NOTICE TO Positive Proof That Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Relieves Suffering. Bridgeton,N.J.—“l cannot speak too highly of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta- ■ ble Compound for inflammation and other weaknesses. I was very irregular and would have terrible pains so that I could hardly take a step. Sometimes I would be so miserable that I could not sweep a room. I : doctored part of the _ . J time but felt no change. I later took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and soon felt a change for the better. I took it until I was in good healthy condition. I recommend the Pinkham remedies to all women as I have used them with such good results.”—Mrs. Milford T. Cummings, 322 Harmony St., Penn’s Grove, N. J.

HARVARD MEN IN HAIL OF BOMBS

Show Rare Pluck When Hospital Is Attacked by German Airmen. 4 KILLED AND 32 WOUNDED Major Murphy, Red Cross Commissioner, Cables Full Details of Disaster to H. P. Davison —Show Speed in Emergency. Washington. —The manner in which the Harvard unit’s base hospitallff France .was attacked by a German airplane, with the result that several Americans were killed and wounded, was described in detail In a long cable message received here by Henry P. Davison, chairman of the American Red Cross war council, from Maj. Grayson M. Murphy, Red Cross commissioner in Europe. The message follows : “An American Red Cross Inspector who has just returned to headquarters In Paris has brought from the United States army base hospital unit of Harvard University, one of the many similar institutions on the surgical supply list of the American Red Gross, a detailed narrative of the bombing of that hospital on the night of September 4 last, and of the characteristic pluck and promptness with which the emergency was met. Five bombs were thrown, the explosions instantly killing William F. Fitzsimons of the Medical Officers’ Reserve corps. United States army, and three army privates, and wounded Lleuts. Clar-ence-A. McGuire. Thaddeus D. Smith and Rea W. Whidden, O. R. C., U. S. A.; six privates, a woman nurse and 22 patients from the British lines who were under treatment there for wounds.

Attack Occurred at Night. “The airplane attack occurred at 11 o’clock at night. Just at that time fortunately no convoy of wounded"was being received or the list of casualties would have been far greater, as one of the bombs fell ihto the center of the large reception tent to which the wounded are first borne for examination. Ten seconds suffered for the dropping of the bomb from the first flying plane, and within less than a minute afterward the surgeons of the hospital were at the task of collecting and attending those who had been struck down. And for 24 hours they were at work In the operating room, one surgeon relieving another when the latter, from simple exhaustion, could work no longer. The very next day. Just as if nothing had happened, these same surgeons were called upon to receive and care for 200 wounded sent 1 In from the trenches of the British expeditionary force. “The hospital, which is on the French coast, has 1,800 beds, and is Uqder canvas in a quadrangle 800 feet square. It is in a district in which there are many similar institutions, an<Vls unmistakable as a hospital. At the time the German aviator flew over Hktnost of the surgical staff was engaged in making rounds of the wards. Lieutenant Fitzsimons, however, was standing at the door of his tent. There had been a brief warning of the presence of a bombing airplane in the neighborhood, because a quarter of a minute before the sound of exploding bombs was heard from a point perhaps 200 yards from the hospital. This warning sufficed to cause all lights in the tents to be extinguished Immediately, and those who had been under fire before threw themselves face down upon the ground. l “Then came five in rapid succession In the" hospital itself. The first two wrfe directly in front of Lieutenant Fitzsitnohs* rent. He probably

never knew what happened to him, as his body was torn to shreds. The next two fell a hundred feet beyond, in a ward in which there were many patients, and the .last struck the reception tent. - Overhead there was no sound. The German aviator flew too high to be heard, but he left his identity behind him, not only in the bombs he dropped, but in the derisive handful of pfennings he scattered upon the hospital as he whirled away. A number ot these were found when light came. HRFby Bomb Fragments. “Lieutenant McGuire, who was in a tent adjoining that of Lieutenant Fitzsimons, was struck by three bomb fragments, but was not seriously wounded. His escape was narrow, as there were more than a hundred holes cut in his tent. Lieutenant Smith was struck in the knee and Lieutenant Whidden in the chest while in their tents in the office section of the quadwere on duty as orderlies in the reception tent, and the bomb fell almost upon them. So severely was Private Aubrey S. McLeod injured that it was necessary to amputate both his legs. “Although the explosion of the

WAR BRINGS BIG IRADE CHANGES

Resources of United States Searched as Never Before to Meet New Demands. RIVER TRAFFIC IS INCREASED Upper Reaches of the Mississippi Help Relieve the Congestion on the Railroads—Strontium Ore in Demand. r New York. —One of the most interesting and important developments in the United States at the present time is the manner t in which commerce and industry are gradually adjusting and tensing themselves under the full load of the war strain; curtailing activities here, speeding up there, and reaching out at some points, under the pressure of new needs, to create entire new industries. In industry the resources of the United States are being searched as never before to meet the new demands, and mineral wealth Which has always been there against the time of need, but never before called upon, is being developed, while In commerce new processes, new economies and new efficiency, involving no new discoveries, but latent possibilities in time of peace, are being permanently added to the wealth of the t nation under the pressure of unprecedented demand. *

