MiddleSex, y. Y, July 25.-(Special.)
That Rheumatism can be cured has
been proved beyond a doubt by Mrs.
Betsey A. Clawson. well known here.
That Mrs. ClawsOn had Rheumatism
and had IL bad, all her acquaintance

cured. DOdd's Kidney Pills did IL. Mrs.
Clawson tells the story OF her cure as
follows:
II was an invalid for most five years
caused by InfiammatOry Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds OF the time. The
first year l could not do as much as a
baby could do; then l rallied a little bit
and then a relapse. Then a year ago

Nine out OF ten ailments first show
themselves in constipation. Natures
warning, il left unheeded, means serious
chronic trouble later on. Medical Stats
tics show that a greater number Of people
suffer from constipation than from all
other diseases combined. a great talk Is
made about consumption. but il the truth
were known, constipation kills more peo-
pie than consumption. Within the last
few years a medicine has been discovered
and made known to the American people,
OF such merit in curing constipation and
its consequences that now over ten mill
lon boxes Of CASCARETS are sold
every year, the greatest sale ever at
tanned by any one medicine in the world.
and this is the strongest proof that it is
the best and will do all and more than
claimed. IL you are a sufferer you are
not doing right by yourself or your fam
lily IL you fail to give CASCARETS a
trial, and right here we want TO warn
you to get the genuine, because all great
successes breed limitations. The genuine

RACE SUICIDE.
II Seems Prevalent Among the Poor
Also.

Attention is called by Harper's
Weekly To a curiously interesting re-
port on social conditions in Australia,
recently made by a royal commission
appointed for the purpose by the gov
eminent of New South Wales. The
most important fact discovered by the
commissioners seems TO be that in this
new country, where a large birth rate
might be expected, not only Is the rate
extremely small and growing smaller,
but the mortality among the children
born is alarmingly high. And this
mortality is in no sense or degree a
result of climatic or other causes that
might be called natural and inevitable.
Il Is ascribed. in plain words, to a
combination of neglect and the use OF
artificial foods, so that the common
justification for the restriction of
families-that the few children may
receive better care than could be
given TO many-falls there to the level
of a mere pretense. The commission
ers strongly suggest that a close rela-
ton exists between this deplorable
state of affairs and the fact that in Aus
tralia more than anywhere else is the
conduct Of life for the masses in
fiuenced by the distinctive principles
Of labor unionism, and especially by
those which emphasize the supreme
importance of the present comfort and
pleasure of the individual. Nowhere
else do frequent holidays and short
hours of work give so much leisure for
sports and amusements, and TO these
as a sort of business a large number of
people devote a surprising part of their

A Piano at a Nominal Price.

Chicago's largest music house, Lyon
& Healy, announces a Clearing Sale of
Pianos. Several hundred splendid in
strUments are offered without reserve
until all are sold In this stock are a
number of Steinway and Knabe
pianos, and new and secondhand
pianos including instruments of the
following well-known makes: Sterling,
Huntington, A. B. Chase, Vose,
Fischer, Weber, Chickering, G. w.
Lyon, etc, etc. In square pianos there
are fine-toned instruments at $25, $40,
$50, and upwards. In Upright Pianos
neat instruments at 500. $3.50, $40,
$3.50, $165, $3.50, 5000, and upwards.
In Baby. Grands some nice specimens
at $3.50 and upwards. Nearly all these
pianos were intended TO sell for much
more than these clearing sale prices.
This is an opportunity that will not
occur again. Immediate attention is
therefore necessary. A good plan
would be to order a piano at a certain
specified price, leaving the selection
Of 1t to Lyon e. Healy. However, they
will send list and full particulars
upon application. Any piano not prov
ing entirely satisfactory may be re-
turned at their expense. Address
Lyon G. Healy, 81 Adams ST., Chicago.
Distance is no obstacle in taking adj
vantage of this remarkable chance to
obtain a piano, for in proportion to the
saving to be made the freight charges
are Insignificant. If you do not al
ready know Lyon & Healy by repUta-
tion any banker will assure you of
their entire responsibility and record
OF over a third of a century for honor
able dealing. Write to-day so as to
avoid disappointment.

