Going through the hospitals In our
large cities one is surprised to find such
large proportion Of the patients lying
on those snow.white beds women
aud girls, who are either awaiting
o. recovering from serious opera
tons.
WHY should this be the casep Sim
ply because they have neglected them
selves. Ovarian and womb troubles
are certainly on the increase among
the women of this country-they creep
upon them unawares, but every n of
those patients in the hospital beds had
plenty Of warning in that bearing
down feeling, pain at left or right of
the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in
the small of the back, leucorrhoa, dig
illness, hatulency, displacements of the
womb or irregularities. All of these
symptoms are indications of an un-
healthy condition of the ovaries or
womb, and If not needed the penalty
has to be paid by a dangerous operation.
When these symptoms manifest them
selves, do not drag along until you are
obliged to go to the hospital and sub
NIT TO an operation but remember
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved thousands of
women from surgical operations
When women are troubled with ir-
regular, suppressed or painful menstru-
alton, weakness, leucorrhea, displace

SHE WANTED THE MONEY.
Clever japanese Actress Declined Vase
Preferred by the President
of France.

Sada Yacco, the charming little jap
anese actress, is great fav0rite in
Paris. She is, moreover, exceedingly
frank-appallingly so-as may appear
from the following incident which her
friend, Loie Fuller, is telling just now.
Mistress Sada was invited to take
part in private performance given by
President Loubet. She was delighted,
and so were the host and his guests,
the Loubet pleasure promptly taking
the form of a magnificent Sevres vase,
which was presented to the fascinating
Oriental by the august donor himself.
A smile was his reward--that beam
ing, chililike smile, which only pref
ty Japanese girl can properly achieve.
saba Yacco recognized the gentleman's
good intentions and gave him full
credit for them, but she is as practical
as she is graceful, and this is what
she said
VERY sorry. Very sorry. Not take
vase to Japan. Too far. Get broken.
Take money. Very sorry
While the onlookers gasped she
beamed on the president all over
again, sweetly, serenely unconscious
that she had done anything out of the
ordinary. And she got the money.

NOON AN IDEAL BALL PARK
The Rare Atmosphere Of Marian Sat-
elite Described by q Col
lege Professor.

Phobus, satellite of Mars, Is tho
IDEAL place for baseball players, &C
oUding to Prof. Ray Forest Moultor
a the University Of Chicago, who de-
clared to his students in astronomy
yesterday that on Phobus, which il
from five to 30 miles in diameter, {
man can toss ball around the entire
planet and catch it on it's return.
A poor amateur could compel the
ball to take on curves in the atmos
phere of Phobus that would put t.
shame the best efforts of "Christy'
Mathewson or the eccentric Waddell
Then, too, Phobus would be a great
place for the managers. Salaries
would have to be paid to but one
man. The pitcher could fulfill the
catcher's task as we'll as his own, and
it would be an easy matter for him
to fill the outer gardens, as a ball bat
ted into the little resisting atmosphere
surrounding the satellite would remain
in the air for several minutes, giving
the twirler plenty of time to move
from the slab to the outfield.
For the inhabitants of Defines. the
other satellite OF Mars, to play catcf
with his neighbors on Phobus would
be simple mornings recreation. He
could toss the ball to. q waiting catch
er on the sister satellite and then per
form his mornings work before the
ball would again seek his level aftel
its lofty flight from Phobus.
Prof Moulton did not advise any
Of his students to lead baseball teams
to Phobus and Demos, at least moi
until navigation of the air has beer
mastered, but he explained to them
how the weak power of gravitatior
would make it possible for a man tc
throw a cruve around the satellite
without overexerting himself.

WHEN TROUBLE conu

Just remember that every cloud ha1
silver lining"
Put your shoulder to the wheel and
say: Il will be bright, will male
the best Of things"
Don't sponge on your friends simply
because they assure you you ore par
fectly welcome" to what they have.
II you wish to achieve any success IA
life, the surest way to do 50 is by keep
ing at whatever your appointed task
may be with unflagging interest aud
energy.
Don't be overpowered by the dark
side; keep at it until you lind the
bright one, for weeping mag endure
for a night, but Joy cometh in the
morning"
When most tempted to whine and
rebel at the way things are going just
think of the mother who struggles for
food and shelter for her little ones,
who in the face Of the darkest trials
bears up for their sake, and you will
be sure to brighten up through very
shame of daring to do anything else.

But, - somber sounds Of nightfall carry
sadness to the heart.
Thus discordant gloom rejoices s.-~
And these grim nocturnal voices -.e@
Touch the chord of melancholy n the

Neither dawn nor yet the nightfall make

Not the eastern sun ascending
Nor tho west with daylight ending,
But the minutes In between them AZ they

Not the greeting nor the farewell tell
what friendships love doth mean,
Not the handclasp with its gladness.
Not the good-by with its sadness,
Not the meeting nor the parting, but the

though broad seas between them roll.
IT'S no vanishing emotion.
Not fancy or q notion.

MOST DANGEROUS LIQUID.
An Acid That Can Be Kept in None
Other Than Bottle Of
Solid Gold.

A solid gold bottle stood On the
chemists table, says the Minneapolis
Journal
I'm that bottle" he said, my hydro.
fluoric acid is kept. Hydrofluoric acid
is used in glass-etching. The etching
on glass thermometers is all done with
it. 1t is colorless. It looks like water,
But a drop of it on your hand would
bore clean through to the other side
like a bullet. Its inhalation is sure
death.
"HydroRuoric acid can be safely kept
only in gold bottles. Sometimes bot
ties of India rubber or lead or of plat.
mum are used. None of these though,
is as safe as gold. Even when this
acid is in a gold bottle precautions
must be taken; it Is volatile and a
paraf1n-covered plate must be clamp
ed tight over the bottles mouth. Also
the temperature of the room must
not rise over 60 degrees or the gold
bottle will burst.
"This acid, whose sole use is in
glass-etching, is probably the most
dangerous thing in the world to work
with. The steeple jack, the lion tanner,
the diver, even the Japanese and Rus
sian soldiers do not take their lives
in their hands to half the extent the
glass etcher does when, with his gold
vial of hydrofluoric acid, he etches
the scales on our thermometers"

THIS BEAR
WAS WISE

@ HREWsBURY, VT.-When Sim
y Burbank came in from the noun
tain the other day and declared that
Roaming Pete, the notorious spike
tailed bear Of Jockey Cap peak. had
turned shepherd, folks around here
gasped, although they were ready to
believe most anything OF Pete.
Eye don't mean he's gone an done
that, not honest?" exclaimed Abe
Winslow, who has had several expert
ences with the animal himself.
Sure as shootin,," declared Sim.
IL seen him with my own eyes, an
I'm here to declare he's the most
KNOWN critter in the hull county. He
was tendin' 'em Jest like a man, only
he was drivin' EN- toward Smuggler's
Caves, which q man wouldn't"
"sho! Ye don't say?" snorted Abe.
"Waal, waal, l carlate it's about time
We got arter him. What do ye say
We take Bill Cumm1n's hound an
give him q run-it's reasonable cool?"
This plan thoroughly pleased Sim.
In fact, he had journeyed four miles
to the village to enlist the services Of
Abe. Generally speaking, he would
stand . good deal from a bear before
trailing him in the heat, but Pete's
last performance had thoroughly tried
his patience. Every one in the COM
munity credited Roaming Pete with
being the most knowing bear Of sew
eral seasons. and this opinion strength
ened a. he successfully eluded capture
time and again. .-,
Some folks called him Joking
