel
better than 1 have for some time.
“I feel that Peruna and Manalin cured
me and made a different woman of me
altogether. 1 bless the day I picked up
thelittle book and read of your Peruna.’
It is the business of the kidneys to
remove from the blood all poisonous
materials. They must be active all the
time, else the system suffers. There are
times when they need a little assistance.
Peruna is exactly this sort of a rem
edy. It has saved many people from
disaster by rendering the kidneys ser
vice at a time when they were not able
to bear their own burdens.
SPORTS OF CHILDREN.
Skipping rope is a childish pastime
oC ancient origin. In place of a rope,
a vine stripped of leaves was original
ly used.
The childish amusement of riding a
cane is of great antiquity. It was
practiced by the children of Greece
and ancient Rome.
The game of hide and seek is an
other youthful pastime of ancient
origin. It came from Europe about
the beginning of the seventeenth cen
tury.
The spinning of tops, a favorite
amusement among children in the
spring, also came from the Greeks.
Records show that this kind of fun
was in vogue at the tieie of Vergil.
Leap-frog is mentioned' in the
works of both Shakespeare and John
son. It has been played by chi dren
from early times, and is still a fa
vorite game with boys.
, The flying kite derived its name
from its originally being made to re
semble that species of bird called a
kite. The amusement of kite flying is
about two centuries old in Europe.
Probably it originated in China,
where, so records tell, the practice
of flying kites is very ancient.
Not the Only Hot Place.
“The most serious objection I have
to dying,” said the llostonian, "is that
I shall have to leave Boston.”
“Aw, don’t worry about that,” said
the Chicagoan; “Boston ain’t the only
bot place.”—The Bohemian.
BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.
When a little human machine (or a
large one) goes wrong, nothing is so
important as tne selection ot tootl to
bring it around again.
“My little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
.bpng so weak, he was frequently
■thrown into convulsions,” says a Col
orado mother.
“I decided a change might help, so
took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
“When I reached ray sister’s home
she said immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although I
had never used the food, we got some
and for a few days gave him just the
juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He
got stronger so quickly we were soor»
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
in a wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong and
well.
“That showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, 1 raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is a strong healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph I send you what a strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn’t look anything like that be
fore we found this nourishing food.
Grape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn’t keep any other fcod on his
stomach.” Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
All children can be built to a more
sturdy and healthy condition upon
Grape-Nuts and cream. The food con
tains the elements nature 'demands,
from which to make the soft gray
filling in the nerve centers and brain.
A well-fed brain and strong, sturdy
nerves absolutely insure a healthy
body.

FARMS GIVEN AWAY
LARGE TRACTS OF INDIAN
LANDS TO BE OPENED.
Prospective Settlers Are Preparing
for the Run for the 2,000,000
Acres to Be Given Away
This Summer.
This summer will see great tracts
of Indian lands thrown open to white
settlement, the last of great impor
tance and value to be thus disposed of.
The land comprises 2,000,000 acres and
belongs to the Crow, Shoshone and
Flathead tribes. When these rich
lands have been distributed among the
lucky winners of the gigantic land lot
teries, the glories of Lo as an exten
sive land owner will have departed,
for there will be little more property
in the Indians’ hands worth the white
man's trouble in appropriating.
About 1,000,000 acres will be thrown
open in the Crow reservation, in south
ern Montana, and the same amount in
the Shoshone, or Wind River reserva
tion in Wyoming, several hundred
thousand acres to be opened in the
Flathead reservation, near Missoula,
Mont. It is estimated that from one
half to two-thirds of this vast acre
age will offer opportunities for irriga
tion, and the rest will be available for
grazing purposes. On the estimate of
1,200,000 acres of arable land, divided
into homesteads of 40 acres, the new
reservations will open opportunities
to 300,000 heads of families, and will
be capable of supporting a farming
population of 1,500,000 people, on the
estimate of five persons to each family.
Of course, irrigation works will have
to be constructed, but all three reser
vations are well watered, and the gov
ernment has begun extensive irriga
tion projects which will reclaim a
large portion of the land not irrigable
at the present time.
The largest of these government
projects on the reservations is at
Huntley, on the ceded strip in the
Crow reservation. Here the govern
ment has been at work for a year or
more, and thousands of acres of the
lands to be thrown open will be con
verted into productive ranches within

a few months from the time of the
opening. The land that Is reclaimed
by the government will have the act
ual cost of the reclamation work add
ed to the amount per acre* paid by
each homesteader. This charge will
be comparatively small, however,
when it is considered that the home
steader gets his land practically free
and pays a small sum for a per
petual water right on a government
canal.
The Shoshone reservation will doubt
less be the first opened. It was tc
have been thrown open for settlement
on June 15 of this year, but
congress postponed the opening until
August.
The Shoshone reserve is one of the
largest in the country, containing
nearly 3,500 square miles. It is sur
rounded by mountain ranges, which
shelter the reservation from severe
storms. It is one of the best watered
reservations in the country, and one
irrigation project now under consider
ation by the government will reclaim
enough land to make 13 colonies
the size of the noted Greeley (Col.)
district, which is considered the rich
est agricultural community in the
world.
The Crow reservation, in southern
Montana, is only a few hundred miles
distant from the Shoshone reservation,
and is just such a land of promise.
It, also, is splendidly watered, and
the climate is about the same as that
of the Shoshone reserve.
The Flathead agency is near Mis
soula, Mont., Jocko being the head
quarters of the agent, W. H. Smead
The lands that will be thrown open
on this reservation are particularly
well adapted to the raising of hay.
wheat and oats. The Indians have
raised much alfalfa, which commands
a high price, with a ready market ir
the mining towns of Montana. This
reservation is also the center of the
Montana fruit belt, and under the cul
tivation of white men, is certain to be
come a great fruit raising section
There are only a few hundred Flat
heads, and the tribe is dwindling rap
Idly. The Indians are law-abiding,
and many of them are hard-working,
and the white settlers will find them
good neighbors.

