OFTEN THE CASE. Women Struggle Hopelessly Along, Suffering Backache, Dizzy Spells, Languor, Etc. Women have so much to go through in life that it’s a pity there is so much sunenng rrom Dactt ache and other com mon curable kidney ills. If you suffer so, profit by this wom an’s example: Mrs. Martin Douglass, 52 Cedar St., Kingston, N. Y., says: “I had a lame, aching back, rtiyrv hpad. I aches, and a feeling of languor.

Cuticura’s Efficacy Clearly Proven. “When about two and a half years old my daughter broke out on her hips and the upper parts of her legs with a very irritating and painful eruption. It began in Octcber; the first I noticed was a little red surface and a constant desire on her part to scratch her limbs. She could not sleep and the eruptions got sore, and yellow water came out of them. I had two doctors treat her, but she grew worse under their treat ment. Then I bought the Cuticura Remedies and only used them two weeks when she was entirely well. This was in February. She has never had another rough place on her skin, and she is now fourteen years old. Mrs. R. R. Whitaker, Winchester, Tenn., Sept. 22. 190S.” Potter Drug & Citem. Corp., Sole Props., Boston. Too Much for His Mind. “Mv first impulses," wailed the Sad Eyed Individual, "are invariably good. In fact. I think that I may venture, without fear of undue exaggeration, to say that they are very good. But I never- act on them! I always act on second thoughts. This trait in my char acter has ruined my career, because my second thoughts are always bad! In fact, I think I may say. without fear of misrepresentation, that they’re punk.1' "Well," suggested he who was lis tening, "why don’t >ou wait until third thoughts, and act on them?” Mournfully, despondently, the Sad Eyed Individual shook his head.

"Don't bother mo, Lucy.” shouted her husband from his "den.” "Archibald," she persisted. "Flense keep quiet. Didn't I tell you not to bother me when I am busy?” "But I must. dear. The children have taken those six bottles of gold paint you bought for the gas fixtures had smeared it on the walls from gar ret to cellar." “That so, Lucy? Well, don’t let that worry you.

The snow sparkled in the tin' roofs. Ear away could be seen the rubicund glow of the coke ovens. All was quiet in the heme of the Pittsburg official. Suddenly a low tap resounded on the j outer door. “Hark, George!” said the official’s wife. "Did you hear that? It may be Santa Claus." "It may be Santa Claus,” said the official, gloomily, "but I’ll bet $4 it’s a deputy sheriff!" And he arose asd put on his shoes. JOY WORK And the Other Kind. I Did you ever stand on a prominent corner at an early morning hour and watch the throngs of people on their way to work? Noting the number who were forcing themselves along be cause it meant their daily bread, and the others cheerfully and eagerly pur suing their way because of love of their work. It is a fact that one’s food has much to do with it. As an example: If an engine has poor oil, or a boiler is fired with poor coal, a bad result is certain, isn't it? Treating your stomach right is the keystone that sustains the arch of health's temple and you will find “Grape-Nuts” as a daily food is the most nourishing and beneficial you can use. We have thousands of testimonials, real genuine little heart throbs, from people who simply tried Grape-Nuts Dut of curiosity—as a last resort—with the result that prompted the testimo nial. If you have never tried Grape-Nuts it’s worth while to give it a fair impar tial trial. Remember there are mil lions eating Grape-Nuts every day— they know, and we know if you will use Grape-Nuts every morning your work is more likely to be joy-work, be cause you can keep well, and with the brain well nourished work is a joy Read the “Boad to Wellville” in every package—“There’s a Reason. ’ PALACE OP AC A/CULTURE VEGETABLE'S G.ROWE AT COLDFVOT riORTH OT A ACT/C C/RCLE I - —l J I VEGETABLES GROWS/ AT LOff/T/G When Alaska years ago conceived <he idea of an exposition in order that it might more perfectly reveal to the world in general and the United States ia particular the wonderful resources and developmem of that far northern territory she realized the impractica bility of holding such exposition upon her own soil. It was then that Seattle. Wash., stepped forward with the cor dial invitation to make that city the scene of such a great fair. The invita tion was accepted, plans have grown and developed and now the Aiaska Yukon-Pacific exhibition is desperately busy erecting the splendid buildings and preparing the places where the ex tensive exhibits are to be placed. The cordial attitude of the Canadian gov ernment and the fact that South American republics will be splendidly represented make the international success of the fair certain. The way the far northwest pgople do things to a finish is well illustrated in the work on the exhibition grounds. Everything connected with this Pacific world’s fair will be ready ahead of time. The first visitor on the ground will see the com pleted buildings—something never be fore accomplished in any pretentious national fair. Alaska's work on this proposition will be tremendous in showung the enormous possibilities of this virgin country. Take the following from an information bureau’s pamphlets: Alaska will exhibit $1,000,000 in vir gin gold. dust, nuggets and brick at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exhibition. The greatest salmon fisheries in the world are on Puget sound. The value of the gold output of Alaska since the northern country was purchased by the United