Mrs. D. Keyser, McConnells
burg, says: "My back ached
constantly and the pains in my
loins were so severe that it was
almost impottnlble for me to bend
over. I had but little strength
'and my housework became a
burden. One box of Doan's Kid

Drug Store, cured me."
DOAN'S MADE A CURE.

now."

At a farmers' institute in a
nearby county a few days ago
one of the attendants reported
,. having sold twelve cows for $12, -
j 000. He told of having cows
that produced on an average
from forty to sixty quarts of
. milk per day. Buying up cows
and then disposing of them, he
said is unprofitable and time has
come for the farmer to realize
that he must raise his own stock.
Per Capita Wealth Now $43.50
On February 1 there was a
grand total of $4,498,060,000 in
circulation in the country, or
$43.50 per captia. This is the
largest measure o f monetary
wealth ever recorded and does
not include the general stock of
money in United States and the
amounts held in the Treasury,
which foots up to the enormous
total of $5,043,240,000. The per
capita wealth of the country as
recorded February 1, represents
an increase over last year's Feb
ruary statement by the Treasury
of more than a half billion dollars
or $504,382,000 to be exact.

HOW AIRPLANE HAS GROWN
Wonderful Results That Have Been
Achieved In fhe Small 8pan of
Thirteen Year.
In view of a recent achievement
in long-distance aero flights and the
uses to which the flying machines
have been put in the European war,
it is interesting to recall that Sun
day a few weeks ago marked the thir
teenth birthday of the airplane. Only
thirteen years and what wonders
have been accomplished! Warfare
has been revolutionized and surprise
attacks rendered almost impossible
by this marvelous invention.
A couple of young men who owned
a bicycle repair shop in Dayton, 0.,
used their spare time to "tinker" on
a flying machine. The neighbors
considered them crazy but harmless.
Finally they hit upon a contraption
to which twin propellers and a 16
horsepower, four-cylinder gasoline
motor were attached a winged af
fair with a movable or elevating rud
der in front, which looked like a
cross between a large eagle and a
nightmare. This machine they took
to the Kill Devil sand hills, near
Kitty Hawk, N. C, and on Decem
ber 17, 1903, made four successful
flights, on one of which the airplane
traveled a distance of 852 feet. And
now aviators go winging their way
across half a continent
SURELY A COLD CHRISTMAS
Testimony That Carried Weight Given
by Last Speaker In a Conference
of Gifted "Rememberers."
Wondel Cold? Not a bit of itt
Why, I remember last Christmas,
when I was in California, the steam
from a passing engine froze hard
and fell on the line in sheets !
Smyler That's nothing! In 1889
the electricity in our telephone ex
change got frozen, and when the
thaw came along all the machines
were talking as hard as they could
for over six hours !
Chansit The coldest Christmas I
can remember was in '84, when the
policemen had to run to keep them
selves warm I
Silently the last speaker was
awarded the palm. .
And a carol-singer fainted.
PROPHECIES FOR THE YEAR.

May 30, some newspaper will call
attention to the thinning ranks of
our Civil war veterans.
July 4, a certain public speaker
will make reference to the Stars and
Stripes or possibly the Star-Spangled
Banner.
First Monday in September ora
tors and newspaper reporters will
make reference to "Labor's holiday."
On a certain Thursday in Novem
ber numerous people will modestly
ask for a leg and a wing and a slice
of the breast.
Several newspapers will print pic
tures of a gentleman named Wood

During August a number of peo
ple will take trips to the seashore or
the mountains.
ONE DRAWBACK.
"This world would be a pleasanter
place if there were not so many fools
in it"
"Yes; but it would be more diffi
cult to make a living." Dallas
News.
NOT FAR WRONG.
First Urchin What's an autocrat,
Chimmie ?
Second Urchin It's a guy wot
owns an automobile. Boston Tran
script. The announcement of Prof. Clinrles
Orny Show of New York university
that "women cannot be friends, be
cause they are not individuals" Indi
cates thnt there is something the mat
ter with his psycholoftlCRl mnl;o-up.
The suggestion of it Chlenjo womnn
fhnt "perhnps his wife Is not a good
cook and he hits dytyepsfa" Is open to
criticism as perhaps unjust to a de
serving woman, says Baltlmere Ameri
can. Not every man whose wife Is a
good eook eats all bts meals at home,
and not every man who develops a
queer streak Is a victim ef lmprfect
nutrition.
BUSINESS FAVOR.
"The manager did that singer a
great favor when he gave him a rec
ommendation as to his singing."
"I should say so. It amounted to
indorsing his note."
GOSSIP OF A HAPPY HOME.
"His wife always gets the last
word."
"Yes. But he usually gets last go
at ilainming the door."

