He says that in the last year the ratio Of
difference In the death rate between men
and women has been 30 against less than
10 per cent twenty years ago.
The cause for this is attributed by the
physician to the strenuous life Contrlbu-

exposure and carelessness.
The men" he says, are living at rate
that is 80 per cent faster than that OF the
women They work harder. They take
less care Of themselves than Of their wives

Between fifteen hundred and tive
thousand people flung their cares and
duties to the wind and went out to
Greenwood Park SUNDAY afternoon for
pleasure and rest. The amusements
were on in full blast and everybody

and while they doubtless realized that
they were in place designed for pleas
ure there anneared to be high regard
for the Sabbath day There were no
visible SIGNS of disorder and men who
carried their families ont had no occa-
sion to regret the outing because it was
not MARRIED by such conduct as was
said to have characterized an opening
of certain park which was to have
been conducted by white men for Ne
groes.
Greenwood is an ideal park; the To-
cation is fanciful and quickly charms
the eye for the beautiful.
.Companv G, N. G. S. T. (unat-
tached), has stretched tents in the
park and their quarters presented a
scene quite familiar to those who re-
member the active service of the "col-

the Rebellion.
IT is said that many new attractions
will be added in the near future.

MIX THIS AT HOME.
Valuable Prescription Which Anyone
Can Easily Prepare.

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form of Rheumatism by
forcing the Kidneys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter, relieving at
once such symptoms as backache,
weak kidneys and bladder and blood
diseases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to
make. and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredi-
ents from any good pharmacy: Fluid
Extract Dandelion. one-half ounce; !;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup of Sarsaparila. three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bot,
tie, and take teaspoonful after each
meal and again at bedtime.
This simple mixture is said to give
prompt relief, and there are very few
cases of rheumatism and Kidney
troubles it will fail to cure perma,
nently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department;
if not, have him order them from the
Wholesale drug houses for you, rather
than fail to use this, If you are af

red-gold, yellow all over. The Radium
Blonde has hair that Is neither red
nor gold When she wears green or
brown or red, her hair looks red, but
when she wears white or black it
looks golden. She has eyes of the
same puzzling description, tiger-yel-
low. Her skin isn't light and it isn't
dark, but there's dull glow in her
cheeks. Altogether she looks like a
faint sunrise or a tiger. And she has
all the fascinating ways and the dan,
gerous disposition of the tiger. She
seems possessed of the redheaded
girls temper and devitry and of the
gentle purring femininity of the gold

she's SO much rarer than the plain
