The
Cruel Knife!

The alarming increase in the number
of deaths which occur as the result of q
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and a strong sentiment
against such methods Of treatment Is
fast developing among the most intelli-
gent classes. It seems that In almost
every case for which the doctors treat
ment Is unsuccessful, the learned physi-
clans decide at once that an operation
must be performed, and the keen blade
of the surgeon Is recklessly resorted to.
Doctors are human, and of course are
liable to make mistakes, but their mis-
takes are too fatal to be INDUCED In
promiscuously, and as 80 many lives are
saorificed in this manner, it is but natural
for the public to believe that half the
operations are unnecessary, besides be-
ing fearful risk to human life, even If
successful.
It is a positive fact, however, that all
operations are not necessary, and that a
majority of them are absolutely under
taken without the slightest chance of
success. The doctors have never been
able to cure blood disease, and q sur
pical operation Is their only method OF
treating deep-seated cases, such as can
Ger and scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, an operation
never did and never will cure cancer, as
the disease never fails to return. Cam
Ger is in the blood, and common sense
teaches anyone that no disease can be
cut from the blood.

MATCHES.

Wax matches are employed in Europe
to an extent vastly greater than in this
country.
An average of eight matches for each
man, woman and child is used in the
United States daily.
The body Of wax match Is made by
drawing cotton strands, 20 or 80 at time,
through melted stearin
1t costs more to strike match In France
than In any other civilized country, be-
cause the business Is monopolized by the
government.
Sweden is the greatest match producing
country in the world, although the indus
try Is conducted on an enormous scale In
the United States and elsewhere.
The safety match was invented by a
Swede named Lundstrom In 1866. The
head Of the safety match contains ohlorate
of potash and sulphur, while the friction
paper on the box Is spread with paste of
amorphous phosphorus and anthony.

In the search for truth no aid is so
effective as the ever ready spirit Of ao-
tivity. He who postpones putting what
he knows into practice until he knows
more will find his journey a long and
discouraging one. Carlyle well says:
Conviction, were it never so excellent,
is worthless till it converts itself into
conduct. Nay, properly conviction is
not possible till then, inasmuch as all
speculation is bye nature endless and
formless. Most true is 1t, as wise man
teaches us, that, Doubt Of any sort can
not be removed except by action. On
which ground, too, let him who gropea
painfully in darkness or uncertain light
and prays vehemently that the dawn
may ripen into day, lay this other pre-
oept we'll to heart, which to me was Of
invaluable service, DO the duty which
lies nearest to thee, which thou know
est to be duty. The second duty will
already have become clearer.

Enormous Lifting Power.

The shelless limpet pulls 1884 times
its own weight when in the air and
about double when measured in the wa
ter. Fleas pull l,493 times their own
dead weight. The Mediterranean cookie,
Venus verrucosa, can exert a pulling
power equal to 2,07l times the weight
Of its own body. So great is the power
possessed by the oyster that to open it a
force equal to 1919. 8 times the weight
Of its shelless body 10 required. IF the
human being possessed strength as great
in proportion as that Of these shellflsh,
the average man would be able to lift
the enormous weight of acre, 600
pounds, pulling in the same degree as
the limpet. And if the man pulled in
the same proportionate degree-as-et331e
cookie he would sustain weight Of no
less than S,106, 500 pounds. -Worthing-

Back from the Grave

we cannot come, but we can often stay our
progress thither. Disease, like everything
else, must have beginning. All chronic
maladies tend to shorten life, and render 1t a
species of martyrdOm while they last. Ma
laria, kidney complaint, chronic indigestion,
rheumatism-all have small beginnings, and
may be stayed at the outset with Hostetter' s
Stomach Bitters. This excellent tonic and
Alternative is adapted alike to the prevention
of disorders of the system and to their re-
moval, and its early use cannot be too
strongly advocated. To renew appetite and
insure tranquil rest, there is no surer and
pleasanter means than the BitteIs. The
effects of overwork and exhaustion, me ntal
or physical, are counteracted by it, and the
busy merchant, the tired clerk or operative,
and the brain weary student, author or
newspaper man, derive from 1t present re.
lief and future energy.

Making Love UP a Tree.

Billing and cooling among the Fijians

to do any counting within doors The
gardens or plantations are the spots held
sacred to Cupid, and the generally ap-
proved trysting place of lovers is high
up among the branches Of breadfruit
tree.
You may often walk around planta-
tion on moonlight night and see
couples perched 40 feet from the ground
in the breadfruit trees, one on each side
of the trunk, position which comes
fairly within the limits Of Fijian
maiden's ideas of modesty.

Here is case where the pain inflicted
on a six-year-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing the fortunes
produced by the surgeons knife he rap
idly grew worse. Mr.. ]. N. Murdoch
the father of the boy, residing at z79
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes:
"When my son, Will, was SIX years
old, small sore appeared on his lipA
which did not yield to the usual treat
ment, but before long began to grow. It
gave him great deal of pain, and con-
tinued to spread. He was treated by
several good doctors, who said he had
cancer, and advised that an operation
was necessary.
"After much reluctance, we consented,
and they cut down to the jaw bone,
which they scraped. The operation was
a severe one, but thought it was the
only hope for my boy. Before great
while the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave him many REM
edies without relief, and finally upon the
advice of friend, decided to try SIS.

bottle he began to improve. After twenty
bottles had been taken, the cancer dis
appeared entirely and he was cured.

According to celebrated anatomist there

According to celebrated anatomist there
are upwards of 100000 little glands in
the human stomach. These glands pour
out the digestive juices which dessolve OF
digest the food. Indigestion is want OF
juice, weakness of glands, need of help to
restore the health of these organs. The
best and most natural help is that given by
Shaker Digestive Cordial. Natural, because
it supplies the materials nseded by the
glands to prepare the digestive juices. Be-
cause 1t strengthens and invigorates the
glands and the stomach, until they are able
to do their work alone. Shaker Digestive
Cordial cures indigestion certainly and
permanently. 1t does so by natural means,
and therein lies the secret of its wonderful
and UNMARRIED success.

and brother Of their late interesting
visit to the monastery, tried by every
means in her power to effect an entrance

to allow her to do so, and to take her
with him on his next visit.
On arriving at the gates Of the mon
astery she entered unohallenged with
the remainder Of the party, but while
in the garden the conducting monk,
leaving her side, gathered an exquisite
rose, which he brought and presented
to her with courtly bow, proving that
he at least was not deceived by her dis
guise. She, too, foolishly betrayed her.
self by her ready grace and charm of
manner in accepting the rose, which she
did most willingly. Needless to say
that after this incident she never pene-
trated into the interior of the building
nor saw what she was dying to see, but
returned unsatisfied, sadder and q
wiser woman, with a high appreciation,
however, of the keen discernment of the
cloistered ones.
