THIS WOMAN’S EXPERIENCE Brings a Ray of Hope to Childless Women Lowell, Mass.—‘‘I had anemia from the time I was sixteen years old and was very irregular. If I did any house cleaning or washing I would faint and to be put to my husband every inin las t. __ your 1 E. Finkham’s Vegeta ble Compound and used the Sanative Wash, and Jiave never felt better than I have the last two years. I can work, eat, sleep, and Teel as strong as can be. Doctors told me I could never have children—I was too weak— but after taking Vegetable Compound it strength ened me so I gave birth to an eight pound boy. I was well all the time, did all my work up to the last day, and had a natural birtn. Everybody who knew me was surprised, and when they ask me what made me strong I tell them with great pleasure, ‘ I took Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound and never felt better in my life. ’ Use this testi monial at any time.”—Mrs. Elizabeth Smart, 142 w. Sixth St., Lowell, Mass. This experience of Mrs. Smart is surely a strong recommendution for Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It is only one of a great many similar cases.

A young girl, extremely pretty, and good, until men got hold of her. The worst got her. One, worst of them all, was murdered ' by another, first a fool, then a maniac. The maniac is in his cell. The other in his grave. The girl, grown old in few years, poor and abandoned, took poison the other day. Evelyn Thaw is her name. A dozen photographs of her taken a year apart would tell one story of civilization's work. One war has passed over us. No railroad strike now. Those among the railroad owners that object to “gov ernment management” will observe that without government management and power their roads would be idle today and they without income. They say proudly, "We- can manage our properties.” But they can’t, and know it. They couldn't keep going if the pub lic did not give them money in lumps of $600,000,000 at a time, taken from the pockets of taxpayers. And they could not keep their workmen, if the power of government were not used on the side of the public convenience against the workers’ unions. If that strike had come, it would have cost this country, in hard cash, more than our five years of civil war. A savage Kaffir “with horns like those of a spring bok will soon be brought from Africa to London." So they say, but it sounds unlikely. Evolution doesn’t teach that we came up through the antelope tribe. Many children are born with gills open on their necks, apparently con firming the theory that our ears were formerly gills on a fish. Michael Angelo, it Ui true, put small goatlike horns on his magnificent statue of Moses in the church of St. Peter in Chains,” but he was deceived by a mistaken bible translation. Much Cheap Land. From the Toledo Blade. Not many Americans took the trouble to figure out the price on an acre basis offered for the estate Sir Harry Lauder tried to sell at auction recently and withdrew because no bid reached the minimum value on the property. But It Is fairly certain that those who did work out that little sum In arith metic were surprised that land In Scotland could be so cheap. For about 10,000 acres In Argyllshire the best bid was a little less than $37,000. That made the price offered a shade under $3.70 an acre, or not quite $15 for every four acres. Such figures are not what the average American has in mind when he thinks of land values in the well populated countries of Europe. He knows that a large part of Scotland Is mountainous and to rocky and rugged for much agri culture, but he Is under the spell of old tales about wealth of land proprietors [ In regions long since filled with thrifty people, searching for the means of mak ing a living. What is difficult for Americans to realize is that in very extensive terri tories In Europe agriculture has been paralyzed by the competith n of wide and fertile regions in the United States, Argentina, Canada, Australia and jsmallor countries w'hich afford ample op portunity for the use of improved farm machinery and modern methods of pro ducing grain and meats, wool and dairy staples, on a large scale, with the least possible expenditure of labor. The val leys and hillsides of the Scotch High lands can no more meet the products of American soil than Massachusetts can match Illinois in corn or Connecticut can hold its own against Wisconsin in butter and cheese. The consequence Is that Europe has much land which is not only far below the price of half a century ago, but is extremely cheap, judged by any stand ard except productive power. It looks like bargain counter stuff compared even w'ith the Canadian northwest. All of which goes to show how far this old, time scarred and sadly mishandled planet Is from aproaching the stage when it may bo put to a severe test of its ability to