How Many Women Are Like This? Can anything be more wearing for women than the ceaseless round of household duties? Oh I the monotony of it all—work and drudge; no time to he sick; tired, ailing, yet cannot stop. There comes a time when something “ snaps ” and they find themselves “ simply worn out,” and to make matters worse,have contractedserious feminine disorder which almost always follows the constant overtaxing of a woman’s strength. Then they should remember that there is no remedy like Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound—the experience of these two women establishes that fact:

Cedar Rapids, la.—“ After the birth of my last child I had such painful spells that would unfit me entirely for my housework. I suffered for months and the doctor said that my trouble was organic ulcers and I would have to have an operation. That was an awful thing to me, with a young baby and four other children, bo one day I thought of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and how it had helped me years before and I decided to try it again. I took five bottles of Vegotable Compound and used Lydia E. Pinkham’s Sanative Wash and since then I have been a well woman, able to take care of my house and family without any trouble dr a day’s pain. I am ready and thankful to swear by your medicine any time. lam fortyfour years old and ha ve not had a day ’s illness of any kind for three years.” —Mrs. H.

“WHEN KNIGHTS WERE BOLD” Days of the Tournament and the Joust Must Have Seen Some Pretty Lively “Scraps." The national sports of Europe were for a h>ng time confined to tournaments and jousts, most of which were participated in by nobility, with the "king as a spectator. The tournaments saw companies of from five to a dozen knights ranged against each other in the field, with judges to see that the regularly set rules be observed. The plan of each contestant was to unhorse the other by a blow with a blunt lance received full from in front. A knight thrown by a side blow was considered the victor in that it showed horsemanship on the part of the other. The joust was entirely different from the tournament, being virtually a duel, and usually a fight to death. Knights seeking to fasten themselves to a saddle and thus save themselves from being thrown, were deprived of knighthood. The knight was permitted to wear an outer garment over his armor, thus lending a gay appearance to mor, thus lending a gay appearance to the contending forces. Relaxation. “You’re getting the reputation Os being the prize grouch of Crimson Gulch!” exclaimed Three-Finger Sam.» “I know it,” answered the ex-bar-tender. “The boys don’t understand. For years they had me nailed where I had to laugh at their jokes or lose their custom. I’m enjoyin’ a long, blissful holiday.”

Sandusky, Ohio.—“ After thebirth of my baby I had organic trouble. My doctor said it was caused by too heavy lifting and I would have to have an operation. I would not consent to an operation and let it go for over a year, having my sister do my work for me as I was not able to walk. One day my aunt came to see me and tola me abont your medicine—said it cured her of the same thing. I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and used Lydia E. Pinkham’s Sanative Wash and they have cured me. Now I do my own housework, washing and ironing and sewing for my family and also do sewing for other people. I still take a bottle of VegOtable Compound every spring for a tonic. I recommend your medicine to others who have troubles similar to mine and you can use my letter if you wish."—Mrs. Paul Papenfus*,l32s Stone St.,Sandusky,Ohio.

What must have been the excitement in Yuma, Ariz., when on January 4 rain fell there for the first time in 45 years? Grown men and women, young men and women, boys and girls who had never seen rain gazed in alarm or delight or wonder at an amazing sight; they saw the heavens veiled for the first time, and water falling from the gray curtain drawn across their sky of brilliant blue! Probably the little ones were soon barefoot and paddling about In puddles; men and boys throwing off their coats more intimately to feel the delights of a cloud-sent shower bath. A shower took on the proportions of an event; a natural phenomenon reached the heights of a treat. A Little Gossip Now and Then. “Jermalon tells me that his wife Is very angry with you because you did not keep your promise not to tell anybody what she told you about her sister-in-law,” says Mr. Pilfickler, reprovingly. “Well, she has no reason to censure me," asserts Mrs. Pilfickler. “I never confided it to anybody except you.” “That’s just it, my dear. I happened to mention it to one or two of the fellows downtown, and they spread it around until it came to Jermalon’s ears, and he told his wife about it. I don’t see why it is you women have to gossip all the time.”—Atlanta Constitution.

