DEAR MRS. PINKHAM IL am one
of the many of your grateful friends
who have been cured through the use
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, and who can to-day
thank you for the fine health enjoy.
When l was thirty-fve years old, I
suffered severe backache and frequent
bearing-down pains; in fact, I had
womb trouble l was very anxious to
get well, and reading of the cures your
Compound had made, I decided to try
it. took only six bottles, but it built me
up andcured me entirely of my troubles.
"My family and relatives were
naturally as gratified as I was. My
niece had heart trouble and nervous
prostration, and was considered incur
able. She took your Vegetable Com
pound and it cured her in short time,
and she became we'll and strong, and
her home to her great Joy and her hus-
bands delight was blessed with baby.
I know of a number of others who
have been cured of different kinds of
female trouble, and am satisfied that
your Compound is the best medicine
for sick women."-M MRS. ELIZABETH 81.

Thibet is the most astounding event

For 1000 years Lhassa has been the

The lamas fought the British adj
vance foot by foot all the way through
the narrow passes IN the Himalayas.

the British troops to turn back and
not set foot within the precincts Of
their sacred city. They appealed to
Col. lounghusband, the British com-
missioner, to stop short Of .Lhassa.

sa. He promised that none of tho
British would enter the munasteries ii
they were not fired upon from them.
and that they would leave Lhassa as
soon as the treaty is signed.

Washington, Aug. S:-The Euro

visers are of the opinion that the sui

Smyrna will be seized and held until
all questions in dispute are settled.

drawn-out dispute with Turkey, which
is now becoming acute. Turkey is not
giving American schools and missions

CHILDREN MEET SAD FATE
SEVEN DROWNED IN MIssIssIP.
PI RIVER WHILE BATHING.
Man Who Had Them in Charge Per-
ishes Also-Little Survi-
vor'S Story.

alton, ILL.,, Aug. 6.-While bathing In
Che Mississippi river Friday night,
Nicheal Riley, his daughter, and six Of
the latter's little girl friends were
drowned. One child, who was in the
party, was rescued.
The dead are:
Michael Riley, 80 years old.
Elizabeth Riley, II years old.
Allie Syner, IA years old.
Lucy Pates, s years old.
Lizzie Pates, IA years old.
Bessie Brum, IA years old.
Myrie Brum, 10 years old.
Ruth Marshall, 12 years old. t,
Riley lived near the river in the south
ern part of the city and was accustomed
TO bathe on the beach in front of his home
after mis- return from work. Friday night
his little daughter begged to go with him
and Riley took her and seven of her lit
tie girl friends to the beach with him.
When they entered the water Riley bade
the children join hands and they all
waded into the river and walked along
sand-bar which stretches out into the
Etream at that point.
They had gone some distance from the
shore When suddenly the whole party
disappeared beneath the water having in
the darkness stepped from the sand-bar
into the deep channel. The children
struggled and screamed, fighting desper-
ately to reach the sand bar, where the
water was only foot or so in depth.
Riley, who is said to have been a good
swimmer, is thought to have been made
helpless by the girls clinging to him and
hamperlng his efforts to save them,
The only one in the party to regain
the sand bar was Mary Timiny, eight
years old The child is unable OF tell
now she saved herself, beyond the
statement that Il snatched my hand
loose from the grasp of the little girl
next to me, and soon found that
could stand up and that the water
only came TO my knees" The beach
where the accident occurred is prac-
tically deserted after nightfall, and
the screams of the little Timiny girl
1alicd to attract anyone to the scene.
After Riley and her playmates had
disappeared beneath the water, the
child ran from the beach and reached
her home screaming at the top of her
lungs. She was SO hysterical that it
was some time before her parents
could gather an account of what had
occurred. Immediately Mr. Timiny
organized rescue party, but when
they reached the beach there was 40
sign of Riley and the seven little
girls whom Mary had seen sink before
her eyes. Boats were hastily secured
and in a short time four of the bodies
had been recovered Searching par
ties worked late into the night.

4. Iron-Bearing Plants

Experiments are under way at the
agricultural archaeological station at
Vienna, Austria, to increase the quantity
Of iron carried in certain plants, with
view to the effect on the human system
when those plants are used as food.
Artifcially prepared foods containing
Iron do not always produce the desired
eject, because the iron is not complete
~ assimilated. This difficulty, it is
thought, may be avoided by causing
plants to take up an increased quantity
of iron during their natural growth. BY
adding hydrate of iron to the soil in
which it was growing, the experimenters
have succeeded in producing spinach
containing percentage of iron seven
times as great as that found in ordinary
spinach. 1t is believed that the process
will prove successful with other fer
ruginous plants.-Science.

In this manner the tree is felled much
easier and quicker than in the old way,
no sawdust is produced and the slight
