A Centennial Celebration.

The people of Fayette, Ohio, recent
" showed their appreciation Of the
favor conferred on them in having in
their community fine old lady who
has rounded out the full measure Of
her hundred years. The centennial Of
Mrs. Amelia Dubois was celebrated
by hundreds of people who met to do
her honor. The public schools were
closed, that the children might join
in the celebration. In charge of their
teachers, they marched to the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Dubois and escorted
them to the opera house, where an in
teresting program, in which many
prominent people of the neighborhood
took part, was carried out.
One pleasing feature was the pres
entation by the children of quantity
of flowers the money for which had
been collected among themselves.
The interest shown in the occasion
by the people of Fayette and surround
ing towns is evidence of the high
esteem in which this remarkable old
lady is held. Every faculty of her
mind is alert and responsive, and her
brown eyes still retain their attract
i've sparkle. She is an accomplished
needlewoman, and still spends much
time in preparing dainty gifts for her
friends. Mr.. Dubois, to whom Mrs.
Dubois was married sixty-one years
ago, is no less remarkable than his
wife. The unusually healthy and &C.
tive old age,lof this fine couple is a
testimony to the value of their simple,
natural, peaceful life of activity. Com
menting upon this, the Fayette Review
says:

A sIauohterhouse Victim.

The papers recently reported the
death at Cripple Creek, Colo, of a
woman who, three years ago, while
visiting the slaughterhouse of the Ar
mour Packing company in Chicago,
was completely paralyzed on one side
as a result of the shock produced by
the sight of the terrible tragedies
which are constantly being enacted in
that great killing establishment. This
victim of slaughterhouse horrors is
only one of many thousands who meet
their death through the slaughter
houses every year. 1t may not be
said, indeed, that the death can be
traced so directly and Immediately to
the slaughterhouse as in this case, but
the multitudes of men and women
who die of equity disorders, rheuma-
tism and other maladies resulting
from uric-acid poisoning might enjoy
many years of life were 1t not for the
deadly dose OF uric acid and other poi
sons derived from the products OF the
reimbursement eaters disor-
ders, among which must be included
trichina and tapeworm, tuberculosis
and possibly cancer as well as those
which have been traced directly to
uric acid.

MEaShion" Notes.

Don't wear thin-soled shoes at any
season of the year. One may take
cold from chilling Of the feet as the
result of wearing thin-soled shoes in
walking over a cold pavement, even
when the pavement is perfectly dry.
Don't adjust the clothing to suit the
season of the year only, but adapt 1t
to the weather conditions of each par.
ticular day.
Don't wear high-heeled shoes, nor
pointed shoes, nor narrow:soled shoes,
nor tight shoes, nor low shoes. Don't
wear slippers, except in the house.
Shoes must have broad, reasonably
thick soles, plenty of room for the
toes, low heels. Rubber heels are a
great comfort.
Don't support the clothing by bands
tight about the waist.
Don't construct the limbs by means
of elastic bands to support the stock
ings. Support all clothing from the
shoulders, not by bands, but by a
properly constructed waist free from
bones, on the union" plan.

CHANGED It's Mind.

AS mamma was preparing her boy
for breakfast she said: "How many
cakes can Eugene eat for his break
fast this morning?"
81 can eat four, Mamma"
Seated at the table, his appetite
seemed to have materially diminished
for he ate only one Of the cakes
Mamma thought you were going to
eat four cakes this morning. What is
the matter?"
"Well," said the fve-year-old, my
stomach changed its mind"
It occurs to us that the wise mans
stomach often changes its mind" as
in this case, but too often that much
abused organ is so pressed upon as to
be convinced against its will, though
of the same opinion still. and, yield
ing to the demands Of an abnormal
appetite, finds itself wishing the real
man had been master over the lust OF
the flesh.

Since the attention of the Chicago
authorities was so forcibly called to

eating.
The rapid growth of tuberculosis
among prisoners in the Joliet, ILL.,, pen
ttentiary, attended by marked in
crease in the prison death rate, has
aroused the officials to action. An in
vestigation and reform is to be insti-
tuted by the State Board Of Health.
The members of this board do not
deny that under the present conditions
all efforts to combat the disease are
hopeless. Better general sanitary con-
-ditions must be established or 1t will
be impossible to prevent the spread OF
tuberculosis to all the present prison
.ers and to all who may be so unfortu-
nate as to be sentenced later.
This is another instance Of the state
forcing its citizens to live under con-
ditions which mean almost sure death.
1t Is surprising in this day OF enlight-
eminent that the state should allow its
citizens to live, voluntarily, in unsani-
tary homes. Yet it does. The resi-
dents of the slum and tenement dis
tricts are dying from faulty santa
ton and bad hygiene. But more the
state forces some others to spend
from one to ten years in dark cell
from which they so often come, strick-
EN- by the great white plague
wrecks of their former selves and
continual expense to the community.
With the message of prevention
and cure" of consumption in every
paper let the state not forget its pris-
oners who must silently suffer what
ever fate is decreed for them.

Hothouse Plants.

The following abstract from the
Cincinnati Lancet-Clinic in regard to
one of the worst evils Of modern child
life is very timely:
Refinement in matters Of social
life proceeds hand in hand with re-
finement in other lines as civilization
advances. From the standpoint of the
physician and Of the anthropologist,
it is a question whether the physical
side of mankind Is improving or de-
generating.
The method of bringing up chill
dren, especially in the families of the
well-to-do, is too often serious men,
ace to the childs health and develop
ment. Too much indoor life, too
much supervision, too little freedom
of motion AMI will is undoubtedly the
cause of the many weaklings seen in
the families of the wealthy. Such chill
dren have the characteristics OF hot
house plants.
The remedy is, of course, to do away
with the surplus care and attention
bestowed on the child, to let the child
do more for itself, have more free
dom, more fresh air, more play with
other children. Foods and medicines
are only temporary helps for child
weakness.
Nature is it's own best doctor, and
in the end can take care of "hothouse
children" if fond parents will only
give her the chance.

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How Woman War Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life wretched for

That Had Made Life wretched for
Many Years
The immediate causes Of headaches
vary, but most Of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In an@mia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are imper.
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu.
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
IN the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women in particular have found
these pills All unfailing relief in head
aches caused by an@mia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said: "Dr.
Williams Pink Pills did me q great deal
Of good. Ihad headache nearly all the
time. After had taken three boxes Of
these pills I became entirely WELL"
"HOw long had you suffered ?" she
was asked.
"For several years. I can't tell the
exact date when my illness began for it
came Oh by slow degrees. I had been
going down hill for many years"
"Did you have any other ailments?"
"Iwas very weak and sometimes I had
fever. My liver and kidneys were af-
fected as well as my head.

he'd take copy if she could change a
