FEELS LIKE
A NEW WOMAN
As Lydia EL Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound Dispelled
Backache, Headaches
and Dizziness.
Piqua, Ohio.—" I would be very un-
grateful if I failed to give Lydia E.
I Pinkham's Vegeta-
ble Compound the
praise it deserves,
for I have taken it
at different times
and it alwayB re-
lieved me when
other medicines
failed, and when I
hear a woman com-
plain I always rec-
ommend it Last win-
ter I was attacked
with a severe case of organic weakness.
I had backache, pains in my hips and
over my kidneys, headache, dizziness,
lassitude, had no energy, limbs ached
and I was always tired. I was hardly
able to do my housework. I had taken
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound on one other occasion, and it had
helped me so I took it again and it has
built me up, until now I feel like a new
woman. You have my hearty consent
to use my name and testimonial in any
way and I hope it will benefit suffering
women."—Mrs. Orpha Turner, 431 S.
"Wayne St., Piqua, Ohio.
Women who are suffering from those
distressing ills peculiar to their sex
should not doubt the ability of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to re-
store their health.

Referred to as "The Largest TelO>
•cope in the World" and Will
Cost Nearly 100,000— Its Lo-
cation Not Yet Determined.
Ottawa, Can.—The Canadian gov-
ernment will soon possess a more
powerful reflecting telescope than any
now In existence. It haB been re-
ferred to in the newspapers as "the
largest telescope in the world," but
this description is misleading for two
reasons; first, because its aperture,
72 Inches, is to be the same as that
of the famous Parsonstown reflector,
built by Lord Rosse in 1842; and sec-
ond, because by the time the Canadi-
an instrument is completed it now
Beems likely that the 100-inch reflec-
tor which has long been under con-
struction for the Mount Wilson Solar
observatory will also be ready for
use. The Canadian telescope will,
however, be a much more efficient in-
iMrument than Lord Kosse's. Not
only will the mirror be much su-
perior. but the mounting will enable
the telescope to be worked to the full
advantage. The Parsonstown reflec-
tor has an altazimuth, not an equa-
torial, mounting and is operated un-
der such difficulties that comparative-
ly little use has ever been made of
It.
Contracts for the new telescope
have just been awarded to J. Bra-
shear for the mirrors and other op-
tical parts, and to Warner & Swasey
for the mounting. The disk for the
principal mirror will be made by the
St. Gobain glass works, In Paris, but
all the grinding and figuring will be
done in this country. The total cost
will be nearly one hundred thousand
dollars. Inasmuch as the Instrument
1b intended primarily and notoriously
for work of no immediate practical
benefit, viz., the spectrographic meas-
urement of radial stellar velocities,
this sum represents a very notable
contribution to pure science on the
part of a government.
The telescope will have a parabolic
mirror of 72 inches, clear aperture and
30 feet focal length, with a central
hole ten inches In diameter. The
mounting is to be similar to that of

Have You a Bad Back?
Does your back ache night and day,
making work a burden and rest impossi-
ble? Do you suffer stabbing, darting
pains when stooping or lifting? Most
bad backs are due to hidden trouble in
the kidneys and if the kidney secretions
are scant or too frequent of passage,
proof of kidney trouble is complete. De-
lay may pave the way to serious kidney
ills. For bad backs and weak kidneys
use Doan's Kidney Pills—recommended
the world over.

