Unless early and correct treatmentis
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is the most efficient treat
ment for kidney troubles of women,
and is the only medicine especially
prepared for this purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs Or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a brick
dust sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means Of
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound did for Mrs
Sawyer.

AIDS NATURES WORK
EFFECT OF ACETYLENE RAYS ON
GROWTH OF PLANTS.

Grow to Twice Actual Weight of Those
Exposed to Sunlight Only = Latest
Victory For This New and Beautiful
Illuminant.
The experiments recently made ut
Cornell University prove that the beau
tiful rays from the gas, acetylene, are
as effective as sunlight on the growth
of plants, and this may soon become
subject for serious consideration by all
progressive cultivators of the soil. Il
The results of the experiments are
astonishing, inasmuch as they show
conclusively the great increase of
growth attained by supplementing
THE Light of Nature with 1.-The Light
Of Acetylene" during the hours in
which the plants would otherwise be
in darkness. For instance, a certain
number of radish plants subjected to
acetylene light during the night grew
to twice the actual weight of the same
number of radishes given daylight only,
all other conditions being equal, and
peas had blossomed and partially ma
tured pods with the help of acetylene
light, while without the added light
not even buds were apparent.
Acetylene Is already taking its place
AS an illuminant for towns from a cen
trail plant, for lighting houses, churches
schools and isolated buildings of all
kinds, and 1t is being used successfully
for many other purposes.
A striking and important feature of
acetylene is the ease and small expense
with which it can be made available
compared with the great advantages
derived from its use. The machine in
which the gas is generated is easily in

1t is well that on one day in the

soldier should be held up before our
people. Love of country consists in
service rather than in profession.
Public good must ever be preferred
to private good And surely when so
many Americans were willing to give
all that they had for the country, we of
to-day ought at least to be willing to
forego mere personal advantage when
it can only be won at the expense of
the land which we all love. This is

De2oslts Of Cornwall and Method Of
Reducing the Ore Described.

Reducing the Ore Described.
An interesting description of the
tin mines of Cornwall is given by /.
c. Fuller, a mining engineer, who is
thoroughly familiar with the deposits
and IS now in this country. These
mines are among the oldest In the
world. The Phoenicians as early as
500 B. G. had made their way to the
southwest part of Britain and discov-
cred tin deposits here. Although the
mines have been rked almost con-
tinually since that time there Is no
immediate sign Of their giving out.
"Tin IL the rarest of the so-calied
common metals" declared Mr.. Fuller.
THE annual output of the world at
present is $4,000 tons, of which 5000
comes from Cornwall Prior to 1875
the number of tons raised at Cornwall
was about twice as large and formed
about one-fourth of the worlds output,
but since hat year there has been
an enormous expansion in the pro-
ductiQn as well as in the consumption
Of TIN. Tin is now found on almost
every continent. There are large de-
posits In the Malay Peninsula, in .
few OF the Pacific islands and In
South America.
more than five-sixths Of the output
of tin is derived from secondary al
luvial deposits, but all from Cornwall
is from vein mining. The vein stun
is broken either by hand or in rock
breakers and stamped to fine powder
in stamp mills. These mills are prac-
tically large mechanically worked pes
ties and mortars, the stamp proper
weighing from 500 to 1000 pounds.
After the mineral has been crush
ed small enough to pass through a
sieve with perforations One-twentieth
Of an inch in diameter, it is carried
from the stamp in suspension in
water by means of a series of troughs
in which the heavier mineral is col
lected.
This mixture then passes through
a series of washes which reduces it's
component parts to tin1stone and ar.
senical pyrites. Refined thus far, 1t
is submitted to a calcining process
and rewashed, until finally black tin
containing from 60 to 65 per cent OF
metal Is left. The dressed ore is then
smelted.
"The mines are usually very hot,
owing to the lack of adequate. ventila-
tion, and some of them are more than
four hundred fathoms deep, and ex.
tend one or two miles under the sea.
The chief source of danger is the sea
water, which sometimes completely
submerges the mines, often drowning
the workers.
''The miners of Cornwall when
working on wages make about Is shil-
Engs week, but the majority work
on the contract system, or, as you
would say, by piecework, and, of
course, their compensation varies.
They live very comfortably and seem
contented, being, as a whole, more
conservative than the better classes.
They do not accept Joseph Chamber
lain's fiscal policy as readily as the
better educated people, who are al.
most universally in favor of it. For
some reason or other this seems to be
a reversal of the ordinary status OF
society. Those most eager to grasp
at innovations are usually the labor.
