JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

Which is' Better Try an Experiment . or Profit by a Richmond Citicen's Experience. Something new is an experiment. Must be proved to be as represented. The statement of a manufacturer is not convincing proof of merit. But the endorsement of friends is. Now supposing you had a bad back. A Lame, Weak or Aching one. Would you experiment on It? You will read of many so-called cures. Endorsed by strangers from faraway places. It's different when the endorsement comes from home. Easy to prove local testimony. Home endorsement is the proof that backs every box of Doan's Kidney Pills. Read this case. Mrs. Fred Heater, 607 N. Thirteenth street. Richmond. Ind.. says: "Doan's Kidney Pills were used in my family several years ago with the best or results in a case of backache. This remedy was procured at A. G.

Lewis-Oliver Stock company, indefinite. "Camille" Tonight. "Camille," the greatest emotional drama ever written, and Madame Sarah Bernhardt's masterpiece, will be presented by the Lewis-Oliver Players at the Murray theater tonight. The play is in five acts, the scenes all beine laid in Paris. Mademoiselle Ca mille, gay, talkative and restless, who was fond of excitement and enjoyed dancing, finally falls in love with Armand, and herein lies the plot of the story. Miss Frost will play the part of "Camille," and Jack Carrington will be seen as "Armand." Special scenery has been painted for the occasion. There will be matinees on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday of every week. "Not Guilty" is the underlined attraction for the balance of the week. Searchlight on the Sky Mrs. E. A. Bishop of Brooklyn, N. Y. says: "I should like to have the merits of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound thrown on the sky with a searchlight, so that all suffering worn en could read and be convinced that tnerr is a rmeajr fur tuetr ills. For years I was a great sufferer from organic female troubles and had despaired of ever being well again, but found relief in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which I tried as a last resort." For nearly forty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills. OUR UNCLE SAM. His Nickname, It Is Claimed, Originated In Troy, N. Y. Troy, N. Y., is said to be the place where the name "Uncle Sam" originated, says the New York Sun. After the last declaration of war with England by the colonies a New York contractor, Elbert Anderson, visited Troy and made it his headquarters for the purchase of provisions for the Continental army. The supplies were duly inspected before shipment. One of the inspectors was Samuel Wilson, brother of Ebenezer, also an inspector and known as Uncle Sam to the workmen whom he superintended. The casks in which the beef and pork were packed were marked with the initials of Elbert Anderson, the contractor, and the United States, thus: 'E. A. U. S." The first pair of initials were of course familiar to the men, but the "U. S." stumped them. The fact was that the name United States was then so new to these countrymen that its initials were a complete puzzle. They turned to the nearest explanation, a humorous one and intended as a joke on their boss. If "E. A." stood for Elbert Anderson, then, they opined, "U. S." must stand for "Uncle Sam" Wilson. The joke spread to the continental army, which carried it to every part of the country. FLAX WEAVING IS ANCIENT. And the Process Has Improved but Little In Forty Centuries. Flax weaving, according to a recent authority, is 4,000 years old as an inOwry. Egypt was the first country to tqe flax. All fine table linen is made tfeom. . water spun flax, as water is essent'4 to its manufacture. Vapor has been tried, but unsuccessfully. The process of manufacture has improved but lit-Je in 4,000 years, the linen made by b.e Egyptians being often found in an excellent state of preservation, wrappea about the bodies of mummies. There Is no grass bleacbed linen today, as grass bleaching is too slow a process. Chemicals are used to shorten the work. Very little flax is raised In the United States because the air contains too little moisture. The finest lawns and handkerchiefs are made in Ireland, aud the Scotch linens wear perhaps better than any. Straight Hue patterns do not wear a well as fisures with mtiudtNl edges. lu siutcle thread damask the same number of threads run each way. In double thread damask there is double the number of threads in the weft, which doubles the wear. New York Tost.

