GAINS THIRTYPOuNDS
MRS. WEBER TELLS HOW SHE WAS
HELPED WHEN DOCTORS FAILED.
She Let Her Trouble Become Chronic Be-
cause She Hesitated to Consult Her
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of a Re-
Case.

She Let Her Trouble Become Chronic Be-
cause She H~esitated to Consult Her
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of a Re-
markable Case.
The natural reluctance which every
woman feels to consult a physician re-
garding troubles peculiar to her sex
caused Mrs. G. Weber, Of No. 1855 South
Front street, Columbus, Ohio, to let her
illness run on until it became chronic,
and even the excellent doctor whom she
employed could give her no relief that
was permanent. She gives the follow
ing details Of an interesting case:
"I felt the trouble a long time before
I went to our doctor, perhaps a year or
more. When I did consult him he told me
I had female trouble. Ifelt sharp pains
through my stomach and could not walk
across the room without suffering ag-
onies which / cannot describe. Myhead
ached so that it fairly thumped and at
times it seemed that I would go crazy
My stomach became so weak that it
would retain only the hghtest food
Week after week I took the doctors
medicine, but l continued to feel worse
and worse. On several occasions j was
confined to my bed for a week at a time.
My weight decreased to 102 pounds and
T seemed a confirmed invalid.
"One day I read of a case similar to
mine that had been cured by DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People and,
although I did not have much confidence,
I began taking the pills, having already
discontinued my DOCTORS treatment.
While / was taking the second box I be-
gan to feel a little better aud the i'm
provement continued until I was cured,
In q few months I had recovered my
health and strength and weighed 1872
pounds. I owe everything to DR.. Will
Hams Pink Pills"
No discovery of modern times has
proved such a blessing to women as DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
Acting directlyo on the blood and nerves,
i%nvigorating the body, regulating the
functions, they restore the strength and
health in the exhausted patient when
every effort of the physician proves I'M
availing. These pills are sold in boxes at
30 cents a box, or six boxes for $3.50, and
may be had from all druggists, or direct
from DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Sche-
nectady, N. Y.

The truth about railroad wrecks is
seldom told, and ~railroaders know
man things which they will not dis
cuss even among themselves. The ma
jority of accidents which happen are moi
due to faulty construction or defective
mechanical appliances, but are attrib.
utable to the incapacity of the human
mind for sustained concentration. II
is a well known fact among railroad
men that trains frequently are run fof
as many as so miles at a high rate OF
speed, carrying q precious load of hu.
mainly, while the man at the throttle

/. with my dear little folks on their jour
neys through woods and fields. The
eyes that had grown dull from porting
over books grew bright as though the
skies above had lent some OF their
light, and little wearied bodies were
alive with the tonic Of fresh air and
sunshine and the freedom Of motion,
in but a little while after the school
room door was closed, and our out
door lessons commenced. They stud
led plants and seed; insects and ami
mails; birds and their eggs and nests,
in their proper environment, n
learned much Of their growth and his
tory. My little folks were too young
to make collections, but with older
classes these would add greatly to the
pleasure and knowledge gained. In
studying this subject recently | gained
some excellent ideas which may help
some of you, and so ! append them to
this all too brief and feeble plea for a
little of the blessed work of the great
teacher, Nature, in our schools.
Aimless lessons or excursions should
be avoided. The best teachers plan
the lesson around a center of interest;
in a lesson on plant life select a plant
life center, as the distribution or pro-
pagation of common plants; in geogra-
ply select a geographic unit" such
as the slope, rain and it's work, divides
and drainage, etc. Thus the child sees
relations and underlying meaning.
The following centers of interest are
suggested:
Seed Observation-Disclosures children
observe seeds carried by the wind or
water, seeds clinging to colthing and
coats of animals, etc. Have specimens
of seeds collected, and their wings"
and CLAWS" their use and harmful
ness studied in the school room.
Bulbs and Root StalksACollect
bulbs, as of the dogs tooth violet, the
jonquil, the narcissus, etc. Plant them
in a protected place and have the chill
dren watch their growth in the spring.
Study the bulbs and f1eshy roots OF
garden vegetables.
Plotting Plants-Have the children
make a collection of slips for roofing
and potting.
Caterpillars-The tomato worm is
the most interesting. Place one in a
box of soft earth, and watch him sink
ulI1SSlL lAJO tuC w ~Ai~
until springtime.
Forestry Trees-In the autumn col
lect and observe foliage, fruit, nuts,
buds, bark and branches.
In winter. compare twigs. In spring,
observe and compare twigs with leaf
buds and flower buds. Select a tree
for special study. Observe insects
that infest the bark, or injure the
leaves.
Galls-Study a collection made from
weeds and trees.
Soils-From an area that includes
hills, slopes, and lowlands collect am
Piles of clay, sand. loan. aud vegetable
mould, for study as to composition and
conditions determining fertility or ster.
ility.
Forms Of Land and Water-Use Of
sand table and moulding board may be
good, but why not have the child get
true concepts of slopes, streams, ETC.,
by seeing and exploring them. After
the child has observed the different
types Of geographic forms, he can be
taught to map them intelligently with
relief maps, chalk modelling, outline
maps, etc. From such experiences the
child can be taught to symbolic the
world.

It is unusual to see pieces by Whieldon;

FOUGHT ALL NIGHT.
Russians Compelled to Abandon Posi-
ton with Loss of Fifty Men.

Lao Yang, July 2.-Headquarters of
General Kuropatkin. 8 p. ma cor
respondent of the Associated Press who
has just returned from the headquar-
tiers of Count Keller's corps reports that
on Wednesday a Japanese division adj
vanced to a tortuouS defile about 80
miles east of Lao Yang. General KEEL
Ter had no artillery posted, but had sta
toned three battalions of infantry along
a crest commanding the pass. An OBJ
stinate fight followed and lasted the
whole night. The Russians lost so
men and the japanese casualties were
larger.
On Thursday morning General Keller
retired. successfully withdrawing his men
from the narrow defiles. A most COM
plete change of plans was displayed by
the japanese on Friday in retiring upon
Hoi-Chan. General Keller in the mean
time had been reinforced by artillery and
he harassed the Japanese rear. Owing to
the heavy rains the movements of the
guns and transport wagons were exceed
ingly difficult.
It is believed that the japanese lost an
opportunity of attacking Lao Yang or
cutting the Russian lines of communica-
ton. The rains render it imperative to
suspend operations.

may prove a strong candidate, though
his state took no action toward en-