States is 15 times the amount of the purchase ! price. A copper nugget weighing three tons will be exhibited by Alaska. -’he fishing and fur industries have produced 25 times as much as was ori ginally paid to Russia for the northern country. More than 1,0C0,000 plants are now growing in the nursery gardens of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exhibition. The first exhibit to be received on the grounds is 3,000 boxes of red ap ples, which will form a part of the Ore gon state exhibit. Fox farming for skins is the latest industry to be developed in Alaska. There are as many churches in Alas ka. according to population, as in any section of the United States. All of the countries bordering on the j Pacific ocean are now actively engaged j in preparing exhibits, and the reports j that have been received by the man- ' agement are highly satisfactory. Fine j sites have been held for the use of ! Japan and China, and the Oriental dis play will be one of the big features of | the 1909 world’s fair. The. Japanese ; government has shown a very friendly ! interest, and assurances have been re ceived by the Seattle-Japanese associa- j tion from high officials of the govern- j ment that Japan will be well repre sented. The association recently sent a re- 1 quest to the government of Japan that some of the ships of the Japanese j navy be stationed in Seattle harbor during the exhibition period. Assur- i ances have been received that this j will be done, and it is expected that ; at least two of the battleships will be ordered to Seattle early in June to anchor in the harbor with the Pacific fleet of the United States navy, which will be stationed at Seattle during the entire time of the fair. This ts the first world's fair to be held for the purpose of exploiting the countries cf the Pacific ocean, and every country whose shores are washed by the Pacific ocean is a part ner in the great enterprise. The tour around the world of the Atlantic fleet of the United States navy has attract ed attention to the Pacific from every country on the globe, and it is the pur pose of the management to show the conditions, natural resources and com mercial importance of every country bordering on the Pacific. Probably the most unique farm in the world is located on Hound island, Alaska, where Harry Pride, a well known Alaskan, is engaged in the cul tivation of foxes. Mr. Piide has estab lished his fox farm on scientific lines and breeds only the variety of fox that produces the most valuable fur. Most of the stock on his farm now is of the silver tip and silver gray varieties. "A fox skin depends largely upon Its shade and coloring,” says Mr. Pride, 'and by scientific breeding I expect to produce only the very best furs. An ordinary fox-skin is frequently worth no more than HO cents, while the silver gray variety frequently sells for $600 to $800 per skin, and has been known to bring as high as $1,000. “The fox is a very intelligent animal, and is easily tamed. They can be even taught to perforin, but this takes con siderable time and patience. Some of the animals on Hound island have be come so tame that they will eat out of a plate held in the hand. ”It is very rarely that hunters and trappers have ever taken any large number of foxes alive, and 1 propose to have a fine exhibit from my farm at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition. I believe it will be the first exhibit of live foxes of the silver tip and silver gray species ever shown. "As my experiments advance I am more than ever convinced that fox breeding will become one of the most valuable industries of the north. The animals breed very rapidly and with proper care a fox farm should pay large returns.” "It will unquestionably be the most beautiful exposition ever held in the world, and the remarkable progress you have made so far ahead of the opening date amazes me," said Charles Dana Gibson, the creator of the "Gib son Girl.” after a trip over the grounds where the west is building the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition, which will he held in Seattle from June 1 to Octo ber 16. 1909. "I have made no particular hobby of expositions," continued Mr. Gibson, "but I have been to ail those held in recent years, and from what you have already here, combined with the lavish manner in which nature has done her share for you, 1 think I am safe in say ing that this will be the most attrac tive one ever held. I had no intention when 1 left New York of coming to this country again for some years, but I will be back here next June to S€-e your fair. I wouldn't miss the com pleted picture for anything.” Curiosity of Men. “Before I sot this job,” said the drug clerk, “I shared with the rest of the human race the belief that wom an's curiosity is to man’s curiosity as 100 is to cine. Now I have reversed the ratio. The behavior of the sexes when telephoning has convinced me of my former injustice. Very often a man accompanied by a woman stops here to telephone, or maybe it is the woman who wishes to talk over the wire. If it is the man who talks, the woman, apparently unconcerned as to what he has to say, sits quietly at the far end of the store and lets him talk as long as he pleases; but if the wom an talks, the man hangs around the booth, holding the door half open and popping his head inside the booth every few seconds. Now, I call that a complete refutation of popular opinion. You can explain the situation any way you like. 1 don’t know anything about the cause of the phenomenon; it is the phenomenon itself that interests me.” Grammar.

