7 sDsl Must
Sleep.

If YOU cannot, it is due to an
irrltatcd or congcstcd state of
the brain, which will soon de-
velope into nervous, ,prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; it
is a part of her building and
sustaining process. This period
OF unconsciousness relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore cx-
haustcd vitality.
DIR. Miles Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothcs the irritation and re-
moves the congestion.
1t is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens ev-
cry nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give strength
and vitality as surely and
quickly as DR.. Miles Nervine.

GIRL AND DOG CAUSE PANIC.
Ugly Canine Responsible for Big Scare
in Louisville

An ugly bulldog and pretty girl at
opposite ends of a silken cord caused a
panic among shoppers in the busiest part
of Market street, Louisville, in which
three women tainted, a team ran away
and motorman strained his neck in an
effort to stop his car in time to avoid a
fatality.
The dog refused TO give his name, but
he admitted, at least by implication, that
he belonged to Miss Marjory Weissinger,
who, in addition to being considered one
of the most beautiful women in Louis
vile, has the distinction of being the
daughter of one of that city's wealthiest
men. Miss Weissinger and her pet were
out for their daily constitutional. Ali
went well until the bulldog spied an in
offensive terrier in the middle of the
street.
He was enraged that any other dog
should have the presumption to walk the
same street, and gave frantic lunge to
get at his foe. Miss Weissinger hung
gamely to the cord, but as the two strug-
gled about the pavement, three women
tainted and other shoppers scattered in
alarm. Finally the bulldog got away
and started down the street after the ter
rier, yelplng defiance as he went. A
team of horses ran away and collided
with a street car, but the bulldog had no
time to pay attention to such trivialities.
He caught the terrier in the middle of
the car tracks and proceeded to give him
lesson in etiquette. A street car was
stopped just in time to avoid running
over the dogs. In a moment, however,
Miss Weissinger arrived, pried her pet
loose from what was left of the terrier
and led him struggling away.
Then she tainted at sight of the terriers
blood

Mrs. Anna potts

Frequent backache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular
and scanty menstruation indicate dis
placement or nerve degeneration of
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that Troubles women
is how can woman who has some fe-
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts, of $40 Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark, writes:
My Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
During the early park of my married life
was delicate in health both my husband and
l were very anxious for a child to bless our
home, but l had two miscarriages, and could
not carry child to maturity. A neighbor
who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound advised me to try it,
did so and soon felt that l was growing
stronger, my headaches and baclzaches left
me, had no more bearing-down pains, and
felt like new woman. Within year
became the mother of strong, healthy
child, the joy of our home. Lydia E. Pink
HAMS Vegetable Compound is certainly a
splendid remedy, and I wish every woman
who wants to become mother would try it.n
Actual sterility in woman is very
rare. If any woman thinks she is ster-
lie, let her try Lydia e. Pinzham's
Vegetable Compound and write to Mrs.
Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. Her advice is
free to expectant or would-be mothers.

GOOD CROPS AND BAD YEARS.
Question as to Whether They Ever Come
Together, and Why.

The very general feeling that another
year Of prosperity would be assured By
the successful harvesting of the great
grain crops of the country starts a very
natural inquiry as to whether such &
sequel can always be relied on. In gen
eral it can, but there are exceptions
Probably bad years. following good
harveStS are more frequent thar ''gocd
years. following bad harvests.
For instance, the wheat and corn har-
vests Of 1872 were the second largest on
record. but the next season occurred the
great panic. The harveSts of 1892 Jared
similarly; the wheat yield had never but
once been equaled and the corn crop was
of respectable volume; but 1898 followed.
There was also tie harvest of 1882.
when the wheat crop broke all records
the list. But the harvest served to in
troduce the rich mems panic" of that
decade, exactly as 4 bumper corn crop
and the third largest wheat crop ever
reaped introduced the similarly trying
period of 1903.
On the other hand, there was the rath-
er general failure of both wheat and corn
crops in 1881, with what was called a
prosperous year following them. The
corn crop failure of 1901 did not destroy
the prosperity Of 1902, any more than
the spring wheat shortage in the north
west during 1900 injured either business
activity or railway earnings in that dis
trict during the ensuing year.-New
York Evening Post.

Mailing the Ghost.

An extraordinary instance of rustic
superst ton has been brought to light in
an Hungarian village. Owing to sinister
rumors as to the cause of death, the au-
thorities had the body of a peasant ex-
humed. and were Mortified to find the
hands and feet nailed down to the coffin,
while a long nail had also been driven
through the heart. An inquiry was at
once held, with the result that an old
woman confessed that the act had been
perpetrated under her directions. The
man had died a sudden death, and, there
being a superstition in Hungary that per-
sons dying under such circumstances
haunt the house in which they die, the
further superstition has grown up that
post-mortem Temperatures can be pre-
vented by mailing the body in its coffin.
The old woman further admitted having
done the same thing in all similar cases
for many years.-London Globe.

es wide and four feet long. then a
piece Of bright new tin eighteen inches
square, hook with fat end, so it
can be screwed to the wall. Then build
a shelf fifteen inches wide and TWEEN
ty inches long. Nail the shelf in a
convenient location in the barn, then
on the wall back of the shelf nail the
piece Of tin which acts as a reflector
as we'll as protects the wall.
Fasten the hook on the wall above
the tin. Then make cylinder by nail
ing the wire to the edge Of the circular
piece Of board, lacing the ends of the
wire together with stout Irvine. Set
this on the shelf and slip the lantern
inside of it, hanging the bale Of the
lantern on the hook. The wire cylin-
der protects the lantern yet does not
shut off much light, and by having the
hook curved there will be little danger
Of the lantern falling, even under quite
hard blow. The illustration shows
all Of the details for constructing this
arrangement.-Ind News.
