WHERE DOCTORB FAILED. Terrible Kidney Trouble Cured After Phyaiciane Gave Up Hope. Mrs. Gertrude Wilson, 642 Beckley Bt., Camden, N. J., says:"l became so t bloated I could not button my dress. My head ached terribly and I was so dizzy I had to grasp some thing to keep from falling. A retention of kidney secretions set in and I often went 48 hours with out a passage. Three physicians treated me but I gradually grew worse. As a last resort I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills and when I had used seven boxes, I was a well woman. I have had no return of kid ney trouble during the past three years." "When Your Back is Lame, Remem ber the Name —DOAN'S." For sale by druggists and general •torekeepers everywhere. Price 60c.

Circumstantial Evidence. A Scotchman and his wife were vis iting In a wild, beautiful part of the country. While driving one day with their host, the two men sitting to gether in the front seat while the lady sat behind, they crossed a high bridge which spanned a roaring torrent. An unusually loud splash caught the gen tlemen's attention for a moment, but nothing was said. After several miles the gentleman turned to address s> remark to his wife, but her seat wan empty. "Aye," he remarked to his host, "that will be ypn splash we heard." — Housekeeper- Overheard in Venice. < "Isn't it romantic, John, dear," said she, as they sat in the little Venetian garden, "to sit here and listen to these Italian troubadours singing their bal lads' bathed in the moonlight?"

"The Memory Lingers" Sold by Grocer* Pofltum Cereal Co., Ltd., battle Creek, Mich. I For the Hostess \ A Hobby Luncheon. A college girl described this affair to me, and I saw its possibilities even for those not in the hey-dey of youth, for who of us hasn't some hobby which we ride, either fast or slow, and In some instances "it" rides us. The guests were eight girls, all students at the same university, a.nd all "next" to each other's whims and fancies. The centerpiece was a small hobby horse ridden by a dolly dressed In cap and gown. At each place were small hobby horses with the name cards attached by ribbons in the class colors. No names were written, but all found their places by the clever drawing in pen and ink on the cards. For instance, the girl with musical ambitions found herself "Ten years hence with a hand organ and a monkey grinding out 'Home, Sweet Home.'" The stout girl (she called herself plump) was represented rolling down hill with the words, "I have lost one-eighth of a pound;" the maiden who was to he a teacher (in her own mind), was depicted as a fashionable society woman playing bridge; and the golf-girl found herself with Cupid peer ing out of her bag and the words, "A clever stroke" underneath. When all were seated the hostess asked each one to explain w r hy her hobby was commendable, and she told them to look under their place plates, and there they found quaintly worded in vitations asking them to meet her ten years from date and see how the hobby horses had been ridden. If im possible to be present, letters were to be sent to be read aloud. At the fin ish all joined hands and aang "Auld Lang Syne." Around-the-World Tea. A young ladles' Mission band got np the following very successful tea. A house represented each of these eight countries and several automo biles conveyed the guests to and fro: Greece, Italy, Germany, Russia, Eng land, America. France and Japan. A five-minute paper about each coun try, with music, furnished amusement and the attendants were in costume. Flags of the country made the decora tion with whatever characteristic ar ticle obtainable. A very small admis sion fee was collected by tho courier as guests entered the auto and small tees were charged for refreshments, which were peculiar to the country as the menu shows: Greece, olives; Italy, spaghetti; Germany, kaffe kuch en; Japan, meshi (rice); France, vin di rouge (red punch); Kussia, caviar canapes; England, plum pudding; America, pie. With good committees this scheme may be enlarged upon and a most in teresting entertainment evolved. A New Word-Making Game. A hostess entertaining in honor of i visiting guest passed cards bearing the last name of her friend. The com pany was told to make as many words from the letters composing the naw« .its they could in twenty minutes. A prize was awarded for the longest and shortest lists. This proved a very pleasant introduction and served as Dainty Millinery CLOSELY fitting hat of coarse | white straw flecked with black, J turned up at the back with pink i velvet, and trimmed on one side , with a bunch of velvet apples and sat j in apple blossoms.

Make a contest of stringing bead* and have a game of archery. A "Red Hot" Social. Try this the first real cold day and you are wondering how to warm up a church social which promises to be an icy affair. Issue posters on scarlet cardboard, decorate with red cheese cloth, red shades, and train a good lusty chorus to sing, "A Hot Time." Dress the reception committee and waiters in red, have the admission "5 red cents." Serve "red hots" (Wien erwurst) uncased in hot rolls, pickles and coffee with doughnuts for sweets. MADAME MKUltl. IN"voquf Skirts, especially on lingerie dress es, are showing more fullness. Double veilings are being used to give lovely iridescent effects. Velour hats are proving strong fa vorites in early fall millinery. The vogue for black and white alli ances shows but little abatement. The jumper design has been fin i ously revived for dressy shirtwaists. Collarettes of black or white tulle are used to wear with afternoon gowns. Extensive use Is made of all kinds of laces, and even lace robes are com ing to the front. Blue and white combinations are to have a place in fashion, especially in wash fabrics. Gowns of all-over lace —some of the exceedingly costly—have the highest approval in fashion. Tulle and lace are largely used for fichus on evening gowns. These are edged with bead fringe. White Crochet Button. Small and large buttons made & white cotton thread coarsely crochetef are now in first fashion. They art placed 011 blouses. 011 one-piece frocks on top wraps, in every size.

