ADVICE TO VICTIMS
TELLS READERS HOW TO CURE
RHEUMATISM AT HOME.
Directions to Mix a Simple Prepara*
tion and the Dose to Take—Over
comes Kidney and Bladder
Trouble Promptly.
There is so much Rheumatism every
where that the following advice by an
eminent authority, who writes for read
ers of a large Eastern daily paper, will
be highly appreciated by those who
suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa
rilla. Shake these well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime; also drink plenty
of good water.
It is claimed that there are few vic
tims of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple home-made mixture, and
in most cases a permanent cure is the
result.
This simple recipe is said to strength
en and cleanse the eliminative tissues
of the Kidneys so that they can filter
and strain from the blood and system
the poisons, acids and waste matter,
which cause not only Rheumatism, but
numerous other diseases. Every man
or woman here who feels that their
kidneys are not healthy and active, or
who suffers from any urinary trouble
whatever, should not hesitate to make
up this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good, and may save you from
much misery and suffering after while.
BIRDS TRAVEL ALONG ROUTES.
All Have Not Same Range—Swallows'
Great Distance.
The routes by which birds pass to
and from one country to another in
spring and autumn are regularly fol
lowed. One great thoroughfare, of
course, is in the spring from south to
north, and conversely in the autumn
from north to south; another is south
east to northwest; a third southwest
to northeast, with the return into the
same starting points, says the Scot
man.
The great southern wintering region
is south of the north of Africa and
extends to far beyond the equator,
and from it, under the breeding in
stinct in spring, birds hurry away to
disperse themselves over the wide
spreading palaearctic or northern
lands, which extend as far, in the
case of some species, as a long way
within the arctic circle. South of the
equator during the northern winter
the migrants fly toward the south pole
to breed. The seasonal range limit
of some of the northern breeding
birds is enormous—several extending
from Patagonia to Greenland.
All migratory birds have not the
same range; some fly longer, some
shorter, distances. The best known
of all the birds of passage, the swal
low has one of the longest ranges—
from 7,000 to 10,000 miles. In this
extended range are also included such
birds as the gray plover, the knot, the
pectoral and curlew sandpipers and
the Asiatic golden plover.
The longer range—from 6.000 to
7.000 miles—includes such well-known
birds as the cuckoo, the corncrake,
the sedge w^arbler, the greenshank;
the moderate range—from 3.000 to
5.000 miles—embraces the turtle dove,
the crane, lapwing, mallard and jack
snipe; the third range—from 1,000 to
2.000 miles—such birds as the wood
chat shrike, the stone curlew, the
woodcock and black tern and in what
is called the restricted area—with a
mileage of 1,000 miles downward—
there are the waxwings, several gulls
and the eider duck.

TAKE THEM OUT
Or Feed Them Food They Can
Study On.
\Vhen a student begins to break
down from lack of the right kind of
food, there are only two things to do;
either take him out of school or feed
him properly on food that will rebuild
the brain and nerve cells. That food
is Grape-Nuts.
A boy writes from Jamestown. N. Y.,
saying: “A short time ago I got into
a bad condition from overstudy, but
Mother having heard about Grape
Nuts food began to feed me on it. It
satisfied my hunger better than any
other food, and the results were mar
velous. I got fleshy like a good fel
low. My usual morning headaches
disappeared, and I found I could study
for a long period without feeling the
effects of it.
“My face was pale and thin, but is
now round and has considerable color.
After I had been using Grape-Nuts for
about two months I felt like a new
boy altogether. I have gained greatly
in strength as well as flesh, and it is
a pleasure to study now that I am
not bothered with my head. I passed
all of my examinations with a reason
ably good percentage, extra good in
some of them, and it is Grape-Nuts
that has saved me from a year's delay
in entering college.
“Father and mother have both been
improved by the use of Grape-Nuts.
Mother was troubled with sleepless
nights and got very thin, and looked
care worn. She has gained her nor
mal strength and looks, and sleeps
well nights.” “There's a Reason.’