feed its human Inhabi tants. Even China is crowded to the limit only in certain provinces. WHAT TO DO WITH CHARLE8. THE little entente is tired of hav ing to mobilize every few months In order to prevent ex Emperor Charles from returning to Hungary; and being now mobilized, it has demanded that Charles’ per son be handed over, with invasion of Hungary as the alternative. What the little entente intends to do with Charles is not stated. On the other hand, from Paris femes word that the big entente has determined that Emperor Charles and Empress Zita are to be interned aboard a British monitor until the allies reach a decision as to what their fate shall be. If the big and little entente are open to suggestion, it is proposed tbaf^Charles and Zita be allowed to get on the vaudeville circuit in the United States. Charles might learn to balance his scepter on his nose, and with Zita do a nifty song and dance skit, interspersed with a few jokes and a solo on a mouth organ. They would draw full houses and make a pot of money for some ener getic theatrical magnate. On Armistice day, 1918, we thought we were through with this divine rights king foolishness. The claim ot a few men, of skin and bones and afflicted with indigestion pains like the rest of us, to a partnership with Clod had been thoroughly broken down. Now the ultimatum of the little entente brings us up with a jerk to a realization of how far we have slipped back in three yettrs. Mars is again rapping with his sword hilt on the door. So far as making war less likely is concerned, the world war apparently might as well not have been fought. If the disarmament conference fails to get results, what a ghastly Joka it all will have heen! digger Cure and Preventives. The Simms method is tt>e best method •f curing bed bug or ohigget bi\*», I lave found. It consists In the local use chloroform. Pour two or three drops of Chloroform on the bite, cup the hand and hold It over the bite in a way to retain the chloroform vapor in contact with the skin. Hold the hand in posi tion until the burning sensation becomes objectionable. The chloroform pene trates the track of the insect and kills it. There is no reason to remove it after It has been killed. The drug likewise puts an end to the itching and soreness. Twenty-four hours after using It, all unscratched, uninfected bites have dis appeared. One application suffices. It is inadvisable to apply chloroform to the vicinity of parts where skin and mu cous-membrane meet, by reason of the excessive burning and sometimes blis tering which is caused. In such loca tions it Is better to rely on greasing with salted butter. Perhaps the grease Is •uffleient to suffocate the mite, but old chigger doctors think salt helps to kill them, and I know of no proof to the contrary. If the bites have been Infected by scratching or otherwise, application of chloroform will not affect an instan taneous cure, since destroying the cocci of infection is more difficult than is chloroforming a bug. As a rule, chlggers get on the legs near the ankles and crawl up. As a rule, most of the bites are around the ankles and feet, but a fair proportion of the pests prefer to crawl up some distance before trying to dig in. About the best way to prevent chigger bites Is to take a soap and water bath immediately upon coming in from in fested fields. This leads me to think that the insects crawl up the skin, rath er than the undergarments, which Is contrary to the habits of body lice. In fact, I know of no proof that attention to the clothing is of any service in pre venting chigger bites. Rubbing mange cure or other odorifer- , ous creosote preparations on the ankles has some reputation as a preventive. If it did any good in these experiences no one noticed it. If yellow soap as a wash for the legs after exposure has any value over ordinary soap no one no ticed it. NO DIVINE RIGHTS HERE. IF Attorney General Daugherty is sues warrants in case of a rail strike, as he says he will, he should by no means confine them to rail union leaders. Warrants should also be issued for those rail execu tives who have defied the labor board. And down in Wall street, giving orders to the rail executives, are some gentlemen who should like wise be pulled out of their swivel chairs and taken into court. This dispute is by no means a one-sided affair. Nor are rail exec utives and the financiers they obey placed above the law in the constitu tion. In fact the injunction is not contemplated in common law. It has been created by the courts arbitrar ily. However, if it is to be a part of our judicial procedure, it should be applied without fear or favor. It is not impossible that in bring ing the nation to the brink of a strike, railway directors hoped there by to drag a herring across the trail and cause the public to turn its mind from the gouging of the public