FARMER'S WIFE
TOO 1LLT0 WORK
A Weak, Nervou Sufferer
Restored to Health by Ly-
diat E. Pinkham's Veg-
etable Compound.
EuoU, Minn. — "I am glad to say
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has done
I more for me than
I anything else, and I
I had the best physi-
I cian here. I was so
weak and nervous
that I could not do
my work and suf-
fered with pains low
down in my right
side for a year or
more. I took Lydia
J E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, and now I feel like a
difiVrent person. I believe there ia
nothing like Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound for weak women and
young girls, and I would be glad if I
could influence anyone to try lie medi-
cine, for I know it will do all and much
more than it is claimed to do." — Mrs.
Clara Franks, R. F. D. No. 1, Maple-
crest Farm, Kasota, Minn.

tressing ills peculiar to their sex should

The emperor of Austria, it has been
noted, lays claim to the title marquis
of Antwerp. If all European sov-
ereigns could make good their minor
territorial titles there would, indeed,
be a reconstruction of the map. The
king of Italy, for Instance, is officially
■tyled king of Sardinia, France. Spain
and England, of Italy and Jerusalem,
of Greece and Alexandria, of Hamburg
and Sicily, Master of the Deep, King of
the Earth. The king of Spain also
claims to be king of Jerusalem, king
of Gallcla (a title shared with the em-
peror of Austria), and, in addition,
king of Gibraltar, of the WeBt Indies
and of India.
Her Memory All Right.
Mrs. Gcddes had a new maid, and
the found it necessary to repeat her
Instructions several times before Nora
obeyed tbem. The mistress had told
her repeatedly about the finger-bowls,
and one day, when there were guests
they were again forgotten.
"Now, Nora," said Mrs. Geddes, ex-
tremely exercised over the omission,
"this is the sixth time I've had to tell
you about the finger-bowls. Didn't
the woman you last worked for have
them on the table?"
"No. mum," replied Nora, "her
friends always washed their hands
before they cum."
Better Name.
The dog was a curious creature with
a short body and long dangling ears.
The newsboy owner was proud, how-
ever, as he held it in leash.
"What kindo purp Is it?" asked an
acquaintance.
"Dachsund," replied the newsie.
"Dash hound?"
"That's what I aald."
•TJash nothing," the other contempt-
uously retorted, "It looks more like a
hyphen."—'Toungstown Telegram.
Old Man Peaslee's Story Probably the
Best of Good Ones Related After
the Conflagration Had Been
8ubdued.
The little village of Dilmouth had
suffered from fire—Ethan Nudd's low-
er barn, where he had stored his farm-
ing tools, had burned flat, and a large
part of the community had gathered
about the ruins. The men were busily
recounting their own exploits, ana vig-
orously criticizing the behavior of
others who had gone home. Jed Gip-
son was speaking.
"It reelly take.* a fire to br!ng out
the last mite of foolishness there Is
in a man." he asserted, with convic-
tion. Tr instance, did anv of you
folks notice one of them Bentley
twins, to aee what he was doln":
Didn't, hey? Well, I did. and he wae
over at that drv well, south of the
barn, with a pail and a rope, tryln'
to get water out of It—and there ain't
been a drop of water In that well for
more'n ten year!"
"Sho, now. Jeddie"' soothed Mr
PeaBlee. "Don't be ha'sh in your 1edg
ment. Mebbe the twin didn't know it
was a dry well."
"Course he knew it!" scoffed Jed
Impatiently. "That well went drv
when Bentley blasted out for that
deep well of his—cut Into the vein
and sucked Nudd's well drv as an ash
heap. No. sir! It'a Jest as I tell you
—a fire brings out all the foolishness
there Is In a feller, and he'll do things
there ain't a mite of sense in You
notice, and see If I ain't right."
"Rentley's twin didn't do all the
foolish and useless things that was
dine there," broke in Wendall Cooper,
"for to my mind the capsheaf of fool-
ishness was when that passel of lunk
heads from the lower road broke into
the farther end of the barn and
dragged out that old hayrack full of
bean straw. They got It Just outside
the barn, and then they dropped the
pole and left it there—right where It
would ketch. Course It would have
burnt in the barn, but it wouldn't have
burnt any quicker than it did where
It was. They might Jest as well left
It in the barn!"
Here Caleb Peaslee'a mild old voice
interrupted again.
"Under strain of excitement, same's
at a fire," he observed, moderately
"I've noticed. Jest as .Teddle says, that
folks do things that mebbe thev
wouldn't do if they was oa'm, but I've
noticed this besides—and it don't
seem to have struck Jeddie at all—
the things they do any time like that
ain't things that herder or help much
That is to say, even if they do seem
to be useless and foolish, the chances
are they ain't right down hurtful—
they're jest cases of poor Jedgment."
He twirled his ash stick in his hand
a moment and then went on again as
if he had not stopped talking.
"Folks like that," he ruminated, as
if to himself, "always put ms in mind
of old Aunt Dilly Peterbv, the time
her husband had that fit. Folks down
on the river road heard her screechin',
and came up to see what the matter
was, and they found Aunt Dilly bend-
in' over him. ticklin' him underneath
the chin with a straw Doctor White
was there, and he asked her what her
Idea was, and Aunt Dilly told him
that she reelly wa'nt sure what she
was doln' It for.
" 'But,' says she real decided for
her, 'I wanted to do somethln', and I
knew that If that didn't do any good,
it couldn't do a great deal of hurt.'

