Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is the most efficient treat
ment for kidney troubles of women,
and is the only medicine especially
prepared for this purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in lOins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a brick
dust sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means of
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compounidid for Mrs.
Sawyer.
"Icannot express the terrible suffering l
had to endure. A arrangement OF the female
organs developed nervous prostration and q
serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended
ms for a year, but / kept getting worse, until
l was unable to do anything, and | made up
nv mind / could not live. / finally decided
to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound as a last resort, and | am to-day a well
woman. l cannot praise it too highly, and l
tell every suffering woman about my case"

Commander Distrusted Boiler.

The boiler which exploded, it is said,
was regarded as unsafe. Commander
Young stated that during a recent re-
turn from Honolulu the steam pressure
was kept reduced in that particular
one.
At the time of the accident Comman.
der Lucien Young and Surgeon f. E.
Peck We're on shore. The officers, as
o as they learned of the disaster,
hurried to the water front. Comman-
der Young, as soon as he reached the
ship, gave orders that the alright
compartments be closed to prevent the
listing craft from sinking and that the
magazines be flooded to avert further
explosions. He then beached the YES
sci at high tide.
The removal of the wounded was con-
Quoted in perfect order. The crews Of
the De Russey and the other boats
aided in transferring the men to shore.
The men bore their injuries with the
greatest fOrtitude. Laid out in lines
on the beach they gripped one anoth-
er's hands and shut their teeth in their
agony.
The hospitals were overfilled in an
hour, and private houses were thrown
open and the mistresses of them be-
came sisters of mercy on the moment.
Reinforcements were telegraphed for
to the surrounding towns, and IL q
short time the work of transferring
and giving medical and surgical at
tendance to the injured was being car
fled Oh systematically.

MY husband had dyspepsia when we
were married and had suffered from it
for several years. 1t was almost IN.
possible to find anything he could cal
without bad results.
Il thought this was largely due to
the use of coffee, and persuaded him to
discontinue it. He did so, and began to
drink Postum Food Coffee. The change
did him good from the beginning, his
digestion improved; he suffered much
less from his nervousness, and when
he added Grape-Nuts food TO his diet
he was soon entirely cured.
My friend, Mrs. ---, of Nicks-
burg (my former home), had become a
arvou wreck also from dyspepsia.
Medicines had no effect, neither did
travel help her. On my last visit home
some months ago, l persuaded her to
use Grape-Nuts food. She was in de-
spair, and consented. She stuck to it
until it restored her health so COM
pletely that she is now the nos enthu-
siastic friend of Grape-Nuts that l
ever knew. She eats it with cream or
dry, just as it comes from the package

AIDS NATURES WORK
EFFECT OF AcETYLENE RAYS ON
GROWTH OF PLANTS.

Grow to Twice Actual Weight of Those
Exposed to Sunlight OnIv Iat..t
Victory For This New and Beautiful
Illumlnant.
The experiments recently made at
Cornell University prove that the bean
tiful rays from the gas, acetylene. are
as effective as sunlight on the growth
of plants. and this may soon become a
subject for serious consideration by all
progressive c%ultivators Of the soil.
The results of the experiments are
astonishing, inasmuch as they show
conclusively the great increase of
growth attained by supplementing
"The Light of Nature" with THE Light
of Acetylene" during the hours in
which the plants would otherwise be
in darkness. For instance. O certain
number of radish plants subjected to
acetylene light during the night grew
to twice the actual weight of the same
number of radishes given daylight only,
all other conditions being equal. and
peas had blossomed and partially ma
tured pods with the help Of a~cetylene
light, while without the added light
not even buds were apparent.
Acetylene is already taking it's place
as an illuminant for towns from a cen
trail plant, for lighting houses, churches.
schools and isolated buildings of all
kinds, and it is being used successfully
for many other purposes.
a striking and important feature of
acetylene is the ease and small expense
with which it can be made available
compared with the great advantages
derived from its use. The machine in
which the gas is generated is easily in

People on the shore saw a huge cloud
of steam rise above the Bennington.
Columns of water were forced high
into the air. A dozen or fifteen men
were blown overheard by the force of
the explosion. Captain Wentworth,
who was looking at the Bennington
when the disaster occurred, says he
saw human bodies hurled over a hun
dred feet upward. The air was cloud
ed with smoke, which enveloped the
ship.
When the haze cleared away only a
few men could be seer on the decks,
while many were fioundering In the
water. Boats were lowered from the
vessels side and most of the men in
the water were picked up and taken
on board.
On board the Bennington were pre-
sented terrible scenes. The force of
the explosion had torn a great hole in
the starboard side of the ship and the
vessel was already commencing to list.
A section of the upper deck was car
ried away from stem to stern. Wreck
age was distributed over the entire
ship. The after cabin and that part of
the ship adjacent to the exploded boil

pieces were in the debris.

EXPLOSION ON GUNBGAT
Boiler on the u. S. S. Bennington
Bursts, Killing Many Of Crew.
VESSEL I'M MEDIATELY BEACHED

Accident Occurs on San Diego, Cal,
While Ship Was Preparing to Put Out
to Sea-Defective Boiler Caused the
Accident - Sailors Blown Overheard
and High in the Air.
San Diego, Cal.-By the blowing up
of two of the main boilers Of the Uni
ted States gunboat Bennington in the
harbor here Lieutenant Newman K.
Perry, Jr., and at least thirty-nine men
were killed instantaneously and over
three score of the crew were seriously
injured.
There were really two explosions.
The first took place in what is known
as Boiler B, at the top of the lower
furnace. The boiler was jammed back
on Boiler A, and this was forced out of
place and blew up. The explosion took
place at 1915 o'clock a. M, while all
hands were at their stations and the
vessel was about to get under way to
go to the aid of the monitor Wyoming,
which met with an accident off Port
Hartford.
There were more than $50 men
aboard when the accident occurred,
and many were hurled or forced to
jump into the sea by the terrific explo-
sion, which lifted part of the deck and
compelled the Bleaching of the ship.
The Bennington was lying in the
stream just off the Commercial Wharf
at H street. She had received orders
from the Navy Department at WASH
ington to sail in the morning to convoy
the Wyoming to Mare Island Navy
Yard, San Francisco.
Steam was up and everything was in
readiness for departure when the star
board boilers exploded with a deafen-
ing oar
Where the harbor had been q scene
of peace the air was suddenly filled
with fumes, the water was strewn
with the dead and dying, and the
echoes of the explosion were reverber-
ating through the city.
