THIS WOMAN HAD MUCH PAIN WHEN STANDING Tells How Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound made Her a Well Woman. Chippewa Falls, Wis.—"I have al ways had great confidence in Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta ble Compound as I found itlvery good for organic troubles and recommend it highly. I had dis placement, back ache and pains when standing on my feet for any length of timq,when I began to take the medicine, but I am In fine health now.

I give you permission to publish my name and I speak of your Vegetable Compound to many of my friends, ” — Mrs. Abril Lawson, 126 Lippitt St, Providence. R.I. FAITHFUL'DOG IS PUNISHED Lashed for Barking While Burglars Were Robbing His Master's Cafe in New York. Aaron Silverman’s brindle bulldog Spot Is the only living creature around Silverman cate at 141 West Twenty seventh street that is in any condi tion to smile, but Spot is physically too sore to smile. Some time after midnight the bark ing of Spot awakened the Silverman family in their rooms above the sa loon. Silverman thereupon arose, got a trunk strap and walloped poor old Spot into silence and went back to bed. When Silverman went behind the bar about 6:30 he found that burglars who doubtless had started Spot’s un precedented barking had ripped open the cash register and taken $30 and a ring from it, and then had attacked the safe and got away with one dia mond ring worth $125, two more worth $100 each, a $76~dollar watch, a la valliere worth $75, a $45 locket and chain , and fojjr Russian gold pieces worth about $10.—New York Sun. I To Identify the Corpse. In the blanks which life insurance companies provide-their medical exam iners for use in recording the data of the examination of the applicant for insurance, they provide a space for personal marks which may be used to identify the insured after death. A western company recently received a report from an examining physician with the following in the identification blank: “He has a strong Cornish ac cent.”—Lipplncott’s. P Athletic. "Miss Corker does a great deal of fancy work.” “With her needle, you mean?” “Shucks-, no! On the horizontal bars.” Please the Home Folks By serving Post Toasties They are among the j good things to eat, but not in the cook book, because they require no cooking.

CHINA IS SEEKING AN ALLIANCE WITH NIPPONESE KINGDOM Oriental Diplomats Regard Such Affiliation as Greatly to Be Desired. OLD SUSPICIONS VANISH Uniting of Strength of Mongolian Na tions Would Prevent Disintegra tion of New Celestial Republic. JiT Tokio, Special—Diplomatists here are talking very freely about a prob able alliance between China and Japan. There is no doubt whatever that the relations between these two countries have considerably Improved since the recent visit here of Dr. Sun Tat Sen. Shortly after Dr. Sun Tat Sen reached Tokio Dr. Arlga, one of the leading Japanese authorities on inter national law, was engaged as legal adviser to the new republic. This in Itself is a matter of some moment if prophecy is to be trusted. It Is taken In Japan to mean that as China is now most anxious to arrange her Interna tional affairs In such a manner as to preclude foreign Interference, she Is engaging one who knows the secrets by which Japan has been able to keep herself out of foreign bondage. In any effort of China to place her self In a relation to foreign powers similar to that occupied by, Japan, the services of such a man as Dr. Arlga must prove Invaluable. It Is generally understood In Japan that the attitude of Russia In Mongolia Is causing se rious concern. In this respect there is said to be no hope for China save by Joining forces with Japan. Over and over again the cry has been raised In Japan that China must not be suffered to disintegrate, and that Japan and China must stand or fall together. Tet China has for the most part mistrusted Japan and held aloof. Of late, however, things have taken quite a different turn. Complications over the six-power loan have opened the eyes of China. The attitude of finan ciers, backed up by their governments, has driven China to seek assurance from her kindred In color, race and civilization. It Is believed In Japan that China Is ready for rapproche ment, If It has not already been ac complished. The hope In this direction Is strengthened to some extent by the change of policy toward China an nounced by the new United States ad ministration. While some of the Jap anese regard it as an unselfish assur ance on the part of America, others discern in It an aim to keep off foreign entanglements In order to have a more definite say in regard to the future of China. Their feeling Is that In order to live China will be forced into an alliance with either the United States or Japan. GOLD STOCKINGS NOW MILADY’S LATEST FAD Paris, Special—Fashionable women In Paris think nothing now of buying stockings at $300 a pair. Some