WORN TO A SKELETON
A Wonderful Restoration Caused 9
Sensation in a Pennsylvania
Town.
Mrs. Charles N. Preston, of Elkland,
Pa., says: “Three years ago 1 found
that my housework
was becoming a bur
den. 1 tired easily,
had no ambition and
was fading fast. My
complexion got yel
low and I lost over
50 pounds. My thirst
was terrible, and
there was sugar in
the kidney secretions.
My doctor kept me on a strict diet, but
as his medicine was not helping me,
1 began using Doan's Kidney Pills.
They helped me at once, and soon all
traces of sugar disappeared. I have
regained my former weight and am
perfectly well.”

NO KISSING IN CHURCH.
Cslician Peasants Punished for Un
timely Osculation.
Twenty Ruthenian peasants belong
ing to lspas. in Galicia, have been sen
tenced to various terms of imprison
ment, from a week to a month, for
kissing each other in church.
A feud has arisen between two par
ties in the town, and the priest
preached a sermon in which he urged
the peasants to make friends before
they came to church again. They
took him at his word, and on the fol
lowing Sunday the two hostile parties
marched up the church side by side,
and kissed the altar. Then they sol
emnly shook hands and kissed one an
other on both cheeks in the Polish
(ashion to seal the reconciliation.
The kissing scene excited loud
laughter among the members of the
congregation, and the priest prosecut
ed the peasants for unseemly conduct
in church. The court held that a
church is no place for kissing and
found the peasants guilty.
ITCHING RASH 18 YEARS.
Girl’s Rash Spread and Grew Worse
Under Specialist’s Care—Perfect
Cure by Cuticura Remedies.
“When my daughter was a baby she
had a breaking cut behind the ears.
The doctor said that she would out
grow it. and it did get somewhat bet
ter until she was about fifteen years
old, and after that she could get noth
ing that would drive it away. She was
always applying something in the way
of salves. It troubled her behind the
knees, opposite the elbows, back of
the neck and ears, under the chin, and
then it got on the face. That was
about three years ago. She took treat
ment with a specialist and seemed to
get worse all the time. We were then
advised to try the Cuticura Remedies,
and now I don't see any breaking out.

Yale University Wealthy.
Accordng to the Yale Alumni Week
ly, the property of the university in
New Haven which is exempted from
taxation, is appraised at $9.421.1 DO. an
increase of $255,000 over the apprais
ed tax exemptions of last year, though
this increase does not necessarily rep
resent actual additional values sub
tracted from the New Haven grand
list. Of the total exemptions about
$1,270,000 belongs to the Sheffield Sci
entific School. The old campus, as
land, is valued at $1,033,400, and the
buildings on this campus at $2,483,500
The appraisals are high on many of
the buildings, as compared to actual
cost. Tlie valuations are placed, and
as they are exemptions there has
been no occasion to appeal for their
.reduction.
Desert Lands Made Fertile.
According to official figures, since
the reclamation law was enacted by
congress in 1902. eight towns have
been built and 10.000 people have set
tled on what were desert lands. One
hundred miles of branch railways
have been built, 1.267 miles of canals
have been dug, many of which cany
whole rivers, and 47 tunnels have
been excavated. It is estimated that
the territory embraced in what is
known as the arid regions of the I’nit
ed States covers 600,000.000 acres, of
which about 60,000,000 acres are sub
ject to irrigation and can be converted
into farms as productive as lauds in
the most favored sections.
FIT THE GROCER
Wife Made the Suggestion.
A grocer has excellent opportunity
to know the effects of special foods on
his customers. A Cleveland grocer
has a long list of customers that have
been helped in health by leaving off
coffee and using Postum Food Coffee.
He says, regarding his own expe
rience: "Two years ago I had been
drinking coffee and must say that I
was almost wrecked in my nerves.
"Particularly in the morning I was
so irritable and upset that I could
hardly wait until the coffee was
served, and then I had no appetite for
breakfast and did not feel like attend
ing to my store duties.
"One day my wife suggested that
inasmuch as 1 was selling so much
Postum there must be some merit in
it and suggested that we try it. I took
home a package and she prepared it
according to directions. The result
was a very happy one. My nervous
ness gradually disappeared and to-day
I am all right. I would advise every
one affected in any way with nervous
ness or stomach troubles, to leave off
coffee and use Postum Food Coffee.’’ J

Don’t Poison Baby.
pORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have
■ PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce
sleep, and A PEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH
THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or
whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each
of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling
either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling
them “ poison.” The definition of “ narcotic ” is: “A medicine which relieves pain
and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convul -
sions and death. ” The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised?
and sold under the names of “Drops,” “Cordials,” “Soothing Syrups,” etc. You
should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or
your physician know of what it is composed. CASTORIA DOES NOT CON

The following is taken from a hand
bill issued by a provincial bootmaker:
'"The shoemaker is a man of great
learning. He is a doctor as well as a
surgeon, for he not only heels but
performs many cutting operations. He
