depend on them exclusively for food,

HERITAGE OF CIVIL WAR
Thousands of Soldiers Contracted
Chronic Kidney Trouble While
in the Service.
The experience of Capt. John L. Ely,
of Co. E, 17th Ohio, now living at 500
East Second street, Newton, Kansas
will interest the thou
sands of veterans
who came back from
the Civil War suffer
ing tortures with kid
ney complaint. Capt.
Ely says: “I contracted
kidney trouble dur
ing the Civil War,
and the occasional
attacks finally de
veloped into a chronic case. At one
time I had to use a crutch and cane
to get about. My back was lame and
weak, and besides the aching, there
was a distressing retention of the
kidney secretions. I was in a bad
way when I began using Doan’s Kid
ney Pills in 1901, but the remedy
cured me, and I have been well ever
since.”

THIEVING SQUIRREL DRIVEN OFF
Robins Successfully Defend Nest
Against Marauder.
A pair of robins proved too much
for a marauding squirrel in Independ
ence square yesterday. While on a
midair cruise he suddenly stopped as
though something special had attract
ed his attention, and then he came
down the tree in a slow, unconcerned
manner. The secret was out when
he shyly began the ascent of another
oak, in the branches of which a pair
of the redbreasts had built their nest.
His little eyes glistening and his
whole manner that of a thief, he
moved up the tree trunk, and had al
most reached the little blue eggs in
the nest when the mother bird and
her mate saw him and flew- down from
their upper perch. They were on Mr.
Squirrel in an instant, and the fur
flew when their beaks got into action.
The retreat of the squirrel was quick
ly effected. The watchers were
amused. Then a second time the rob
ber advanced, and was so successful
as to get one of the eggs in his paw's
before the birds came to the rescue.
The squirrel was nonplussed, as he
couldn’t back down with the egg with
the birds pecking him. and he was
loath to relinquish his hard-won prize.
His hesitation .w’as fatal, though, as
the birds, with a concerted rush, fair
ly shoved him out of the nest, and the
robins followed him so quickly and
furiously that the egg was dropped
and smashed on the ground. The
squirrel then gave up his purloining
expedition.—Philadelphia Record.
A WINNING START,
A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes
Nerve Force for the Day.
Everything goes wrong if the break
fast lies in your stomach like a mud
pie. What you eat does harm if you
can't digest it—it turns to poison.
A bright lady teacher found this to
be true, even of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says:
“Two years ago I contracted a very
annoying form of indigestion. My
stomach was in such a condition that
a simple breakfast of fruit, toast and
egg gave me great distress.
“I was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such a simple diet
but finally had to give it up, and
found a great change upon a cup of
hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with
cream, for my morning meal. For
more than a year I have held to this
course and have not suffered except
when injudiciously varying my diet.
“I have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digested
breakfast means a saving of nervous
force for the entire day. My gain of
ten pounds in weight also causes me
to want to testify to the value of
Grape-Nuts.
“Grape-Nuts holds first rank at our
table.”

