ByTakiaa Dr. WHUmm1. ft s, Puts, r. f, General debility is a tent that coven m saaltitade of cases where there is no acate disease yet the patient contiuaes to lose strength and the doctor's rnedi. ciaes have no apparent effect. This is the decline that leads to death if means are aot found to check it. In a great auvjoriry of cases Dr. Williams Piuk Pills will check it and restore health and strength because they actually make new blood and so send renewed vitality to every organ and tissue of the body. mta. S. A. Green, whose address is Box 29, B. F. D. No. 4, Franklin, Ga., says: "For three and a half years 1 suffered with weakness and nervous ness, complicated with stomach trouble. At times I was confined to my bed for periods ranging from three weeks to twc mouths and was under the physician's care most of the time for three years. I do not know the cause of my trouble but I was prostrated with weakness and, al though I tookagreatdeal of medicine, nothiugseemedtogivemeEtreiigth. At times my stomach hurt me something fearful and my head often troubled me. I was sleepless and what sleep I did get did not refresh me. " When I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I weighed but 104 jtouuds. I knew I was so bad that a few doses would not cure me and I had patience. Soon the pills began to give niesrreiigth, my blood got in bettercondition, I could sleep wellatnightnndhelpsniue with the housework. Nov.-1 weigh 130 pounds and think nothing of walking half a mile.

Nowhere else, unless in America, Is education so universal as in Sweden. rJvery child must go to school be tween the ages of seven and 14, un less the parents can show that they are being privately educated. There are about twelve thousand common schools in Sweden, even the thinly populated districts having "ambula tory schools," held in various parts cf the district. When this is the case the school term is reduced to about half the ordinary duration. The Craftsman. Tolstoy's Latest Work. Count Tolstoy has completed a new work entitled: "The Divine Human."

