THE AIRY GIRAFFE. WISE WILLIE. mm 1 V U IV If you had positive proof that a certain remedy for female ills had made many remarkable cures, would you not feel like trying it ? If during the last thirty years we have not succeeded in convincing every fair-minded woman that Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound has cured thousands and thou sands of women of the ills peculiar to their sex, then we long for an opportunity to do so by direct correspondence. Meanwhile read the following letters which we guarantee to be genuine and truthful. Iludson, Ohio." I suffered for a lonjr time from a weakness. Inflammation, dreadful pains eucu month and suppression. I had been doctoring and receiving only temporary relief, when a friend advised me to tako Lydia E. lMnkhaiu's Vegetable Coin Found. I did so, and wrote to you for advice. I have fait hf ully ollowed your directions and now, after taking only five bottles of the Vegetable Compound, I have every reason to believe I ara a well woman. I give you full permission to uko my testimonial." Mrs. Lena Carmoclno. Hudson, Ohio. It. 1 1. Ho. 7. St. Reels Falls. N. Y.

There is absolutely no doubt about the ability of this grand old remedy, made from I the roots and herbs of our fields, to cure female diseases. We possess volumes of proof of this fact, enough to convince the most skeptical. For 30 years Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female Ills. No sick woman does justice to herself who will not try this famous medicine. Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and has thousands of cures to its credit. Mrs. Pink ham Invites all sick women I" to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health free of charge.

It is n I0115 time since brooms cnr.ie Into use. Their Invention was of grent benefit to the world In aiding to keep It elcnn but have you ever cou slrtereu another phnse of their use fulness? Since brooms have been In use, Just ho long have broomsticks over hnd a peculiar charm to boys. The average boy can extract more amusement from the broomstick than almost anything else with which he comes In contact, says People's Home Journal. Divide tho players In pairs of teams of two, providing as many broom-t-tlcks as there happen to be teams. Then direct them to grosp their re spective broomsticks as shown In the accompanying Illustration, each facing In the opposite direction.

E GAL-VA-NIT TRIPLE ASPHALT COATEDMICA PLATED ROOFING Is Approved of and Recommended by Fire Insurance Companies Tha letter reproduced above was sent to us voluntarily by one of the big flre insurance companies that insures big, costly milling plants, and who demand, as a matter of protection on these extraordinary risks, that every precaution be taken in the construction of the plants to safeguard them as muoh as possible against fire. The fact that they approve and recommend Gal-va-nite indicates that they recognize that its fire-resisting qualities make it desirable tor these big risks. YOU might a well have the benefit of this quality on YOUR roofs. Put on Gal-va-nite and you reduce the cost of your insurance. You will b taking tho minimum risk of having your buildings catch fire. You will reduce your repair bills, as Gal-va-nite will last as long as your building without painting or repairing. And, you will be getting a roofing every roll of which is absolutely guaran teed. We make Gal-va-nite in our own factories and know just how each roll Is made and we have confidence enough in it to back it up with our guarantee. We use a heavy wool felt, triple coated on both sides with mineral asphalt It is then coated on both sides with flaked Mica, a mineral product that never wears out It is this coating of Mica that insulates Gal-va-nite against the danger of sparks and fire brands. Gal-va-nite will not crack, and because it is pliable is easy to lay. One man with a hammer and lack knife can do it. Comes in rolls o' 108 square feet with nails, cement and full directions for laying. You can get Gal-va-nite at your dealer's. If not, write us and we will send you our free book on roofing together with samples of Gal-va-nite. UNION ROOFING & MFG. CO. 200 Union Road St. Paul, Minn. For DISTEMPER Pink Eye.

