CURIOUS FISH.

Pockets In Their Mouths.
In tho sen of t;alilrc. or Lake Tibc-
rias, as ii is also called, there Is u
strange fish named the CllromiS simo-
mis-. which is more careful OF its young
than fish generally are. The male
takes the eggs in his mouth and keeps
them in his natural side pockets, where
they are regularly Matched and remain
until able 10 Shift for themselves. BY
this ingenious arrangement The brood
Is comparatively guarded against It's
natural enemies. 1t Is easily fed, too,
but 1t is Il puzzle how the little ones
escape being eaten alive. Awhile ago,
says Il traveller writing to religious
contemporary, ! found In my net u
number of these fish without eyes.
Others OF the species. when 1 lifted
them M, dropped Il number of little
fishes ont OF their mouths, which swan
away hastily. The natives explained
The phenomenon. The blind cllromls
is the victim OF sea hawks. When
these birds have eaten their fill they
begin to look out for tidbits. After
catching IL fish they hit It's forehead
with their sharp bcak. knocking out
the middle part, In which their eyes are
set The bony structure Is dropped
into the water. but the eyes arc eaten
by the birds with great relish
Strangely enough, the fish generally
survive this rough treatment The

GUARD WE'LL THE GIRLS.

The devils harvest of girls is on,
not only in this section and in this city,
but in every city in the United States.
The moonlight evenings of summer are

in week or month, dates the ruin

All things-good and bad-have their
beginning. There is a starting point
for ALL A circumstance turns the tide
of a life for good or i'll. Every girl is
born spotless and pure, and for time
her life is blameless. The first blight
that comes to her marks the begin
ming of her downfall. Her paths at
best are beset with dangers and temp
tations
The unequal balance of the social
scale as regards sex makes the girl the
legitimate prey of the depraved. Her
will power and her discretion, together
with the protecting influence Of good
home and the watchful care of good
mother, are her only salvation. No
woman reaches maturity but some
time during her development passes
thru the fire of temptation and pas
sion. Her fate depends on the influ-
ences that have enveloped her during
her girlhood from babyhood
Each summer the seed of ruin IS
sown in pleasure, to be later reaped
in sorrow and anguish. And who's at
fault? 1t is assuredly not the girl.
She is as God made her in the be-
se-b hn
fuences; had the right sort of re-
straint been exercised at the righ.

held her condolences from babyhood,
and had she remained in position
to know each influence and each trais
of her daughter, she could have fore
seen the danger and have warded it
off.

to the houses of ill fame from the

increasing numbers, as the youngsters
are encouraged during their early

walk, posture and many Of the bodily
features Of duck. 1t is eight months
old, but hasn't laid any eggs yet.
Its tail is short and stubby. and its
legs and feet resemble those Of duck,
except that the feet lack the web. 1t

THREE FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FIRsT.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
and painful periods, displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, dir
illness and sleeplessness.
SECOND medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, infam-
nation of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
TH1RD.-The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at Cn0 TlnkQam LABORATORY at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
t0W0men.--W Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened. read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad.
vising sick women free Of charge. Outof
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she doesnot take
advantage of this generous offer Of
assistance.

SOME AUTOMOBILE FIGURES.

statistical experts estimate that not
+ less than a million dollars worth OF
automobiles are in use in America
During the past year more than four
s million dollars worth We're imported
and more than 26 million dollars worth
manufactured in the United States
Just how many machines and how
much outlay they represented were IN
use previous to this period Is largely
xuesswork. However, the estimate OF
500, 100000 is not far off the facts.
How important this industry has
become may be judged from the facts
that the number Of wage earners en-
ploye.d in automobile establishments
increased from 2,242 in 1900 to 1929
In 1906; that the wages paid increas-
ed from s1,32O,65s to $6,17S,95o; that
the salaries of officers, clerks, ETC., in
creased from s294,7'Io to s1,o6o,425, and
that the materials used, which item of
course largely represents labor, in
creased from 81, so42s7 to s11,65s.l3s.
This immense outlay of millions
within a few years is significant Of
the wonderful prosperity OF the past
decade in the United States. Up to
this time the motor car has been more
plslything for the prosperous than a
practical competitor with other and
more common methods Of transporta-
ton. 1t has grown into a place in the
common economy as the bicycle did a
few years ago, practical Improvements
are being made to increase it's COM
mon utility and the next twelvemonth
will see much greater purchase of
"mac hines than its predecessor. Pros
perity also seems to have come to
stay and the class who can, or think
they can afford motor, is steadily
increasing How long is it likely to
be before the airship factory is a lead
ing industry in America?