Is Now Seen on Dresses of Every Material and Character. The next striking feature in the new dress is the sa3h, which appears on dresses of every material and char acter. It is like the dress, or it is jet black soft satin or crepe. It swathes the waist or drapes the corsage; forms bretelles and ce:.nture, or cross-waist draperies, dropping at the side of the front; or it hangs to the foot of the dress at the back in long tasseled or fringed ends. Momentarily, at least, the black sash is considered a little mere striking than those that match the costume; but flowered sashes and belts are preferred for the evening or reception gown. The newest idea is the adapting of the bayadere tying of plain or flowered crepe or silk sashes. They are caught up at the waist line in the back, and brought to the front, where they are loosely knotted, as low as the knot of an eastern dancer’s sash.—Harper's Bazar. With Festoons of Baby Ribbon. A very dainty debutante f^^k, shown in the window of an authority tive shop, was of cream all-over net, made with small, surpliced bodice ani scant skirt in dancing length. Abouf the round decolletage and for several inches above the skirt hem were little frills of Valenciennes lace, and over these lace frills were arranged rosettes and festooned loops of pink satin rib bon. The pink note was repeated in a satin girdle and by the big artificial pink rose nestled in the lace of the corsage.—Washington Star. Lace and Fur. Some clever person has hit upon an idea of raising the popular fur turban from the commonplace to the artistic by using a trimming of fine black chantilly lace In the form of a large flat rosette set on the left side. It does not sound particularly fasci nating, but the fluffy mass secured to the hat with a pair of handsome hat pins needs to be seen in order to be appreciated. By its side the feather trimmed or flower decked lynx hat be comes actually odious by comparison. Give what you have.

Washington.—With the transmission of the report of the national conservation commission and accompanying papers. President Roosevelt also sent a message to congress. The following is a com prehensive synopsis of the document: The president declares his entire con currence with the statements and con clusions of the report and proceeds: "It is one of the most fundamentally important documents ever laid before the American people. It contains the first in ventory of its natural resources ever made by any nation. In condensed form it presents a statement of our available capital in material resources, which are the means of progress, and calls atten tion to the essential conditions upon which the perpetuity, safety and welfare of this nation now rest and must always continue to rest. "The facts set forth In this report con stitute an imperative call to action. The situation they disclose demands ttiat we. President Roosevelt. neglecting for a time, if need be. smaller and less vital questions, shall concentrate an effective part of our attention upon the great • material foundations of na tional existence, progress, and prosperity. “The iirst of all considerations is the permanent welfare of our people; and true moral welfare, the highest form of welfare, can not permanently exist save on a tirm and lasting foundation of mate rial well-being. In this respect our situ ation is far from satisfactory. After every possible allowance has been made, and when every hopeful indication lias been given its full weight, the facts still give reason for grave concern.* It would bo unworthy of our history and our in telligence. and disastrous to our future, to shut our eyes to these facts or at tempt to laugh them out of court. The people should and will rightly demand that the great fundamental questions shall be given attention by their rep resentatives. I do not advise hasty or ill considered action on disputed points, but I do urge, where the facts are known, where the public interest Is clear, that neither Indifference and inertia, nor ad verse private interests, shall be allowed to stand in the way of the public good. "The great basic facts are ulready well known. We know that our population is now adding about one-fifth to its numbers in ten years, and that by the middle of the present century perhaps 150.000.000 Americans, and by its end very many millions more, must be fed and clothed from the products of our soil. “We know now that our rivers can and should be made to serve opr people ef fectively in transportation, but that the vast expenditures for our waterways have not resulted in maintaining, much less in promoting, inland navigation. Therefore, let us take immediate steps to ascertain the reasons and to prepare and adopt a comprehensive plan for Inland waterway navigation that will result In giving the people the benefits for which they have paid but which they have not 3’et received. We know' now that our for ests are fast disappearing, that less than one-fifth of them are being