KIDNEY TROUBLES OF WOMEN
Hiss Frederick' Letters Show How She
Relied on Mrs. Pinkhain and Wm
Cored.
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I have a'
yellow, muddy complexion, feel tired
ana nave Dearing town pains. Menses
have not appeared for three months ;
sometimes am troubled with a white
discharge. Also have kidney and blad
der trouble.
I have been this way for a long time,
and feel so miserable I thought I would
write to you and see if you could do me
any gooa. miss idna Frederick,
Troy, Ohio, Aug. 6, 1899.
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I have used
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound according to directions, and can
ay I have not felt so well for years as
I do at present. Before taking your
medicine a more miserable person you
never saw. I could not eat or sleep,
and did not care to talk with any one.
Now I feel so well I cannot be grateful
enough to you for what you have done
for me." Miss Edna Frederick, Troy,
Ohio, Sept. 10, 1899. I
Backache Cured
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I write to
thank you for the good Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound has done me.
It is the only medicine I have found
that helped me. I doctored with one
of the best physicians in the city of
New York, but received no benefit. I
had been ailing for about sixteen years,
was so weak and nervous that I "could
hardly walk ; had continued pain in my
Menses were irregular and painful.
Words cannot express the benefit 1 have
derived from the use of your medicine.
I heartily recommend it to all suffering
women." Mrs. Mary Bar8hi-ger,
Windsor, Pa.
Leaving No Sting.
Our manner of doing a thing often
counts for more than the thing itself.
Some people have the gift of doing a
gratious things ungratiously. They
eeem to think it of small moment how
they net, if they do the right thing.
Their gifts are felt like a blow. Oth
ers refuse with a kindness that falls
like a balm. The Italian who is asked
for alms, unable to help, replies:
"Pardon me, I also am a poor devil."
That leaves no hurt, while the open
hand of some others inflicts a sting.
"God cares more for adverbs than for
verbs, " says an old writer. Do the
rjglit thing, but do it rightly, courte
, nusly. sympathetically. S. S. Times.
' A Compnrigon.
From the official report of the Wash
ington police it is shown that while the
whole number of arrests in the Dis
trict, with a barroom for each 441 of
its population, was equal to one arrest
for every 11 of its population, the num
ber of arrests made in the First pre
cinct, with a barroom for every 118 of
its population, and in the Ninth pre
cinct, with a barroom for every 1,048
of its population, the arrests was only
one for every 18 of its population. A

Hon. W. V. Sullivan, United States

cently written to Dr. llartman from
Oxford, Mihs., says the following:
"For some time I have been a sufferer
from catarrh in its most incipient
stage, so much so that I became alarm
ed as to my general health. But, hear
ing of Pe-ru-u as a good remedy, I
gave it a fair trial and soon began to
improve. Its effects were distinctly
beneficial, removing the annoying
symptoms, and was particulaily good
as a tonic.
"I take pleasure in recommending
your great national catarrh cure, Pe-ru-na,
as the best I have ever tried."