all in IS lOW IN ACCORD AMICABLE RELATIONS EXISTING DEMONSTRATED IN SECOND FINANCIAL CONGRESS. MEXICO IS ONLY SORE SPOT Other Governments of the Western Hemisphere Are Working Together for the Permanent Solution of Numerous International Problems. By JAMES P. HORNADAY. W ashington. — Whatever the relations between the United States and the world as a whole may be In the future, it can be said with certainty that this country’s relations with the nations of the western hemisphere were never before as cordial as they are at this time. If anything were needed to demonstrate the good relationship existing between the governments of the Americas, the meeting of the second Pan-American ‘financial conference, which has Just concluded a week’s session here, supplied that need. Every government, from the Canadian border on the north to Cape Horn on the south, was represented at this conference. A spirit of oneness so far as the United States, Central and South America are concerned dominated the meeting. The only fly In the ointment was Mexico, and even with respect to that unruly neighbor there was the general feeling that In time she will behave herself. There Is now a sort of umvritten understanding that the United States and the South and Central American governments will work together for the good of each other and for the good of the whole world. For a good many years the United States and the American governments to the south of her, with the exception of Mexico, have been inclining toward a harmonious family, but it was not until March, 1915, that the first actual step toward- complete unity of thought and purpose Was taken. Ort March 12, 1915, President Wilson Invited all the American governments to send delegates to a conference with the secretary of the treasury here with a view to establishing “closer and more satisfactory financial relations between the American republics.” Started Five Years Ago. It thus came about that there assembled in Washington on Monday, May 24, 1915, under the chairmanship of the secretary of the treasury, the first Pan-American financial conference. The subjects, submitted to the conference embraced public finance, the monetary situation, the existing banking situation, the financing of public improvements and all private enterprises, the extension of inter-Amer-ican markets, the merchant marine and improved facilities of transportation. It was a program that went beyond the emergencies growing out of the war, which at that time was beginning to draw the wprld into its vortex. The conference did not confine itself to the adoption of temporary devices; It sought to meet a permanent need by establishing an organization which should devote Itself to the carrying out of a task whose importance was not to be measured by temporary conditions, whether of war or peace. The thought behind that first financial conference of the Americas was that If the countries of the western hemisphere could be bound together financially they would be bound together every other way. That thought, It seems, fell on fertile soil for all the countries of the western hemisphere, with the exception of Mexico, have since the adjournment of that first financial conference worked together for the solution of numerous problems. Subjects That Are Handled. An organization which took the name of the international high commission was created at that first PanAmerican financial conference, and it is through this organization that the governments of the Americas have worked together harmoniously. The international high commission held Its first general meeting at Buenos Aires In Apiril* 1916. At that meeting it" included In Its deliberations the question of international agreements touching the Americas, on uniform labor legislation, the uniformity of regulations covering classification and analysis of petroleum and other mineral fuels, with reference to national development policies, the necessity of better transportation facilities between the American republics; better banking facilities; the extension of credit; the financing of public and private enterprises, and the stabilization of international exchange; telegraph facilities and rates, and the use of wireless telegraphy for commercial purposes. Work on all these subjects has been steadily and energetically pressed, as was shown at the second Pan-Ameri-can conference, which has jnst closed its sessions here. Panama Canal Prospering. The Panama canal is . just beginning to demonstrate 'its real worth. The period of time that elapsed between its completion and the beginning of the world war in 1914 was so brief that the United States was not able to gain accurate information as to its usefulness, and as to Its success financially. As the war progressed the waterway naturally became of less Importance. During the last two years Its traffic was limited largely-to the coastwise trade of the western

NO SAFETY IN SECLUSION. A good old lady in a town not far frorfl here piously thanked Providence each day of her life that she was not exposed to the perils that missionaries In savage countries incurred.

Yet none could have lived a more sheltered and secluded life than she.

