AFTER SUFFERING FOR YEARS Cured by Lydia E. Pinkbam s Vegetable Compound @nn. —‘‘I was sick for fhroujfh the l^hangp Lydia E. Pinkham’s pounds,*»m now able to do my own ott, Park Rap“l was irregular and extremely nervous. A neighbor recommended Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to me and I hare become regular and my nerves are much better.*'—Mrs. K. Kinnison, BroekTille, Ohio. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Comwound, made from native roots and nerbs, contains no narcotic or harmful drugs, ai*d to-day holds the record for the largest number of actual cures of female diseases we know of, and thousands of voluntary testimonials are on file in the Pinkham laboratory at Lynn, Mass., from women who have been cured from almost every form of female complaints, inflammation, ulceration, displacements, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration. Every suffering woman owes it to herself to give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial. H you want special advice write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for it. It Is free and always helpful.

Mr. Shanklin’s Finesse.

“Doctor," said Mr. Shanklin, “if my wife cornea to aak your advice I have two requests to make. In the first place don’t tell her I’ve been here. Secondly, don’t advise her to quit wearing a corset,” ••But ” "I know what I am talking about, doctor, and I know her better than you do. If you order her to throw away her corset she’ll refuse to obey. You'll have to do it indirectly, if at all.” ~”AU right.” —— ...... In a few days Mrs. Shanklin called nt the physician’s office. “Doctor,” she said, “I am troubled with a distressing shortness of breath, accompanied by frequent spells of headache and dizziness, and I should like to have you prescribe for me.” “You don’t need any medicine, madam,” he answered. "Breathe deeply.” “Breathe deeply!” “Yes; get into the habit of doing :t, so you will that way unconsciously. Give your lungs and the muscles of your chest absolute free play.” “Is that all?” “That is all, madam.” “Horace,” said Mrs. Shanklin to her husband, later in the day, “I have quit wearing corsets, but I want you to understand distinctly that I am doing U of my own free will, and not because you have been nagging me about it!” “All right, Alvira,” —Chicago Tribune.

Just Right for That.

The visitor’s host was showing him through the more or less celebrated town that has grown up around the Pullman shops. "I don’t see very much vegetation here,” observed the visitor. “The soil seems to be too sandy.” "We raise the juiciest melons here you will find anywhere in the world.” briefly responded his host, who happened to be a stockholder in the company.—Chicago Tribune.

MISCHIEF MAKER.

A Surprise in Brooklyn. An adult’s food that can savo a baby proves itself to be nourishing and easily digested and good for big and little folks. A Brooklyn man says: “When baby was about eleven months old he began to grow thin and pale. This was, at first, attributed to the heat and the fact that his teeth were coming, but, in reality, the poor little thing was starving, his mother’s milk not being sufficient nourishment. “One day after he had cried bitterly for an hour, I suggested that my wife try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a little sugar and warm milk. This baby ate so ravenously that she fixed a second which he likewise finished. "It was not many days before he forgot all about being nursed, aud has since lived almost exclusively on Grape-Nuts. To-day the boy is strong and robust, and as cute a mischiefmaker as a thirteen months old baby is expected to be. ‘We have put before him other foods, but he will have none of them, evidently preferring to stick to that which did him so much good—his old friend, Grape-Nuts. “Use this letter any way you wish, for my wife and I can never praise Grape-Nuts enough after the brightness It has brought to our household." Grape-Nuts is hot, made for a baby food, but experience with thousands of babies shows it to be among the best, if not entirely the best in use. Being a scientific preparation of Nature’s Crains, it is equally effective as a body and bralh builder for grown-ups., v Read the little book, “The Road to 'Wellville” in pkgß. “There’s a Reason" Ever read the above letter?

