The Kansas City Star thinks that
Europe's notion that we are degen-
Grating because OF recent revelations
will soon appear to be wrong 1t says:
In due time Europe will see how far
the United States has surpassed the
Old World in giving full publicity to
national evils as the most effective
means of Graduating them. 1t will
see in this publicity and the popular
purpose to advance business, politi-
cal and social standards. not a moral
degeneration" but an unusually high
moral tone among the people. It will
see that Roosevelt is not fighting
graft and corruption "alone." but that
he has the masses Of the people back

These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed life of suffering or ssrious

The never failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkhsms veg-

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
Restored health has meant 40 much to me
that l cannot help from telling about it Tor
the sake OF other suffering women
For long time suffered untold agony
with female trouble and irregularities,
which made me a physical wreck and no one
thought would recover, but Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me well and strcng and
feel 1t my duty to tell other suffering womsa
what . splendid medicine it is"
For twenty-five years Mrs. Pinkham,

has under her direction. and since her
decease. been advising sick women free
Of charge. Her advice is free and

ENGINE SMALLER THAN A FLY

Tiny Tim is the name of the small

common match. 1t takes 120 such
engines to weigh l ounce, almost 2,O0C
to weigh a pound, and more than 3.
100000 to weigh a ton.
The engine bed and stand are OF
gold. The shaft runs in hardened and
ground steel bearings inserted in the
gold bed
THESE bearings are counter bored
from the inside to form a self-oiline
bearing The fly wheel has a steel
centre and arms, with gold rim,

weighs l grain
The cylinder is of steel with octag
onal base highly polished. The stroke
is 1872 of an inch; bore. 300 of an
inch. Seventeen pieces are used in
the construction of this engine.
The feed is through the gold base
which is hollow. The speed Of this
engine Is 5000 revolutions per minute,
When running 100 per second no mo
ton is visible to the eye, but it makes
note like the noise OF a nosouito
caused by the vibrating piston rod.
The power is 1-49S,OOO of one
horse power. Compressed air is used
TO run it; and it may be of interest
to note that the amount required ia
