SAVE WILLIAM PENN'S CHAIRS
National Heirlooms, About to Fall
Apart, Have Been Repaired
by Blind Women.
Two quaint and graceful chairs that
once belonged to William Penn have
Just been repaired by two women who
have never Been the chairs, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. The two women
ar« Inmates of the Pennsylvania In-
dustrial Home for Blind Women. The
chairs are preserved In the east room
of Independence hall, on the second
floor. Year by year the cane bottoms
of the famous old relics have been
gradually cracking and falling out.
The committee In charge decided that
unless the cane was replaced the
woodwork might soon collapse. But
thny did not dare to let the chairs
be taken out of Congress hall.
no they sent for Miss Ira Frost, mis-
tress of handicraft at the Industrial
Home for Blind Women, and she

the blind women who understood chair
repairing. The work was peculiarly
difficult, for it was impossible to erect
In Congress hall the caning table need-
ed to hold the chairs firmly in place,
and, moreover, their woodwork was
Boft with age. But the deft "seeing
fingers" of the bling women did the
work In spite of all the difficulties, and
now the precious William Penn chairs
are safe.

8HE QUIT
But It Was a Hard Pull.
It Is hard to believe that coffee will
put a person In such a condition as It
did an Ohio woman. She tells her
own story:
"I did not believe coffee caused my
trouble, and frequently said I liked it
so well I would not, and could not,
quit drinking it, but I was a miserable
sufferer from heart trouble and nerv-
ous prostration for four years.
"I was scarcely able to be around,
had no energy and did not care for
anything. Was emaciated and had
constant pain around my heart until I
thought I could not endure It.
"Frequently 1 had' nervous chilli
and the least excitement would drive
sleep away, and any little noise would
upset me terribly. I was gradually
geUing worso until finally I asked my-
8<Jf what's the use of being Blck all
tLe time and buying medicine so that
I could Indulge myself in coffee?
"So I got some Postum to help me
quit. I made it strictly according to
directions and I want to tell you that
change was the greatest step in my
life. It waa easy to quit coffee be-
cause I now like Postum better than
tho coffcc.
"One by one the old troubles left
until now I am in splendid health,
nerves steady, heart all right and the
pain all gone. Never have any more
nervous chills, don't take any medi-
cine, can do all my house work and
have done a great deal besides."

Postum comes in two forms:
Postum Cereal—the original form—
must be well boiled. 15c and 25c pack-
ages.
Instant Postum—a soluble powder-
dissolves quickly In a cup of hot wa-
ter and, with cream and sugar, makes
a delicious beverage Instantly. 30c
and 60c tins.
Both kinds are equally delicious and
oost about the same per cup.

Kansas City. Mo., June 19.—Later
reports from Clay Center Bald the Re-
publican river had broken through the
dikes west of the city and had done
much damage. The river had reahced
a stage of twenty-two feet, within two
feet of the high mark, or the flood
of 1903.
Kansas City, June 19— Reports from
storm-swept sections of the southwest
continue to reach here tonight, bring-
ing news of additional deaths and fur-
ther property damage Up to mid
night a total of nineteen persons were
known to be dead from the terrific
wind, hail and electrical storms which
last night and early today centered in
Missouri and Kansas. Streams in many
sections of both states were near flood
stages today by reason of the heavy
rainfall, and tonight continued to rise
rapidly.
The property damage, which is esti-
mated at a quarter of a million dolr
lars.
The heavy fall of rain—ranging from
two to five inches—turned many small
creeks in the affected districts into
turbulent streams which extended
their waters over lowlands and sent
the rivers to which they are tributary
on rapid upward spurts. Tonight all
points in the Kansas river valley and
along the Missouri river from Kansas
City to Jefferson City are in posses-
sion of government warnings of im-
pending floods.
Weather Observer Conner said to-
night flood conditions in the Blue, Re-
publican and Solomon river valleys in
Kansas were serious, although he was
hopeful the streams would be able to
carry away the tremendous volume of
water from the rains. The situation is
most dangerous at Clay Center, where
the Republican 1b hurling a great mass
of water against the dikes that pro-
tect the lower section of the city.
Hundreds of men are at work building
sand bag fortifications. It Is feared
if the stream sweeps over the dikes it
will cut a new channel and do great
dajaage to property ijj the vidjjjty.
Train service into Kansas City tad
improved tonight. Most of the rail-
rnoru w«r# getting in by detouring
over other lines. A delay of from one
to three hours in all directions still
existed, however.
Many stories of narrow escapeB
came in as telegraphic communication
became better in the area affected. At
Goltry, Okla., J. R. Johnson and Volney
Kraft, farmers, led their families into
caves at the approach of a small tor
nado, and saved their lives, the homes
of both families being demolished. The
stone home of Melvin Pipkin was de-
stroyed while Pipkin and his wife were
within. Both escaped with bruises.
Mrs. Clyde Wood was carried from
home into a wheat field a mile away
and escaped with slight injuries. B.
E. Bowen, a farmer, suffered a frac-
tured skull when a dwelling was blown
in upon him.
Sixty-five cars were blown from the
Frisco track in the yards at Fort
Scott, Kan. One was a work train
in which track laborers were living
Three were injured. The home of J.
T. Wood was blown over intact, carry-
ing the occnpanta with It. No one
was hurt. Several farm houses and
many small buildings north of Fort
Scott were blown away.

