THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
ELIZABETH cADY STANTON.
Death Of a Noted Woman Suffraeist
Who Revolutionized the Position of
Woman Before the Law.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the noted wo-
man suffraglst died at her home in New
York Sunday. The news of her death
came with crushing weight to her CO.
worker, Susan 3. Anthony, who was
planning to go to New York to celebrate
Mrs. Stanton's S7th birthday anniversary
on Nov. IL. Miss Anthony said in part
Mrs. Stanton was always a courageous
woman. leader of thought and new
movements. I always called her the
philosopher and statesman of our move
ment. She was most finished writer.
and every state paper presented to Con-
gress or the state Legislatures in the
early days was written by Mrs STAN
ton" Mrs. Stanton's husband was Henry
b. Stanton. a noteu lawyer and anti
slavary agitator. who was in full SYM
pathy with her work for women
Through her efforts in 1S4S a bill was
passed in the New York legislature Civ

life was happy. and six of her seven
children survive her one son and
daughter being prominent as authors

Ing Mrs. Stanton's work, said editorial
"; Before Mrs. Stanton there had
been no effective advocacy of the equal
ity of woman before the law in personal
and property rights, no persistent asser-
ton of her equal privilege with man
In whatever work or profession she
might choose no emphatic claim for her
equal title to the franchise. Mrs. Stan
ton has long been accorded the primacy
in the great movement which has revo-
lutionized the position of woman before
the law. and Is still advancing to the
full recognition and triumph of justice
between man and woman,-their co-or-
dinate participation in all the activities
of humanity. The detailed history of
this movement has been presented to the
world in a great work. of which she and
her constant friend of half a century's

Chased by a Panther.

Carl Bond of Searsburgh and his three
employees had a hard time one night re-
Gently. They had been followed several
times by two panthers that had hung
around the camp for the past four weeks
After leaving camp and proceeding about
half a mile they had to literally fight
the next mile and half every foot of
the way with only axes for defense
One of the beasts climbed n tree and
sprang into the path ahead of them less
than four feet from the men. They
struck at it with their axes but did not
succeed in hitting it. On reaching Ern-
est Suttons farm, catlike the panther
skunk into the alders 1t was a monster
in size and the four men will not soon
forget their adventure.

The Right Use of the Eyes.
Joseph Dana BARLEY in the Burlington
Free PresS.1

Why do so many school children and
stenographers wear glasses? The usual
answer is, because of much use of the
eyes in insufficient excessive or arti-
hcial light. This is a part of the truth,
but not all of IL. A lady in the post
Office department, Washington, once said:
Il have ruined my eyes in copying from
books and papers in a horizontal posi-
ton" In such position, the eye looks
at the page on a slant, and nothing is
In focus. If one bends over his work
for a vertical look at II. he at once
feels the rush of blood to the eyes,
and the consequent pain in eyes and
head.
The remedy is as simple as 1t is OBJ
vious. Every stenographer student.
bookkeeper and every other user of books
and papers should have his work sup
ported on a copy holder or book rest,
which holds 1t before instead of under his
eyes.

SHOTGUN
Prescriptions

We suppose we are not revealing
any trade secrets when we say
that many medicines are made up
on the principle of the so-called
shotgun prescriptions which
were formerly somewhat in vogue.
The idea Of the shotgun pre-
scriptions was to put into a medi-
cine a large number of different
drugs, each useful for different
purposes, in the hope that some
OF them might hit the case.
The most successful physicians
we know use a more direct method.
The medicine we sell over our own
name and guarantee does the same.
This medicine is called Vinol. 1t
is the best thing we know for run
down condition, for nerve troubles,
for lung troubles, for weak women,
pale children, and old people - in
fact, it is a safe, pleasant, reliable
tonic and reconstruction.
1t is not scattering "shot-gun
prescription" but it goes straight
to the mark, and has cured so
many people right here in town,
that it gives us confidence to
sell it on an absolute guarantee,
as follows: If you use a bottle and
it does not help you, we'll give
you your money back without a
word of complaint.
We could not afford to guarantee
it so boldly if we had not seen it
succeed in ninety-eight out of every
one hundred cases.

The recent census of Ireland shows
marked decrease in it's population,
which has been largely attributed to
the famine throughout the island, caus-

This brings to mind quite forcibly the

good food If We would prolong life, but
after all IL is not a question of the
amount eaten that makes the people
strong and healthy, but the way it is
