ESCAPED AN OPERATION By Taking Lydia E. Pink* Kama Vegetable Compound. Many Such Cages. Cairo, IU.—" Sometime ago I got so bad with female trouble that I thought r I would have to be operated on. I had a bad displacement. My right side would pain me and I was so nervous I could not hold a glass of water. Many times I would have to stop my work and sit down or I would fall on the floor in a faint. I consulted i everal doctors and every one told me the same but I kept fighting to keep from having the opera tion. I had read so many times of Lydia E. Pinkham’a Vegetable Compound and It helped my sister so I began taking it. I have never felt better than I have since then and I keep house and am able to do all my work. The Vegetable Com pound is certainly one grand medicine.” - Mrs. J R. Matthews, 3311 Sycamore Street, Cairo, HI. Of course there are many serious cases that only a surgical operation will re lieve. We freely acknowledge this, but the above letter, and many otherslikeit, amply prove that many operations are recommended when medicine in many cases is all that is needed.

When a clot of blood forma in a blood vessel of the brain the condition Is known as cerebral thrombosis. The symptoms which ensue depend on the location of the clot and the brain cen ters normally supplied with blood by the clogged vessel: The condition is rare. It occurs in very badly nourished, half-starved chll* . dren, also as a sequence of mastoid ab scess, and other diseases in bones near the brain. Occasionally it results in grown people from diseases of the wall of a brain blood vessel or from a morbid tendency of the blood to clot. Cerebral thrombosis generally pro gresses suddenly. It begins with vague pains, numbness, tingling in the head and legs, vertigo, dizziness, gradually increasing mental heaviness, and loss of muscular power. There may be one sided paralysis. Impairment of speech is a symptom in a few cases. When a clot of blood or other foreign body is swept by the blood stream into a vessel of the brain and lodges there the condition is known as cerebral em bolism. The most frequent cause of embolus is vegetation or clot on a heart valve. Among the diseases which underlie cerebral embolism most frequently are heart disease, rheumatism, and pyemia. Among the symptoms of embolism are sudden onset of paralysis, generally one sided, and occurring usually in a com paratively young person who gives a history of heart disease or rheuma tism. The third and more important form of apoplexy is that which is due to rap ture of a blood vessel, attended by hemorrhage Into the brain. In hem orrhagic apoplexy tWere Is a break in a previously diseased blood vessel. The blood pours into a certain area in the brain, destroying the cells and libers in the area. Apoplexy due to hemorrhage gener ally comes on suddenly in a person beyond middle life. In some cases the individual knows that he has had a high blood pressure and he may have complained of some dizziness and ver tigo: Tjie common name for this con- | dltfau, a "stroke,” implies that paralysis develops suddenly. Generally the pa tient lieB unconscious with flushed face and pulsating neclc arteries for several days. Fever is a common symptom pres ent a short while after the onset of the disease. The paralysis is generally one sided and speech practically always is affected. ■When a given case of either of these diseases is typical, diagnosis between them is not difficult. But there Is a great group of cases without typical symptoms in which diagnosing is not much more than a gamble. Of them apoplexy due to hemorrhage is far the most common and thrombus the least so. If the subject is a middle aged man with a history of high blood pressure, hemorrhage apoplexy is the best bet; if a younger person with a history of heart disease, embolus is the more prob able. If there is a history of involve ment of a mastoid or sinus or of the nose, thrombus is the more likely ex planation of the paralysis. Improbable Epitaphs. Prom the New York Sun.

