Raiiioads Plan Gigantic Improvements Costing Millions of
Dollars— National Prosperity Association, Having
No More Work to Do,' Disbands.
The certain return of prosperity is eloquently indicated in items
i„ ||. e news of the past week.
ir ro m all over the country have come reports of the reopening of
factories after ten months of cessation. Whirring machinery tells of
fiie employment of thousands of men and women who have had noth
ing to do.
While only a short while ago mills were running on half time,
to-day they are rushed with work and are giving employment to all
who apply.
Railroads are feeling the Aladdin-like touch of prosperity and are
planning to expend millions of dollars upon improvements. There has
been a loosening up of the money market so tlu\t funds to carry on the
gigantic projects contemplated are to be had readily.
Correspondents send in glowing reports of condilions-dji all the
manufacturing centres. In the Northwest, the South, the East—
everywhere there are signs of better times.
One positive evidence of the improvement in conditions is given
in the disbandment of the National Prosperity Association, of St. Louis.
Its chairman, E. C. Simmons, explained that, now that prosperity is
swiftly returning, there is no more work for the organization to do. _ .

Dancing Masters Solve Problem
of Clingsome Drapery.
Paris —Women are now wearing
skirts so tight that old-fashioned
dances are impossible, and it became
imperative to devise means to meet
the crisis. If the present styles re
sulted in stopping dancing they would
deprive the dancing masters of a live
lihood.
They met, resolved and forthwith
decreed that waltzes, polkas and all
other dances be danced with shorter
steps until fashion gives women freer
use of their lower limbs.

and How It Was Checked.
Mrs. Lucy Quebeck, Mechanic St.,

trouble and my back
began to ache con
tinually. Every day
it seemed worse.
The least pressure
on my back tortured
me, and I could not
stoop without a bad
twinge. The kidney
secretions passed irregularly with
pain, and I bloated badly. My head
swam and spots flitted before my
eyes. One doctor said I was incurable.
However, I found prompt relief when
I started using Doan’s Kidney Pills,
and the troubles I have related grad
ually disappeared.”

HAD BAD ITCHING HUMOR.
Limbs Below the Knees Were Fair-
Feet Swollen—Sleep Broken——
Cured in 2 Days by Cuticura.
“Some two months agp I had a humor
break out on my limbs below my knees.
They came to look like raw beefsteak, all
red, and no one knows how they itched
and burned. They were so swollen that I
could not get my shoes on for a week or
more. I used five or six different remedies
and got no help, only when applying them
the burning was worse and the itching less.
For two or three-weeks the suffering was
intense and during that time I did not
sleep an hour at a time. Then one morn
ing I trie-d a bit of Cuticura. From the
moment it touched me the itching was
gone and I have not felt a bit of it since.
The swelling went down and in two days I
had my shoes on and was about as usual.
