Great Mems Mothers.

A recent issue Of a monthly publica-
ton entirely devoted to literature con-
tains the portraits Of three famous
mothers, that is, Of three women made
famous by their ons. These are Mrs.
Carlyle, Mrs. Hardy and Mrs. Spencer.
1t is curious, says the Ladies' Pictorial,
that there is always more interest at
taching to the mothers Of men of dis
tinction than to their sires, even II
they have been men of some mark. 1t
is said that most men who achieve
greatness inherit their ability from
their mothers, and it is noteworthy
that nearly all distinguished men have
been greatly attached to their mothers.
One can never forget the Poet Gray's
exquisite epitaph on his mother, or Mr..
J.. NJ. Barrie's tender and beautiful
tribute to his mothers memory.

uer of that State-and he is also an
officer of the National angels a
very enthusiastic advocate road i'm

said:
THE development and prosperity
of any State or nation depend in
some degree upon the transportation
facilities provided; and such facilities
include not only our rivers and har-
bors and our great railway and steam
boat companies, but also the highways
over which all u products and all
our people are transported.
1.-THE important matter now before
the friends Of good roads is to arouse
the people to a realization OF their re-
sponsibility in securing favorable Stare
and National legislation OF the sub
ject. The small p%ittance appropriated
for the use of the Good Roads Bureau
of the Department of Agriculture is
entirely out Of proportion to the money
appropriated for other objects of a
public nature when their relative i'm
p~ortance is considered.
another important matter is the
construction Of roads adapted to the
needs of travel over them. Much

people would warrant and demand.
Costly stone roads are economical up.
on portions of our highways, but we
must not overlook the fact that there
is a vast mileage of roads that could
be permanently improved by the judi
cious expenditure of a comparatively
small sum of money per mile. We
should give due prominence to this
fact in considering the matter from a
State or National standpoint.
LAS an official of the National
Grange, I desire to say a word for the
farmers Of the country in regard to
National aid for road building. The
farmers have been loyal to the inter
ests of the nation in every emergency
in the past. They have contributed
their full share in proportion to their
wealth to the revenues for the support
Of the Government. The ablest states.
men and most successful business
men, contributing to the development
and prosperity of the country, point
to the farms as their birthplace.
When u country has been in danger,
the farmer boys have responded nobly
to her defense. We have uncomplain-
ingly contributed our share to tho
enormous expenditures of the National
Government for river and harbor i'm
provements, the construction of can.
ais and the erection Of costly build.
ings in our great cities, and we do not
regret it. We now ask in the name
Of justice that National aid be granted
for the improvement Of highways.
This involves the establishment Of no
new policy, but the extension of the
former one. We ask the loyal support
Of those who have been benefited by
our contribution to other public mat
tiers to which I have referred. I be-
lieve the farmers Of the nation, repre-.
senting more than a third Of our pop
ulation, are practically unanimous in
favor Of such q movement and will
give if their UNQUALIFIED support"

NINE. JANAUSCHEk.
Famous Actress Who Played in Ger
man.

With the death of Nine Fanny ia
nauschek there passed from the circle
Of the living one of the most peculiar
figures of the dramatic stage Of the
past half century.
In some respects she was unique
The English speaking stage knew no
other quite like her. Born in Bohe
mia nearly seventy-fiye years ago, she
had her training and her shaping dra
matte experience while what is known
as the "old school, of acting yet held
possession of the stage, and she mad
won marked distinction on the German
stage before she made her first ap
pearance in America thirty-seven
years ago.
She played here in some of the clas-
sizes of German drama, at that time
using the German tongue only, when
playing in a foreign tongue before
American audiences was yet a com
paratcvely new thing. Yet, despite
that handicap, and others also, she
made marked impression as an act
ress Of rather masculine type but OF
Undoubted force.
Two or tire years later she reap
peared in this country and made ner
home here, taking up her professional
work this time in English and playing
in a number of the standard English
dramas, and was a conspicuous figure
on the American stage for nearly TWEEN
ty years.
Unfortunately for her, her career in
this country was coincident with the
marked change in theatrical taste
which deposed the "old school" in fav-
or OF what was and is known as the
natural school," which, in practice,
goes near to meaning the fitting Of
plays to actors instead of the older
theory of the actor bending his individ-
Uality to fit the play and the character
created by the dramatist. To the
younger generation of theatergoers
she therefore fell under the imputa-
ton Of staginess, but she rarely fail
ed to make her native force felt and
acknowledged.
For ten years or more she has not
been regularly seen on the stage, and
has been known to the public more
through reports of her poverty and
misfortune than her artistic accom-
pliShment. Nine. Janauschek was
without the inestimable advantage, for
an actress, of feminine beauty She
had passed her plastic years before
she came to America She under
took, in her maturity, to learn a new
language and could ne7er wholly con-
quer it's difficulties; yet, despite these
heavy handicaps, and in the teeth of
strong rivalry by many with the adj
vantages of youth, beauty and birth
to the language, she forced her way
to the front rank in new tongue anu
before people alien to her and grown
away from her artistic school by the
histrionic genius, and held a leading
place for years, until the infirmities,
physical and temperamental, of ad-
vancing age compelled her retirement.
The annals of the stage probably do
rot furnish another parallel case nor
more striking or pathetic example of
| how soon the most hard-won theatrical
| fame fades into little more than a
vague tradition.

Ills, and to Insure against a return
of them?
Not so very much.
One 10 cent box of Cascarets
per week, at most, perhaps half that. !
One Candy tablet night and
morning, taken regularly for a short
time, is warranted to cure the worst
case of Constipation or Indigestion
that walks the earth.
1t is Guaranteed to Cure, or
Money refunded.
One tablet taken whenever you
suspect you need it will insure you
against 80 per cent of all other ills
likely to attack you.
Because 90 per cent Of these ills
begin in the Bowels, or exist through
poor Nutrition.
Cascarets don't purge, don't
weaken, don't irritate, nor upset
your stomach.
They don't act like Cathartics
that flush out the bowels with waste
of precious Digestive Juice, needed
for tomorrow's Bowel-work.
No,-they act like Exercise,
on the Bowels, instead.
They stimulate the Bowel Muscles
TO contract and propel the Food
naturally past the little valves that
mix Digestive Juices with Food.
They strengthen these Bowel
Muscles by exercising them. y
This stronger action, producing
greater nutrition from food, brings
back to the Bowel Muscles greater
- strength for self-operation.
IL The Bowel Muscles can thus.
in a short time, dispense with any
Al Drug assistance whatever.
III This is why the dose Of Cas-
carets can be lessened from time
to time instead of increased as
with all Cathartics, and Laxatives.
Gill which act as MASTERS of Digestive
. Juices.
The time to take a Cascaret
Is the very minute you suspect
you need one.
When your Tongue is coated
little.
When your Breath is not above
suspicion.
When your head feels dull,
dizzy, or achy.
When you have eaten too
heartily, or too rapidly.
When you have drank more
than was good for your digestion.
When you have touch Of
Heartburn, Cas-belching, Acid-rising-
in-throat, or a Coming-on-Cold.
These are all sure signs of Bowel
trouble that should be checked on
first appearance.
One "Cascaret" will do it.
