nirth Of the Elements.

It is an old question, Are the seven
ty odd chemical elements really ele-
mentary. or are they compounded OF
something still more elementary" In
the light Of the recent discoveries about
radium Professor +. w. Clarke recurs
to a theory, advocated by him many
years ago. that as the planets were
evolved out of the original nebula which
gave birth to the solar system the
chemical elements themselves were also
evolved out Of something far less COM
plex than themselves. The fact that
existing nebulie are very simple III
composition, while stars in various
stages of evolution exhibit more and
more complexity, until, in solidited
bodies. like the earth, a great number
of chemical elements with Il myriad OF
compounds are found, is regarded as
strongly supporting this theory. The
phenomena Of radium lead to the addi-
tional suggestion that in the develop
ment of the heavenly bodies we seem
TO see the growth of the elements, so IN
radio activity we witness their decay

 T1--lHEN Miss Rose Owens, who @ has a responsible position in
 " the Governm ent service at
 MEashineton. D. C., decided to try Wine of Cardui, she made a wise choice. Over a million women have been relieved of female weakness by this same Wine of Cardui. It is not strong medicine but may be taken every day in the year by any woman with benefit. It does not force results, but corrects Arrangements of the menstrual organs. It strengthens the nervous system, gives tone to the bodily func- tions, acts directly on the genital organs, and is the finest tonic for wo- men known to the science of medicine.
