WORN TO A SKELETON.
A Wonderful Restoration Caused a
Sensation in a Pennsylvania
Town.
Mrs. Charles N. Preston, of Elkland,
I'a., says: "Three years ago I found
that ray housework
was becoming a bur-
den. I tired easily,
had no ambition and
was fading fast. My
complexion got yel-
low, and I lost over
50 pounds. My thirst
was terrible, and
there was sugar in
the kidney secre-
tions. My doctor kept me on a strict
diet, but as his modlcine was not help-
ing me, 1 began using Doan's Kidney
Pills. They helped me at once, and
soon all traces of sugar disappeared.
I have regained my former weight and
am perfectly well."

Vanishing Rural Industries.
The gradual cessation, one after
another, of the countryside industries
Is one of the principal reasons why the
peasant owner has vanished from the
land . Thatching and woodcraft have
been killed by rural councils, with
their craze for slated roofs, and by the
substitution of other materials for
timber. The cottager can no longer
even burn wood, but must buy coal,
since his fireplaces are not fashioned
for the consumption of fagots. Lon-

Sympathy Led to Life Work.
Prof. Edward Perkins Clarke, the
newly-appointed principal of the Cen-
tral New York institution of deaf
mutes, was led to make the profes-
sion of teaching the deaf his life's
work owing to the fact that both his
parents were deaf.
Established.
Have you Chills of any variety, of
any other malarial trouble? If so,
use a bottle of Cheatham's Chill Tonic.
It's guaranteed. It's not an experi-
ment of one season, but an established
I wenty-year-old remedy that has never
been excelled.
When Bachelors Were Taxed.
There is nothing revolutionary in
modern proposals to tax bachelors.
Two centuries ago every celibate in i
England was paying tribute to the
exchequer "for neglecting his duty to
support another man's daughter."
Carloads of Whisky Lost.
Among the few other things lost
in the shuffle during the earlier relief
proceedings in San Francisco were j
nine carloads of whisky, and, despite
strenuous efforts, the whisky has not
been traced yet.

CA:NED 34 POUNDS
Persistent Anaemia Cured by Dr.
Williams' Pink Pitts After Other
Remedies Had Failed.
" When I began taking Dr. Williams'
Pink Fills," says Mrs. Nathauie} Field,
of St.. Albans, Somerset county, Maine,
"I was tiie palest, most bloodless person
yon con id imagine. My tongue and
gums were color loss nuil my fingers and
ears were like wax. I had two doctors
ami they prououueed my troubleauwmia.
I liinI spt'lls of vomiting, could not eat,
in fact, did not dare to, I hail such dis-
tress after eating. My stomach was filled
with gas which caused me awful agony.
The backache I suffered was at times
almost unlieainhle ami the least exertion
made my heart bent go fast that I could
hardly breathe. Hut the worst of all was
the splitting neuralgia headache which
never left me for seven weeks. About this
time I had had several numb spells. My
limbs would bo cold mid without any
feeling and the most deathly sensations
would come over me.
"Nothing bail helped me until I began
taking Dr. Williams' Pink 1'ills, in fact,
I had grown worse every day. After I
bail taken the pills a short time I could
BOO Hint they were benefiting me nud
one morning I awoke entirely free from
pain. The distress after eating disap-
peared and ill throe weeks I could eat
anything 1 wanted nnd suffer no incon-
venience. . I also slept soundly. 1 have
taken several boxes of the pills and have
gained in weight from 130 to 154 pounds
and am perfectly well now."
Dr. Williams' Pink Fills cure anosmia
because they actually make new blood.
For rheumatism, indigestion, nervous
headaches and many forms of weakness
they are roooiuniended even if ordinary
medicines liavo failed. They are sold by
nil druggists, or will be sent postpaid,« u

