Mrs. Taylor’s Sickness Ended
by Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound
Roxbury, Mass.—“I suffered contin
ually with backache and was often de
spondent, had dizzy
spells and at my
monthly periods it
was almost impos
sible to keep around
at my work. Since
my last baby came
two years ago my
back has been worse
and no position I
could get in would
relieve it, and doc
tor’s medicine did
not help me. Afriend
recommended Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound and I have found great
relief since using it. My back is much
better and I can sleep well. I keep
house and have the care of five children
so my work is very trying and I am very
thankful I have found the Compound
such a help. I recommend it to my
friends and if you wish to use this letter
I am very glad to help any woman suf
fering as I was until I used Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.”—

Cross Examining Nature.
Sir Francis Gal ton was responsible for
Galton’s law of inheritance, which is
as follows:
A person owes one-half of all his an
cestral influences to his two parents, or
one-quarter, 25 per cent, to each par
ent; one-quarter to his four grand
parents or one-sixteenth to each, or 6.25
per cent; one-eighth to his eight great
grandparents, or one-sixty-fourth to
each, or 1,5625 per cent to each.
Or, stating it differently, there is one
chance in four that a child will have
his mother's eyes; one chance in 16
that he will have, let us say, his grand
mother’s eyes; and one chance in 64 that
he will have his maternal grandmoth
er’s mother’s eyes.
When we consider all the. features
taken together tl:e question seems com
plicated.
Later views arc to the effect that in
h^ntanco is far more complex than Gal
ton’s law would indicate. The human
being develops from two cells ore male
and one female, but these in turn are
each composed of 12 parts, 24 in all,
and inheritance depeids on how these
12 parts on each side combine with each
other.
Kvery now and then we find a child
that has some characteristic of a grand
parent, say its maternal grandmother,
although that characteristic is not
found in either of its parents or in any
of its brothers and sisters.
The mathematical probability of any
such happening H. H. Laughlin has
worked out by algebraic formula and
methods. Any man of mathematical
bent can turn to articles by Laughlin
in the Journal of Heredity and in Gene
tics and learn how to calculate the
chance that hl» prospective child will in
herit the beam in the eye found in the
material great grandparent of the girl
he saw in church last Sunday and whom
he is thinking of taking for a moonlight
rido in April—object, matrimony. For
instance, if a defect was in the girl’s
mother’s mother, there are 4,095 chances
In 4.096 that the girl has not a vestige
of the quality in what are called her

pass it on to her children, even if she
wishes.
A very interesting study along tnis
line is that of Davenport on the color
of the skin and of the eyes and of
kinking of the Hair In crosses between
whites and blacks. In Jamaica among
other classes they have what they call
"pass for whites’* and "fixed whites."
When two individuals of the fixed white
class marry the children are all white.
When two grades of the "pass for
whites" marry Borne of their children
are dark.
Davenport says that when a grade
with less than 10 per cent negro blood
marrfes a person of the same grade or
with less negro blood, ths offspring are
always white. If there is more than 10
per cent, in either or both parents some
of the children are likely to be dark.
The yellow color of mulatoes is due to
yellow pigment in the skin of blacks as
well as of grades, but covered up by the
black pigment in the skin of the for
mer. The shade of the skin of the ne
gro is light at birth, turns dark at once
on exposure to light, and gets pro
gressively darker until the age of pu
berty and after that becomes lighter.
The color of the eye is a quality apart
from the color of the skin; likewise the
kink of the hair. Two parents, neither
of whom have kinky hair, cannot expect
to have children w ith kinky hair. There
are several conclusions resulting from
Davenport’s study.
Laughlin, however, after giving the
various mathematical formulae for de
termining the possibility or probability
of a given inheritance, tells us that
there are certain factors which cannot
be mathematically rated. Among those
are the phenomena known as mutants

