I could find no rest and was very uncomfortable at night As my health was good In every other way I could not understand this trouble. It was Just as If all the strength had gone from my back. After suffering for some time I began using Doan's Kidney Pills.

ON Beasts of Burden of In Many Instances Are Larger Than Their Ancestors We Know as RepresentaTo-da- y tives of the Past The study of the remains of extinct monsters has brought to light among other curious things, the fact that In general the animals of the past that survive in developed types were much smaller than their descendants are today. Even some of the tremendous saurlans which look nightmares in the drawings reconstructing them, the Plesiosaurus, for Illustration, ware much smaller than several existing species of whale. This Is not true, however, of the ancestor of the shark, the Carcharodon megaladon, a savage leviathan that measured 100 feet In length; neither is It true of the an- FLOUR OF CORSICA. Used but Produces Inferior Kind of Bread. The chestnut is the wheat of Corsica, and Its flour Is used in the form of bread or polenta by the peasants throughout the Island. The chestnuts are slowly dried over a small wood Are and stored until for required grinding. The mills are of the simplest construction, and consist of a wooden water wheel whose axis turns a millstone which crushes the shelled chestnuts against .a fixed stone. The cheaper grades of flour are of a dirty color owing to the presence of particles of the shells and contain between 11 and 12 per cent of moisture. The composition of different varieties of the flour has been determined recently by M. Comte, who finds that chestnut flour closely approximates wheat flour In Its food value. It contains about the same amount of starch, more fat and cellulose, but less nitrogenous substances (7 to 9 per cent, as against 12 to 16 per cent In wheat flour). Chestnut flour attracts moisture very rapidly, and therefore soon becomes mouldy It unless kept In airtight vessels. has also the drawback of not being easily Influenced by the action of yeast, and thus produces an Inferior kind of bread. Before the Age of Buttons. Persons who read much of historic romance cannpt fail to recognize the request, Truss my points," which has been used by every writer of English from the time of Chaucer. Perhaps everyone who read the phrase did not know that It meant, In common parlance, "lace up my clothes, but that Is what It did mean, and the reason It ceased to be used In actual conversation resulted from the invention of the button and the passing away of the custom of fastening the clothes by lacing.

One of the most Inveterate of practical Jokers was Alvah Raymond, at one time postmaster at Weymouth, and for one or two terms a member of the Massachusetts legislature. He was a very prominent figure during the "P. I L. agitation, and used to say that he was a member of the P. I I double L. which meant Peoples License Law Little louder. While a member of the legislature he was also president of - the Weymouth Agricultural society the year that Gen. Butler was running for governor, and, as one of the attractions of the annual fair of the society, Butler was invited to speak on the fair grounds. Mr. Raymond was noted for his hospitality, and after his speech at the fair, where "flat money" was coined by a breath of the gifted orator, the distinguished guest, together with the officers of the society, were taken to his home, ,where a tempting repast awaited them. When all were seated at the table the host attempted to carve the turkey, but the knife slipped without making a scratch on the carcass. Again he tried, with no better result. A third attempt was a failure, and then the knife was brandished and the bird viciously stabbed and slashed, but to no avail, and with a thoroughthe host ly disgusted expression seized the offending biped and hurled It through the window. Consternation was pictured on the faces of the guests, and the host ap- - In the Spring mans fancy yovintf Often turns to tKouaKta of Enfaisment Rinds. Wo have goad before wa ar ring leadera.

In a book Intended for children, but of a character so Instructive and entertaining that older children are likely to be fascinated by It, Prof. E. Ray Lankester, director of the natural history departments of the British Museum, has clearly shown the relationship of some modern mammals with the peculiar animals whose remains are found in old strata, and drawn some interesting comparisons. Prof. Lankesters book, entitled "Extinct Animals, published In this Country by Henry Holt & Co., is not solely devoted to the monsters of a million or so years ago, but to a vivid reconstruction of some of the creatures found In the Mesozoic and Tertiary systems. All of these were not, of course, monsters; Indeed, some of the earliest mammal remains found are exceedingly small. It Is a big mistake, says Prof. Lankester, "to conclude that it is a law of nature that recent animals are all small and insignificant, as compared with their representatives of the past. That is simply not true. Recent horses are bigger than extinct ones, and much bigger than the threetoed and four-toeancestors of horses. Recent elephants are as big as any that have existed, and much bigger than the earlier elephantine ancestors. There never has been any creature of any kind mammal, reptile, bird or fish in any geological period we know of, so big as some of the existing w'hales, the sperm whaie,( the great rorqual and the whalebone whales. "It is true that there were ehor-mou-s reptiles in the past, far larger than any living crocodiles, standing fourteen feet at the loins and measuring eighty feet from the tip of the snout to the tip of the tall; but their bodies did not weigh much more than that of a big African elephant, and were small, compared with whales. Although evolutionists have not yet been able to complete the lines of ancestors of man, the ancestry of the horse Is believed to be completely accounted for. The big draught horse and the swift race horse are descendants of a little animal that lived a few million years ago that was no larger than a fox. The remains of this curious animal have been found in the Eocene. It had four toes on Its front feet and three on its hind feet. The modern horse, it should be remembered, walks on single toes, the others having practically disappeared. Many of the extinct monster? were herbivorous animals. This is true of some of the great Dinosaurs, which measured from fifty to eighty feet in length. There were others, however, Megalosaurus, for instance, which was not quite as large, but for all that a very ugly and ferocious beast that could successfully attack the giant Brontosaurus and lay him low. it is not definitely known that man existed In the days of the great Dinosaurs, but he Is known to have been on earth Salt Lako City.

