FEMININE HIGH filters.

When the heavier-than-air flying ma
chine was proved to be a mechanical
possibility 1t was predicted that avia-
ton would soon become a fad similar
TO that OF automobiling or. In the
earlier days, bicycling. Despite recent
mishaps in the air which have cost
the lives of several experimenters,
this forecast seems likely to be veri-
fed. Already factories are turning
out airplanes to order both In TINS
country and abroad. and soon IL VIII
bS possible for anyone who fancies an
aerial career to equip himself with an
up-to-date machine of any one OF nan
a dozen or more types. Indeed. there
are now at work several thousand
skilled artisans making airplanes for
public use, and in all probability next
season will see an atfplane owned prl-
vately in every large city, while pos
sibly the town that does not possess
a sky pilot among its followers OF
venturesome sport will feel outclassed
and distanced in the race Of progress
1t has just been announced that three
French monoplanes are now on their
way across the Atlantic, having been
manufactured especially for the Amer
lean feminine market. They are In
every respect the most ladylike ma
chimes that have been turned out thus
far, and it is the hope of the French
manufacturers that after they have
been demonstrated by trio of exceed
ingly attractive Parisiennes there
will be almost a competition for their
ownership, and the American market
for these machines will have been es'
tablished.

FLINT SHOWS GAIN.
Shows An Increase of 1874 Per Cent
in Past Decade.

All census records were beaten
when the population of Flint, Mich,
was announced. In 1900 there were
but 1903 people in Flint, according
to the census enumeration, while 10
years later, or in 1910, Flint's popula-
ton has increased to $3.50, or 1912
per cent, which breaks the worlds rec
ord for increases among the smaller
cities In other words, Flint has shown
an increase in population during the
last decade of 5.447. In 1890, the
population of Flint was but 9.S03.
Census officials attribute this over
whelming increase in population to
the automobile industry, of which
Flint is a sister city to Detroit.
The population of Battle Creek in
1910 is 25,200, compared with 1868 in
1900 and 1897 in 1890 This Michi-
gan city has increased her population
by 36.1 per cent. as compared with an
increase for the preceding decade OF
$500 or 407 per cent.
According to the figures given out
the population of Jackson is 81 ABB
in 1910, as compared with 25,1S0 in
1900 and 20,79S in 1890. The increase
from 1900 to 1910 is 6,253 or 24.S per
cent, as compared with an increase for
the preceding decade Of 1882 or 21.1
per cent.

Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means SO much
to me that for the sake of other suffer-
ing women i am willing to make my
trouble public so you may publish
this letter. Mrs. CHAs. BARCLAY,
R.F. D., Graniteville, VT.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia +.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and 1T is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
1t costs but little to try Lydia Z.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs Barclay says, it is worth noun
tains of gold to suffering women.

RESPONSIBILITY a Problem.

While this seems to settle the prob
lem Of the number of victims of the
accident, the matter of responsibility
for the wreck is far from being set
tied. The question agitating the
minds of the persons who were on
the train, the residents of Durand and
the whole locality is:
Who is at fault, the fiagman of the
wrecked train, or the engineer whose
train crashed into the sleeping car?
Trainmen and others believe that
one of the two is to blame. but on
which is the responsibility to be
placed?

Texas continues to raise some
things which are very much to her
credit and advantage. Among them
are big crops. This year the Lone
Star state will distinguish herself
especially by the corn yield. The
latest estimate by the Texas agricul-
tural bureau is 210,000,000 bushels,
against 122,500,000 bushels last year
and 201 100000 bushels in 1908, the
latter being an exceptional output.
The agricultural resources Of Texas
are enormous, and the grain harvest
is but one part Of the business. The
state is beating Bermuda In early
onion growing, raises some Of the best
and earliest potatoes in the market
and supplies other vegetables. In
fact, 1t is doing it's part in showing
that the natural resources of the
United States are far from exhaustion.

Lightning makes trees explode, like

lightning does not burn them up, nor
does the electric flash split them like
an ak. The bplt flows through into all
the damp interstices OF the trunk and
into the hollows under it's bark. All
the moisture at once is turned into
steam, which by its immediate explo-
sion rips open the tree. For centuries
this simple theory puzzled scientists,
