"MY ONLY

Says Mrs. Corbett, Are "Fruit-a-tives"
"They Keep Me In Perfect Health"
Wm. ANNIE A. cORBETT
AVON', ON., May 14th. tgi3
"1have used "Pruit-a-tives" for Indi-
gestion and Constipation with most
excellent results, and they continue to
be my only medicine. I am highly
pleased with "Fruit-a-tives" and ant
not ashamed to have the facts published
to the world. When 1 first started,
about siz yearago, to use them, I took
four for a doe, but I cured myself of
the akove troubles and gradually
reduced the dose to one tablet at night.
Before taking "Frult-a-tives" I -took
salts and other pills but the treatment
was too 'harsh. I thoueht I might as
eseil stiff. r front the di;ease as from
the te. treetmotits.
I'inalle, I sew "Fruit -a -lives" adver-
tistel with a letter in which someone
rec.-me:ended them very highly, so I
tried tliten. The results were more then
eetisfaetety and I have no hesitation in
rocennueed:ng them to any other persou.

Perhaps you have not realized how
many of the common faults of telephone
service, as you come in contact withit,
are due to the careless use of the tele-
phone. For example—a subscriber,
instead of looking in his directory guess-
es at the nutnber wanted. The operator
of course rings the wrong number be-
cause she is asked to do so. An inno-
cent subscriber is disturbed, perhaps is
summoned to the telephone anu gets the
explanation from the careless party.
"Oh, they have given me the wrong
number." So the company and the
service get the blame. It is meet im-
portant that telephone users consult the
directory and get the right number be-
fore calling.