THE DAILY REPUBLICAN Evary Pay Brew* Sunday. HEALEY t CLARK, Pgbllshert. RENSSELAER, - - INDIANA^

Any girl with ptfetty dimples knows when to smile. The mosquito lays forty eggs a day. It is said. But it never cackles. There is a strike in the leather trade. This may serious affect beefsteak prices. Women must tell their ages to the census enumerator. What a lot of secrets he will have to keep. “I will not resign under fire,” Is many a man’s excuse for bolding on to an office he doesn’t want to give up. Marriage is a problem to some people. Others live to celebrate their sixtieth anniversary of wedded happiness. A man has been arrested for stealing two slices of bacon. He will, of course, he tried under a charge of grand larceny.* Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt says woman has just as good judgment as man. Does anybody want to argue the case with Mrs. Catt? Professor Percival Lowell describes the comet’s tail as “the airiest approach to nothing set in the midst of naught.” Now who’s afraid of the comet’s tail? Mr. Morgan has purchased the world's most famous collection of watches. He has already secured the watches of many of the gentlemen who work in Wall street. . Duchess de Talleyrand, former ly Anna Gould, is forced to pay her former husband’s parents $5,600 a year. Anna seems to have made the mistake of marrying the whole family. The University of Chicago now claims the credit from Cornell of making hens lay ready-dyed eggs. Surely, the collegiate triumphs of the century are very uplifting to the race. A Mississippi ice driver found a wallet containing $2,000, hunted up the owner, was docked for the lost time And got a reward of a five-cent cigar for the restoration of the money. He now cynically believes it pays to be honest. Every now and then the news of the day contains the account of some person being burned to death while smoking in bed. The moral of such “accidents” and all like them in that disaster Is generally one of the promptest things in the world to come to one when deliberately invited. A grim argument in favor of letting well enough alone is found in a recent New York case. Not content with a verdict of murder In the second degree, the lawyer for the convicted man secured a new trial, at which the prisoner was found guilty in the first degree and sentenced to death. Farming is getting to be not merely an occupation, but a profession. An American from the South, recommended by the Department of Agriculture, has gone to Siam as agricultural adviser to the King, and other Americans are filling similar positions in Baroda, one of the most prosperous native States of India. The King of Siam will pay his adviser six thousand dollars a year, which is more than the average hired man earns.

When a fashionable wedding or a sensational trial draws a multitude of curious people in a great city, there Is no little comment on the bad manners and depraved tastes of Americans. It is worth noting—as showing a more attractive side of the picture—that the police reserves had to be called out in New York City the other day to handle a crowd of four thousand people who were trying to get into a hall built for two thousand people, in order to hear a concert. It was a fine concert, and the fact that it was free only emphasizes the general desire to enjoy an entertainment which is uplifting and inspiring. It has been generally accepted by men of science that the last dinosaur trod the earth a great many centuries ago, in fact, something like four hundred thousand years ago. From the fossilized remains a good knowledge has been obtained of the gigantic proportions and terrifying appearance of the creature, and all have agreed in a preference to study the bones, rather than a living specimen at large. From South Africa there now comes the remarkable story that there is a living dinosaur somewhere in the northern part of Rhodesia. Natives have recently told of a mighty reptile in a lake near the river Lunga, and have identified drawings of the dinosaur as resembling this creature. Thus far the proof is hardly convincing, but the story arouses a certain interest. Unfortunately, the Roosevelt expedition did not "penetrate that part of the African wilderness, but perhaps here 13 the opportunity for, some hunter or naturalist to win immortal fame. The results of the first ten years of government by commission in American cities are summarized in Everybody’s Magazine by Charles E. Russell. The plan devised at Galveston in I*oo to meet a special emergency has now spread to Include sixty cities with a population of mere than 3.000/100.

Why, ask* the writer, in effect, go on with ward* and aldermen? Why employ party ballots, with party emblems? Why call "democratic” a scheme of government which Is but representative—and representative In the narrowest and most unsatisfactory sense? Already there is a long roll of cities which are doing without these familiar devices, and doing better. The Galveston idea has spread as far as South Dekota, Idaho and Washington, but its most signal successes have been In lowa. Cedar Rapids and Des Moines are the two chief exemplars; the latter now claims that it is “the most economically and most honestly managed city of its size in the Middle West.” The commission plan banishes party politics from local affairs, along with boss and machine. It views and manages the municipality as a business enterprise and gives an administration that is- prompt, 1 efficient, systematic and economical. By means of the referendum, initiative and recall It places responsibility definitely upon the people. And it appears to be working a change of attitude toward the community life by fostering a higher degree of communal consciousness. The lowa towns are pointedly aware of improvement; they are feeling better within and are looking better without. Mr. Russell, in the momentum of his enthusiasm, calls for the extension of commission government from small cities to large ones. They, too, he contends, should be free to engage expert talent on the sole grounds of fitness, should understand just what their oficials are doing and how doing it, and should be able to dismiss them if incompetent. Doubtless, as he feels, the problems of Chicago and New York are too intricate and diffcult for the grade of ability that ward and precinct politics puts in. to office. On the other hand, the scale of the problem is an integral part of it, and the drawbacks that probably inhere in the execution of the plan on even a small scale should be given a little more time to develop.

