Buffalo, N.Y.—" My daughter, whoss
picture is herewith, was much troubled
iwith pains in her
back and sides every
month and they
would sometimes ba
so bad that it would
seem like acute in-
flammation of some
organ. She read
your advertisement
in the newspapers
and tried Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound.
She praises it highly as she has been
relieved of all these pains by its use.
All mothers should know of this remedy,
and all young girls who suffer should
try it."—Mrs. Matilda Kurtzweg, 529
High St, Buffalo, N. Y.
Young women who are troubled with
painful or irregular periods, backache,
headache, dragging-down sensations,
fainting spells or indigestion, should
take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

Meat More Heating Than Sugar.
Itocent experiments nt Bellevue hos-
pital, New York, show that 750 calories
of dextrose, or 2G0 calories of protein,
increase the heat production of the
body 12 per cent during a period of
three to six hours. In fact, they show
the stimulating effect of protein upon
tissue aetivity to be three times as
great as that of sugiir. These observa-
tions confirm the experience long ngo
noted by thinking people that meat is
a heating food. Under the influence
of the stimulating effects of meat the
tissues expend In Its digestion more
energy than they receive from It.
IMITATION IS SINCEREST FLATTERY

tion has not the worth of the original.

Unearned Increment Measured In Crop.
The average value of farm land
throughout the United States in 1910,
aside from buildings, was $32.49 an
acre, according to the census. In 1910,
according to the department of agricul-
ture, this value had grown to $45.50,
an increase of 40 per cent. Since the
total value of farm lands, aside from
buildings, was returned in 1910 as
$28,475,000,000, the total increment
since then must be more than eleven
billions.

Thirty Years
Shouts at Night and Knife Stab in
Pillow Broke His Nerve, So
He Put the Case Up to
Divorce Master.
Rending, Ta. —Still n believer in
"hexerei," the German terra for witch-
craft in this part of Pennsylvania, Mrs.
Laura C.ulile of this city lias Just
learned that charms and incantations
may be more successful In keeping
away witches than in keeping a hus-
band.
John K. Hnhn, master In divorce,
has recommended a decree to Joseph
II. Gable, whose life appears to have
been anything but monotonous because
of his wife's weird superstitions. Mr.
Hahn decided that Mrs. Gable's cam-
paign to prevent a threatened drive by
the witches was not productive of
household harmony. His recommen-
dation is equivalent to a decree.
Charms for Protection.
Mr. Gable testified he did not mind
so much when Mrs. Gable marked a
double cross on the door to keep away
witches and wore a charm around her
neck and papers with prayers and in-
cantations in her hair for the purpose
of keeping the evil one where he he-
longed.
He remonstrated mildly when, In
stead of preparing food for the table,
Mrs. Gable used the top of the kitchen
stove to make strange brews in a cal-
dron, while he took his three meals a
day more or less uncomplainingly from
the pantry shelf. There was coolness
but no open hostilities when Mr. Gable,
returning late one night, stumbled over
his cane and the family collection of
umbrellas arranged in the form of a
pantagram just inside the front door.
Patience No Virtue.
Patience ceased to be a virtue with
Mr. Gable when Mrs. Gable's fear of
"hexes" led her to use the family
purse to visit "hexerei" specialists in
Motion Picture Industry.
The motion picture Is more than
fifty years old if we understand by
that term any device for producing
the optical Illusion of moving objtcts.
These toys were called by various
names, such as thaumatrope, zoetrope,
stroboscope, phenakistoscope, stereo-
scopic cabinet, klneinatoscope,. etc. The
first exhibition of photographic motion
pictures was mpde by Henry Heyl, in
Philadelphia, in 1897.

"Pride goes before a fall, you know."
"Maybe It does; but R goes a lot
quicker after one."
A seventy-three Inch reflecting tele- j
scope, which ranks In size as the
largest telescope of that type yet com- |
pleted, has been constructed for the
Dominion Astronomical observatory at
Victoria, Canada: The Instrument is
described In Popular Mechanics. The
mirror, which In this type of telscope
takes the place of a lens In concentrat-
ing the rays of light, measures 73
Inches In diameter over nil, is 12 inches
thick nt the edges, and is pierced by
a hole ten and one-eighth Inches in di-
ameter. The silvered upper surface Is
a parabola to bring the reflected light
to a focus, 30 feet above the mirror.
This enormous piece of glass weighs
two and one-quarter tons and yet is so
accurately supported that no flexure
can distort the surface, which must
nowhere deviate from the theoretical
curve more than a iIOO-l,(KK> of an inch.
The Instrument weighs B6 tons and
will rest on massive piers of re-en-
forced concrete. The tube is 31 feet
long and weighs 12 tons. Of unusual
interest from an engineering point of
view aro the diMne and observing
bridge. The former is 36 feet in di-
ameter and Is provided with a double
shutter having an opening 15 feet wide.
All the movements, Including revolu-
tion to any desired position as well as
the operation of the shutter, wind-
shield nnd the observing bridge, are
accomplished by menus of electric mo-
tors.