The whole process is too vast and varied to be seen clearly at one time, but there are several means by which occasional glimpses can be gained. One of these is by the reports of the department of the interior on the mineral resources of the United States, which continually describe the development of new mining activities in metals and chemicals, whose deposits have been known for years, but whose possibilities had not been fully recognized. Another is in the pages of the various technical journals, in which, every week, there is at least one story of a new commercial or industrial idea which has beeh added to the national machinery. • On the Mississippi. In new traffic channels it Is Iron Age which repprts that for the first" time —only a short while moreover—the upper Mississippi has-been opened to ore and coal traffic on a big scale. The Mississippi has been big enough, for years, to carry far more heavy, slow traffic than Its upper reaches, as far as St. Paul, the head of navigation, than ever, apparently, anyone

bombs caused horror In tte hospital, there was not the smallest sign of panic, and the work of discovering the wouhded and collecting thejn was Immediately begun. This was made doubly difficult by the darkness, tut everyone sprang.>to it with .a will. Many of the injured had been blown from their cots, some even outside their tents, where t they were found tangled up iff the tent poles. The American nurse, although struck In the face by a fragment of steel from the bomb, refused to be relieved, and remained at her task courageously to the end. A hospital orderly who worked untiringly was found later to have been struck in the head by a fragment and painfully Injured. He had just tied up his head and gonebn. “In the operating room Capt, Horace Binnoy and Elliott with their assistants worked all night. Several delicate operations were performed and their task was made all the harder by the fact that in innumerable cases the patients wpre in serious danger of infection from the pieces of wood and nails and dirt which had been blown into their bodies. “Lieut. Col. E. U. Pattison, U. S. A., commanding officer of the unit, and Maj. Harvey Cushing, head of the surgical force, the latter being at the front at the time of the disaster, have expressed the highest admiration for the manner in which the emergency was met. Latest reports are that the condition' of the wounded Is progressing satisfactorily.”

INDIANS REFUSE CODDLING

Those Upon the Klamath Reservation Insist They Have Passed Tribal Stage. Klamath Falls, Ore. —Indians on the Klamath Reservation have decided they have passed beyond the .tribal stage and say they want to be allowed to conduct their business and be governed as individuals and not collectively. At a recent meeting of the Klamath Indian Progressive club, the members passed resolutions asking that the government treat them the same as white residents. “Give us a chance,” the resolutions read. The Indians hope to have the tribal timber sold and the proceeds divided among the members. The Klamath Reservation in southern Oregon occupies a territory of about 50 by 60 miles and contains timber and water resources.

thought of putting upon it. Ore trains and coal trains have moved along its banks—for years, moving the freight at a cost per ton mile far beyond the demands of the river, but it took the war to make people realize the full value of the stream. But now that war has come, and the railroads of the entire country are under such a strain as they never before had to bear, people in St. Paul and all the river towns as far down as St. Louis have suddenly perceived that the old Mississippi must do her share. And quite recently six new steel barges, carrying 3,000 tons of coal —the largest cargo ever hauled to the head of navigation on the river—arrived at St. Paul. the vanguard of a new fleet. The development of an entirely new mining industry within the United States, under pressure of the war, is told in a recent bulletin of the Geological survey, on “Strontium In 1916.” 'S For many years large deposits of strontium ore, In the form of celestite crystals (strontium sulphate) and strontianite (strontium carbonate) have been known to exist, often beside beds of limestone which were being actively quarried, in Michigan and Ohio along the shores of Lake Erie, Schoharie county, New York, in West Virginia and Texas, and in California and Arizona. Strontium salts were used in beet-sugar refining, but far more th the manufacture oT-flreworks, because of the brilliant crirfison flame they gave. Market for Strontium. Before the war, however, the market for strontium was so limited, and being confined, moreover, to the Atlantic seaboard, imports of strontium ore from Europe were cheaper than the freight rates from California and Arizona, the only deposits which had ever been worked commercially. The war, however, changed all this In two ways. In the first place, K created a new and tremendous demand for strontium, magnesium, and barium, for vast quantities of signal rock’ ets, flares, etc., both at the front and on the sea. Moreover, here at home the increase in freight traffic on our railroads, due to war demands, necessitated a considerable Increase in the use of signal flares here also.

The new industry was getting on its. feet in 1916. In 1914 about 2,000 short tons of strontium ore had been consumed by American fireworks manufacturers, the commonest form of the refined product being strontium nitrate at around 10 cents a pound or less. Of this 2,000 pounds, the proportion o f domestic ore was so small as not to be worth reporting. In 1916 the consumption of strontium ores had risen nearly a 100 per cent; the price had caused the huge strontium deposits in California and Arizona to be opened and worked for the first time in earnest, and upward of 250 tons of strontium had already been shipped.

New Weather Words.

The esteemed weather bureau has sprung a new one. It is the word “smog,” and ft means smoke or fog. The bureau explains that very frequently there are times when the mixture is apparent in the atmosphere, and it considers the new word a great little Idea. Very well, “smog” let it be. But why end there? Let’s call a mixture of snow and mud “smug,” a mixture of snow and soot “snoot,” and a mixture of snow and hail “snail.” Thus we might have a weather forecast: “Snail today, turning to snoot tonight. tomorrow snoggy with smud.” —Builder’s Guide.

Selective Draft.

Much amusement was caused in the house of commons by the official admission that “by a regretahle clerical error* the national service department had notified the speaker that they proposed to transfer him to new employment at Wolverhampton at about one dollar per day, with a weekly war bonus of a little more than a dollar “on the ground that such employment was deemed of greater national Importance than that on which he was now engaged.”

Up-to-Date Walls.

A row of villas in suburbia were going up apace, and when they were almost finished the builder and his foreman made a tour of inspection. The former left his assistant in one house and went into the house adjoining. “Can you hear me?” called the builder, tapping on the dividing wall. “Yes.” “Can you see me?” “No.” The builder rejoined the foreman, beaming with satisfaction. “Now, them’s what you can call walls!” he said.
