Backache, Headaches

Piqua, Ohio. —“I would be very un
grateful if I failed to give Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegeta
ble Compound the
p r a i s e it deserves,
for I have taken it
at different times
and it always re
lieved me when
other medicines
failed, and when I
hear a woman com
plain I always rec
ommend it. Lastwin
ter I was attacked
with a severe case of organic weakness.
1 had backache, pains in my hips and
over my kidneys, headache, dizziness,
lassitude, had no energy, limbs ached
and I was always tired. I was hardly
able to do my housework. I had taken
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- •
pound on one other occasion, and it had
helped me so I took it again and it has
built me up, until now I feel like a new
woman. You have my hearty consent
to use my name and testimonial in any
way and I hope it will benefit suffering
women.’'—Mrs. Orpha Turner, 431 S.

Women who are suffering from those
distressing ills peculiar to their sex

Abraham Lincoln Cartef appeared'
before the bar of justice in Staunton,
Va., charged with stealing $7.50. Evi
dence was strong against him, but the
young lawyer appointed by the judge
to defend the prisoner put up a strong
idea and Abraham was acquitted.
A little later counsel and client met |
outside the court house. “I worked
hard for you this morning, Abraham,”
said the lawyer, "and the court pays
me very little. There is a big wood
pile out behind my house and you had
better work on it two or three days
and pay your part.”
“Yes, suh,” replied Abraham, "but
couldn't I pay you in money 'stead o’
work?”
“Money? Where will you get any
money, you rascal?”
"Well, boss, I reckon I still got dat
$7.50.”

SCALP ITCHED AND BURNED
Greenwood, Ind.—“First my hair be
gan to fall, then my scalp itched and
burned when I became warm. I had
pimples on my scalp; my hair was
falling out gradually until 1 had
scarcely any hair on my head. I
couldn’t keep the dandruff off at all.
My hair -was dry and lifeless and I
lost rest at night from the terrible
itching sensation. I would pull my
hat off and scratch my head any place
1 happened to be.
“For several years I was bothered
with pimples on my face. Some of
them were hard red spots, some were
full of matter, and many blackheads.
I was always picking at them and
caused them to be sore. They made
my face look so badly I was ashamed
to be seen.
l tried massage creams for my face
and all kinds of hair tonic and home
made remedies, but they only made
things worse. Nothing did the work
until I used Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment. I washed my face with the
Cuticura Soap, then put plenty of
Cuticura Ointment on. Three months'
use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment
has made my face as smooth and
clean as can be.” (Signed) C. M.

The other day a new story wos told
in connection with one of Mr. Joseph
Chamberlain’s political campaigns.
During one of his speeches a man tn
the audience kept on shouting:
'Are you going to tax my food? Are
you going to tax my food?”
After a bit the audience lost pa
tience with the man, and loud sugges

turned out. Mr. Chamberlain calmed
the storm, however, and proceeded
with his speech, but a few minuteu
later the man’s voice was heard again:
“Are you going to tax my food? Are

“Oh, stop your braying!" roared
somebody; “tbistles’l never be taxed!”

