MIs Bessie Mns/ey

To be such q successful wife, to re
tain the love and admiration of her
husband to inspire him to make the
most of himself, should be woman's
constant study.
If a woman finds that her energies
are tagging, that she gets easily tired
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, Irregularities
or the blues, she should start at once
to build up her system by a tonic with
specific powers, such as Lydia l.. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound.
Following we publish by request Q
letter from young wife:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:
Ever since my child was born have suf-
fered. as hope few women ever have with in g..
hammation, female weakness, bearing down
pains. backache and wretched headaches. Ii
affected my stomach so | could not enjoy my
meals, and half my time was spent in bed.
Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made me a well woman, and feel so grateful
that am glad to write and tell you Of my
marvellous recovery. IL brought me health,
new life and vitality Mrs. Bessie Ainsley.
Gil South 10th Street, Tacoma, Wash.
What Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will
do for every sick and ailing woman.
If you have symptoms you don't UNI
derstand write TO Mrs. Pinkham,
daughter-in-law of Lydia e. Pinkham,
at Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free and
always helpful.

THE NEGRO QUESTION UP
Publishers Press1

Denver, July 17.-Aoout $4,000 Elks
and women accompanying them, in
attendance at the twentieth annual re-
union of the order, have registered at
the local headquarters and others
are still coming on every train. The
weather is superb, the city in gala
attire and all indications point to a
most enjoyable and memorable re-
union.
At the grand lodge business sessions
revision of the constitution Is one of
the most important matters to con-
slider. The order was established as
social organization, and good fell
lowship' was one Of the prerogatives
for membership. So rapid has been
the growth of the order that it is
found necessary to broaden it's scope
and place it on a more solid founda
ton.
A new ritual has been prepared,
which is said be so far superior
to the old that there is no question
Of its adoption.
Henry J. Darwood, member of the
Philadelphia delegation, will introduce
resolution condemning the use Of
the Elk badge by an organization of
negroes and recommending the adop-
ton of an official emblem. The en-
tire negro question will be thoroughly
gone over and it is expected that steps
will be taken to attempt to prevent
the colored organization using the
Elk head.

At THE THEATERS
Vaudeville at the Gennett.

Further extended comment on the
vaudeville dill that is being put on
at the Gennett this week is not nee
essary, as news of the most enterta-
lining nature of the program has
spread about the city and the result
is a widespread desire to see the
spectacular act by Miss Jeanette
Laurelle and all the other numbers
that are of such a nature that they
keep the bill well balanced. Special
interest attaches to the appearance
of the Great OnZos here this week
victims OF the recent earthquake in
California, in which they lost all their
possessions and have been working
TIER way back East. They speak in
/he highest terms of the treatment
they have received at the hands of
the railroads and others who have
been especially kind to them. They
are just now beginning to get on
their feet again financially but the
quality of their performance has not
been affected in the least by their cal
amity.

PLANETARY VITALITY.
Earthquakes Can Take Place Only On
Living Globes.


A moonquake is now unthinkable,
because the moon Is as dead as door.
nail. Our satellite Is "ever foreshad-
owing our own ultimate doom, like the
mummy at Egyptian banquets," but in
the meantime, if the Edinburgh Review
has correctly conceived the teachings
Of seismology, the inhabitants Of earth
may console themselves for the havoc
wrought through earthquakes by re-
fecting that they demonstrate the VI
tality OF our planet. In that distant
past when the moon actually quaked
there may some scientists declare
there must-have been forms OF anima-
ton upon its surface. Though the
moon, by reason Of its smaller size,
was bound TO lose its atmosphere, IL
must have taken millions OF years to
do so, and there may have been time
for the cycle OF life, from the primeval
germ up 10 sentlent beings and down
again to the hardest lingering plant
cells, to run it's full circle" The writer
In the Edinburgh Review continues to
develop his line OF thought:
Earthquakes are sign Of planetary
vitality. They would seem to be char
actcristic Of the terrestrial phase OF de-
velopmcDt Effete globes like the moon

"Onr globe Is by its elasticity kept

CATCHING TURTLES.
Methods Used by the Fishermen OF
the Tropics.

