WAS “TOO POOR TO BE HURT”
Injured Street Sweeper Fatally Hurt,
Struggles to Return to His Work,
but Death Claims Him.
Frederick Birkmer, a street sweeper
of New Rochelle, N. Y., “to poor to
be laid up by an accident, “he said,
was knocked unconscious when struck
in the back in the Pelham road by a
motorcycle ridden by Frank Purdy of
Port Chester. Birkmer, still uncon
scious, was being lifted into an ambu
lance, wnen he regained his senses,
struggled to his feet and staggered
toward his broom.
/ “Can’t afford to be hurt,” he mut
I tered.
Purdy and a hospital surgeon forced
him into the ambulance. At the hos
pital his skull was found fractured. He
was prepared for the operating table.
A moment later he sprang from bed,
tore off the bandages, and, struggling
with an interne, strove to reach a
doorway.
“I must go back,” he faltered.
Then he fell unconscious and died.
Tending That Way.
“Do you believe these South Ameri
can revolutions are contagious?”
“As a rule, revolutions are things
which have a tendenov toward going
around.”
A father likes it, but a mother al
ways resents it when her son is called
■“Bill” icstead of “William.”

Cocoa was unknown until Mexico

A Rescuer.
‘‘Did you know Jiggers was a life
saver at Atlantic City?”
"Nonsense! He can't swim a stroke.”
"He doesn’t nued to. He runs a
pawnshop and stakes people to money
to pay their fares home.”
An Insect Tragedy.
First Mosquito—What’s become of
our old friend?
Second Mosquito—His was a horri
ble fate. Those human beings poured
kerosene all over the place.
F. M.—But he liked kerosene.
S. M.—That was the trouble. He
gorged himself with it, and then col
lided with a firefly.
Gloomy Observation.
"Do you think the world is getting
better?”
"I don’t know anything about it,”
replied the melancholy observer. "It
seemed to be doing very well for a
time, but, judging from the European
news, I should say it is suffering a
terrible relapse.”
No War This Time.
Critical Husband—This beef isn't fit
to eat.
Wife—Well, I told the butcher that
if it wasn’t good I would send you
around to his shop to give him a
thrashing; and I hope you’ll take
someone with you, for he looked pret
ty fierce, and I didn’t like the way he
handled his big knife.
Husband—Humph! Oh, well, I must
say I’ve seen worse meat than this.
Reason for His Belief.
"I never saw such a superstitious
fellow as Bixby.”
“What's his latest?”
“Why, he’s been trying all the
morning to prove that 1915 is an un
lucky year. He’s manipulated the
figures 1-9-1-5 with addition, subtrac
tion, multiplication, division and the
rule of three.”
“What has he found that seems un
lucky?”
“Nothing, except that when he add
ed 1-9-1-5 together and subtracted the
total, 16, from 1915, it left 1899.”
“Yes?”
“And that was the year he mar
ried.”
His Views.
Breaking away from the house, the
man hurried to his club, dropped into
a chair, and breathed a long sigh of
relief. He had at last got away
from one aunt, three cousins and two
second cousins, up-country guests of
his wife. •
A member sitting near laid aside
his paper and asked. “How do you
stand on the subject of foreign re
lations?”
“That is a fair question,” returned
the other, "and deserves a fair an
swer. In principle and practice you
can put me down as favoring their
internment in Schoharie county seven
days a week for 52 weeks each year
until 1963.”

Mrs. Baker So Weak—Could
Not Do Her Work—Found
Relief In Novel Way.
Adrian, Mich. — “I suffered terribly \
With female weakness and backache and ;
got so weak that I
could hardly do my
work. When I
washed my dishes I
had to sit down and
when I would sweep
the floor I would get
so weak that I would
have to get a drink
every few minutes,
and before I did my
dusting I would have
to lie down. I got
so poorly that my folks thought I was
going into consumption. One day I
found a piece of paper blowing around
the yard and I picked it up and read it.
It said ‘ Saved from the Grave, ’ and
told what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta
ble Compound has done for women. I
showed it to my husband and he said,
'Why don’t you try it? ’ So I did, and
after I had taken two bottles I felt
better and I said to my husband, ‘I don’t
need any more,’ and he said ‘You had
better take it a little longer anyway.’
So I took it for three months and got
well and strong.” — Mrs. Alonzo E.
Baker, 9 Tecumseh St., Adrian, Mich.
Not Well Enough to Work.
In these words is hidden the tragedy
of many a woman, housekeeper or wage
earner who supports herself and is often
helping to support a family, on meagre
wages. Whether in house, office, fac
tory, shop, store or kitchen, woman
should remember that there is one tried
and true remedy for the ills to which all
women are prone, and that is Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It
promotes that vigor which makes work
easy. The Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine

“Yes, mum.”
“And how long have you known the

Don’t you think you ought to wait
until you know him better?”
“No, mum. I’ve tried that several
times, and every time the man changed
his mind when he got to know me
better.”