conserved, and that no good purpose can be met by failing to provide the relatively small sums needed for the protection, use, and improvement of all forests still owned by the government, and to enact laws to check the wasteful destruction of the for ests in private hands. “We know now that our mineral re sources once exhausted are gone for ever. and that the needless waste of them costs us hundreds of human lives and nearly J3M.OOO.OO0 a year. Therefore, let us undertake without delay the in vestigations necessary before our people will be in position, through state action or otherwise, to put an end to this huge loss and waste, and conserve both our mineral resources and the lives of the men who take them from the eafth. "This administration has achieved some things; it has sought, but has not been able, to achieve, others; it has doubtless made mistakes; but all it has done or attempted has been in the single, consistent effort to se cure and enlarge the rights and oppor tunities of the "men and women of the United States. We are trying to con serve what is good in our social sys tem. and we are striving toward this ond when we endeavor to do away with what is bad. Success may be made too hard for some if it is made too easy for others. The rewards of common industry and thrift may be too small if the rewards for others, and on the whole less valuable, qualities. are made too large, and especially if the rewards for qualities which are really, from the public standpoint, undesir able. are permitted to become too large. Our aim is so far as possible to provide such conditions that there shall be equality of opportunity where there is equality of energy, fidelity and intelligence; when there is a reason able equality of opportunity the dis tribution of reward." will take cars of itself. "The unchecked existence of monop oly is incompatible with equality of opportunity. The reason for the ex ercise of government control over great monopolies is to equalise opportunity. We are fighting against privilege. It was made unlawful for corporations to contribute money for election ex penses in order to abridge the power of special privilege at the polls. Rail road rate control is an attempt to se cure an equality of opportunity for all men affected by rail transportation; and that means all of us. The great anthracite coal strike was settled, and the pressing danger of a coal famine averted, because we recognized that the control of a public necessity in volves a duty to the people, and that public intervention in the affairs of a public service corporation is neither to be resented as usurpation nor per mitted as a privilege by the corpora tions. but on the contrary to be ac cepted as a duty and exercised as a right by the government in the in terest of all the people. The effi ciency of the army and the navy has been increased so that our people may follow in peace the great work of making this country a better place for Americans to live In. and our navy was sent round the world for the same ultimate purpose. All the acts taken by the government during the last seven years, and all the policies now being pursued by the Government, fit in as parts of a consistent whole. “The enactment of, a pure food law was a recognition of the fact that the public welfare outweighs the right to private gain, and that no man may poison the people for his private profit. The employers' liability' bill recog nized the controlling fact that while the employer usually’ has at stake no more than his profit, the stake of the employe is a living for himself and his family. "n e are building' the Panama canal; and this means that we are engaged in the giant engineering feat of all time. We are striving to add in all ways to the habitability and beauty of our country. We are striving to hold in the public lands the remaining supply of unappropriated coal, for the protection and benefit of all the people. We have taken the first steps toward the conservation of our natural re sources. and the betterment of coun try life, and the improvement of our waterways. We stand for the right of every child to a childhood free from grinding toil, and to an education; for the civic responsibility and decency of every citizen; for prudent fore sight in public matters, and for fair play in every relation of our national and economic life. In international matters we apply a system of diplo macy which puts the obligations of internationuUmorality on a level with those that govern the actions of an honest gentleman in dealing with his fellow-men. Within our own border we stand for truth and honesty in public and in private life; and we war stern ly against wrongdoers of every grade. All these efforts are integral parts of the same attempt, the attempt to enthrone justice and righteousness, to secure freedom of opportunity to all of our citizens, now and hereafter, and to sot the ultimate interest of all of us above the temporary interest of any individual, class, or