Kushequa, Pa., Aug. 1. (Special) In this section oi Pennsylvania there is a growing belief that for such Kid ney Diseases as Rheumatism and Lame Back there is only one euie cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills. This be lief grows from such cases as that of Mrs. M. L. Davison of this place. She tells the story herself as follows: "I have suffered from Rheumatism for thirty years and find that Dodd's Kidney Pills have done me more good thn any medicine I have ever taken. I waa also tothered with Lame Back and I can only say that my back hasn't bothered me since I took Doud's Kid ney Pills." Considering that Mrs. Davison only took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, the result would be considered wonder ful were it not that others are reporting similar results -daily. Kushequa is fast arriving at a verdict that "Dodd's Kid ney Pills are the one sure cure for Rheumatism." Information Wanted. Bachelor Brother Is that baby in the fowl or animal class?

'I arose at 6 in the morning, as per instructions from the waist up. That Is, by means of the dorsal muscles I elevated myself to a sitting posture In bed. Then I lowered myself in the game way, without any assistance from the hands, you understand. I did that eight or ten times. Then I got up entirely, opened the window a little wider and took in long drafts of pure, fresh morning air. "Then I proceeded to the bathroom and took a cold plunge and rubbed my self briskly with a harsh towel. That done, I bent over and touched my toes without bending my knees a few times, then stood upright, and, with my heels close together, twisted my body to the right until I had a clear and uninterrupted view of my left side and then reversed the process. This was repeated until I could nearly make the circuit of myself on my own axis. Still erect, .

There are seven miles of railroads for each 100 of area. The daily mileage of the trains of thi3 country is 2,750.000. Freight trains carry 1,250,000,000 tons of freight per year. This country's traffic makes use of 37,000 passenger cars and 1,000,000 for freight. Uncle Sam's passenger rolling stock would make a soim tram uw miles long. Twenty -three miles of American rail roads in 1830 expanded to over 200,000 miles in 1904. It would require the work of 25,000.- 000 teams to do the work now done by the railroads. Four hundred and sixty-four trains enter and leave the New York Central station every day. In 1902 there were 8,583 persons killed in this country by the railroads and 64,662 injured. During recent years the most active center of railroad work has been the Southern gulf States. The country's locomotives number 41,000, of which 10,000 are equipped for passenger service. A thousand million miles are covered by the various trains of this country in the course of a year. The life of the locomotive is becom ing shorter because of the heavier work which it is required to do. The freight engines and cars en gaged in the traffic of this country would make a string 9,000 miles long.

Man Who Started Apple Culture in the West Waa Something of a Vagabond. The history of the apple in the United States is almost contempora neous with the settlement bf the coun try. It is definitely known that the first apple trees planted in America were imported by the Dutch settle ment at New York in 1614. Apple trees were also known to have been growing at Jamestown, Va., as early as 1622. Until within the last half century apples were grown almost solely for elder-making, as is the case to-day in France. As hard cider will Droduce drunkenness and a horrible katzenjammer, William Penn advised his colonists in Pennsylvania to culti vate indigenous fruits alone, as apples were then used almost exclusively for making cider or applejack. Many of the orchards of the pioneers of the middle west were grown from seeds obtained in a peculiar way. Some man whose name has been forgotten, and who is remembered only by the appellation of "Apple-Seed Johnny," traveled through the west and scatter ed among the settlers untold quantities of apple seeds. He gave them away free of charge and he was given a hearty welcome at every cabin door. The -last decade or two has shown wonderful development of the large commercial apple orchards in the west and the industry has now assumed vast proportions. Apples, for instance, are exported to England and many foreign countries. Apple cores from the big drying establishments are pur chased by eastern buyers and shipped to France to be used in the adultera tion of wines and champagne. A large part of this champagne and wine is shipped back to America In wine casks made at Poplar Bluff, Mo., In the largest barrel factory In the world. Developing an Old Land.
