6 £URED OF GRAVEL. Stet a Stone Has Formed Since Using Doan's Kidney Pills. D. Daughtrey, music publisher, of Suffolk, Va., says: "During two or three years that I had f~ kidney trouble I passed 112 ..jMM 2% pounds of gravel an( l sandy sediment , ,A. 'gmfl in tlie urine. I haven't u vfflgpassed a stone since using Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and ';• 4 " that w as three yearo ago. I used to suffer SgfjßJK«BsMi the moßt acute agony during a gravel attack, ajiil had the other usual symptoms of ■kidney trouble—lassitude, headache, jntn in the back, urinary disorders, rheumatic pain, etc. I have a box con tfaraing 14 gravel stones that I passed, fcttt that is not one-quarter of the wbolc number. I consider Doan's Kid ney Pills a fine kidney tonic." For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a bo*. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Home of the Icebergs. Almost all the icebergs seen 1b the north Atlantic during June are products of the coast of Labrador, formed from the ice fields that had «ll<*d the indentations of that coast ■the previous winter. July's icebergs •come from further north in the vlcin fi£y of Baffin Land, those of August come from still further north, and fewer in number than those the earlier summer, are larger in individuality. From the coast of 3U*brador may be seen an endless of these ice mountains doming out of the north and taking their way majestically southward un til they lose their being in the warm er waters and climate of the south Atlantic. —Maine Journal. Best Violin Strings. The best strings for violins are of Italian make and are from the intes tines of spring lambs, killed in Sep tember. The process of drying and £»Seaching of the wood 3 and strings by hot Italian sun, rather than by artificial method used in other ooeatries, accounts in a great meas v»r« for the superior quality of both taiafecsrials. This intense heat was also the reason for the slow distillation rrf the oils used by the Italian mak ers, which always remained at a high iamperature, and the varnish, slowly ioaXJng into the woods of the violins beneath the heat of those Italian sum mers, produced, in part, the mellow ness of tone that gives to a Cremona flTLKtrument its value, after a lapse of tQO or more years.—March Circle. Little Bobby on Bees. Tattle Boby wrote an essay on bees ■ms follows: "The bee is a queer sort of an-in sect, that gives people a few points ■that they don't appreciate. The queen ftcc bosses the hive, just like nia iaosses our house. The drone bee is Zike pa; he don't care much about •work. There are other kinds of bees, including political bees, quilting bees and husking bees. But the best bees of all are the kissing bees. There is a Jsifising bee in our parlor every Sun day night and I get a nickel not to tell about it. When It comes to a choice of bees, give me a kissing bee every time." Many Children Take Sacrament. A notable confirmation took place recently in Dublin, at the pro-cathed raJ. Archbishop Walsh conferred the sacrament of confirmation on nearly a thousand children.

KEEP DOLLAR GOING 'ROUND Do Not Let It Eccape by Unnecessar ily Sending It to the City—Set an Example to Others. The community that will pull to gether, that will work as one man for the general interests, will find an abundance of prosperity. And working together means the spending of th« dollars of the com munity within the community. Nor does it mean only that the farmer, the mechanic, the doctor, the preacher, th« editor must spend their money at home, but it means also that the merchant must do the same thing. It means that you, Mr. Dry Goods Mer chant, must patronize your neighbor, Mr. Furniture Dealer, when you want furniture. It means that you, Mr. Furniture Dealer, must patronize your neighbor, Mr. Dry Goods Merchant, when you want dry goods. It means that the groceryman must patronize the home implement dealer when he wants a new wagon, and the imple ment dealer must buy his groceries in the home town. It means that whether Mr. Butcher, Mr. Grocery man, Mr. Dry Goods Merchant, Mr. Furniture Dealer, Mr. Hardware Man, The keen blade of trade reciprocity will divide the dollars of the com munity among the home people. Keeping the dollars at home will build saving accounts at the bank and make for general prosperity. Sending them to the city mail-order house wi II bring bankruptcy and ruin to all except the city. or whoever it may be, that intends to erect a new building they should buy the material for that building at home of their neighbor, Mr. Building Material Man. And let us speak a word for Mr. Printer Man also. He is a part of this community; he contributes to its prosperity; he advertises it, and he is entitled to his place in the circle through which the community's dol lars are