HUSBAND SAVED HIS WIFE Stopped Most Terrible Suffering by Getting Her Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Denison, Texas.— “After my little girl was born two years ago I began sufI we f ering with female trouble and could hardly do my work. I I was very nervous I but just kept drag1 ging on until last summer when I got where I could not do my work. I would H have a chill every h| day and hot flashes and dizzy spells and Smy head would almost burst. • I got where I was almost a walking skeleton and life was a burden to me until one day my husband’s stepsister told my husband if he did not do something for me I would not last long and told him to get your medicine. So ho got Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for me, and after taking the first three doses I began to improve. I continued its use, and I have never had any female trouble since. I feel that I owe my life to you and your remedies. They did for me what doctors could not do and I will always praise it wherever I go.’’—Mrs. G. 0. Lowery, 419 W.Monterey Street, Denison, Texas. If you are suffering from any form of female ills, get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and commence the treatment without delay.

Facts and Figures. “Well, how’s the poultry business? You had It figured that you could make every hen supply you with a dollar’s worth of eggs for 50 cents’ worth of corn.” “I did so. But I think now my hens have got It figured that 1 kin be induced to furnish corn until spring without no eggs whatever In return. And they may be right, at that." Imitate the Hen. It’s not much use to lay your plans unless you warm up to your work and hatch them put. It’s easier to imagine that the world owes you a living than it Is to prove your claim. Because a woman keeps a parrot it Is no sign that the bird is doing all of the talking. >

WESTERN CANADA

Co-Operative Creameries Show Tremendous . Increase in Butter Production. The Dairy Commissioner, at first annual convention of Saskatchewan Dairymen’s association, reviewed progress of 1915 which shows . great Increase In the butter production of the co-operative creameries amounting to 1,500,000 lbs. He also said the Improvement In quality Is shown by the preference accorded Saskatchewan butter In outside markets. Shipments out of the province for the year totaled 52 carloads.

According to bulletin just Issued by the Manitoba department of agriculture, the dairy industry had a very successful year In 1915. There was an Increase of over 1,000,000 lbs. of creamery butter produced, as against the previous year, about 260,000 lbs. Increase In dairy butter and over 25,000 lbs. Increase In the cheese output. The increase of the total value of milk and milk products was over $427,000. The production of dairy butter for Manitoba during the year was 4,150,444 lbs. and It brought an average price of 23e per lb.; of creamery butter 5,839,667 lbs. were produced which commanded 29c per lb. on the average; cheese production was 726,725 lbs. which sold at. an average price of 15c —the total value of these three products Is given as $2,760,698, in addition to which the milk produced Is valued at $925,659 and the cream at $158,827, the average price of the milk being reckoned at 2.1 c per lb. and of sweet cream at 82c per lb. butter-fat. In connection with the dairy industry It is interesting to note that almost the most Important fodder crop now Is corn, of which the 1915 production amounted to 190,132 tons. The biggest cultivated fodder crop Is timothy which for last season produced 193,357 tons and the next most popular crop was brome grass with 45,815 tons; of alfalfa and clover there were produced some 38,000 tons. The number of cattle In the province is given as 631,005, which Is an Increase of 130,000 over the previous year.

The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta, cheese factory Is handling four times as much milk this season as last winter shows the growing Improvement in the dairy industry. On Feb. 14, it was announced the factory had Just shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary market. Cardston, Alberta, creamery in 1915 paid Its patrons a rate of 27%c per lb. for butter fat and had a profit remaining over all expenses of $5,584. The creamery during season distributed among farmers $81,117 and manufactured 256,000 lbs. butter and 13,000 lbs. cheese. Average price realized for butter was 28% cents. The development of the dairy Industry of Northern Alberta is well indicated by the growth of a prominent dairy business here, which in 1915 produced 2,525,000 lbs. butter, an increase of 400,000 lbs. over the previous year. This product has found a market In all parts of Canada and this year will enter the export trade. Advertisement

IS LONGEST IN THE WORLD

Concrete Highway Trestle in the Sacramento Valley Is of Record Length. One of the most absorbing examplase of concrete construction so far executed in America is represented by a causeway that spans the Yolo bypass in the Sacramento valley. The Popular Mechanics Magazine describes the construction of this trestle. It is thought to be the longest of its kind in the world and has lately been completed under the supervision of the California state highway commission. Although 3.09 miles from end to end, and a striking specimen of good, accurate workmanship, the elevated roadway was built in a thoroughly substantial maflner for less than $385,000. Certain phases of the construction were accomplished by original methods which have attracted the attention of engineers. The unit system was followed In erected the trestle which Is 20 feet in height and provides a roadway 21 feet wide. It is supported on re-enforced concrete piles, each weighing from three to five tons, that were driven into place. The floor consists of precast slabs. Four of these were placed side by side to span the 20-foot gaps be tween the bents, the full width of the structure. The parts were so carefully designed and put together that the completed trestle is a monolithic structure.