There Is a group of islands to the south of New Zealand called the Sisters, or Seven Sisters, which are reputed to be subjected to a practically constant rainfall. The same may be said of the Islands and mainland of TIerra del Fuego, saving for the difference that the rain often takes the form of sleet and snow. On a line running round the world from four to eight or nine degrees there are patches over which rain seldom ceases to fall. This is called the zone of constant precipitation,' but at the same time there are several localities along It with very little rainfall. Af on Tombstone.

The person who buys and eats must protect himself and family, and he has a right to, and now demands, a law under which he can make Intelligent selection of food. Many pure food bills have been introduced and some passed by State legislatures; many have been offered to Congress, but all thus far seem objectionable. It has seemed difficult for politicians to formulate a satisfactory bill that would protect the common people and yet avoid harm to honest makers and prevent endless trouble to retailers. No govt commission or officer has the right to fix food standards, to define what the people shall and shall not eat, for what agrees with one may not agree with another, and such act would deprive the common citizen of his personal liberty. The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., perhaps the largest makers of prepared foods in the world, have naturally a close knowledge of the needs of the people and the details of the business of the purveyors (the re-- t grocer), and, guided by this experience have prepared a bill for submission to Congress which Is Intended to accomplish the desired ends, and Inasmuch as a citizen of the U. S. has a right to food protection even when he enters another State, it Is deemed proper that the govt take control of this matter and provide a national law to govern all the states. A copy of the bill Is herewith reproduced. Sec. 1 governs the maker whether the food Is put up in small packages sealed, or In barrels, boxes or otherwise. Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may open a barrel and sell the food in small quantities. When he puts the goods into a paper bag he must also inclose a printed copy of the statement of the maker which was affixed to the original pkg., and inasmuch as the retailer cannot undertake to guarantee the statement of Ingredients he must publish the statement of the makers and add his own name and address as a guarantee of his selling the food as It Is represented to him, which relieves the retailer of responsibility of the truth of the statement and throws It upon the maker, where It properly belongs. The remaining sections explain themselves. The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., for example, have from the beginning of its existence printed on the outside of each and every pkg. of Postum and Grape-Nut- s food a truthful and exact statement of what the contents were made of in order that the consumer might know precisely what he or she was eating. A person desiring to buy, for instance, strictly pure fruit jelly and willing to pay the price has a right to expect not only an equivalent for the cost, but a further right to a certainty as to what he eats. Or he may be willing to buy at less cost a jelly made part of fruit Juices, sugar and a portion of glucose. But he must be supplied with truthful information of the ingredients and he permitted to use his personal liberty to select his own food accurately. The people have allowed the slow murder of infants and adults by tricky makers of food,- drink and drugs to go on about long enough. Duty to oneself, family and nation demands that every man and woman join In an organized movement to clear our people from this blight. You may not be able to go personally to Washington to impress your Congressmen, but you can, in a most effective way tell him by letter how you desire him t represent you. Remember the Congressman Is in Congress to represent the people from his district and If a goodly number of citizens express their views to him, he secures a very sure guide to duty. Remember also that the safety of the people Is assured by Insisting that the will of the people be carried out, and not the machinations of the few for 1 sellsh interests.

To be told by maker or retailer that tho food Is "pare Is not satisfactory. Is, and not try to kill It by a heavy tax. Manufacturers sometimes try to force measures in their own Interests, but contrary to the Interests of the people and the labor trust is always active to push through bills drafted in the interest of that trust but directly contrary to the interests of the people as a whole. Witness the bill by which labor unions seek to tie the hands of our courts and prevent the issue of any order to restrain the members of that trust from attacking men or destroying property. Such a bill Is perhaps the most infamous Insult to our courts and the common people ever laid before Congress and the Representatives in Congress must be held to a strict accountability for their acts relating thereto. But when bills come before Congress that are drawn in the interests of all the people they should receive the active personal support of the people and the representatives be Instructed by the citizens. The Senators also should be written to and instructed. If, therefore, you will remember your privilege and duty you will at once now write to your Congressman and Senator on this pure food bill.
