' ‘ ESHE WAS IN BED ‘EOR THREE YEARS PAIN-RACKED WOMAN CURED Africa and 16,702 in Australia. BY DODD’S KIDNEY PILLS. Strong Statement by Mrs. Jas. Hughes Morley, Ont., Oct. 7.â€"(Special).â€" What Dodd’s Kidney Pills are doing for the suffering Women of Canada Will never be fully known. It is only when some courageous Woman breaks the secrecy that covers woâ€" man and her troubles that a. passing glimpse of their great work is given. For this reason a statement made by Mrs. Jas. Hughes, of this place. is of more than passing interest. “I was a great sufferer for four years," says Mrs. Hughes, “1 was treated by five doctors and a. speci- alist from the U. S. I tried nearly every kind of medicine I could hear of, but none seemed to do me any good. "I was in bed for nearly years. 1 had pains in my spinal column, in my head, over my eyes, across my back and through my left. side. I took fourteen boxes of .Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and now I am strong and able to do a good day's work, thanks to Dodd’s Kidney 'Pills." three ____._._+___.__. GRAND NEW YORK EXCURSION Goes.

There is a grimly humorous anecâ€" dote of the dying Yorkshireman who asked his daughter for a slice of the ham she had just removed from the stove, and was refused on the ground that “Ham’s not for thou; ham‘s for t’ funeral.” It may be capped by one found in "Pages From a. Country Diary," 3. book of sketches of English country life. A curate went one (lay to VlSlt an aged parishioner, a small farmer, whose end was daily expected. Findâ€" ing him rather better on this oc- casion, and propped up in bed, he proposed to read a chapter of the Bible to him. The sick man grateâ€" fully agreed, hut paid scant attenâ€" tion to the discourse, because he was constantly fumbling under his pillow for some form of edible which ‘he mumbled with evident satisfacâ€" tion between his toothless gums. At last the curate stopped reading, and asked him what he was doing. The old man smiled slyly. “Why,” he. said, in a triumphant Whisper, "they bak't some spoonge biscuits agean moy vuneral, an’ hid ’em in the coopboard, but they don’t know as ’ow I vound 'em. andâ€"” ,with a. senile chuckle of delight ~â€" “when I be gone, an’ they come to luke for ’em, they Wun’t vaind none on '0111 left!” - ‘ ____+‘___ ll’fabclâ€"‘.‘Where dees Madge get her good looks from, her father or her mother?” Edytheâ€"“From her fa- ther.

A smart Californian farmer made a remarkable success in a. branch of poultry-farming which is not only novel, but which he claims is doing a good deal to increase and improve the poultryâ€"keeping of the country. As a branch of his poultry- farining he announced some. time ago that he was willing to hire out good laying hens to any wouldâ€"he poultryâ€" keepers, and so great was the deâ€" mand that very shortly be decided to devote himself entirely to this.busi- ness. He began in earnest last year, and this season he had 10,000 young hens for leanding, and he hopes next year to have 50,000 hens. His me- thod of business is to charge three cents (1.}d.) for each dozen eggs laid by the hens lent out. When a hen is nonâ€"productive. So far as the busiâ€" neSS has gone it has been found that. has each hen on the average la3s 150 eggs a year, the money return for the hire being just ls. Gfid. 'All the hens are white Leghorns.

Sweeping is no longer dreaded by the woman possessing a Bissell Sweeper, as it not only reduces the labor of sweeping, but it saves backaches, brightens and preserves the carpets, prevents the dust and dangerous carpet germs from floatâ€" ing about the room and settling up- on the furniture and draperies or from filling the lungs of the opera- tor, thus making the task of sweepâ€" ing a pleasure. In the matter of economy alone, no housekeeper can afford to be without a Bissell, as one will outlast forty brooms. Every Bissell Sweeper is guaranteed.
