Women at forty, or thercabouts, have
their future in their own HANDS, There
will he q change for the better or worue,
for the better il the system is purified by
such tonic as DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. d. Q. Wedding. of Hartford, KY,
writes as follows concerning the dim
culties which afflicted her:
was seriously i'll and was confined
to my bed for six or eight mouths in all.
during two years. l had chills, fever,
rheumatism. My stomach seemed al
ways too full, my kidneys did not act
freely, my liver was inactive, my heart
beat was very weak aud had dizziness
or swimming in my head and nervous
troubles
II was under the treatment Of several
different physicians but they all failed
to do me any good. After suffering for
two years l learned from an Arkai,sas
friend about the merits of DIR. Williams'
Pink Pills and l decided that I would
try them. The very first box / took
made me feel better and when / had
taken four boxes more i wns entirely well,
weighed fifteen pounds more than when
i began, resumed my household duties.
aud have since continued in tho best OF
health. l have recommended DIR. VIII
liams' Pink Pills to many people on ac-
count OF what they did for me, and feel
that cannot praise them too strongly"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills restored Mrs.
Wedding to health because they actually
make new blood and when the blood is
i'll full vigor every function of the body
is restored, because the blood carries to
every organ, every muscle, every nerve,
the necessary ynourishment. Any woman
who is interested in the cure of Mrs. Wed.

LYING.

Dr. Alfred Gordon, of Jefferson Medi- cal College, says that a confirmed habit of purposeless lying, when present in an adult, is true disease" Tn young children 1t is due to errors of percep- ton and misinterpretation," the nat ural accompaniments of "a life full of creative imagination and free from in hibition." Vanity, moral perversity, deception of the kind indicated, says pr. Gordon, are symptoms which should be looked upon with suspicion and as manifestations of the so-called moral insanity and he urges alienists to educate the public opinion along these lines, that "in the name of justice" legal errors may be corrected where responsibility is recognized in indiyid- uals who are not responsible for their crimes"
 This looks reasonable, and will per- haps go until some other reasonable theory is put forward to upset it. Meanwhile the purposeful lying which is not a disease will continue to be more or less conspicuous. And if all men arc liars of one kind or another where will truth be found?

4 HoRsE,s NERVOUS pnosrsAr1oS

Those who own good horses well know that horses have nervous sys- tems, and they will be pleased with the decision in the case of Rives vs. Wood. Rives is well known in coach ing and horse show circles. He was exercising his coaching four in Central Park, New York, when St. John Wood, wealthy automobile owner drove his machine against Riyes' rear leader, sweeping the animal from his feet. Neither the jolt from the car nor the ensuing fall produced any serious bruise upon the horse, but he was so scared by reason of the accident that his usefulness for harness was ended forever He became, in the language of one of the witnesses, Hike a woman with nervous prostraton and any unus- ual noise caused him to bolt, thereby making him unsafe and no account for ulFihS' ml' INlFeS SuSu oH lHe grounds of rulning his horse, and though it is admitted that no physical injury could be discovered the court agreed with him that he was entitled to the amount claimed by way of dam- ages aecruing because of the changed disposition of the animal.
 Why not? When valuable horse is made unsafe to drive it Is good-sized loss to the owner thereof, and if it. can be shown that the horse was spoil ed as MT. Riyes' horse was the spoiler ought to be made to pay for it,

Other Valuable Babies.

 John D. Rockefeller III is worth more millions than any other baby in the World.-Daily Paper. She isn't worth a fortune and she hasn't
 any stocks. Her wealth is all in little shoes and
 pinafores and frocks, In little rings of curling hair and big
 blue, laughing eyes, In leaves and grass and buds and flow
 CTS and bees and butterflies But when she comes in tired from play
 and crawls up on my knee She's worth hundred millions to her
 mother and to me. She sits among her dolls and toys and
 doesn't seem to care If wealth is all in rosy cheeks and locks
 of curly hair She toddles up to me and like an artful
 fairy clips A coupon bearing love sfrom off the
 sweetness of her lips, And when she puts her arms around
 my neck and zoos in g1ee She's worth uncounted millions to her
 mother and to me. And when she's in her crib at night and
 daintily tucked in The wealth of Croesus couldn't buy the dimple in her chin. And as she blinks her roguish eyes to play at peek-a-boo She chuckles me a fortune with each
 archly spoken goo. And though she has no fortune, l am sure you will agree, She's a fortune. more than money to her inothsf TRd to me.

