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.

FORMS OF APOPLEXY.
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.

Kenyon for Johnson.
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.

' " ----■■■IP— W ■■ J '"I. U|. ■-*».

try oats Is necessary In the rotation.
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

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!

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

Of course, he shouldn’t have done It,

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

“Oh, you dear old boy 1” sh’fe chirped

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.