to circulate. When you, Mr. Merchant, want printing of any kind, give the job to the home printer. The dollar that you spend with him he will again spend with you, and both will make a profit on it. It is but fair that he have this, his legiti mate portion of the home trade. He is as much a part of the community as yourself, and as much entitled to your support as you are entitled to the support of tbe farmer, the me chanic, the preacher, the doctor. The battle against the mail-order octupus can never be a successful one unless all interests are actively engaged in it. It can never be suc cessful so long as the merchant wants it preached but does not want to prac tice it himself. The merchant who sends his saving account to the city bank for safe keeping is not entitled to the support of the community whose money he takes from it. The merchant who will not patronize his brother merchants, who makes his visits to the city an excuse for buy ing his own household supplies, sup plies that are not carried on his own shelves, of the city merchants, is not entitled to the support of the com munity. Such a merchant wants to preach but not practice home trade. He wants to do with the community's dollars just what he condemns in others —send them away from the community. He would bankrupt the community for selfish interests. There are few, if any, such mer chants as this in this or other com munities, but if there are any here it is not for their benefit that this pa per is preaching home trade to its readers. We hear much of the strength of trusts and combinations. in what does their strength lie? To a large extent in the fact that they control the trade in the commodities in which they are dealing. They make every dollar they spend an interest earn ing dollar. Let us form a little trust of our own. Let all of us, merchant, farmer, doctor, mechanic, preacher, editor, spend our dollars at home, keep them at home, and we have or' ganized a trust of our own that will bring to each of us our share of earn ings on the capital invested. This is not a hard problem to figure out for ourselves. The farmer, let us say, wants a dollar's worth of sugar. He buys it of the home gro ceryman, >uid the groeeryman wakes CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 1907 a profit. The groceryman buyy a dol- ) lar's worth of dry goods, and the dry goods merchant makes a profit. The j dry goods merchant patronizes the | dentist, and the dentist makes a profit, and the dentist buys butter and produce from the farmer and the farmer makes a profit. So as the dollar goes around and around a com munity each man into whose keeping it comes makes a profit on the han dling of it, and the dollar grows Into two. But what would have happened had the farmer taken that dollar to buy his groceries of the mail-order | house, or the groceryman sent It to the city for his dry goods? The trust organization of the community ( would have been broken, that dollar j would have ceased to earn profits for 1 the people of the community, but would have began earning dollars for ; the city into which it was sent. It is the dollar that is spent at i home that makes the savings deposits of the home bank grow; that in creases the wealth of the community, and decreases the tax rate. Buying 1 at home means saving the commun- j ity, but, Mr. Merchant, do not preach , this trade at home doctrine unless I you practice it. You must buy your 1 stock of merchandise in the city to 1 be sure, but aside from what is spent I for your stock of merchandise see j to it that every dollar it is possible to keep at home remains in the com- J munity. Keep them circulating among your neighbors, and they will make money for you as well as for them; they will build the home com- j naunity, and make of it a prosperous j community in which your business | will grow, and your town holdings will grow in value at the same time the farmer's acres grow in value. The home trade problem is a many sided one, and the home merchant's side of the problem is not the least of them. WRIGHT A. PATTERSON. REASON FOR ALL THINGS. Customs That Now Seem Peculiar Had Origin in Wisdom. If you are patient enough to ferret it out you will find that there is a rea son for every little idiosyncrasy we have, for every queer thing we do. Take, for example, the wearing of widows' caps. Why do widows cover their heads with these curious little arrangements of maline, crepe and lace? It is a custom handed down to us from the Romans, who shaved their heads when they mourned the loss of a dear one. This idea was all right for men who did not mind appearing without a single spear of hair on their heads, but of course it was most un attractive for women. No one, not even a Roman matron, liked to be seen bald-headed, so the women of the Tiber devised a