COULDN'T GET AWAY WITH IT
Irishman Made Poor Selection of
Name Under Which He Proposed
to Cast Fraudulent Vote.
It was election day, and after Mur-
phy had cast his vote he went on his
way. About a block from the polling
place he was approached by an old
friend', who said:
"Murphy, you can make $50 by go-
ing back to the booth and voting
again. Go back and vote in Ike Rosen-1
baum's name and you get the fifty.
"Sure, they might get me at it, and
I'd land in jail."
"Not a chance. They don't know
you and they don't know RoBenbaum.
So go to it."
Murphy thought a moment and then
went to the polls.
"I wish to vote," said Murphy, with
a delicious Dublin roll.
"What's your name?"
"Ike Rosenbaum."
"That's not your name," said the
clerk, suspiciously.
" 'Tls me name," said Murphy.
"It's not," argued the clerk.
"Ike Ro8enbaum's me name and I
intind to cast me vote as sich," said
Murphy hotly.
A friend of Murphy in the rear
jumped up and yelled:
"That's right, go on and vote, Mur-
phy; don't let 'em bluff you."
AFTER HALF-CENTURY MARK
No Real Reason Why Man of That
Afle Should Not Be Capable of
Good Work.
Speaking of the age of efficiency,
a Toledo gentleman locates it be-
yond the half-century mark. He calls
our attention to the fact that Colum-
bus was fifty-six when he discovered
America, that Darwin, Kant, Spencer,
Wagner, Haydn and others did their
greatest and best work when far past
the fifty mark, and that some have
persisted In great accomplishment un-
til seventy or more years of age. This
argument won't help the man who is
aged and broken and tottering at fifty,
will it? But it will hearten the man
of forty or more who has been care-
ful of his resources, to think that
to him achievement still is a possibil-
ity—and it may find him the opportu-
nity to achieve by convincing some
master of opportunity that years do
not always spell senility or loss of
virility. The young man may reflect
that he has the opportunity to run a
long race—and he may catch sight of
the fact that the man of fifty is not
necessarily a "back number" merely
because of his half-ceptury.

the Ann Arbor and Melbourne re-
flectors, with a skeleton tube at one
side and nearly midway between the
bearings of the long polar axis, the
balance being restored by the declina-
tion motion mechanism and by coun-
terweights at the other side. Both
polar and declination axis will be car-
ried entirely on ball or roller bearings.
In place of the usual plain bearings
for collimating and a complicated sys-
tem of counterwelghted rollers for re-
lieving the friction. The construction
■will aUo be simplified in otherrespects.
e. g., all fine circles will be omitted,
as will the slow motion arm in rfght
ascension. It Is characteristic of
twentieth century technique in astron-
omy that, although the new telescope
will have a full set of oculars for vis-
ual observations, no program of visual
work is contemplated. Nowadays the
camera takes the place of the human
retina. The main purpose of the
instrument will be the measurement
of motion in the line of sight of
stars fainter than the fifth magni-
tude; a task beyond the light-gath-
ering power of nearly all existing
telescopes. For such work the tele-
scope will generally be used in the
Cassegraln form; the light from the
main mirror, converging toward a fo-
cus, will be received by a second hy-
perbololdal mirror of about nineteen
Inches aperture and ten feet focus,
placed about twenty-three feet above
the main mirror. The light passes
thence down through the hole in the
main mirror, and the star Images are
formed about three feet below the lat-
ter. Here the spectrograph will be
placed. For the fainter stars of low
dispersion the spectrograph will prob-
ably be placed at the prime focus. An
Investigation of the atmospheric con-
ditions in different parts of Canada Is
now In progress, to determine where
the telescope will be located.
Chillicothe, Ohio.—"I am a native of
the Southland," says Mrs. Ed. Davis,
of this town, "and nothing pleases me
more than to speak a word of praise
for Cardui, the woman's tonic, for I
firmly believe that it snatched me
from the grave. Although I do not
need it now, I always keep a supply
on hand.
I have been married 14 years, and
had two children. After the youngest
was born, I was not able to walk, and
for four years, I was not strong
enough to stand on my feet five min-
utes at the time, without something
to support me.
After everything else had failed, I
wrote to the Ladies' Advisory Depart-
ment, of the Chattanooga Medicine
Co., for advice, and they kindly told
me what I needed. I commenced tak-
ing the Cardui Home Treatment. I
used only about four bottles of the
Cardui, but, today, I am well, can do
my own work, and walk as far as
I want to.
I can never praise Cardui enough,
and my neighbors cannot get done
wondering at the change In me."
Cardui will surely do as much for
you, as It did for the writer of the
above letter, if you will only give it a
trial.
Don't delay. Begin taking Cardui
today. Your druggist Bells it.—Adv.

"This little girl. It seems, had writ-

follows:
" 'The cow is a very useful animal.'
"That evening the bishop dined at
the little girl's house, and her mother,
Blnce she was a very little girl, in-
deed, was proud of the composition,
and requested its author to read It
aloud.
"The little girl got her manuscript,
but, instead of reading it as It stood,
Bhe amended it on the bishop's behalf
so that It ran:
" 'The cow Is the most useful anl
mal there is except religion.'"

lunatic asylum. He was taken all over
the establishment, and finally arrived
at the gardens, where a number of
the patients were working. Mr.
HurnB espied among these a man with
whom he had some slight acquaint-
ance, and was about to upeak to him
