NATURE AND A WOMAN'S WORK ® Nature and a woman’s work combined have produced the grandest remedy for woman’s itis that the world has ever known. In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to * cure disease and mitigate suffering. The Indians on our Western Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baffle the most skilled gysicians who have spent years in e study of drugs. From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their peculiar ills, more potent and efficacious than any combination of drugs. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the i Standard remedy for woman’s ills. Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 N.C. St., Louisiana, Mo., writes: “ Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my troubles public. “For twelve years I had been suffering with the worst forms of female ills. During that time I had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue ean tell what I suffered, and at-times I • could hardly walk. About two years ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice restored health and strength. It Is worth mountains of gold to suffering women.” What Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Muff, (twill do for other suffering women.

People with Eeiems, Ete., Rakt Grievous Error by Taking Medicine Into the Stomach. When your hand is scalded with hot Water until it blisters and burns, you don’t drink medicine to cure it Yon apply a healing lotion to the injured skin. —. /■ Eczema, psoriasis, salt rheum, barber’s itch and other such diseases of the skin cannot be cured by filling the stomach with medicine any ißore than you can cpre a burn by drinking medicine.

The Star Mira.

For the greatest part of the time the variable Mira, which has been known to astronomers for 300,years, is altogether unnoticeable and indeed invisible, except with telescopes. It once disappeared entirely for a period of four years, but afterward attained extraordinary splendor, only to fade again to Invisibility. It is a sun of great size, brighter than our sun when it shines at its brightest, but some trouble, some sßlar disease, seems to be sapping its vitality, and it resembles a patient almost at the last gasp. Once in about 331 days—but the period is irregular—it has a sudden accession of energy and flares up tor a little while with several 'hundredfold brilliancy only to sink back into a dull red point that nearly escapes the ken of tlie telescope. One interesting explanation that has been suggested is that the surface of Mira periodically bursts into a vast flame of burning hydrogen, so great and powerful that' it is visible across millions of millions of miles of space. It Is a star for the imagination of a Dante, yet there is reason to believe that the time is coming when every star in the sky, not excepting the sun, will have to confront a similar struggle for existence, just as every mortal being must some time see death.—Garrett P. Serviss, in New York American.

Grewsome Timepiece.

A prince in faraway India owns a most weird and remarkable clock, says the Philadelphia Record. The dial is replaced by a gong and beneath it on a silver plate lie a heap of artificial human skulls and bones, the component parts of twelve /keletons. When the hands mark the hour of 1 the number of bones making one skeleton come together with a click and invisible mechanism forces the skeleton to its feet. It seizes a mallet, strikes the gong one blow and subsides Into pieces. As the hours strike so many skeletons rise to represent them from the heap and when the hour of noon strikes the sight of twelve' skeletons striking the hour is said by those who have witnessed it to be grewsome and even terror-inspiring. Why not put them on the midnight shift?

RAILROAD MAN

Didn’t Like Being Starved. A num running on a railroad bag to be In good condition all the time or he Is liable to do harm to himself and others. A dear head la necessafy to run a locomotive or conduct a train. Even' a railroad man’s appetite and digestion are matters of importance, as the clear brain and steady hand result from the healthy appetite followed by the proper digestion of food. “For the past five yenrg,” writes a railroader, “I have been constantly troubled with Indigestion. Every doctor I consulted deemed to want to starve me to death. First I was dieted on warm water and toast until I was almost starved'; then, when they would let me eat, the indigestion would be right back again. “Only temporary relief came from remedies, and I tried about all of them I saw advertised. About three months, ago a friend advised me to try Grafts Nuts food. The very first day I noticed that my appetite was satisfied, which had not been the case before, that I can temember. ?ln a week, I believe, I had more energy than ever before In my life. 1 have gained eeven pounds and have not bad ■ touch of Indigestion since I hare beea eating Grajie-Nutß. When my wife saw bow much good thia food was doing me she thought she would try it awhile. We believe the discoverer of Grape-Nuts found the ’Perfect Food.’” Name given by Pootum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read ’The Rood to WeUvlUe," la pkgto “Theea’a a Beaaoto.”

Senator Clay of Georgia announced (hat he intended to have a vote on hi» resolution favoring a federal law’ to aid the States in their efforts to epforce prohibition. The resolution was allowed to go over until .the next meeting. Several addresses were made in the House in connection with the resolutions referring to President’s annual message to the various committees. Representative Sheppard of Texas made a plea for the restoration of the legend, “In God We Trust” to American coins. Mr. Willett of New York sought to blame the recent financial disturbance on President Roosevelt. Representative Hardick of Georgia declared that the only safety for the Republican party lay in the nomination of Taft for President. Mr. Morris of Nebraska spoke in favor of taxing national bank deposits to provide a guarantee fund.

