Why should this be the case ?

Because they have neglected them
selves, as every one of these patients
In the hospital beds had plenty of
warning in those dragging sensations,
pains at left or right of abdomen,
backaches, nervous exhaustion, in
fammation, liberation, displace-
ments, and other organic weaknesses.
All OF these symptoms are indica-
tions of an unhealthy condition Of the
female system and If not needed the
penalty has to be paid by dangerous
operation. When these symptoms
manifest themselves, do not drag
along until you are obliged to go to
the hospital and submit to an opera
tion-but remember that Lydia E.

HOT AND COLD WATER.
How to Use These Remedies Ia the
Rest Advantages.

How to Use These Remedies 20 the
Rest Advantage.
Hot or cold water is excellent as an
application for Inflammation. conges-
tions or abrasions. but how many peo-
pie know which to apply In particular
cases while awaiting the arrival Of
medical relief? Not many, and the mis-
takes made In some instances are lu-
dicrous.
Take tho barber, for example. who
has cut his patrons face. He generally
washes, the face with a towel soaked
IN warm water. often pressing 1t right
into the injury, and then wonders why
the blood flows from the cut SO freely.
In ninety-nine cases out Of hundred
II he had used cold water. and the
colder the better, the blood would
have ceased to flow from the injury al
together, as the cold would have ten
dency to contract the openings In the
torn blood vessels. In all cases OF such
cuts or abrasions very cold water will
IL 1t doesn't stop 1t altogether. and yet,
singularly enough. boiling water will
have the same effect.
Water below the boiling point In
creases the flow. but above that de-
gree decreases II. In surface inflamma-
lions or congestions cold water ought
to be used, while II the condition is sit
uated below the surface hot water Is
necessary as an application because II
draws the blood toward the surface
ind thus stimulates the circulation
through the part where 1t is most
needed.
In cases Of assesses or pip1pleS
with pus forming In them, but which
have not yet come to head, the secre-
tion Of pus can be rapidly increased
and the duration Of the annoyance
thereby decreased by applying hot wd
ter to them at frequent intervals.
Where the eye is infiamed or smarts,
after period Of eye strain, such as
night work often induces, hot appli-
cations are the things for relief, but
the water used should be gradually
allowed to cool Off toward the end.

Concerning College Athletics.

There are certain general principles
that ought to be Kept In mind. One
Of them Is that professionalism. IL It
be honestly admitted, Is not an i'm
moral thing. The wrong Is In playing
the professional as an amateur and in
trying to make yourself believe that
your professional Is an amateur. This
lis hypocrisy of very edious kind, and
Its influence on the young men In our
colleges Is deplorable. Though honest
and openly avowed professionalism is
not immoral, 1t IS, we believe. fatal to
true college sport. for If you admit
that 1t Is proper you destroy absolutely
Ill healthy interest In college contests.
II an athletic association may hire q
star halfback, why may 1t not hire q
whole eleven to do nothing except play
football? or course II any degree Of
professionalism be admitted there Is no
'eason why this should not be done.
But games played by such men would
lot be college games In any decent
sense OF the word.-Indlanapolis News.

Darkness Is on. The night Is black.
Through the silent timber sounds the
bowling Of the pack
On the sky above deep, dense cloud
Hovers DER earth like n somber shroud,
And the fire cracks loud.
Darkness Is on. The stark. grim pines
Stand tall and black in irregular lines.
Fen though darkness be on and the pines
are drear
And deer are few. yet freedom Is here
With the campfire near.

FROM BURNING TO DEATH

Montpelier, April Three Montpelier

in two fires yesterday and one of them,
Mrs. NJ. J. Doyle Of Putnam street, had

death. The other two, the Misses Ella
and Sadie Brown, daughters of Hosea

terday afternoon and last night she suf-
fered terribly. The fire got low in the
furnace yesterday morning and she went
down stairs and poured on some kero-
sene. Returning up stairs she waited
for the heat TO come, but as there was
no change she went down again and
opened the furnace door. At once there
was an explosion like musket shot and
the flames burst into her face. Her
clothes became enveloped III fire, and
screaming she rushed up stairs and
toward the street. Two boarders who
fortunately were in the house went to
her rescue and tore off her dress and ex.
tinguished the FIRE.
An examination by physician showed
that she was badly burned about the
face, arms and breast, and that her
whole body was more or less scorched.
Mrs. Doyle sat up today, but viii not