of these stockings are encrusted with the finest lace, others are woven of gold and silver. Handkerchiefs so finely woven by hand that they are almost transpart ent, and adorned simply with a striped border, may be had for the very rea sonable price of $40 a dozen. The latest novelty is a tiny bull dog carved out of rock crystal or ame thyst and meant to decorate an um brella handle or to be placed as an ornament on the blotter on the writ ing table. It is sold In a green ken nel under the roof of which is an enam eled plaque bearing such names as Flirt, Fanny or Toby. Fashionable women have also taken to drinking tea extensively, not so mudh because they are fond of it, but because visits to the tea rooms, Which are now springing up every where, give them an opportunity to dis play their afternoon elaborate frocks. So great is the rush tables have to be ordered in advance. BLACK HAND THREAT MAKES PRINCESS FIGHT Rome, Special—Princess Hercolani has Just had a most exciting experience In her palace at Bologna. Suddenly there appeared to her an ex-sergeant of cavalry named Calleranl, who said he was a police officer and presented a written demand for $200 purporting to be signed by a black hand society. The man demanded that she should .also hand over her valuable Jewelry. As the princess absolutely refused \m -accede to the impudent request, Callei* ani fired at her twice with a revolver. Luckily the aim was bad and the prin cess escaped Injury. The princess struck him a powerful blow on the chest, and managed to ring an electric bell for help. Finding that the game was up, the man rushed into an adjoining room, but this af forded him no means of escape, and the princess kept him at bay until the arrival of the police. Calleranl expended all his remaining cartridges in a fruitless attempt to Bmash the lock of a door which offered a means of escape. When arrested, Calleranl said that he was out of work and starving. Pay Day at the Mine. Say, Jimmie, git the whisky out An' order up the gin, We want the boys to go the route When they come rollin’ in, It’s booze that starts ’em in to spend An’ gits ’em feelin’ fine, Till each guy’s treatin’ of his friend —It’s pay day at the mine. They stops fep Just one little drink To wash their throats of coal, We’ll keep ’em blowin’ in their chink Until we git their roll, An’ if it gits ’em wild an’ rough Or lyin’ round like swine, Aw, we don’t care, we got the stuff —It’s pay day at the mine. If, full of booze, they row an’ fight An’ bruise an’ smash an’ maim. Aw well, we got our cash all right An’ they—they gits the blame. It’s they that has to go to jail Or pay the court their tine, An’ we’re the boys that gits the kale —It’s pay day at the mine. They risks their lives an’ sweats to make Their little wad of pay, But we’re the wise ones—an’ we take The most of it away; So let their women weep an’ cry An’ we’re the boys that gits the kale We’re coinin' dough an* livin' high —U’s pay day at the mine! —By iierton Braley. J EDUCATION NOTES. +-» ♦ ♦ 4 ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦ The Chicago board of education has established two “naturalization schools’’ open four nights a week, to furnish instruction to applicants for citizen ship. This year’s session of the Maine legislature enacted a law prohibiting secret societies in the public schools. Another act removes January 1 from the list of holidays. Y. W. C. A. representatives in and about Augusta, Ga, are working for a public library in that city. A city of over 41,000, Augusta is not yet pro vided with a free public library. — Technical schools giving courses in architecture will have a special exhibit at the International Building exhibition in Leipzig this summer, according to information received at the United States bureau of education. Magdeburg, Germany, is to have a school for the special training of wom en and girls as shopclerks. The city of Berlin has already provided such training by means of a speciaj course for salesgirls in the new continuation school. Correspondence courses in health will be one of the features of the health in struction bureau to be established at the University of Wisconsin, which aims to reach the people of the whole state w'ith available information on preventable disease, infant mortality, rural hygiene, and other subjects. A special course in picture framing is given in the Amelia high school, Amelia, Va., and during the past year or two more than 1,000 neatly framed pictures have gone from the school manual training shop into the pupils homes. The use of moving pictures in the schools is spreading rapidly in Europe. Recently a professor in a Brussels school excited great interest by pre senting a series of pictures illustrating the progress of aviation from the earl iest days to the present. In Prussia the minister of public instruction haa approved the use of the cinemato graph