Why Bate Never Smokes.

Senator Bate of Tennessee is a pas
lover of tobacco, yet the cigar
he carries in his mouth is always un-
lighted. He explains it in this way:
1t seems that during the war Senator
(then GeneraD Bate was riding by the
side of his brother during a battle. He
felt the longing for a smoke coming on
and so he drew a finely favored Hava-
ma from his pocket. He scratched
match against the saddle and was
just about to light a weed, when a
shell whizzed suddenly by and the
quick rush of air accompanying the
shell pUt the match out He was about
10 strike another, when, turning he
discovered that the shell had made its
mark, for there lay the dead body of
his brother. To this day he has a sort
of superstition regarding lighted
cigars, and this explains why he only
INDUCES in dry" smoke.

To Lessen the Smoke Nuisance.

Prevention of the smoke which pours
out of chimneys at each firing up" is
made practicable by a recent simple
invention attached to the door OF the
nrebox. Opening the door to add fuel
moves a lever raising a weighted pis-
ton in an auxiliary steam cylinder, al
lowing steam to be sprayed into the
furnace. 1t also allows air to pass
from the ashpit up over the top OF the
fire, thus giving both steam and heated
air to assist in burning the gases COM
ing from the fresh coal. The dropping
of the piston, slowly falling of its own
weight, gradually shuts off both steam
and air openings, so that when the
combustion of the smoke from the
fresh coal is completed the draft is
suited to the depth Of fire under ordi-
nary conditions.

Welding With Aluminium.

Thermit welding, a new process in
vented in Germany, based on the in
tense heat produced by the combustion
of aluminium, promises to make per-
fectly easy the performance of opera
tons heretofore possible only by aid
of the electric furnace, and still others
to which the electric furnace cannot
be conveniently applied. "Thermit"-
literally translated, with heats the
name applied by its inventor to a mix
ture of aluminium and oxide of iron
in a granular state and in chemical
proportion. This mixture cannot be
ignited by ordinary means. 1t may be
stirred with a red hot bar of iron OF
thrown into a fire, or molten cast iron
fay be poured on it without causing
ignition. But If even a small portion
of the mixture be raised to a tempera-
ture nearly approaching that of molten
steel the chemical affinity of the alu-
minium for the oxygen contained in
the ferric oxide is powerfully devel-
oped, with the result that metallic idon
and oxide of aluminium are produced,
the conversion being attained at a heat
of 5000 degrees centigrade. Joints
mad ewith thermit are far sitter than
those made in the usual manner, ac-
cording to tests made in Europe, and
in the construction of trolley lines
prove perfect electrical conductors and
give a rail joint smoother than hereto

time. II is admitted that the dwind-
ling birth rate is not a direct result Of
the labor legislation that has been car
ried so far in Australia, but they are
both ascribed TO the same cause.-The
desire to seek pleasure and avoid pain
as the root of all evil, a concept of life
which finds the aim OF life in self
indulgence and not in duty" The pos
sibility that the Acknowledgement Of
Australian women may have had some
thing TO do with the phenomena noted
is also suggested. The report Is like
ly to cause much discussion, but its
conclusions, tentative and other, will
be strongly attacked. If the Australians
have gone further than the rest of the
world in the direction of the intellect
ual selfshness which makes the indi-
vidual instead of the family or the COM
munity the social unit, they are not for
that reason different from the rest or
the world, and If worse, they are so
only in degree. II is at least possible
that hard times" have had a good deal
to do with the Australian birth rate,
and as for infant foods"-well. sew
eral packages of such substitutes for
the maternal fount are sold annually in
countries which are not common
wealths wholly built up on the amalga-
nation of the great labor unions and
the vote of the workingman."
