A Rich Mans Sport.

Mr.. C. K. G. Billings, the owner OF
the fast horse Lou Dillon, is as much
interested in automobiles as he is, in
horses, and has the largest private
garage in America, says the March
Worlds Work. He has thirteen differ
ant cars and uses two stables for
their storage, paying $500 a month
rent. He mas a complete workshop
with lathes and other equipment for
making repairs, and also an electric
charging plant which costs about ST.
coo a month to operate. Every month
he spends another $50 for lighting
and 1925 for wages to mis- head chat
feur. There are also three other
chaufeurs who get $3.50 each, and
two washers to keep the cars clean
who get $50 a month apiece. He
spends also every month about $500
for tires, 500 for new parts, $500 for
his chauffeurs' clothes and food, and
large sums for gasoline and oil. It
is estimated that his thirteen auto
biles are worth 500, 900 and cost from
$4,000 to 10000 a year to keep In
commission. Automobililg, OF course,

sport when carried on so layishly.

Analysis of the excreta thrown out
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate of potash,
separating it from its heavier compan-
ion, albumen, and plain common sense
teaches that this elemental principle
must be introduced into the body anew
each day, if we would replace the loss
and rebuild the brain tissue.
We know that the phosphate of pot
ash, as presented in certain field
grains, has an affinity for albumen and

the brain can be built. 1t will not In

A GARDEN

~ Potash is one of the essentials for the
Earden, and there is no better way to
apply it than in wood ashes. Even
leached ashes are better than nothing,
though they should be applied in large
quantities. Muriate of potash, sui.
plate of potash and kainit are three
common forms in which potash is sold.
All are good. Ashes may be applied at
most any time. If put on the ground
before it freezes they will be taken NJ
by the soil and be available for mex
spring. The winter is Il good time tc
~top-dress the garden with potash if i
is level enough so that there will be nc
loss from washing. The small fruits
should be treated literally, and the re.
suit will be an improvement in bott
quality aud quantity.

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after Knowledge, and above
al, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
;thetic nature.
In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
theirSearly married life was marked by
p~rospeEtSsand happiness. They had
four children, three sons and q
daughter, =
In those good old fashioned days it
was common FOR mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
p~erience many Of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature SO
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-

ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, As a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

NEW CURE FOR PNEUMONIA
Good Effects Reported from Exposure
to Cold, Pure Air.

A good deal has been heard in the
last few year about the beneficial
influences of cold, fresh air on con-
sumptive patients. This sort of treat
ment, in the right hands, gives bet
ter results than any other, though 1t
is usual to accompany it with hearty
feeding. And now the same story is
being told about victims from another
disease whose progress is much more
rapid and which for some time has
caused more deaths than consnmp-
ton.
DR.. John Joseph Dunn, of the Ford
ham Hospital, in this city, reported
last week that he had put thirty pa
tients out in tents since November
1, and only one had died. Even In
that case the result might have been
due to complications with another dis
ACKNOWLEDGMENT meningitis. 1t Is
now announced that the same sort OF
treatment has been tried with sue
cess at the Presbyterian Hospital,
in New York. So we'll pleased are
the managers that they are going to
increase their facilities for admins
tering it. The patients, who are
mostly children, are put out On the
roof of the building; but better prov1-
sion than is now available is needed
there. DR.. Fisher, the superintendent
says:
I'VE are not gong to put up any
glass Enclosures IN the roof, for that
would not be outdoor treatment. We
are simply going to remodel some OF
the roofs, put in floors and arrange
awnings so that the patients, Whlle
remaining in the open air, may be
moved to get the u and be, sheltered
from harmful winds.
We can accommodate perhaps a
dozen children on the roof now. When
the alterations are complete we Will
be able to provide for twice that
number, and will have more room IN
which to move them around. Now
we are only able to take children on
the roof, because the door will not
allow beds with persons in them TO
be moved there. Children car be
picked up and carried without any
serious results. When we make the
changes we will be able to take adult
patients on the roof. Now we treat
them by moving them into small
rooms where the windows may be
kept open, but we have not enough
rooms to accommodate all of the adult
pneumonia patients in that way.
All cases of pneumonia which have
been treated with this open air treat
ment have responded so finely that
the doctors believe they have made
a great step forward. Of course, 1t
has been tried for SO brief a time
that we have not compiled any sta
tistics on the subject, but we are keep
ing all information about the cases
in great detail with a view to compll-
ing statistics that will be of great
value to the medical professionalism

Cairo. New ard Old.

While modern Cairo is beautiful

Value of Steel Rods in Fishing.

The steel rods, so much in vogue
for boat fishing, and the oldest OF them
not dating back much more than
two decades, have their merits and
dement's. theoretically they should
be splendid for casting. But, in fact,
for some obscure reason, they have
a strange lack of the whip" quality
that filings the line far, accurately,
and lightly. This all but disqualifies
them for trout. On the other hand,
their wonderful strength and power
in bend make them-when of good
uuality-fne rods for boat fishing.
They tire a f%our-pound black bass III
nalf the time of their rivals in bam-
boo or Lakewood, and take up slack
with a strong, automatic action that
saves many a big fish. Their worst
trait is the hidden flow which no eye
can detect in the buying, and which
may part the rod at the first days
fishing. l have a steel rod now SIX
teen years old, tested on hundreds OF
big bass, and which has broken but
once. and then by corrosion, which a
little watchfulness would have cured.
On the other hand, another steel rod
of mine has broken four times within
the last eighteen months, two tips
parting in the same number of days
and both in striking small fish. But
if each steel rod carries thus an IN
visible lottery ticket, the price for
the risk is not high; and the graceful
and invariable curve which never sue
cumbs to wind, weather, or exposure
ON fresh water-lends the steel rod
a special charm that partly offsets It's
considerable infirmities OF temper

RUNNING SORES ON LIN BS.
Little Girls Obstinate Case OF Eczema
Mother Says: "Cuticura Remedies
Household Standby"

"Last year, after having my little girl
treated by a very prominent physician for
an obstinate case of eczema, | r~esorted to
the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous re-
lief afforded that we discarded the physi-
clans prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and
Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with
the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs
were covered with running sores. In
about six weeks we had her completely
well, and there has been no recurrence of
the trouble. We find that the Cuticura
Remedies are a valuable household stand

twenty-five dollars to come up IN the
