PREVENTING THE PREVENTABLE.
tt In, of course, worse tban tint-lea*
to worry about unpreventable misfor-
tunes It is worth while, however, to
differentiate between the preventable
and (he unpreventable It Is equally
worth while to work for the preven-
vv-ntlon of the preventable. And one
is surprised to find how many of the
losses and sufferings of mankind
might be prevented if proper time and
thought were given to them. Losses
of human life through unnecessary dis-
eases. destruction of food produetu
through preventable causes, sacrifices
of property through avoidable dreg—
they constitute an appalling chapter
on social Inefficiency Only an approx-
imate monetary value can be placed
upon human life. The Insurance
companies make such estimates, but
they are convincing only when consld
ered Impersonally To say that mil-
lions are lost to the people of Amer-
ica through unnecessary dying
through the ravages of preventable
diseases. Is to state an economic fact
unfeelingly It la, none the less, a
fact. The property loss by Are In
the United States for 1911—the latest
authentic figures obtainable — was
$226,000,000 And any expert will say
a majority of those fires might have
been prevented by precautions of
quite an ordinary character.
News Notes
Locomotive engineers sit for hour*
at the throttle In a cramped position,
the mind is taxed to the full limit, the
body at a terrible strain The per-
centage of deaths from kidney disor-
der Is very high among locomotive
engineers and It is asserted that thts
is due in a large measure to the con
tluual Jar of the engine With a
view to ameliorating these conditions
an Inventor has contrived a portable
back rest made of canvas, which is
attached to the seat, while the upper
end Is secured to coil springs, which
are hooked to the ceiling of the cab
The springs relieve the engineer of a
great deal of jarring, permit him to
occupy a more comfortable position,
and consequently make him more effi-
cient. particularly on long runs.

pretty Spanish parrot as a present
for his friend O'Brien. He shipped

tell ye that I never put me teeth Into
a tougher bird In me life!"

know: "But what If your englre stops
In the air—what happens?" Can't you
come down?" "That's exactly the
trouble," responded the willing guide.

"Elsie, If you open your mouth an-
other time, you'll have to go back up-
stairs. Now, remember!"
Elsie was accustomed to obey, so,
for a long time, Elsie's lips were kept
tightly closed. At last, however, she
touched her mother and said softly:
"Mamma, can I open my mouth if
I don't say anything?"—Chicago Trib-
une.

Belton. Tex.—Mrs. Ethel Moncrief,
of this place, says: "I suffered with a
complaint peculiar to women, and, al-
though I called In the doctors, they
failed to do me any good.
Then. I began to take Cardul, the
woman's tonic.
From the first dose, I could feel re-
sults, and, In a short time, I was re-
lieved of all my dreadful suffering.
My friends were surprised to see
the results I obtained from the use of
Cardul. I just couldn't help telling
them. It built up my system wonder-
fully.
I do not want to be without Cardul
in my house, as long as I can obtain
it. ft is a true relief for womanly
troubles. I can't praise It too highly."
In the past helf century, thousands
of ladles have written, like Mrs. Mon-
crief, to tell of the benefit received
from the use of Cardul.
Such testimony, from earnest wom-
en, surely Indicates the merit of this
woman's remedy.
Cardul contains pure, harmless,
vegetable Ingredients, which act In a
gentle way on all the weakened wom-
anly organs.
It cannot do you harm, and Is al-
most sure to be the very medicine you
need. It's good for young or old.
Please give Cardul a trial.

often produces alarming symptoms as
the polBon (caffeine) contained in
these beverages acta with more po-
tency in some persons than in others.
"I was never a coffee drinker,"
writes an 111. woman, "but a tea drink-
er. I was very nervous, had frequent
spells of sick headache and heart
trouble, and was subject at times to
severe attacks of bilious colic.
"No end of sleepless nights—would
have spells at night when my right
side would get numb and tingle like
a thousand needles were pricking my
flesh. At times I could hardly put my
tongue out of my mouth and my right
eye and ear were affected.
"The doctors told me I was liable to
become paralyzed at any time, so I
was In constant dread. I took no end
of medicine—all to no good
"The doctors told me to quit using
tea, but I thought I could not live
without It—that It was my only stay.
I had been a tea drinker for twenty-
five years; was under the doctor's
care for fifteen.
"About six months ago, I finally
quit tea and commenced to drink
Postum.
"I have never had one spell of sick
headache since and only one light
attack of bilious colic. Have quit hav-
ing those numb spells at night, sleep
well and my heart is getting stronger
all the time." Name given upon re-
quest.
Postum now comes In concentrated,
powder form, called Instant Postum.
It is prepared by stirring a level tea-