group. "The nation, its government, and its resources exist, first of all. for the American citizen, whatever his creed, race, or birthplace, whether he be rich or poor, educated or ignorant, pro vided only that he is a good citizen, recognizing his obligations to the na tion for the rights and opportunities which he owes to the nation. "The obligations, and not the rights, of citizenship increase in proportion to the increase of a man's wealth or power. The time is coming when a man will be judged, not by what he has succeeded in getting for himself from the common store, but by how well he has done Ills duty as a citizen, and by what the ordinary citizen has gained in freedom of opportunity be cause of his service for the common good. The highest value we know is that of the individual citizen, and the highest justice is to give him fair play in the effort to realize the best there is in him. i ne tasks tms nation has to do are great tasks. They can only be done at all by our citizens acting to gether. and they can be done best of all by the direct and simple applica tion of homely common sense. The application of common sense to common problems for the common good, under the guidance of the principles upon which this republic was based, and by virtue of which it exists, spells per petuity for the nation, civil and indus trial liberty for its citizens. and freedom of opportunity in the pursuit of happiness for the plain American, for whom this nation teas founded, by whom it was preserved, and through whom alone it can be perpetuated. Upon this platform—larger than any party differences, higher than class prejudice, broader than any question of profit and loss—there is room for every American who realizes that the common good stands first.” Accompanying the message are ex planations and recommendations of work to be done for the future good of the country. The president says: ”lt is especially important that the develop ment of water power should be guard ed with the utmost care both by the national government and by the states in order to protect the people against the upgrowth of monopoly and to in sure to them a fair share in the bene fits which will follow the development of this great asset which belongs to the people and should be controlled by them. "I urge that provision be made for both protection and more rapid devel opment of the national forests. Other wise. either the increasing use of these forests by the people must be cheeked or their protection against fire must be dangerously weakened. If we compare the actual fire damage on sim ilar areas on private and national for est lands during the past year, the government fire patrol saved commer cial timber worth as much as the total cost of caring for all national forests at the present rate for about ten years. "I especially commend to congress the facts presented by the commis sion as to the relation between for ests and stream flow in its bearing upon the importance of the forest lands in national ownership. With out an understanding of this ultimate relation the conservation of both these natural resources must largely fail. “The time has fully arrived for rec ognizing in the law the responsibility to the community, the state, and the nation which rests upon the private ownership of private lands. The own ership of forest land is a public trust. The man who would handle his forest as to cause erosion and to injure stream flow must be not only educated but he must be controlled.” In conclusion the prudent urges upon congress the uesirability cf maintaining a national commission on the conservation of the resources of the country. He adds: "I would also advise that an appropriation of at least J50.000 be made to cover the ex penses of the 'national conservation commission for necessary rent, assist ance and traveling expenses. This is a very small sum 1 know of no other way in which the appropriation of so small a sifm would result in so larg- a benefit to the whole nation.” “BOB” MELDRUM TO CLEAN OUT WYOMING CATTLE RUSTLERS. Typical Gun Fighter Will Be Pitted Against Unknown Number of Desperadoes — Men Who Know Say He Will Win. Denver. Col.—“Bob" Meldrum, a typ ical gun-fighter of frontier days, has been given the job of “cleaning out” the cattle rustlers who have been ma king life miserable for the cattlemen in one of their last western strong holds—the Little Snake river country, cn the Colorado-Wyoming line, near Utah.' Pitting one man against a band of outlaws who would just as soon kill a human being as a steer, does not look like the accepted idea of “fair play,” but those who know “Bob” Meldrum have no fears as to the outcome. The cattlemen of the Little Snake river country are backing the sinewy, keen eved deputy sheriff against all the "bad men” who infest that part of the country. For years the country adjoining the Little Snake river has been the haunt of characters more or less undesir able. It is a wild and unfrequented country, remote