Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is a mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in a young girls life without
pain Oh Irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at

Miss Mills has written the two fol-
lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkhanl, which
will be read with interest:

WHENCE CAME THE MOON.
Pacific Ocean Fills Luna's Former
Place on Earth.

INV 0A
Scientific Europe is discussing the
latest theory regarding the origin OF
the moon, a theory plausible enough
to centre learned attention. That
the moon was at one time part and
parcel of the earth is beyond dispute,
but the latest achievement of point
ing out the exact origin of our satel-
lite is quite unique. 1t IS contended
that when the moon was hurled into
space it separated from the earth at
the place now occupied by the Pa
cific Ocean. To support this conten-
ton three arguments are posted
one relates to the strange form of
the Atlantic Coast lines of the East
ern and Western Continents; the &c
ond shows the curious character of
the Pacific Coast lines and the vo,-
canic nature of the Pacific Ocean
bed; the third deals with the perma-
nent nature of both ocean beds.
At some remote period (the years
can only be calculated by hundreds
of millions) the velocity of the earth,
whose surface was a thin crust and
interior of greater -fuidity than now,
sufficed to fling into space a quantity
of matter equal to about half a bill
lion cubic miles, the only satellite we
have.
The fact that the density of the
interior of the earth is nine times
that of the surface, and that the
density of the moon is that of the
surface of the earth, shows that the
substance forming the moon came
from a superficial portion of the
earth, a part that now resembles the
surface of the moon-the neighbor-
hood of our volcanic Hawaii Islands.
The suggestion, then, that the great
scar, now the Pacific Ocean, into
whose bed water vapor condensed to
form the water, was the source of
the moon is borne out by several
facts. The coast line of the Pacific
is nearly that of a great circle, WITH
its centre about 500 miles south OF
Samoa, the general shape Of the
ocean bed being that of the crater
of a great volcano, much like the
great craters of the moon, and this
portion of our earth is thickly pop
ulated with volcanoes, since the tear
ing out of the mass of matter left
the crust weak. In fact, toward the
centre of this circle the volcanic
peaks of Hawaii, Samoa and New
Zealand are situated with reference
to the circumference much as tie
central peaks of a lunar volcano are
situated with reference to the rim.
Again, the bed of the Atlantic has
an entirely different shape, it being
a curious fact-as can be noticed on
a map-that the eastern and western
coast lines fit naturally and sym
metrically into each other, as if they
had been torn apart. 1t is, there
fore, probable that when the great
mass now forming the moor was
hurled out of the present bed of the
Pacific by centrifugal force that the
opposite side of the earth was torn
apart. Allowing for subsistence and
coast-line waste, the manner in which
the sea lines on the Atlantic can
close into each other is very striking.
The crust had already begun to
form, so that the scars would be per-
manent, and when the earth cooled
off sufficiently to allow the vapor to
condense these scars would be filled
up, forming the oceans.-Pniladel-
phia Record.

Nervous troubles are more often

FREE PASS oUIBBLISG

The quibbling construction of the new
national rate law as regards free
passes does not meet the practical
point and probably conflicts with its
spirit and purpose Whether the law
forbids free transportation to con-
gressmen between points in a state,
or between a point in one state and a
foreign country, or between Washing
ton and any point IN any state,
whether it is possible for keen law
yer to devise means whereby a mem
ber OF congress with cooperation OF
the railroads may beat his way in
interstate trips-all OF which PROPOSE
tions are seriously maintained-the
fact remains that IL was the spirit and
purpose OF the rate law to forbid and
abolish the free pass abuse so far as

gress and government officials and en-
ployes.

A MONUMENT OF GRAFT.


Inspection of the bills causes sus-
picion to spread that Pennsylvania s
new capitol, which was dedicated with
imposing ceremonies the other day, is
a monument Of graft rather than of
public enterprise. Its total cost of
$13, 100000 contrasts startlingly with
the $6,347.000 expended on the con-
gressionai library building at Wash
ington, which is so superior to the
Pennsylvania structure that the latter
should certainly have cost less.
The interior decorations alone at
Harrisburg cost $4,000, 900, or almost
twice. the total outlay for the magnif-
cent new Minnesota capitol, and
nearly three times that of the new
Rhode Island capitol. of which amount
S5,000.00O went to one contractor
who has defeated every effort to force
an itemized statement. The chande-
Hers, which are not superior to those
in some other public buildings, cost
ing a fraction as much, stand charged
to the state at $2,04s.OOO, or within
no great distance of the amount for
which a creditable. If honestly built
capitol could be provided for Ne
braska.
These sample circumstances consist
perfectly with the central fact that
this Pennsylvania structure was
erected by the gang" or machine
which so long ran the state govern
ment, not for the. states good, but for

not afford to pay him very much. There
fore, in order that the company may not
have to raise its salaries and make up
the difference, you should fight the anti

of his way. Just show him that the COM
pany really cannot AFFORD TO pay the por-
ters any more money, and that II he does
not give a tip and they are compelled to
do IL the stockholders will suffer. Read
him the following touching statement:
