ttetimeny of what Jam-Buk has, done for
Ihomelf and her husband: --
"'Some time two my husband was touring

In the car had a son, who in some manner
i antracted a serious skin disease, and my bin -
bend, unaware of it, caught this from him.
Be was all broken out in sores, which gave
meat pain, and he tried first one retnecy
and then another, but none of. them did him
any good,
"When al) else had fatted, we finally de-
cided to try Zam-Bilk. and see if this balm
wonld succeed in healing the sores and etop-
aring the itching and Irritation. I am pleased
to say that a few applications of Zein-Buk
made a marked improvement, and persever-
ance tar a short time with Zasp-Buk effect-
ed a complete cure,
"About the same time sores also broke
out all over my back, and spread rapidly.
until my back seamed one big sore! This
was very painful. and as Zam-Buk had proved
LSO beneficial for my husband, I determined
to give it another trial. My nurse rubbed
goy back well with Zam-Buk. We continued
with this treatment. and in a remarkably
shoat time. considering the seriousness of the
ease. my back was quite cleared of the aw-
ful soros.
"On still another occasion I had need to
use Zam-Buk. While cooking something on
the stove, I happened to burn my finger
very badly, I aglied zero -Butt, and bound
up tbo finger. In the morning the pain bad
ceased and the bum healed nicely"
For akin diseases, eczema, ringworm, blood -
poisoning. and all kinds of eruptions, Zam-
Bub le absolutely without equal. It also
cures cuts. burns, bruises, sprains, scratches,

Little James had just been initiated
into the mysteries of the first of Aprf].

livelong day playing pranks on all the
family. Bedtime came, and finally he
had sobered down enough to say his
evening prayer. beginning with the usual
petition, "Bless father an' mother, gran'-
rrta an' Uncle Joe," with the customary
list of playmate's,
"An".—an'--" he went on, `'bless James,

WHAT CARELESSNESS COSTS. '.r
Running an Elevator Back After Pass-
ing a Floor Means Half a. Cent.
Even the elevator paAcengers and the
crperai or can throw away mime yfor
the owner of a building. \ot counting
the near and tear on the machinery,
cables and other equipment, the exlwnse
of running a car back to a flour which it
lied passed a few inches has a noticeable
(fleet on the monthly cost sheet. When
an electric elevator starts up or down,
empty or Ioa.cled, the first four secinrds
after throwing the lever eoet as much
rnoni't' air traverp,ing three floors after
full speed is attained. Reducing this to
figures. ►„r a large size 'passenger ele-
vator, it is safe to say- that it Costs half
it eent to et.,ut it,
'fake a twelve -storey building with
flee Omit ors, As:,urne that itt each trip,
beth up and down, two errors were
made. partly owing to the passengers
and partly to the operator. Thus for
evert round trip of each elevator there
will be four erorrs made in bringing the
ear to the proper level, Assuming these
to cost half a cent each there will be a
loss of 10 vents in the time required
far all the eliretors to make one round
trip. In au office building with five ele-
vators running continuously for eight
hours at twenty round trips an hour
or 160 round trips a day ench, the added
expense would be $16 a day.
This in a building where traffic is
heavy all day-, as in those of the finan-
cial district, where messengers are con-
tinually going in and out of the build-
ings and the ears are large, it can be
seen that this item is to be seriously
considered. With 300 working days a
year tide loss, counting wear and tear,
could easily amount to $4.000 if elec-
tricity were paid for at 1.0 eents a kilo-
watt hour. The more rapid depreciation
of the controller, magnets, contacts,
motors, (sables and power transmission,
such as the steel worm anti the bronze
rear wheel, are all items which it would
be difficult to measure aecurately.