just because I've got the Tenth ward
so that it Is safe they Insist all the
money ought to be spent in other
wards. It's coining election time,
though. and Dorsey won't want to
wake :my enemies."
"It's worth tryiug itnyhow," answer-
ed lIarry. "I'll hustle around and
bring all the pressure on the part of
the people I know to bear on Win."
"If the other reformer.; were like that
boy," declared alcatannis impressIvely
to one of his neaten:tilts, "It's more
they would do in this world."
A week later Richard Dorsey, the
head of the organization, the recog-
nized ruler of city politics, was sitting
In his private office, a frown on hie
face. For days the Express, the re-
form mouthpiece, had been printing
stories about the sufferings of the
children on the crowded east side dur-
ing the hot weather and insisting that
a recreation pier was more needed
than the uew pavements in the outside
districts. But Dorsey and several of
his political adherents were financially
interested in the paving coutracts.
"Stirring up all this trouble about a
lot of babies and women who don't
vote," thought the boss angrily, "Why
can't people mind their own business?"
And just they Tom MeMannis was an-
nounced.
McMannis had called to talk over the
political situation in the Tenth ward.
As usual, this ward, the largest in the
city in point of population, was' solidly
for the machine. Dorsey's face bright-
ened up at the first part of his lieuten-
ant's discourse. Then it clouded when
McMannis said positively:
"But it seems to me that we ought
to have that recreation pier anyway.
This bot weather is mighty hard on
the people."
"What can I do?" replied Dorsey im-
patiently. "If the city appropriates
money for the pier it will run over the
debt limit. You know the people at
Albany, and the reformers are just
looking to catch us up on that very
point."
"You might let some of those new
pavements go or have them put in for
half what it is goiug to cost," answer-
ed MeMannis bluntly.
Dorsey looked disgusted.
"What's the use of talking that
way?" he grumbled. "You know
where the money for that deal is go-
ing. A man has to live, and so must
his friends. Seems to me that I didn't
hear any howl from you when we put
dowo the east side sewer. And you
know what that cost and who got the
money. Most of it went right over to
the Tenth ward."
This unvarnished statement of city
finances was somewhat of a facer for
McMannis,
"Well, as long as every one was get-
ting a bit of the coin I didn't see why
I shouldn't myself. ' But It's the truth
1 would give up my share to get that
pier. Sure, If you lived In the ward
and saw the hot kids and the tired wo-
men you would feel the same way
about it."
"Maybe we can do something about
it next year," replied Dorsey, "but just
now it's up to you to do some hard
work for the organization before elec-
tion. You're not going to let this tiara
you against the party, are you?"
"Of course not," answered McMannis
almost indignantly. "You ought to
know better than that. It will be
many a long day from now before Tom
MeMannis votes against the party.
But I think it Is a shame about the
pier," he added obstinately as be left
the room.
Dorsey had not recovered from the
annoyance caused by the discussion of
the recreation pier when Rev. Alfred
Mann was ushered Into the office. If
"Sore, and these Mt days arc hard on
Mr babies."
there was any person In the city for
whom Richard Dorsey had a cordial
dislike, it was Mr, Mann. The feeling
was reciproeated. While web mean-
ing, Mr. Mann was far from tactful.
Ms advocary of the claims of the Oast
side children in the matter of a recrea-
lion pier was euch as to leave the po-
litical boss in a hot perspiration of
rage. In the end, with stronger lan-
guage than Was due the sanctity et the
Oath. Dorsey requested the elergyman
to leave the root, and edded that ne-
bedy but meddling fools wanted the
pier. Neither Mr. Hann nor Roes Dor-
se, appreciated that Barrer Wendel
!tad foreseen the luterview woe14 prob-
ably end this way.
Following Rev. Mr. Mann several
busiuess and professional men Komi-
neut in the cotitniuni'-y„ but declared
ppponents of Dorsey, called on the po-
litical leader and advocated the claiuri
at' the Tenth warders to the recreatiou
pier. The result of these maneuvers
was that the generally silent and self
eoutained boss was exasperated to
such a pitch of irritation that a men-
tion of the recreation pier had the
soothing effect upon him that the wav-
ing of a red flag lute upon a bull. Then
finery Wendell himself was shown in-
to the boss' private office, and with
Wendell, unobtrusive, but keenly alert
to every detail, came Jack Whitney,
one of the reporters for the Express.
"I came to t••ee you about the recrea-
tion pier that seems so much needed
in the Tenth ward," began Harry
ettavely. "I think"—
But ti:' ratienee ef the exasperated
boss at laet gave way.
"You think!" he thundered, "Well,
I think there has been too much fuss
tnade about that pier. It won't be
built. The babies need it! D—n the
babies nitywayl They can't vote!"
"All right," replied Derry cheerful-
ly. "If Butt's the way you feel abut
It, there's no need of saying any more."
Aceompanied by the reporter, he hur-
ried out of the office, for be had e -
Mined exactly the statement he want-
ed. Any modificetion of it would only
weaken Ids position.
The Express was one of the bitterest
opponents of the rule of Dorsey, la
the ball Jaek Whitney looked gleeful-
ly at Harry Wendell.
"
'D --n the babies! . They • can't
vote!' " murmured the uewspaper man.
"What a beadline! Oh, but in a lit-
tle while Mr. Dorsey willbe sorry he
spoke that way. The Express vill
have an extra on the street in half an
hour. Won't that 'D—n the babies!'
please the Tenth ward, whore there
are about a hundred to each tene-
ment?"
"That's all right as .far as it goes,"
replied Wendell, "but we want to put
Dorsey in a position where he can't
deny having said it. I'll draw up an
affidavit corroborating It. Then we
eau get affidavits from Mr. Mann and
others who talked with Dorsey WM
morning. If the Express will publisit
these, it will make our case stronger."
"If the Express will publish them,"
answered, the newspaper man. "If I
know how Mr. Rogers feels about Dor-
sey, 1 think they will be double lead-
ed, with three column headlines, You
get the affidavits, and I'll hurry back
to the office and be writing the story,"
"We'll get out an extra," said the
managing editor to Whitney, "but we
miglit as well wait and get the affida-
vits, too, so as to have a complete
story. You were the only reporter
preeent? Then fume of the other pa-
pers can come out ahead of us."
"And I'll seud a man over to see Mc-
elannie," broke In the city editor.
"Jones, run down to McMannis' place
aud ask hlm If Dorsey is going to do
anything about the recreation pier.
Don't tell him we have other inter-
views on the subject, Just get him to
state, If you can, In the strongest terms
possible that Dorsey says they can't
have the pier. Telephone In what he
says, for we want it for an extra."
By the time Whitney had finished
writing his account of the Dorsey in-
terview the affidavits had arrived at
the Express office, and Jones had tele-
phoned in the interview with Malan-
nis. That worthy, ignorant of the
steps which were being taken to dis-
turb Mr. Dossey's peace of mind, bad
spoken in strenuous terms. Not that
McMannis had any intention of break-
ing from the organization, but his
heart had been set on getting the rec-
. reation pier, and be had brooded over
the refusal of the morning. The city
etlitoe rend the account that Whitney
had written and niter inarkiuts It "dou-
ble lead" sent it te the eoinposing room.
"It looks sensational." observed the
cily editor, "but it is a big story. I
get .e.; when the senile; of the paper he-
els, to veiny into the Tenth ward there
really will be a sensation."
A few minutes later, the newsboys
were enlling out:
"Extra! Extra! All about Boss 'Dor-
sey an' de babies!"
"Better vend a lot of copies over to
the Tenth ward," said the managlue
editor. "I wouldn't wonder if they
would interest aleMannie."
And the paper did interest alcMen-

