PINE TREE BREAD f(]LL SCORE ARE DEAD
GREAT RAILWAY HORROR
KAMSCHATKANS USE THE INNER
BARK OF PINE TREES.
'Macerate It In Water and Bake Goo<4
Wholesome reread—Y!ie Pine
Keeps the Blood Pure and
The Body Healthy.
In Kamschatka the people live ir
■earth-covered pits. Mr. Kennan com
pares the sound of their language to
that of water running out of a narrow-
mouth jug. Their bread is made from
the inner bark of the Pine Tree, mace-
rated in water and baked without flour,
They are a hardy race, the Pine keep-
ing the blood pure and the various or-
gans of the body in a healthy condi-
tion. Consumption is unknown among
them.
A noted specialist in throat and lung
trouble, who established a camp for
•consumptives In the Pine Woods of
Maine, and whose remarkable cure?
there have attracted great attention
from the medical world, says that one-
half ounce of the Pure Virgin Oil of
Pine, mixed with two ounces of Gly-
cerine and one-half pint of good Whis-
ky and used in teaspoonful doses, will
heal and strengthen the lungs, break
up a cold in twenty-four hours, and
cure any cough that is curable. The
Ingredients can be secured from any
prescription druggist at small cost.
Inquiry at the prescription depart-
ment of a leading local druggist elicit-
ed the information that the Pure Vir-
gin Oil of Pine is put up only In half-
ounce vials for dispensing. Each vial
is securely sealed in a round wooden
case, with engraved wrapper, showing
the name—Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure)
guaranteed under the Pood and Drug
act, June 30, 1906. Prepared only by
the Leach Chemical Co., Cincinnati, O.
—plainly printed thereon. There are
many rank imitations of Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure), which are being put
•out under various names, such as Con-
centrated Oil of Pine, Pine Balsam,
etc. Never accept these as a substi-
tute for the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as
they will invariably produce nausea
and never effect the desired results.
A Mortifying Answer.
Richard, aged seven years, in com-
pany with his parents, was visiting a
friend. At the dinner table he was
asked to have some cake. He hesi-
tated.
"Say, quickly, Richard! Will you
have some cake?" said his mother.
Imagine ber chagrin when Richard
replied: "If it's the kind we have at
•home, I don't want any."

Rash Covered F-ice and Feet—Would
Cry Until ~'ired Out—Cpoedy
Cure by Cuticura.
"My baby was about nine months
fild when she had rash on her face
and feet. Her feet seemed to irritate
her most, especially nights. They
would cause her to be broken in her
rest, and sometimes she would cry
until she was tired out. I had always
used Cuticura Soap myself, and had
heard of so many cures by the Cuti-
cura Remedies that I thought I would
give them a trial. The improvement
was noticeable in a few hours, and
before I had used one box of the Cu-
ticura Ointment her feet were well
and have never troubled her since. I
Also used it to remove what is known
as "cradle cap" from her head, and
it worked like a charm, as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Now I keep Cuticura
Ointment on hand in case of any
little rash or insect bites, as It takes
3ut the inflammation at once. Per-
haps this may be the means of help-
ing other suffering babies. Mrs. Hat-
tie Currier, Thomaston, Me., Juno 9,

FIFTY IN HOSPITALS, SOME LIN-#'
GERING AT DEATH'S DOOR.
Train Was Negotiating a Curve at
a Speed of Some Seventy Miles
An Hour.
New York, Feb. 19.—Sixteen pass-
engers were killed outright, four pth-
erfl had died of their injuries at mid-
night and at least fifty more were
more or less seriously injured fol-
lowing the wreck of the White Plains
and Brewster Express on the Rarleni
division of the New York Central and
Hudson River Railroad In the Bronx
of Greater New York Saturday night.
The train was filled with matinee
crowds and commuters and was made
up of two electric motors, a combina-
tion baggage and smoking car and four
passenger coaches. It left the Grand
Central Station at 6:13 o'clock, the
first 8top being scheduled at White
Plains.
At Woodlawn Road the four tracks
run through a rocky cut and take a
sharp curve. When the train reached
the curve, it was, according to pass-
engers, running at a very high speed,
and estimated by some at sixty miles
an hour. Both motors and the smolt
lng car swung safely around the curve,
but the cars following left the rails,
and plunging over on their sides tore
up the tracks, and after sliding a hun-
dred yards collapsed in one mass. Of
those instantly killed by far the great-
er number were women. Many were
mangled be.vond recognition.
Many of the Injured were quickly
extricated from the wreckage, while
others were so pinioned that they
could not be taken out for some time.
Those most seriously Injured were
hurried to the hospitals, while Coro-
ners took charge of the dead as fas'
as the bodies were recovered.
Of the large number injured fifty are
seriously hurt, according to hospital
and police reports, and the death list
may be increased.
Most of the otners are suffering
from lacerations or shock, and will re-
cover.