Proposal On a Fan Lisette's grandfather was taking her back to Honolulu, after she had fin ished her course in a fashionable San Francisco boarding school. Lisette had been an apt pupil in conforming with American fashions. Her grandfa ther hoped devotedly the first time he saw his transformed little Honolulu lady that she had derived as much from the text-books as evidently she had imbibed from the style journals. Jimniie spied Lisette as soon as the steamer left port. Anxious to become acquainted with her, he followed the couple on deck. "We are especially fortunate," the old gentleman was saying. "Never have I been on a smoother sailing ves sel. You wouldn't know we were mov ing. The waves aren't even nervous." "Pardon me." broke in Jimmy. "We haven't started yet." His inimitable smile must have been contagious for Lisette smiled back at him with the most beautiful smile that commenced in her great candid eyes and rippled all over her face. From that minute Jimmy was her devoted admirer. Everyone called the lad "Jimmy," old and young were soon under the fascination of the big fellow with the round, over-grown baby face. "Jimmy shadows that pretty little Honolulu girl all over the deck," said the captain's wife. "Yes, and that old grandfather shad ows them both. Just as soon as he's comfortably seated in his steamer chair, engrossed in some novel, he spies his granddaughter with Jimmy, and lie's off after them." "Jimmy came from the same town as we do," continued the captain's wife, and through some influence se cured the appointment of paymaster in the navy; that smile must have been a birthday present to him, as I've rarely seen him without it except when he scowls resentfully at Lisette's grandfather." Each day ripened the friendship be tween Jimmy and I.isette. The old man was nearly frantic; he grew thin and wore an habitual strained, worried look, afraid to leave them out of his sight for a moment, he could be seen hobbling up and down the deck all day long. The time drew near when I.isette was to land. All smiles had left their faces. Jimmie was togo on and to goon meant a separation for months. They bade each other good-by, but not a word of love or endearment had escaped Jimmie's lips. "I'd rather die," he said to himself, "than ask a girl to starve on my in come. If ever I'm promoted, then me for Honolulu." "Please forward my fan." wrote Lis ette to the captain's wife, "and have some friends on board write their names on it as a memento of the glo rious days on the ship." "What are you doing?" asked Jim mie as he noticed a young man scrawl ing his name on a fan covered with hieroglyphics. "He's writing his name on your charming Honolulu friend's fan," ex plained a young woman standing near by. "You're the next on the list. Last the best of all.'' "Give it to me; I'll send it to her," said Jimmie, raging with jealousy. When the fan was in his possession he scratched out all the names and in the small space left, wrote: "Darling, what do you want with all those names when you can have mine for keeps? Received notice of my promotion this morning.—Jimmie Horton." Jimmie was again his smiling self when he received a message from Lisette saying: "I'd rather have your name than any other tinder the sun. Grandfather is furious." Rattlesnakes That Swim. There is one curious thing that the O. C. has noticed 011 the Wlnniplseo gess islands —the smaller islands — which are situated say a mile or so from the mainland—the presence of mice and once in a while a rat. Now, the question is, how do these pests get from the mainland to the islands. Swim? One old cottager says that he has a theory that perhaps the parent rates, or mice, come in luggage, like packing boxes, that convey the goods of settlers on the islands. Still, it is possible that they swim from the mainland. The O. C. once told the story that rattlesnakes now and then swam from Rattlesnake island to the mainland shore. Nearly everybody has laughed at the editor for making that statement. Well, if you don't be lieve it, ask Professor Thyng. the teacher of drawing in the Manchester public schools, who owns a piece of land on the Gilford shore, or did own a lot there. He will tell you that rattlesnakes swimming across the lake are not a myth by any means.—Man chester Union. Profusion of Butterflies. A curious phenomenon, attributed to the abnormally hot summer, is be ing observed at Rouen, France, in the form of an invasion of butterflies. At night wonderful scenes are wit nessed when the beautiful insects, of all sizes and colors, swarm in thou sands round two powerful arc lamps which light the square near the Pont Corneile. The air in the vicinity of the square is so thick with butterflies that from a distance the spectacle re ■fetnbles a heavy snowstorm. I SEEMS EASIER TO REMEMBER j Remarks of Writer in Cleveland Plain Dealer Appear to Contain Much Sense. There is a new science called mne monics, which is trying to get itself introduced into our public schools. We have no knock on this science—only it seems to us to be a roundabout way of arriving at facts that you ought to | remember right off the bat. It ap ' pears to work something in this man i ner: "When was Lincoln born?" asks the teacher. "I—l f-f-forget," whines the pupil. "Naturally you do. Go at it right. How many Muses are there in mythol ogy?" "Nine." "Right. Now double that number.** "Twice-nine's-eighteen." "Right again. Multiply it by 100." "1800." "Good. Add the number of Muses to that." "1809." "Ahal That's when Lincoln was born. Why don't you learn the scien tific way of getting at these things?" As we said in the first place, it's a noble science, but we'd rather remem ber dates. —Cleveland Plain Healer. RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY ITCHED SO HE COULD NOT SLEEP "On July 27,1909, we left Boston for a trip to England and Ireland, taking baby with us. After being in Ireland a few days a nasty rash came out all over his body. We took him to a doc \ tor who gave us medicine for him. "My trouble started with a pimple on rash and was all over baby's body, head and face, at different times. It | irritated, and he would scratch it with all his might. The consequence was it developed into sores, and we were afraid it would leave nasty scars on his face. "When we reached England we took baby to another doctor, who said his condition was due to change of food ! and climate, and gave more medicine. : The rash got no better, and it used to I itch and burn at night so bad that the ; child could not sleep. He was com ; pletely covered with it at different times. It was at this time that my mother advised us to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti- I cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for , about nine months the places disap peared. There are not any scars, or | other kind of disfigurement, and baby 1 is completely cured by the Cuticura ! Soap and Ointment. We have had no further trouble with baby's skin. Noth ing stopped the itching, and allowed baby to sleep but Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment." (Signed) Mrs. i Margaret Gunn, 29 Burrell St., Rox > bury, Boston, Mass., March 12, 1911.
