Effects Of Prosperity.

IN the six years Of the country's
greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1908,
average prices Of breadstuffs advanced
IS per cent; meats, 23.1 per cent;
dairy and garden products, SOL per
cent, and clothing'24.1. All these were
products of the farmer and stockman,
who prohted more than any other class
Of the community by these advances.
The miner benefited 42.1 per cent. by
that advance in the average price Of
metals. The only decrease in the aver
age prices Of commodities IN that pc
Rod was in railway freight rates, which
decreased from .T9S per t0n-mile i'll

Commerce Commission shows that the
average increase in the pay of railroad

An eminent physician says that
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualified; womcn DO tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to Il
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their Sex.
There a be no more terrible ordeal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to nswer certain
questions when those Questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is especially the ESQ with I'M
married women.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female disea,"S when they
cannot get the proper Information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of wome are low CORE
spending with Mrs. l'inhham. TO her
they can and do give every symptom,
81 that she really knows more about
the true condition Of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
If you suffer from any form OF trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free OF charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to osnen by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring in.

Exn,os;ons Caused by Mice.

An expert operator in the Northern
Ohio oil fields who is connected with
one Of the principal explosives COM
NAMES in the region, has evolved a
move theory which he says accounts
for many of the otherwise unaccount-
able explosions of nitro-glyeerine
which often prove so disastrous both
70 life and property. Nitro glycer-
inc as is well known, is a peculiarly
and uncertain explosive,
sometimes going off at a touch, while
at others, especially when frozen
hard. it is comparatively slow to re-
snond. It's medicinal properties are
aIso we'll known, and it has come
70 be a recognized SPECIFIC Tor
strengthening the action OF the heart.
The Ohio expert has discovered tha
mice are particularly fond OF it, md
ing in it, apparently, a tonic that suits
their little hearts to perfection.
r. is to the nibbling and the friction
~ their sharp little teeth that ne
thinks most of the premature eSplor
s;ons in the oil fields are due. The
nitro-glycerine usually is stored in
cans. known as t%orpedos. These are

the shafts of oil wells and are explod.

Asbestos,

You have probably heard the word
asbestos used in connection with thea.
ter curtains and with various methods
of rendering a theater or other build
ing f%reproof. Asbestos is a fibrous
material that cannot be burned.
Chemically it is a silicate of lime
and magnesium. When torn to pieces
in a machine made for that purpose
it looks like a mass of cotton, and
these fbers can be spun into threads
or strings, and then owe into fab
RIGS useful for various purposes. The
nantes Of our gas1ights are tied to a
supporting wire by a piece Of asbestos
string-St. Nicholas.
