THE MAKING OF A FAMOUS MEDICINE How Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Is Prepared For Woman’s Use. A visit to the laboratory where this Successful remedy is made impresses! even the casual looker-on with tne reli ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness which attends the making of this great medicine for woman’s ills. Over 350,000 pounds of various herbs are used anually and all have to be gathered at the season of the year when their natural juices and medicinal sub stances are at their best. The most successful solvents are used to extract the medicinal properties from these herbs. Every utensil and tank that comes in contact with the medicine is sterilized and as a final precaution in cleanliness the medicine is pasteurized and sealed in sterile bottles. It is the wonderful combination of roots and herbs, together with the skill and caro used in its preparation which has made this famous medicine go successful in the treatment of female ills. The letters from women who have been restored to health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound which we are continually pub lishing attest to its virtue. BIG DEMAND FOR MAHOGANY Name Commercially Is Applied to More Than Fifty Woods—Sub stitutes Are Numerous. The name “mahogany” is applied commercially to more than 00 different woods, says Popular Science Monthly. Perhaps half the lumber now sold un der that name In not true mahogany, for the demand greatly exceeds the supply. The (ree Is only native to the limited area between southern Florida and northern South America. Nowhere else does It really flourish. But the public will have mahogany. Women want it for furniture, business men prefer it for office fixtures, and teak and ma hogany are rivals in the affections of shipbuilders. Therefore substitutes flourish. It is not surprising that the real wood is so expensive when it Is learned that it takes from one hundred to one hundred and fifty years for a ma hogany tree to reach merchantable size. Most of the substitutes bear little more than a general resemblance to the genuine wood, but skillful finishing makes them very much alike. Experts can usually distinguish between them by the aid of an ordinary pocket lens. The efforts of the superficial, however, to judge tlie wood by its appearance, weight, grain and color often lead them astray. FARMERS ARE WORKIKS HARDER And uving their feet more than ever before.

The newst thrill in life, besides which stunts of movie actors and ac cesses and women steeplejacks fade away is government secret service work, iccording to Miss Kaelred, English actress. Miss Kaelred has known many secret service operatives and has decided to quit the stage to take up war sleuthing. She first got the "bug” while starring in r. war play in London. j An Effective Curb on Germany, j Harrington Emerson, in the American Review of Reviews. An International Marine association is neither a boycott nor a discrimination. Rules would apply to all members alike. No trade war is instituted against the degenerate who rages nakedly in his own house. He can come into the street and trade anywhere if he behaves. Even if Prussia evacuates France and Belgium and little Luxemburg, Poland, Russia, Rumania, Serbia, Montenegro, and Italy, her word is not good, but internationalized seas would hold her within moral boundaries. Running amuck would mean that all the crowd would join in subduing her, every port and coaling station and cable office would be closed to her. Does this mean that the strategic passages of the sea, the straits of Gibraltar, the Suez canal, the Panama canal, the straits at Singa pore, the Dardanelles, should be internationalized? They should on the contrary' be strongly fortified and held by the present allies severally for at least 100 years, until three generations of German are dead and gone, until treaties are not scraps of paper. The police force of our cities, while making the streets safe for all, do not give up control of their police stations. These are held as rallying points of order. Would the United States dismantle its forts commanding the narrows and the entrance to Hampton roads? Not yet. Germany is not to be trusted even if she should join an international marine, By holding the great sea passages the allies, loyally' joining the International Marine, must hold the whip over any' power cpiite capable of building secretly 1.000 submarines with which suddenly to attack her sea neighbors at some future date. It was one thing to attack in succession Poland, Sweden, Austria, Denmark, France, Russia and Belgium. It would be" quite another to antagonize a whole world, holding the great passages, the coaling and repair stations evervwhere. ! _ . Jeweled Sword to March. From the New York Times. The city of Easton, Pa., 'birthplace of Gen. Peyton C. March, chief of staff of the army, has presented a jeweled sword to him. The presentation was made by ^Ipyor David W. Nevin. After expressing hH appreciation for the gift, General March told of some of the accomplishments of the war depart ment during the past few weeks. In May, he said, more American troops were taken to Europe than were there when he left in February. It was not only the man power of America that was now mobilized, the general said, but other re sources, including the emotional forces of the country. By a great wave of patriot ism, he 'declared, those who have sought to accumulate profit from the war have been swept aside. Motor Driven Plane. From the Emergency Fleet News. A motor driven, portable jack plane adaptable to plain, convex or concave surface, which it is claimed will enable cne man to do the work of from 20 to 30 men with old fashioned hand planes, is being introduced’ into shipyards at Jack sonville, where it is manufactured. Offi cials of the shipping board have expressed much interest in the speed, endurance and efficiency claimed for the new tool. The apparatus consists of a small motor, which supplies power, a flexible arm through which the power is transmitted, and the planing tool guided by hand and ' containing a cutting burr with which the driving shaft is connected. Army Cures Alcoholism. VFilliam C. Gorgas, in Collier's Weekly. Eight hundred cases of alcoholism have been cured during our camp experience. Thi3 is a condition that comes to us from civil lifo when the men are drafted. These men may backslide at some future time, when they are released from military supervision, but for the time being, at least, 800 lives have been rendered nor mal and temperate. Outstretched.

