herself to reach such perfection OF
misery when there is absolutely no
need of it. The subject of our por-.
trait in this sketch, Mrs. Williams OF
Enplishtown, Nj, has been entirely
cured of such illness and misery by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and the guiding advice OF Mrs.
Pinkham of Lynn, Mass.
No other medicine has such a record
for absolute cures, and no other medi-
cine is "just as good" Women who
want cure should insist upon getting
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

Anyway, write letter to Mrs; Pink,
ham at Lynn, Mass, and tell her all
your troubles. Her advice is free.

The "NeedIe's Eye"

A lady writes to me and asks what
is really meant by the needles eye"
in the parable of the rich man. | re-
member reading somewhere that it was
the smallest gate that gave entrance
to the walled city of Jerusalem and
that q loaded camel had to be stripped
of it's burden and bend its knees to
squeeze through. And so rich man
had to give up his riches and come
to his knees before he could enter
heaven. 1t was just one of the thou
sand proverbs that adorned the moral
teachings of the Jews and the eastern
nations. The writings of Job and Solo,
mon and Confucius and Mohammed
abound in them.
In the Koran is found this proverb,
1.-THE impious man will find the gates
of heaven shut, and he can no more en-
ter than a camel can pass through a
needles eye" There is another in
the Koran which says. you will never
see palm tree of gold nor an elephant
pass through needles eye" These
proverbs simply meant that 1t was i'm
possible. Strange to say, the world
has long since quit making proverbs.
All proverbs have come down to us,
even such as "A rolling stone gathers
no moss" Poor Richard" left us a
few, such as "a penny saved Is two
pence gained."-Bill Arp in Atlanta

ANewspaper wonder.

When you open up your newspaper,
1t may cause you to feel some wonder
If you know that in all probability
yours are the first hands that have
ever touched it's inside pages. The
reason for this is that the paper is
made from wood pulp. The woodman
cuts down a spruce tree. 1t is hauled
to the mill. There machinery strips off
the bark, reduces the wood to pulp and
makes 1t into paper.
At every turn cranes, derricks,
chains, cogs, rollers, steel teeth and
other mechanical contrivances keep the
material out of human hands. The
immense rolls are wound by machines,
loaded into car and wagon by ma
chinery, put into pressroom and on
presses by other machinery and finally
printed and folded without having been
directly touched by any human hand.
This is a mechanical marvel of to-
day which is no doubt duplicated in
other branches of industry. 1t is very
striking in the newspaper industry,
which stands in the very front rank Of
mechanical perfection.-St. Louis Post
Dispatch.

Permitted Liquor Shipments in

Canadians have frequently claimed that
the Canadian government extended every
privilege to the shipper of American goods
through British territory, from the summit
of White Pass to the American side of the
Yukon, that Canadian shippers have from
Skagway to the International boundary
on the summit. This is emphatlcallv dis
puted by those who have asked the 0ppor-
tunity to enjoy those privileges, and good
proof is submitted by them to demonstrate
the truthfulness of their contention. For
instance. liquors can not be shipped from
SIX agwav to Eagle CITY under any circum-
stances, notwithstanding the fact that
Americans permitted Canadian liquors to

any such thing as bonded carrier from
