Volcanic Eruptions.

The ancient Romans worshiped vol
canoes as the god of fire. From this
gods name our word volcano comes
There are three classes Of volcanoes:
active, internationally active and ex-
tinct. There Is a volcano called
Stromboli in the Mediterranean, which
is one of the active class. It's fiery
glow makes beacon light for the
sailors. Examples of the second class
are Etna and Vesuvius. These vol
canoes are like chimneys through
which the powerful gases that are in
the earth escape. If these gases could
not find some outlet, 1t might mean
total destruction to the layer of the
earth on which we live.
1t is not definitely known how many
volcanoes there are, but the number
Of them is supposed to be more than
three hundred. Two thirds of that
number are on the islands. About one
hundred and fourteen of these are in
America.

The wonderful power of Lydia E.

cause it is a stimulant, not because it
is palliative, but simply because 1t Is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to net directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts Of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia E. Pinkhnm's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of them would acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female Ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follow
ing letter proves 1t.

The Coffee Debate.

Please remember we never say ordl-

in store for the man or woman VINO
persists in its use when nature pro.
tests. by heart weakness, stomach ana
bowel troubles, kidney disease. weak
eyes, or general nervous prostratlon.
The remedy is obvious. The drug caf-
feline, contained in all ordinary coflee,
must be discontinued absolutely or the
disease will continue in spite or any
medicine and will grow worse.
1t is easy to leave off the old fasn-
toned coffee by adopting Postum 1000
Coffee, for in it one finds a pleasing
hot breakfast or dinner beverage that
has the deep seal brown color, chang
ing to rich golden brown when good
cream is added. When boiled long

that of rank Rio coffee but very like

II the disease has not become too

of the trouble is removed and the celu-

II you have any doubt as to the
cause of any ache or all you may have,
remember the far reaching kilograms
of a hurt nervous system travel from
heel to head, and it may be well WORTH
your while TO make the experiment OF
leaving off coffee entirely for 10 days
and using Postum in Its place.
You will probably gather some good
solid facts, worth more than a gold
mine, for health can make gold and
sickness lose it. Besides there's al
the fun. for it's like continuous inter'