hemisphere. From the day the armistice was signed business began to pick op and it has' continued to Increase month by month until it la now in a most satisfactory condition. More ships passed through the canal during the month of December, 1919, than in any preceding month, and new records were established for net ,tonnage, tolls ahd cargo. During that month a total of 281 ocean-going ships made the transit with an aggregate net displacement tonnage of 957,109 and a total cargo of 953,901 tons. The commercial ships numbered 261. Included In the total boats that went through during the month were 20 United States government ships. The total tolls collected In December amounted to $891,375.70, of which $448,541.58 was on traffic bound from the Atlantic to the Pacific and $442,834.12 on that bound from the Pacific to the Atlantic. On the basis of the December business the annual income from the canal would be approximately $11,000,000. Second Canal May Be Needed. With the treaty of peace in force as to the governments of the world, with the exception of the United States and Germany, the traffic through the canal is now beginning to represent daily the important nations of the world. The first ocean-going German vessels to pass through the canal under the Germnn flag since the war began in 1914 were two tugs which made the transit from the Atlantic to the Pacific, on January 12, on their way from Hamburg to Valparaiso. They were manned by German crews, but were traveling under orders of the British admiralty, and their mission was to tow disabled ex-German vessels from Valparaiso to Liverpool for overhauling. There is every reason to believe that the business of the canal will continue to increase at a rapid rate, and so firmly is this belief established that in government circles there is a good deal of talk to the effect that It Is only a question of time, and probably of a limited period of time, until a second canal will have to be built to take care of the traffic passing from the Atlantic to the Pacific by this shortened route. Some wellinformed men whose duties pertain to the business of the canal express the view that within ten years congress will be called on to order the construction of a second canal. Os course this may all be Idle talk, bub It can be said with certainty that the canal has proved a great success, a success even beyond the dreams of the men who were most active in promoting the enterprise, among them the late Theodore Roosevelt. Congress Wants to Quit June 1. The leaders in congress are beginning to talk of an adjournment by June 1, so as to enable the senators and representatives to attend the national political conventions, but meantime good progress is not being made with pending legislation. Men who are influential on the steering cofnmittees of the two branches of the legislative body have passed the word down the line that If the memberships of the two houses desire an adjournment as early as June 1, they will have to get down to work and see that necessary legislation Is disposed of promptly. Os course the six months’ discussion of the treaty of peace with Germany in the senate is to a large extent rasponsible for the legislative congestion. Although this congress came together the third week in April last year, it was not until the first of January, this year, that the senate was in position to begin giving serious consideration to general legislation. Even at that late date deliberations were frequently interrupted by outbreaks on the treaty. The house of representatives naturally feels that a good deal of its work since last April has counted for nothing. It has sent over to the senate a long list of bills that have not been touched by the upper branch of the legislative body. Worried About Railroad Bills. Just now the situation with respect to railroad legislation is giving the leaders in the two houses a good deal of concern. In brief the situation with respect to the legislation Is this: In the message which he sent from Paris in April last year President Wilson said to congress that unless it had In the meantime made provision for the return of the railroads to the companies he would turn them back on January 1, 1920. Congress on the strength of that warning began to give some attention to railroad legislation, but it was late in the year before the subject was well in hand. Toward the end of the year, it will be recalled, the president, seeing that congress would not be ready with legislation for the regulation of the roads under private management by January 1, announced through proclamation that he would turn the roads back on March 1, 1920. That decision afforded congress two additional months in which to complete its legislation. The senate passed what was known as the Cummins bill and the house the Esch bill. Taking the position that its bill offers constructive legislation while the house bill merely proposes corrective legislation, the senate is disinclined to yield on the main provision of its bill, and as long as this situation exists the legislation cannot be completed. In the meantime preparations for turning the roads back to their owners are going forward. The railroad administration, which built up a large organization here, is being dissolved, and it seems reasonably certain that the roads will go back on the date fixed by the president, regardless of whether or not any legislation affecting them shall have been enacted by that time.

ABOUT DIAMONDS. Only about 50 per cent pf rough diamonds are cut into gems and lose about 60 per cent of their weight In being cut and polished. Diamonds are practically Indestructible and the first diamond ever mined may possibly still be In existence. But estimate allows for the loss of at least 1,000,000 carats by flood, fire, shipwreck and other disasters. These reductions and losses leave the total of cut and polished diamonds at 46,355,474 carats.

GREAT SOLDIERS POOR SHOTS Neither Napoleon Nor Wellington ~ Could Have Qualified as Marksmen, Even in Slow Company. Wellington, the “Iron Duke,” frequently stayed at Maresfield park, the estate in Sussex owned by Prince Munster von Dernburg. Sir John Shelley named Maresfield park in Wellington’s time, and Lady Shelley records in her diary a woeful exhibition by the duke during one of his visits. “I accompanied the guns in the afternoon,” she writes on September 8, 1819. “The hero of Waterloo was a very wild shot. After wounding a retriever aDd later on peppering a keeper’s gaiters, he sprinkled the bare arms of an old woman who chanced to be washing clothes at her cottage window. ‘My good woman,’ I said, ‘this ought to be the proudest moment of your life. You have had the distinction of being shot by the duke of Wellington.’ . . H Her face was wreathed in smiles as- the contrite duke slipped a gold coin Into her hand.” Wellington shared his weakness as a poor shot with Napoleon, whose sole bag was a dog the only time ha went out game shooting.” Old Practice. “Do you believe doctors have a right to kill where they can’t cure?” “Haven’t they always been doing It?”

MANY USES FOR QUICKSILVER Semi-Precious Metal, Much in Demand, Is Becoming Scarce—Sometimes Employed as Drug. Quicksilver Is one of the semi-pre-cious metals, and is gradually becoming scarce. The metal is noted for its many uses, besides the familiar one in the thermometer. Its tendency to unite with gold into an amalgam causes its chief use. The, mercury is spread over a copper plate over which the gold ore is washed. The gold from Its weight comes in contact with the plate and is promptly amalgamated with the quicksilver,, from which it is separated by heat Quicksilver Is also known for Its use as a medicine when rubbed to a fine, globular powder with rose water, under the name of blue mass. Among the chemical compounds of quicksilver is bichloride of mercury, made by heating a mixture of mercuric sulphate and common salt This Is sometimes taken as a poison eM results in painful and lengthy suflS?Ing and in death. Quicksilver is also very essential to the manufacture of high-class mirrors.
