Meet Painless Death.
There is a summer occupation in
the West" said the travelling man,
that has proved profitable for the
last three years, and many men are
now getting ready to drop their other
work and take II up, for the occupa-
ton of a fly charmer pays s. a day to
a man with a high-class clientele. II
is said that several enterprising west
erners are going to Introduce their
queer occupation into Gotham this
summer.
I'm his business the fly charmer Is
armed with canvas fan about four
feet square. With this he slowly
drives the swarms Of flies from the
attic OF the house down through every
floor, never missing a fy, and accum-
ulating the insects in every apartment
visited. Every room In his wake is
Immediately closed to guard against
any homesick flies that might try to
get back to their old quarters.
"As the buzzing swarm In front of
the immense fan accumuates they
follow their leader, much like a
swarm OF bees, until they are finally
whisked into a small unused room,
where their conqueror sets fire to
some smoky preparation that soon
sends them off TO a land where there
are no bald heads to tickle, no soup
to drown in and no danger of untime-
ly burial in the table butter."--New

There had been no fire in the house

The reason for 1t all probably lies in
the fact that the eggs were placed in

Relic Of Revolutionary Hero.

DR.. G. b. Holt, of Manchester, N

longed to Matthew Thornton, one OF
the signers Of the declaration of in.
dependence. On one side there is the
emblem Of the blue lodge of Masonry
while on the other is seen the symbol
of the chapter. II is not recorded any
where that Mr.. Thornton ever Joined
the Masons. but, as there is no doubt
that the charm was his, 1t is thought
that he may have gone into the order
while in the revolutionary army, as
did Washington and many others.

above all. woman who has had
more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases of
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been 60
ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from woman of such expert
ence. especially when it IL absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con-
fdence of women. and every testimo-
NAL letter published is done SO with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel. of 412 North 54th
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Over year ago wrote you letter asking
advice, as had female ills and could not
carry a child to maturity. received your
kind letter OF instructions and followed your
advice. | am not only a well woman in con-
sequence, but have beautiful baby girl. l
wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as you have done 80
much for me-"
Just as surely rs Mrs. Seydel was
cured, will Lydia L. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form Of
female ills.
No other medicine in all the world
has such record of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia +. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound. Therefore no
prudent woman will accept any substi-
tute which druggist may offer.

Use of Tobacco by Minors.

The use of tobacco by children, It's
causes and prevention Is discussed
in the Medical Summary.
Whilst most states have laws forbid.
ding the sale of tobacco to minors, 1t
is notorious fact that such laws are
universally ignored. The parent,
teacher and physician are to blame.
The parent. that he does not thor
oughly train his child; the teacher,
that he does not better supervise the
conduct of his pupils: the doctor, in
that he does not warn the parent,
who perhaps errs himself
School boys may be seen any day
on their way to school with books un-
der their arms, and a chew of tobacco
or cigarette in their mouths. DC.
casionally little girls may be observed
indulging in the seductive cigarette
on the streets. What will be the in
evitable results? The best that could
be hoped would be numerous tobacco
users, but worse might be feared, and
very much worse imagined.
The evil is evident. and the remedy
is provided. but law is useless till en-
forced on violation. The dealer will
not obey it till public sentiment de-
mands it; the child does not choose to
submit to it: the parent is negligent;
the pupil is Indifferent or silent; and
what is left for the child's salvation
but action upon the part of the guard
ians Of humanity. II we act, we move
thankless. The parent will not appre-
ciate; the dealer will be made an
enemy; and the children will hate us
as they become men. Pastor and
priest. lawyer and laymen will sneer
II we attempt to enforce the laws.
Even but a few of our own body poll
tic may be depended upon to act, eth
er by precept or concerted movement.
Few physicians are even good enough
politicians to ask a councilman or rep
resentative to vote upon measure.
The effort against the evil is necessa-
rily. for the time, along the lines of
individual effort To do good. we
must practice. act, and preach. II
our smoking" friends will close their
eyes while putting pipe or cigar, they
will find they cannot tell when they
have fire" What foolishness, to
spend money and waste health to
watch smoke curl. Horace Greeley de-
fined cigar as "a roll of tobacco with
fire at one end and a fool at the 9TH
er." and We think him more than
half right. II the use of tobacco by
the adult be such idiocy, what shall
we say of its consumption by the
minor?

Mother Cat Kills Pun

A pug was killed in a duel with a cat
with which he once was apparently on
good terms. The rupture in their re-
lations occurred several days ago with
the arrival of some kittens. The dog
frequently went to the box where the
old cat and her little ones were, and
every time he poked his nose over the
edge to see what the youngsters
looked like. tho mother manifested her
displeasure by splitting at him. The
dog was too discrete at first to monkey
with the kittens without the cats con-
sent and he generally retired grace
fully. But his curiosity got the better
of him at last and he decided to in.
spect the funny looking little things
in the bottom of the box. Puss caught
him at it, and something happened.
She sprang at him and fastened her
claws in his jaws. The dog was too
taken back by the suddenness of the
attack to put up a good fight. He did
the best he could under the circam
st.. ces. but the cat soon finished 1:m

You can see how far gone. Sammy

Il was kind of scared. too. but the
idea of leavin' him there with his
mouth open came to me every once in
a while while l was walking those ten

Corns and Bunions.

These are not confined to the sick
room, but they are, nevertheless, in
conveniences for which natural meth
ods affords In many cases great relief.
The first measure to be adopted is the
removal of pressure. Both bunions
and corns are the result of undue
pressure. This may be accomplished
by suitable adjustment of the shoe
or other foot covering in many cases,
but sometimes it is necessary to ap-
ply what are known as bunion-plas-
tiers and corn-plasters. By this means
the pressure may be made to fall upon
the sound and non-sensitive tissues
lying around and outside of the affect
ed parts.
1nflammatory conditions, whether
affecting the buniop or corn, may be
marvelously relieved by proper appli-
cations. If the corn or bunion is pain
full, it should be soaked in hot water
for fifteen or twenty minutes, or until
