Mrs. Chester Curry, Leader of ths
Ladies' Symphony Orchestra, 40 Sara
toga Street, East Boston, Mass, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham-
:" For eight years | was troubled with ex
treme nervousness and hysteria, brought on by
Irregularities. 1 could neither enjoy life nor
sleep nights; l was very irritable, nervous
and Respondent.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
81 dragged through nine years Of miserable
existence, worn out with pain and nervou g.
ness, until 1t seemed as though / should fly
| then noticed a statement of woman trou-
bled as l was, and the wonderful results she
derived from Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, decided to try it. did so, and
at the end Of three months l was a different
woman. My nervousness was all gone, was
no longer irritable, and my husband fell in

Whlskers Hung on Ground.

N White, brother of White, the sew
ing machine man of worldwide fame,
died at Beloit, Wis, recently. Mr..
White was a man of many peculiari-
ties. One of them was that he would
never trim his whiskers. His wills
kers were probably longer than those
OF any other man in the world, as they
would drag at least a foot on the
ground when he allowed them to hama
down.

SCherZO.


When the down is on the chin
And the gold CLEAN in the hair,
When the birds their sweethearts win
And champagne is in the air
Love is here, and Love Is there.
Love is welcome everywhere.
Summers cheek too soon turns thin,
Days grow brefer, sunshine rare
Autumn from his cannekin
Blows the froth to chase Despair;
Love is met with frosty stare.
Can not house meath branches bare.
When new red is in the rose
And new life is in the leaf,
Though Loves Maytime be as brief
AS a dragon-fy's repose,
Never moments come like those,
Be they Heaven or He'll; who knows?
All too soon comes Winters grief
Spendthrift Loves false friends tur
foes;
Softly comes Old Age, the thief
Steals the rapture, leaves the throeS,
Love his mantle round him throws
Thine to say Good by; it SHOWS

Light setback at first
1t seemed simple to turn Calcium Carbide into
Gasight that 600 different kinds of tanks" and
"Acetyene Machines" invented, patented, and
marx eted for the purpose, by about many different
people
Well, the thing to be expected certainly happened
invented and sold by people who knew about
7in5gdre than they did about GdS-making.
The Calcium Carbide was all right all the time,
but $50 of the machines for turning into Gas
all wrong all the time.
So Acetylene Gas got bad name though it is
clear enough that it deserved it at any time.
1t was like selling Wood StoveS to burn Hard Coal
in and then blaming the Goal for not burning
Lots of things happened to grievc the Owners of
these $50 makes of alleged "Acetylene Machines"
But very few accidents occurred from them in
the days of rank experiment and dense ignorance,
among Generator" Makers.
Of course, gun will go off unexpectedly, and
then, if the trigger be pulled by person who didn't
know it was loaded"
But, that's no fault of the Ammunition-is it?
Well finally the Insurance Companies got after
these $50 odd makes of "Acetylene Machines" that
wouldn't Acetyate, and the Insurance Board made an
investigation of all Generators that submitted to
them.
Then, out of the 600 odd Machines" patented,
only about 70 permitted" by the Insurance Board
to be used
