HARDSHIPS OF ARMY LIFE.
4-eft Thousands of Veterans with Kid
ney Troubles.
The experience of David W. Martin,
A retired merchant of Bolivar, Mo., is
just like thous
ands of others.
Mr. Martin says:
“I think I have
had kidney dis
ease ever since
•the war. During
an engagement
my horse fell on
me, straining my
back and injuring
the kidneys. I have been told I had a
floating kidney. I had intense pain in
the back, headaches and dizzy spells
and the action of the bladder was very
irregular. About three years ago I
tried Doan’s Kidney Pills, and found
such great relief that I continued, and
inside a comparatively short time was
entirely rid of kidney trouble.”

Hardly What He Wanted.
Albert Douglas, who will succeed
Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio in the
aext house, is not weighted down with
worldly goods, and was rather startled
by an experience he had while looking
around Washington for quarters. At
one of the good hotels he was shown
a suite consisting of bedroom, parlor
and bathroom. On inquiring the
monthly rent he was informed "only
$1,000 for yourself and wife.” Recov
ering his breath, whicli he managed to
do without showing a tithe of his as
tonishment. he said with great calm
ness, ‘Til write my wife all about the
rooms and let her know beforehand
what comforts we shall have when we
come here to live. So until 1 hear
from her you need not mark me for
this suite. She may think from the
price that your hotel is not the kind
we ought to live in.”
THIS IS WORTH SAVING.

Germany'^ Beet Sugar.
The production of beet sugar in the
German empire in 1906 is estimated
by the International Sugar Statistical
association to be 2,157,200 metric tons
(2,204.6 pounds each), against 2,394.
445 metric tons in 1905, a loss of
nearly ten per cent. Austria-Hungary’s
beet sugar crop is 11 per cent, short.

It may not cure all your ills, but
it does cure one of the worst. It

Pure White Lead
is the Natural
Paint Pigment
Numerous
compou u d s
are being
offered to take
the place of
white lead as
a paint, but no
real substitute
for it has yet
been found.
Pure White
Lead has a
peculiar
property of
amalgamating
with the wood
upon which it is used—added to this
it has an elasticity which permits the
paint to follow the natural expansion
and contraction of the wood. Pure
White Lead (with its full natural te
nacity and elasticity, unimpaired by
adulterants), alone fulfills all the re
quirements of the ideal paint. Every
keg which bears the Dutch Boy trade
mark is positively guaranteed to be ab
solutely Pure
White Lead
made by the Old
Dutch Process.

DECLINE IN RATES
FREIGHT AND PASSENGER RATES
IN UNITED SPATES HAVE DE
CLINED NEARLY 20 PER CENT
IN SIXTEEN YEARS.
Washington, Feb.—Senator Elkins
of West Virginia has just completed
and filed in the Senate his minority
report on the railroad rate law. The
report was officially submitted dune
28 last, but immediately withdrawn for
further elaboration.
It now presents a comprehensive his
tory of the economic development of
American railroads, together with ex
haustive tables which tend to show a
constantly decreasing freight and pas
senger rate and the relations between
such rates and the price of commodi
ties and cost of labor. As to the de
crease in rates the report says: “The
average passenger rate advanced
slightly from 1870 to 1880. During the
next 24 years there was a decline
amounting to 17.85 per cent of the av
erage for 1880. The net decline from
1870 to 1904 being ti.14 per cent." The
report says that the cost of trans
portation in 1904 was nearly $2,000,
000,000 less than it would have been
had the rates for 187u still prevailed.
The passenger business of 1904 ex
ceeded that of 1900 by more than 25
per cent, while the freight increase
was 13.26 per cent. In comparison with
the increase in wages of railroad em
ployes from an average wage of
$567,25 in 1900 to $030.80 in 1904, the
report says that the service in 1904
was so much more efficiently organiz
ed that ihe labor contributed by the
average employe accomplished 23 per
cent more in the movement of pas
sengers and 74 per cent more in the
movement of the freight than in 1884.
The report gives the total railroad
capitalization June 30, 1904, as $10,711,
791,078, and says this amount is 4.71
per cent less than the commercial
value of the railroads as estimated
by the census bureau.
“In face of the great improvement
in railroad property since 1890," the
report says, "the relatively insignifi
cant increase of 5.31 per cent in capi
talization shows a decided tendency to
wards more careful methods of financ
ing these properties.”
Compared with railroad rates
abroad, the report says that the "fig
ures in the foregoing are undoubtedly
significant. They show that the Amer
ican railroads carry freight for ratpsr
that average but 55.14 per cent of the
average charged in France; (12.30 per
cent of that in Germany; 00.32 per
of that in Austria; G1.29 in Hungary;
about 50 per cent of that in Italy
and about 90 in European Russia.
Since 1890 American rates have de
clined 19.15 per cent; French rates
13.64 per cent; German rates, 8.90;
Austrian 9.35 and Hungary 10.14."

AILING WOMEN
How Many Perfectly Well Women
Do You Know ?
'’A'O
MISS GRACE E. MILLER
MRS. wTsTfORD
“I am not feeling- very well,” “I
am so nervous it seems as though I
should fly.” “My back aches as though
it would break.”
How often do you hear these signi
ficant expressions from women
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
is a cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
E. Pinkhainof Lynn, Mass, discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. “Woman’s Ills,”
these two words are full of more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found in the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits, reluctance to
go anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
irregularities are the bane of woman's
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered a remedy. Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound made
from native roots and herbs holds
the record for a greater number of
absolute cures of female ills than any
other one remedy the world has ever
known and it is the greatest blessing
which ever came into the lives of
suffering women.
Don’t try to endure, but cure the
cause of all your suffering. Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at
once removes such troubles. The
following letters prove this :
Mrs. W. S. Ford of 1938 Lansdowne
St., Baltimore, Md. Writes :
Dear Mrs, Pinkhnm;—
‘ For four years uiy life was a misery to
me. 1 suffered from irregularities, sup
pression, terrible dragging sensations and
extreme nervousness. 1 had given up all
hope of ever being well again when Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was i
recommended. It cured my weakness and
made me well and strong.”
Miss Grace E. Miller, of 1213 Michi
gan St., Buffalo, N. Y. writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :—
“I was in a very bad condition of health
generally; irritable, cross, backache and
suffered from a feminine weakness. Lydia
E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, cured
me after ull other medicines had failed.”
What Lydia E. l’inkham’s Vege
table Compound did for Mrs. Ford and
Miss Miller it will do for other women
in like condition. Every suffering
woman in the United States is asked
to accept the following invitation. It
is free, will bring you health and may
save your life.
Mrs. Pinkham’s Invitation to Women.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. From the
symptoms given, the trouble may be
located and the quickest uDd surest
way of recovery advised. Out of her
vast volume of experience in treating
female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will
help your case. Her advice is free
and always helpful.