WHAT TO DO FOR
YOUR ITCHING SKIN
Eczema, ringworm and other Itch-
ing. burning akin eruptions are so
easily made worse by Improper treat-
ment that one has to be very careful.
There Is one method, however, that
you need not hesitate to use, even on
a baby's tender skin—that is the
reslnol treatment. Resinol is the pre-
scription of a Baltimore doctor, put
up In the form of reslnol ointment
and resinol soap. ThlB proved so re-
markably successful that thousands of
other physicians have been prescrib-
ing it constantly for 20 years.
Reslnol stop# Itching Instantly, and
almost always heala the eruption
quickly and at little cost Reslnol oint-
ment and reslnol soap can be bought
at any druggist's and are not at all
expensive. Great for sunburn.—Adv.

British Troops In 8outhwest Africa
Have to Conduct Campaign
Under Difficulties.
One of the hottest places where the
British are fighting Is In German
Southwest Africa, where General
Botha Is In command of an expedition
against the enemy. The habitable part
of German Southweet Africa lies In
the center of a aun-scorched, water-
less, fchadeless desert of Bhlftlnft sand,
and General Botha's men have to carry
everything they need, for nothing
whatever can be obtained from the
country, not even fodder for the ani-
mals.
The sand penetrates everywhere,
and the heat of the sun Is so terrific
that all the troops fighting with Gen-
eral Botha have been Berved out with
veils and "goggles." Without them,
Indeed, It would be Impossible to get
along at all, and. as It 1s, hundreds
of the Boer burghers, though hardened
campaigners, have been so blistered
by the sun that they ire In hospital.
The heat at midday Is 122 degrees
In the shade and the "shade" Is a
sweltering tent. Many of the troops
pass that time of the day with noth-
ing on but a sun helmet and a pair
of boots.
ACT WAS NOT TO HIS LIKING
American 8oldler Properly Resented j
Filipino's Insult to a Spanish
Officer.
The story Is told by an English na-
val officer who witnessed the occur-
rence In Manila: "As I was crossing
one of the numerous bridges across
the Paslg river, I saw a native Fili-
pino spit In the face of a Spanish
officer, and then run for protection to
the American sentinel, who was pac-
ing the bridge. It was some time be-
fore the Filipino eould make himself
understood, but when the Bentry com-
prehended his action was very prompt
Indeed. He handed his gun to the
8panish officer, caught the native by
the nape of the neck and the seat of
his trousers, and pitched him off the
bridge into the Paslg river. Then he
calmly took his gun from the officer,
and began pacing his beat, as if noth-
ing had happened."—Unidentified.
Some of Those Who Need Reforming.
"How nice it would be," tnnrdaclous-
ly remarked J. Fuller Gloom of Snlf-
fleB, Mo., "If the village drunkard, the

woman who comes of a fine old fam-
ily, the political wheelhorse, the natu-
ral-born humorist, the local poet, the
dramatlo reciter, the preacher who
tries to get down to the masses, the
lady who Is greatly troubled over our
lack of culture, and several others
whom 1 could name, vould experience