CENSUS GIVEN ON SCHOOUHILOREN United States Census Department Makes a Very In

teresting Report. i. (National News Association) WASHINGTON, D. C, June 24. A preliminary statement giving the number of persons of school age and the number and proportion attending school, as shown by the returns of the thirteenth census, taken April 15, 1910, was issued today by Director Durand, of the Bureau of Census, Department of Commerce and Labor. The statistics were prepared under the direction of William C. Hunt, chief statistician for population in the Bureau of the census, and are subject to revision. The census inquiry as to school attendance was merely as to whether the persons had attended any kind of school at any time from September 1, 1909, to the date of enumeration, April 15, 1910. The statistics herein presented relate only to persons from 6 to 20 years of age; they do not include persons under 6 or over 20 years who may have attended school during the period named. The total number of persons of school age, that is, from 6 to 20 years. inclusive, in continental United States in 1910 was 27,750,599, of whom 17,300,202, or 62.3 per cent., attended school. Persons from 6 to 9 years of age numbered 7,725,234, of whom 5,678,320, or 73.5 per cent., attended school. Of the whole number of persons from 15 to 17 years of age, namely, 5,372,177, those attending school, numZ . "1 TZCirr" Z 20 years of age there were 844 835. or 1 C f Vi -v o tt jrr H an orn rnl For the combined group 6 to 14 inclusive the most common years of school attendance, there was a total of 16,832,374 persons reported in 1910, and of this number, 13,706,980, or 81.4 percent attended school. The period of maximum school attendance is in the ages 10 to 14 years. For these years a comparison can be made with the census of 1900. In 1900 79.8 per cent of the children attended school, a3 compared with 88.2 per cent, in 1910 The following summary gives the percentage of children 10 to 14 years of age attending school in each of the years 1910 and 1900, by geographic divisions 110. 1900. United States 88.2 79.8 New England 91.4 90.0 East North Central 93.8 88.Middle Atlantic 92.9 85.7 88.3 65.6 West North Central 93.6 South Atlantic 78.7 East South Central 79.0 65.8 85.2 68.3 91.8 iiountain 90.2 UvBt south Central 80.5 paciflc 914 In the northern and western sions over nine-tenths of the dren are enrolled in schools. In the three southern divisions, the proportion approximates eight-tenths. A j comparison of the two shows an ad vance in all sections, but it is most marked in the southern states, reflecting the great progress of popular education in recent years. Every Points to

Could Not Sleep Nights SUFFERER FROM SKIN TROUBLE TELLS HOW HE FOUND RELIEF IN SAXO SALVE.

"I sufered from a severe skin affection so I could not sleep nights. I was almost crazy with itching. I would scratch and almost tear myself to pieces. I tried a great many reme dies without relief. When I saw Saxo Salve advertised I decided to try it and one tube entirely cured me. I recommend it wherever I go." A. L. Morgan, Endicott, N. Y. Many persons around here suffer so , much from eczema that they cannot sleep at night. Saxo Salve stops the terrible itching and soothes and heals the eruptions. In all kinds of eczema, salt rheum, tetter, . barber's itch, etc., Saxo Salve has wonderful healing power because it penetrates the skin pores and destroys the germs at the very seat of the disease.

An English sparrow flew into the flying cage in the zoo and began helping Itself to the cracked corn thrown upon the ground by the keeper. A Brazilian stork quietly approached aud shot out its six Inch red beak and caught the sparrow. Going to the fountain, the big bird dipped the little one in the water and then swallowed it and looked about for more. "Oh, you cannibal! Tou ought to get a beating!" exclaimed a woman visitor. "The sparrow ought to know better than to go in there explained the keeper. "The stork has been eating half a dozen of these birds a week since be came here. The English sparrow has a quick eye and is quick on Prowling: cats, but doesn't suspect any. , J oQ t is getting fat on a sparrow diet." New York Sun. True to His Promise. "Dearest, will you let me share your every sorrow after we are married?" she whispered as she cuddled her cheek against his. "Yes, darling," he replied, again plucking a delicious kiss from her sweet lips.

BOSTON REVOLTED.

Ween Commodore Knowles WerkvJ His Press Gang In 1747. In the year 1747 a great tumult was raised In tbe town of Boston. Commodore Knowles. while lying at Nantucket with a number of men of war. losing some of bis men by desertion, thought it reasonable that Boston should snpply him with as many men as be bad lost He therefore sent bis boats uptown early in tbe morning and surprised not only as many seamen as could be found on board of any of the boats outward bound as well as others, but swept tbe wharfs, taking some ship carpenters' apprentices and landsmen. This conduct was resented. As soon as it was dusk several people assembled In King street, below tbe town house, where the general court was sitting. Stones and brickbats were thrown into the council chamber through tbe windows. A Judicious speech of tbe governor from the balcony, disapproving of the Impress and promising his utmost endeavors to obtain the discharge of tbe persons impressed, had no effect. Tbe seizure and restraint of the commanders and other officers who were in town were insisted upon as tbe only effectual method to procure the release of tbe inhabitants on board tbe shins. Tbe militia was summoned in aid of the government, but refused to appear. Letters in tbe meantime passed between tbe governor and tbe commodore. Tbe council and bouse of representatives now passed some vigorous resolutions, and tbe tumultuous spirit began to subside. Finally tbe commodore dismissed most If not all of the inhabitants who bad been Impressed, and the squadron sailed, She Did. "Jack proposed to me while turning the music for me nt the piano. "Ah.

The Wedding Cake. The custom t having a special cake at weddings was introduced into England by the Romans. This cake. or. rather." biscuit, signified fruitfulneRa, hospitality and prosperity. The rice that was showered upon a bride had a similar meaning. For many centuries after the Romans left the custom was to break the biscuit over the bride's head, and then the fragments were picked up and piled before her for distribution to her friends. At the restoration Charles II. returned with a small army of French cooks, who speedi'y converted the ancient biscuit into a delicious piece of confectionery, iced" It with sugar and fcradually adorned it with emblematical devices till it towered into the amazing structure which the luxury of later times has developed.