The funny part of the fore-and aft race is that the chnp who faces the front Invarlnbly tries to carry the boy facing the rear off his feet in his efforts to make speed. He forgets that It Is impossible for his team mute to run backward half as fast as ho runs forward, so the chances are there will bo a good many trip-tips and the race will be won by tho pair who can best adapt their Irregular palt to each other in stead of the swiftest contestants. Now, as you will see, head work Is more apt to win when It is coupled with the footwork than speedy foot work alone. So use your heads to regulate your feet; in other words, use good "teamwork," as they say in athletics, and you'll be successful In this broomstick pnstime of the "fore-and-aft race." King Gcorge'a Only Daughter Learnt How to Operate Typewriter To Learn Stenography. Princess Mary, King George's; only daughter, has recently learned to use a typewriter. There are two women typists at tached to the secretarial staff of Marl borough House, which is the klng'i residence, one of whom, at tho prin cess' request, taught her how to op erate the machine. The princess proved an ant pupil and devoted her self so assiduously to the work that after a few weeks of Instruction and practise she was able to work a type writer at a fair rate of speed. Durinc the reigning family's recre ntlon at Balmoral. Scotland, her royal highness will assist in typing some of her father's more private correspond ence. The princess Intends to learn ste nography also and la keenly looking forward to helping her mother, Queen Mary, regularly with her correspond ence when the roynl family Is settled In micklngham palace. This princess was tho first royal rersonage to open an account In tho postofflce savings bank, which she did three years ago on her tenth birthday. " ' ' sir ZINC TOWN TO BE A MODEL Will Have Elevated Railroad and Many Advantages la an Im mense Enterprise. According to well established re ports, Stephen S. Talmer of Now York president of tho New Jersey Zlnt company of Pennsylvania, who ha been at Rtatlngton, Pa., for evcra months personally supervising the construction of a new $10,000,000 plant, has also arranged with the Chestnut talH railroad for an extension !rom Its present terminus at Kttnkle :own, Monroo county, to Stroudsburg, lo connect with the Lackawanna rnllroad. Mr. Palmer's project la said to bo rivaled In America this year only by two other great Industrial organiza tions one at Gary, Ind., by the United States Steel trust, and the other at South Bethlehem, by Charles M Schwab, For many years tho parent plant of the New Jersey Zinc com pany of Pennsylvania was in South Bethlehem. The workmen of tho plant, many of whom 40 years ago came here from France and Belgium, to produce zinc, are the best and most respected craftsmen In tho town. When, during the Bethlehem steel strike, the rioters assaulted workmen indiscriminately, Mr. Palmer decided to abandon the plnnt there and concen trate his Industry in the Paltncrton lection, where tho new plant was lo cated and tho town named for him The Immensity of tho enterprise can bo imagined from the fact that the furnaces and reducers will be scattered along a range of five miles, and to adjust itself to new conditions, the Central Railroad of New Jersey has decided to abandon two old sta tions and erect a new one In the cen ter of tho works at a cost of 100,000. It has been decided by Mr. Palmer to spend $1,000,000 to make an eleva ted railroad, first, for the safety of the workmen and their children, part ly for economic advantages and to preserve the beauty of tho town.

STANDARD OIL CO. (Im'orpontletl) With Little Practice One May Suc cessfully Imitate Very Many Objects. Take a piece of rubber or elastic and run a pin through it as the figure shows. Twirling the ends of the elastic vertically between your thumbs and forefingers, and separat ing the hands in order to tighten it, you give the object a sufficiently swift rotation to enable it to produce the image of a drinking goblet, says Mag- lea!

