Thus, Deborah declared her inde-

(Special).—Dodd's Kidney Pills are
l thought of in the great
Northwst as las they are any place
Northwest else
in the world. The people nave con-
fidence in them. They do as they
are claimed to do.
Nor is the claim a ::mall one.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are claimed to
curd some of the most dangerous
and deadly maladies that flesh is
heir to, and what is more, they do
it. The proof is positive. Thous-
ands and thousands of reputable
people attest it.
For instance everyone knows
Bright's Disease at one time meant
the sentence of death. Does it now?
Ask Arthur Coldly. of Somerset,
Man. Ho was cured of Bright's Dis-
ease, the last stages of it, by Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure the
lessor disorders of the human sys-
tem arising from Kidney Disease
with just as much certainty and an
even greater promptness. Of these,
Skin Eruptions, such as Boils and
Pimples, arising from an -impure
state of the blood aro not the most
uncommon or the least distressing.
Dodd's Kidney Pills, by improving
the action of the Kidneys purify the
blood, and Boils and Pimples itnu,-
diatoly disappear.
Walter H. A. Noble of Blairmore,
Alberta, writes in this connection:
"I had been troubled with Pimples
all over my face, and Backache. I
tried everything' to cure it, all kinds
failed.

They cured me. They aro the only

in ease of sickness and advise all
other sufferer's to do so."

ary woman. Circus women, however,
are used to it, and work with the
precision that perfect system de -
mends. Some of the women perform
in two or throe acts, each necessitat-
ing a change of costume, tights and
all.
JUST LIKE OTHER WOMEN.
At 4.30 the afternoon show is over
and then comps supper, which is
really a substantial meal. Now
comes an hour and a half of rust.
Gathered about in groups in shady
corners, the women of the circus
come together, bring out their em-
broidery and fancy work, chat, gos-
sip, and talk of everything except
their business, which is rigidly to-
b000d. Seven o'clock sees them again
in the dressing rooms and for the
balance of the evening the rush goes
on never seeming to end,
At 10.30 o'clock the show is out
and the performers go to the sleep-
ing cars, and it is there that the
women of the circus are at home.
The sleepers are arranged exactly
like Pullman cars, with swinging up-
per berths, and are clean, well ven-
tilated and attractive. As a rule
each married couple has another
married couple for chums. Their sec-
tions usually are opposite, and their
natural desire for neatness, from
force of habit, if from no other cause
enables them to decorate their berth
with little articles of fancy work,
slippers, cases, a tiny pair of silken
curtains at the windows, a little
cabinet with a lock upon the door,
toilet articles in racks upon the
bulkheads, snowy counterpanes—ev-
erything, in fact, found in a well ap-
pointed sleeping apartment in a
house.

is one who will pay his wine bill and
card debts, even if he has to marry
in order to get the money.