Criticism is Attributed to Ignorance of
Proposed Reform—Not Intended as a
Revolution, But to Keep Abreast of
the Times
OYSTER HAY: In a letter to Charles
i\. Stilllngs, public printer at Washing-
:on, made public this week, President
Roosevelt wrote that if the changes
n spelling advocated by the simplified
ipelling board and put into use in of-
Iclal documents meet popular approval
hey will be made permanent. If not,
je wrote they will be dropped.
The president's letter follows:
"My Dear Mr. Stillings:—I inclose
Herewith copies of certain circulars
if the simplified spelling board, which
.ian be obtained free from the board
at No. 1 Madison avenue. New YoiU
City. Please hereafter direct that in
ill government publications of the
executive departments the above 300
words enumerated in circular No. 5,
shall be spelled as therein set forth.
"If any one asks the reason for the
action, refer him to circulars 3, 4 and
(i as issued by the simplified spelling
board. Most of the criticism of the
proposed step is evidently made in
entire ignorance of what the step is,
no less than in entire ignorance of
I lie very moderate and common sense
views as to the purpose to he achieved,
which views are so excellently set forth
in the circulars to which I have refer-
red.
"There is not the slightest intention
to do anything revolutionary, or initi-
iiate any far-reaching policy. The pur-
pose simply is for the government in-
stead of lagging behind popular senti-
ment to advance abreast of it and at
the same time abreast of the views
of the ablest and most practical educa-
tors of our time, as well as of the
most profound scholars—men of the
stamp of Professor I.gunsbury and Pro-
fessor Skeat .
"If the slight changes in the spell-
ing of the "00 words proposed wholly
or practially meet popular approval,
then the changes will become per-
manent, without any reference to what
public officials or individual, private
citizens may feel: if they do not ulti-
mately meet with popular approval
they will be dropped, and that is all
there is about it.
"They represent nothing in the
world but a very slight extension of
the movement which has made agri-
cultural implement makers and farm-
ers write 'plow' instead of 'plough',
which has made most Americans write
'honor' without the somewhat ab-
surd, superfluous 'u,' and whichis even
now making people write 'program'
without the 'me', just as all people who
speak English now write 'bat', 'set'
dim', 'sum' and 'fish', instead of the
Elizabet'.iian 'batte', 'sette', 'dimme',
suinme', and 'fyshe', which makes us
write 'public', 'almanac', 'era', 'fantasy'
and 'wagon' instead of the 'publick'.
'almanac', 'aera', 'phantasy' and 'wag
pon', of our greatgrandfathers
"It is not an attack on the lani^iage
if Shakespeare and Milton, because
it is in some instances a going-back
'o the forms they used, and in others,
merely the extension of changes which,
as regards other words, have taken
place since their time. It is not an
attempt to do anything far-reaching
ir Hidden or violent, or indeed any-
thing very great at all. It is merely
in attempt to cast what slight weight
'an properly be cast on the side of the
popular forces which are endeavoring
to make our spelling a little less
foolish and fantastic.

ANOTHER EXPERIMENT STATION.
John Fields Would Have It in North-
western Oklahoma.
GUTHRIE: In the course of a few
vears there will probably be four sub-
experiment stations in Oklahoma, ac
ording to John Fields, whose resigna-
I (Ion as manager of the agricultural
■ i'X| erimbent station at Stillwater took
j effect September 1. A plan of estab-
| 'ishing a sub-station in western
)k lahoma has frequently been ad-
vanced. Climatic conditions there are
different than in any other section of
! lie stnte, therefore, experiments con-
| ducted In Eastern Oklahoma do not
nlways apply to Western Oklahoma.
Mr. Fields believes that, the western
I sub-station will be established either
ln Woods or Woodward county.
] ' An annual appropriation by the
'egislature of $10,000 would maintain
hose sub-stations." said Mr. Fields,
"and there is no reason to believe th'it
the new state will not establish
hem."

for a new school house and asks Sec-
retary Hitchcock to approve litem.