Paris Rings With Martial
Songs on Eve of Big
Political Event.
Paris. Special: Tomorrow Is the
date of the general election, when the
parliament, which some call the most t
discredited since the Panama canal
scandal, will appeal to the people for a
return to power.
The platform of the government’s
supporters Is a patched-up structure
of all the planks that are likely to win
votes, including a graduated tax on
incomes secular education, which is a
popular cry In France, and repeal of
the onerous three years’ conscript ser
vice law.
Although Premier Doumergue ex
presses confidence of the outcome, the
populace on the eve of the elections Is
singing songs of Ironic enthusiasm to
the old tunes that have accompanied
social convulsions in France or pre
ceded them.
Songs are not usually the end hut
the beginning of events in tills coun
try. Historians even consult the songs
of a period to explain radical changes.
There is a strong feeling that perhaps
a new chapter in history is being in
troduced in the songs one hears in tho
music halls and cabarets of Mont
martre. All of them have originated
since the Calmette affair, and they are
becoming more virulent nightly.
One, entitled, “Woman and Lady," is
based on Mme. Caillaux's remark when
arrested, "I am a lady.” It is sung to
the old air, "Petit Frontage," In a well
known cabaret, and the police have
several times ordered It stopped.
The killing of Gaston Calmette, edi
tor of the Figaro, by Madame Cail
laux, wife of the ex-minister of finance,
and the great Roehette scandal which
the Figaro tragedy served to bring to
a furious climax will, no doubt, have
considerable Influence upon tbe voters,
but probably not so much effect as
may be thought by observers abroad.
The point which stands out in connec
tion with the elections is that for the
first time under the present regime two
powerful fipd well defined institu
tional parties are oppose^ to .each
other. One of those parties is made up
of the radical and socialistic-radical
groups: the other is the federation of
democrats of the left, formed a few
months ago only by Aristide Briand.
Start a Saving Account.
Manv women aVe kept from making an
effort‘to save by the fact that their hus
bands with lavish hands fling away more
money than they are able to save by their
small economies, but this should be the
very reason why they should try all the
harder. If the husband and father Is
careless it will take double diligence on
the part of the wife and mother, not only
to save money, but to train the children
in habits of thrift. It is hard to walk
three or four extra blocks to save five
cents on vegetables, and then see the man
of the house buy an expensive cigar or
refuse to wear a garment that is patched,
but if the five cents are safe in the bank
it is better than flinging that amount
away to show that if one won't save
neither will the other.
It usually happens that when the mis
tress of the house has saved $100 she can
no longer keep the secret, so she unfolds
her wonderful plan to the man of the
house. Then the savings account goes
forward by leaps and bounds, for the hus
band gladly does his part in making con
tributions to the fund, says the Mother’s
Magazine.
He finds himself able to put by th«
mice of a cigar or two without muck
trouble, to assist in the home tasks thal
mean so much when a man must be hired
for every trifling bit of repair work, to
practice various small economics in the
way of clothing, and above all to cheer
and support his wife wiio has the great
est burdens on her shoulders.
Most people will admit that it is easier
to make money than to save it, and the
woman who carefully orders her house
hold so that the health of the family is
conserved, their garments suited tg tbejj
needs, and their food wholesome and nour
ishing without being expensive, deserves
more credit than she gets in the ordinary
home. Of course it is a great joy to her
to know her account is growing every day.
but if in addition she has the support and
sympathy and help of a manly man, shi
Is all the better fitted for her duties.
A CITY’S BUSY BUZZARDS.
Nasty Scavengers From the Sky Ar«
Charged With Spreading Disease.
The theory of how the buzzard
spreads hog cholera has been exploited
In the papers and has put the farmers
to thinking. It Is calculated to reverse
their hitherto good opinion of the buz
zard and his function. And yet the
buzzard Is the emblem of a proud
southern city.
Who has not heard of the Charles
ton market place buzzards? The mar
ket house Is the place the visitor to the
ancient and honorable city puts out to
first, after locating, and the sight re
mains like a bad taste in the mouth.
The Observer's recollection of it were
revived the other night in a moving
Picture show in Charlotte. On the
screen It was announced "Vultures ai
a market house in a southern city."
We knew what was coming. There had
been no need to name the city. There
it was—the throwing of offal from a
doorway into the street and the flocks
of the ugly beasts of the air flying
down from the roof to the feast on
the cobblestones.
Tradition dies hard in Charleston.
These sacred birds are tolerated and
protected there because their services
as scavengers cost the city nothing. But
is it not a defiance of the laws of
health? After the buzzards have gorged
on the offal, there follow the flies. Af
ter the flies the sun to dry the matter
into dust, and then the wind to blow
these germ-laden atoms into the nos
trils of aristocratic Charleston. It must
be said that Charleston does not wholly
depend upon the buzzards for its scav
enger work, but that it permits the sur
vival in any degree of a custom so re
pulsive and so insanitary Is abiding
cause for wonder.
The Precious Maple.
The Inroads that are being made
upon the hard maple trees of the coun
try must needs alarm every boy who
has a taste for genuine maple syrup
with Ills buckwheat cakes. Nor is the
crystallized liquid distributed In the
form of sugar cakes to be lightly sur
sendered by boyhood. A buletin of
the United States department of ag
riculture points out that maple is one
of the most widely used of native hard
woods and so brings warning that the
syrup supply is in danger. Maple Is u
favorite flooring, being especially In de
mand for roller skating rinks and bowl
ing alleys. How many Joy-producing
trees do you suppose must be slaught
ered to floor a skating rink? Jt is re
ported that the shoe manufacturers of
Massachusetts use 13,000,000 board feet
of sugar maple even.- year in the man
ufacture of shoe lasts. You see much
bird's-eye maple furniture—sugar trees
were cut to make it! The strength and
hardness of this wood cause it to be
used for a wide variety of purposes.
Altogether 1.150,000,000 feet of sugar
maple are cut In the United States
every year. So make the most of your
opportunities to consume real maple
syrup, for tire time is coming when the
only "maple" syrup obtainable will be
the kind concocted from brown sugar
flavored with the Juice of the corn cob.
; CHECKING CIGARETS^ j
From the Houston Chronicle.
Seeking the now famous "cigaret
cure,” a young man reported to Dr.
Slataper. A Chronicle reporter was
present to witness the operation of re
lieving a young man of his clgarets.
The reporter heard the questioning of
the boy along these lines:
"So you want the silver nitrate cure
for the cigaret habit?” asked the doc
tor.
I Kmbarrassed nod in the affirmative
by the young man, who seemed very
much In earnest, now that he had mus
tered couruge to come Into the office
and get the “cure.”
"And are you sure that you are not
Just 'experimenting' with yourself?”
asked the doctor, “meaning, simply,
‘are you sincere’ in taking this treat
ment? We are not encouraging this
cure for boys who simply want to know
how it feels to be doped with nitrate
of silver.”
“All I want Is some help to shake
off the cigaret habit,” answered the
young fellow, whereupon the doctor
spoke, saying, "Stand up, young man.”
And the young man stood up. looking a
bit frightened.
But the treatment was not at all se
vere. Taking the little bottle of solu
tion in one hand, and dipping the cam
el hair brush into it. the doctor re
quested that the patient open his
mouth.
Then he delicately painted the edge
of the youngster's tongue with the sil
ver stuff. "I paint it along the edge,
so,” said the doctor, "for the simple
reason that it is the edge of the
tongue that holds the nerves of
taste.”
The reporter thought the sense of
taste was to be found along any part
of the tongue. But It seems that this
idea Is wrong, speaking geographically
of anatomy, as It were.
In about two minutes, by the “wrist
watch,” the operation was completed
and the patient had left the office.
"Funny thing about these boys," said
the doctor, after the door had closed.
“Almost all these young fellows want
to quit smoking, yet they can’t resist
the temptation to try a "coffin nail" as
soon after the treatment as possible.
Now, I'll bet something worth while
that this patient you Just saw is hitting
It up for a quiet spot to smoke a cig
aret.”
Ahtl the doctor laughed. Why he |
laughed the reporter learned about half
an hour later.
In the high school hall was the same
young man making his rather shaky
way toward a class room. The young
man looked a bit w'hlto as to complex
ion. and. as to gait, well, he was a bit
"tottery.” One who had seen him a few
moments before would have noticed
these changes at any rate.
"What’s the matter?” was the greet
ing the reporter gave him.
Admits Trying to Smoke.
"Aw, gee, my mouth tastes like I had
been trying to eat a brass watch case.
I went out and tried to smoke, and did
smoke. When I drew the smoke into
my face, it tasted fine, but when 1 blew
it out! Gee!"
And here the young man almost lost
the remainder of his lunch at the mere
memory of the trying episode.
Wherein lies the explanation of the
"silver nitrate cure.”
As long as the patient does not smoke
he feels no bad effect from the nitrate
of silver soaked along the edge of his
tongue, but as soon as the nicotine
starts mixing with the silver solution,
it produces a sickening sensation that
runs clear through one.
And the odd part of it is that all of
the youngsters are not affected in the
same manner. Some of them, after
trying several smokes, come back to
the doctor for another "painting."
Saturday, at the juvenile court, an
other class will be treated, and in the
meantime, boys are coming from all
parts of Houston to see Dr. Slataper
and have a taste of the little brown
bottle.
“Know the details of the feeling pret
ty good, eh?" remarked the editor when
the reporter handed in the above story.
“That's the way to do. Picture things.
Get feeling into ’em. And, now, as a
reward for your good work, I will hand
you this nice cigar.”
The reporter turned a wry face. "No,
thanks.” said the young man. "my
mouth’s sore.”