Turtles are always captured at night
and usually on moonlight ones. This
Is the time they go on the shore TO lay
their eggs. They select smooth,
sandy beach, dig holes in the sand, de-
poslt their eggs there and leave them
to be hatched by the heat Of the sand.
When the turtles are on shore for this
purpose hunters come upon them, and
they are easily overtaken, for turtles
are slow movers. The hunters have
not very strenuous undertaking. All
that is necessary TO be done is 70 turn
the turtles on their backs and leave
them until the next day, when they are
removed.
Another more curious way OF catch
Ing turtles is by fishing 10y the rcmora,
n fish found in the tropical waters. The
popular name of this fish and the one
by which the children Of those coun-
tries call them is the sucking fish. This
name is given to them on account of Il
disk on their heads, Ivy which they can
attach themselves 10 any smooth sur
face, like the side OF Il shark, n ship
or the shell OF turtle. This disk IL
like the soft leather suckers" that are
popular with schoolboys When this
fish has once attached himself to any
thing you can pull him to pieces rather
than force him to release his hold
Turtle hunters 60 In boats and carry
several of these rcmoras I'm tubs. When
they see a turtle and get near him the
sucker Is sent after him. He is held
by the ring on his tnil which in turn
Ia attached by stout cord, Soon the
fish Is securely fastened to the shell
OF the turtle. and turtle and fish are
hauled into the boat together. Once in
the air the remora loosens his hold and
Is dropped back into the tub TO rest
until another turtle Is sighted.-Wash-
ington Star.

EGYPTIAN CIVILIZATION.
Its Origin One of the UnsoIved Enig.
mas Of the World.

The origin OF Egyptian civilization
has been the enigma OF the world for
the past twenty-five centuries. Pre-
senting no historic or even mythic in
fancy, IL appears before the world at
once as highly civilized and organic
community centuries before Moses was
a boy Upon this subject Renan says,
Egypt has no archaic epoch, but sud
denly takes its place in the world in all
It's matchless magnificence, without ia
ther and without mother and as clean
apart from all evolution as If 1t had
dropped from the unknown heavens"
Would not an explanation at least feasi-
BILE be found in the hypothesis that II
received It's civilization from some
source no longer existing? Menes, the
first historic figure In its long line or
dynasties, the outlines Of whose per-
sonality loom up waverlngly indefinite

Early and Late En- asters.

Easter Sunday cannot happen earlier
than March 90 or later than April %,
but between these two dates it has
range OF thirty-hve days. At the time
OF the council of Nice, 323 A. d., 1t
was agreed by the representatives pres
ent that from that time forward Easter
should fall on the first Sunday after
the full moon occurring on or next
after March 2l, or, in other words, ION
the first Sunday after the first full
moon after the sun crosses the line
Since the above arrangement was
adopted by the great ecclesiastical
council referred to Easter has fallen
on March % and on every date be
tween that and April -, but 1t is only
after long intervals OF time that 1t oc-
ours on it's extreme dates. In 1SS6
Easter fell on April 20, its latest pos
slble date, an event which will not
again occur until the spring OF 1913.
The last time Easter fell on Its earliest
date was In 1918. This will not happen
again until after this century.

The THERMOMETERS Habit.

The clinical thermometer habit has
taken such hold on many persons
that one physician has forbidden his
patients to have them on pain of re-
fusing to treat them IL they disobey.
The clinical thermometer fiend is per-
son who keeps one OF these medical
registers in the house and the instant
that he. more often she. has a head
ache, real or imaginary, thrusts the
tube under her tongue and takes her
temperature. Finding ii varying one
millionth part OF n degree from normal,
she thinks she is about to have some
deadly illness, packs of TO bed and
sends for the doctor.

Failure.

every frequently" says New York
lawyer, "thcre is an element of uncon-
sclous humor In the findings of a jury.
To my mind, the best | ever heard In
this connection was the verdict brought
in by coroner's jury In Michigan,
who were called upon to pass upon the
case of the sudden death Of merchant
in Lansing.
"rhe finding was as follows: We,
the jury, find from the physicians

duced by business failure, which was
caused by speculation failure, which

The work of laying the water pipes
on Pocasset avenue Is finally under
way. The long wait between the time
the big four feet pipes were placed in
the cutters and the elevated trolley
use by the contractor put in position
in the street, almost gave the people
in that section the idea that the job
had been forgotten entirely. A street
is for the use of the public, and should
not be numbered with a contractors
apparatus any longer than is absolutely
necessary. Possibly the two or three
weeks of this delay was in some way
required, but il hardly seems SO to the
novice. People have some rights be-
sides the right Of paying taxes and the
clambering over four feet water pipes
in order to get into their houses is an
advantage that almost anyone would
gladly dispense with.

Govern Yourself.

Men and women often say they can't
govern themselves, That is simply ad-
mitting they have defects of character
which are their masters. They ought
to make effort and see II they are not
mistaken. The worst effects Of lack of
self control are on the health. 1t nj
lows every kind of bad habit in eat

result is weak instead Of strong
