Proved Beyond a Doubt.
Middlesex, N. Y.. July 25 (Spec
ial) That lOieiimatlsm can I cured
has been proved beyond a doubt by
Mrs, Betsey A, Clawaon, well known
here. Vhat Mia Claweon had libeu
matlsrn and had tt bad, all her ac
quaintances know. They also know
ahe is now cured. Dodd's Kidney l'ills
did It. Mrs. Clawson tells the story
of her cure as follows:
"1 was an Invalid for most five years
canned by Inflammatory KhaumatiNin,
helpless two-thirds of the time. The
flret year I could not do as much as
baby could do; then I rallied a little
hit and than a relapse. Then a year
ago the gout set in tny hands and feet
I suffered untold agony and in August,
11)03, when my husband died I could
not ride to the grave.
"I only took two boxes of . Dodd'a
Kidney l'ills and in two weeks I could
wslt on mysoll and saw my own wood.
I dug my own potatoes and gathered
my own garden Jest fall. Dodd a Kid'
ney rills cured me. '
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Fills put
the Kidneys in shape to take all the
uric acid out of the blood.

I rench point of view concerning bread,
which la even worae tlmn the Kronen

"Just as I am wilting I glance

no sense of any difference between
bread and wood and coal, and they de
liver It at one s home accordingly. It
Is never wrapped, and In nuahcsirts
made of slats or In great openwork
basket It Is heaped less carefully thnn

easier to buy than wood or cotil in
arls. The carts or biiKkeU are pushed
or carried by women wearing atout,
blue aprons covering them from neck
to knee, which aprons, like the sheets
on a French bed, are changed perhaps
as often as once a month. Arrived at

