Such warning symptoms as sense of u(Tocation, hot flashes, headaches, back aches, dread of impending evil, timidity, aounds in tho ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregu larities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and dizziness should be needed by middle-aged women. Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound has carried many women safely through the crisis. The-Army of Constipation It Growing Smaller Every Day.

Is com plaining of tho high cost of living It might be well to see If we cannot elim inate two great sources of waste flres and rats. Most fires are needless. All rats are so. Some years ago a study of tho rot problem In Philadelphia arrived at tho conclusion that tho rodents of that city ate more than a million dollars' worth of food each year. At that rate, tuo disgusting creatures can hardly cost less than $100,000,000 per year t$ the whole country. This is a pret ty high price to pay for tne compan lo'nshlp of Impish pests which, besides tlielr other bad habits, undermine floors and carry tho most dreaded of all diseases, bubonic plague. Yet flres aro more expensive than rats. In 1015 tho last year for which figures are at hand the American people paid out in premiums for Are Insurance $410,301,840. Of this vast sum at least three-fourths could be atfVed by reducing our Are record to tho rate prevailing In England, Franco or Germany J -and even In our time and nation $300,000,000 per year Is a sav ing worth noting, and one which would huve a perceptible effect on tho cost of living. Cuban revolution property losses wlU exceed $25,000,000. United States 1010 exports to China were valued at $31,515,000.

Chicago Jih PROFITS FROM FALL CALVES Farmers Find It Most Profitable to Have Cows Freshen In Autumn Needs Less Feeding. Because more milk would bo pro duced In the year and calves would bo raised cheaper, farmers And It most profitable to havo their cows freshen In tho fall months. Tho cow gives a lnrgo How of milk nt tho beginning of tho period of lac tation. In the spring tho milk yield, which grndually falls off, Is suddenly Micronscd when tho cow Is turned on fresh pasture. Calves born In the fall need mnlnly milk and cat little grain during tho period of winter feeding. When spring comes they nro rendy to be turned on pasture. Spring calves consume milk nnd grain during the cheap pasturo season nnd require the same high- prlccd feeds during tho following wltv tor, when they nro older and thus ent more. Tho fall-bom calf at the samo ngo needs only pasture. At tho Ohio experiment station somo cnlves born in the fall were raised for about $5 loss thnn others born In tho spring. Under nverngo farm condi tions this dlfferenco would bo oven greater, as no grain would bo fed to fnll-born cnlves on pnsture, whllo those nt tho station were given grain becauso of pnsture shortage.