Referendum on a Gerrymander.
From the Chicago Herald.
The republican legislature has recently
redlstrlcted Ohio In a curious manner
Congressional districts have been twisted
and turned to suit party needs. The in
tentlon was to make 16 districts republican
and six democratic.
The gerrymander has always seemed es
pecially wicked. It was invented as a
blow at popular government. Under the
referendum law, however, the voters of
Ohio, and not the bosses, have the last
say. The democratic party of the state
has announced that It will ask for a ref
erendum. Now the people will be given a
chance to pronounce their verdict. The
decision will be significant
But a woman always stops talking
long enough to give a man a chance
to propose. j
If all women were mind readers ev'
ery man on earth would take to the

You can tell more about a woman by

The Effects of Opiates.
THAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium and its various
preparations, all of which are narcotic, is well Known. Even in the
smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the func
tions and growth of the cells which are likely to become permanent, causing
imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later life.
Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying
powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet
in their infancy. Tho rule among physicians is that children should never
receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and
only then if unavoidable.
The administration of Anodynes, Drops, Cordials, Soothing Syrups and
other narcotics to children by any but a physician cannot be too strongly
decried, and the druggist should not be a party to it. Children who are ill
need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing leas than a crime to'
dose them willfully with narcotics.

signature of Chas. H. Fletcher.

GIG INCREASE OF
FARMPROOUCTS
Province of Alberta Shows In
crease of Over 20 Millions.
Figures just compiled by the public
ity branch of the provincial depart
ment show that last year, notwith-'
standing that quite a third of the prov
ince was affected by the drought to
a very serious extent, the total value
of agricultural products actually pro
duced in the province showed an in
crease of over twenty million dollar*1
oVer that of the previous year. Al
though southern Alberta had a bad
year agriculturally, the province as &J
whole experienced a period of great
prosperity, due principally to mixed
farming, which is becoming more gen
eral with each succeeding year.
The value of mixed farming, in fact,
was never better Illustrated than last
year as the value of the animals!
slaughtered and sold alone equaled
the value of the spring wheat crop,!
without taking into consideration the
value of the butter, milk, cheese, poul
try, vegetables, and other by-product*
of the farm.
Oats was the banner grain crop.,
1,147,382 acres being seeded, and pro
ducing 34,397,117 bushels, or 30.15 to
the acre. Sold at an average of 50c
per bushel, these yielded a revenue of>
$17,198,558. Comparatively little win
ter wheat was produced, the yield be-:
ing a little short of one million bush
els, but the spring wheat crop
•amounted to 15,102,083 bushels, the
yield per acre being 15.26. At an aver
age of $1.35 per bushel, the value of
the spring wheat crop was therefore
$20,387,812. The total production of
barley was 7,847,640 bushels, which, at
65c per bushel, yielded n revenue of
$4,316,202.
Other productions were as follows:
Flax, 207,116 bushels, $310,672.00; rye.
261,843 bushels, $196,392.00; speltz, 42,
707 bushels, $32,030.00; hay, 200,000
tons, $2,500,000; potatoes, four mllliom
bushels, $3,000,000; turnips three mil
lion bushels, $750,000; carrots, 360,000
bushels, $180,000; mangolds, 640,000
bushels, $320,000; animals slaughtered
and sold, $20,000,000; butter and
cheese, $1,500,000; milk, $3,000,000;
wool clip, 1,300,000 pounds, $100,000;
fish, $195,000; game and furs, $600,
000; horticultural products, $150,000;
poultry and products, $2,650,000.
The total of the agricultural prod
ucts is given as $78,516,891, as com
pared with $58,098,084 in 1913.
The statistics also show that the
value of the live stock in the province
at the end of the year was $110,044,
630, this being an increase of $7,762,
845 over the previous year. There
were 609,125 horses, 750,789 swine,
501,188 sheep, 192,905 dairy cows, 165,
035 other cows, 190,923 beef cattle and
533,020 other cattle.—Advertisement.