SEVEN YEARS AGO

"Seven years ago j
I was suffering very !
much through the
failure of the kid
neys to eliminate
the uric acid from
my system. My
back was very lame
and ached if I
overexerted myself in the least degree.
At times I was weighed down with a
feeling of languor and depression and
suffered continually from annoying ir
regularities of the kidney secretions.
I procured a box of Doan’s Kidney
Pills and began using them. I found
prompt relief from the aching and
lameness in my back, and by the time
I had taken three boxes I was cured
of all irregularities.”

THE CADDY’S COMMENT.
One That Was Not Very Complimen- I
tary to a Professional
Player.
Walter J. Travis, the golfer, set up
his ball, and then made half a dozen
swishes at the short grass with the
driver, relates the New York Tribune.
“I am not in good form,” he said, “I
am playing like a broker we had here
last week.
“This broker played once • around,
making a dreadful exhibition of him
selt. Of this, though, he was not
aware. He was doing pretty well for
him.
"The man’s caddy was an unusually
quiet, stolid lad, a boy with a freckled
face quite devoid of expression.
“And since the caddy never once
laughed or sneered at his bad play,
the broker took a fancy to him. And
he said at the end of the round, in
the hope of getting a compliment:
“ ‘I have been traveling for the last
six months. I am quite out of prac- I
tice. That is why I am in such bad
term to-day.’
“The caddy replied, calmly:
" ‘Then ye've played before, have
ye sir?’ ”

DIAMOND DEALER’S MISTAKE
One of His Own Gems, But He
Failed to Recognize the
Sparkler.
“Will you please examine this dia
mond,” said a man who had stepped
into a jeweler's shop, “and tell me !
what you think of it? If it is a good
stone, I think I will buy it.”
The jeweler took the gem, which
was unset, and looked at it critically
for a moment. Then in a confidential
tone he said:
“Well, to tell you the truth, that
isn't a very good stone. It hasn’t much
fire, it is badly cut, and there is some
thing here very much like a Haw.”
Then he held the diamond under a mi
croscope and examined it carefully,
finally observing: “No, it isn’t exactly
a flaw, but I shouldn't call it a per
peet stone. Now, if you want some
thing really fine, here—”
“Excuse me,” the other man inter
rupted. “I don’t think I’ll buy a dia
mond to-day. This is a diamond that
one of your assistants let me t tke Sat
urday on approval. I deposited $40 on
It. Please let me have my money,
and we will declare the deal off.”
TORTURED WITH ECZEMA.
Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body
—Scratched Until Bled—Wonder
ful Cure by Cuticura.
“Last year 1 suffered with a tremendous
itching on my back, which grew worse and
worse, until it spread over the whole body,
and only my face and hands were free.
For four months or so I .suffered torments,
and l had to scratch, scratch, scratch, until
I bled. At night when 1 went to bed
things got worse, and 1 had at times
to get up and scratch my body all over,
until I was as sore as could be, and until
1 suffered excruciating pains. They told
me that 1 was suffering from eczema.
Then I made up my mind that I would use
the Cuticura Remedies. 1 used them ac
cording to instructions, and very soon in
deed 1 was greatly relieved. I continued
until well, and now 1 am ready to recom
mend the Cuticura Remedies to any one.

CONCERNING CLOCKS.
Never allow the clock to run down.
It responds to regular attention just
as surely as a human being does and
keeps its course truly when made to
follow its endless routine.
The hands of a clock should always
be turned forward. To set the hands
by reversing the right-hand motion is
to loosen delicate screws that hold
them within reach of various cog
slips.
Never allow the clock to be moved
from the position where it is well bal
anced. A deviation of two or three
minutes a day from the correct time
may„ be the result of an uneven
placing of the clock, and once it is
properly adjusted it should not be
shifted for dusting or for artistic pur
poses. This is especially true of
clocks that have a pedulum.
Good for All Seasons.
Summer is here, and at last the great
Southern Staple is beginning to grow a
little. Whether there should be a very
large crop raised or not, prosperous times
are promised for a short crop of cotton
always commands a very high price. This
condition warrants all in keeping their
property well insured. A policy in The
Mississippi Home Insurance Company,
which lias stood all tests for 21 years, is a
mighty good thing to have all the year
round. Ask for the agent in your town.
No Trick at All.

Many men think themselves self
made who are really marriage-made.
The man who avoids matrimony on
account of the cares of wedded life
rivals the wiseacre who secured him
self against corns by having his legs
amputated.
Don’t marry for beauty alone. Soc
rates called beauty ”a short-lived tyr
anny,” and Theophrastus pronounced
it "a silent cheat.” The man who
marries for beauty alone is as silly
as the man who would buy a house be
cause it had fine flowers in the front
garden.
It is in life as It is with a kite; it
will not fly very high until it has a
string tying it down. And so the man
who is tied down by half a dozen re

the bachelor who, having nothing to
keep him steady, is always floundering