WILL MAKE POLAR DASH.
Ice Pack and Canvas Boats to Be Used
in Trip Northward.
Gloucester, Mass.-—The former fish
ing schooner, John R. Bradley, which
took Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the Brook
lyn explorer, to Etah, from whence he
is to make a dash for the pole, is at
anchor in the harbor here.
Capt. Moses Bartlett, her command
er, who was with Peary in the Roose
velt, says that Cook accompanied John
R. Bradley, the owner of the schooner,
ostensibly upon a hunting trip and un
til their arrival at Etah he had not
announced his intention of trying for
the pole to anyone. He took only one
man from the Bradley, Rudolph Frank
eron, a cook. His plan is to stay in
Etah until December or until the ice
pack becomes well hardened, then
dash along the pack. When open
water is met he will cross it in two
canvas boats. Capt. Bartlett says
that had Peary had these boats he
would have succeeded in his attempt.
Dr. Cook will take only a few Es
kimos and dogs and will relay them in
stations all the way. He will take
substantially the same route as Peary,
it was found that the Eskimos had
rifled Peary’s food caches and even
overturned his boats. Mr. Bradley
left Dr. Cook a supply for 18 months.
Dr. Cook from Etah has about 1,000
miles to cover. He must return by
the same route—across Smith sound
overland S4 degrees, then over the
ice pack and sea.
The attempt will not be a costly
one. Dr. Cook was a guest on Mr.
Bradley's trip and the expenses of
the Eskimos and dogs will not be ex
cessive.
WOMAN LIVES YEARS IN A TENT.
Consumptive Recovers by Keeping
Outdoors for Long Time.
Boonville, Ind.—That the best relief
and cure for the white plague are in
fresh air, nutritious food and hygienic
measures is shown by a cure in Rock
port. Mrs. W. A. Fee, of that city,
had tuberculosis several years, and a
year ago could hardly get around( her
home.
Secretary fturty, of the board of
health of Indiana, sent out a set of
rules which were intended to be
placed in the hands of the afflicted,
and contained the latest methods as
to how to combat the malady. Among
the most important of these rules is
the injunction to have as much fresh
air as possible when sleeping, advo
cating sleeping out of doors in a tent,
or other structure where the patient
would get nothing but fresh air.
A large tent was placed in her yard
near the house. A floor was placed in
it and a stove arranged so that it
could be heated, but at the same time
there was opportunity for plenty of
fresh air to get into the tent around
the walls. Her husband assisted her
to keep open air home, for she was
not able to w^alk that short distance
at that time. They slept in the tent
all through last winter, and are still
sleeping there.
From the beginning Mrs. Fee began
to show signs of improvement until
she is now almost well.
SUN DIAL FOR UNIVERSITY.
Is Copy of Famous Instrument at Ox
ford University.
Princeton, N. J.—Princeton univer
sity is having erected a new sun dial,
which will stand directly north of the
new McCosh recitation hall, recently
completed. It will be designed after
the copy of the famous Turnbull sun
dial at Corpus Christi college, Oxford,
and will be finished in about two
weeks, but will not be unveiled until
early in November.
Sir William Mather, M. P., the don
or of the sun dial, is a prominent fig
ure in educational work. The original
sun dial was given Corpus Christi
college by Charles Turnbull in 1605.
It consists of a stone column 18 inches
in diameter and 9 feet high, resting on
a square base. This column is sur
mounted by a square stone, on the
four sides of which are carved the ar
morial bearings of the University of
Oxford, King Henry VII., the founder
of the college, and Hugh Aldam, who
is closely associated with the begin
nings of Corpus Christi.
On top of this stone is a large ball,
on which is perched a pelican, the em
blem of Cardinal Wolsey. The Prince
ton dial, which is an exact copy, will
be placed on a series of bases, the
lowest one being 14 feet square. When
completed the dial will be over 24 feet
high.
WOMAN HAS HORN ON HEAD.
Peculiar Appendage, Measuring Five
Inches Long, Removed by Physician.
Hamilton, O.—An extraordinary
and fully authenticated medical case
has developed at Gratis, a village in
Preble county, ten miles from Hamil
ton. It is reported by Dr. R. C. Law
rence and subsantiated by several
Hamilton doctors.
A woman 55 years old in the vil
lage developed a horn on her fore
head. It grew to the length of two
Inches and wan attached to the skull.
Some two years ago she struck a door
aad broke one inch from the bony
growth. It again developed more rap
idly than before and attained a length
in diameter at the base and tapered
to a point.
Dr. Lawrence recently sawed ofl
the entire horn, which in every way
resembles a ram s horn. He confirms
the statement in all details, and has
exhibited the growth to many Hamil
ton physicians, who pronounce it a
genuine horn. The woman's general
health is not a-lected.
BACK GAVE OUT.
A Typical ';ase of Kidney Trouble and
a Typical Cure.
Mrs. Chloe Page of 510 S. Pitt
Street, Alexandria, Va., says: “My
back hurt me ter
ribly, I had sharp,
shooting pains,
changing to a dull,
dragging ache. I
could not stand for
any length of time
and my back hurt
me when I sat down.
My feet and ankles
were badly swollen
every evening, and
my stomach was out
of order. Doan’s Kidney Pills cured
me of these troubles in 1902, and for
five years I have had no return.’’

THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS.
Recent Attempts to Tabulate the
Beasts That Perish.
Every now and then some natural
ist endeavors to make an approximate
numerical count of known animal
species. This kind of attempt is sure
ly not without interest, but it must be
acknowledged that its results are very
uncertain. We are far from knowing
all species, and there is yet a delight
ful prospect ahead for those who love
systematic zoology and for zoologists
who bestow mutual honors by giving
each other's names to some animal
hitherto unknown.
As Nurmann remarked to a recent
meeting of naturalists at the museum,
to which he presented his “Catalogues
Mammalium,” the species of rodents
known in 1880 were only 970 in num
ber; now they are 1,900. The num
ber has thus, at least, doubled in 27
years. The number of living species
of this creature now known is about
1,500, divided among 160 genera. This
family is the most numerous of the
class of mammalia.—Wissen fur Alle.
BABY IN TERRIBLE STATE,
Awful Humor Eating Away Face—
Body a Mass of Seres—Cuticura
Cures in Two Weeks.
“My little daughter broke out all
over her body with a humor, and we
used everything recommended, but
v/ithout results. I called in three doc
tors, but she continued to grow worse.
Her body was a mass of sores, and her
little face was being eaten away. Her
ears looked as if they would drop off.
Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, and before I had
used half of the cake of Soap and box
of Ointment the sores had all healed,
and my little one's face and body were
as clear as a new-born babe’s. I -would
not be without it again if it cost five
dollars, instead of seventy-five cents.

Every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment ,„4
strength. When this life stream is flowing tliraugh the system in a stat f
purity and richness we are assured of perfect and uninterrupted health
because pure blood is nature’s safe-guard against disease. When how v 1
the body is fed on weak, impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived^
its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in vari
ways. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affection!
show tha-t the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of t *
much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers a
the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism * C*
tarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood
disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains
These impurities and poisons find their way into the blood in various wavs'
Often a sluggish, inactive condition of the system, and torpid state of' the
avenues of bodily waste, leaves the refuse and waste matters to sour and
form uric and other acids, which are taken up by the blood and distributed
throughout the circulation. Coming in contact with contagious diseases is
another cause for the poisoning of the blood; we also breathe the germs and
microbes of Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood in
sufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Some
are so unfortunate as to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old
constitutional disease of ancestors is handed down to them and they are
constantly annoyed and troubled with it. Bad blood is the source of all dis
ease, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and purified the body is sure to
suffer in some way. For blood troubles of any character S. S. S. is the best
remedy ever discovered. It goes down into the circulation and removes any
and all poisons, supplies the healthful properties it needs, and compietely
and permanently cures blood diseases of
every kind. The action of S. S. S. is so
thorough that hereditary taints are removed
and weak, diseased blood made strong and
healthy so that disease cannot remain. It
cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Sores
PURELY VEGETABLE and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Contagious
Blood Poison, etc., and does not leave the
slightest trace of the trouble for future outbreaks. The whole volume of
blood is renewed and cleansed after a course of S. S. S. It is also nature's
greatest tonic, made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, and is absolutely
harmless to any part of the system. S. S. S. is for sale at all first class
drug stores. Book on the blood and any medical advice free to all who write.

Blood-letting was the old-fashioned method of treating fevers. To a certain ex
tent, this helped, because fever is caused by poison in the blood, and taking away the
infected blood probably weakened the effects of the poison.
Today, we prescribe a gentle cathartic, bowel and liver cleanser—
THEDFORD’S
BLACK-DRAUGHT
—and obtain the purifying results, without the weakening effect of blood-letting. Mrs.
G. Nussbaum, of 708 Felicity St., New Orleans, La., writes: “When 1 had the yellow
