A REMARKABLE STATEMENT Mrs. Sheldon Spent $1900 for Treatment Without Bene fit. Finally Made Well by Lydia EL Pinkham’s Veg etable Compound. Englewood, 111. — “While going through the Change of Life 1 suffered with headaches, ner vousness, flashes of heat, and I suffered so much I did not know what I was doing at times. I spent $1900 on doc tors and not one did me anv good. One day a lady called at my house and said she had been as sick as I was atone time, and Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound.made her well,so I took it and now 1 am just as well as I ever was. I cannot understand why women don’t see how much pain and suffering they would escape, by taking your medicine. I cannot praise it enough for it saved my life and kept me from the Insane Hospital.”—Mrs. E. Sheldon, 6657 S. Halsted St., Englewood, 111. Physicians undoubtedly did their best, battled with this case steadily and could do no more, but often the most scientific treatment is surpassed by the medicinal properties of tne good old fashioned roots and herbs contained in Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. If any complication exists it pays to write the Lydia E. Pink ham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass., for special free advice. Kill All Flies!

When Charles Dickens was to make his iirst appearance in America - as a reader an immense crowd awaited him at a public hail in Boston. The en thusiasm of the people had risen to lever heat. Cne of his most ardent admirers afterward told this little in cident of the evening: “With a few gentlemen, who wished to welcome him and to show him at tention, 1 was in the little room bar.. of the platform when Dickens entered it. lie was a rather .stout man, with a somewhat rod face, and 1 saw. to my surprise, that he was dressed ir. an exaggerated servility to the extreme of fashion. More than this, lie wore a boutonniere in each buttonhole, and two watches, the chains of which were strung aggressively across his chest. There was a gaudy bail taste in his appearance which his friends regret ted. knowing how distasteful it would be to his admirers, who appreciated his genius and enjoyed his writings.” Find Tetrabelodon’s Bones.

He wrote the following let ter to the editor of the New York Times.J To the Editor of the New York Times: On May 8, while in Detroit for the pur pose of speaking on preparedness, I spent several hours with Henry Ford. 1 found Mr. Ford eager to talk about national de fense. but unwilling to discuss it. While volleying Ids assertions with great rapid ity, he refused to pause long enough to permit any one of them to be examined and dealt with. To facts which I sub mitted he responded with a brief word of dismissal or with a sweeping denial that they were facts: sometimes with the re mark that he could not consider them be cause he himself did not know them to be facts. Jn dealing with naval and military sub jects his position seemed to be that they were to be tossed aside, because a civilian in presenting them was not to be credited, nor a professional to be trusted. There fore they were not open to discussion. By this simple mental operation Mr. Ford shut out of the conversation all naval and military affairs. Ford Does Not Believe In History. The suggestion that, because of the re sults of this war or the situation in Mexico, we might eventually find our selves in international difficulties from which owing to our weakness, wre might be unable easily to extricate ourselves, Mr. P'ord pooh-poohed, saying I was “full of eastern scare gas.” When in our “discussion” of a nation's need for defensive strength history was appealed to, Mr. P'ord replied that he did not believe in history, that history was of the past and had no bearing upon the present, and that, there being nothing to be learned from it, history need not be studied nor considered. The American revolution he refused to have touched upon, saying that the revolution was “tradition,” that he did not believe in tra dition. Coming to Mr. Ford’s beliefs, w'hich were given in fragments, with always his refusal to support them with evidence or to permit their analytical examination, these seemed to gather about a single thought. Mr. P'ord’s theory of wars—he 4 4 4 GLIMPSE OF PARADISE. ♦ 4 ♦ From the National Geographic Society. Aden is the unhappy gateway into happy Araby. and, moreover, it is one of the foremost strategic points on Eigland's trade route through the Red sea to India and the far east. One Arabian author Bays of the country behind Aden, that country known as Arabia Felix. “Its in habitants are all hale and strong, sickness Is unknown, noA are there poisonous plants or animals; nor fools nor blind peo ple, and the women are ever young; the climate is like paradise and one wears the Bame garments summer and winter.” Ad en. however, where the British and Turk ish forces are opposing one another, en joys none of these advantages catalogued as inherent in Arabia Felix. Spread over its ragged hills of sunmade ash and cinder, sweltering, gloomy and /mrelieved by vegetation. Aden invites little attention in peace times. “Aden is a valley surrounded by the sea: its climate is so bad that it turns wine into vinegar in the space of 10 days." complained one disappointed Arab traveler of the middle figes. And In the centuries since his visit I he climate has not improved. In spite, nevertheless, of the terrible heat that gathers over Aden's valley and clings to its low hills and its lack of a good water supply, the place maintains a reputation as a healthy one. The town Is built on desolate volcanic rocks that constitute a peninsula near the entrance to the Red sea. The Strait of Babel-Mandeb lies 100 miles away, and Aden is the British Gibraltar toward the Indian ocean that keeps an enternal vigi lance over the safety of the rich English commerce that goes this way. The British captured and annexed the place on Janu ary 10. 1839. since which time they have made the place a most emphatic fortress, one of the strongest anywhere in southern Asia. Money and labor without stint have been expended there to make the city ab solutely Impregnable from land and sea. Massive lines of defense, strengthened by a broad moat, guard the neck of the isth mus, and these defenses conceal powerful batteries. Turrets, hidden forts, mined approaches, bastions, towers, batteries, magazines, mole batteries toward the sea. mined harbors, great naval guns, obstruc tion piers, barracks, redoubts in solid rock, all are elements in the British plan to guard this southern end of their im portant trade route beyond all possible chance of failure against superior and sustained attack. Aden may be last in matters of climate, but it is among the first in matters of fortification. The narrow peninsula on which this queen of southern fortresses rears itself is only about 15 miles in circumference. It is the bowl of a’- extinct volcano. The lofty hills around are the remains of the crater sides, and of these, Shem Shem has has an altitude of nearly 1,800 feet. All food and water for use on the peninsula has to be brought in from the outside. Much of the water is supplied from the government condensers, which were de signed to make the fortress independent in case of war's necessities.