Not Just What Jones Waa Looking
for, But Brown 8urely Had
Told the Truth.
As Brown landed on the platform he
ran full butt into Jones.
"Where bound, Joens, and why such
speed?" queried Brown.
"Juat off to Seashell-on-the-Mud, and
am anxious to get some fruit before I
start."
"Fruit? Just the thing! Now ahe's
Just off: Jump in that carriage. 1 left
a fine pear lu the corner."
Jones got in and started searching
around.
'My friend said he left a fine pear
in the corner," explained Jones, as an
old lady sniffed angrily at the way he
searched round her
"Guess he meant that corner, my
man," she snapped.
Jones looked and saw a young cou-
ple blushing furiously.
WILL BE EXPENDED WISELY
Fighting the White Plague.
Adequate hospital facilities for the
>6,000 residents of Ohio who are Buf-
fering from tuberculosis baa been de-
cided upon by the prevention of tuber
culoais and officials of the state board
of health. It Is proposed to creata 12
hospital districts of from four to six
counties each, wherein campaigns will
be Inaugurated for the erection of dis-
trict tuberculosis hospitals to be main-
tained Jointly by the cooperating
counties.
Through the erection of these 12
district hospitals, supplementing the
present sanitaria, antituberculosis
workers believe that the 85,000 vie
tims will be adequately cared for. and
that tbe people of the atate will be
so well protected through this hospl
tallzatlon that eventually Ohio's death
rate of 7,000 per year will be reduced
materially.
Statement Showlig How the Proceeds
of Sale of Red Cross Seala
Are to Be Spent.
For the benefit of tbe numerous or-
ganizations who helped to sell near-
ly forty-five million Red Cross seals
last year and for the general public,
the American Red Cross and the Na-
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis have
framed a definition of anti-tuberculo-
sis work showing how the proceeds
from these holiday stickers are to be
u^ed. The definition limits the expen-
diture of money only for the year
ending April 30, 1915.
The definition was framed at a re-
cent meeting of the Natioual Associa-
tion for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis and states that tbe terqg
"anti-tuberculosiB work" as it relates
to the expenditure of Red Cross seal
money shall Include tbe following ac-
tivities:
1. The construction of hospitals or
sanatoria for the care of the tubercu-
lous.
2. The maintenance of the tubercu-
lous.
3. The provision of day or night
camps for the tuberculous: the provi-
sion and maintenance of dispensaries,
visiting nurses, open air schools, fresh
air classes, or preventorla for the care
or treatment of tuberculosis cases or
for the prevention of the spread of tu-
berculosis.
4. The maintenance of educational
or legislative activities which have for
their object the preventlou of infection
with tuberculosis.