The Standard Life Insurance ponc,
To Editor of the Journal ana Courier:

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 One of the New York dailies pub lished recently what purported to be a copy of the Standard Policy which the Armstrong Committee has recommend ed for legislative action at Albany.
 On examination, the proposed policy, while it embodies many good sugges- tions with regard to details, is nothing but slightly modified form of the Limited Payment Life Pol- icy which all the companies are alrea- dy issuing, and some of them are issu. ing even simpler and more equitable forms of it than is provided for in the one under consideration. Forasmuch then, as 1t is seriously proposed to set up this form of life insurance policy and make it the Standard form, 1t is both timely and fair to consider the wisdom of the proposition Is the Whole Life" policy in any form, whether 1t is to be paid for in a limited number of annual payments or other wise, a wise, economical policy for any one?

SOME REAL OPTLMISM.

This has long been the most blessed country on the face of the earth, and now we are told that in one highly im- portant respect it is safe from some of the calamities that have hitherto oc- casionally befallen it. The national sec retary of agriculture asserts that there will be no more failures of crops in this country of sufficient magnitude to create disaster, much less famine There may, and probably will be-" he says, poor crops in certain counties, and I will not say the crops this year will be as large as last year, but I re- peat, we will not have what can be called crop failures. The reasons which the secretary gives for this belief are that farming is fast being reduced to a science, if it may not be said that it has reached that stage already. Scientific methods now prevail. Deep blowing, soil investigation, seed selec- ton, improved machinery, all combine to assure the farmers at harvest time of fair reward for their toll and out lay
 This is hopeful and reads well. If 1t turns out to be true the stock market will lose one of its best aids to busi- ness. But perhaps 1t will not turn out to be true. Perhaps good crops are not always within the reach of the most scientific farmers.

THEY DON'T ALL WoRK.

Not all the inventions work. Not long ago the name of Herr Szepanik was almost as well known in Austria as
 that of Edison is in New York. Half a dozen years ago he was an obscure
 schoolmaster in Galicla. Then it began to be whispered abroad that he had inventions which could not fail to effect revolutions in some of the most inn
 portant industries in life. He was said to have solved the problem of weaving in natural colors by a complicated elec- trical contrivance, to have made rail- road accidents impossible by system infallibly preventing collisions, and to have invented machine for exploding mines and shells at any distance, be- sides many other ingenious life-saving and death-dealing methods, One of his latest productions was silk shirt that would stop rife bullet. To exploit all these marvels there was organized a limited company, which lavished money on experiments, which in the end prov ed as futile as they were expensive.
 Herr Szepanik was actually relieved from military service in order that he might uninterruptedly pursue his stud ies. Soon, however, the resources of the company were exhausted, after it had spent nearly half million of dol lars, and it went into liquidation, the only assets being the patents. These were put up at auction the other day but only three persons were present, and they were shareholders anxious to | see what they might expect to recover. So the auctioneer was obliged to de-

A radical change has been made by Secretary Taft in his approval of the recommendations of the General Staff that the 'commissary general of the army hereafter purchase bake ovens field ranges, field bread ovens, camp kettles and mess pans, which have been for years bought under contract by the quartermaster general The latter off, cial proposed the transfer of authority but the commissary general pointed out to the Secretary that the subsistence department should purchase the articles which are used in the preparation of food, just as it now buys subsistence stores. There has been more or less de- lay in acquiring these ranges and uten- sils, and Secretary Taft decided that it was in the interest of a businesslike ad- ministration to have the subsistence officers buy the ranges and ovens which they use in garrison and in the field.