WORK Als/D WORRY COMPARED.
The Former a Blessing, the Last a
Veritable Destroyer.
Work means exercise, movement,
latent energy set free, and lienee it
means life and health to the tissues
and renewed vigor to the organs; also
as it strengthens the body and in
creases its physical powers of resist
ance it strengthens the will, teaching
patience, perseverance and fortitude;
and with the hope of future success is
born the courage to persevere.
It is not the bedmaking, dishwash
ing, sweeping, cooking, or laundry
work that wears you out. for these
homely duties of the housekeeper are
most wholesome ones, and the regular
bodily exercise—varied as it is—that
such work inevitably carries with it
conducive to health and •strength, not
sickness and death.
No, it is not your work that is kill
ing you; you are no worse off physical
ly for having to do without a servant;
and, indeed, you not only need not be
worse off, but would be actually better
off if you but willed it so, for it is the
way you take your work, the fact of
your allowing your work to fret and
worry you, and not the work itself
that wears upon your nerves and tem
per, robs you of your self-control,
ruins in a short, time your disposition,
and eventually your health itself, de
clares Mine. Hebe, in the Chicago Jn
ter-Ocean. If only I could help all you
dear •'homemakers” to see this and
realize the actual physical benefit that
may be derived from your daily work
if you but approach the same with a
new spirit—a spirit to do and do
heartily each homely duty as it comes
to hand—I should feel that I had in
deed accomplished some good in this
beautiful world of ours.
Worry brings gray hairs and
wrinkles, ugly frowns, and soured tem
pers: but work brings health and sun
shine, good digestion, and real enjoy
ment of the good things of this life.
Worry can take all the pleasure out
of daily duties and do more harm to
the tissues and organs than many
hours of gymnastic training or spe
cial massage can cure; but work gives
them wholesome exercise and makes
the body strong in all ways.
Work, mated with worry, however,
makes a sorry team indeed, and the
unhappy victim who rides behind such
a pair is to be pitied.
A KNITTED HOOD FOR THE BABY
Full Directions for Making a Pretty
Pink and White Hood.
I'se two skeins of pink, one skein
of cream white Dresden Saxony yarn,
One set of No. 16 steel needles, two
yards of No. 7 ribbon.
Begin the hood at the back, using
pink yarn.
Ca«t on 18 stitches.
1st row—Four purl, 2 plain, 4 purl,
2 plain, repeat to the end of the
needle.
2d row—Reverse the stitches of first
needle.
3d row—One purl (*) 2 plain, 4 purl,
repeat from (*)
4th row—Reverse the stitches of
third needle.
5th row—Repeat from first needle.
Knit 18 rows, following the pat
tern. In the next 20 rows, increase 1
stitch in each end of needle every
other row.
Knit 34 more rows.
Then decrease the same as you
have increased (10 times at each end
of needle every other row). Take up
the sides and add to the 18 stitches
on the needle. Knit 64 needles.
Take 32 stitches on a separate
needle and knit them back and forth,
taking 1 stitch in every row from the
side needle to the 32 already on the
needle, until there are 48 stitches left
on each side of the needle. Knit two
rows across, bind off.
Take up all the stitches around the
front of the hood and knit 34 plain
rows, bind off. Finish with strings of
ribbon, headed by rosettes, to tie.—
Boston Budget.
Porch P.ugs.
In the large rugs to be used in the
center of a room on a hardwood floor
or on a porch where a room is fitted
out on it, the large Shakis are most
serviceable and are particularly ef
fective, for they come in such pretty
browns, greens, tans, with just a sug
gestion of color in the body made by
the introduction of conventionalized
Indian arrows, a combination of deli
cate reds, pinks, greens, oranges, etc.
Across either end they are finished
with a border in tones to match the
colors in the arrows and in a white
fringe. These rugs are reversible
and the colors are all fast, and for
that reason they will be found par
ticularly satisfactory for use on a
porch or where they are constantly ex
posed to the rain and sun.
Doilies.
The round doilies, made of left over
bits of linen or table damask, and fin
ished quite simply with a scallop, have
lost none of their popularity. But var
iations of the original theme are being
developed from time to time. Dotted
damask—the good old staple kind
which is in use for tablecloths and
napkins in nine out of ten houses—
makes the newest of them. Both the
squares and dots are used, but usually
only the smallest size of either. The
scallop is embroidered heavily and
sometimes a smaller circle described
inside, a couple of inches away from
the edge, the scallop reversed, so that
the firm edge comes nearer the center.
Quaint and Pretty.
Old-fashioned armchairs may be
brought right up to date by covering
them, arms and all, with pretty flow
ered chintz, cretonne or denim in
brown, green or dark red.
PECULIAR M vANS OF DEFENSE
Small Daggers of Light Sent Out by
the Centipede.
Among the peculiar powers of ani
mals there are none harder to explain
than the power of being self-luminous.
It is sometimes termed phosphores
cence, but it is not now supposed to
depend \ipon phosphorus in the ani
mal. A correspondent of Nature de
scribes her experience with a lumi
nous centipede which shows the evi
dent purpose of the luminous sub
stance as a means of defense. Atten
tion was first attracted by a light of
brilliant bluish-green that moved for
ward over the gravel, leaving behind
a trail of light, which, gradually sep
arating, became a scattered mass of
brilliant points. The scattered pouts
proved to be red ants, which were pur
suing the centipede. It had discharged
this luminous liquid over them. The
centipede was picked up and put in
a tumbler where it flashed out a
mass of light. When the hand was
placed over the tumbler to prevent
the escape of the captive, a strange
prickly sensation was felt as from a
slight charge of electricity. The cen
tipede would writhe the light out of its
body in blue-green flashes until it had
exhausted its luminosity and ceased
to shine. Defense seems certainly to
be one of the uses of this secretion.
BIG NEW SHOE BUILDING.
It Is Dedicated by the W. L. Douglas
Co. at Brockton.
The dedication a short time ago of
the new administration and jobbing
house building erected by the W. L.
Douglas Shoe Co. as a part of its mam
moth manufacturing plant at Montello
was marked by the thoroughness and
attention to detail characteristic of the
firm in ail its undertakings.
The dedicatory program included
open house from 11 a. m. to S p. m.
with concert by the Mace Gay orches
tra and the presence of a Boston
caterer to attend to the wishes of all.
The building itself afforded a feast
for the eye, especially the offices,
which are marvels in many ways.
Fifteen thousand invitations were sent
out, including over 11,000 to the re
tail dealers in the United States who
handle the W. L. Douglas Co. shoes,
the others going to shoe manufactur
ers and all allied industries in Brock
ton and vicinity. Mr. Douglas will be
glad to have anybody who is interest
ed call and inspect the new plant, and
says “the latch string is always out.”
All departments of the plant were
open for inspection, the three factories
as well as the new building, and vis
itors were received and escorted
through the industrial maze by ex
Gov. Douglas, assisted by the heads
of the various departments.
Under the present system all shoes
are manufactured to order, and cus
tomers sometimes lose sales waiting
for shoes to arrive. With the new
jobbing house they will be enabled to
have their hurry orders shipped the
same day they are received.
The new building is 260 feet long
and 60 feet wide and two stories in
height. The jobbing department will
occupy the entire lower floor, while the
offices will occupy the second floor.
The jobbing department will carry a
complete stock of men’s, boys’, youths’,
misses’ and children’s shoes, slippers,
rubbers and findings equal to any job
bing house in the country. Buyers are
especially invited to come here to
trade, and every effort possible will he
made to suit their convenience. There
will be a finely appointed sample room
on the second floor, with an office in
which both telephone and telegraph
will be installed, with operators, both
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
wires to be used. There will also be
arrangements for the receipt and des
patch of mail.
World’s Cotton Consumption.
The consumption of cotton from
1893 to 1898 averaged only 9,000,000
bales annually in the whole world, but
from 1898 to 1903 the average was 10,
684,146 bales annually, and the aver
age price was three cents per pound
greater than for the previous period.
If the consumption increases at the
same ratio during the next five year
period the average will be nearly 13,
000,000 bale^ annually, and the prices
will be much higher than in the pre
vious period. This indicates a pros
perous future for the cotton producer
and manufacturer, as well as for the
export trade.

anteed to cure any one case.