MISSOURI WiLLOW FARM.
Tops as Well as Roots Used in Hold-
ing Shifting River Banks.
East Kansai; City is one of the most
important centres in the Missouri Val-
ley in the briefness of shipping willows.
In the Inst three months alone the Kan-
sas Oily Southern Railway has hauled
down there 140 flat car loads of trimmed
willows, and is taking ant more as fast
as the willow plantations can furnish
the crop.
The roots of the willozrs keep the sand
from ehifting along the river banks. but
the use of the tops of it'illnws in fighting
currents of water is comparatively new.
Government work with willows requires
that the trees shall be more than twelve
feet high and between g and 21,;; inches
in diameter at the butts. After a patch
of these trees has been cut the ground
looks like a Stubblefield of Corn. The
new sprouts. however, look more like a
field of wheat --if wheat only had that
peeuliar reddish tinge that willows take
on at this time of the year. In two and
a half to three years after cutting wil-
lows will grew ftp again to the size re-
quired for dikes or for plaiting into
mats.
The willows now being bonglit by the
railway are of no use in checking the in-
roads of the Arkansas Rifer between
Spiro and Fort Smith. Ark. .The dikes
that are being constructed run out into
the river 150 feet and are of willows
held in place with large steel cables.
Since December 11th nearly 80 carloads
of trees—not all of these willows --have
been dumped into the river.
The sand filling the crevices between
the bundles of willows makes a strong
and economical pier. The steel eable9 in-
sure the safety of the pier until the and
has done its work.
In cutting and trimming the willows
the harvesters'use nothing but ordinary
cork knives.—Kansas City Star.

What Thos. ]lScDolnaid says of
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
He Had Larne Back, Kidney Disease
and Heart Flutterings, anti One
Box Cured Him.
Shubenaeadie, Rents Co„ N. S., May
10.—(Special).—"I suffered from Lame
Back, Kidney Disease and Heart Flut-
terings, caused by cold and a strain, for
three years I was looking over some
papers and save Dodd's Kidney Pills ad-
vctrtised and I bought one box which
completely cured me. Dodd's Kidney
Pills are .wonderful."
That is the simple, straightforward
statement of Mr. 'llamas McDonald, .
shows how quickly Dodd's Kidneys.
Heart Fluttering ie another symptom.
It is caused by bleed, d, from which the
eick Kidneys have tn:led to strain the
impurities, increa':r _* the work of the
heart. Dod1.'s KiSee y Pills make the
sick Kidneys well, the lame back dis-
appears, the 'blood. is petrified, the heart
isrelieved and the flutterings stop.
If the case is of long standing, it may
take longer to cure it, but Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills never fail to do it.
His Absorbing interest.
The play was one of Shakespeare's
tragedies. Mrs. Jimmons and her little
boy, having been unable to secure seats
in the parquet, were well located in the
front row of the first balcony, where
they could see better and hear almost as
well as if they had been further forward
on the main floor.
Mrs. Siumuons was agreeably surprised
at the interest that Bobby appeared to
take in the sombre drama. He sat lean-
ing forward, with his elbows on the
ousbioned railing in front of him, resting
his head en his hands, deeply absorbed.
As the curtain went down on the first
aft he straightened up.
"Well, dear, how do you like Shake-
speare?" asked his mother. "Are you en-
joying the play?"
"Mamma,' ' said Bobby, with the air of
one who has made a great discovery,
"there are sixty-nine men here that have
got bald spots on tap of their heads!
I've counted 'em five times!"—From the

'' TIM BISHOP'S CHOICE.
A celebrated Anglican, divine, the late
Bishop of Rochester, who had been ail-
ing for some months, decided to consult
Sir Frederick Treves, the noted surgeon.
After a careful examination, air Fred-
erick pronounced his verdict and added,
"Your Lordship must go to Algiers or
some winter resort on the Riviera."
"Inipoesible." replied. the ,Bishop,
"quite impossible, I have too much work
to get through"
"Well," said the doctor, "you must
make your choice. It is either Algiers
or heaven."
"Dear me!" exclaimed the bishop, with
a sigh, "Then I presume is must be Al-
giers!'

A GUkRANTEE OF SkFETY
Most of the "soothing" syrups and
powders advertised to cure the ills of
babies and young children contain
poisonous opiates, and au overdose may
kill the child. Baby's Own Tablets are

ment analyst that they contain no op-
iate or harmful drug. They can be giv-
en with absolute safety to a new born
child. They cure all those minor ail-
ments' originating in disordered stom-
ach or bowels. Mrs. F. 'Young, River

Russian Women Cigarette Smokers.
"Russia is .the only country in the
world where women smoke cigarettes in
public without attracting attention," said
R. E. Denison, who formerly -was in the
consular service in that country. .
"It is customary for Russian ladies to
go into restaurants or confectionery
stores in the afternoon, and while enjoy-
ing a con of chocolate to puff a cigarette.
Nothing is thought of it and it does not
attract notice. But Russia is the great-
est cigarette Making country in the
'world. More cigarettes are consumed
there in a year than in several other
European eonntries combined. Turkey
• is popularly believed to be the greatest
cigarette country, but it is, not in .14
