Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound regularly and used the Sanative Wash and now have no more troubles that way" Mrs. AL. ,HERzoe, 5722 Prescott Ave-, St. Louis, Mo.
 Because your case is difficult one, doctors having done you no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. It surely has cured many cases of female ills, such as in- fiammation, Liberation, displacements, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache. that bearing-down feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and ner- vous prostration. It costs but trifle to try it, and the result is worth mil lions to many suffering women.

Firebug Again on His
 Job in New Haven

New Haven, May 23.-Four bell alarms coming within the space of a few hours, one followed by second alarm, kept the members of the fire department pretty well on the jump Saturday evening, and three of the fires were of a nature that gives the impression that the frebug who wor- ried New Haven a couple of months ago is on the job again. The most serious fire of the night was discov- cred just before midnight in the sta- bIes of C. A. Moeller, in the rear of the property of the Grand Opera house, back of Crown and Temple streets, and when the fire was dis covered the flames were already leap ing up in great headway. The private box of the Grand Opera house was pulled for the fire and when it came in six minutes later for a second alarm there was great excitement about the center of the city

PROF, w. P. BLAKE
 DIES IN WEST
New Haven Man Who RecOm- mended That the United States
 Annex Alaska.

New Haven. May 2S.-The news of the death of William Phipps Blake, of this city. at the home of his sister, Mrs. Charles T. Blake. in Berkeley, Cal, has been received here. Prof. Blake died shortly after receiving the degree of LL. D. at the University of California. to which place he went from Tucson, Ariz. a few days ago.
 Prof. Blake was 84 years old and the greater part of his early life was spent in travel and exploring, not only in this country but in China and Japan. Following extensive travel in Japan years ago, Prof. Blake crossed over to Alaska and was one of the first men to make this trip. After a short time spent in research work In Alaska ne was convinced of the vast wealth and resources of that section of the con- tinent and it was due to his discover ies and recommendations concerning Alaska that led the United States government to purchase it from Rus sia.
 In the early fifties Prof Blake spent much time in exploration work for the government in connection with rail- road routes over the Rockies and on the Pacific coast and was a pioneer in this sline of work. For years he was connected with the University of Ari~ zona as professor of geology and min eralogy and at the time of his death was professor emeritus of those sub jects at that seat of learning.
 Prof. Blake spent few months of the year at the University of Arizona and left his work there to go to Cali fornia for the purpose of receiving the honorary degree from the University of California.
 His home here was on Mill Rock, where he spent the greater part of the year. Prof. Blake was a first cousin of Henry T. Blake, New Haven's dis tinguished citizen. and leaves three sons. pr. Joseph A. Blake of New York. a noted physician of that city, T. Whitney Blake of New York, and Frank Blake of Litchfield.
 His body will be brought here for burial.

N0THNAGLE FAvORS HALF HOLIDAY
 DURING SUMMER

To Editors of Farmer
 Gentlemen: We notice there is movement on foot for closing the stores through the hot summer months Friday afternoons, making a half holiday of same. This has been done for some years by the furniture dealers and other lines of business in New Haven and other cities and we believe it is g. move in the right direction and heartily endorse it, if 1t can be made the general rule. This gives the help a solid half day of recrea- ton which is some benefit, while an hour each day really don't amount to much. We hope the merchants in general will see it that way and try it out this summer. We believe if once tried it will become a permanent thing. We would like to see the papers help it along.

PLANT CIRCULATION.
Comparable With the Circulation OF
Blood In Animals.

It is generally known that plants
have a circulation comparable with
the circulation of blood in ami
mails. but it is not so well known
that their force of liquid propulsion
is vastly greater than any animals
blood pressure, even the elephants.
The force of an animals blood as it
circulates through the largest ar
teries is incapable of raising a COL
umn of water over seven feet high,
whereas the force of a plants sap,
even of a small vine, can raise a COL
umn of water from forty to eighty
feet high, exerting a pressure of
over two atmospheres.
The way this is shown in the lab
oratorv is to tear off a small branch
of a tree and fix it air tight into a
rather large short tube filled with
water. To the bottom end Of the
thick tube is attached a small thin
tube filed with colored water and
having its lower end immersed in a
vessel Of colored water. This exper-
iment simply shows the rate of alb
sorption of fluid by a plant. The
colored water is seen to rise in the
small tube at a comparatively rapid
rate, an inch or so a minute. To
show the height to which the pres
sure can force water, a tube has to
be fitted into the bark of a plant
and the root supplied with water.
Halcs first showed this with a
small vine, which he severed and to
which he applied a tube. The fluid
rose to over forty feet. De CandoIle
tried other plants and in one in
stance secured a height of eighty
feet, or ver two atmospheres' pres
sure. The cause of this force was
long considered due to capillary at
traction caused by the hairlike
tubes in plants. This failing to ac-
count for the enormous force de-
veloped, a microscopic examination
showed that these vessels had a pro-
gressive contracting motion similar
to that in the arteries of animals
and that the explanation in each
cast was the same.
Thus the vitality or principle OF
life that allows this motion is in all
cases the direct cause.-ChicagC

Bears and Bread.

as it intelligence or is it an ir-

says, that induces the bears in the
zoo to carry their bread to- the pool

an. mo matter by what name you
describe bruins mental state. it is
interesting to watch him with the
loaf of bread. He knows that it is
dry eating, so he carries it in his
mouth to the pool and drops it in
to soak. The grizzly will take two
or three loaves and put them in the
water and then jump in himself and
,at them. The big Kadiak bear
throws in several loaveS and then
goes fishing for them. The bears
often fight for a piece of meat. but
rarely for bread."-New York Sun.

THE STATE CENSUS.

Canton News: Still we do not get
the census returns and it is doubtful
II they are ready for the legislature.
The News prediction is that the total
population of South Dakota will ex-
coed $50, 900 and that the unit of con-
gressional appointment will not be
greater than Ole, 600. II this predic-
ton is correct we will get three con-
gressmen. In any event the con-
gressional and legislative apportion-
ment bills are going to be matters of
supreme interest another spring
Clearly the unit for legislative appor-
tionment must be raised and that
means that many counties in the
eastern portion of the state will
be given reduced representation.
There can he hut fortu-fiya ssr,at ors
and there can be but forty Ave sem
ators and there are already that many
but provision must be made for the,
new settlers west of the Missouri.
