Another western Idea was adapted
to city uses the other day when a
south-elder, who once rode tlie radge
on tbe> Colorado plateaus, staked oat
his cals to keep them at home. The
plan worked fine and now the feline
tuiinmis get the air every day at w<«
i ends of tetter ropes.
The cat owner found that evc^y
time be opened the cellar door the
pets made a break for the open, fre
quently staying away for days ami
returning With blackened eye? and
scratched hides. He thought (4 the
tethci plan, but the first trial was not
a success, as the cats slipped the
noases from their necks He then

"Harding plans a super-race of Amer

president Is too wise to plan that. But
he is planning to Improve this race that
needs improvement in several directions.
The president wisely has enlisted the
services of Brigadier General Sawyer,
trained scientist, on whose studies have
not closed nis mind to the possibilities of
improvement.
Observing that one-third of the men
called to the draft were defective phys
ically. General Sawyer will try to rem
edy that, beginning with mothers and
their babies, which is the right begin
ning. The idea is to help mothers be
fore and during child birth, saving
many of the 25,(X;0 mothers that die
during child birth every year, and scores
of thousands of children that die every
year, unnecessarily. That will be a good
beg.nning. The “super-race” can corns

Millston, Wis.—“I want to give you a word of praise for your wonderful
medicine. We are fond of children, and for a considerable time after we
were married I feared I would not have any. I began taking Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound, and it strengthened me so I now have a nice,
strong, healthy baby girl. I suffered very little at childbirth, and I give all
the credit to your medicine, and shall always recommend it highly.’— Mrs.

Mrs. Held of Marinette, Wis., adds her testimonial for Lydia E.

Marinette, Wis.—“I waSinra nervous condition and very irregular. My

There are many, many such homes that were once childless, and ere now
blessed with healthy, happy children Decause Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has restored the mother to a strong and healthy condition, & it
acts as a natural restorative for ailments as indicated by backache, irregu
larities. displacements, weakness and nervousness.
Women everywhere should remember that most of the commoner ailments
of women are not the surgical ones—they are not caused by serious displace
ments or growths, although the symptoms may be the tame, and that is why
so many apparently serious ailments readily yield to Lydia E. Pink ham's
Vegetable Compound, as it acts as a natural restorative. It can be takes
with perfect safety and often prevents serious troubles.
Therefore if yon know 6f any woman who is snfferiog and has been unablo

her to try Lydia E. Pinkham’a Vegetable Compound, as it has brought health
and happiness into so many homes once darkened by illness and despair.

Tariff Prospects.
From the Index.
It Is well for the business and finan
cial worid to consider what is coming
if the program how in prospect is car
ried out.
In addition to any domestic unsettle
ment which may arise from the setting
up of new tariff schedules, there is also
to be considered th!% effect on the whole
problem of world • economic reconstruc
tion.
With the United States a creditor of
Europe and other sections of the world
to the extent of billions; with all in
agreement that the world’s enormous
debt to us can be discharged only by
trade; with exchange and other condi
tions making it exceedingly difficult for
other countries to buy from or sell to
us; and with the "circle of production
/>jid distribution," broken by the war,
still unjoined—under these conditions
ive are proposing by higher tariff bar
riers further to increase the difficulties
of trade reconstruction.
Thts phase of the matter will no doubt
be considered before any tariff bill is
passed. So far it has not apparently
had any more weight with the framers
of the general bill than was given to it
when the emergency tariff was enacted.
Non-political influences alone must ap
parently be depended upon to press for
consideration of what will be the effect
upon our debtors and our already
dwindling foreign trade of action which
will make it still more difficult for other
countries to sell, in this country, the
richest market in the world.
Miss Sadie Mossell, Ph. D.
From the Columbus Dispatch.
There was a time, not very far back,
when no woman had ever been formally
entilted to write the letters "Ph.D.” af
ter her name. Even centuries before the
first formal award of the degree to a
woman, however, women had attained
to scholarly heights well above the level
of the usual requirements for its grant
ing. It was not woman’s slowness of
mental achievement that kept such
honors on one side of the sex line, but
man’s slowness to recognize the im
propriety of introducing a sex distinc
tion in matters of pure scholarship.
It has not been many years since the
degree of Doctor of Philosophy was
first given to a negro. And now, in the
person of Miss Sadie Mossell, of Phil
adelphia, It has first been won by a
woman of the negro race. This will be
much talked of as setting of a new
record; and yet there Is nothing new
in the essential feature, which Is dimply
the granting of the usual distinction for
a definite scholastic achievement. Cir
cumstances have not led negro women
into that line of work, but there is
no Inherent reason why they should
not do it successfully and receive the
customary recognition when it ha*
passed the usual tests. •
The Meat Supply.
From the Wichita Eagle.
Cattle, hpgs and sheep are going oui
of style very rapidly. Newly published
figures show a third less cattle per cap
ita of population, two-thirds less sheep
and 41 per cent, fewer hogs tlrnn there
were in 1900.
The farmers have been forced out of
the live stock business by thousands.
Most of them stuck as long as they
could. Some stuck until the sheriff sold
them out. Others saw the road ahead
clearly enough to desert it in time to
same themselves.
For years the live stock producers
were held on the ragged edge by prices
that something looked as though they
might contain promise of profit. Finally
it got to the point where the farmers
knew they were losing money on every
pound of pork and beef they produced.
Then they quit in drowds. The Big Five
paid dividends. The farmers who raised
the hogs and cattle did not. The wool
trust paid handsome profits. The wool
producers went broke.

Children Cry For
Special Care of Baby.
That Baby should have a bed cf its own all are agreed. Yet It
Is more reasonable for an infant to sleep with grown-ups than to use
a man’s medicine in an attempt to regulate the delicate organism of
that 6ame infant. Either practice is to be shunned. Neither would
be tolerated by specialists in children’s diseases.
Your Physician will tell you that Baby’s medicine must bo
prepared with even greater care than Baby’s food.
A Baby’s stomach when in good health is too often disarranged
by improper food. Cpuld you for a moment, then, think of giving
to your ailing child anything but a medicine especially prepared
for Infants and Children ? Don’t be deceived.
Make a mental note of this:—It is important, Mothers, that
you should remembfer that to function well, the digestive organs of
your Baby must receive special care. No Baby is so abnormal that
the desired results may be had from the use of medicines primarily
prepared for grown-ups.
