A GOOD SHOT

A certain editor who handles the truth
with an abandon that is positively start
ling, tells of farmer in this county who
had been bothered with blackbirds.
Seeing flock of them perched on his
barn one morning he ran to the house for
his shot gun. Quickly proceeding to
load, he found that he was out of shot.
Grabbing mp paper of tacks, he put the
contents into the gun and then hurryine
to the barn he turned both barrels loose
on the flock. Imagine his surprise when
he found he had tackled every one OF the
birds to the barn roof. While calling bis
wife he was again surprised to see the
| flock OF birds fly off with the roof

Only Bobby.
And then she reached her own room

CURE FOE HOT BEARINGS

Powdered sulphnr mixed with oil is
claimed to have frequently relieved hot
bearings in steamship machinery, bnt
a lubricant much stranger still is snl-
pI,uric acid. On one occasion, after re-
pea,ed trouble from heating, the dilute
acid was allowed to drip slowly upon
the working bearing. In half an hour
the part Was cooled, when the acid was
washed out and the ordinary oil was
applied. The cure was permanent.

MAGNETIzING CHANGES WEIGHT

Magnet zation proves to have meas
urable effect on weight. The influence
has been tested at number of stations
in the United States aud Canada, the
magnet being pointed in various direc-
tious and the special balance used being
free from magnetic material. When the
south pole of the magnet was to the north
the weight was about one part in 900,
600 more than when the position was
reversed. In regions of magnetic die.
turbance the difference was greater and
exceeded one part in 100000. The in
crease in weight on magnetizing meta
seemed OF the order Of one part in 200,
900.

sWELLING IRON

The increase of volume from the heat
ing and cooling Of cast iron has been the
subject OF many tests, and it has been
shown that the swelling may amount to
as much as 40 per cent. After heating
in a gas furnace 81 times, the highest
temperature reached being 1850 degrees
Fahrenheit, bar originally one inch
square and IA inches long was found
to have grown to one and one-eighth
inches square and sixteen and one-haIi
inches long. This effect is suggested as
an explanation OF the trouble given BY
cast iron fittings for superheated steam,
which produces the same alternate heat.

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia T..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia K. Pinkham's Veg-
stable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
dted by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any nywomananyd daymay
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
+. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia h. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia K. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because IL contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
70 healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
10 restore their health.