in all the higher schools of the country, and the official programs give lists of films for geography, history and science. The expense of this material is met by appropriations froiji the gov ernment and municipalities and by pri vate subscriptions. __ Lost By a Root. From the Kansas City Journal. In Kansas City there dwells a man whose boast Is that he has "the nerve, and at least one dental surgeon will sup port him in his claim. The man with “the nerve" suffered from the pangs of an aching molar and at last sought out his friend the dentist and announced that the tooth must come out. The man with the forceps made a hasty examination and suggested that a filling would relieve the agony, but to no avail. “That tooth must be pulled,” said the "nerve man,” "but I want to warn you right now, Doc; that you won’t get It the first yank. I have had seven teeth drawn and no dentist lives who can pull one of my teeth the first trial.” The dentist prides himself with the nu merous compliments paid him for dexter ity in extraction and "the nerve” man s words were a challenge. "I’ll get that tooth the very first time I pull it.” , "Bet you the drinks you don t, was the patient’s retort. "Done,” said the doctor. The professional man motioned his pat ron to the operating chair and selected the proper forceps. The cold steel clamped firmly on the tooth, and with a slightly rocking motion the dentist began to pull The tooth held firm and it looked as if the dentists’s reputation as an extractor must suffer. At last, Just as little beads of sweat were forming on the operator s brow, he smiled and In another second the three-pronged cause of the trouble lay on the swinging bracket by the dental chair. No word or sign had been given by the sufferer, who then raised from the chair, grasped the removed tooth in his fingers and gazed at Its three roots in contempla There was a tone of real sadness In his voice as he regretfully said: "If that thing had only had another root, I’d have won the drinks.” Another Marvel In Engineering. From the Providence Journal. New York is the great field for the engineers who work underground. The subway systems represent hundreds of millions of dollars and the achieve ments of their builders have eclipsed in popular Interest such engineering mon uments as the bridges over the East river. Now the turn of the bridge engi neers Is coming and the proposed struc ture over the Hudson river is attract ing the attention of a people which re cently has witnessed the successful carrying out of transportation plans be Ueved to be Impracticable a few years ago. * The New York and New Jersey bridge is indeed a stupendous under taking. It extends from 58th street in New York to Weehawken, N. J., a distance of more than a mile and a half. There are two driveways, two tracks for subway trains, two tracks for surface street cars, and all are on one level. The bridge is 170 feet above the river, 35 feet higher than the East river bridges, and the towers support ing the main spar rise 645 feet, or ap proximately to the roof of a 50-story skyscraper. The total cost is estimated at $42,000,000 and th^expectation that the traffic bores through the bed of the Hudson would kill any great bridge project apparently was premature. The spectacular plan for a bridge across the North river affords most convincing proof that New York is the financial center of the country. In what other American city would such expendi tures in the air, on the surface and un derground be warranted? From Puddler to Pulpiteer. From the Christian Herald. A little immigrant boy of 8 years came through Castle Garden from Whiton Park, Durham, England, 44 years ago and went with his father to Ironton, Ohio. His father was a worker in the steel mills and his son took a place as a puddler at the fur naces and worked very hard for years. At the age of 23 he could neither read nor write, but his wife was ambitious and aided him, and they pursued their studies together till at the age of 32 he found himself equipped with a technical college and seminary educa tion. ready for the ministry. That Eng lish immigrant lad is the Rev. Dr. Wil liam H. Morgan, who, after 16 years of a successful pastorate at the Cen tral M E. church at Newark, N. J., has just been appointed to the pastorate of the Calvary M. E. church of New York. One Absorber of Gold. From the New York Evening Post. In re-establishing Us currency system Brazil established a note conversion office in 4306. the Caixa de Conversao. From the time of the formation of the Caixa It was forbidden to issue Inconvertible notes, and the only means of obtaining nates is by a deposit of gold In the Caixa. The holding of gold In this office is now S1J3.350.000. ! NO NEED TO “HOLD PHONE” Sound Magnifying Trumpet which Will Tell You When It Is Time to Talk. There Is a sound magnifying trum pet of flat shape, behind which is