B fir rIPP Ptemarkable Experience of Mr. Barry With New Treatment Vil Sure ly Interest Ali Sufferers. "To every sufferer from back'achC and kidney trouble,' says Mr. Jno. W. Barry. ?353 Brandriff St.. Fort Wayne, Ivdiana, "I want to tell that I was a vict im of backaches for thirty five vears e.ud that like many of my fel"oW-sufferers, I tried hundreds of reimedies without relief. I was so bad at times I could not remove my cloth ini. Someone recommended RZoot Juice to me, just as I am recommend ing it to you, and after taking it as directed I found a speedy cure. I certainly do not hesitate to comniend this great medicine to any victim o these complaints for I know what it means to get relief." The new Root Juice treatment pro metes a flue appetite, makes diges tion perfect so that pure nourishment enters the blood; it strengthens the kidneys and not only drives ont rheu matic poison, but stops its accumn lation. The results are surprisingly ouick. One week's treatment will inake a different person of you. Many have said they would not take five hundred dollars for wha. the juice treatment has done for them. The genuine Root Jui:e can be sup piled by any good druggist but the public is warned against tricky deal ers who offer worthless or inferior imitations upon which they make more profit. The Dickson Drug Store. Thought Concentration. Professor Elmer Gates performs a very interesting experiment by im mersing his hands ind arms to the elbows in separate vessels filled with water just to the point of overflowing. By withdrawing his thought absolute ly from one hand and concentrating it on the other he so expands the blood vessels in the latter by sending an ex tra supply of blood to it that the wa ter in the vessel in which it is over flows quite perceptibly. To further prove this power of thought concentra tion he transfers the thought from one hand to the other without chang ing their positions until the other ves sel overfio -s. Professor Bell, inventor of the tele phone, said th't when driving in the provinces in extremely colI weather, when he was in great danger of having his feet frozen, he able to send an extra supply of blood to t'em by concentrating his mird upon them and thus saved ilmself from a very pain ful experienae.-Nuutilus. Jamaica's Booby Eggs. Trade in booby eggs i. one of the sights of Kingston. Jamaica. Long ago the British seamncn gave the nau "booby" to several. of th species of gannets. because these fow.s are re garded as stupid The eAs are gath ered in vast quandiies on the islets at certain seasons of the year and taken to Port Antonio by the boatload. The arrival of a boat with booby eggs is the occasion of no little exe:itement among the ,negro women, who buy them by the box and then sell them by retail chiefly in Kingston, though they are also sold in other towns on the is land. Though sold mostly by the doz en to housekeepers, booby eggs are also peddled, hard boiled. on the st::eets of Kingston, salt and pepper being pro vided that the purchasers mnay eat the eggs at once- These eggs are about two-thirds the size of an ordinary hen's egg and are quite palatable. The Part of Wisdom. ZEverybody in Middle Bay knew that Mrs. Captain Liscomb was talking about making a visit to her married (aughter in Cincinnati. She had been talking about it for two years, but age and the natural timidity of a woman unused to travel had postponed the great event from month to month un til the neighbors began to wonder whether It would ever come to pass. So one morning, when 'Uncle Billy Evans met Captain Liscomb in Eccles' store, there was a twinkle in his eye as he asked: "Whens Mis' Liscomb going out to Ohio. Daniel?" "Dont ask me!" returned the cap tain, a little peerishly. "I don't know nothin' about it. If I tell her to go she says I want to get rid of her. If [ tell her to stay at home she says F'm mean!

IthA Tyrant and a Terror. Ithsbeen said the life of Frederick the Great as a boy under his father, Frederick I., tirst king of Prussia, was worse than that of Oliver Twist or Smike at Dotheboys Hail. The old king was 'a tyrant of the worst de scription, andi his own family experi eneed him at his worst. Frederick as a boy received instruction in music and Frenech from refugees in Berlin, but when the king learned of it he stopped the music 1,eremptorily. The lad had little liking for military pursuits- His father suspected his son of heresy without having any clear idea c what his owu theology really was. Once in a rage the king almost strangled his son with a1 window cord, and at length matters were brought to a crisis by the prince running away. It was only through diplomatic inter vention that Frederick's life wvas spared, for ne was a soldier, and he had been guilty of desertion. In his father's eves this was a heinous of fense and so grave that a friend who was associated with the prince in his "rebellion" suffered the extreme pen Escapes An Awfal Fate.

A Certain Shot. The aged, wrinkled gamekeeper whistled his dog and scratched his towsled head before turning to the company. "Yes, sir," said he; "the rummiest master I ever had were old Parson Sharpe. As blind as a bat, he were." "And did he go shooting?" exclaim ed the audience in the village work ingmen's club.

'Birds, sir" and then I'd run behind the parson and the dogs 'd run behind me." "And theny" asked the audience. "Then the old gent'd blaze away with both bar'ls." "And did he ever hit anything?"