COAXING THE SEA TO
BUILDJUP THE SHORES
From the Engineering Record.
Programs for conservation, In this
country at least, have dealt principally
with water for power purposes, and
with timber and coal lands, bo that in
proposing the creation of a federal de
partment of foreshore protection Elmer
L. Corthell calls attention to a sub
ject the seriousness of which is not
generally appreciated even by engi
neers. The waves are making a con
stant assault on our coasts and if this
country would profit by the experiences
of Holland, England, Belgium and
other European countries it will need
to adopt more vigorous measures than
are displayed by the isolated and un
scientific methods which now prevail.
In his article reviewing his 44 years’
experience in sea-defense works, Mr.
Corthell makes the definite statement
that any sandy coast can be perma
nently protected at reasonable cost,
but it Is useless to expect that ver
tical pile bulkheads with an unpro
tected shore in front of them will be
effective in resisting the smashing
blows of heavy storms. The conti
nental method of shore protection is by
gentle slopes, covered with clay, straw
and stone blocks. If properly built,
spur jetties, extending out beyond the
main slopes, may be used to make the
sea deposit its burden of sand, thereby
building up the coast line instead of
washing it away.
The principle on which the engineers
of the last half century have based
their plans and methods are simple
and effective. The great destructive
forces of nature have been skillfully
turned into constructive forces. They
did not place an artificial wall or
“bulkhead,’’ against the encroachments
of the sea. but coaxed It to deposit Its
sands on the shore and so build it up,
rather than throw them inland, and
then, hungry for more, eat into the
shore.
Shall W© Breed or Import?
Prof. Kdward A. Ross In the Century.
Very truly says Professor Wilcox. In
praise of immigration: “The cost of rear
ing children In the United States Is rap
idly rising. In many, perhaps In most
cases, It is simpler, speedier and cheaper
to Import labor than to breed It.” In like
vein It Is said that “a healthy immigrant
lad of 18 Is a clear SI.000 added to the
national wealth of the United States.”
Just so. "The Roman world was laugh
ing when It died.” Any couple or any peo
plei that does not feel It has anything to
transmit to Its children may well reason
In such fashion. A couple may reflect, “It
Is simpler, speedier and cheaper for us to
adopt orphans than to produce children
of our own.” A nation may reason, “Why
burden ourselves with the rearing of chil
dren? Ret them perish unborn in the
womb of time. The Immigrants will keep
up the population.” A people that has
no more respect for Its ancestors and no
more pride of race than this deserves the
extinction Uiat surely awaits It.
