To Preserve Historic Spot.

Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton have started a movement to ac-
quire possession of the site of Fort
Massac, the location of the Oldest
white settlement in Illinois. The
property, which is on the Ohio river
in Massac county, is owned by Judge
Green. of Cairo, and he has offered
to give it to the association provided
it is able to secure the necessary state
or national aid in permanently caring
for the historic place. 1t is proposed
to lay out a park and otherwise mark
it as a great strategic point in the
history of the country.

Tie torrent rushes with frenzied might
To rest on the quiet plain;
The avalanche roars in its downward
flight
Then a century sleeps again.

Ger the dome of a brassy sky,
At last must droop to the pines that cling
To the crest of TIE mountain hlgh.

The sorrow and doubts that reno,

And fearful the headlong flight,

GIVES VITALITY, VIG0R AND STRENGTH
TO DEBILlTATED AND RUNDOWN
WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distin-
guished writers that the greatness of a
nation depends much upon the physl-
cal condition of its women. The gen
eral conditions which contribute to
health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal ex-
haustion of those powers by which
life is maintained. While we assert
that the women of our land stand
peerless for beauty and the virtues
that make them lovable, we cannot
hide the fact that there are thousands
In our midst who, owing to overwork,
worry, household cares, and an un-
equal exhaustion Of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and
debilitated.
We bring to the attention Of all
weary, despondent, hopeless, and
sickly women earth's greatest rescuer
and health builder, Paine's Celery
Compound. Thousands of healthy
women around us owe their present
vigor, activity, and robustness to
Paine's Celery Compound. Mrs. Ste
