f * - ' ' V ? , , Cure ForThe Blues ONE MEDICINE THAT HAS NEVER FAILED Health Fully Restored and the Joy of Life Regained When a cheerful , brave , light-hearted Woman is suddenly plunged into that perfection of misery , the BLUES , It is ft sad picture. It is usually this way : She has been feeling " out of sorts " for some time ; head has ached and back also ; has slept poorly , been quite nervous , and nearly fainted once or twice ; head dizzy , and heart-beats very fast ; then that bearing-down feeling- , and during her menstrual period she is exceedingly despondent. Nothing pleases her. Her doctor says : " Cheer tip : you have dyspepsia ; you will be all right soon. " But she doesn't get " all right , " and hope vanishes ; then come the brood- ' incr , morbid , melancholy , everlasting BLDES. Don't "wait until your sufferings have driven you o despair , with your nerves all shattered and your courage gone , but take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound. See what it did for Jlrs. Rosa Adams , of 819 12th Street , Louisville , Ky. , niece of the late Gen eral Roger Hanson , C.S. A. She writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham : " I cannot tell you with pen and ink what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I suffered with female troubles , extreme lassitude , ' t&e blues , ' nervousness and that all-gone fealing. I was advised to try Lydia E. Pmkhrun's vegetable Compound , and it not only cured my female derangement , but it has restored me to perfect health and.strength. . The buoyancy of my younger days has returned , and I do not sui tor any longer with despondencv. as I did be fore. I consider Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound a boon to sick and suffering women. " If you have some derangement of the female organism write Mrs. Pinkham , Lynn , Mass. , for advice.

HERE are two kinds of abuse of the flag , and both are objectionable. One abuse consists in using the flag to advertise goods , enterprises or occasionsrithout arousing a wholesome pat riotism. Against this form of misuse the Amer ican people have raised their voices in emphatic and effective protest. But there is another abuse Tfhich arises from an improper conception of public duty , and such a case occurred the other day in Minnesota. There has been a local agitation around the city of Hutch- Inson against Sunday baseball , but no court processes have availed to prevent the games , the managers of the sport having won their cases. Finally , aroused to a pitch of high Indignation , a woman , who is prominent in the com munity , sought to put an end to the practice by unusual methods. She attended a Sunday game with a large flag draped around her gown , displaying a placard with the words : "To attack the flag of the United States while it is being used in the enforcement of law is , according to the statutes , high treason. " When the game was started she advanced to the center of the diamond and stationed her self , thus attired , between the pitcher and the batsman , in an effort to have the flag hit by the ball. After a ridicu lous performance , the players trying to avoid striking her , and she dodging to and fro In ordor to get in the line of fire , the spectators , tiring of the unusual sport , took a hand and swarmed into the field , surrounding the determined woman and forcing her off the field. The game then pro ceeded without molestation. This woman's purpose was to enlist the federal authorities in the crusade against the Sunday ball players , butof course , she would have failed to do soBeven if she had succeeded in getting the flag hat by a ball. In thus Invoking the aid of the national emblem she made not only herself , but to some degree the flag itself , ridiculous. Washington Star. New Anti-Trust Decision. N accordance with Attorney General Moody's decision that the government may take rebates 1 I from railroads transporting material or ma chinery to be used on government works Sec retary Hitchcock will accept reduced rates from all common carriers willing to give them " " " " ' in connection with the contracts for irrigation dams and other constructions in the arid regions. In the Attorney General's opinion , however , the right of public authorities , including those of States and municipalities , to accept rebates is dependent upon the fact that govern mental works , as roads , water supply systems , etc. , are not competitive. If a city or State or the United States- should enter upon a commercial enterprise , as the refine ment and sale of petroleum , for Instance , the rule as to equality of rates to all shippers for like service would become operative. When Kansas shall get its projected oil refinery agoing the State government would be nnder legal compulsion to pay the published rates for shipping and distributing the product. So would the Standard Oil Company , to be sure ; but this concern could dodge the law by securing secret concessions from the railways , whereas the State , which must conduct Its business above board , could not. Some- tow the anti-trust decision of President Roosevelt's