Nevertheless, the fundamental idea
is not altogether dissimilar. Ma
chine guns are particularly useful for
the defensive, when they NOW down
the enemy by a storm Of projectiles
at the moment of forward rush and
they are equally efficient in mountain
warfare, where a single such weapon
skillfully posted and hidden at the,
entrance of a defile, can hold back a,
large hostile force or by beating with
continuous fire a section of narrow
road over which the foe wishes to
pass, can either infiict enormous loss
es or compel long detour.
A machine gun is SO small as to be
hard to hit and, if well concealed, it
can hardly be located with accuracy
by the enemy-smOkeleSs powder be-

"white Disease" in Africa.

Sir Harry Johnston, the famous e..
p!orer, once escaped from very tight
corner in Africa by a queer STRATA
gem. A score or two of murderou3
natives had surrounded his tent, into
which, before rushing it, they sent an
envoy. The envoy was told the small
poX was in camp, and a wretched AL
bino was sent out as the awful exam
pie. In five minutes the scared tribes
men had vanished. AS Sir Harry wei

Eminent Doctors Praise Its ingredients.

We refer to that boon to weak, nervous,
suffering women known as DR.. Pierce'S
Favorite Prescription.
DIR. John Fyfe one of the Editorial Staff
of The ECLECTIC MEDICAL REVIEW says
of Unicorn root (Helonias Dioica) which
is one of the chief ingredients of the ia
vOrite Prescription:
"A remedy which invariably acts as utter
tivity Of the entire reproductive system. ~
He continues ''in Helonias we have a medica-
ment which more fully answers the above
acquainted In the treatment of diseases pc
culiar to women 1t is seldom that case is
seen which does not present some indication
for this remedial AGENT DR.. Fyfe further
says: THE following are among the leading
indications for Helonias Unicorn root. Pain
OF ach1 IIl IN tne pack with leucorrhGa;
organs of women, mental depression and ir-
rita5ility, associated with chronic diseases of
the reproductive orgsns Of women, constant
sensation of heat in the region of the hid
neys; menorrhagia C1ooding), due to O weak
ened condition of the reproductive system;
perlodS), arising from or accompanying an
abnormal condition Of the digestive organs
and an@mic thin blood habit; dragging
sensations In the extreme lower part of the
abdomen"
If more OR less of the above symptoms
are present, no invalid woman can do
better than take DR.. Pierces Favorite
Prescription, one of the leading ingredi-
81
and the medical properties of which it
most faithfully represents.
Of Golden Seal root, another prominent
Ingredient of "Favorite Prescription, /"
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Ben
nett Medical College, Chicago, says
ut is an important remedy in disorders Of
the womb. In all catarrhal conditions =
and general enfeeblement. it is useful
Prof John M. Scudder, M. D., late of
Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root:
I'm relation to its general effects on the
system there Is no medicine in use about achich
there is such general undnimity Of opinion 1t
is untgersduy regarded the tonic useful in
all debilitated states"
Prof. Bartholow, M. D., of jefferson
Medical College, says of Golden Seal:
valuable in uterine hemorrhage menor-
rhagia (flooding) and congestive dysmenor-
rhea (painfUl menStruation)."
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription faith
fully represents all the above named in
gradients and cures the diseases for which
they are recommended.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, they cannot reach the dis
eased portion of the ear. There is only way to
cure Deafness and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an iniamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is tnfamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing and when 1t is entirely closed Deaf
is the result and unless the Inflammation be
taken out and this tube restored It's normal cOndi
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out Of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an indamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

The question involved in the Hep
Lurn Rate Bill now before Congress
seems to be, whether the people or
the railroads are to govern the cOun-
try. Unless laws are enacted to con-
troll them, the following from the
Publishers Press Association shows
in which way the matter will be de-
cided:The "gross annual earnings OF
the railroads are, in round numbers,
g., 1000, 100000. Their net earnings are
500, OOO,O 900. 1t will thus be seen that
once year every dollarin circulation
in the United States passes through
the hands of the railroads, while once
in three years every dollar in the
United States becomes a part of then
net earnings, and those net earnings
equal in amount annually the entire
expenditures of the United States
Government"

Soil incubation With Artificial Gull
lures.