NOT JUST WHAT HE WANTED
Soldier Traveling In Hot Country Might
Have Dispensed With Woolen
Comforters Sent Him.
The darkest tragedy must have its
comic relief. The recent Indian
troop train disaster, when a score of
men died and 200 .were takep to hos
pital through being sent a thousand
miles across the' Sind desert without
ice or aerated water, was no excep
tion. A relative of one of the men who
went through the terrible -ordeal,
sending home word of his own safety,
described how he arrived at Bawal
Pindi, in the last stages of heat-exhaustion,
and found a parcel await
ing him.
"Practically desiccated," he wrote,
"I had scarcely the energy to cut the
string, but curiosity triumphed even
over my desire for bed, the punkah,
and ice water oh, unlimited ice wa
ter! A pal. got up from full length
on the floor and crawled across to
come and see. It might be pineapple
or something! It wasn't It was
those nice, warm woolen comforters
you sent to me at Bulford, whence
they had been forwarded, and. for
which many, many thanks. Perhaps
some day I may be sent to Russia."
TEWA INDIAN NEW YEAR'S DAY
People Have Belief to Which They
Have Not Been Able to Make
Others Adhere To.
. December 81 was New Year's day
to the Tewa Indians.
There are only about 1,200 of the
Tewas in Ave villages; San Juan,
Santa Clara, San Ildefanso, Nambe
and Tesuoue. They hold ancient be
liefs deduced by themselves from
things as they are.
To Tewas, six cardinal directions
are north, south, east, west, above
and below. Each direction is colored
and has an animal" to signify it.
North is green and personified by a
lion.
The Tewas believe the sky is the
husband of the earth. They believe
the sun is a man who walks across
the sky behind a yellow shield in
summer, clad in white deerskins or
namented with beads. In the win
ter he is green. Their year begins
founded upon the belief that the sun
stands still in the sky to mark a new
twelvemonth. ..'

OLD MAID INSURANCE NOW
In Vienna Women Are Able to Obtain
Policies on Chancee ef
Marriage.
A form of insurance that is likely
to prove popular in America has ap-y
peared in Vienna. It is that of insur
ing a girl against being an old maid.
The new form of insurance grew out
of the probability that there Would
be a great shortage of men following
the war and a consequent certainty
that there would not be enough to go
around. '
This insurance is just as business
like and efficient in its arrangements
as is life insurance, according to the
Kansas City Times. Instead of pass
ing upon the applicant's health the
agent bases her acceptability as a risk
upon her degree of beauty, personal
charm and wifely qualities. The
prettiest girls are the best risks, the
homely ones having to pay the high
est premiums.
There appears to be only one dif
ficulty about the arrangement ' Who
is to fix the age at which the insur
ance becomes payable? To claim
the insurance would be tantamount
to an admission on the woman's part
that there is no hope of her winning
a husband. And a great philosopher
has said that a woman resigns the
idea of getting married only with life
itself. And another equally great
philosopher has remarked that hope
springs eternal in the feminine
breast So it would seem the insur
ance company has got all the better
of the arrangement
SARDONIC,
Man on Top Pardon mel The
sidewalk's rather slippery this morn

Man Underneath Yes; that is
true. But have you noticed it is also
hard and cold ?
FOR FUNERAL SIMPLICITY.
Elimination, of professional or
paid singers and a general toning
down in the splendor of funerals of
the dead is urged by the Evangelical
Ministers' association of Atlanta,
Qa. The association adopted resolu
tions asking that funerals be held on
some day other than Sunday where
possible, and that lengthy funeral
sermons be cut down to a fewawords.
Part of the resolutions read: "We
urge upon all people the good form
of utter simplicity in all things per
taining to the burial of the dead."
TRAINING JAPANESE ARTISANS.
A realization of the opportunity
created by the war for Japan to take
the place of Italy in the production
of carved coral has led the Japanese
government, through the marine ex
periment stations, to undertake the
training of artisans in the carving of
coral for sale in Europe and Amer
ica. It is hoped by this measure to
increase the value of coral exports
from the $500,000 received each
year for the crude coral exported to
$35,000,000 for exports consisting
entirely of carved coral.
PORTLAND CEMENT.
Portland cement manufacture is
now established in South Wales on a
large scale. In the extensive area
from Penarth where the new fac
tories have been constructed, west
ward, beyond Aberthaw, cement
making materials of such nature and
quality are found that the product
from the district has already estab
lished for itself a reputation to be
envied. The position of Great Brit
ain in the markets for Portland ce
ment is illustrated by the figures for
the year 1913, when the largest pro
ducing countries were Great Britain
with 3,000,000 tons, Germany with
5,000,000 .tons, and the United
States of America with nearly 15,
500,000 tons.