Big Demand for Pneumatic Tires.
How many people realize the sensa-
tional development that the pneumatic
tire business has experienced? The
first company to undertake the manu-
facture of pneumatic tires was the
Dunlop Company, organized at Dub-
lin, Ireland, 111 18S9, with a capital of
about $75,000 to make tires for bicy-
cles, and it rapidly grew to be a great
business. Then came the automobile
to add lis demands, and today, only
twenty-seven years later, the pneu-
matic tire business of the world is esti-
mated at tho enormous sum of $650,-
000,000.—Scientific American.
The position of the ultimate con-
sumer Is simplicity itself, lie pays or
goes without.
Japan is to have a new iron foundry
to be backed by 300 business men.

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE
By the greatest coffee merchants in the world
pictures of three wives and what their husbands say of their oofjet
There has been a great deal written and said
about making coffee, and wherever you go,
each woman thinks her way is best. Yet we
all know how much coffee varies; good one
meal—bad the next—often so bad you simply
can't drink it.
Don't be discouraged if you are not getting
coffee as fine as you would like to have. Don't
be satisfied to drink coffee which is "just me-
dium." A million other women make coffee
their husbands brag about, and it is so easy
for you to do it.
Instead of coffee which you only put up with
because you can't get the kind you would like
to have, you can get coffee which every mem-
ber of your family will enjoy, coffee which
every visitor will praise, coffee which you your-
self couldn't do without.
Was Awakened by a Shout of
"Abracadabra!"
Pittsburgh and New York city. The
war between husband and wife was
oil in earnest when Mrs. Gable was In-
formed that rock salt was a sure "lu x '
exterminator, and sprinkled a liberal
supply between the bed sheets.
The climax came one night when Mr.
Gable was awakened by a shout of
"Abracadabra 1" and found a keen-
bladed knife driven into the pillow
within :in inch of bis nose. Although
satisfied that any "hex" which ml^lit
have been lurking underneath was
there no longer. Mr. Gable felt no In-
clination for further slumber, and
passed the rest of the night 111 tie
attitude of a sentinel fearing a sur-
prise attack from the enemy's lirst-
line trench.
The action for divorce followed.
After what he*laid been through, Mr.
Gable said he would have no fear in
meeting the maddest "hex" that ever
rode a broomstick face to face.

How to make RoiUd Coffse?
the wsy most people make cof-

add cold water. Let boil until
It is just the strength you like.
Settle with a dash of cold water.
The Drip Method, the aim-
pleat way: Have your cofiVe
ground very fine, almost to a
powder. Use only half a table-
spoonful to a cup, v. ithan extra
one for the pot. (This method
requires only half as much cof-
fee an used for other method*.)
Put the coffee iu a piece of clean
cheesecloth; pour boiling water
through it slowly — throu«h
once only, lie Hure to have
water boiling. Thia does not
make n* strong coffee as boil-
ing—if you want it stronger,
don't make it this way — in-
rreaaing the amount of coffee
won't make it any stronger. *

Charged With Masquer-
ading.
Lewistown, Pa.—James Burnell Is
serving 80 days In jail because he pre-
ferred to wear his wife's skirls while ,
enjoying a day in Burnham park. Bur- \
nell has been a leading figure in mas-
querades near Lewistown for several j
years and decided to spend a day
among the ladies ns one of their num-
ber. When he withdrew to an isolated
spot to change his wearing apparel he
was arrested by an officer and escort-
ed to jail.
Sheriff Van Zandt, who admires \n
"old-fashioned" mother, took Burnell ,
as he appeared and confined him for a 1
night and a day in the women's apart-
ments in the jail. Then the prisoner
broke down, confessed his crime and
felt better after his wife hod called
and taken her best clothes back to
their home.
