HIS WIFE PACKED THE TRUNK.

Therefore the Man Hesitated Before Taking Anything Out. A man on a business trip arrived in town and went to ir hotel. Shortly after a friend called and was shown up to his room. He found the traveler sitting in a chair, surveying with a gloomy countenance a trunk which stood against the wall. “What’s the matter?” asked the caller. “I wanted to get a suit of clothes out of that trunk,” was the answer. “Well, what's the difficulty—lost the key ?” “No, I have the key all right,” said the other, heaving a sigh. “I’ll tell you how it Is. My wife packed that trunk. She expected to come with me, but was prevented at the last moment To my certain knowledge she put In enough to fill three trunks the way a man would pack them. If I open It the things will boll up all over the room and I would never get half of them back. Now, what I’m wondering about Is whether it would be 1 cheaper to go out and buy a new suit of clothes of two additional trunks.” — Tit Bits. ,

A Wonderful Discovery.

Broadland, 8. Dak., March 28. Quite a sensation has been created here by the publication of the story of G. W. Gray, who, after a special treatment for three months, was prostrate and helpless and given up to die-with Bright’s Disease. Bright’s Disease has always been considered Incurable, but evidently from the story told by Mr. Gray there Is a remedy which will cure Lt even in the most advanced stages. This is what he say§: “I was helpless as a little babe. My wife and I searched everything and read everything we could find about Bright’s Disease, hoping that I would be able to find a remedy. After many failures my wife Insisted that I should try Dodd’s Kidney Pills. I praise God for the day 'when I decided to do so, for this remedy met every please of my case and’in a short tim& I was able to get out of bed, and after a few weeks’ treatment I was a strong, well man. Dodd's Kidney Pills saved my life." A- remedy that will Cure Bright’s Disease will cure any lesser Kidney Disease. Dodd’s Kidney Pills are certainly the most wonderful discovery which modern medical research has given to the world.

WESTERN CANADA HAS AN EXCELLENT CLIMATE.

The Saskatchewan Valley Very Highly Favored. 4n interesting feature of Western Canada is ’its climate. Those who have made a study of it speak highly of it. The Canadian Government Agents are sending out an Atlas, and at the same time giving valuable information concerning railway rates, etc., to those Interested In the country. As has been said, the climate Is excellent. The elevation of this part of Canada is about 1,800 feet above the sea, about twice that of the average for Minnesota. It is a very desirable altitude. The country” has a very equable climate, taking the seasons through. The winters are bright, and the summers are pleasantly warm. R. F. Stupart, director of the meteorological service for Canada, says: “The salient features of the climate of the Canadian northwest territories are a clear, bracing atmosphere dusting the greater part of the year, and a medium rainfall and snowfall. The mean temperature for July at Winnipeg is 6G, and Prince Albert 62. The former temperature Is higher than at any part of England, and the latter is very similar to that found In many parts of the southern countries.” At Prince Albert the average dally maximum In July Is 70 and the minimum 48. Owing to this high day temperature with much sunshine, the crops come to maturity Moisture is ample In the Saskatchewan valley, being about 18 Inches annually. It is notable that about 75 per cent of the moisture falls during the crop months. Thus, Western Canada gets as much moisture when it Is needed, and with several hours more sunshine daily than land further south gets during the growing season, It Is not difficult to understand why crops mature quickly and yield bountifully. Winter ends quickly, sowing Is done during April and sometimes fn March. Harvest comes in August, about the middle. Cyclones, blizzards, dust and sand storms are unknown. Indians and negroes, ns a rule, are possessed of keener hearing than white people. All creameries use butter color. Why not do ns they do— use JUNE TINT BUTTER COLOR. Young men often lose their heads in winning the hearts of women.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

— R. G. Dun & Co.’s NOV Yolk. Weekly Review of .Trade ■ —— hJ says: ■< Improvement in trade and industry continues, favorable reports largely out ; numbering adverse influences. The most important event of the week was thg two-thirds vote by the bituminous coal miners to accept the proposed reduction in wages. This will probably prevent a serious struggle that would paralyze manufacturing just when it is beginning to revive. Complications have arisen in the local building trades that retard structural work*.. but a settlement is anticipated and the open weather is stimulating outdoor work at other points. Retail distribution of Easter goods steadily expands and dealers’ stocks are being depleted because of conservatism in initial purchases. This promises large supplementary jobbing and wholesale orders as the season advances. Traffic delays arc still causing complaint, and the movement of exhibits to the St. Louis exposition provides a temporary feature of importance. Railway enrnings thus far available for March show a decrease of only .8 per cent as compared with last year’s figures. Another week has brought no check to the progress in the iron and steel industry. Improvement does not come suddenly, nor is there any inclination to advance juices by bounds, as in the boom four years ago. This conservatism will bring beneficial results if continued. All divisions of the pig iron market are more Active and the level of prices tends gradually upward.