All Chemically Pure.
The mistaken idea of a few years
ago, about Alum in liaking Powders
being injurious, no longer prevails, or
scarcely exists. It is a well estab-
lished fact by chemical analysis that
Cream of Tartar being less volatile
than Alum, when exposed to heat, is
not entirely vaporized as is the case
with Alum, but leaves a residue in the
bread, which is injurious. Alum, on
the contrary, is entirely evaporated
while performing its function during
process of baking, leaving no atom of
injurious residuous substance. The
words "Chemically Pure" erroneously
used to designate Cream of Tartar
from Alum baking powder is a mis-
nomer. Baking Powder made of pure
Alum is as chemically pure as made
from pure cream of tartar. These
words mean nothing more nor less
than pure chemicals, and in no way
can they imply that one baking pow-
der is Alum and another Cream of
Tartar. Alum lias been declared to be
wholesome; an established fact. Ev-
ery large water system in the cities
along the Missouri river use Alum in
large quantities to purify the water
before pumping it into their water
mains for consumption. Cream of Tar-
tar baking powder is perhaps good
enough for any one; Alum baking
powder is better, and very much
cheaper.
MORE PULQUE BEING DRUNK.
Mexico City Gets Away With 800,000
Litres Every Day.
The consumption of pulque in Mex-
j tco city is rapidly increasing, and
the hauling of the drink is becoming
one of the principal sources of rev-
enue on a number of lines entering
the city.
On nearly every railroad entering
the city a special pulque train is run
into the city daily and many of the
| regular freight trains carry large
j numbers of cars containing the popu-
lar* drink.
During the month of June three
i railroads, the llildago, the Mexican
and the luteroceanic, carried into the
| city 59,801 barrels and 334 skins full
j of the pulque gathered within a radius
of sixty miles of the city. The Na-
tional, the Central and the smaller
lines brought in an amount probably
half as great.
Allowing that the population of
Mexico city is 400,000 men, women
and children, the quantity of pulque
brought into the city daily is suf-
ficient to supply almost two liters to
every individual. Do you drink your
share? During the month of June 14,-
9S5.290 liters of pulque were brought
info the city, as in one barrel there
are 250 liters and in one skin 60 liters.
During each day of the month an av-
erage of 748,203 liters was brought to
the city.
The amount thus reckoned is ex-
clusive of the pulque brought to the
city in wagons and on muleback from
the nearby haciendas.
GOOD AND HARD.
Results of Excessive Coffee Drinking.
It is remarkable what suffering
some persons put up with just to sat-
isfy an appetite for something.
A Mich, woman says: "I had been
using coffee since I was old enough to
have a cup of my own at the table,
and from It I have suffered agony
hundreds of times in the years past.
"My trouble first began in the form
I of bilious colic, coming on every few
| weeks and almost ending my life. At
every attack for 8 years I suffered in
i this way. I used to pray for death to
j relieve me from my suffering. I had
also attacks of sick headache, and be-
gan to suffer from catarrh of the stom-
ach, and of course awful dyspepsia.
"For about a year I lived on crack-
ers and water. Believing that coffee
was the cause of all this suffering, I
; finally quit it and began to use
Postum Food Coffee. It agreed with
1 my stomach, my troubles have left
1 me and I am fast gaining my health
under its use.
"No wonder I condemn coffee and
! tea. No one could be In a much more
| critical condition than I was from
the use of coffee. Some doctors pro-
nounced it cancer, others ulceration,
J but none gave me any relief. But
since I stopped coffee and began Pos-
| turn I am getting well so fast 1 can
| heartily recommend It for all who
I suffer as 1 did." Name given by

vllle." "There's a reason."
WILD WITH ITCHING HUMOR.
Eruption Broke Out in Spots All Over
Body—Cured at Expense of Only
$1.25—Thanks Cuticura.
"The Cuticura Remedies cured me of
my skin disease, and I am very thank-
ful to you. My trouble was eruption
of the skin, which broke out in spots
all over my body, and caused a con-
tinual itching which nearly drove me
wild at times. I got medicine of a
doctor, but it did not cure me, and
when I saw in a paper your ad, I sent
to you for the Cuticura book and I
studied my case in it. 1 theu went
to the drug store and bought one cake
of Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura
Ointment and one vial of Cuticura
Pills. From the first application I re-
ceived relief. I used the first set and
two extra cakes of Cuticura Soap, and
was completely cured. I had suffered
for two years, and I again thank Cuti-
cura for my cure. Claude N. John-
son, Maple Grove Farm, R. F. D. 2,

Beit's Deed of Generosity.
One of the many persons whom the
late Alfred lieit had befriended repaid
him with ingratitude and abuse.
Later the ingrate fell on evil times.
Though down in the gutter, he still
had a little shame left and would not
ask Mr. Beit for help. The South Af-
rican diamond magnate sent for one
of the uniucky one's friends and said:
"Go and see So-anil-So, ask if he wants
any help, and give it to him, but don't
let him think it is from me. 1 have
had a difference with him and per-
haps it would annoy him!"
Sensible German Idea.
On continental railways and the
Rhine steamers there is no miscel-
laneous scrambling for meals. Instead
a steward goes through the train or
boat and lists the people who want
to eat. Each gets a number, and this
insures a seat without crowding or
delay.
Eugenie's Mission to Austria.
The Paris papers still insist that
Empress Eugenie went to Ischl on a

is said, -the hand of a granddaughter
of Francis Joseph for Princess Louis
Napoleon.