a small attachment intended to support the telephone receiver. When it be comes necessary to hold the line, when calling up or replying, instead of the person standing with the receiver glued to his ear he places the receiver upon the time saver, bringing the ear piece into position with the sound magnifier. He is then at liberty to re sume his duties until such time as the person required at the opposite end attends his instrument. This is notified by the speech trans mitter being magnified by the time saving device so as to be perfectly audible at a distance. The receiver may then either be withdrawn and held to the ear in the usual way, or left in connection with the magnifier, hearing being quite as simple and easy as under normal conditions. An other advantage of the invention is that the user’s two hands are left free to carry out any other requiste task, such as the turning up of documents, making references, writing down mes sages or instructions from dictation, and so on. England's Oldest Bowling Green. Which is our oldest recreation? -There are not wanting archeollgists who profess to be able to trace refer Bnces to football and baseball on Egyptain moral tablets. However, when it comes to actual records, the fine old English game of bowls would appear to be as old as any, Southampton, Eng., has records showing that one of the local bowling greens was in existence in 1299. Many interesting customs are asso ciated with the game on this historic green. Every summer a "Are jack” competition is held, and an order of knighthood is conferred on the win ner, who kneels in the center of the green while the other players gather round him and the master touches him with a sword and dubs him "sir.” New York’s New Postoffice. New York’s new 36,000,000 post effice building, a massive pile of pink granite five stories in height and two blocks long, facing the rear of the Pennsylvania station, is the greatest building of its kind in the world. From the curb to the topmost piece of granite is 101 feet. There are 165, 000 cubic feet of granite, 18,000 tons of steel, 7,000,000 bricks and 200,000 square feet of glass in the building. The main corridor, corresponding in length to the outside colonnade, is a combination of buff marble, white plaster and glass, two stories high, 29 feet wide and 280 feet long. There are 400,000 square feet of working space within the building.—Popular Mechanics. Regulating Weight. There is only one way to regulate body weight ,and that is by the natural method—by diet, exercise, bathing, etc.—by alimentation and elimination. The nostrums advertised to take off flesh without change of diet are all dangerous. Be sure of that, and avoid them. The same diet that will put flesh on a thin man will take flesh off a fat one. In other words,* a natural diet produces a natural condition of the body. _ Meteorite Falls Near Woman. A meteorite weighing 37 pounds was recently the subject of discussion in chemical circles in Johannesburg, South Africa. The stone fell in Zulu land a few months ago, and was not only noticed by an eye witness some 15 miles away, but fell within a few feet of a native woman, who gave Information which led to its discov ery. The meteorite cannot so far be broken. It is known, however, to con tain platinum. Yearning for Experiment. "Are you in favor of government ownership of everything?” “Yes.” “How do you think such a scheme would work out?” “Nobody can tell. That's what makes It so interesting and attractive.” The Logical Situation. “Here, some fellow says that the suf fragists are women who haven’t got husbands.” “Then I suppose he holds it is the antis who get the uncles.” A Difficulty. “There is one bad thing about be ginning a joy ride.” "What is that?” “You are apt to end on the trouble wagon.” BOILED EGGS BETRAY THEM Nationality of Diners Is Shown in Their Various Method of Eating. Sherlock Holmes might have figured this out, but he did not! The average Englishman will al ways demand his egg boiled just three minutes, then he places it in an egg cup, just large enough to have the egg fit it, taps the lop of the shell, and removes the broken shell with his fingers. The egg is eaten a spoonful at a time. A Frenchman, much like the Eng lishman, likes his eggs of three min utes, exactly. He then "peelB" them, places them in a glass, stirs and mixes well together with salt, pepper and butter. He makes a practice of dipping bread into the mixture, and eating it along with the eggs. A Spaniard wouldn’t think of letting his egg boil more than one minute. He then breaks it, and lets the con tents run into a glass, and consumes it aB if he were drinking a glass of wine. An egg is only fit in an Italian’s estimation when it has been placed in cold water, and removed just as the water beings to boil. He then breaks It, pours it on a plate, and proceeds to sop it up with bread. The German, like