TYPE WRITER GIRLS
HAVE ACCOMPLISHED WONDERS.
Made Their Advent, With the Machine,
Less Than Thirty Years Ago.

Many Of the readers of the New
York World must have noted recently
with surprise the account of the thir-
tieth business anniversary of the first
typewriter girl" So fully has the
typewriter occupied the field that 1t
seems almost incredible that il was
still practically unknown when Hayes
was elected president, and that Eng
land did not take kindly to 1t until a
dozen years ago.
To-day the typewriter is In every
continent and country. 1t is fitted for
fifty languages and a thousand dia-
lects. One of its best markets is in
what was Cetewayo's Zululand when
it was invented. 1t ligbtens the labors
of Arabian scribes and Parsee money
lenders. A modification of its familiar
principle has been made to fit 1000
Geographic characters of China and
Japan.
The typewriter has been for thou
sands of women a broad avenue to
business success. AT the same time
that the wages of the great army of
amanuenses have been forced down by
competition. the pay of operators hold
ing court positions or places of trust
and responsibility has held its own or
risen, and many women who began
business as operators have become
secretaries and general managers of
important enterprises. Typewriting
now vies with teaching as an occupa-
ton for educated and ambitious young
women.
Humorists have made the typewriter
girl the butt of many jokes, but she
could not occasionally marry her en-
ployer and turn upon him the tables
Of dictation If she had not brought to
his Office a grace and charm which
thirty years ago it would have lacked.
The vast volume of business now done
in the commercial world would be al
most impos sible without her and her
machine.-New York World.

Horrors of the Cocaine Habit.

The following illustration of bad ad-
vice in the lecture room is probably
not an exceptional case. A professor
of materia medica lecturing on cocaine
called it one of the greatest of all
stimulants and perfectly harmless.
He cited his own experience of its
good effects, and advised the class to
test it personally in debility and ex-
haustion. OF class.of thirty-two who
listened to this advice, five became
cocaine takers within two years Ten
years later thirteen of this class were
drug and spirit takers. In all prob
ability, the use of cocaine was the
starting point of their addictions.
Four died from the direct use of this
drug. Evidently more than half the
class had followed the advice of the
teacher and were wrecked. A few
years after. the professor became an
invalid and retired from the profess
sion, victim of his own counsel and
confidence in cocaine.

rwo rhousand.Year clock.

Richard Strut, a son of Lord Ray
leigh. has invented a clock that will
run for two thousand years. The mo-
tive power is a small piece of gold
leaf, which is electrified by means of
very small quantity of radium salt.
The gold leaf bends away from the
metal substance and keeps moving un-
der this influence until it touches the
side of the containing vessel. AT the
moment of contact it loses its cleo
trical charge and then springs back
again and is again electrified, and the
process is repeated. 1t is thought that
thoroughly reliable clock could be
made with use of radium salt for ST.
900.

Exercise gradually increases the
physical powers, and gives more
strength to resist sickness.


From the Massachusetts Medical
Journal we abstract the following: At
the second annual American Congress
on tuberculosis held in New York in
1902, DIR. Pryor stated that $4,000 per-
sons die annually in the State of New
York of this disease. One-sixth of all
the deaths in the world are due to this
one disease. Statistics show that in
France 100000 die every year of this
disease; in Germany. 10000; in the
United States, 100000; in Paris. H.
600; in London. $4,000; New York
City. 5000.
OF deaths between the ages of IF
teen and forty. tuberculosis claims one
third; between fifteen and thirty-fve,
one-half. The mortality from tubercu-
losis alone exceeds that of war, plague,
cholera. famine, yellow fever and
smallpox.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
HOW THEY MAINTAIN THE CHARMS
OF THEIR SEX.
The Importance that Attache, to the Care
of the Blood If One Wants Bright Eyes
and n Clear Complexion

of tho Blood If One Wants Bright Eyes
and n Clear Complexion
Every sensible woman naturally wishes
to appear attractive. She knows the value
of bright eyes, delicate complexion and
lively spirits She knows also that
good health is at the basis of her charms,
and that good blood is the source of good
health.
Miss Mamie Conway has complexion
which is the admiration of all who know
her. Asked if she could make any sug-
gestions that would be helpful to others
less fortunate, she said:
my complexion would not have
pleased you. if you had seen it two years
ago 1t was then about as bad rs it
could be, and it gave me a great deal of
dissatisfaction. If You want a good
complexion you must take care of your
health, especially of the condition of
your blood. My health was at that time
completely broken down. was nervous,
had frequent headaches, torpid liver
and great deal of pain in that region.
1 suffered also from indigestion. 1t was
clear that my blood was i'll bad condition,
for pimples broke out all over my face"
at is hard to realize that. for there
isn't the slightest trace of such blem-
ishes now"
1t was unfortunately quite other
wise then, and long time passed before
found anything that gave me any re-
lief. 1 became very weak and listless.
The doctors medicine did me no good,
and took n number of highly recon-
mended tonics with no better result.
As soon, however, as 1 began to use DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People my
complexion cleared up, and after had
taken two boxes there was not sign of
n pinple left on my face. My cheeks
became rosy, gained flesh ard have had
perfect health ever since"
Rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes are
merely signs of healthy blood. They have
come not only in the case of Miss Conway,
whose home is Mt 1911 East Eighth street,
Canton, Ohio, but to thousands of
women for whom DR.. Williams Pink
Pin. have made new blood. There isno
surer way for you to obtain them, than to
buy box of these pills from any drug
gist and try them for yourself. They cor

tuberculosis Rightly cIassed.

The Health department of the city of
Philadelphia has decided that in future
tuberculosis shall be classed with
other diseases that are dangerous to
the public health, such as smallpox,
diphtheria. scarlet fever. and other
contagious maladies. The law in
Pennsylvania and most other States of
the Union requires that every case of
contagious disease shall be reported
to the Health department. Hereafter
all cases of tuberculosis must be so
reported by the attending physician.
The purpose of this law is to enable
the Health department to take neces-
sary steps to prevent the extension of
this disease by disinfection of the
apartments which have been occupied
by the patient, and by instruction of
the patient and the patients friends
how infection from the disease may be
avoided.
This law is good one. and ought
to be enforced in every civilized COM
munity.
