Another Operation Avoided.


 Chicago, III. - want women to know what that wonderful medicine, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound, has done for me. Two of the best doctors in Chicago said I would die if I did not have an operation, and I never thought of seeing a well day again. I had a small tumor and female troubles so that I suffered day and night. A friend recommended Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it made me well woman. Mrs. ALvENA STERLING, Il Langdon St., Chicago, III.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound, made from roots and herbs, has proved to be the most successful remedy for curing the worst forms of female ills, including displacements, inflammation, fbroid tumors, irregu- larities, periodic pains, baekache, bear ing-down feeling, flatulency, indiges- tion, andnervous prostration. Itcosts but trifie to try it, and the result has been worth millions to many suffering women.

FOOD FACTS What an M. D. Learned.

A prominent Georgia physician went through food experience which he makes public:
 Tt was my own experience that first led mo to advocate Grape-Nuts food and I also know, from having pre- scribed it to convalescents and other weak patients, that the food is won derful builder and restorer of nerve and brain tissue, as well as muscle It improves the digestion and sick pa tients always gain just as I did in S.rength and weight very rapidly.
 T was in such low state that had to give up my work entirely, and went to the mountains of this state, but two months there did not improve me; in fact I was not quite as well as when I left home.
 My food did not sustain me and it became plain that I must change. Then I began to use Grape-Nuts food and in two weeks I could walk a mile without fatigue, and in five weeks returned to my home and practice, taking up hard work again. Since that time have felt as well and strong as ever did in my life.
 As a physician who seeks to help all sufferers, I consider it a duty to make these facts public'
 Trial 10 days on Grape-Nuts, when the regular food does not seem to sus- tain the body, will work miracles.

The Flood of Laws.

Press dispatches carried out of Washington the other day 8 state ment from Col. w NJ. Palmer, in charge of the enrolled bills of the sen ate, regarding the marked increase in the number of acts passed by congress during the past few years. The Fifty sixth congress, he declares, passed 1862 measures; the Fifty-seyenth, 2 S71; the Fifty-eighth, 4.041; the Fifty ninth, 6,940, and the Sixtieth, 9,711. In ten years, it will be seen, the num- Der of bills enacted increased more than 400 per cent, whereas prior to that time, according to the same au- thority, the number of measures en- acted into law varied little from con gress to congress. There is no data at hand by which the merits and de. merits of this deluge of new legisla- ton can be justly measured. Many of the bills, without doubt, were classed as private legislation" which has increased enormously of late years-bills to pension claimants incl igible under the general laws, and the like. But it is fairly plain that no such mass of legislation could have been thoroughly studied or digested by the members of either house prior to its enactment, and that much of it, for that reason, was probably mere tricious and a good deal positively harmful

Puttinu 1t Gently.

The sages of the general store were discussing the veracity of old Si Per kins when Uncle Bill Abbott am. bled in.
 What do you think about 1t, Uncle Bill?" they asked him. Would you call Si Perkins a liar?"
 Wall" answered Uncle Bill, slowly, as he thoughtfully studied the ceiling, q don't know as I go so far as to call him a liar exactly, but I do know this much: When feedin' times comes, in order to get any response from his hogs, he has to get somebody else to call 'em for him.

sponse; not an unnecessary word is used. You say good-day. Mir. Wick ersham smiles broadly again, grasps your hand, whirls, and dashes back to his desk.
 Nobody could tell whether Mr. Bonaparte was joking or serious when he talked. He had fashion of tell ing the most solemn, portentous things with his face screwed into a comical, droll grin which gave the i'm pression that he was indulging in a little foolery.
 Nobody will make this mistake about George w. Wickersham. When he announces that the government is to sue the whisky trust or the sugar trust, everybody who hears him will know that he means it.
 When word first came to Washing ton that Taft had chosen New York man named Wickersham to be attor- ney general it created much wonder ment.
 The Roosevelt trust busters shook
 
 dug into Mir. Wickersham's record. It was found that he had done effective work for James J. Hill in some old railroad suits in the middle west 12 years ago, and that he had been the master mind in big railroad merger negotiated by the Mexican govern ment. More recently MT. Wickersham had been associated with New York corporations and was general counsel for the Interborough Rapid Transit Company up to a few months ago.
 It seemed as though the new attor. ney general was a straight-out cor poration lawyer and when August Bel mont's publicity agent chaperoned him on his first trip to Washington the reformers and radicals were some what discouraged.
 After a brief talk with Mir Wick ersham the doubting Thomases were somewhat treasured. At any rate they have suspended Judgment and are willing to believe that the anti trust laws are to be enforced. Re calling the metamorphosis of Philan der Chase Knox from trust conseryer to trust buster, the hopeful ones have plucked up courage in MT. Wicker sham's case.
 'I am just trying to get acquainted with the machinery of my new office, said the attorney general when asked about his policy. "It is too early to be talking about what we expect to do We don't propose to be dragooned into bringing suits. We will bear in mind that indictments must be tried in court and decided by the evidence and the law The facts in specific case and not public clamor will de termine our course"
 District attorneys have informed thelr friends that they were forced into obtaining indictments in land fraud cases and other scandals result ing from undertaking, in many cases against their wishes and with no idea that the indictments would hold wa ter. Attorney General Wickersham is going over these records and dropping those he believes cannot be sustained and preparing to push others which he finds are well-founded.

It is announced that the package freight steamers running in the lake trade in connection with railroad lines will start two weeks earlier than they did last season. This is evidence that business in general is picking up rap idly, as the liners would not start were not freight conditions pressing.

Inoculation is now suggested as a cure for typhoid. and some expert ments to that end have answered sat isfactorily. But the proposition for a wholesale fnoculation of school chill dren if typhoid threatens a community seems rather premature, especially as the ordinary vaccination system has been attended with some terrible mis- takes in the way of dangerous virus. There is not the outcry these days that there used to be over new meth ods investigated by medical science, but there is even greater need of care and prudence in applying apparently successful experimentation.

Mike Kozman on Wednesday on the
charge OF forging the check of Matt

supposed to be Kozman presented
himself at the office Of the Mohawk
Mining company. with the pay check
belonging to Cernic, and received the
check due Cernic. which he proceeded
to cash at the bank here.
Cernic later on called at the office
for his pay and found that IL had al
ready been paid out. The authorities
got to work and ascertained that Koz-
man was roommate of Cernic's, and
that there was a likelihood that he
was the man who had secured and
cashed the check. preliminary

The manual training department of
the high school carried off more than
its share OF the honors at the Copper
County fair. as did also the various
grades of the local schools. In the
shops the blacksmith shop did ex-
ceptlonally well, carrying away seven
frsts and two seconds. Mr.. Wilson.
who has charge of this shop, came in
for a good deal of praise, it being
through his instruction that so many
prizes were won.
The machine shop, under the in
struction of Mr.. Craze, won three firsts
and two seconds. while the wood shop
under Mr.. Larson and Nyberg won one
first and three seconds. All the awards
in this shop were on lathe work 1t is
expected the wood shop would have
won other prizes had more work been
sent in. but owing to its recent change
i'm quarters the instructors were un-
able to put much time to the exhibit.