From the Des Moines Register. Senator Kenyon is speaking with en thusiasm for Senator Hiram Johnson for president. We hope it is not unfair to the senator to recall that he spoke with equal enthusiasm for Harding for governor and Salinger for supreme judge. Our junior senator always scpaks with enthusiasm but unfortunately his voice IS not always pitched in the same key. • * • In a fine burst of emotion Senator Kenyon is quoted as saying: "It is Article X and force under Article X. Let that question go to the country. Let the fight come.” The Register must again remind the senator that unfortunately for him Arti cle X .in almost the exact words in which it appears in the league covenant, was the 14th point of the president’s 14 points, and in those exact words it was presented to the Senate eight months before, by the common consent of everybody, it was presented to Ger many as the basis of the armistice. Article X was read in the senator’s hear ing a year and a half before the peace treaty was agreed upon. The question must be now with every friend of the senator, why, if this article raised "the white flag of international ism,” he did not declare it then, why he eat for eight months until the armistice was signed and then another period of months until the peace treaty was writ ten without raising his voice? Adam's Language. From the Boston Transcript. Albert Brisbane's erudition has been called In question because in a recent article he makes Adam name the ani mals “In Hebrew”—the criticism being that Adam antedated the development of the Hebrew language by some thousands ef years. Mr. Brisbane's reference was a flight of fancy, and truo fancy need fear no anachronism. And if Adam did net talk Hebrew, what did be talk? There Is no use at all In being fussy en sucb questions as that It reminds •ne of the righteous anger of Oom Paul Kruger, president of the Transvaal, when some -foreigner who was visiting him spoke of the "translation of the Bible Into Dutch.” 'Translation!" roared Oom Paul; "everybody knows that the Bible was written In Dutch." He be lieved It. We don’t, but sometimes It la hard to Imagine it as having been writ tea In any other tongue than the English of the Authorized Version. Consumer Pays Caesar. From the Los Angeles Times. ' It was Christ Himself who taught the lesson that religion did not exempt the Pharisees from their civil duties and obedience to princes wherein they have a power to command when they showed Trim a denarius and asked whether it was lawful to pay tribute to Caesar. He told them to render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s. From the beginning the people of the world have been laid under taxes for the maintenance of the governments, and from the days of Pharaoh the cost has been passed, to the ultimate eorisumar l IV/ - (Notional Crop Improvement Service.I WHILE oats Is one of the most Important • crops we have, yet It pays, perhaps less than any one of the major crops.

Oat smut costs the country more than two hundred million dollars every year. The day of haphazard farming has gone forever. It Is, therefore, our duty, ns well as our happy privilege, to be able to save this much money and besides to grow an Infinitely greater yield. Wherever there has been a farm bureau organization and in mrfny places where no organization exists, the systematic treatment of all seed oats with formaldehyde Is a big step towards a hundred bushel yield. The work Is very simple; three operations only. Spread the seed oats on a clean floor; make a solution of one pound of formaldehyde, full strength, In forty gallons of water and sprinkle the oats until they are moist enough to pack In the hand. This will take a gallon of the solution to a bushel and a half of Oats. Shovel the oats over and over to.moisten every grain nnd then shovel into a pile and cover with clean grain sacks. Let the pile stand two hours at least, but better let It remain over night. Sow at once or spread out the heap and dry, then store In clean sacks until ready to plant The oats will swell some. There fore set your drill for a greater de livery. Soak all bags in the formal dehyde solution whether used for covering or for storing. Also wash out your grain drill with the solution. This ought to be done every year whether you have a bad attack or not. j Another Little War. _j From the London Times. We must assume that the colonial office, which is at present in charge •< Colonel Amery, has good grounds for sanctioning another expedition in Somaliland against the Mullah Mahomed Abdullah, who is no more "mad" than the rest of the world. Whatever the reasons may be, they will have to be scanned very closely, for the nation is in no mood to concur in the waging of any more little wars just now than may be absolutely necessary. The last operations against the Mullah were undertaken in 1914, since when he has suffered eclipse owing to the great war. Apparently he has been