The Cupboard Was Bare.
The late Doctor Masters, who was
formerly a missionary in Canton,
China, afterward lived In Berkeley,
Cal. His friend and fellow-mlsBlonary,
Doctor Boone, returning on furlough,
was expected to arrive In 8an Fran-
cisco on a certain day. Doctor Mas-
ters croseed the bay to the city; he
meant to meet Doctor Boone and his
party, and. after spending the day In
sightseeing, to take him to dinner at
a well-known restaurant.
The steamer, however, had reached
port earlier than had been expected
and when Doctor Masters got to the
dock his friends had left. He made
Inquiries at the prlnjlpol hotels, but
could not find them. In order to notify
his famllr in Berkeley of the neocs
sary change In plans, Doctor Master"
sent them a telegram. Here is the
somewhat damaged message that Mrs
Masters Anally read:
"Can't find the bones. Will come
home to dinner."—Youth's Companion
Inventor of the Airbrake.
Who really invented the airbrake?
Certainly the automatic airbrake, the
one that has proved practicable and of
permanent value in modern railroad-
ing, wa3 tbe product of the late George
Westinghouse'a ingenuity. His patent
for the automatic brake waB taken out
in 1872, superseding the non-automatic
or "straight" Westlnghouse airbrake
patented in 1869, and later the West-
lnghouse vacuum brake was invented.
But, as' In the case of most other In-
ventions, there are several claimants
for originality in this field. Thus,
Mme. M. Drouane, daugheer of M
Debruges of Paris, claims the distinc-
tion of priority for her father. The
New York Times has a letter from
State Senator William P. Fiero of
White Plains containing a patent office
declaration by his grandfather, Henry
Miller, of a "new and useful improve-
ment In the application of steam and
compressed air to the purpose of op-
erating railroad brakes," recorded Jan-
uary 2, 1855. Mr. Miller wbb doubt-
less a pioneer In the progress of air-
brake invention.
Mysteries of Krypton.
!t is usually supposed that at great
heights the pressure of the air is al-
most negligible, but the application of
an Ingenious method indicated by
Ramsay glveB interesting results. He
asserts that the green line character-
istic of the spectrum of krypton re-
mains ^visible under a pressure of
0.000035 millimeters of mercury.
Now this green line is found In
the spectrum of the aurora borealts
and It seems to be well established
that this exists frequently at altitudes
between 100 and 200 miles, and even
sometimes up to nearly 500 miles
But krypton is one of the heaviest
gases In our atmosphere. It would
seem, therefore, that the density of
the air at these altitudes Is by no
meanB negligible, as, whatever tbe
cause may be of the presence of kryp-
ton there, it could not remain there
unless the air possessed an appra-
tiable density.
Rays of Humor.
From underneath the war cloud lit-
tle flashes of humor escape now and
again.
Two Irish sergeants. brought
wounded to Paris, are reported as say-
ing that they did not know exactly
where tbe battle was, but they had
Just been "fighting at Copenhagen."
They probably meant Compeign. but
It made no difference in their willing-
ness to fight.
The Paris Figaro pictures as a com-
mon sight on the streets two men
reading their respective newspapers
through to the end, and then exchang-
ing a Figaro for a Matin, and absorb-
ingly rereading In the second newspa-
!>pr the Identical official announcement
which they had read In the first.
Life retains its shades of fun even
In the darkest shadow of trouble.
The British Hussars.
The Seventh Queen's Own Hussars
formed from drastoons In 1807 was
the regiment in which the duke of
Connaught served to learn cavalry
service, after being In the rifles and
artillery. His son Prince Arthur, and
also Prince Alexnnder of Teck be-
gan their military career In the same
regiment.
Physicians Recommend Castoria
ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma-
^ ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with
results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably tha
result of three facts: «>•#—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless:
Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi-
lates the food s Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil.
It is absolutely safe. It doos not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotio
and does not stupefy. It i3 unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's
Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how-
ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day
for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To
our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by
regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to
the information.—Hall's Journal of Health,

Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: "I have prescribed your
Castoria often for Infanta during my practice, and find It very satisfactory."*
Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, saya: "Your Castoria stands
first In Its class. la my thirty years of practice I can say 1 never have
found anything that bo filled the place."
Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "1 have used your Castoria and
found It an excellent remedy In my household and private practice for
many years. The formula Is excellent."
Dr. It. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria
extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's
troubles. I am aware that there are Imitations In the field, but I always
Bee that my patients get Fletcher's."
Dr.Wm.J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen
children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside
from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Cas-
toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home."
Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Cas-
toria has made for itself In the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the
presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse-
ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and
believe it an excellent remedy."
Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not
prescribe proprietary preparatlona, but In the case of CaBtorla my experi-
ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to malce an ex-
ception. I prescribe your Castoria In my practice because 1 have found it
to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physi-
cian who has raised a family, as I have, will Join me in heartiest recom-
mendation of Castoria."

The Bridal Trousseau.
The old idea of providing brides
with a score or more of gowns, wraps
and hatH has quite gone by. Even the
fashionable trouBseau of today con-
tains no more than a dozen gowns, If
as many. Styles change so fast that
by fall the gowns for the June wed-
ding, necessarily made some weeks be-
fore the ceremony, begin to look odd.
Some authority has declared that the
best dressed woman in Paris buys no
more than three new toilets each year,
but the opinion may be ventured that
she is altering her last year's supply
most of the time. The vast assort-
ments of lingerie have also dwindled.
