TWO YEARS WITHOUT WATER.
Century Plant at F'redonia Thrfves
Without Moisture

Mrs. ]. H. Young has had a century
plant for thirteen years. the last two
of which the plant has been stored in
the cellar at her home. It is potted in
a large galvanized tub and during the
last two years she has not watered it a
single time and not a bit of sunshine
has it had Yesterday she had the
plant carried out of the cellar and put
in the yard. 1t has almost turned
white for lack of moisture and open

much the worse for its confinement.
Since Mrs. Young has had the plant it
has never bloomed and shows no signs

A Clamor for Endowment.

For years our dramatic critics and

urged the endowing of theaters de-

to congratulate herself on the public

forms of drama and music to which
she shall owe her endowed theater.
But shall she have the only endowed
theater in the country? What has
she that other great, wealthy and

Dread Observation-Disclosures Women Prepare

The. ''change of life' is

of q woman's existence,
and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near
is not without reason.
Every woman who
neglects the care of her
health at this time in
vites disease and pain.
When her system is in
a deranged condition,
or she is predisposed to
apoplexy, or congestion
of any organ, the ten
dency is at this period
likely to become active
and with a host of ner-
vous irritations make
life a burden. At this
time, also, cancers and
tumors are more liable
to form and begin their
destructive work.

Ignorant of the conditions that con-

disfavor, or with outspoken hatred.
The newspapers, most of them, e
opposed to him. The land thieves,
through their high-salaried attorneys,

protesting against the appointment of
a 'carpetbagger'' to prosecute the
land fraud cases.