TELLING AGES OF ANIMALS Not Yet Possible to Determine Age at Which Many Sea and Land Creatures Die. Some sea creatures and a few land creatures live so long that it has not yet been possible for man to deter mine the age at which it Is natural for them to die. It Is stated, for In stance, that in 1497, In a European lake, a pike was caught which could not ave been less than 270 years old. There was a brass ring in the fish's lower Jaw, and on the ring an Inscrip tion showing that the ring was placed there In the year 1230 267 years pre viously. Again, if the bone plates in a whale's mouth, which are said to Increase regularly each year, are an Indication of the creature's age, as Is believed, then 400 years is not an un usual lifetime for a whale. Even the common ring trout lives from 30 to 60 years. The natives of India believe that elephants live to be 300 years old. One was kept in captivity 150 years, and the age of the animal at the time of his capture was not known. Camels normally die between the ages of 40 and DO, horses from 20 to 30, oxen at 20, sheep at 8 or 9 and dogs at 12 or 14. Swans 100 years old and ravens older have been known, while pheas ants and ordinary chickens live 12 or 15 years provided they do not find their way to the frying pan many sea sons earlier. Pillow Climbing. In the middle of the floor, some lit tle distance apart, place sofa cushions, stools, umbrella stands, large vases, etc. From among the company choose some one who has never been "hoaxed" and usk him to first walk over the course around and between these articles, so as to fix In his mind their situation and distance apart lie is then blindfolded and told to find his way carefully among them again bo as not to touch anything. Very gingerly bo will do so, and when triumphant over his success the bandage is taken from bis eyes, to his surprise, not an article remains or. the floor. All were quickly and tpiletly removed while be was being blind folded. Ills cautious movements and tack ing here and tbere to avoid the ob stacles that are not there, make fun for the onlookers. Where Size Counts. Edna thoughtfully considered a cow fiat was calmly grazing in a meadow across the ay. "Mamma, how old is that cow," she .Inally Inquired. "She is four years old," . answered Edna'B mother. Edna considered the answer and from time to time ap peared to be comparing herself with the cow. "Well," was her parting comment on the ques'.h.n, "I'm five and that cu'v U h!;r i:;ct'h to be fifty. - Here's a Riddle.

Taris has accepted unflinchingly the doctrine that smooth and clean highways are a wise investment, and that so long ns tho work is dono in a thorough and scientific manner, with an honest and skillful application of means to ends, the result is worth having, regardless of cost. The ex ponso of maintaining, cleaning, and sprinkling the streets is greater thnn in any other European city; but the sort of pro-eminence that such a street service helps to secure Is prolltablo In a hundred Indirect ways, writes Harvey N. Sheppard, In the Outlook. Paris has by far the richest park equipment of any city in the world. Tho area of parks within an after noon's excursion is 20,000 acres, while farther away are more extensive pub lic grounds, such ac Versailles and Fontalnehloau. It Is Impossible to estimate the profits which Paris da- rlves annually from its parks, boule vards and public buildings Bunker have estimated that Americans spenn upwards of 500 million dollars annu ally in foreign countries, and It is safe to say that Paris receives at least one-fifth of this vast sum, the profits from which are as great as are the profits from iork to Chicago, shoes to St. IxniiB, and beer to Milwaukee. The experience of Paris ought lo convince the most skeptical that there is no modern community of civilized men which cannot afford to provide the most perfect public appointments that technical and scientific knowl edge have discovered; will-made and clean streets, good water, proper drainage, convenient transit facilities, complete schools, and thorough sani tary organizations. No city should think itself rich enough to prosper without them, and no city Is so poor '.hat it cannot afford them.

Carter at a Nashville banquet was talking about campaign comrades. "Then there was Dash of Company A," he said. "Dash had the reputa tion of being the nastiest tongued man In the regiment "It was Private Dash, you know, who, out foraging one evening on rich estate, came accidentally upon the owner's wife, a grande dame In evening dress. "Dash asked her for food. She re fused him. He asked again. But, still refusing, she walked away. "No," she said, "I'll give you noth ing, trespassing like this; IH give you nothing.

"Oh, yes I will," replied the boy, "it will have to ache a good deal harder before I'll quit eat ing." Just this form of heroism will stand in the way of any wholesale movement to drive the excess of con sumers In the city back to the coun try to become direct producers. They will complain of high prices, low wages (about twl e what the same grade of labor on farms receives), iong hours of work (about two-thirds of what our grandlathers considered reasonable), difficulty of getlng work (when owners of farms are clamoring for help), high rents and board (when rant and hoard are offered in the coun try as a bonus beyond wages), but they are nowhere near the point of suffering at which they will be willing to leave the Incidental pleasures of city life.
