the Pinkham office, and go to prove
beyond question that Lydia e. Pink

remedy Of great merit, otherwise it
could not produce such marvellous
results among sick and ailing women.
Dear Mrs. Pipkham:-
ssAbout nine months ago I was a great suf-
ferer with female trouble, which caused me
severe pain, extreme nervousness and fre-
ouent headaches, from which the doctor
failed to relieve me. l tried Lydia E.. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, and within a
short time felt better, and after taking hve
bottles of it, was entirely cured. Therefore
heartily recommend your Compound as a
splendid female tonic. 1t makes the monthly
periods regular and without pain; and whaS
q blessing it Is to find such a remedy after SO
many doctors fail to help you. | am pleased

Not a Cinderella,

Virtue Is not only it's OWL reward,

many years ago two girls lived in
Atchison. Both were equally pretty
and good natured. Immediately upon
leaving school one girl put her Shout
der to the wheel. She earned her own
living and contributed to the support
of the family. She was Industrious
and made her own clothes and hats.
She had taste and was always stylish
ly dressed. She was unselfish with
her friends, and gay and entertaining.
She was a help to all who knew her.
The other girl was a constant drain on
the family resources. She W
earned a cent in her life, but spent
on dress, entertaining, etc. She new
er lifted her hand to help with the
family homework. She went visiting,
and girls visited her. She never took
a stitch for herself or any one else.
She took from her friends but never
gave anything in return. She, too,
was pretty and gay, and one day a
prince came along. Instead of taking
the pretty, hardworking Cinderella by
the hand and making her his bride, he
took the idle girl, and led her to the
altar. She has led a life of lazy ease
ever since. She is greatly admired,
and the pretty Industrious Cinderella

Hop.fulness of Dull Children.

Many dull children become the very
brightest and most effective men and
women. There are various reasons
for this fact. 1t is not, however, an
exceptional condition in nature. Many
Of the hardest plants and trees ma
ture most slowly and bear fruit late.
The problem of the dull child is n
that need by no mean discourage.
If it were necessary to prove by ex-
amples the assertion in regard to the
h%opefulness of slow-minded children,
we could fill many pages with in
stances of famous men who were dull
lards in youth. Walter Scott, for in
stance, was known at school as the
Greek blockhead," since he seemed
unable to master that language.
Some children by too rapid growth
become bulky and stupid temporar-
lily. They could be described, in tech
nical language, as not yet "cele-
brated." Bones and muscles have
grown more rapidly than brain and
nervous system. But in multitudes of
cases the nervous forces develop Ia
ter, catch up, and become predoml-
nant. Then you have a bright man
or woman out OF a dull, slow child.

H. w. Buck, an engineer writing
for the outlook, makes out that we
have an expensive luxury In Niagara
Falls.
The total hydraulic energy of the
Falls, says Mr.. Buck. would repre-
sent about 100000 horsepower.
To generate one horsepower contin-
uously for a year by a steam engine
requires about thirteen tons of coal.
To generate, therefore, continu-
ously 100000 horsepower by
steam would require about 10000
900 tons of coal per year.
To generate electric power by
steam with the most modern steam
plant costs not less than $50 a horse
power a year. allowing for fixed
charges and operating expenses. Nj
agara power can be generated and
sold in large quantities for SIS a
horsepower a year, or for $35 a
horsepower a year less than is posi-
BILE from the use of coal and the
steam engine.
From the above it will be cen that
IL all the hydraulic energy of the
Falls were utilized for power pur-
poses there would result to the coun-
try an annual saving of $35 a horse
power for 100000 horsepower, or
1925 900, and in addition there
would be an annual saving in coal
consumption of 100000 tons.
These figures illustrate what 1t
costs the people of this continent an
nually to maintain Niagara Falls as
a spectacle. They represent the saw
ing to those who would consume the
power, and not the profit of those
who might own the power develop
ments.
This waste involved in prohibiting
the development of Niagara power
might be likened to a great c%onfagra-
ton in which 100000 tons of
coal were annually consumed. Such
a conlagration might be one OF
the most magnificent sights in the
world, and people might come from
all parts to view it, but the human
race would certainly be justified in
using every effort to stop the waste
by putting out the fire.