ftOT WHAT THEY SEEM
BUTTERCUP'S MUSICAL STATE
MENT AMPLY CONFIRMED.
Adulteration of Food In This Country
and Europe Has Become So General
that an Absolutely Pure Article Is
Kxceedlnjjly Hard to Find.
How Important pure food Is to health
cannot be determined with a certitude
and had best be left to the imagination
and the pure foods advertisements.
There will be but few disputants of the
statement that there can be no overes
ti mat ion. That pure food is distress
fully and gradually and pes tive'y grow
ing less every year cannot be success
fully contended In argument Keen
commercial competition and the failure
of the supply to equalize the demand
for pure foods are responsible in a
measure for the debasement of that
which Is eaten for nourishment. Un
scrupulous persons with only an eye
for the profits are engaged in the adul
teration of food the world over. In the
United States we know that nearly all
that is fed upon is not what it is rep
resented to be, but there is no alterna
tive. Take that or take nothing seems
to be the ground hog case in which the
subsisting people find themselves.
But the United States is not the only
place where food adulteration is prac
ticed. Our consuls have hepn to snmt
pains to discover the counterfeiting of
food in Europe, and as much of that
which is counterfeited is disposed of In
this country we are the sharers In the
misery.
The Information tuatEu'ropean wines,
liquors and beer are villainously doc
tored, despite the careful governmental
control of the production, is not new.
So long as the aroma and stimulating
qualities are preserved the public does
not seem to care. The adulteration of
liquid food is as flagrant and upon the
same basis. If the counterfeit can be
made to please the taste and to satisfy
the eye and the olfactory organs the
consumers do not seem to raise any
particular objection to the deception
that is practiced.
Chocolate and cocoa are favorite
beverages in this country and received
from Europe, where there is said to
exist splendid plants for skillful adul
teration. The ingredients that are con
sumed disguised as' chocolate and cocoa
are mutton tallow, the cheapest grades
of sugar, shells of the cocoa bean, po
tato meal and sawdust, to which very
Inviting mixture has been added ochres
containing the proper colors.
One of our consuls says: "If all of
the substances that pass through a
coffee-grinding machine during the
year should be written in alphabetical
order, A would beglu the list with
acorns and W would end it with worm
wood, sprouts of which are sometimes
used to give the debased coffee a slight
aromatic, bitter taste." There is no
concern as to the effect of this hetero
geneous mass upon the coffee-grinding
machines. They are able to stand it
without protest. In Europe they do not
produce coffee by the primitive methods
of coaxing and cultivating the soil to
produce it for them. There factories
are built and with modern machinery
an admixture of tanbark, stove rust,
clay, sawdust, chicory, coffee sedi
ments and some agglutinant is molded
Into coffee beans of deceptive flavor and
destructive elements, and produced in
Bueu quantities as assures the mainte
nance of equilibrium between supply
and demand.
The debasement of tea Is another
flourishing Industry. Most any old kind
of leaves except tea leaves will do and
partly because they are easily obtained
and partly because the trick can be
more successfully worked with linden,
Bage and berry leaves they are the fa
vorite ones used for substitution.
It would be heartless to continue nil
through the lists of the solid foods and
the ninny and mysterious things of
which they are composed. The liquids
are sufficient, but before disposing of
the liquids attention Is called to the di
lution of milk with water and the con
cealment of the deceptiou by adding
soap. They have pure food laws In
Europe, too, but exclusively for orna
mental purposes. Cincinnati Times
Star. PEAT IN CANADA'S BOGS.
Prepared in Various Ways and Used ac,
I Fuel at Slight Cost.
I The best authorities sny there are
100,000 acres of undeveloped peat bog
In Ontario, principally in the counties
of Perth, Welland and Essex. The
I largest area lies in the county of Terth,
eight miles north of the city of Strat
ford, on the Grand Trunk Railway.
Here Is a swamp of 40,000 acres, with
a depth of peat bog that varies from
a foot to twenty feet.
The process of manufacture is as fol
lows: The peat Is cut and air dried,
after which it is pulverized by being
passed through a picker, and automat
ically deposited In a hopper, which
feeds a stel tube about two Inches In
diameter and fifteen inches long. The
jpulverlzed pent la forced through this
tube by pressure and formed Into cyl
indrical blocks three Inches In length
and almost equal In density to anthxa-
ctte coat The fuel Is non-friable and
weather-proof by reason of its solidity
and the extreme glaze Imparted to it
by frictlonal contact with forming dies.
The inherent moisture of the peat is
reduced to 12 per cent of the mass. In
weight It compares with coal as fol
lows: Eighty-three pounds per cubic
foot of peat equal seventy-three pounds
of bituminous or ninety-three pounds
of anthracite coal.
It Is claimed -for pent that It Is su
perior to coal hrits absolute freedom
from sulphur and . the absence of
smoke, soot, dust and clinkers during
consumption. In a great measure this
solves the problem of furnishing a
cheap, clean, uniform and reliable fuel
for all domestic purposes, as It Is equal
ly serviceable for grates, stoves, cook
ing ranges and furnaces, giving a long,
bright flame and Intense heat almost
from the moment of Ignition. It has
been tested in locomotives with excel
lent results, showing that the thermal
value of 100 pounds of ieat Is equal to
95.15 pounds of coal. It wns also tried
at the power house of the Metropolitan
street railway, Toronto, and gave great
satisfaction. The heat produced was
much greater than that of the coal, but
it was 8 per cent deficient In lasting
power. It requires but little draft and
burns best In a shallow firebox.
The machinery used In manufactur
ing p?at fuel is not expensive and re
quires but little attention when In op

