Reminders of the Devil.

"The unfortunate disaster by which
a life has been lost on the Welsh
mountain known as the Devils Kitch-
en-, has drawn attention" says the
Dundee Advertiser, ito the curious
but seemingly universal practice of
past times in naming peculiar natural
formations after his satanic majesty.
1t is scarcely an exaggeration to say
that hardly a county in the British
Isles is without some place or thing
with the designation Devil. All of
which prompts the thought that his
satanic majesty must be holder of
a considerable amount of property on
this terrestrial globe. The DEVILS
Punch Bowl, the DEVILS Bellows. the
DEVILS Beef Tub, the DEVILS Frying
Pan. the DEVILS Lake. the DEVILS
Dixie, the DEVILS Cauldron, are a few
instances which occur at random,
scattered about in various parts of tho
country"

YOUNG Adiutant General.

Adjutant General Percy Haly is not
only the youngest adjutant general in
the United States. but he has made a
wonderful record in bringing the state
guard up to a high standard of eff
cheney. In former years when the an
nual encampment came on, large
number in each company was found
to be without arms. uniforms or
blankets. as there was no strict rule
then to account for equipments. Gen.
eral Haly has worked INCREASINGLY to
familiarize himself with every detail
of his office. He has required the
state guard to live within the amount
appropriated each year for. his main
tenance.

Mrs. William Waldorf Aston.

London newspaper readers hear
much of William Waldorf Astor, but
little of his wife. a very charming
woman with touch of silver in her
hair that seems really to enhance her
good looks. Mrs. Astor is a very
handsome woman and can boast of
a fine complexion. Rather above mid
die height. she carries her diamonds
bravely and she has a magnificent col
lection. On great occasions she wears
a massive diamond crescent which is
much admired and her marquise ring
is so unusually large that even phleg-
matte people have been caught steal
ing surreptitious. if not envious,

Doctor Brigham Says
MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE
Lydia Il. RlHakhas,sIS
Vegetable Compound

The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is stimulant. not because it
is palliative. but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of themwould acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
DR.. S. c. Brigham, of Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass, writes
at gives me great pleasure to say that 1
have found Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound very eficacious, and often pre-
scribe it in my practice for female difficulties.
my oldest daughter found it very benef-
cial for uterine trouble some time ago, and my
youngest daughter is nov taking It for a fe-
male weakness, and is surely gaining in health
and strength.

cific in all diseases to which women are sub

off the serious consequences, and be
restored to perfect health and strength
by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound, and then write to Mrs
Pinkham, at Lynn. Mass, for further
free advice. No living person has had
the benefit of wider experience in
treating female ills. She has guided
thousands to health. Every suffering
woman should ask for and follow her
advice if she wants to be strong and

ARE MAKING STEADY PROGRESS.
The Only News From Other. Points Is
From Patterson, Where There Are
Four New Cases and Hospital Has
Been Opened at That Place. -.
New Orleans. Aug. 14.-omcial re

NEW SuD-lOCl Il
Total to date 49,. .163
New Orleans, Aug. 1.-THE days
record is something of an improve
ment of the day before, both as to new
cases and points of infection, and is
taken as an encouraging sign. A
large majority of the sub-foci are
above Canal street, one of them be-
ing at Carrollton. The proportion of
Italians is much larger than the day
before.
The fact that the surgeon, G. NJ.
Berry of the marine service is now
down with the fever has not damp
ened the ardor of his colleagues.
Those who have never had the fever,
while they take every possible precau-
ton against it, know that being
thrown continually into buildings
which may be harboring infected
mosquitoes, they run great deal of
risk of being bitten at one time or an
other. DR.. Berry, since his arrival
here ten days ago, has been working
right in the midst of the central foci
of infection. He had high fever to-
night, but his physical condition is
good and as he has youth on his side,
the chances are all in his favor.
The only news from other points in
the state is from Patterson. where
four new cases were reported. A hos
pital has been opened for the indi-
gent cases there. The total to date
is sc cases and no deaths.
New Orleans.-With Surgeon White
of the marine hospital service frankly
expressing no surprise at the increase
in the number of new cases of fever
and expecting that for some time to
come there will be large quota
brought to light daily, the people of
New Orleans have made up their
minds to await in patience the results
of the federal campaign which is now
fairly in swing. The life of a
stegomyia mosquito has not been
completely ascertained. but the fever
has made so much Roadway when it
was discovered and it has prevailed
so generally in the lower sections of
the city since then that there are
doubtless many of the insects which
have escaped the disinfecting crusade
launched against them and they may
be expected to transmit the disease
for some days longer at least. Up to
noon today dozen cases of fever had
been officially reported and the fact
that none of these were cases turned
in by the official inspectors but cases
submitted by the doctors themselves
was taken as an encouraging sign. DR..
White himself is much pleased with
the evidence of improvement in the
situation.