mounts to one's apartment carrying

loaves of bread, unwrapped, of course,
one under each arm." Harper's Razar.
Number In Karly Days.
In a paper read before the Thllo'ogl-
cal Society of the University of Michi
gan recently, Prof. Ceorge Hempl
commented upon the forerunners of
our present system of numeration.
Some two years ago, In seeking the
origin of the Hunlc letters (!he first let
ters used by the (Jer manic races),
I'rof. Hempl discovered the primitive
(iermanle numeral notations. This
threw new light upon tbe early CJer-
manic numeral system, as well as upon
the primitive Indo European numerical
system and upon the development of
tbe Greek alphabet and the Greek nu
merical notation.
The primitive Indo-European numer
ical system was a mixture of the deci
mal and the sexagesimal. The first
large number was the "shock" that
Is, sixty and the next large number
wss the "bund," or "hundred," that Is
120. Between 00 and 110 there were
no numbers like our 70, etc., 70 being
"a shock and 10," and 80 being "a
shock and 20." The Introduction of our
present numbers between 00 and 120
arose out of the Introduction of the
decimal bund or hundred, that Is, 100,
In distinction from which tbe old hun
dred (120) wss called the duodecimal
hundred, or the "greet hundred,"
which Is still used In Iceland and parts
of England.
Mistook the Motive.
An old man was sitting In the
street-car. In tbe aisle near him stood
a young woman, lie made a move
ment to rise, says tbo Detroit News,
as If to give her bis seat.
"Never mind, sir," said the young
women, Imperatively, "Just keep your
sest"
Hhe smiled pstronlrlngly on the old
man, Mho stared aud looked dnscd.
After two blocks more be again 'at
tempted to rise, but the young wom
an pushed him back, explaining po
litely, "I've stood so long now I don't
mind It. I'lease keep your seat."
"I say, young lady," cried the old
man In shrill Irritation, "I want to git
off 1 You've made me go half a mile
past my street already."
Hearing a Fly W alk.
It Is said that a fly makes O0
strokes per second wltu its wings, and
it has been proven that by the use of
the microphone you can hear a fly
walk.
Lockjaw, or tetanus. Is caused by
the development In tbe body of the
tetanus bacillus, a germ living In tbe
soil In many places, especially In city
streets, round barns and stables and
In pastures. This bacillus does not
grow readily when exposed to the air,
so there Is usually little danger of
lockjaw following large wounds. The
danger lies In tbe punctured wounds,
the ragged wounds, and often also the
seemingly trivial wounds which Leal
rapidly, and so seal up tbe tetanus
germ away from tbe air; there it rind
the conditions moxt favorable to Its
development and tbe manufacture of
the nerve polaon which causes tho
symptoms of tbls terrible disease.
Such being the case, the treatment of
little wounds from pistols, torpedoes
and crackers Is to make them bigger.
Tbis requires some courage on tbe
part of the doctor, and tbe more cour
age the smaller and apparently more
Insignificant Is the wound, and par
ents ought not to Increase bis trial by
pleading against tbe necessity of cut
ting deeply into the wound, opening It
widely and washing it out thoroughly
with antiseptic solutions. It Is only In
tbls way that the danger of lockjaw
can be reduced to a minimum, and
even tbls In exceptional cases does not
prevent the diseaae.
The modern treatment for this dis
ease Is the Injection of tetanus anti
toxin. Even this may fall If Injected
simply under tbe skin or into the mus
cles, and the antitoxin has occasion
ally been Injected into the sheath cov
ering the spinal cord, or even beneath
tbe membranes of tbe brain, so that It
may the more directly reach the nerve
centers chiefly affected by the poison.
WAS NEVER ABSENT OH TARDY.
KFLLIE J, M'lIlLLin. .
Tbe proudest day In the life of Nellie
J. Mcillllln of Kushvllle, Ind., was
when the County Board of Education
presented her with a gold medal for
punctual school attendance. Miss Mc-
Mlllln Is 16 and has attended school
since she was 5, and In all that time
she was never absent or tardy. Tbe
last four years she has lived in the
country, which made punctual attend
ance a serious matter, but ber record
la unbroken. She has graduated now.
English Bard Was Right
Dramatic critics aud comments tora
bare long been puszled to account for
the fact that Shakespeare placed tba
scene of "Hamlet" at Elalnore, In the
Island of Zealand, whereas tbe Dan
ish prince lived and died In Jutland.
But Just recently tbe municipal au
thorities at Elsinore, or Helslngor,
have discovered In their archives that
an English company wss acting in
their town in 1587 or 1588, and among
the names of the actors are several of
those who were acting with Shake
speare In London In 158.
Obviously, these actors must have
talked about their adventures in Den
mark, and ao Shakespeare became well
acquainted with Elsinore, aud, when
be wrote "Hamlet" naturally placed
the scene In a place which he knew
by description rather than In an Island
of which he knew nothing. Tbe poet
waa bo great stickler for accuracy in
geographical matters and tbls visit of
tbe English actora plausibly explains
the reason why tbe tragedy of "Ham
let" wss placed In Zealand and not In
Jutland.
Cure for Indigestion.
Scientific Investigation bas dlscov
ered that that troublesome disease.
dyspepsia, can be cured by short in
tervala of exposure to intense cold,
followed by bearty eating. M. Ilaoul
Plctet, a Swiss gentleman, was ex
pertmentlng with a low temperature,
He bad produced an artificial temper
ature In a sort of pit which caused the
thermometer to sink to 1-10 or 150 de
grees below sero. Among other ex
periments lie exposea uimseir ror a
brief Interval to this temperature by
lowering himself Into the pit. On
emerging be found himself Intensely
hungry and ate freely. The proceaa
waa repeated several times, and aa a
result be found himself cured of chron
ic Indigestion, from which be bad Buf

Dear Hir: "I took Perona last

Bkin eruptions, sallow com
plexion, biliousness. coated
tongue, fitful, irregular sleep,
help to complete tlte picture
which is so common at this sea
son. Peruna so exactly meets all
these conditions that the demand
is so great for this remedy at this
season of the year that it is near
ly impossible to supply it.
Peruna Contains No Narcotlca.
One reason why Peruna has
found permanent use in so many
homes is that it contains no nar
cotics of any kind, i'eruna is
perfectly harmless. It can be
used any length of time without
acquiring the drug habit.