admin istration seems to redound mainly to the advantage of the trusts.Philadelphia Record. The Panama Canal and the Jap. HE prospect of this country's being flooded by a tide of Japanese coolie labor brought over in thousands to work on the Panama Canal , is anything but assuring. It is thought the Japs that come over will never go back , but will find their way into our Southern States and spread throughout the whole country. It Is a problem affecting American labor much more Intimately than does even the proposition of the canal com- FISHERIES OF JAPAN. In Many Bcapects They Take First Hank Over Tlioae ot Other Nations. The fisheries of Japan are less valu able than those of several other coun tries , but th&y take first rank over those of all other nations (1) ( ) in the actual number of people making a live lihood thereby ; (2) ( ) in the relative num ber of persons engaged in and depend ent on the industry ; (3) ( ) in the quanti ty of products taken annually from the water ; (4) ( ) In the relative Impor tance of fishery products in the domes tic economy j\u ) in the ingenuity and skilf shown by the people in devising and using fishing appliances and pre paring the catch for vise ; ( G ) in the ex tent to which all kinds of water prod ucts are utilized ; (7) ) in the extent to which the fisheries of foreign countries have been studied and the best meth ods adaptc-d to home conditions ; (8) ( ) In the extent to which agriculture has been carried ; (9) ( ) in the zeal and Intelli gence displayed by the government in promoting the developmc-ut of the fish eries and the welfare of the fishing population. From the earliest times down to the present day , fishing has supplied the staple animal foods and a largo por tion of the vegetable and mineral * foods consumed in Japan , andnone of the other great powers is now so de pendent on the water for subsistence. Bo Important are water products and BO numerous are their kinds and the methods of preparation , that I venture the assertion , from what I have seen of domestic life in Japan , that every day In every Japanese family some form of fishery food is served I am almost ready to say at every meal. The Japanese fishermen as a class are hardy , skillful , energetic , sober , self-reliant , to which qualities is super- atlded a spirit of intense bravery and patriotism , which makes them invalu able , indeed indispensable , in the crisis through which Japan Is now passing. With ingenuity and deftness which , it eems to me , are unsurpassed by any other people , the Japanese have de vised apparatus and developed meth ods which centuries ago brought their fisheries to a very high degree of ef fectiveness ; but not content with this , they Lave within our own time super- mission to purchase its ships and supplies abroad. The one might force a reduction in the price of. certain products of American labor , but the other would cause demoralization in the price of American labor itself. If half that is said of the efficiency and quickness of the Jap coolies be true they would be dangerous competitors In the labor markets of this country. They can live a year on what would not keep an American family a month. And they are not content to remain inmenial employment , but rapidly perfect themselves in skilled labor and obtain high positions. There is no law to keep them out , and it is not likely that Uncle Sam , since Japan-has become so great a power .in the world , will care to inaugurate any policy of ex clusion. Just at present the Japanese government Itself has the matter under consideration. A special Japanese commission to investigate climatic and labor conditious on the isthmus and report upon the advisability of encouraging subjects of the Mikado to seek employment there has finished its Inquiry , but has not yet made its report. There are now between 7,000 and 8,000 government em ployes in the zone , but the number of Japanese among them is not given. So far the commissioners have depended chiefly upon the native and Jamaican negro , who is unsat isfactory. The gate is wide open to the Jap. Indianapolis Sun ? Tontine Insurance. Y the new law which has been adopted In France for the regulation of life insurance companies and associations , the writing of ton tine insurance Is apparently prohibited that is , it appears to be made impossible because an accounting of the profits , so far at least as French policy-holders are concerned , is made compulsory each year. There is not a little reason for believing that this is a proper precaution for the French government to take. Our own State has never justified tontine Insurance that is , it has not permitted companies inaugurated under its laws to issue policies of this kind , but it has not considered it advisable to prohibit com panies incorporated under the laws of other States from Issuing these policies through their Massachusetts agen cies. Tho ground taken by the State of Massachusetts in this prohibitory action has been that tontine Insurance was contrary to public policy , in that it was a species of gam bling where the gains went to those who were so for tunate as to live , and the losses to the estates of those who were so unfortunate as to die , or who were com pelled by adverse circumstances to permit their policies to lapse. Boston Herald. Why Germany Has No Tramps. 