Abstract of Bulletin No. 1863, Va.
Expt. Station.
The importance, origin and history
of inOculating the soil with Nitrogen
fixing Bacteria is discussed. A short
account Of some investigations along
that line, with methods of preparing
the media and growing the organisms
is given. Reports from the expert
ments in Virginia last year showed
that 80 per cent. proved profitable.
The Bulletin concludes as follows:
/. Inoculating can be done sue
cessfully and prOfitably where care is
taken in observing the proper meth
DDS.
2. A conservative course is recon-
mended. The recent wild enthusiasm,
using such terms as west pocket fer
till r." "acts like magic" etc., are
mis- aiding; while any statement that
inOc,latiOn by artificial culture is a
fra I'D is equally wrong. -,
g. No amount of incubation will
make up for an imperfectly prepared
seed bed, poor soil, bad seasons and
poor cultivation.
The results obtained and the cost of
preparing do not justify the enormous
retail price of $500 per acre charged
by commercial concerns last spring.
5. The Experiment Station will
continue to supply farmers of the
State with cultures at twenty-five
cents per acre. In turn the farmers
are requested to give the material a
far trial and report results. Those
ordering material are also requested
to write name and address plainly, as
packages have miscarried and failed
of delivery in many instances on ac-
count of improper address.

The position of Commissioner
Koiner, of the State Agricultural de-
partment, is very far from being only
ornamental, as many people Of the
State believe. That it is not sine
cure but an office calling for active
work and the strictest vigilance is
shown by a special to the News-Lead-
er, which says: He is making a
painstaking and systematic study OF
the food conditions of the State, and
has for some time been thoroughly in
specting candy, dairy products, flour,
corn meal, meats of all kinds, salt,
vinegar, cider and water-in fact,
every article of diet used by the aver
age Virginia family" If he had no
other duty to perform, and he has
many more, no one can question the
Importance of having some one tC
look after and prevent the sale Of
poisonous and adulterated foods in the
State, and it is gratifying to believe
that he is discharging that duty in {
way creditable to himself and in the
best interest of the people of the
State.

The jamestown Exposition is re-
ceiving the support of the best news
papers throughout the country, simply
because the management purposes TO
make the celebration a great nationai
holiday-an exposition along entirely
different lines from those preceding
it. The Washington, D. c., Post says
the following editorially'
Truly, if we were not aware that the
proposed jamestown Exposition of 1907
differs radically in every imaginable
respect from the various fairs, &C.
which have preceded it, we should
hesitate to speak in its behalf. Keenly
as we recognize the vast Importance
of the episode it is intended to cele-
brate, and we'll as we realize the mo-
mentous consequences of which that
episode was the pioneer and vanguard,
we should sti1 be unable to say con-
sciantious word in the line of promo
ton if we were not sure that the
jamestown Exposition will be nov
city in every sense of the word.
To state the case briefly, we may
say-as is the simple truth-that this
is the first celebration of any conSe-
ouence to be held upon the seashore.
The location, therefore, is ideal
There is no heated, overcrowdod city
in the neighborhood, where the pa
irons will be herded in rapacious cara
vansaries, fed on ''refrigerated' food
compelled to travel long distances III
swarming and uncomfortable street
cars, and charged eXtOrtionately tol
a maximum of discomfort. The James
town Exposition is to be situated fan
ont in the midst of a salt water and
breezy environment. Hampton Roads,
Chesapeake Bay, the Atlantic itself
will hem it in on every side. 1t there
were nothing else, the visitors Woulc
a5least have a seaside outing at one
of the most desirable points on the
Atlantic coast. Thousands treat them
selves to that recreation every sum
mer with no extra inducement, Sc
every additional attraction will D'
that much to the good. They VII
have ocean prospects and environ
ments-bathing, fishing, sea food
yachting, sailing, &c.-and besides
the most splendid naval and military
pageantry ever witnessedin the world
Even if it stops short there the pa
irons of the celebration will have haC
more than they could get elsewhere
on the same terms-mOre than they
ever got before from any excursion tC
the seashore.
That there will be many other at
fractions, we are promised by the
management, and have faith that the
pledge will be abundantly redeemed
All the great nations have accepted
President Roosevelt's invitation t.
participate. 1t is, therefore, safe t.
count upon a naval and military dis
play of surprising splendor and i'm
portance. 1t will constitute, indeed
a spectacle the like of which has no
been witnessed in this or any othel
land. No doubt the management vii
in due time and with appropriate elo
quence unfold to the country the en-
tire scheme of the enterprise they
have in view. For the present, We
think it we'll enough to point out Ger
tain features which of themselve
confer special attraction and in
ducement.
