A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD &
jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you ara
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had a personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II
I had my way 1 would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
20 the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
Regular size bottle, containing IS pills,
25 cents. Munyon's Laboratory, SD e.

GETTING Acquainted.

When a new family moves in next
door the old boy and the new boy
climb up on the fence to get acquaint-
ed and it is done as follows:
What's your name?"
None of your business-what's
yours?'
None of your business. You are

"And don't you to mel"

Musical Note.

A music teacher in q New England
school was trying to make the chill
dren in the fourth grade understand
the value of triplet-to get them to
know that three-quarter notes under
a brace were equal to two quarter
notes.
She couldn't make them under
stand; and finally, in despair, she
asked: "What are three little babies
born all at the same time called?"
"Accidentals! shouted a small boy,
with a vague remembrance Of the les
son of week before.

cries of ways and means for doing things that
have been done heretofore, but of doing them
more easily, more quickly, more economically
or more effectively than has heretofore been
deemed possible.
The national government has been taking
the lead In scientific, mechanical and engi-
neering development to a constantly increas-
ing extent in late years. For, of course, the
reader will understand that in speaking of
Uncle Sans current triumphs in the field of
invention and experiment, reference is made
not to the federal government as represented
by its own experts and employees. Now the
national government has always been a
tributor to the cause of science and invention,
there being dual reasons for it's activity in
such direction On the one hand the central
government, with paternal instinct, has been
bound to contribute in every way to the we'll
being of the whole people and is well
known such benefit Is more often than not con-
ferred through the instrumentality of scien-
tifc discoveries and inventions. Obviously
then it is up to Uncle Sam to foster Yankee
ingenuity by every possible means
Yet the second incentive to federal activity
in this broad field has been even more of
spur than the first. 1t arises from the fact
that the national government u.s. to extent

and the mechanical lungs of the machine. 1t is
said Of this invention that it will make
a corpse breathe" meaning that it will compel
the diaphragm to move in a body in which life
is wholly extinct. The new device costs $780,
making it of the worlds most expensive
pieces of rescue equipment, as it is certainly
one of the most effective. Comparatively little
experience is required for its successful opera
tion.
Government officials have within the past few
months invented several machines for
quickening and cheapening the manufacture OF
paper money and postage stamps and whereas
these inventions may not find very extensive
adoption outside the government workshops.

Among these inventions is remarkable

 ssFers They Burst.
 What Rs soap bubbleg Nothing but a film of water molecules held together by the cohesive power or soap in solu- ton. A soap bubbles size and strength depend upon the right composition of the mixture that furnishes its mate rial The colors in a soap bubble are due to what Is known in physics as the interference of light, and depend upon the varying thickness of the film of water
 The observer who watches a bubble as it Is blown VIII notice that the col ors rapidly chase one another over the flmy globe. He will also see that they vary in hue growing less and less bright at the top of the bubble because there gravity stretches 1t downward and makes the film thin nest.
 It Is a singular fact that the last color to appear on a soap bubble just before it breaks Is a gray tint. The thickness of the film when this tint appears upon it Is less than the one hundred and -thCusandth Of an inch.
 Were a soap bubble Co be magni6ed to the sine of the earth mud the mole cules maguiRed in proportion, then the whole structure would be as coarse grained as a globe of small leadshot touching one another at their surfaces.
 In the blowing of a soap bubble there Is presented the spectacle Of the stretching Of a liquid to the extreme limit of It's capacity. In this way we come nearer to a sight of the invisible molecules of matter than could be got in any other way 10 matter how elah- crate the experimenf--ExchAnge

Most of the changes referred to are. of course, very slight when cornpared with the size of the earth itself.
 The operation of atmospheric and oceanic and other similar causes Is continuaIy bringing about changes ia the shspe Of the earth's crust one of the most interesting of the agencies whereby such alterations are effected is the carrying power of rivers, Wher. ever a great quantity of sand and gravel Is beirg brought down from the interior of a continent and poured Into the sea, as. for instance. along the northwestern coast Of Europe or the gulf coast of the United States, inc weight of the esrth's crust Is slowly increasing. and the consequence IS seen in the graa1sl subsistence Of the shore
 Such a sinking has been going on for thousands or years along the North sea coast and on the continental side of the British channel A similar de pression Is occurring 0u ihe eastern edce of our own country and along the gulf of Mexico.
