Pawnbrokers in China are the bank
ers Of the people, and could not be dis
pensed with. The poor Cinnamon, I'M
like the poor European, does not wear
his winter clothes until they are fit
only to be discarded. When the Chi
nese officials order that summer cloth
ing shall be donned, the poor China
man pawns his winters suit, and with
the proceeds, supplemented by little
cash, he redeems his previous summer
garb, or buys new attire Pawnbrok-
ing, writes Mr.. Cunningham in. "The
Chinese Soldier" is to the respectable
Chinaman Of limited means a weekly
round.
When Ii Hung-chang arrived at
Shanghai, after the war, he was es-
corted through the settlements by the
usual big procession of attendants in
their ancient and disreputable regalia.
In attendance as guard Of honor
were two Chinese battalions of home
made braves" who were armed with
display Of guns that. from their va
riety alone would have done infinite
credit to any armorer's museum.
They wore their usual cotton uni
forms over their rags for "look-see
pidgin" Chat is, "for looks'), but ap-
pended to each rifle, as the superin-
tendent of police pointed out to me,
was the usual small Chinese pawn
ticket. The head official evidently did
not believe in allowing capital, even
though invested in such precarious
things as arms, to remain idle.

A TRAINED NURSE
After Years Of Experience, Advises Women On
Regard to Their Health.

Mrs. Martha Pohlman
Of IS Chester Avenue,
Newark, N. j., who is q
graduate Nurse from the
Blockley Training School,
at Philadelphia, and for
six years Chief Clinic
Nurse at the Philadelphia
Hospital, writes the letter
printed below. She has
the advantage of personal
experience, besides her
professional education,
and what she has to say
may be absolutely relied
upon.
Many other women are
afflicted as she was. They
can regain health in the
same way. 1t is prudent
to heed such advice from
such a source.
Mrs, Pohlman writes:
~ am firmly persuaded,
after eight years Of experience
with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, that ii
Is the safest and best medicine
for any suffering woman to
use.

Irrigated Land in the Spokane
Valley.

The Spokane Valley extends
east from the City Of Spokane
for about so miles, with an aver
age width of five miles, reaching
Occur d'Alene City, on Occur
d'Alene Lake, to the southeast,
and Rathdrum, Idaho. to the
northeast. The soil is similar to
that of the famous Rhine Valley
in Germany, with this difference,
that while the Rhine Valley has
been cultivated for thousands of
years the Spokane Valley is
practically virgin soil.
Spokane is the distributing.
point for eastern Washington
and northern Idaho, has popu-
lation of 81 900 and from it cleo
trio lines are being constructed
to all parts of the valley, which
will soon be one vast suburb of
the city itself.
Irrigated land in the western
part of the valley is now worth
$500 per acre, while in the east
ern part, where water is now
ready for use, it can be had for
$3.50 per sore. Alfalfa, and semi
tropical fruits of all varities grow
to perfection in this district.
The proximity of Spokane makes
this an exceedingly desirable
proposition.

tions dealing with this and other

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy
the sense of smell and completely
derange the whole system when
entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on pre-
scriptions from reputable physi-
clans, as the damage they will do
is ten fold to the good you can
possibly derive from them. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.,
contains no mercury, and is
taken internally, acting directly
on the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. In buying
Halls Catarrh Cure be sure you
get the genuine. It is taken in
ternally and made IN Toledo,
Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co.