FATHER HELPED PRACTICE.

A little girl sat at-an old square piano. Her mother moved about In the next room, preparing supper. Near the piano sat the father, carefully tidied up after his day in the machine shop. "“All the way home,” the man said to his little daughter, ‘‘l was trying to whistle that new piece of yours, Mollie, but I forgot some parts, and you must help me. So play it through, please:” > Mollie began, pleasure and Importance In her face. At the second page she stumbled and dropped from the tempo, but hurried on. “That was the place I forgot,” interrupted her father. “Please play it over, just the air.” Over and over she was lndtfcfed to play it, first with one hand, then with the other, until the passage had become familiar, and her little fingers had fairly mastered the difficulty. “Do you know,” she said, a few days later, as she played the simple melody to her teacher, “my father tljinks this part is so pretty—the prettiest part in the whole piece. He likes to hear It over and over.” “Oh,” thought the teacher, “with such parents what musicians I could make of even everyday material!” To-day this girl is studying in New York under distinguished teachers, playing accompaniments for a wellknown singer, Invited to delightful houses as an honored guest, and leading a very Interesting If an arduous life. Her teacher Insists that she was not exceptionally gifted; that the secret of her success lay very largely in the patient, intelligent oversight of her parents, and their tact in getting her to master the difficult parts of each lesson, and so the successive steps of technique.

What He Lacked.

A Cleveland lawyer whose interests frequently take him to a certain town in Indiana, tells of a quaint character there known to the townspeople as “Necessity” Nelson. Nelson gets on pretty well despite the fset that he is a jack of all trades “and master of none.” He poseß mainly as an attorney. When the Cleveland man first went to the Indiana town he was naturally enough very curious as to the odd nickname given Nelson. “Why do you call him ‘Necessity?’ he asked. "Because he knows no law,” was the answer.—-Chicago Tribune.

How About a Plaster?

One day an old war veteran limped into a shop and said to the druggist: “I want some medicine, some sort of vermifuge, I suppose.” “Well, colonel, where’s the trouble?” asked the clerk, sympathetically. “Where does the seat of your difficulty seem to be?” “In my wooden leg, mister. It’s gettin’ all worm eaten.”—Ladies’- Home Journal.

KING OF SPAIN AND THE PRINGE OF ASTURIAS,

TEACHING HIS SON AND HEIR TO SALUTE.

HERE isn’t the slightest deubt but what Alfonso of Spain is w■ \ one of the proudest,* most affectionate fathers in the world, I but, somehow or other, he seems to be lacking in that seriousness and sense of heavy responsibility which stamps most gj’jipcssrvsa young parents of the masculine persuasion. Rather, he appears to look upon his children' from a quizzical point of view. Especially does this seem to be the case with his eldest son, the heir to the throne. Take our illustration, for instance, as an example of this attitude. There is, undoubtedly,* much of pride about this young father —but there is something else; he thinks, just as we do, that the little fellow in the military suit is very droll and that'lt is something of a J shame, as well as a joke, to have to dress him like that. "Isn’t he simply funny?” the king-father seems to be saying. “Do you think there could possibly be a smaller uniform in existence than that? And doesn't it seem perfectly rich to think that he’ll be holding down my job some day? Honest, now — doesn’t it?” Uniform, or no uniform, it is very evident that this chubby little flaxenhaired fellow has much of the charm of babyhood about him. One feels that he is a very estimable and trustworthy baby; somewhat lacking, perhaps, in hilarity and an appreciation of the showy pleasures of life, but one on whom you could depend—who would stay where he was put and never, by any circumstance, throw blocks at his nurse or attempt to brain her with a miniature train of cars.- _ - - : The Prince of Asturias, whose mother was Princess Victoria Eugenie, daughter of Prince Henry of Battenburg, is 3 years old.