from railroads. On the vast ranges run countless thousands of cattle and sheep. There have been bloody conflicts between the cattle and sheep men, but finally their dif ferences were adjusted through the recognitioh of a “dead line." The sheep are kept north of the Colorado-Wy oming line, and the cattle range south of that line, except when being driv en to the railroad for shipping pur poses. Before this “dead line” was estab lished clashes were frequent between herders and cowboys, and many par tisans of the sheep and cattle barons lost their lives in duels with rifles. Cattle rustling used to be a flourishing industry in this locality also, and some of the old log cabins along the .Little Snake river have been the gath ering places of bands of desperate out laws, ready for any mischief, from cat tle rustling to robbing trains. "Bob" Meldrum made his reputation as deputy at Baggs, where he broke up the rustler army and drove the last one out of the country. Meldrum's fame as a gun fighter spread and he was in active demand wherever there was trouble. He was for some time employed by the mine owners of Cripple Creek and Tellur ide, during Colorado's bloody war of mining interests. Later he appeared at Boise during the Haywood-Moyer trial. Always his appearance on the scene resulted in a sudden quieting of boisterous spirits. Men who had an nounced that they “were hunting for trouble," vanished *»hen the trouble appeared in the form of this quiet, de termined gun fighter, whose revolv er handle is so notched with death scars that it looks as if a bear had been chewing it. > During Meldrum's absence from the Little Snake river country, the indus try of cattle rustling showed a decided revival, until now it is said to be al most as flourishing as it was before the day of Tom Horn. The cattle own ers claim that there is a regular sys tem of “railreading" stock out of the country. They say that most of the “homesteaders” who have taken out small ranches along the Little Snake valley and its vicinity are not legiti mate ranchmen, but are cattle rust lers, who “pass on” the stolen stock into Wyoming and Utah. In this way, it is claimed, thousands of head of cat tle are being rustled every year. It is to break up this system that “Bob” Meldrum has been called upon. The nervy gun fighter knows his men, and he knows just the capacity for re sistance in each. As a general rule Meldrum never has recourse to his weapon with which he has established such a record 4n the west. He fixes his hard blue, eyes on his victim, and the individual generally “vamooses” or goes quietly to durance. Bets are being made in the cattle country that Meldrum will have the rustlers "cleaned out" in three months. Others are betting that he will meet his death on the lonely range from some assassin’s bullet. Worker Must Love Vocation First Requisite for the Attainment of Success in Any Line. A prime qualification for success in any art, trade or profession is the lave of it, though love alone will by no means bring success in it. The love must be reciprocal; that is, the voca tion must desire its follower, for rea sons which must remain as much a mystery to him as to any of his wit nesses. “She was love-worthy,” says Heine, in treating of a more passional case, “and he loved her; but he was not love-worthy, and she loved him not.” The fond youth, university-bred or self-made, may have ever so great a desire for journalism, but journal ism will have no desire for him, un less he has the peculiar charm for it which commands affection in all cases. He can only prove the fact by trying V and by longing to try with a longing that excludes the hope of every other reward beside the favor of the art he wishes to espouse. Riches, fame, power may be in the event, but they are not to be in the quest. The wish to succeed in it for its own sake must be his first motive, and the sense of success in it must be left to add them selves, without his striving for them. So far as he strives for them, they will alloy and dilute his journalistic suc cess.—W . D. Howells, in Harper's Magazine. THE WONDERBERRY. Mr. Luther Burbank, the plant Wiz ard of California, has originated a wonderful new plant which grows any where, in any soil or climate, and bears great quantities of luscious berries all the season. Plants are grown from seed, and it takes only three months to get them in bearing, and they may be grown and fruited all summer in the garden, or in pots during the win ter. It is unquestionably the greatest Fruit Novelty ever known, and Mr. Burbank has made Mr. John Lewis Childs, of Floral Park, N. Y.. the in troducer. He says that Mr. Childs is one of the largest, best-known, fair est and most reliable Seedsman in America. Mr. Childs is advertising seed of the Wonderberry all over the world, and offering great inducements to Agents for taking orders for it. This berry is so fine and valuable, and so easily grown anywhere, that every body should get it at once.
