Some Pointers.

If you belittle yourself, you
will be little.
1t takes two to make a quar-
rel, but only one to be a peace
maker.
Many time a second thought
is best. Wait for it.
1t seems to be a part of the
plan of life that we must make
mistakes before we learn how
not to do.
The things we suffer from the
most are the things we do tC
ourselves.
Greatness and highness do not
consist of social position or rich
es. There are things greater
than these.
One sure test of the ladyshir
of a woman is the way in which
she treats the one who work fol
hire.
B e many-sided. Know al
sorts and conditions of people.
People will teach you more OF
life and will keep your heart
warmer than books.
Unconsciously you reveal your
self by talking most of that
which fills your mind. KeeE
your mind clean or you will be &
contamination.
If you waste time in plying
yourself because you think yol
are not appreciated, it mean.
you are not doing anything thai
is worth while.

To expect uniformity of opin-

Cures Dyspepsia;
Z Trial Is Free

1t is popular mistake that only
wealthy people who eat rich and
highly-spiced foods suffer from dys-
pepsia, or, as it is also known, indi-
gestion. The laborer in the street,
the worker in the field also finds him
self a victim Of this disorder. Among
the very greatest sufferers from 1t are
women
Dyspepsia is indicated by a constant
feeling of lazinesS, by loss of appetite and
troubled sleep, by sour stomach and dis
tress after eating, by bad complexion and
lusterleSs eyes.
There is no surer and speedier cure for
this trouble than DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup
Pepsin, which dyspeptics have been using
successfully for twenty years. This great
herb laxative compound cured Capt. Clark,
of Buffalo, Ia. OF dyspepsia and sour
stomach that he had had for forty years,
or until the lucky day that he heard of
DR.. Caldweil's Syrup Pepsin. 1t cured
joel Adams, OF Montgomery, Ala, after
suffering continuously for sixteen months.
These are only few Of the many. But
ii is not expensive to be cured with this
grand remedy, as it can be bought at any
drug store in a 56cent or 81 bottle.
Your very neighbors are probably life
lons users Of DR.. Caldweil's Syrup Pepsin,
but if you want TO know without expense
what it will do for you personally, send
your name to DR.. Caldwell and he win be
glad to send you a free trial bottle. He
is actually anxious to have you make q
test OF his remedy
Thousands of families everywhere keep

gency as constipa ton, sour stomach, in

Mayor William r. orace's Story Of

the projected monument to be erected
over the sarcophagi Jagged. Then
Gen. Horace Porter organized COM
mittee which speedily secured the
fund needed. It was about the time Of
the dedication Of the monument that
William R. Grace. twice mayor of New
York city, narrated to me this hitherto
unpublished story of the manner In
which New York was selected as the
burial place Of the great commander.
Il was serving my second term as
mayor Of New York. said Mr.. Grace,

ten with his mortal illness. | kept my
self constantly informed as to his con-
dition. At one time, remember, word
was brought to me that the chances
were strongly in favor of his recovery.
But within twenty-four hours there
after l received authoritative infor-
nation that the disease was mortal
and that. in all probability. General
Grant could not last the summer out.
Now, l knew from many chats l
had had with Grant after he became a
resident Of New York that he was
very fond OF the city. Its activities
appealed to him greatly and as he
walked about the streets he was fond

first to suggest that Fifth avenue and
Thirty-fourth street would be an ideal
location for a big hotel. Today one
of the worlds most famous hotels is
located there.
Il also knew, when I learned def
initely that Grant was In his last Ill
ness, that efforts would undoubtedly
be made to persuade his family that
his burial place should be either in
the national cemetery at Arlington. or
at West Point, Galena, or Chicago. But

place should be New York. the city
which he had selected as the one In
which to spend his closing years and
which. knew beyond peradventure of

New York named as his burial place.

