scientist. All the papers are talking
about it.

Arriving at a Verdict.
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."

HIS NAME IS FORGOTTEN.
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
