Sunshine and Lemonade.

The hygienic qualities of lemonade
have long been popularity celebrated.
and recent scientific research shows
that this pleasing summer drink de-
serves its reputation. NJ. Riegel. writ
ing in the Archives of Hygiene, says
that in a lemonade containing six
grams per liter OF citric acid the
bacillus of cholera is killed in half an
hour. and that of typhoid in "a hours.
But when the same lemonade is per
meated with sunshine. the cholera
bacillus perishes in five minutes and
the typhoid bacillus in two hours.

The Social Sense.

An enthusiastic teacher in the slum
distric. of a large city once gathered
her flock and led them TO vacant lot'
where she proposed they should create
their own playground. The idea was
received with wild enthusiasm. and
the youngsters fell to work with a will
removing stones and debris. In the
midst of the excitement a large boy
was needed to move a particularly OBJ
stinats stone.
Smith, Smith" called the teacher
to one of her star pupils. come and
help us"
The boy came with seeming reluct-
ance. and having removed the stone.

asked in astonishment.

FARMER MAKES A FIND.
Julian Duprront Of Michigan Digs Up
Relic Dated T498."

Travers. City. Mich.-Friends OF
Julian Duprront of Provement wonder
who Is trying to make him appear
foolish. Duprront plowed up a stone
In one Of his fields. and II bears a date
six years later than the time when
Columbus discovered America.
The stone is almost skull shaped
and is of hard variety common along
the beach of Lake Michigan. On II is
carved a rude portrait of a mans face
and below this is the date 1898"
while above 1t are the initials y. A.
T." On the other side is a poorly
drawn picture OF a bird and an imple-
ment resembling a sword. There are
numerous other marks. but the action
OF water or other agencies has rem
dered them illegible. The figures. let
tering and portraits are apparently OF
great age. Duprront would not have
noticed It, as stones are common in
the fields. but the image side happened
to be uppermost
Duprront believes the find is genu-
inc and will eventually make him rich.
He says It means that portion of Co

PEAT AS FUEL.
Effort In This Country to Make Its
Use Practical Unsuccessful.

Peat, which might almost be called
the national fuel of Ireland. has never
been very successfully exploited in
the United States. While peat can be
converted into fair quality of fuel
for both domestic and steam purposes.
all methods of handling it SO far de-
yised require heavy machinery and
considerable hand labor. and both of
these are expensive. Several expert.
mental plants have been started to
test the feasibility of manufacturing
peat fuel, but they have not com
menced work on a commercial scale.
1t is estimated that from 500 to 1900
tons were produced in 1906. During
the year there were imported into the
United States 1857 short tons Of
peat, valued at $45,344.

BREAKING the News With an Ak.


Captain Pritchard of the Mauretania

you ever hear about the sailor and the
parrot?
"Well. once upon time an old lady
was returning from abroad with par
rot. of which she was very fond. she
intrusted the bird, with many admon-
itions to a sailor for the voyage.
"Seasickness. or something, killed
the parrot the third day out. The sail
or. knowing how upset the old lady
would be, could not bring himself to
tell her the sad tidings, but asked a
companion, famous for his skill in
such matters, to break the bad news to
her very, very gently. The man as
sented.
And approaching the old lady with
a tragical face, the famous news
breaker touched his cap and said.
I'm afraid that ere bird o yourn
ain't goin' to live long, ma'am.'
"'Oh, deari' exclaimed the old lady
In alarm. 'Why?'
"'Cause he's dead was the reply"

LYDIA e. PINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
Dined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia Z. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, No., writes:
complete restoration TO health
means so much TO me that for the sake
of other suffering women l am willing
to make my troubles public
"For twelve years ! had been suffer
ing with the worst forms OF female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times /
could hardly walk. About two years
ago 1 wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t Is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia z. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Mnff,
it will do for other suffering women.
