A number of interesting books have also been lately added to the reading circle.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Chirstie Vick Writes An Interesting Letter From Seattle. Seattle, Mrch 4, 1910. F. E. Babcock, Rensselaer, Ind., Friend Babcock: I mailed you a copy of The Seattle Times last night and am sending you another copy of to-day’s containing an account of the snow-slide in the Cascade mountains on the Great Northern Ry., in which it swept a G. W. train off the track and ddwn 'the mountain at Wellington, Wash., 106 miles from Seattle, killing 118 people. The G. W. track for a distance of 9 miles is swept away. I was in the main office of the G. W. here yesterday to see them in regard to my folks coming out here over their line, and they said it would be April Ist or later before they could run a train over the main line. It was a terrible catastrophe. The train that was swept away was what is known as the Spokane local, and had been stalled in the mountains a week. I am working every day, rain or shine, now on the new depot for the Union Pacific and The Oregon and Washington Ry’s. It is to be a very fine building, 5 stories high, of reinforced concrete, terre cotta, brick and stone. Thompson, Starrot & Co., of New York City are the contractors, and you have to be a union man and carry a card before you can get a job on it. The wages are Ji a day, 8 hours work, start at 8 a. qp>., % hour for dinner and quit at 4:30 p. m. It is ve?y warm here now and rain nearly all the time, day and night. I worked In the rain to-daj and it is raining to-night. After you live in Seattle a while you get used to it and don’t pay any more attention to the rain than a duck. Trusting yourself and family are well as it leaves me well and hearty and feeling better than I ever felt in my life, I will close with best regards to you and my Rens-

eelaer friends.

MR. AND MRS. JAMES AND MARY McConahay of Monticello

Writes Letter Which May Be o< Great Interest to Skin Sufferers of tihs Oty. Mont’cello, Ind., Apr. 12, 190». I have been thinking for sometime of writing you to tell you what wonders D. D. D. has wrought in the cure of my wife. She had been afflicted with that terrible disease Eczema in its most malignant form for thirteen years. She had doctored with many of the most prominent doctors in various towns but failed to get relief. We had about given up all hope of relief when one day my eye dropped on your ad. D. D. D. has made a complete cure. It took fifteen bottles but had we been governed by directions I am satisfied that from six to ten bottles would have brought the same results. I consider my investment in D. D. D. the best I ever made, for my wife’s condition was terrible. At one time all her finger nails came off. The trouble was on her hands and the soles of her feet. Should any doubt that this testimonial is not genuine, if they will write a letter enclosing a two cent stamp, I will be glad to answer all questions. JAS. AND MARY McCONAHAY. So many convincing statements, similar to the above, have been made to us privately by sufferers from aggravated skin diseases to whom we have sold the D. D. D. Prescription, that we feel bound to give it our unqualified endorseBy special arrangement with the D. D. D. Company we can furnish anyone who has not tried the remedy with a special size bottle for 25 cents. B. F. FENDIG, Rensselaer, Ind. °