sending out bands of raiders, in conformity with his old custom. He is klso said to have been preaching a holy war, which need not trouble us very much, because he has done so at intervals ever since he sat at the feet of Mahomed Salih at Mecca a quarter of a century ago. The new expedition is to take the form of combined Anglo-Italian action. Indian and African troops, w'.ch tanks and an air force detachment, have been landed at Berbera, in British Somaliland. The Italians have chosen as their base the port of Obbia, in Italian Somaliland, from which a British column advanced against the Mullah in 1903. This is tho first time Italian troops have co-operated with us in Somaliland .though on more than one occasion we have had assistance from the Abyssinians, who have a long score of their own to settle with Mahomed Abdullah. Presumably the theater of the operations will chiefly be the Ogaden country, which is nominally Abyssinian, though as a matter of fact all this wild region has no sort of administration. A minor Jubaland chieftain, the head of the Aulihan tribe, is said to have joined the Mullah, and to be raising a tribal force. The British and the Italian columns are eventually to converge in the northern Ogaden country at Gagab, a place which stands in the Milmil valley. Expeditions against the Mullah have been so frequent in the last 20 years that it is difficult to trace them all, but there seem to have been at least seven series of operations. They have ranged in strength from a few hundred men to the little army 6,000 strong commanded by Sir Charles Egerton in 1903-04. Almost invariably the results have been indecisive. The Mullah’s horsemen and spearmen move with extraordinary rapidity, and live on the country. The potentate himself has no permanent dwelling place, but lives in big and straggling camps which he can abandon in a night Some times we have hit him very hard. Once or twice he has hit us hard, as when a British force was cut up near Gumburru in April, 1903. invariably we have had to retire without overwhelming our elusive foe. Transport and water difficulties have generally proved our undoing. Whether the tanks will be of much service in this peculiar form of warfare is doubtful. It will be rather like chasing a hornet with a steamroller. The airplanes, however, which are being used in Somaliland for the first time, ought to bo of immense assistance, if they are of a recent pattern. They will be operating over very different country from the mountains of the Indian frontier. At the same time, we see no reason to modify the view we expressed, not for the first time, in March, 1914, when we said: “The only way to hold the interior of (British) Somaliland is to build a railway to Bohotle (on our own frontier), and to garrison the protectorate with a substantial force of Indian troops. The country is not worth it. We continue to believe that the only prudent policy is to leave the interior severely alone." Just now we cannot afford to build railways across arid deserts; yet it would be better to spend the money thus than to throw it away upon an eighth "will-o’-the-wisp” expedition. Lest the friends of every countiy but their own may be tempted to waste any sympathy on the Mullah, we may add that in his methods, and in his lust for slaughtering the helpless peoplt whom he raids, he very much resembles the former “Khalifa” of the Sudan. The Vanished Ears. Where are the ears of yesterday Which soft locks used to frame. To which the poet sank his lay, The lover breathed his flame? Now flapping pads of hair conceal, Imprison and suppress A feature which was once revealed In all its loveliness. Why is the modest little ear Thus cheated of Its due, While, mountain-like, bold spines up rear Their vertebrae to view? And ankles, once so. coyly hid Prom idle passerby. Now flaunt their trimness unforbid To every heedless eye? Have those keen brains that yesterday This port of entry knew Become too weak to hear and weigh The views that'might pass through? If ears are made for hearing, dears, It's cruel and obtuBe To hide them with what lnterfera With their Intended use. No Hebe ever thus defaced Her charms to follow fads. Or sculptor ever dared disgrace A Venus with such pads. The vanished years of yesterday Our hearts can never know, But, ohl tthe ears of yesterday Bet style again bestow! —Adalena F. Dyer, In the New York Times. Short World War. From the New York Post. Rear Admiral Sims has done a service for clear Judgment.by emphasizing the distinction between the navy's sup posed derelictions In the first six months of our war and Its “magnificent* per formance once the navy got started. Admiral Sima Is not so happy when he makes tthe charge that our hesitation during the first six months prolonged the war by four months, at a cost of 1,000 Uvea and *100,000,0(0 every day. The data tor sdch an exact mathematical apportionment ef responsibility hardly exist. If every administrator