' - fe-' V The great white plague leaves no nation 'on the earth untouched by its scourge' of death, and wide as the world is the fight which is being made upon this dread disease. On Novem ber 14 next there will meet in New York city, for a three days' session, the doctors and scientific men of both hemispheres who have entered the fight against this great destroyer, tu berculosis. Secretary Root, of the state depart ment, last May sent out a request to all the diplomatic officers of the Unit; ed States, asking them to reinforce the invitations delivered by the ex ecutive committee of the American International Congress on Tuberculo sis to the various nations to send offi cial representation to this next ses sion of the congress. In response to this communication the United States diplomats in this hemisplieie and in Europe have suc ceoded in enlisting the interest of medical and scientific men in what promises to be one of the greatest medico-sanitary campaigns of history. Responses daily received by Acting Secretary P-acon, in Washington, and by managers of the congress in New York indicate that Europe as well as South and Central America will be ably represented. , So vast and vital is the scope of this international conference that Scene in the New York State Open-Air Camp for the Treatment of Tuberculosis. every stage and symptom of the dread white plague will be discussed. New and powerful light will be thrown on many phases of the disease, and it is intended to enlighten the masses con cerning it Preventive legislation will be urged, also governmental and mu nicipal sanitariums throughout the hemisphere. Boards of health, state medical so cieties or medico-legal organizations in every state, count', province or colony will cooperate in the delibera tions. The methods of American physi cians in fighting this plague are recog nized as superior. A feature of the congress will be information regard ing a great number of special sani tariums and al fresco camps in this country. The model camp, known as Camp Piny Woods, in Sullivan coun- Dr. W. B. Moorehouse, cf Toronto, Can., Vice President at Large cf the Congress. ty. New York, will be studied; also Saranac Lake, the City of Last Hope, the Army Sanitarium for Consump tives at Fort Bayard, N. M., and other places where victories are being won over tuberculosis. Camp Piny Woods, near Liberty, a cheerful city of last hope, will be dis closed to the international congress as having biased the way for what is known as the fresh or open air treat ment It is maintained in its tented seclusion on the cooperative plan, and In its dozen years of existence it has recorded about 60 per cent of cures This is the largest yet known. It is also the nearest and most accessible, with Gen. Nealy in command. It is the only consumptive hospital, save Fort Bayard, under military govern ment in this country According to the formidable, tragic figures compiled by this American in ternational congress on tuberculosis, on the eve of the convention fully. 8,000.000 of 75.000,000 deaths at the present ratio in the United States are due directly to consumption one-sev enth of the human race dying from the same disease. Of 600.000 diag nosed consumptives now in this coun try it is estimated that 500,000 will not become dangerous as germ bear ers by short and passing use of a pa tient but by long and frequent use if sanitary precautions are ignored. This should be emphasized to guard against an unnecessary and disturb ing panic among the masses. "Next to such dwellings, special sanitariums, under certain conditions, form the greatest danger for the ag gravation and dissemination of con sumption. Thousands of patients, en joying many hygienic advantages at home, are bandied off to sanitariums aaa return in a miserable condition, or aot at all. Experience teaches that the older a saaitariam the More aaa- s;yI$&3S; ibnsnsnsnsnsnsBnmV assasssal I BasasasasasasasasaswnRasf V ultimately succumb. Were we at war with 600,000 soldiers in the field, of whom five-sixths would perish in two or three years from contagious disease? press, pulpit and public would com bine in demanding that prompt reme dial measures be taken in' the prem ises. Pending the arrival of the 1,200 scl entsits to attend the congress several most distinguished ones have com municated -with the committee on printing and preparations, setting forth at greater or less length their Investigations and important conclu sions as to the preventives, .causes and cures of this sinister foe of man. Among those papers received and now ready for distribution when the con gress convenes is one by Dr. Moritz Benedikt, of Vienna, Austria. He says: "If we inquire into the condi tions and opportunities of the danger of infection we first meet the question of habitation. The abode of the popu lace the home of misery is the most important breeding place of consump tion. Of course, in these dwellings thorough ventilation, sunshine and sanitation are out of consideration. The poison of disease breeds in the filth which fills the air and which sticks and accumulates on the walls, on the floor, on the furniture, the linen and human bodies. Stress must be laid on the fact that dwellings will gerous it is for patients, attendants and the community in'wihchit is lo cated. ' "That even in lunatic asylums even in the luxuriously0 appointed English and American institutions tubercu losis may make its appearance as an epidemic has been observed with hor ror by my foreign colleagues. "As for the poison germ itself, it appears to me that the attempts of Koch to infuse cattle with human tuberculosis m failed because he used virus not thoroughly fermented or not fully putrefied. If he had taken a cow into the sick chamber in one of oui sanitariums known for its infectinm character, left her there for a time and permitted her to lick the soiled beds, linen and body of the deceased he might have had a better success Whether the vehicles or the microbes or both, undergo a change therein is not as yet known, nor has the question as yet been seriously entertained. "The increase of physical, intellec tual and moral degeneration in mod ern times raises the question as tc what best measures may be adopted to prevent hereditary consumption. The United States has proceeded in this with great energy, which Is not surprising. The senile trend charac terizing many European conditions is wanting in that virile empire of ln- itiation. The law of Michigan is most vigorous against the perils of hered ity. It enacts that all lunatics, epilep tics and thrice convicted criminals must be emasculated before leaving the hospitals. Besides this many states forbid Infected patients marry ing, and Indiana includes in this cate gory sufferers from tuberculosis. I pray devoutly, in conclusion, that your congress urge the necessity nt m.ti legislation and governmental super vision of consumptives as may at least tend to prevent the United States fall ing to the level of Europe." Burbank Tires of Visitors. Luther Burbank, the eminent cre ator of new fruits and flowers, lives in Santa Rosa, Cal., where he is being flooded with visitors constantly. In the year 1905 more than 6,000 persons called to see"him, hordes of them be; ing mere curiosity seekers primed' with all manner of foolish questions. At length Mr. Burbank was compelled to put up,a number of signboards with the customary warning, "Private grounds. Trespassers will be prose cuted." These have brought a consid erable measure of relief from the in tolerable annoyance. Limbless Editor in Prison. Sergei Nicolaievitch Mendelson, a Russian journalist and political pris oner, lost both his arms and legs in an accident at Odessa. With rare de-" termination he learned to write by holding the penholder between his teeth. Removing to St Petersburg, he started an artvanrawi ni)i.i paper. A few months ago the paper I was suppressed and the armless and legless editor-imprisoned. His utter ly helpless condition left him abso lutely at the mercy of the brutal pris on wardens. His punishment has now been commuted to close arrest in his own house. Alike, But Different "My love for you," said Spoonlcigh, "is like this ring. It has no end ing." "And my love for you," mur mured the maiden, "is also like that ring." . "Ah, darling" he began, but she finished her sentence: "It has no beginning, yon see." With a cry of aaguisa, he fled into the Bight Clevelaad Leader. .Aik 535-f 5U- . kJjl?-Z. 1 iTarrfMa Scaly Humor in Patens AM. Over the Bsay Sltiw Cracked ani Blssdins-Cwad. by Ci-tlctfra.

That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse' on my arms and limbs, although it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp.

WHAT BECAME OF OLD GLASSES? Mother's Effort to Check Child's Curi osity Proves Futile. A Boston three-year-old, like Mr. Kipling's elephant's .child is distin guished by her "insatiable curiosity." Better and embarrassing experiences have led her long-suffering mother to recognize this fact Accordingly, when accidents in the kitchen and the expectation of guests to dine, rendered the purchase of new water glasses necessary, Mrs. S took her daughter into her confidence. "Sarah," she said, "these are new glasses. I bought them at Stearns' yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Robert drove me over to the shop with Jim and the runabout Robert wore his 'butternut' livery and his brown derby. I paid six dollars for the glasses, and had them sent. Now you know all about them, and I positively forbid you to ask a single question about them when you see them on the table." Sarah wore a subdued look during the process of the meal, and Mrs. S was beginning to congratulate herself upon the effectiveness of her lesson, when an eager and interested expression came into Sarah's face, and she piped in her shrill but engaging voice: "Mother, what did you do with the old glasses?" Farewell of Noted Players. Macready's farewell benefit was at the Theater Royal in 1851, but he was not buried at Kendal Green until May 3, 1873. Charles Kean's last appear ance on the stage was at the Prince, of Wales theater, Liverpool, on May 29, 1867. John Kemble's farewell to the stage was in "Coriolanus," June 23, 1817. Mrs. giddon's farewell was as Lady Macbeth in 1812. Miss Cush man's farewell benefit was at Booth's theater, November 7. 1874. Saved Many from Drowning.

How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an. injuri ous or objectionable nature, and if at anytime a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputa ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to. act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste ; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed' on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles, of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects.