the Italian, de mands his eggs as near the liquid state as possible. He breaks his eggs in an unsightly cup, and scoops the liquid out as if it were soup. The American is about the only one who prefers his eggs boiled hard. When they are served up to him, he knifes them in half, removes the con tents into a glass, after which he adds a plentiful supply of pepper, but ter and salt. He then minces the eggs fine, mixing them well with the spices, and eats them with his toast. Broken Heart Caused Death. A broken heart, caused by violent beating due to sudden emotion, was said by a doctor to be responsible for the death of Alexander Burness, six ty-four, a master tailor, at a London inquest. Burness fell and died during an altercation with a foreman cutter as to the ownership of certain articles which he was about to remove from his former premises to new ones. Danger in a Phrase. “Do you think there is such a thing as a yellow peril?” "Certainly,” replied Senator Sorg hum; “‘yellow peril' is such a pictur esque and fascinating phrase that a lot of people will never let their minds rest until they have worked out some condition to fit it.” It Would Seem 80. "What do you consider the most im portant even in the history 6f Paris?” asked the obsequious landlord of the American tourist. “Well,” replied the tourist, who had grown weary of dis tributing tips-, "so far as financial prosperity is concerned, I should say the discovery of America was the making of this town.” A Close Call. A train hit a truckload of dynamite at Dallas, Ore., the other day but did not cause the stuff to explode. When the passenger train collided with the truck, the latter was carried more than 100 feet on the pilot of the engine, and the driver saved his life "by Jumping before the engine struck. Her Birthday Anniversary. “I hear you had a blowout at your house last night,” sai<% Ricks. “Yes; a little birthday party,” re plied Hicks. “It was the eleventh an niversary of my wife’s twenty-fifth birthday.” Closely Occupied. “That man is always kicking.” “What about?” "He doesn’t know. He klckB so much he doesn’t leave himself time to find out what his real grievances are.” In the Park at Night. First Broken-Down Actor—Not a seat to spare. It reminds me of my palmy days. Stalls full! Circle, gal lery, pit—all full Just like that. Second Broken-Down Actor—And all of ’em fast asleep. What? The Question. "What would you suggest as the best drink for lovers?” “Pop.” It's perfectly plain that no woman ever thinks she is. New York uses $70,000 worth of postage stamps every day. Save the Babies. INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children bom in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year ; thirty-seven percent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen 1 We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castona would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. Genuine Castoria always bears tbe signature of Unique Suicide. A safe was used by a man nam ed Jacob Rabinowitz, flfty-four year# old, of Philadelphia, Penn., to com mit suicide, a few days ago. Frst he jacked up an 800 pound safe with a block of wood. Placing his head be neath it he drew a strap as tightly as he could around his neck. Then he knocked the block from under the safe and the heavy weight fell upon his head. He was found by his wife, but died before a physician arrived. He had been despondent for several weeks because he lost a lawsuit. A Relic of History. A newly rich woman, who was anx ious to make a favorable impression in her neighborhood, decided to show her collection of antiques to the bish op when he called. The time came, and one by one she displayed the whole collection, giving him the his tory of each piece. "There,” she said, pointing impressively to an old yellow teapot, “that teapot was used in the Boston tea party.” Case In Point. “You French excel us in politeness.’* “Oh, no, monsieur,” protested tha Parisian gentleman, “I deny it.” “That's just your politeness." Wears Little There. "Miss Slasher is a stunning girl when she is dressed up." “1 can’t say anything about that. I've only seen her on the street.” Ambiguous. “That actor has such finish in hi* work.” “Well, I'd like to see his finish." No Chance for an Argument. ''Waiter, how do I know that isn’t horse meat Instead of beef?” "You probably don’t, sir; all kinds of people come here to eat.” Solicitous. He—I wish I had money. I’d travel. She—How much do you need?— Judge. The Kind. “That gambler's son Is a chip of the old block.” “A poker chip?” Its Species. “That petition ie certainly a bird.” “Of course. Isn't it a round robin ?" The man who depends entirely on the push of those who are back of him will seldom get to the front. No woman is ever really happy un less she feels that some other woman envies her. Tombstone inscriptions are general ly too good to be true.