little cap to hide their baldness, and thus the custom has come down to us, even though heads are no longer shaved as a sign 9f mourning. The reason that bells are tolled for the dead is that years ago, when toll ing was first established, the people thought that the sound of the bells frightened away evil spirits who hov ered near the dead. Why do men, and women, too, wear bows on the left side of their hats? The reason is simple enough. When the head covering built upon the order of hats of to-day was first introduced it was ornamented with a ribbon which went around the crown and hung down in two ends on the left side, reaching below the shoulder. These ends were a sort of anchor, or safety line, and were put there expressly to be seized when a sudden gust of vind threaten ed to blow the hat away. The ribbons were put on the left side because, as a general thing, the left hand was more apt to be free than the right. Eventu ally these ribbons were knotted in a fetching bow with flowing ends, and then they were cut off quite close to the hat, so that they form a very small and stiff bow knot. It is always the custom to throw old shoes after a bride and this queer custom came into vogue when parents were in the habit of using their slip pers to keep tfceir girls obedient and good. Now the slipper is not really intended for the bride, but for the bridegroom, who is supposed to use it for the same purpose the mother and father of olden times did. Failures are, with heroic minds, the stepping stones of »u;cess.*. IN THE HOUSEHOLD MATTERS OF GENERAL SANITARY IMPORTANCE. Proper Care of the Bathroom and Its Appurtenances—To Clean Incan descent Mantles—Getting Rid of Ants. Besides the stationary belongings to the bathroom—tubs, shower bath, lavatory and cloaet —there should be a room completely furnished, a soap dish, spongeholder, soiled linen bas ket, tumbler holder, robe hook, match box, and toilet paper holder. Each one of these artfcles should be kept in order with exactness and regular ity. Plenty of soap and warm water should be used on the enameled work, with occasional additions of ammonia The nickel plating should be rubbed with a soft dry cloth, whiting being used as a polisher. Patent prescriptions for nickel plate should be avoided, as they often con tain an acid that destroys the metal Sanitary plumbing is of such great importance in building a house every item that makes for show should be cut out if it deprives the bathroom of the best class of v/ork. Cases of Illness are certain to follow cheap plumbing, with doctors' bills to prove a severe punishment for the false economy. To clean incandescent mantels, first remove the globe, then lift off the re maining parts, and place on a table. Take off the chimney, then with a hatpin put half way through the cord at the top of the mantle, lift off care fully and place each end of the pin on the side of a tumbler, the mantle hanging down between them. Then pour carefully over the mantle a little mythelated spirits. Remove the film and with a soft brush clean the man tle. Then apply a lighted match to burn the spirits off mantle (as when new). Clean the chimney with a little of the spirits left in tumbler, then the globe. Replace both, and you will have a beautiful, clear light and your mantle will last at least a few months longer. Be careful not to put a lighted match near the spirits. In cleaning a stopped waste pipe, first remove the grate in the sink. Get three round pieces of leather which will fit the waste pipe, cut a piece of broom handle one and one half feet long, and place the three pieces of leather on top of each oth er. Drive a long nail through the cen ter and into the end of the handle. Insert in the waste pipe and move quickly up and down. To eliminate ants, the surest way is to find the uest and destroy it. Place some grains of coarse granu lated sugar where it will be found eas ily by the ants and then watch each loaded body as it scampers over the line of march to the nest. Often the track ends at a well, especially if the house is old, and it may be neces sary to cut away a portion of the surface before the nest can be reach ed. At other times the little fellows make straight for out of doors with a wisdom one only can marvel at. Then, If followed they will be seen to enter a hole in the ground. This is the nest. When the nest is in the house, saturate it thoroughly with kerosene, or with boiling water, doing the work quickly, for the spry little mites will hurry to get away from the death dealing fluid. Any portion •of the wall or of the flooring that has been removed in order to reach the nest can be replaced when the work is ac complished. TIME TO CLEAN FURS. B>-an Is the Best Agent That Can Bo . Employed. Every woman who wears furs should clean them this season, no matter