hrs. Mackall's Recital

The song recital given by Mrs.
Bruce McV. MacI,all on Tuesday even.
ing in the ballroom of the Alexander
Young hotel brought out large audi.
ence. which listened from beginning
TO end with intense interest to one
of the best entertainments given for
d long time. Mrs Mackall was assist.
ed by Miss Grace Webster Mrs. W.
l.. whitney, Mrs T. H. Humphris and
Hiss Margaret Clarke. The program
first began with a series Of French
songs sung by Mrs. Mackall, her
fresh eXqulsiroly cultivated voice
bringing out the delicate shades OF
meaning, like the true artist that she
is. Then came Mrs. Whltney's fin,
ished piano solo, showing wonderful
technique and touch. Miss Grace
Webster a charming young girl, de-
lighted the audience with her rich
contralto voice, and she sang with
feeling and much inspiration. Mrs.
Mackall was again heard in a selec.
ton Of German songs and here her
years Of training were shown in the
clear spontaneous quality of the beau
tifdl notes, each plain and sweet. II
is always a pleasure TO listen to the
cultivated singer but Mrs. Mackal
seems only to open her lips and the
song comes forth like the triiling OF
the birds, so sweet so natural are hel
notes and only the trained ear knows
the years Of study and patience neces
sary for this art concealed in art. Mrs
Francis Howard Humphris then gave
three recitations in her artistic man
ner, each number showing the versa

LYDIA E. PINkHHM

No other medicine for Woman's

dorsement as has Lydia Il. Pink

Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
the standard remedy for feminine
ills, Inflammation, liberation, and
consequent Spinal Weakness.
1t has relieved more cases of Back
ache and Local Weaknesses than
any other one remedy. II dissOlves

Irregularities and periodic pains,
Weakness of the Stomach, Indiges-.

Headache, General Debility, quickly
yield to it; also deranged organs,
causing pain, dragging sensations
and backache. Under all circum-
stances it acts in harmony with the
female system.

extreme lassitudc, "don't care "and

excitability, irritability, nervousness,
dizziness, faintness, sleeplessnessr

These are indications of Feminine

TRICKED BY NATURE
TWO KINDS OF WATER GIVEN
BY ONE WELL.

Those who have marveled at the ease
wine and water flow from the same bottle
have yet to learn that Dame Nature oc-
casionally tries a trick of that kind her.
self to amuse and mystify those who hold
close communion with her.
Quite frequently the biologists con-
survey report discoveries on their inves-
tigation tours which make of human
magicians rank imitators and place the
mysteries of nature far ahead of those
which man may invent. Among these is
q well at Welaka on ST Johns river, from
which two kinds of water are obtained.
This we'll is 300 feet deep. The length
of the casing is no feet The well was
first drilled to 100 feet. and from this
tanned The drill was then carried to
depth of 800 feet. where it encountered
disagreeable. salty taste. In order to
use both kinds of water an inner tubing
was run nearly to the bottom of the well.
Both this and the outer casing were con-
nected with pumps so that ordinary water
and mineral water can be pumped at the
same time A favorite joke played on
visitors is to give them a drink of the
weaker water in the first glass and to re-
place it with the brine in the second.
Not more than half a dozen wells of this
kind are known in the country.
In these Investigations of the waters of
Florida the national and state surveys
are cooperating. and much valuable in
formation has been gathered during the
winters work

TRANSPORTING EXPLOSIVES.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Makes Public New Regulations.

By authority Of the act approved May
80. 1908. which requires that the inter-
state commerce commission, within nine
ty days from the passage of the law,
shall make regulations for the safe trans
portation of explosives. including the
packing, marking, loading and handling
while in transit, the commission has made
public the regulations 1t has adopted. In
accordance with the terms of the law,
the regulations will become effective
three months after their PRONUNCIATION by
the commission. The law provides that
violation shall be punished by fine OF
not exceeding $1,000. or imprisonment not
exceeding eighteen months.
The regulations are said to be in accord
with the best known means Of securing
safety in transit In the main they are
the rules adopted by the bureau for the
safe transportation of explosives, repre-
sentlng all railroads in the country, after
conferences extending over a period OF
eighteen months between representatives
of the carriers and of manufacturers OF
explosives. A public hearing was held
here June %. as result of which the
rules formulated by the carriers were to
on the basis of representations made by
manufacturers of explosives.
The commission may at any time OF
its own motion or on application of any
interested party change or modify the reg
ulations now prescribed. 1t is expected
that adherence to the rules prescribed will
measurably diminish the number Of acci-
dents caused by careless or improper
packing, loading or handling Of explosives.
