SUNLIGHT PUTS FIRES OUT.

An oven or stove should never be
built where the sun will strike it,
said an architect Sunlight puts g

had often heard from old women
that fires would not burn well if the
sun shone on them, but l thought this
was a superstition. l thought the fires
only seemed to burn less well because
the bright light of the sun made their
flames look pale and weak. l was
wrong, though.
1t is a fact sunlight on a range or
stove will weaken and eventually ex-
tinguish the fire. The reason is that
the suns rays hinder combustion
rarefying the air, and lessening the
bulk of oxygen so necessary to good
bright blaze.

There is mercy in every place.

Mrs. III. Wri gilt

Mrs. Plnlsham claims that there Is q
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by n
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes n disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has a peculiar tonic effect on the fe-
male organism.
As proof of this theory We call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia f. Pink
