J., is a remarkable man at the age of 98. For 40 years he was a victim of kidney troubles and doctors said he would mever #9», be cured. “I was try- J ing everything,” says 0 Mr. Kollock, “but my back was lame and weak and every exertion sent a sharp twinge through me. 1 had to get up several times each night and the kid- ney secretions contained a heavy sedi- ment. Recently I began using Doan’s Kidney Pills, with fine results. They have given me entire relief.” Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Capital Punishment. According to the World Almanac the following states have abelished capital punishment: Maine, Michi- gan, Wisconsin, Rhode Island and Kansas. It is understood that Kansas has no statute abolishing the death penalty, but no governor will sign a death warrant on account of the pre- cedent of former chief executives. Colorado and Iowa have both restored ijt after a brief period of abolition. Ohio is now agitating the abolition of the death penalty. r What Causes Headache.

A burning cliff which recently aroused fears of a volcanic explosion at Lyme Regis, England, has called renewed attention to a kind of earth fire, not connected with volcanoes, of which a few earlier examples have been known. This phenomenon was observed nearly twenty years ago in anotner cliff of shale about three miles from the same spot, and still earlier the smoldering fires in a cliff of dark blue clay on the eastern side of Weymouth bay attracted much at- tention. The primary cause of such outbursts seems to be the oxidation of iron pyrites, which is often abund- ant in shales and dark clays. The heat generated may become sufficient to set fire to some of the sulphur dis- tilled out, yielding smoke and sul- phurous fumes and the bitumen of some shales may add other inflam- mable material. A British geologist suggests- that spontaneous combus- tion in the latest case has been di- rectly due to the effect on the de- composing pyrites of extreme atmos- pheric changes, the heavy rains that that have followed a fairly hot sum- mer, or possibly to the action of the sea. Trusts in Germany. The trust proper is less highly de- veloped in Germany than in America, but in nearly every branch of indus- try syndicates, agreements and con- ventions or “kartells,” as they are termed, are controlling largely the business situation. There is nothing in German law to forbid any agree- ment among manufacturers or dealers in regard to prices and terms as long as it does not fall within the limits of ihe term “unfairness in trade” or is not “contrary to good morals.” HAPPY OLD AGE Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating. As old age advances, we require less food to replace waste, and food that will not overtax the digestive or- gans, while supplying true nourish- ment. Such an ideal food is found in Grape-Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley by long baking and action of diastase in the barley which changes the starch into sugar. The phosphates also, placed up un- der the bran-coat of the wheat, are included in Grape-Nuts, but left out of white flour. They are necessary to the building of brain and nerve cells. “1 have used Grape-Nuts,” writes an Jowa man, “for 8 years and feel as good and am stronger than I was ien years ago. [ am over 74 years old and attend to my business every day. “Among my customers I meet a man every day who is-92 years old and attributes his good health to the use of Grape-Nuts and Postum which he has used for the last 6 years. He mixes Grape-Nuts with Postum and says they go fine together. “For many years before I began to eat Grape-Nuts 1 could not say that I enjoyed life or knew what it was to be able to say ‘I am well.” 1 suffered greatly with constipation, now my habits are as regular as ever in my lite. “Whenever 1 make extra effort I depend on Grape-Nuts food and it just fills the bill. 1 can think and write a great deal easier.” “There's a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.’ Read “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs. THE NEW BREECHES BUOY. it Is Fitted With Signal Lights and Can Be Used at Night as in the Day. After having been in use for over a century without improvement Or change, the breeches buoy used by or- ganized life saving crews has been improved by a device that has just “been adopted by the United States Life Saving Service. The main dif- ficulty with the breeches buoy as here- tofore constructed has been that at night “when it left the shore 'no one knew definitely. whére it was, whether it had reached the wrecked ship or not or whether any one had got in unless the ‘mariners had lights on the ves- sel. : John W. Dalton of Gloucester, known to mariners all along the Massachu- setts coast, is the inventor of the de- vices. The improvement in question comprises, speaking in general terms, a small case mounted on an inflated rubber cushion and surrounded bY four small hollow posts which are af- fixed to the rubber cushion buoy and on top to a square steel spreader. In the case is a storage battery that operates a set.of lamps. One light, a green one, shows toward the ship- wreck when the device is started out to the vessel; the other light, a while one, shows down through the rubber cushion into the breches, enabling the shipwrecked people to see how to get into tht apparatus. Another white light shows toward the shore until the breeches buoy is occupied, when it automatically turns to a bright red, going back to white again when the passenger is landed. - Under the old system when the breeches buoy was sent out to a wreck it was often hauled back to the shore by the life-savers before it had reached its destination. Now the position of the breeches buoy will always be known to those on shore and on the wreck. The green light moving tow- ard the vessel mutely tells the ship- wrecked passengers that help is at hand and encourages them to hold on until the buoy reaches them. As soon as one of the imperilled mariners gets into the breches the red light signals to those on land to haul the passenger ashore. * The rubber cushion prevents the oc- cupant below from, being injured by the block striking him while being dragged through the surf. Numbers of persons have been severely injured while being saved from a wreck by the big iron traveller block as the vessel lurched back and forth.—From the Scientific American. QUAINT AND CURIOUS.

FARCE AND TRADE REVIEW “DUN'S WEEKLY SUMMARY. Trade Reports Show That the Process of Readjustment Will Consume Considerable Time. New York—R. G. Dun. .& Co.'s weekly review of trade says: : Trade reporis indicate .a little more activity and the percentage of idle machinery decreases, but more re- ductions in wages =and dividends show that the process of readjust- ments will take some time. Weather conditions in all sections facilitate the distribution of seasonable wear- ing apparel and house furnishings, im- proving sentiment, yet retailers are not disposed to replenish stocks be- yond the business actually in sight. More business is slowly coming to the steel mills, but expectations of lower prices has postponed many or- ders that soon will be placed. Pig iron is extremely quiet, more inquir- ies being noted than last month, but little actual business is placed. Coke ovens increase output slowly, al- though normal activity waits for similar conditions at iron furnaces. Railway interests are slowly increas- ing purchases of locomotives, cars and other equipment, but this de- partment and other heavy lines of steel are much quieter than the light- er forms, such as wire and wire /pro- ducts, tin plate and pipe. “Building operations have not re- vived as rapidly as we had hoped. “In the textile industry the most significant development is the unan- imity with which cotton mills, es- pecially in New England, have an- nounced a 10 per cent reduction in wages to take effect at the end of this month. Jobbers report restricted orders and there is also complaint re- gading collections. The export trade in cottons lack feature. As to woolens, the slight improvement noted last week, has continued, but trade is still light, and chiefly in col- ored worsteds. . “Inactivity continues in the New England footwear industry, factories running on short time, as a rule. Many cities report an output of 40 per cent full capacity, and shipments through Boston are about 25 per cent below those of a year ago. Leather is more active, although some lines are dull, and many tanneries are practically shut down. A firmer feeling in the hide market is not ac- companied by many actual changes in prices, but larger sales have re- duced packers’ stocks.” MARKETS. PITTSBURG. Wheat—No. 2 red Rye—No. 2...