Interpretation of Asia Minor.
From Humanite.
The eastern question will not be set
tled this time. For months there will
be talk of Thrace and Smyrna and the
straits, and the adventure of the Sevres
parchment, torn up before ever it was
put into force, will remain one of the
most comic episodes in history.
But it is more useful to throw .some
light on the very curious underside of
affairs. Greece and Turkey are not the
only litigants, or the real ones; behind
them stand the great powers in conflict
with one another.
When M. Calogeropoulos demanded
the maintenance of the Sevres treaty
intact, he was not speaking solely in
his own name, lie would not have
shown so much daring if he had not
felt assured of the watchful support oi
England, Greece, whether under Con
stantine or Vcnizelos, is the man-at
arms of the United Kingdom in the
Levant and Mr. Lloyd George wishes
Greece to keep Thrace and Smyrna in
order that he may keep a tighter hold
on Constantinople and the straits.
When Bekir Sarny, spokesman of the
two Turkeys—the Sultan’s and Kcmal’s
—claims the restoration of Thrace and
Smyrna, Constantinople and the straits,
the statements are the more categorical
for his knowledge that it has the* sup
port of France and Italy. Italy objects
to Greek expansion, as she always has
done, because it thwarts her own. Of
ficial France under Briand does not
think as official France thought under
Clemenceau, because the preseue of
public opinion is making the evacua
tion of Cilicia inevitable*.
So Mr. Lloyd George has commis
sioned his agents, M. Calogeropoulos
and the Emir Feisul, and M. Briand
and Storza are sheltering themselves
behind Bekir, Tewfik and the rest.
The Distance We Dance.
From the New York Post.
Many persons, not only of the so
called weaker but of tho presumably
stronger sex, think that walking a half
dozen blocks on some practical errand
is entirely to great a physical effort,
but think nothing at all or dancing
a good portion of the night, it is in
teresting to see just what dancing
amounts to in the way of exercise.
The average waltz requires a dancer
to travel over 1,300 yards and other
dances average around 850 yards. Danc
ing from 9 o’clock into the following
morning necessitates taking 33,000 steps,
or a total distance of over 11 miles.
Fancy the feeling of a girl if invited
to take an 11-mile walk, even if it were
proposed that she be accompanied by
music?
“Our girls are dead, morally,” is a
phrase in a letter smuggled out by way
of Reval. written by a woman to her
nephew' in Wrangel’s army. “1 am kept
alive only by the hope of seeing you

| Story of Colombian Treaty. j
From an Article in t h© Kansas City Star.
Eighteen years have elapsed since
that little international drama was
staged in Panama whose moving in
cidents paved the way for the build
ing of tlie great canal and inciden
tally, as a belated aftermath, for that
troublesomo diplomatic rag baby
known as the Colombian treaty.
When the treaty was under consid
eration some seven years ago, Theo
dore Roosevelt called It a "blackmail
treaty."
The treaty as it was then framed
not only provided for the payment to
Colombia of $25,000,000 as indemnity
for the loss of Panama, but carried in
its opening article a tender of regrets
by the United States and their ac
ceptance by Colombia.
When its terms became known, Mr.
Roosevelt, in the press and on the
stump, denounced it as a bald attempt
at blackmail on the part of the Co
lombians and ns an abject confession
of guilt on the pari of the United
States government. He did not mince
words in dealing with' its proposals.
He said:
The proposed treaty is a crime against
the United States. It is an attack upon
the honor of tl;e United States which, if
justified, would convict the United States
of infamy. It is a menace to the future
well being of our iieople. Either there
is or is not warrant fo.r paying this
enormous sum and for making the apol
ogy. If there is no warrant for it—and,
of course, not the slightest vestige of
warrant exists—then tho payment is sim
ply the payment of blackmail. If tVuc
is warrant for it, then we have no busi
ness to be on tho isthmus at all. The
payment can only be justlrled upon tlie
ground that this nation has played the
part of a thief, or of a receiver of stolen
goods. As a matter of fact, every action
we took was not only open and straight
fnru-nrd .bur mowrendered nhsohdolv
M
cordance with the highest principles of
national, international and private mor
ality.
The treaty, with its apologetic pro
vision, died in the Senate. In its re
vived foim it lacks the apology but
still provides for the payment of the
$25,000,000 indemnity, the payment of
which, as Mr. Roosevelt has stated,
can only be made upon tin? basis of
atonement. Lot us turn back the his
torical page fof a moment, then, and
see what we have to atone for.
The building of an Inter-oceanic
canal had been an international dream
for more than half a century. A pri
vate French company had attempted
to build a canal across the Isthmus
of Panama and had failed after ex
pending millions of dollars. Theodore
Roosevelt believed the canal could be
built, and should be controlled by the
United States.
The second Hay-Pnuncefote treaty,
ratified December 16, 1901. after
Roos.velt had acceded to the presi
dency, gave him the necessary au
thority to proceed. Two routes were
under consideration, one for a oana!
at Nicaragua, the other to go through
the Isthmus of Panama—that is, to
finish the construction begun by the
'•'tench Panama Ctt.nu.1 company Af-cr
many vexing delays and discussions,
an offer was received from the French
Panama company to -ell its rights
and equipment for $40,000,000. On
June 28, 1902. the Spooner bill was
signed hv President RruMevgU and:.be
came a law. I.t authorised (be par
chase of the rights of the French
Company and the acquisition from the
republic of Colombia of a canal zone
through the Isthmus of Panama. In
case the negotiations for the Panama
route fell through, then the necessary
steps were to be taken to construct
the canal through Nicaragua.
To understand the Colombian end
of the deal, it will be necessary to
outline briefly the political situation
there at that time and the relations
then existing beween Colombia and
the state or provine of Panama. The
government of Colombia was practi
cally in the control of one man—J.
M. Mnrroquin—by title president, in
actual power an absolute dictator, by
virtue of a coup d’etat. Colombia
was a loosely knit confederacy of
states driven together by force and
military usurpation. Panama was a
perpetually Insurgent state. By a
constitution to which it had sub
scribed in 1803 it had been invested
with "absolute and unqualified sov
ereignty." But in 1SS6 Rafael Nunez,
president of Colombia, arbitrarily de
clared (hat "the constitution of 1803