how carefully they have been worn, for they are surely dirty, though dark skins may not show the soil. Many light ones, however, give marked evi dences now of the need of cleans ing. This cleaning process that restores (he luster and "life" may be easily done at home by rubbing bran into the fur. For this work buy a pound of bran, divide it into two portions, and place one in the oven to heat. Spread the fur on paper on a table and rub it well all over with the cold bran. Then shake out the bran and brush the fur with a soft hat brush. When the rest of the bran feels hot, rub it even ly into the fur in the same manner as before. Shake it out and brush it till the fur is quite free from all bran and dust. Ermines, white fox and other white skins require slightly different treat ment. Sawdust and plaster of paris, mixed half and half, should be heat ed and rubbed into the skin several times. Then the coat, collar, etc., should be putin the sun to air or else hung near a radiator. A white felt of chiffon hat may be much freshened by rubbing pow dered magnesia into it as firmly as one can without injuring the material, and then brushing out with a soft brush. Repeat this several times. Rust Blemishes. Rust may be removed from nickel plating by covering the spots with mutton tallow and letting it stand for several days. If this treatment is fol lowed by a rubbing with powdered rottenstone and then by a thorough washing with strong ammonia, sue ceeded by clear water, and a final pol ishing with dry whiting, stubborn oases will yield.—Woman's Life. HELPING ALONG HIS MEMORY. Husband Willing to Do His Best to Follow Instructions. Mr. Morse Is an undemonstrative man and an absent-minded one as well. In these two respects he is a trial to his wife, who is exactly his opposite. "James," she eaid as she badq him good-by when he was about to start for Chicago, "will you remember to hunt up Cousin Williapi and find out all about Aunt Sarah? It is so many years since I've heard from any of that family." "Yes, my dear." "And do you suppose you will re member to put on your overcoat if the wind changes, so as not to catch one of your dreaded colds?" "Yese, my dear." "And you will try to remember that you have plenty of clean collars, so jrou needn't go about looking as if you had no wife to see to you?" "Yes, my dear," said Mr. Morse, as he turned to take up his bag. "And, James," said Mrs. Morse, tear' fully, "do you suppose you will think of me every day while you are gone and I am here at home?" "My dear," responded Mr. Morse, with his mind on catching the train, "I will certainly make a memorandum to do so." FURIOU9 HUMOR ON CHILD. Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body —Nothing Helped Her—Cuticura Cures Her in Five Days. "After my granddaughter of about, seven years had been cured of the measles, she was attacked about a fortnight later by a furious itching and painful eruption all over her body, especially the upper part of it, forming watery and bleeding sores, especially under the arms, of considerable size. She suffered a great deal and for three weeks we nursed her every night, using all the remedies we could think of. Nothing would help. We tried the Cuticura Remedies and after twenty four hours we noted considerable im- J provement, and after using only one complete set of the Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days the little one, much to our joy, had been entirely cured, and has been well for a long time.

Motherhood may be the crowning blessing of a -woman's life or it may bring grief and sorrow. Mrs. M. J. Wight, of 170 Seventh Street, Auburn. Maine, relates her experience after the birth of her daughter in 1901, as fol lows: "I was all run down at the time the baby came and did not im prove in health rapidly after. I was pale, thin and bloodless. My stomach distressed me being full of gas all the time and my heart fluttered so that I could scarcely breathe. "Finally I remembered that a friend had recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to me so I commenced using them. I gained In strength rapidly while the baby throve also. When I expected my next child I started tak ing th« pills again as a tonic and strengthener and had no such diffi culty as before. I got up better and my strength came back much sooner. "A year ago last winter I had an at tack of rheumatism in the hands which went from one hand to the other. The Joints swelled up and were so stiff I could not move them. The pain ex tended up through my arms and .shoulders. I felt sick enough togo to bed but did not do so. This attack lasted for several months. I tried sev eral remedies but finally came back to using the pills which had done me bo much good before and found that they benefited me almost at once. I have not been troubled since."