Final distribution of neCnlCdQO. cessities was handicapped ___J throughout most of the week owing to the severe snowfall. The retail trade suffered considerably in its volume, but subsequently made some'recovery, although not up to normal conditions. The same cause obstructed the progress of outdoor work and delayed freight forwarding. Receipts of live stock have' shown further diminution, but all other farm products except corn were in liberal supply and heavier than the same week last year. Activity in manufactures made headway, and new business appeared to a fair extent in mill, factory and lumber products. The jobbing trade has disclosed no notable abatement, the markets being well attended, and purchases in the staple lines reached a satisfactory volume. Selections were welt distributed in dress fabrics, cottops and clothing, with the demand exceeding; the previous week’s in shoes, rubbers and women’s apparel. Dealings in tobacco, sporting goods and automobiles were increased, and good orders were placed in groceries, canned goods and hardware. Mercantile collections were reported less prompt on city than country bills. The recently noted improving tendencies in iron and steel were confirmed both in the aggregate’ business negotiated and in prices. Receipts of lumber ran 35 per cent short of a year ago. Grain shipments were 2,592,156 bushels, which is 4 per cent under those of a year ago. The buying of coarse grains was better than of wheat, but the market had a weak tone throughout and prices declined under the pressure of heavy offerings. Compared with the closing a week ago wheat fell 3% cents per bushel and both corn and oats 1% cents. Provisions were in lessened demand, foreign orders being scarce, and values shrunk as follows: In pork, 75 cents per barrel; in lard, 52 cents, and in ribs, 50 cents. Receipts of live stock were 278,915 head, compared with. 257,09G head a year ago. Choice beeves declined 10 cents per hundred weight and heavy hogs 5 cents, but the best sheep advanced 15 cents.

SAFE DIET RULE.

Eat the Smallest Amount of Food Ee* aential to Preserve Health. How shall one determine, then, bow much, food to eat? Too much'mystery has been thrown about this subject Let your sensations decide. It must be kept in mind that the entire function of digestion and assimilation is carried on without conscious supervision or concurrence. It should be entirely unfelt and unknown, says the Century, except by the feeling of bienetre which accompanies and follows Its normal accomplishment. Satiety is bad. It implies a sensation of fullness in the region of the stomach and that means that too much food has been taken. The exact correspondence In a healthy animal, between the appetite and Die amount of food required is extraordinary. As a rule, the meal, unless eaten very slowly, should come before the appetite is entirely satisfied, because a little time Is required for the outlying organs and tissues to feel the effects of the food that has beep digested. If too little has been taken It Is easy enough to make it up at the next meal, and the appetite will be only the better and the food more grateful. No one ever sorry for having voluntarily eaten too little, while millions every day repent having eaten too much. It has been said that the great lesson homeopathy taught the world was this: That whereas physicians had been in the habit of giving the patient the largest dose he could stand, they have been led to see that their purpose was better subserved by giving him the smallest dose that would produce the desired effect And so it is with food. Instead of eating, as most people unfortunately do, as much as they can, they should eat the smallest amount that will keep them In good health.

Every physician consulted said I had liver trouble, but their medicines did me no good. Just before I began using Doan's Kidney Pills I was almost paralyzed. I could hardly stand on my feet because of the numbness and lack of circulation. Had a knife been thrust into my kidneys the pain could not have been more intense. My sleep was disturbed by visions of distorted figures. The kidney secretions were annoyingly irregular and I was tortured with thirst and always bloated. I used seven boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills. The bloatipg subsided until I weighed one hundred pounds less, could sleep like a child and was relieved ot the pain and the irregularity of the kidney action. My circulation is good and I feel better in every way.” ’ A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mrs. Jackson will be mailed on application to any part of the United States.