(dared McMannis angrily. "And he's

"I'll stand by you, whatever you do," •
saki Tim loyally, "But as Dorsey men
neither of us can get a job on a city
wagou in the Tenth ward. There's too
trinity babies."
Awl Thn Collins departed, cursing
tbe folly of Dorsey.
The extra editioa of the Express had
been issued shortly after noon, and by
3 o'clock it seemed as if tnost of the
men and every woman In the ward bad
seen a copy of the paper.
—rn think of him saying that about
the babies," said Mrs. O'Neil, the moth-
er of the fat Johnnie, "And the poor
darliate almost perished with the heat.
'D -en the babies,' because they can't
vote, Is it? Oh, but I wish the women
had a vote. We'd show Mr. Dorsey
what it meant."
And the sentiments of Mrs. O'Neil
were forcibly echoed by all the women
present.
All that afternoon the local hench-
men of MeMannis visited his saloon.
Each gloomily condemned the impru-
dence of Dorsey, and each, at first
timidly and then more boldly, suggest-
ed to MeMannis that it was absolutely
necessary for the Tenth ward to rebel
against the rule of the boss. But Me -
Mann's, bound by years of allegiance'
to the organization, hesitated to de-
clare against It. Early that evening
while he was discussing the situation
with Tim Collins a message came stat-
ing that Dorsey desired to see both of
them at the organization headquarters.
The message was a little peremptory
and did uot add to McMannis' good. hu-
mor. Still he and his lieutenant pre-
pared to obey. A few yards from the
saloon the Tenth ward politicians met
Mrs. O'Neil, accompanied by pretty
Mollie Grady, for whom Tim Collins
had more than a faint affection.
"And did yetu see what Dorsey said
about the babies?" asked Mrs. O'Neil,
stopping McMannis. "You're a good
man, Mr. MeMannis, and we all like
you and know you've done what you
could to get the recreation pier and
other things for the people in this
ward, but good man that you are there
are few votes you can control In the
Tenth as long as you stick by that
Dorsey."
"Well, Mrs. O'Neil," replied McMan-
ills, trying to placate the offended
mother, "I'm loyal to my party, but
you will find me looking out for the
Tenth, my own ward, first."
A moment later he was rejoined by.
Tim Collies, who had stopped to spealc
to brown eyed Mollie.
"I asked her .if she would go to the
picnic with me," observed Tim gloom-
ily, "and she said, 'Are you a Dorsey,
man?' And I says, suppose I am,'
Says she, 'I'll go to no picnics with a
fellow who backs up a man that curses
little babies and says they can die ot
the heat.'"
The ward leader and his lieutenant
looked doubtfully at each other. Then.
eaeli. understood. McMannis called to
Dorsey's messenger, who had been
waiting across the street.
"You tell Mr. Dorsey," said MeMan-
nis tersely, "that Tina and I are to
busy to come now. After election
we'll have more time."
Dorsey and his adherents were not
men to sit quietly In the face of im-
pending defeat. They worked desper-
ately; the whole inf.:mace of the po-
lice and of city employees was thrown
in favor of the organization. Yet each
day It was evident the onee invincibiat
boss was losing ground. The defece
thin of McMannes and the formerly
solid organization of the Tenth ward
proved a heavy blow.
On election night the result was
practically certain long before the to-
tals were known. Tbe uptown dis-
tricts, as had been expected, voted
against Dorsey. Thee came scattering

Use result in the Tenth want eras an-

fight and, leaving the organization
headquarters, sought a Place where

A very young enthusiast at the Cem

With
Weak Back.
Weak back is caused by weak kidneys,
and it is hard for a woman to look after
her household duties when she is suffer-
ing from a weak and aching back, for
no woman can be strong and well when
the kidneys are out of order.
Doan's Kidney Pills go right to the
seat of the trouble, cure the weak, aching
back, and prevent any and all of the
serious kidney troubles which are liable
to become deep rooted into the system
if not attended to at once.
Mrs. Augustus, Jinks, Demorestville,
Ont., writes:—"For several years I
had been troubled with weak back
and kidneys. 1 had terrible dizzy
headaches, and could not sleep at night.
A friend of mine asked me to try Doan's
Kidney Pills, and I did so, and in a short
time was cured."
Doan's Kidney Pills are 50e. per box,
3 boxes for $1.25, at all dealers, or
nailed direct on receipt of price by The
'I'. Milburn Co„ Limited, Toronto, Ont.
If ordering (fixed specify "Doan's."
A hen must be fat to lay well, but
she should not be corpulent. There is
less danger of overfeeding if a dry mash
is kept before the hens in a hopper And
they are then fed as much grain morn-
ing and night as they will clean up
readily with evident relish, neither act-
ing hungry for more nor indifferent
about eating up all that is given. In
addition to this green feed should be
furnished in some form — mange's, clover
leaves, or sprouted oats will serve.
Finally, hens should have meat scraps
occasionally, and all the time, a plenti-
ful supply of sand for dusting and
gravel for assisting in digestion.

Mrs. Charles Lovell, t gassiz, B. C.,