destroyed. The cat sprang upon the
bed and after awakening its mistress

Explosion in Mexican Mine Does Ter-
> rible Execution.
Laredo. Tex., Feb. 19.—Word has
reached this cty through telegrams
from Monterey of a disastrous mine
explosion which occurred in the La
Conquista Mine No. 3 of the Las Es
peranzas district, in which thirty min
ers are known to have lost their lives
and which may increase the list of
dead and injured to seventy-five when
full 3btalls have been received.
According to meager reports, the ex-
plosion occurred at 7 o'clock Monday
night, shortly after the night shift had
commenced work in the mine.
The explosion Is thought to have
been caused by gas which was lighted
from a defective lamp carried by one
of the miners.
The accident is the most serious
that has occurred in this distrct sine;
the mine disaster in the Marratoran
mines, a year ago, in which nearly one
hundred lives were lost.
Las Esperanzas is the most import-
ant coal mining district in the Repub-
lic of Mexico and supplies fuel tu :i
vast territory, and is a town of about
5,000 inhabitants, made up almost en
tirely of employes of the coal mines.

Dear Sirs: Two year* ago I was a suf-
ferer with kidney trouble; became con-
fined to my bed, the trouble became so se-
vere that I passed blocrl in my urine in
abundance; was treated by tour prominent
physicians, all of whom gave me up as
incurable. 1 began taking Ward's Kid-
ney Pills, and in a short time 1 could see
tnd feel a great improvement; the bloody
irine stopped, my kidneys acted freely
without pain. After taking the two
boxes I was able to be up; sent for more
and continued taking them until I could
feel no symptoms of my trouble. To-dav
I can do hard manual labor. I will glad-
ly answer any inquiry, for I greatly sym-
pathize with any. and ail who are suffer-
ing with this terrible disease and feel per-
fectly safe in recommending to them

Sensitiveness of Deer.
How sensitive deer are In the mat-
ter of food was proved once again
during the hearing of a case at Felt-
ham, England, where three men were
charged with sleeping in a deer pen
in Bushey park. A keeper said they
had pulled down from the racks about
ten shillings' worth of hay, which the
deer would not afterward touch be-
cause It had been lain upon. In fact,
\he deer would not go near the pens,
as the men had slept there.

Fire Record for Last Year.
The fact that when a servant be-
comes master a cruel foe is suddenly
developed is attested by the dreadful
havoc and loss of life occasioned by
fire in the United States within the
12 months covered by a summing up
of these losses for 1906. This record
shows that nearly 7,000 lives were
lost and more than $500,000,000 worth
of property was destroyed by fire dur-
ing that period. In no other country
In the world is the fire loss, in bulk
or pro rata, anywhere near our own.
Last year, owing to the devastating
fire that followed the earthquak^ in
San Francisco, this loss was *.n great
excess of the average, a/erage
for some years past tiaa $200,
000,000 a year.
Proper Method of Walking.
To derive any real benefit from
Walking, the step must be .light and
elastic; swing the body so easily from
one leg to t^-o ;t!:er that Its weight
is not felt. The harmonious play of
the muscles Imparts a supple grace
and litheness that is felt mentally as
well as physically, and produces a
healthy glow, showing that the slug-
gish blood Is stirred to action In the
most remote veins. This manner of
walking, as may be imagined,
strengthens the whole body, giving
tone to the nerves and producing just
ihe sort of healthful fatigue which
encourages sound rest and beautiful
slumber.
Fascinating'
FlaRes
There's something truly fascinat-
ing about the light flakes with their
dainty flavor and crispness, which
persons who have tasted Elijah'?
lamia find hard to resist.
A minister said, "I don't know
rhetlier Elijah was fed on this kind
of food by the Ravens, but the siirht
of these crisp, 'toasty' flakes make?
my mouth water."
They're so appetizing they excite
the saliva, a really valuable start at
the beginning: of a meal.