A young lawyeivwith no practice rent
ed a modest office, hired a smart boy.
and waited for his clients. He waited
a long time, but one day the client
came. At any rate the door openel,
and a voice asked if the lawyer was in.
"James," said the young lawyer to
his office boy, "I wish you'd go to the
Kir.-t National Hank and tell them thnt
the amount of that draft should be fif
teen hundred and seventy-five dollars,
instead of fifteen hundred and twenlv-
flve dollars, nud before you return
drop Into Mr. Johnson's office nnd tell
him thnt I've collected thnt thirty-five
hundred dollnrs for him. While you a.e
there .step across the hnll nnd inform
Mr. Fogbnll thnt unless that note for
ten thousand dollars is paid in the
morning I shall begin foreclosure pro
ceedings. Hurry, now, James, as there
Is a great deal of work to do this morn
ing."
The well-trained boy wns going out,
when the prospective client said:
"This Is no place for me with a five
dollar claim to collect."
Then he lumbered down the stairs,
and the young lawyer said, wearily:
"You needn't go, James; I laid it on
too thick that time."
Haitian Conservatism.
The Hnltlnn is a fine example of con
servatism. A few years ago the town
of Port de Paix, owing to an unexpect
ed progressive spirit on the pait of the
government, constructed some fine wa
ter works. The town was well piped,
with hydrants at short distances on a 1
the streets. Decorative fountains were
placed in the squares, drinking places
for man and beast everywhere. The
unlives, as usual, took not the slightest
Interest in tills Important and neces
sary undertaking. At last, when com
pleted, in Accordance with the custom
of the country, the wnUr sy.teni was
opened with a series of feles. The
whole section of the country had a
hilnrious holiday bulls, processions,
cockfights, etc. When thee were all
over the natives came to the conclu
sion that the wnter works must have
been built to give an excuse for them,
and the water works were no longer of
nny service, so they promptly smashed
the whole system, nnd returned to
carting the city's watpr from the dis
tant river by ox teams. Now they tie
their animals to the hydrants, fall over
the fragments of the pipes scattered
round the streets, and are happy.
Colds itnri Bare Hand.
Many people marvel why they Buffer
bo frequently with cold In the hend.
The matter has puzzled even the om
niscient doctor, and his only explana
tion wag that some persona were con
stitutionally Inclined that way.
Investigation shows, however, that It
Is all due to the hands. No matter how
warmly yoti clothe the rest of the
body, you readily catch cold If you
leave the hands exposed.
The reason Is very simple after all.
Of course every one knows that the
blood and vessels contribute a sort
of hot water warming apparatus for
the body. As the hands are more ex
posed than other parts, they receive a
more liberal supply of the heating
fluid. But this blood Is Immediately
chilled and returned In an Icy state to
the lungs. Here It sets up Inflamma
tion, with the natural consequence of
congestion, which Is commonly calledj
cola, ir you take care to wear gloves
on any day that Is rather chilly, It Is
astonishing what a lot of colds you will
ward off.

An Exciting Run.
The following incident in Lord Wol-
feley's military carreer is recorded as
having taking place w hen he was in
his twenties, ami hail been in the Urit
ish army three years. He speaks of it
himself as the most exciting experience
of his life. It was in l?urina, and
Wolseley was in charge of a small de
tachment. During the advance He had
the bad luck to fall into a deep hole,
and when he crawled out found him
self on the enemy's side. As he
emerged he was met with such a show
er of bullets that he slid back in short
order. After a few minutes he came
out again, and, amid a vigorous volley,
rHn for his life. He was nearly 800
yards from the British line, and was
hit three times before he reached a
place of safety. Youth's Companion.