0-DAY the lot of the laboring man in Germany is In many respects better than that of ours. The German state recognizes the right of every man to live we do not. When the German laborer becomes old or feeble the state pensions him honorably. In Germany the laboring man can ride on the electric cars 'for two cents we pay five. German cities have public baths , public laundry establishments , big parks , free concerts and many other features which soften poverty although they may not re move it. The corollary to this is that the Emperor permits no tramps to terrorize his highways. The police is organized for rural patrol as well as city work , and every loafer is stopped and made to give an account of himself. In Eng land vagrancy has been a public nuisance for'generations with us it has become of late years almost a public danger. Germany has no tramps. The man who is without work In Germany finds no inducement to remain idle. A paternal government sets him to such hard work that the would-be unemployed finds it decidedly to his interest to seek some other employment as soon as possible. National Magazine. imposed upon and adapted to their own already well-nigh perfect fisheries all that is best and most useful in those of other countries , so that to-day fish ing with the Japanese is more than a mere industry it is almost a fine art. A striking feature of the Japanese fisheries , and one which might reason ably be expected in a people so frugal and ingenious , is the utilization of all kinds of water products which in the United 'States and in many European countries are wholly or largely neg lected. In the matter of eating aqua tic animals and plants the Japanese have few prejudices , and what they 'ttr * * * - * - * < L k5-Tr * GATHERING SEA-WEED. do not eat they utilize in other ways. As examples I may mention marine vegetables , and sharks , which are among the commonest and most whole some of the Japanese food-fishes. They arc sent to the markets in immense numbers , reach there in excellent con dition , and are butchered as beeves are in our country. I believe the time will come when we shall have attained that degree of civilization which will make fashionable th& eating of sharks , skates and similar fishes now gener ally discarded. Meanwhile many of us will be content to eat the so-callel "fresh fish" of our markets , albeit days and weeks old , reeking with put refactive bacteria , and kept "freslT by contact with melting ice when not ex posed to the air of a dirty stall. A branch of the fisheries in which Japan far surpasses all other coun tries as regards both extent and in genuity of method is the seaweed in dustry , in the United States , notwith standing our long coast line and sea weed resources , not inferior to Japan's , the annual crop of marine vegetables is Avorth only10,000 , whereas in Ja pan these products are worth not less than $2,000,000 , and are exceeded in value by only four animal products of the fisheries. Many kinds of algae are gathered and many uses are made of them. The local consumption is enormous , and large quantities of pre pared seaweeds are exported to China , Europe and elsewhere. Hugh M. Smith , in National Geographic Maga zine. Beaded Off by Eloquence. It is generally difficult to find room for humor on the "field of honor , " but the Washington Post succeeds in mak ing the connection in a story of Sena tor Blackburn of Kentucky. In the days of his youth Mr. Black burn was asked by a friend to second a duel. He consented , and at the next sunrise the parties met at the appoint ed place. It was Mr. Blackburn's duty to sny the last words concerning the terms of the duel. One of the Senator's col leagues recently said at a Washington dinner that although Mr. Blackburn faithfully performed the duty , the duel never took place. A murmur of "Why not ? " went round the table at this remark. "For a very simple reason , " con tinued Mr. Blackburn's colleague. "When Joe finished speaking it was too dark for a duel. " Explanation by Pa Henpeclc.

One reason we don't want an auto mobile is that we have been called everything else under the sun , and don't Intend to stand for being called chauffeur. Prejudice. The word "prejudice" comes from two Latin words , "pro" or "pre , " be forehand , and "judico , " I judge. There fore "prejudice" means the forming of an opinion beforehand or before knowledge. To form an opinion or de clare a judgment concerning any sub ject without or ignoring knowledge is "prejudice. " An opinion formed after a life-long acquaintance and experi ence and after thorough Investigation and study may be erroneous , but cun- not properly be styled "prejudice. " When the teaching and experiences of the world are disregarded , when the facts of history and science are ig nored or denied , the conclusions or opinions thus arrived at must not only be mistaken , but they must be the re sult of prejudice.