that they have been engaging in. They talk much of wages, claiming that these are what make operating costs heavy. But they say nothing of other expenses, such as coal. As usual, there’s a reason. Railroad wage increases averaged 30 per cent, between 1914 and 1920, since reduced an average of 12% per cent. But the cost of fuel furnished by coal companies owned and con The Gland Theory. From the New York Times. The growing belief that the endocrine glands, or glands of internal secretion, have controlled the development of man from some form of the higher ape and is now controlling his heredity, was emphasized by speakers before the sec ond international congress of eugenics at the American museum of natural his tory. The best known of these glands is the thyroid which in recent years -had been held responsible for many diseases and nervous conditions and has succeeded the brainstorm and dementia Americana as an excuse for romantic homicides. The pituitary is another gland of the endocrine system which plays almost an equaliy Important part in modern medi cine. There are many other glands in the series which are less well known and which play a part which Is little understood in the life of a human. Mood, conduct and character, stature and physical appearance arc supposed to bo largely determined by the per formance of these glands, which are chemical laboratories. Dr. Charles B. Davenport, director of the eugenics record office, urged before the eugenists that society should not hate or desire vengeance on a criminal, since his criminal bent was the product of his enfi-^rine glands. He favored locking up the criminal out of harm’s way, but treating the man with pity as the vic tim of unfortunate chemical reactions which were not under his control. A person whose prevailing mood is one of gloom is a victim of the glands which ho has inherited, according to Dr. Davenport. The different glands pro duce different chemicals, called hor- ; mones, which are filtered into the bloodstream and carried to different or gans, where they may produce pro found bodily and mental effects. The chemistry of these glands is far more complex than anything known to the laboratory and science has not succeeded In working out much of their processes. % ■ " • • ■ — What Is Wrong? From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch."' Isn’t it time the business men of the United States, whose largest foreign customer is Mexico, enjoyed some of that open diplomacy we have expected and were told why our government cannot recognize the government of Mexico? .St. Louis business men just out of Mexico reported that no one engaged in business in Mexico knows what occa sions continued failure to recognize the Obregon government. Conditions In Mexico, these gentlemen say. are steadily improving. Ho far as they know every obstacls in the way of recognition hfts been rernved. There Is no longer any dispute t»ver Article 27. The export tax on oil has been agreed upon. Mexico’s willingness to create a reparations commission with representatives from injured countries and her eagerness to pay her national debt seem to be accepted as sincere. SOME CANCER SYMPTOMS. _ . • One of the most frequent locations of cancer Is th$ lower bowel. In both men and women, cancer r.f the stomach stands near the top and cancer of the lower bowel follows not a great distance farther down in the list of cancers. In spite of the accessibility of the re gion to examination, as compared with some other favorite sites. Dr. J. M. Lynch tells us that 75 per cent, of the cancers of the lower bowel are not diag nosed until the disease Is advanced. On the one hand the patients do not know what symptoms suggest cancer of this region and on the other physicians pre scribe for such cases without making a careful examination. The earliest outstanding symptom is suddenly developing constipation. If a person who always has been regular rather suddenly develops an obstinate constipation the possibility of cancer should be considered. In these cases when a bowel movement Is produced it Is apt to be explosive and large and t^ be followed by a period of obstinate con stipation. In the movement may be some blood and mucus. Generally there Is an Indefinable feeling of weight, dis comfort and almost pain In the-pelvis. Presently there Is an almost corttinuous desire to go to stool, often Imperative, but not infrequently producing no r» sult. This Is different from pain. Pain as a symptom of cancer does not develop unfit late. In fact, w'hen pain appears the period when cure is possible has pretty well passed. Chronic indigestion with belching, spitting up of food, lack of appetite and sometimes nausea is another symptom of cancer of the loVer bowel. Indiges tion, so-called, never Is more than a symptom and in much more than "half the cases the disease of which