GangrOsa, tropical disease more re-
pulsive than leprosy, has become So
prevalent on the island OF Guam that
Lieut.. McNamee, U. S. N, acting gov
ernor of the island, has recommended
the establishment of hospital for the
isolation Of the disease, which is be-
lieved to be highly contagious. Ad-
miral Rixey, surgeon general Of the
navy, has approved the recommends
ton and it is probable that a $4,000
hospital will be erected Immediately
near the leper hospital on the island.
Lieut.. McNamee says the disease de-
stroys the upper part of the face, by
slow liberation and is more horrible,
both to the victim and to his. compan-
ions, than leprosy. AS 400 cases. have
developed it's isolation is imperative.

disease in parts of South America and

. tmpatience.

Only to follow you. dearest, only to find
Only to feel for one instant the touch
Of Your hand; :.
Only to tell you once of the love you left
behind you--
To say the world without You is like a
desert Of sand
That the flowers have lost their perfume,
the rose its splendor
And the charm of nature is lost in a
dull eclipse;
That JOY went out with the glance of
your eyes so tender.
And beauty passes with the lovely smile
on your lips.
I did not dream it was you who kindled
the morning
And folded the evening purple in peaca
so sweet;
But you took the whole worlds rapture
without warning,
And left me naught save the print OF
your patient feet.
I, count the days and The hours that hold
us asunder:,
long for Deaths friendly, hand which
shall rend in twain,
With. the. glorious lightning flash and the
These Clouds is'1 Of the earth, and give me-
my own again!

HONOLULU POULTRY EXPERT
Claims to Be Able to Predetermine
the Sex and Fertility: of
80 an Egg.

G. w. Weatherwax, chicken fan
cier of Honolulu, claims he has discov-
cred a process whereby he can tell the
sex of an egg and whether it will be
fertile or not. Weatherwax has been
experimenting with eggs since 1894 and
is now in a position to give the results
of his Investigations to the world. He
has used thousands OF eggs in his ex-
periments and kept two 50-egg incu-
bators going all the time.
He claims to be able to tell whether
the produce of an egg will be roos-
ter or a hen, and if the chick has a
fair chance to reach maturity.
II am willing to make public test
with 100 eggs," said Weatherwax, lin
order to prove my assertions. The
eggs may be marked according to my
prediction with an indelible pencil be-
fore being put in the incubator. In
nine cases out of ten it will be found
that am right
Mr.. WeatherWax claims that he is
the first white man to possess this re.
markable knowledge. Poultry papers
are unanimous in declaring that there
is no way Of telling a fertile egg be-
fore putting it in the incubator. They
maintain that even if the egg be
broken, the germ cannot be seen with
the naked eye.
Weatherwax undertakes to teach the
whole thing in five minutes. He de.
clares that no mechanical devices OF
chemicals are used.

We refer to that boon to weak, nervous,

says: 1.-The following are among tho leading
indications for Helonias Unicorn root). Pain

Happen to know of two Americans
of position, who had inside information
Of the conditions in Panama, and who
sat in room in the New Willard lin
Washington, one night in the fall OF
1908, consummating plans for putting
through the revolution obtaining a
charter from the new republic, and
forming "a company Of + capitalists,
writes Capt. Lloyd Buchanan,sin Lipp-
incott's Magazine. Mr.. Pierpont> Nor o.
gan was to be asked to- organize the
company. The total cost of the, revo-
luton was to be under $150,0O0, and
all the equipment needed in addition
to what the junta could supply was
pair of moderately fast small steam
ers, chartered, four six-inch. guns,
with ammunition, and so Krag rifles:
The steamers and weapons were to be
handled by Americans and English
men who had no special calling on
earth. I have every reason to be-
lieve that, if Mr.. Roosevelt had failed
to act as he did, and any private con-
Germ had taken up the construction Of
the canal, revolution would have
gone off with an accuracy and style
that has never been surpassed. But,
unfortunately for art,s Mr.. Roosevelt
did act.
South America, Mexico and the
West Indies are threaded everywhere
by the trails of these adventures of
life. In Curacao YOU can find hatch
ing any sort of scheme you choose
from a plan to smuggle couple of
bolts of silk and a case of champagne
into Venezuela, to plot to overthrow
a republic and putting new dictator
in it's capital. I met there in the same
day q ruined American gambler, beg
ging his passage back to the states,
and the sons of Guzman Blanco, the
banished ex-president of Venezuela.
The former stopped me opposite a
Dutch cigar store and told me with
the most pointed frankness what he
wanted, but the latter, over their ciga-
rettes and long iced glasses, mourned
evasively of exile and confscated es-
tates in general. 1t is, then, not for
me to say why they were frizzling on
that sun-baked islet within so miles
of the Venezuelan coast, when they
might as we'll have been in the dear
PARIS that they know and love so we'll.
But probably they knew-and Castro
l think did, too.

Patient to Perfect Health
And Strenoth

Mrs. Mary Gagner, of No. 576 South
Summer street, Holyoke, Mass, has
passed through al experience which
proves that some of the greatest bless
ings of life may lie within easy reach
A few years ago while she was employed
with dizziness and great weakness. II
could hardly stand, and my head be-
floor was moving around.
My condition at last became so bad
that was obliged to give up work i'll the
that l could not even attend to me
exertlon I had to lie down and rest until
~ega1ned strength.
"a friend who had used Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People urged me to
try them. bought a box and began to
take them. The benefit was so positive
and so quickly evident that continued
to use the pills until I had taken alto
gether six boxes. By that time I was
entirely cured, aud for two years have
rad no return Of my trouble. I am now
in the best Of health and able to attend
to all my duties. lam glad to acknowl-
edge the benefit I received and I hope
that my statement may be the means Of
inducing others who may suffer i'll this
way to try this wonderful lnedicine."
The secret of the power of DR.. Will
Hams Pink Pills in cases of debility
such as Mrs. Gagner's lies in the fact
that they make new blood, and every or
gan and even every tiny nerve in the
body feels the stir of new tide OF

The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's>>Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of ,womankind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant, not because it
is a palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
al parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia E. ~Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of them would acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect a cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
Dr., s. G. Brigham, of 4 Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass, writes:
EFT gives me great pleasure to say that I
have found Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound very efficacious, and often pre-
scribe it in my practice for female difficulties.
my Oldest daughter found it very benefi-
cia1 fora femaletrouble some time ago andmv
youngest daughter is now taking it for fe.
male weakness, and is surely gaining in health
and strength. :
II freely advocate it as most reliable spe-
cltic IN all diseases to which women are sub
ject, and give it honest endorsement"
Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular periods, bloating Tor
f1atulency), weakness of organs, dis
placements, Inflammation or liberation,
can be restored to perfect health and
strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. If advice is
needed write to Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. She is law
of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty
five years has been advising sick
| women free of charge. No other living
person has had the benefit of a
wider experience in treating female
ills: She has guided thousands to
health. Every suffering woman should
ask for and follow her advice if she
: wants TO be strong and well.