“Dark Lightning.”

The expression “dark lightning" seems to be paradoiical. As a matter of fact dark lightning is a product of the laboratory. In the development of camera plates that have been exposed to lightning flashes some of the streak images are reversed. This is thought to* be due to overexposure. Prints made from the negatives show the streaks as dark lines, hence the expression “dark lightning." The path of a lightning flash is frequently shifted by wind. The action of the wind appears to broaden the line of lightning until it resembles a ribbon. The uniform broadening along the entire length of a lightning flash has probably never been observed.

CAME TOGETHER ON A BRIDGE

Two Engines as They Appeared Immediately After They Had Collided Near the Center of a Small Bridge—The Freight Train Was Backing Onto a Siding to Make Way for the Other, a Fast Milk Train.

Though railway collisions are still rather common despite Increased safety provisions, a head-on collision on a bridge is rare and spectacular. Such an accident occurred recently on a small bridge near Janesville, Wis. While a freight was slowly backing onto a siding to allow a fast milk train to pass, the latter came unexpectedly around a bend. The milk train engine crashed into the freight engine near

AMONG RAILROAD MEN

STORIES HEARD AT RECENT CONDUCTORS’ CONVENTION. Little Joy in Operating Trains Along the Mexican Border —Romance of the Line, Culminating in Happy Marriage. Attending the railroad conductors’ convention are several conductors who have had close calls while running their trains along the Mexican border, says the St. Louis Republic. J. W. Walters of the Gulf Coast line, residing at Kingsville, Tex., has operated his train Into Brownsville, Tex., under an armed guard for nearly two years. The train has been repeatedly fired on, but Walters, himself, was absent when the most serious and only fatal attack occurred. But for the high waters at Galveston he would have been aboard and declares that the trip would probably have cost him his life.

The train, in charge of a substitute conductor, was creeping near to the border when it was suddenly derailed, caused by the cunning of the Mexicans. They had unspiked a rail, then put it carefully back in place. Tying a light wire cable to it, they hid themselves back in the near-by brush, and just before the engine crept onto the loosened rail pulled it out. Then they made a dash for the train, killed two soldiers guarding the train, and two passengers. The substitute conductor had presence of mind to shut himself up in the stove closet and escaped. The two soldiers and two passengers in the same car were killed. And they tell another story which fairly crackles with romance, on one of the best-known delegates to the convention, and his wife, Names, for reasons, must be forgotten.

Long, long years ago this now wellknown conductor was only a “news butcher.” -He sold peanuts and candy and papers, and the peanuts and the candy, at least, were generally old and musty, and germ-infected. Over in lowa one day a demure little maiden boarded the train on which this butcher hoy butchered. He came into the car where the demure little girl sat and shouted his wares. She bought liberally of peanut candy, ate heartily, left the train at her home and became violently sick.

Fifteen years later butcher boy had become a conductor. The demure little girl transformed purchaser of the germ-infected candy years before, one day boarded the butcher boy’s train. She was a full-grown, lovely type of femininity. She recognized in the conductor the butcher boy whom she had hated all these long years, and told him so. She told him what she thought of his candy and of him, for selling it. But her hate was momentary. When she left the train this time she had promised to write her great big butcher boy-conductor. The old inevitable story followed, and she is just as proud of her conductor husband today as she was ashamed of the butcher boy long, long ago.

Deserved Tribute to Engineers. Across this broad America there are 70,000 engineers—sitting at the throt-tle-sides of the big locomotives pulling little trains and long. They represent the highest type of employee that America has produced. On their nerve, their judgment, and their sense of responsibility we rely as on no other class of labor in the country. The man in the engine-cab is a man of whom any American citizen may well be proud.—Sunday Magazine of the Washington Star. Snake Stops-Limited. A snake, 15 inches long, crawled into a switch box on the Monon route at Delaya, near Lafayette, Ind., and stopped the Hoosier Limited. The snake cut off the electric current and made it impossible to operate the switch. He was paralyzed by the shock, but was still alive when dragged out. Passenger Cars in This Country.

the center of the bridge at that point, but the impact did not hurl either from the track. The engine crews escaped by jumping from their cabs. The first freight car was shattered and forced up on end, the front end of the car behind it was propped up in the air about ten feet. The cab of the inilk train engine was dislodged, and both tenders were damaged. The wreckage blocked the track for some time. —Popular Mechanics Magazine.

