■Mrs. Weisslitz, Buffalo, N. Y
cured of kidney trouble byLydiaE.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Of all the diseases known witli which
the female organism is afflicted, kidney
disease is the most fatal. In fact, un
less prompt and correct treatment is ap
plied, the weary patient seldomsurvives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink
ham, early in her career, gave careful
study to the subject, and in producing
her great remedy for woman's ills —
Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound — made sure that it con
tained the correct combination of
herbs which was certain to control
that dreaded disease, woman's kidney
troubles.
Read What Mrs. Weisslitz Says.
"Dear Mrs. Pinkiiam: — For two
years my life was simply a burden, I
suffered so with female troubles, and
pains across my had- and loins. The
doctor told me that I had kidney
troubles and prescribed for me. For
thiee months X took his medicine, but
grew steadily worse. Mv husband then
advised me to try Lydia E. Pink

brought home a bottle. It is ttie great

Green Bay Prelate Will Take Place
of Archbishop Katzer.
Select Ion Made by Congregation of
tile I'ropaituniln Pleases Catholic
Laity uud Clergy In State
of Wisconsin.
a
The report that the congregation of
the propaganda at R jme has decided to
propose to the pope the appointment of
Bishop Sebastian Gebhard Messmer. of
Green Bay, Wis., as archbishop of Mil
waukee in succession to the late Arch
bblshop Katzer is confirmed.
Roman Catholics at Milwaukee are
much pleased with the selection of Bish
op Messmer, of Green Bay, to succeed
Archbishop Katzer. Father Augustin
Schinner, administrator of the Milwau
kee diocese, who was prominently men
tioned himself for the succession, said;
"I expected the selection of Bishop
Messmer all the time. 1 have no doubt
he will be welcome here. He is a man of
great ability."
H. J. Desmond, editor of the Catholic
Citizen, said;
Bishop Messmer is not surprising. He
may be looked upon as logically in line
for such promotion. From personal ac
quaintance I have learned to esteem him
highly. He is notably interested in all
those movements which aim at the mor
al, intellectual and social improvement
of the laity. In those matters where
there are chances of differences of opin
ion Bishop Messmer always has been
classed with the conservative element."
"It is a very good choice," said Very.
Rev. Joseph Rainer, rector of the Sem
inary at St. Francis. "Bishop Messmer.
is a learned man and a progressive one.
While he has not received unanimous
support in this diocese, the difference of
opinion has not been vital, and all will
be pleased at the selection."
Bishop Messmer is an eloquent pre
late, one of the leaders of the German
Roman Catholics of America. He is a

ark, N. J. It was from the latter parish
that he was sent to this diocese, being
consecrated as bishop here March 27,
1892.
During his administration of this
diocese Bishop Messmer has become
highly popular, and his government of
church affairs has given general satis
faction. He is noted for his learning
and piety, and frequently his advice is
sought by clergy outside the diocese on
questions connected with canon law, in
which he is well versed.
While in New Jersey Father Messmer
became prominent with Bishop McFaul
in organizing the National Federation of
Catholic societies, and at the time be
came very intimate with Cardinal Mar
tinelli, who then represented the holy
see as ablegate at Washington. In 1892
Bishop Messmer was spoken of as arch
bishop to Manila, but the authorities at
Rome thought it best to have him re
main in his present position.
At the meeting of Catholic societies in
Chicago in August, 1902, Bishop Mess
mer made a notable address in relation
to the friars in the Philippines.
Archbishop Ireland, it will be remem
bered, had urged Roman Catholics not
to embarrass the Roosevelt administra
tion in its treatment of the friars, but
Bishop Messmer asserted that Roman
Catholics would be unjustifiably weak
if they did not deal with what public
questions they chose, no matter
whether the discussion of these ques
tions had been interdicted by certain
cPurch authorities. Said the bishop:
"Now, to he a good citizen it is nec
essary that a man have an inteligentun
derstanding of all questions in which his
country is involved. He mils' proceed
with a clear mind to the discussion of ali
these issues, and must lend his aid and
influence to their just settlement. He
should not be deterred from thi* patri
otic duty by any outside consideration,
and, although the Catholic citizen should
act in accord with his spiritual advisers,
he should remain firm in what he knows
Is the right path."

