ALASKAN CABLE IS BUSY.
Line to Be Duplexed and 200 More
Miles Added.

Few people who have not been over
the ground have any conception of the
wonderful development of Alaskan in
terests and trade. For instance, the
commercial receipts from the Alaskan
cable and telegraph lines for the
month of July amounted to $4,000.
The rapid increase in the demands
upon the system will be met by the
government by duplexing the cable.
The cable ship Burnside, which is
to install the duplexing apparatus at
the Alaskan end of the cable, will
carry about 200 miles of new cable
for the extension Of the service to
Ketcfikan. This extension will be
effected by tapping the lines from Sit
ka to Juneau at Cape Fanshaw. From
that point a branch line will be ex-
tended down the Wrangel, then to
Hadley on Prince of Wales island, and
then to Ketchikan, which is only 60
miles from Fort Simpson, the English
town which is to be the terminus OF
the Grand Trunk and Pacific railroads.
1t Is believed that this additional
200 miles of cable will largely increase
the cable receipts, az it taps a coun-
try rich in mines, fishery and canning
industries and greatly in need of daily
communication with the United
States. 1t is expected that this new
line will be completed by November 1.

OF the big house opposite opened. A
young man carrying little white fig

Oh, joy! It was her little mistress!
Her Uncle Jack had her in his arms
and they were coming straight to the
park. If she could only call, wave her
hand or do something to make them
see her. But she could only sit still
and watch them as they looked under
the benches and trees. She heard her
little mistress say:
"Oh, Uncle Jack, I wanshs my

Never mind, sweetheart, we'll find
her all right. You must never go off

Just then the wind did Susy a good

even waved her little legs in the air.
There's my Shushy, Uncle Jack!
Oh, Shushy! Shushy!"
Susy felt moist kisses all over her
face, while soft, warm little arms
hugged her tightly.

NO REsT'NleHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair
Began to Fall Out-Wonderfu Re-
suit from Cuticura Remedies.

3"About the latter part of July my
whole body began to Itch. I did not
take much notice of it at first, but it
began to get worse all the time, and
then began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds Of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum
ors; but became worse all the time.
My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night. just as soon as I would get
in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep it irritated, and it
was not long before / could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and I
did, and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks I would take a hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura
Ointment to my whole body; and
kept getting better, and by the time
fused four boxes of Cuticura was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out. D. E. Blankenship, 319

SUSY'S ADVENTURE,
Startling Story Of Dolls Desertion
and Final Rescue.

1t was growing very dark in the
park. Under the big bush where Susy
sat the shadows were so black that
the policeman walked past without
seeing her. Her little arms hung
down very straight, and her big,
black eyes looked up 20 where, be-
tween the tree-tops, she could see
little twinkling spots all over the sky
and big silver ball with face in

never been out at night before, so she
did not know what these beautiful,
shiny things were.
A firefy came along and flashed his
lantern in her face. Mamma Firefly
and he were out hunting for their lit
tie ones. They were very sad, for they
were afraid some of the bad children
who played in the park evenings had
caught them and put them in bottles
or killed them.
"Is that child?" asked Mamma
Firefly, fearfully
mo, it's another victim,' answered
Papa Firef1y, as he flew away. Susy
wondered what he meant
Then hop toad came and sat on
her feet. She asked him politely to
get off, but he wouldn't He said she
looked exactly like a girl who had
poked him with stick, so he was
going to sit on her. He was very
friendly and told Susy lot of things.
He said he could only come out at
night because the children were so
bad. They stoned him and one boy
threw him into the fountain He said
he guessed that boy would have some
warts soon. He stayed long time,
but after a while, in the tree near
them, something began to call-"tu-
whoo, tu-Whoo, tu-whoo." The toad
trembled, hoped off, and said he
guessed he'd better go. Susy wished
she could hop so she could go with
him.
She wasn't afraid, and if she could
only lie down and shut her eyes she
knew she could go to sleep. She won

forgotten her. The new nurse had
given her a kick under the bush the
evening before, and Susy had heard
her say to another nurse that Miss
Marjory shouldn't play with that old
thing again if she could help it. Susy
felt very sad when she thought of this.
She was almost sure that her little
mistress loved her. But perhaps now
that she had new doll she did not
care for her any more. The new doll

pretty lace dress, hat, parasol and lit

little mistress had made them kiss

Susy knew she was getting old and
ugly. Her hair was very thin, because
Marjory combed and pulled it so
much. Her cheeks had lost their pret-
ty pink, for she was forced to take
many, many baths. She did not care
for any of these things if only her lit

All this so far was done freely, with

LOOSE teeth
Made Sound by Eating Grape.Nuts.

Proper food nourishes every part of
the body, because Nature selects the
different materials from the food we
eat, to build bone, nerve, brain, mus
Gle, teeth, etc.
All we need is to eat the right kind
of food slowly, chewing it well-our
digestive organs take it up into the
blood and the blood carries it all
through the body, to every little nook
and corner.
If some one would ask you, rs
Grape-Nuts good for loose teeth?"

Ontario writes:
For the past two years have used

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
SO good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were steeped on the stove,
gradually filing gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired job
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
lily had saved enough money to COM

that time the growth and success Of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vege.

hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in it's manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful topre-
serve record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-received
careful study, and the details, includ
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since, are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent a vast collabora-
ton of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
| world.
With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her
daughter in law, the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction of the work when it's origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of a large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some az
capable as herself, 1o;i1 present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this greatwork, and
probably from the Office of no other
person have so many women been ad-
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is "Yours for Health"
freely given if you only write to ask
for it.
Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink

great medicine for women's ailments,
and the fitting monument to the noble
woman whose name it bears.