The Senate was not in session Wednesday. In the House a rule was adopted giving the bill to revise, codify and amend the laws the right of way along with other preferred measures. Upon the conclusion of the reading of the bill it was laid aside to permit Mr. Gaines of Tennessee to address the. Housed in favor of an - appropriation for “The Hermitage,” the home of. Andrew Jackson, near Nashville, Tenn. The Brownson affair was brought up in the Senate Thursday, when Senator Hale explained the navy personnel bill. Mr. Tillman intimated that he wisL.-d to call before the committee Witnesses to testify concerning this matter. Mr. Hale replied that he thought there would be no obstacle to allowing the Senator to do that. The Senate adjourned until Monday. Members of the House took part in a lottery for rooms in the new House office building opposite the capitol. Aside from passing two bridge bills the assignment of quarters was the only business transacted.

The Senate was not in session Friday. The House resumed its old activity and for over five hours transacted business of a public nature. Material progress was made with the bill to codify, revise and amend the criminal laws of the United States, which was takan up after some routine bills had been disposed of. An attempt by Mr. Littlefield of Maine to amend the bill so as to afford protection to aliens in the matter of civil rights failed by a decisive vote. The feature of the session was a brief address by Mr. Burleson of Texas, who credited Senator Foraker and other Republicans with having charged the President with the responsibility for the recent financial crisis. Mr. Burleson, became engaged in a lively colloquy with Mr. Payne of New York. was not in session Saturday. A vigorous fight was w-aged in the House of Representatives over the bill to codify and revise the penal laws of the United States, with particular reference against the civil rights of citizens. Messrs. Smith of Missouri and Hughes of New Jersey, offered amendments-,-har-ms; for their object the exemption of labor unions from the operation of the s?ct.oi» whenever such unions declare strikes or boycotts. A motion to strike out the whole section was made by Mr. Bartlett of Georgia. The brunt of ihe debate was borne by Mr. Sherley of Kmlucky, a member of the Committee on Revision, but he was supported by a number of Republicans. These amendijionts wire all lost, as was one by Mr. Pe Armona to strike out Section 20. It is likely that discussion of the bill on poinc»i«f law will be indulged from time to .time foi several weeks.

Aeronaughtyness.

“O, Mr. Sitninons,” gushed one of the fair guests, “didn’t It seem frightful to you to be away up in the air, going farther and farther from the earth, aa if you were an independent body in Space?” “Why, no, Mrs. Jymee,” said the aeronaut { "it so awfully terrifying.

Reduced Sice.

After a concert at Manchester, England, Joachim, the great violinist, whose death occurred recently, the railway; station, waiting for a train. * - " A respectable-looking man, apparently a navvy in his best clothes, paced at his side a while, watching him with close interest. Finally he asked for a llghi, and got It. As he drew at his pipe to get it started, he looked Joachim full lu the face. Then, just as he was about to go on, he tapped the violinist’s chest impressively. “But Paganini was the man,” said he. Joachim used to say, declares the narrator of this story, that he never felt so small in his life. Whole pages of learned musical criticism had never begun to whittle him down so fine.

Doing It Well.

Miss Wentworth was first attracted to the man as he sat on the park bench by a certain happy relaxation of his body. He sat at ease, with a primitive poise and naturalness rarely seen in this age of unrest Yet he was poorly clad, in well-washed overalls of a dim blue, and looked like a laborer. After she had passed him, on her daily walk through the park, many times, she decided that he was a gardener’s helper, and determined to find out. “I suppose you are engaged in the park?” she hazarded. “No, I ain’t,” he replied, placidly. “I’m doin’ nothin’.” '

A Tragedy of Paris.

The tragedy of an artist’s life had R melodramatic denouement in a Montmartre case in Paris recently. Some yean ago a pianist named Margay married a girl of great beauty against the advice of his friends. She deserted him and, though he constantly besought her to return, preferred a life of less restraint. Brooding over bis loss,Margay fell on evil days, and sank lower and lower, living in an attic and being sometimes arrested for drunkenness and vagabondage. The other night as he wandered aimlessly past the door of a case oh the Boulevard de Clichy he saw his wife eater with a man. Margay followed, clad in rags, and in spite of the waiters went to a piano which stood in the center of the room. Seating himself, with his eyes on hla wife, hb played <'funeral dirge and then -the “Dead March;” No one tried to stop him. A deep sob broke from him as he struck the final chord. He rose to his feet, staggered through the> room and at the door drove a dagger through his Heart.