When the duke of Koxburghe disap
pointed "eligible" young women in
London by choosing an American bride
many a matchmaker on both sides of
the Atlantic predicted that society's sea

as high rank as Koxburghe's duke, is
heir to a title that of late years has come
to signify a good deal more. He attained
his majority a few weeks ago, and noth

should take the alluring direction of
the United States.
This is Lord Rosebery's oldest son,

Unlike his father, all Lord Dalmeny's
early ambitions tended toward the
army. Whiltf at Eton he passed his ex
aminations for the service with excel

Oxford were over he took a lieutenant's
commission in the Grenadier guards.
No one knows from whence this young
man's marked athletic tastes come, for
his father as a young man did not fancy
sports which required personal exertion.
Lord Dalmeny is a line cricketer, an ex

but in time all obstacles were removed
and the canal was constructed. To the
merchants and traders of southern Eu

it their vessels can reach in a few hours
points which it formerly took them sev

a farmer said at the abattoir the other

than grain and that it produces a finer,

FOOTBALL MAKING.
Muaufurtu *er Glvfn Some In
terentinK Information About
the Btiaineaa.
Lonili
Yes, sir. remarked a well known
maker of footballs, it Is surprising how
few people, even veteran footballers,
have any idea of the amount of labor
and skill that is expended in making
this necessary adjunct of the national
winter game, says London Tit-Bits.
The leather we use is "split" cowhide.
Ordinary cowhide is too thick for the
regulation weight, so It has to be split
into tw'o parts. The outer, or hair side,
is what we make the best balls with.
Previous to splitting the leather has
been soaking in the tan-pits for 10 or
12 months. Some makers cure their
hides in six weeks by "faking" with
chemicals, but leather so treated won't
make a good ball.
The "split" hide is well softened with
dubbin and then passed on to the cut
ter, w ho cuts out the various sections,
which, when sewn together, make a per
fectly round ball. The method of doing
thin is kept a trade secret by most
makers; but I don't mind telling you
that in my factory I use tin plates the
exact size of the sections required. All
the cutter has to do is to place one of
these on the leather and cut out the
shape with a sharp knife. These
shapes are taken in hand by expert
sewers, and soon the outer cover is
ready for the bladder.
This is made of the best Para rub
ber, and involves even more care in its
construction than the leather cover
itself. It is of immense strength, and
is an expensive Item, representing near
ly half the cost of manufacture. The
next operation is the inflation of the
ball. This is done in a second by ma
chinery. and then the ball is laced up.
However, even yet it is not complete,
for it still has to pass through the
hands of the shaper, who pats down any
inequalities in the seams or contour
Qf the ball. It now stands the finished
article, ready to afford exercise and
amusement to the thousands of play
ers and spectators who annually follow
the great winter pastime.
Do we send many footballs abroad?
Yes, we do a large export trade. You
see. Tommy Atkins tates his Soccer
and Rugger balls along with him to
every quarter of the globe; except, per
haps, Central Africa, where it is rather
warm for the game. The missionaries,
too, are good customers, and have in
troduced football to the natives of many
lands. And first-class players some of
these naiives make, too. I am told. I
would give a trifle to see a game be
tween them and one of our crack
elevens, such as Woolwich Arsenal or
Sheffield United.

The natives of Aiaska are a fast dwin
dling race. Their sun is setting. Prob
ably their midday sun never rose higher
than the midwinter sun rises in this lat
itude.
Most of the Esquimaux in Alaska are
gathered at the missions, says the Nome
News, but the traveler will find a few in
villages of two or three or half a dozen
igloos in places convenient for fishing,
as fish is the staple diet of these people.
Starvation and disease have left but a
remnant of once populous tribes.
Contact with the white race has had a
great deal to do with their deterioration,
They like whisky, and like all other na
tive races are not naturally industrious.
Before the coming of the white man
stern necessity made them provide for
the immediate future. The sea supplied
them with most of their food, and there
were wild berries and various kinds of
game on the land to vary their fish diet.
By instinct inherited from a long line
of ancestors they are fishermen and hun
ters, but by contact with the Caucasian
they are makers of curios and traders.
In their new avocations they have be
come dependent to a great extent upon
the white people.
But the higher race is not responsible
for all their ills. The unsanitary state
in which they live is not conducive to
longevity. The impure ajr in the na
tive winter huts, the lack of personal
cleanliness and much of the food the na
tive eats would shorten the days pf the
hardiest people.
The Esquimau has some qualities of
character to be admired. He has often
shared his last bit of food with starving
prospectors or wrecked sailors. He is
bright and ingenous. simple minded as a
child, with a happy disposition that
takes no thought of the morrow. He Is
bad only when under the influence of
liquor.
The government should make some
provision for the Esquimau. He can
be made self-supporting, possibly a con
tributor to the wealth of the world, by
placing him in a line of work for which
nature has fitted him. Provide him with
modern applances for fishing and whal
ing and with proper management he will
become a producer of wealth.

country east of the Mississippi, both be

taken principally, we suppose, from
their respective chiefs—Chotah and
Chichsah. The traditions of the Choc

the time that their ancestors all came
from a country beyond the 'Big Wafers,'
far to the northwest; and the Muskogee,
Shawnee and Ch'erokee tribes halve the

many people have felt about giving en

Gratitude and a desire to help others has
inspired thousands of people to give public

not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has
it happened that so many men of national

a result. Peruna has won on its own merits.

Such endorsements serve to indicate the
