Indoor Photography.

To make a good portrait i'll the ordl-
nary room is quite a difficult task, as
all the light to be had comes through
the window and leaves the shadow side
Of the portrait underexposed. This can
somewhat be remedied by the use Of a
piece of white muslin about IL feet long
and about feet wide or more.
Stretch a string across the room par
allel with the window and fasten 1t to
a point about six feet from the window
and also six feet from the floor. Fas-en
the muslin over the top of the window
and throw the other end over the string,
allowing it to fall to the floor. This forms
a sort of one-half side of a tent, and
this somewhat confines the light and re-
fleets it on the shadow side of your OBJ
ject and helps to brighten and soften
the light In using curtains for back
ground place them back of the sitter as
far as the wall will allow, so as to pro-
duce soft effect Place the sitter about
three feet from the window and about
opposite the far side of the easement
Pull the window down from the top, and
perhaps it would be best to cover up the
lower part of the window with some
dark cloth Or paper Close all doors so
as not to have any draft, and then make
the exposure. j. A. Boos in New York

FIBROID TUMOR
Expelled by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
Interview With Mrs. y. A. Lombard.

have reason to think that I would
not be here now if it had not been for
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. 1t cured me of a fibroid tumor
in mywomb.
Doctors could do nothing for me, and
they could not cure me at the hospital.
1 will tell you about it,
1 had been in my usual health, but
had worked quite hard. When my
monthly period came on, flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the
flow must be stopped if possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was Fibroid Tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time a lady
called on me, and recommended Lydia
E. Pinkhall's Vegetable Compound,
said she owed her life to it. I
said l would try it, and did. Soon
after the flow became more natural and
regular. l still continued taking the
Compound for some time. Then the
doctor made an examination again,
and found everything all right. The
tumor had passed away and that dull
ache was gone.-MRs. B. A. LOMBARD,

An Eminent Specialists Offer.

Some people are always gong to the
doctors and are never well. a large
portion of their income goes for doc
tors advice and medicines that do no
good. The question of health is a vital
one; but the diseases that ruin lives
are the chronic nervous and blood com
plants that the local practitioner is
wholly unable to cope with. For all
such disorders, for all diseases arising
out of the blood and nerves, the RENE
dies discovered by DR.. Greene, of 81
Temple Place, Boston, Mass, one of
whose discoveries is the world famous
Nervura, provide the cure. These
remedies are so uniformly successful
that they demonstrate themselves to
be what they really are, the provision
made by nature for the cure of such
ills. This great specialist discovered
them after years of search and practice,
and they have brought health TO thous-
ands.
Dr. Greene charges nothing for con-
sultation and gives his advice, which
is the advice of his great experience
also, absolutely free. Every person,
rich or poor, is welcome to consult him,
either personally or by letters The
consultation inspires hope and the
treatment cures.

OCTOBER WEATHER.
Rheumatism Just Now to be
Feared.
People Catch Cold and Suffer with
the Prevalent Ma1ady.
MIR. S. E. Chase's Experience.-The Very
Simple Remedy He Used.

Rheumatism is growing more and more
prevalent here. And neuralgia adds its
tortues to the disease that is making life
burden to many in Bradford.
The cold, wet weather, the carelessness
about getting the feet wet, or perhaps
some indiscreton in the diet, result in the
agonizing rheumatism. One part of the
system is attacked after another, and
sometimes the vital organs yield to it, so
that the increased mortality rate of Octo-
Der is chiefly due to this disease and it's
complications.
The methods of treatment are as differ
ent and widely varying as there are physi-
ed that begins to equal the simple remedy
used by s. E. Chase, a well-knOwn q. A.
r. man of Waltham, Mass. He is an old
soldier, nearly seventy years of age, and
was all run down with chronic rheuma-
tism, liver complaint and heart disease.
In fact, he got pension for these trOub-
les He was so low that he thought he
could not live long. But he used vege-
table extract called Paine's celery COM
pound, which, as he puts it "did wonders
for me, and made me feel like new man. "
Mr.. Chase is doing all he can to spread
the good news of this compounds wonder
full efficacy in rhematism, neuralgia and
nervous diseases. He already has ten of
his friends using it, and says he can cure
any one. When such a simple prepare
ton as this is known, which appears to be
so reliable it is foolish for any one to suf-
fer long,

The wealthy proprietor OF Collie s IN

lust returned from college, around the
beautiful establishment with view to
interesting him i'll the business. AS
they passed from room to room he eX-
planned how each department was man
aged from the manufacture to the sale.
Lastly he took the young man to the
advertising department. and addressed
him in this fashion:
"Now, my son, you are young, while
| am growing old, and l have here laid
the foundation of a great advertisement
which in all human probability cannot
be used until 90 years hence. You will
notice that | have here collected about
l, 900, 900 photographs Of children who
have been reared on Coles food, and
have a staff of clerks whose sole duty 1T
is to keep track Of these children, watch
their development and keep their biog-
raphies up to date. To you this may
seem AN unwarranted expense, but l
think YOU will change your mind when
you grasp the magniticence OF my plan.

within 90 years one of these children
will become president Of the United

MEN BURN SPONTANEOUSLY

Medical Science Records Instances of the
Combustion of Flesh From Within.
When Dickens used so effectively the
spontaneous combustion of the human
body as climax for novel, he had
back of him great deal of evidence
that such miracle had actually taken
place.
In an article on 1.-THE Pathology of
Man." in the old French Encyclopedia
Methodique," D'Azyr gives the case of
a woman so years of age who had made
a practice Of going to bed drunk every
day for many years. Her bones were
finally found in the bed with the flesh
charred from them, as scientists sup
posed, by spontaneous combustion.
The somewhat similar case of Grace
Pitt is given in the transactions of the
English Royal society. She was the
wife of fishmonger who lived at Fps
witch, and she was found stretched on
the kitchen floor by her daughter, burn
ing, the girl said, without flames. "
Her body and legs resembled smoldering
Goals and when water was thrown on
her gave forth the odor of scorched
flesh, accompanied by a suffocating
smoke. The girl ran from the house and
called in the neignborsy VINO 'fs-rd
nothing but bones and charred flesh left
of the woman She, too, had been a
hard drinker
A third case, given in French essay,
is that of Nine. de Boiseon, 80 years
old, who lived near Dol. 1t is said
she was very lean and that for several
years she had drunk nothing but spirits.
Her waiting maid found her burning
in her room, the fire in her case, as in
the others, seeming to originate in the
flesh itself and not in the clothing.
Water thrown on her failed to check the
fire, and she burned until nothing but
her skeleton remained in the chair.
The chair itself was only slightly
scorched. New York World.