Roosevelt that people are lor him, George vcn L.

At the moment there are two 1 bankers, but two, he believes, who are re- I sponsible for modern wars. If these be plucked then wars in our day will cease. Mr. Ford asserts he knows who these bankers are, and that he, personally, Is going to see that the “tooth is pulled.” He would not reveal the names of these bankers, nor explain the method by which he is to pull the tooth. Doesn’t Believe In Patriotism. Mr. Ford asserted that he has found a permanent remedy for warfare, which he refused to reveal, saying that in due time 1 should learn what it is. This he said he would put into effect, but seemed unable to say when. When I sought to follow up these and other assertions equally vague I was invariably met by his refusal to divulge what he had in mind; I was ab jured to wait and see. One clew to his thought may be got from his reply to my likening the external need for a defensive military force to the internal need for an armed police, w'hich was that the police needed neither their clubs nor their revolvers; that the law could be enforced without any Then, in the same breath, he asked If * was a deputy sheriff, saying that he all of his men were deputy sheriffs and that it was my duty also to be one. When the word patriotism was touched upon Mr. Ford burst out with the asser tion that he did not. believe In patriotism, that no man is patriotic, and that the word patriotism is always the last resort of a scoundrel. To my inquiry as to what he would do in the event of war he re plied that even if we were to be invaded he would not make a dollar’s worth .i' arms for the United States. As I wished that there should be no mistake -as to his meaning, I put the question three times and three times got the same answer. Finally, I said: “Mr. Ford, on your roof are three American flags. On seeing them it hurt me to think that beneath them there was a man who is spending vast sums, amassed under their protection, to ruin the defenses of his country, arid lay it open to a possibly hostile world.’’ To this he replied: “When the war is over those flags shall come down, never to go up again. I don't believe in the flag; it it something to rally around.” i.... ~ — iiuci iiiniuiK ui west ern <1 rummers and British administrators and military men. Arabs, Chinese.

From the Washington Star. David Lloyd George, the British min ister of munitions, was the idol of the trade union classes before the war. and lie will probably be their idol again after the war: but just now on account of his advocacy of conscription, he is under a cloud. Henry Taylor, the British consul to Du luth, said of Mr, Lloyd George the other day: “If he's unpopular now, it’s because lie was -so very popular before. His case is like that 01 the young lady. “ 'What makes Marie so disliked?' one girl asked another. " ‘Why, don't you know.' the other an swered 'She got the most votes at the bazar for being popular.’ " A Broken Hearted Wife. From the Boston Globe.

Mrs. Juneb,ride—It's .lust that. 1 married him to reform him. and now I find that he never needed reforming.*’ Convicts as Road Builders. From the Kansas City Star. The splendid roads about Denver and through the now Colorado National Park, are due to convict labor. The state peni tentiary lias found the convicts make good workmen and that they are trustworthy. Convict camps are so numerous that they hardly attract the attention of Colorado tourists. Missouri could have one of the greatest road systems in the country if it wouid use its motor ear license fund and its con victs to build permanent highways. As It Usually Turns Out. From the Birmingham Age-Herald. "Asphodelia Twobble says she will never marry a man who doesn’t own at least two houses—a town house and a country house." "Bet her dream.” "yes?" “It would be cruel to suggest that what fate has in store for her is a grocery clerk for a husband and two light house keeping rooms for a domestic establish ment.” A Natural Mistake. From the New York Sun. "Why didn’t you interfere when the c ook i based the waiter with cleaver and the waitress yelled murder?” "I'thought it was an ordinary cabaret feature. I couldn't understand what the waitress was yelling. 1 thought she was singing.” PLEASED THE WOODPECKER Bird Takes Kindly to Tin Barricade Erected Against Its Peckings. Mrs. John Pozer of Main street, Newton, N. J., feared that a line shade tree on her lawn would be killed by a woodpecker that appeared there every day and pecked away at a hole which he was making larger and larger. Therefore she had her husband tack a sheet of tin over the hole when the bird was absent. Refusing to be discouraged and pre tending he does not know the differ ence, the woodpecker now goes to the tree every day and pecks away like a trip hammer on the tin sheet. The neighbors are nearly crazy with the noise, and there is a law against kill ing woodpeckers. TORTURING SKIN TROUBLES That Itch, Burn and Disfigure Healed by Cuticura. Trial Free.

"His Own Lawyer.” Over and over again, the wisdom of the adage, "A man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client,” and the understanding that inspired the injunction, "Physician, heal thyself,” are established in the courts. Every lawyer is familiar with many instances in which the wills of distinguished jurists have been set aside because they were improperly drawn, and it is a matter of pretty common knowledge that few doctors can diagnose their own ailments. Another exemplification now ap pears in the conflict about the will of the late Dr. Austin Flint. He was, perhaps, more frequently employed as an expert witness as to testamentary capacity than any other alienist in the country. Questions of mental fit ness, of intent, of motive and of the other attributes of a “sound-disposing mind’’ were before him constantly. Yet he drew his own will so ambigu ously, so obscurely, that his executors have been compelled to invoke the aid of the court to determine what the learned testator meant.—Richmond Times-Dispatch.