it Is a symptom is located elsewhere than In the stomach, maybe the liver, the gall bladder, the appendix and maybe the lower bowel. The^e are about the only symptoms the pa'tilent can go by. In about 95 per cent, of the cases of cancer In this region the trouble is too far from the outside for the subject to feel a tumor. In about 4 per cent, the malignancy starts In the area when hemorrhoids develop and may be regard ed as Nothing moi4 than hemorrhoids oi a prolapse for some time. We should keep clearly in mind that the symptoms given above do not prove that cancer is present. They merely raise suspicions which should lead to early diagnosis if followed up promptly. North Dakota's Troubles Economic. From the Kansas City Star. North Dakota has been such a storm center of politics that it has been dif ficult to get unbiased views of the sit uation there, and the real difficulties the people have had to contend with. Many North Dakota farmers have felt they were victim^of fT conspiracy of out siders to cheat them out of their right ful profits; wh% many outsiders have regarded the state as peopled by a lot of dangerous radicals with no respect for property rights. An unprejudiced and b&rie discussion of North Dakota conditions by an east ern business man, V.SHiam C. Gregg, appears in The Outlook. His conclusion is that the difficulties in that state are economic, not political. The essential fact is that the North Dakota farmer is attempting the Impos sible. He is trying to make a living by raising wheat. This Job keeps h!i# busy four months in the year. Climatic and transportation conditions are such that the wheat profits are precarious. The farmer cannot make a good living year after year with eight mbnths of the year largely nonproductive.. The obvious remedy for this situation in Mr. Gregg’s opinion is diversification of industry. The farmer, he.says, must raise and at 50 cents apiece, he should tan them and make his own shoes and harness. Possibly such industries might be established locally. In some such was as this must improvement come. That the North Dakota farmers had grievances, Mr. Gregg believes. The chief one was the autocratic attitude of the elevator combine of the Twin Cities in buying and grading wheav The conditions that lie points out ex ist in other states besides North Da kota. That is one reason why the* wheat farmer of Kansas, for instance, is con cerned in undertaking the marketing as well as the raising of wheat. Dramatizing the Lyric. From the New York Post. "Why didn't I think of that first?" Barrie muttered in chagrin when he learned that a movie magnate had chosen "Male and Female" as the title l'or a screen version of "The Admirable Crichton." A similar feeling would ani mate Poe were he alive to learn that Bostonians have been viewing a picture of "Anab' l Lee." Poe wrote a passable lyric, but the consensus of opinion among the movie people has been that the six short stanzas are woefully de ficient in plot. This has been repaired by the scenario writer, who carries the love story of David the sailor and An nabel through many adventures and vicissitudes and for the back ground provides delightful pictures of villagers and nature on the stormy Massachusetts coast. Beyond a doubt a romance be tween a fisherman and a Martha's Vine yard maiden was just what Poe had in mind. We hope that the field thus opened up will he fruitful. Longfellow’s "Ex celsior,” for example, could be made into a ( Stunning movie of a poor girl working in an excelsior factory and tyrannise*, over by the brutal factory manager.’ A rattling picture of Harvard undergraduate lift?, with the temptations to which college youths are subjected, could he made out of Lowell’s "Harvard Commemoration Ode." Some acid critics accuse tlie movie writers of lacking Imagination. These censorious waiters assert that hack neyed types and situations are con stantly jpeused, and that when some one starts an Idea-like the adventure of a vamp or the mischances of a comedian In a pie shop, for years we have nothing else. This view overlooks the truly startling originality of the profession | W’hen it deals with classic literary ma terials. Then its imagination shows boundless liberty—or at least takes boundless liberties. Jury duty is recommended as a cure for nervousness by Mrs. Grace Schmidt, of Cleveland. Until she served as a member of the Jury which tried Bobby Hunt on a charge of murdering a police man, she said she had been a sufferer from nervousness that for nearly a year threatened complications. "Jury duty proved to be my panacea and I hope I may be called again. The immensity of the troubles of the old gray-haired itfother sitting there so completely over shadowed mine that I became conscious of a strange but pleasant fact—I could think coherently and I had completely forgotten about my worrying."
