One of the greatest triumphs Of Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound IS
the conquering of woman's dread
enemy, Tumor.
So-called wandering pains may
come from its early stages, or the pres
ence of danger may be made manifest
by excessive menstruation accompanied
by unusual pain extending from the
ovaries down the groin and thighs.
If you have mysterious pains, if there
are indications of Inflammation ulcera-
ton or displacement, don't wait for
time to confirm your fears and go
through the horrors of a hospital opera
ton; secure Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound right away and begin
its use and write Mrs. Pinkham OF

ODDITIES OF INVENTION.

Prof Baiardi, of Turin, has sue
ceeded in perfecting his invention Of
photographing the eye and advo-
Gates its practical use for diagnosis of
diseases of that organ.
A French engineer named Otto has
invented an apparatus for purifying
drinking water at home; its capacity Is
so gallons an hour, and its cost about
the same as that of an electric incan-
descent light Ozone is generated,
which kills all germs in the water.
In some parts of the west where
irrigation is much depended upon, a
current motor" is in use which. by
an ingenious use of levers and iron
blades, makes the water Of flowing
streams pump itself. The pressure of
the current causes the blade to swing
backward and forward, and the force
thus exerted is communicated to ma
chinery which runs pump.
The recent classification at the Brit
ish patent office shows that cooking is
the popular subject of invention, hav-
ing been the subject of 3,575 British
patents in 48 years, or an average of
73 a year. Umbrellas brought out
LAST inventions, and hats 1,411. In

velopment in cycles, while motor We

NAUTICAL KNOWLEDGE.
The Acquisition Of Which Would
Assuredly Fit One for an
Exciting Cruise.

Having been sailing one afternoon with
= friend, you notice how simple it is to
manage boat; SO you buy one-whether
it is a eenter-board or a fin-keel boat you
don't know and it doesn't make any diff
ference SO long as you hike the color, says
the Chicago Daily News.
Ask half dozen friends to act as crew.
Great care should be exercised in choosing
only men who know nothing about sail
ing, otherwise they might make sugges-
tions aS to the management of the boat
Far better is it for you to train the men
after your own ideas of sailing-and YOU
stand much better chance Of getting a
picture of yourself and your boat into the
papers.
After sailing around the harbor a few
times without damaging any of the other
boats, you will be in position to invite
your girl friends to so sailing. If expert
enced yachtsmen tell you that your boat
will with safety carry ten, invite twenty
friends. It you bring them all back you
will establish a precedent.
Never postpone a sailing party because
of an approaching storm. This would look
cowardly, and by all means establish a
risk the lives of all your friends
Always carry full canvas-before squall
and during it. Once outside the haIbor
tie your main sheet down-in hard knots
if possible. This will make the trip more
exciting.
BY carefully following the above rales
Sou will give the newspaper reporters a
chance to write columns on yachting as
the Most Dangerous of Sports" and will
also help the hfe-savlng crew to earn their