Husbands, too, are “simply trimmed,” My dear. —Fargo Courier-News. “Franglais” a New Tongue. From the Fargo (N. 1>.) Courier-News. "Franglais” is a new language that you hear in France today. The word Is made out of francais and anglais -the French words for French and English—and the language itself is maoe out of a fearful jumble of words that were perfectly good when they played by themselves, but don't al s ays mix. Franglais is what you hear where American and English men aikd women without a very good knowledge of their hosts' own speech find themselves at work alongside of French men and French women—soldiers, nurses, relief workers, shopkeepers and ail sorts of folks. American Red Cross workers t-ojy that when you gather up several hundred little French babies who have hardly begun to speak any language at all, and several hundred llttler ones who are speaking the universal and universally incompre hensible language of babyhood, the re sults are one degree harder to under stand than grownup Franglais. 4 TELLS ITS OWN STORY. 4 4 - 4 4 From Stars and Stripes. 4 4 There is a hotel in France which 4 4 is much frequented by men of the 4 4 A. E. F., generally transients, who 4 4 stop there between train journeys 4 4 to enjoy their first sleep in real 4 4 beds in many months, to eat din- 4 4 ner and breakfast off a real table 4 4 cloth, and to taste tlie nearest ap- 4 4 proximation to tho comforts of an 4 4 American home which the Y. M. C. 4 4 A. can give. 4 4 In the reading room of the hotel 4 4 is a guest book, on the cover of 4 4 which is a notice bidding the read- 4 4 er write his name and a happy 4 4 thought within. 4 4 What are these happy thoughts? 4 4 Bright lines? Home town boosts? 4 4 The old familiar autograph album 4 4 humor? Many of them are, but at 4 4 least every other ono reads vary 4 4 much like this: 4 4 “Clod bless the women of America 4 4 who have come over hero to hc^ 4 4 us.” 4 4 Stand us face to face, and we 4 4 aren’t very sentimental. We aren’t 4 4 given to blubbering, or gushing, or 4 4 “soft soaping.” But the secret of 4 4 that little book establishes a bond 4 4 of sentiment that every man-jack 4 4 of us is proud to echo. 4 4 44 DOG A PROBLEM IN ENGLAND Diminishing Food Supply Makes Ca nine Industry Difficult One From War Standpoint. The British government Is wrestling with nrobletn of whnt to do with dogs ■ of the rapidly diminish ing .f food. It seems settled that nber of dogs is to be re duced. e are hardly any dog bis cuits lei nd no more will be manu factured, ns tbe low grade flour from which they are made Is wanted for the textile trades. Bminr Law, Chancellor of tbe exche quer, refused to Include a heavy rax on dogs In bis budget, which be In troduced In tbe last week of April. Ills friends said that such a lax would kill dog-breeding as an Industry) and , would work unequally between rich and poor. Tbe poor man’s dog would be sacrificed, while tbe pampered j Pekinese would flourish. Now tbe alternative proposal Is to ! prohibit the breeding of dogs during j tbe war except under license. The ef- ; feet of this would be to allow the per- | petuation of pedigreed breeds, which i have taken many years and large sums J of money to produce, and also useful dogs, like sheep dogs and array dogs. Tbe breeding of mongrels and prob ably of purely fancy dogs would be prohibited. There will be no interference with people who already have dogs. They will in tbe future need all their In genuity to keep pets fed. Militant Medicos. Events in France have led to a shortage of medical men with the ar my, for it stands to reason that In any toll of prisoners taken a percentage will represent the medical personnel of the forces. And that percentage ! must often be n high one, as In the zones of the clearing station mobility cannot be a feature. Cuticura Complexions.

Dubious Compliment. “Mrs. Bings’ new baby Is just in the fashion.” “How do you mean?” “It is sueli a red cross affair.” Not Surprising. “Is your lazy husband doing any thing now, my poor woman?” “Yes’m; lie's doin’ time.” Tlie woman “peanut butcher” lias appeared on some of the Western rail roads.