Pittsburg.-The spirit OF the uplift

women and their housekeeping abil-

science committee Of the schools in
McKeesport the other night In estab-
fishing classes In cooking for prospec-

The committee, on application of a
number of mothers with eligible
daughters, announces the cooking de-

Almost simultaneously In Pitts

he pays for the spices. For every
barrel of cider he needs two bushels
Of nice sweet apples. The ordinary

barrels of cider and four bushels OF

If the farmer preferred to sell the
apple butter he can realize from sixty
cents to one dollar gallon-twice
as much as he could get for the apple
butter that was made during the

of cider and 1000 gallons of apple

BAN ON UNMARRIED WOMEN
Tufts President Says MIddle-Aged
Spinsters Should Be Banished as
College Teachers.

Medford, Mass.-President Fred
erick w. Hamilton Of Tufts college
has come out with the positive as
sertion that unmarried woman teach
ers should be barred from girls col
leges because their influence is harm
full. He says:
Il do not believe that young girls
who are just passing into young WON
anhood are in the proper environment
when they are continually brought in.
to close personal touch with elderly
unmarried women.
The larger proportion of women's
colleges are In the hands of woman
teachers, however, and the education-
al atmosphere of the places is fem.
mime, the peculiar type of feminity
developed by highly cultured. middle
aged unmarried women. Now, while
the type may be very fine Individual
ly, 1t is not the proper one to create
the atmosphere for girls at the for
native period Of their lives.
Girls just coming into womanhood
are receiving their most valuable i'm
pressions and their future attitude to-
ward the questions of this time. Their
outlook on life, which believe is the
most important part Of the college
training, should be broad, and 1t can
not be. so unless formed In an en-
vironment of breadth.

too, and In preparatory schools the
influence of the unmarried. middle
aged woman Is counteracted by the
dominating influence Of the home. l
believe that an element of married
teachers, widows, who were teachers
before marriage, perhaps, would be
beneficial. The relationship OF these
schools and their pupils is different.
however, because the pupils live at
home. The girls at college live
purely academic life. They are on
their resources and they face prob
lens that are quite new to them.
They are to be trained to become
competent and important parts of
life, we hope. They need large out
look and broad viewpoint. The
elements which go to give these must
be brought into their lives at this
psychological time, and all elements
that tend toward narrowness should
be eliminated"

chair as weapon. and directly across
the aisle from him, and awaiting the
attack In a spirit of defiance, was
General James B. Weaver, the Green
back party's presidential candidate OF

SAYS WORLD is GOING MAD
SO Declares Or. Forbes Winslow, Ex-
pert on Criminal Lunacy, In
Recent Publication.

London.-According to DIR. Forbes
Winslow. who acquired international
celebrity by his sedulous insistence on
his theory that Jack the Ripper" was
a homicidal maniac. the world is 60
ing mad.
DR.. Winslow considers that the rate
of progress to that contamination is
shockingly rapid. In book Of remi-
niscences this expert in criminal luna
cy says:
by simple arithmetical calcula-
ton 1t can be shown the exact year
when there will be more insane per-
sons In the world than sane. We In
England are gradually approaching,
with the decadence of our youth, near
proximity to nation Of madmen.
by comparing the lunacy statistics
of 1859 with those of 1909, four de-
cades having interviewed. my refec-
lions are sad indeed. A terrible but
real curse is in store, and an insane
world seems to me certainty in the
not far distant future.
I'm 1869, out Of population of
22,223.299, there we're 53,177 registered
lunatics In England and Wales. there
being one lunatic in every AIS of total
population, whereas in 1909, out Of a
population of 35,756.615. the number of
registered lunatics was 128,7S7, max
ing on an average one lunatic in every
27S of population. So that in forty
years an enormous increase in lunacy
is seen. Surely dreadful future for
nations still unborn to have to cope
with.
These are the facts, and sad to re-
fleet upon. They must be accepted.
They cannot in any way be challeng-
ed"
DR.. Winslow's phraseology is some
times unhappy, as when he writes. for
instance:
Il have breathed the atmosphere of
lunacy for over sixty years, and the
conclusions arrive at are pessimistic
IN the extreme"