GIVES WARNING OF GALES

Method in Use on Irish Railroad to Prevent the Derailment of Trains by Wind. The derailment of railroad trains by wind is not an uncommon occurrence In the case of light, narrow-gauge railroads. Mr. R. ‘H. Curtis, writing In Symons’ Meteorological Magazine, tells how this danger has been virtually eliminated on one such line; viz., a stretch of 36 mlleg along the Atlantic coast of Ireland, forming part of the West Clare railroad. Probably there is no other line In the British isles exposed to such violent gales, and during a few years prior to 1909 as many as five “blow-offs” occurred, in which the carriages were completely smashed though there was fortunately no loss of life. In that year Mr. Curtis devised for the railroad a pressure-tube anemometer, with electrical apparatus for giving two warnings by ringing a bell In the stationmaster’s house at Qullty; the first when the velocity of the wind reached 65 miles an hour and the second when it reached 85 miles an hour. When the first warning is given, 2,400 pounds of movable ballast, kept for the purpose at every station, is placed on each vehicle of any train on the line at the first station It reaches. When the second signal is given, trains are stopped until the storm abates. Since the apparatus was Installed, in December, 1909, there has been only one storm-derailment, and this was due to deliberate disregard of the signals.— Scientific American.

Earliest Smoking Car.

Now that a railroad carriage ibuilt in 1830 has been placed on exhibition at Waterloo, perhaps the earliest smoking carriage may be unearthed by the fereat Eastern railroad, which claims to have built the first for September, 1846. A first-class saloon, 40 feet in length, the ends being converted into a kind of open lounge, while inside the “Divan,” as it was termed, morrocco leather sofas, mahogany tables and self-balancing lamps were found. An official statement announced that “the peculiarity of a portion of the Cambridge and Newmarket traffic suggested to the company the formation of such a description of carriage." Evidently it was found impossible to prevent undergraduates out for a day’s racing from defying the stringent bylaws against smoking, which then existed. —London Chronicle.

France Improving Railroads.

The Midi railroad, which operates in southern France and to the frontier of Spain, is having built at the present time eight electric locomotives deigned for both freight and passenger services on its electrified lines, this extension of the electrical equipment on a governmental railway system being obviously in preparation for the reconstructive period which must come after peace has been declared in Europe. The new locomotives, states the Electric Railway Journal, are intended for the system’s western group of electrified lines and they will ultimately be placed in service on the main line from Toulouse to Bayonne on the Atlantic coast.: —Collier’s Weekly.

Sets Switch While in Motion. Without stopping his train an engineer can move a lever in his cab and open a recently patented switch to enable him to enter a siding, the switch closing when the last car has passed over It. * Protection From Avalanches.

Don’t Poison Baby. FORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must hsvs PAREGO RIO or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce sleep, and a FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregonc, laudanum and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling them “poison.” The definition of “narcotic is: “A medicine which relieves pain and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convulsions and death. The an<l smell of medicines containing opium are disguised, and sold under the names of “ Drops,” “ Cordials,” “ Soothing Syrups, etc. You should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or your physician know of what it is composed.

Odd Places to Hide Cash.

The woman who, as just revealed in the law courts, hid her savings on her mother’s grave in Forest Hill cemetery, probably hit upon a unique cache. But there is no saying. The person who mistrusts savings banks generally looks around, for the most unlikely spot in which to deposit wealth, and more than one may hit on the same idea. Old cannon, for instance, seem to form favorable depositors. Quite a quantity of jewelry was found some while ago in a solitary gun which stands in a fort at Shoreham, and about the same time a bag containing 70 sovereigns was dolscovered in an old cannon in Peel park, Bradford. From one of the old Crimean cannon at Liverpool, also, some inquisitive youngsters once brought forth a soldier’s discharge papers and notes to the value of £IOO. —London Chronicle.

A Quaint Italian Town.

Pavla is not very well known to the tourist. For 200 years, until Charlemagne overthrew them, it was the capital of the Lombard kings, the kings of that one-time Teuton tribe of Langobardi, who conquered Italy, only to be themselves slowly conquered and become Italians, or, more accurately, Romanized. It is they who ruled over the great fertile plain between the Alps and the Apennines. In the Church of San Michele kings of Italy were crowned a thousand years ago; here two Germans at least, Henry the Second—loo4—and Barbarossa —1155 received upon their brows that “iron crown of the Lombards” which conveyed the sovereignty of Italy.
