" I am well now and

That is the statement of a woman who
had never been well until she was made
well by the use of DR.. Pierces Favorite

other women in like case. They have
always been sufferers from disease. They
have never known the Joy of perfect

pect of perfect and permanent health, by
the cure of the womanly diseases which
weaken women. 1t establishes regular

nation and liberation, and cures female
weakness. It makes weak women strong
and sick women well.

Suicide In Germany.
[From Harperls Weekly. !

Life must be hard in Germany IL a will
ingness, and even an eagerness, to seek
relief from it by self-slaughter can be ac
cepted as a criterion. No fewer than
1000 Inhabitants Of the German empire
committed suicide in 1908, and the num-
Der In increasing. Between 1902 and 1909
the number OF adult suicides in Saxony
rose from 1888 to 1897, and the number Of
children under IA years Of age who were
guilty OF self-murder rose from seven to 21
In the interval. Naturally the tendency TO
suicide is attributed to different causes.
according to the point OF view. Devout
christians ascribe the weakened desire
Tor life to the increase of irreligion. the
decay or faith, and the substitution of
sensual materialism for the belief In a
hereafter. The Socialists explain the
phenomenon by the discouraging dificultv
OF gaining a livelihood which narrows
ana darkens the horizon, and extinguishes
the torch OF hope. Opponents of the ex-
lstlng school system impute the increase
OF child suicide to the fact that children
are overdrlven. The tasks imposed upon
them, we are told, are impossible OF ao-
eomplishment by those who fall slightly
below the normal standard of intellectual
capacity. The assertion derives some
support from the fact that recently two
boys, who were sent home to their parents

Worlds Power Boat Record.

The official worlds record for a power
boat has been established by the Napier
IL" Of Great Britain. This boat Compel
ed in several contests last year. but her
performances were not considered salts
factory, although every indication of speed
was manifested. 1t was therefore handed
over again to the builders, Messrs. Var
row & Co, OF Poplar on Thames, and
drastic alterations have been effected In
the design Of the hull, which Is practical
ly new structure. Officially timed on
the builders recent trials the worlds
record for a knot was attained. Three
runs were made over the measured mile,
the first against the tide occupying
minutes 20 seconds. which Is equal to
24.S27 knots or 1857 miles per hour; the
second, with the tide, took minutes
ii seconds, a speed of 26. Sc knots or go 93
miles per hour; the third, also with the
tide, was timed to be 2 minutes ~ 3-5
seconds, speed OF 27.149 knots or 31.26
miles per hour. The conditions were not
propitious for fast speed, as the boat had
to contend against half a gale OF wind
The mean pace Of the first and last runs,
with and against the tide, is 25.9ss knots
OF 29925 miles an hour. For a 40-foot
boat this Is a meritorlous performance
The previous best speed was attained by
'Trefie-a-Quatre' at Juvisy, when ~
knots were recorded. Napier II. Is
reconstructed upon original lines. 1t Is
perfectly lat-bottomed, with the sides OF
the bows perfectly perpendicular. The
boat is propelled by two four-cylinder
engines each developing 60 horsepower
driving twin screws. At full speed the
craft rides with about feet OF her bows
out of the water but makes very little

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS
Proposed New Charter to Be
Considered at Village Meeting

Plan to centraIlze the Work and to Make
Heads Of Departments Subordinate Of
fieers.
Citizens and voters of Bellows Falls are
employed just now in all their spare
time in discussing the merits and de-
merits of a proposed new charter for the
village. At the last village meeting a
committee was appointed to recommend
to the next annual meeting in January,
an improvement upon our antiQuated and
outgrown system of running the village
government. The report was printed and
distributed last week to the voters. The
urgent need Of the corporation comes
from the old charter Vesting the admins
tration of different departments. particu-
larly the streets, sewers, water and fire
departments, each in different officers
with no centralized head, and the old
saying that too many cooks" ETC., has
been demonstrated by friction between
the different departments with the board
of bailiffs who are obliged to draw orders
for payments of bills in those depart
ments that they have no voice in, or con-
troll over. This has often resulted in an
excessive outlay of funds authorized by
the heads of these departments and
general lack of economy and harmony of
administra ton. The new proposed char
ter centralizes the government in a presi-
board the president shall be ex-oficio a
member. These, as well as moderator,
clerk, treasurer, and auditors, will be
elected by the voters at the annual meet
ing and they appoint the heads of the
different departments, with power to re-
move etc, and, in short the whole bust
ness management of the village affairs
will be vested in them instead of in va
rious heads of departments elected by the
voters themselves as at the present time.
The village has grown to the proportions,
and the outlay of the $4,000 each year in
the government and direction of village
affairs has become so important a matter
that it has outgrown the first stages of
small municipality, and should come
nearer the system of city. The oppo-
nents of the new charter are largely
among the labor union devotees, who
think they see therein a measure that
will in some unknown way deprive them
of certain privileges and rights. The
proposed new charter seems to be we'll
and carefully drawn and should be APP
proved by the voters, and after its enact
ment by the legislature next fall. it will
be approved again by the voters, as is
necessary before 1t becomes the basis of
government. The committee who drew 1t
are F. A Bolles, z. II. Allbee E. S.
Leonard, G. H. Gorham, and T. E.
O'Brien.

Equitable Savior 10 a Life Saver Of

Thomas F. Ryan, the Savior OF the

the Worlds Work Magazine. When

Out OF every reorganization Mr.. Ryan
mas made fortune. John Shelton VIII
liams charges that the Seaboard Ar Line
has been "milked" for $4,000, 900. The
Hooking Valley episode probably netted
Mr.. Ryan more than $500, 900. The Met
ropolitan deals are still paying him tre-
mendous revenues. He saves the cor
porations from ruin and they save him
from poverty.
Mr.. Ryan is a splendid If dangerous
type. He is tall, strongly built man of
about 90. His hair is beginning to turn
gray about the temples. His face is
deeply lined, yet with a lurking touch
OF merriment. His forehead is impress

brightness. He is one of the best groomed
men in Wall street. He owns yachts,
automobiles and golf clubs for amuse-

credited to him. He scents a bargain In