and every gen eral In every country who has been ac cused of prolonging the war were really guilty of the exact number ef months and weeks he delayed the approach of victory the war would be going on for another 2D or 80 years. Joffre, by his mistakes, prolonged the war. So did Nivejle. Sp did Bords French and Haig. So did Winston Churchill at, Gallipoli. So did Von Kluck. So did Mr. Wilson by tefusing to follow General Wood's lead. So did Asquith. So did Kerensky, Erzberger, Palnleve. Every parliamen tarian in every country who ventured to point out mistakes of government was guilty of prolonging the war by lending aid and comfort to the enemy. Strikes prolonged the war. Exoessive sugar eating prolonged the war, etc. There was just one man, now a resi , dent of Amerongen, who prolonged the war. He did that by starting a very short war. But the Initiative fortu nately passed out of his hands at the Marne. Thereafter the war was pro longed until the resident of Amerongen lost his. war and his throne. Perhaps that is the one thing to remember Feathers Make Cloth Poor. From the New York Evening Sun. Feathers may do for the adornment ol birds and as decoration for the head gear of women, but as wearing apparel for men they are "no go," according to those interested in textiles, who have been watching the effect of wear and tear on cloth partly composed of Bhred ded chicken feathers. Overcoats and suits manufactured from a composite cloth including feathers wetre found to be ready for the ragpicker far ahead of what ought to be the actual wearing life of cloth fabrics. No Shortage of Cement From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Cement Is becoming more and more a factor in construction work each suc ceeding year. It is one of the few ma terials that has not advanced greatly in .price. There probably will be a bigger demand for it this year than ever before. . Lately, because of car shortage in the East the movement of cement from the kilns has been checked. This has lead short sighted persons to boy wildly. There la no shortage. There Is and will be plenty of cement to go around unices construction people, In their folly, figur atively fall over each other in their efforts to obtain cement and then over stock themselves and cut off the sup plies of others. Do jiot let any one ten you there Is a shortage of cement There la not The car trouble will be adjusted In time. There should be no Increase In price. The cement makers do not want any increase. They have done very well by -the public and they mean to continue dolug so. They are wise. They are fol lowing the course that means a great broadening of their business.

MODERN YOUTH HARD TO TRAP Little Near-Tragedy Story That Is an Example of His Quick Wit and Duplicity. Of course, he shouldn’t have done It, and all that sort of thing, but both Hazel and Betty were charming girls, and It was summertime, and be was young, and he had gone and got him self engaged to both of them. He was sitting on the beach pondering the various problems this situation pre sented, when two soft hands were laid lightly over his eyes and a soft voice whispered at the back of his head “Guess who?” Now, the voices of Hazel and Betty were much ulike, too much alike when heard as a whisper to make Identifica tion sure. And It didn’t help any when the voice cooed—‘Til give you a hint— It's some one you told you loved.” Still he hesitated, his mind in a whirl. Should he name either girl and chance It? Already he felt a cooling of the air, as the voice continued: “Well, if that doesn’t tell you who-1" “Of course I know who It Is!" he ex claimed. “It Is the prettiest, sweetest, dearest, smartest little girl In ull the world 1” - “Oh, you dear old boy 1” sh’fe chirped in satisfied delight. “How did you really know for sure It was I?” Farmers are the only men who can “help each other with their work.” FASCINATED THE FAIR SEX Marat, Repulsive In Peraon and Man. nera, Wat Noted for His At tractiveness to Women. Jean Paul Marat, one of the leading and most Infamous figures of the French revolution, was described by a contemporary as “beyond any ques tion the ugliest man In the whole of France—and not merely ugly, but pos itively repulsive In person, habits and mnnbers," And yet, In his early years, he was the jgost popular physician In Paris, not because of supposed pro fessional skill, but on account of Ills attractiveness to Women, the most wealthy and beautiful Women of France dally crowding his consulta tion rooms, pushing, almost fighting, to get a word or perhaps, a single from , him. That be turned a cold shoulder to their allurements seemed only to Inflame their ardor, and at one time he contemplated flight, so embarrass ing became their attentions. Even when he contracted a loathsome skin disease while hiding In the sewers of Paris, fair women continued to adore him. Usually no more can be got for old junk than you would pay If you bought It.
