WHAT ROME THINKS
THE POPE'S PHYSICIAN ENDORSES
AN AMERICAN REMEDY.
DIR. Lapponi Uses DIR. Williams Pink Pills
In His Practice Because Results
Meet His Expectations.

DIR. Lapponi, the famous physician to
the Vatican, whose name has recently
come SO greatly to the front on account
of his unremitting attention to His
Holiness, the late Pope Leo XIII, and
the high esteem and confidence with
which he is regarded by the present
Pope, His Holiness Plus X, is a man of
commanding genius. He is more than
a mere man of science he is a man of
original and independent mind. I'm
trammeled by the etiquette" Of the
medical profession and having used DIR.

his practice with good results, he freely
avows the facts and endorses the value
Of this remedy with an authority which

The simple an@mia of Development
referred to by DR.. Lapponi, is of course,
that tired, languid condition Of young
girls, whose development to womanhood
is tardy and whose health, at that period,
is SO often imperiled. His opinion Of
the value Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People at that time is of the
highest scientific authority, and it con
firms the many published casesin which
an@mia and other diseases of the blood,
as well as nervous diseases such as ncr-
vous pr~ostration, neuralgia, st. Vitus'
dance, paralysis and locomotor ataxia
hare been cured by these pills. They
are commended to the public for their
efficiency in making new blood and
strengthening weak nerves. After
such an endorsement they win be ac-
cepted by the medical and scientific
world ct their full value.

The government crop report for Sep
TENDER was encouraging for all i'm
portant crops except spring wheat. A
shrinkage of 21.3 per cent in h aver
age condition of hat cereal during
August was reported. This represents
an estimated loss of 67,000,O0O bush

bushels less than last years yield.
Corn, on the other hand, although it's

Desertions in the navy are increas-

naval authorities the gravest concern.
No ole is able to understand why
there should be such illegal withdraw
ais of the men from the service. 1t is
all the more surprising when it is con.
sidered that the payment and privi-
leges of the enlisted men have been
made as attractive as possible, and all
for the purpose of creating content
ment among the bluejackets. One rea-
son given is that the punishment of
the culprits who are apprehended Is
altogether inadequate and amounts to
an easier existence than that Of those

A Well

Form


A good set of muscles is one of the
most excellent qualifications which any
person can possess. There is no posi-
ton in life for which they unfit one, and
there is none which they will not enable
one to fill to better advantage than he
otherwise could 80. There are a thous-
and and one emergencies in life in which
strong, vigorous, and welI-trained mus
Giles are of enormous service, and in
which their use may be of incalcuable
value. Proper physical culture gives,
not only increased physical strength, but
greater dexterity, suppleness, and grace
of movement. The person who walks
with shuffling, swaying, and awkward
gait, does so, not on account of any
original defect in his physical makeup,
but through the weakness of certain
muscles which, by disuse, have become
unable to do their part in the act Of
walking, and so render him unable to
perform it in an easy and graceful man
ner. The trained gymnast exhibits
lightness and elasticity of movement i'm

Ga biegh1p Burnside.

The Tacoma Ledger says: The Uni
ted States cable ship Burnside expects
to leave port this morning for Seattle,
where she will remain for few days
prior to sailing for Manila about De-
cember 90. The ship had expected to
go from Puget Sound to Nagasaki and
thence to Manila. The gravity of the
situation in the Orient is such, how
ever, that her officers say they will-not
be surprised if orders are given her to
proceed via Honolulu instead.
In the event of a conflict between
Russia and Japan, the Burnside, being
an armed vessel, might find herself in
difficulties in the event of the block
aiding OF Japanese coaling ports. She
has several days to remain on the
Sound yet and the route she is to take,
whether via Nagtsaki, the usual route,
or via Honolulu, will depend entirely
upon the status of affairs in the Orient.
The Burnside has discharged at Ia
coma $50 miles of deep sea cable which
she had on board for the purpose of
completing the laying of the cable from
Sitka to Puget Sound. The project
was abandoned for the winter, how
ever, owing to heavy weather The
cable is stored in the United States
warehouse here, with an
other section of $50 miles.
The Burnside will % to Manila to
repair cables in the Philippines, return
ing to Tacoma in the spring to take on
the cable and delay it. Her officers ex-
pected that ten or twelve days would
be required to put out the cable. The
superior facilities of the government
warehouse here, however, has enabled
her TO put out the entire cable in eight
days. the task being completed early
this morning

Dear Friend:-I am going to tell you
about the Lowell and Longfellow
Houses. The Lowell House is in Cam
bridge. 1t is on the corner of Elm
wood Avenue and Mt. Auburn street.
1t was built in 1867. During the Revo
lutionary War it was used as a hospital
for the American soldiers: some of the
continental soldiers are buried in the
front yard. Vice-President Gerry of
the United States lived there. James
Russell LowelPs father bought it of
him. Russell was born there in 1919:
one of his grandchildren lives there
now. 1t is a yellow house with white
trimmings. 1t is two and a half stories
high and it is an oblong house.
The Longfellow House is on Brattle
street. 1t was built in 1859 and is now
called the Craigie House. Washington
and his wife lived there for a short
time. There is a park in front of the
house called 'Longfellow Park" 1t was
left there because Longfellow said he
wanted to see the Charles River. His
daughter Ii es there now. Longfellow
was born in Maine. He went there
when he was professor at Harvard.
The Longfellow House is yellow and it
is two and a half stories high.
Yours truly,
AUGUSTINE WILLHAUCK.
This letter is of interest to the class
as they have been reading and enjoying
Longfellow's beautiful poem "Hia-
watha." On the closing of school for

boards were decorated with drawings

takes you to the principal roadway,
where you see long lines OF cars. and
many twinkling little lights; as you
walk along you get used to it. Some
times you must stoop while walking to
avoid knocking your head or you might
have a lump on your head as big as

loud noise like distant thunder-you
look for it, but see nothing. AT last
you are SO frightened you scream,
when the guide tells you it is only

wall while it passes. These trains
contain about one thousand pounds of
coal. The guide now takes you from
the main road into all sorts of dark
holes and corners, so that you may
better know how the poor miners suf