The Onion Conquered.
From the New York Herald.
Should the advice to eat more onions
be largely followed it might not only
result in exhausting the old crop but in
creating an eduring demand for a high
ly and agreeably flavored vegetable,
which, the doctors say, is one of the
most healthful, but which some, too
dainty, scorn. A small cup of black
coffee drunk after eating onions will,
it is asserted, overcome the one great
objection to the humble bulbous rooted
plant boiled, friend, roasted or raw.
Robespierre.
From the Kansas City Star.
Robespierre, whose name is one of the
bloodiest in the history of France, was
rot always the bloodthirsty monster lie
became rnder the Terror of the Revo
lution. Within a few short years of the
time that his name grew to be so feared
he ifrlsued Ids office In a fit of remorse
at l aving condemned a murderer to ex
eci.it' m .
He to a criminal; no doubt." Robes
pierre kept groaning to his sister, "A
criminal, no doubt, but to put a man to
de.tth!"
It we * more than he could endure.
Yet half u dozen years later, in laris.
no lot,per existed,” rushed his troops
into Panama, aud robbed Panama of
every vestige of self government.
The double dealing of the Colom
bian government in connection with
the canal treaty finally created the
opportunity for a successful venture
In which, aided by the strained rela
tions between the Colombian and the
United States governments, Panama
finally came into her own. Panama
wanted the canal built, and when she
saw the great undertaking in danger
of indefinite postponement or utter
failure so far as Panama was con
cerned, she took the bull by the horns
and placed herself in a position to
deal as a nation with the United
States. In all of the former revolu
tion? the authority of the United
States had been thrown in favor of
Colombia, upon the theory of pre
serving peace in the prospective canal
zone. This time the United States
intervened in favor of Panama and
promptly recognized the Panama re
public upon its organization of a de
facto government. Here is what had
i happened to bring this consumma
I tion about:
Immediately following the enactment
of the enabling Spooner law, President
Roosevelt instructed Secretary Hay to
open up negotiations for a treaty with
Colombia, on the basis of the United
States taking over tho rights of the
Panama company and proceeding with
tile construction of the canal. The ne
gotiations ended in u'hat is known as
tho Hay-Herran treaty, which was
signed on January 22, 11*03, Dr. Ilerran,
Colon*bian charge d’affaires at Washing
ton, signing with tho authority of the
Colombian government. Tills called for
the payment to Colombia of $10,000,0U0 In
gold and an annual payment of $4,000,000
to begin nine years after ratification of
*■**« i**iiij- uut >Hrwnl» MMtotttwtlto*—
gota politicians got to scratching their
heads and palms and started playing
both ends against the middle. First
they tried to get anoilier $10,000,000 out of
the French company for the right to soil
its concessions, and then they laised the
ante on tlie United States. As the price
of ratification by the Colombian govern
ment, (Jen. Rafael Reyes, tho govern
ment's spokesman, notliled- Secretary
Hay that the deal would be oft unless
: two amendments were inserted in the
I Hay-Ilerran agreement—one that the re
tiring Panama company should pay $10,
,000.000 in gold, and tile other that the
payment of the United States should bo
increased to H2.000.000. Roosevelt and
Hay stood pat on the original agree
ment. Then President Marroquln con
vened the Colombian congress—the first
one in live years. It was a hand made
body, at Marroquin'.s beck and nod. It
began immediately to do business. It
rejected the Hay-Herran treaty, demand
ed the $10,000,000 bonus from the old Pan
ama company, and then suddenly con
ceived another brilliant stroke. It dis
covered that the last extension of time
granted to the old company was invalid
and that therefore the Colombian gov
ernment could foreclose on the Panama
company in about a year's time and It
would then be In a possession to ginb
Coat $10,060,(RO the company was to get
from the United States and sweep It,
with the rest, into the Colombian confers.
: No definite action, however, was taken
' bv Marroquip's congress—it was their
II ollev evidently to sit by and wail for
I the day of foreclosure.
j Then things began to happen at
' Panama. The Panamanians aided and
! encouraged by Bunau-Varilla, an of
! fleer of the French company, speed
| tip trie revolution. Colombian troops
! v. ere landed at Colon and threatened

I would not bo allowed to transport

i organized its de facto government and
: proclaimed its independence as a na

; dependence was made November 4,
i RiOli. Three days later the republic
I of Panama was formally recognised