Science AND Invention

Experiments with ultra-violet light appear to show that it is more effective for sterilizing liquids than ozone. Prof. Lowell announced that he has discovered a new canal a thousand miles in length on Mars. The canal developed between May and September of last year. Recent experiments have proved conclusively that coal dust which has been ground to a state so fine that It will pass a 200-mesh sieve will explode from contact with either a naked flame or with the arc of an electric current. M. Ader, the Frenchman said to have flown about 1,000 feet in 1897 with his steam-propelled monoplane, the Avion, has been decorated with the red ribbon of the Legion of Honor. His machine is said to have embodied the wingwarping principles since patented by the Wrightsj Lately the practice of superheating steam for locomotives has been resumed in Europe and England, and with the aid of suitable lubrication, is said to have given good results. The saving in coal consumption is estimated in England at 20 per cent, and a still higher economy has been claimed in Germany. In Italy the plan has been tried on the State railways with an economy of coal reckoned at 23.3 per cent. In addition it is said that the trains run by superheated steam show a gain of 12.6 per cent in weight of load drawn, and 9.6 per cent In speed, as compared with trains run by saturated steam. Sir A. Trevor Dawson makes this comparison to show the great strides made in modern ordnance in forty-five years: In 1864 the most ppwerful 12lnch gun was a muzzle-loader, 12 calibers long, weighing 23.5 tons, using a charge of 85 pounds of powder, and discharging a projectile of 614 pounds with a muzzle velocity of 1,300 feet per second. It could perforate 16 inches at a range of 6,000 yards. In 1909 the 12-inch gun had become a breechloader, 50 calibers long, weighing 70 tons, using a projectile of 850 pounds discharged with a_ muzzle velocity of 3,000 feet per second, and capable of penetrating 52 inches of wrought inn at the muzzle, 37 Inches at a distance of 6,000 yards, and 17.5 inches at 24,000 yards. Until within a few months past there has been no authenticated instance of the Alaska fur-seal being fed in captivity and kept alive for any great length of time except in its natural environBut on October 9 last Judson Thurfcfer.boatswain on the revenue cutter Bear, obtained two seal pups, a male and. a female, for the purpose of

feeding them artificially. Both were doing well at the end of the year. Mr. Thurber fed them at first with condensed milk and then with fish. He fpund it necessary, in the case of tha male, to cut a membrane called the frenum, which restricted the movement of the tongue; the female eventually broke the frenum by her 'own efforts. They have been kept in a box filled with sea-water on board the Bear. It is thought that this experiment. will afford a means of saving fur-seal nurslings whose mothers have been killed at sea, which hitherto have invariably died of starvation.

ONE MINUTE WIRELESS.

Uncle Sam’* Trained Men Can Pnt Up Station In That Time. “There Is no other country with a trained squad of men possessed of apparatus which can be taken from a wagon, set up and put in operation, capable of sending a wireless message twenty-five miles and occupying one minute and eight seconds only from the time of command, ‘Halt, open station!’ to the first buzz of the wireless wave-producing spark,” says Popular Mechanics. “There Is more to opening a wireless station than hauling the apparatus from the wagon. It means erecting a mast forty feet high, spreading for 150 feet each four stranded wires which perform the double purpose of holding up the mast and of serving as the antennas of the wireless set, spreading another smaller set of insulated wire at the base of the mast for a ‘ground’ and connecting the instruments and the sources of power. “When the first portable wireless was made In this country a few years ago a sixty-foot mast was requjred, demanding a complicated system of guyß, a troublesome ground and several hundred feet radius of clear space for the erection of the station. The writer well remembers seeing the first tests of erecting this mast at Fort Myer, Virginia, and thinking that a hostile force would have little trouble finding time to demolish such an outfit during the three-quarters of an hour it took to get it in working order.”
