WORK FOR CLOUD sP0TTER
Humble but Indispensable Adjunct in the Process of Taking Mov-

Among the new jobs that modern life has originated" said statistician, "that of the cloud spotter is interest ing and odd Tho cloud spotter doesn't, of course, make spots on clouds. No. no. He stand on a high roof with costly field glass and he continually notifies his employer, a moving picture maker, of the condi- tion of the heavens.
 You see, for an elaborate moving picture play a steady, uniform light is essential. The pictures must be taken all in sunshine or all in clear gray light. Otherwise they differ. Some are weak and some strong. They don't match on the screen. So the cloud spotter on the roof, searching the heavens with his glass, studying the course and velocity of the wind, as- sures his boss of a good half-hour or hour for photog-aphing a moving-pic- ture play, and thus saves waste of films that would otherwise be many times larger than his frugal salary

GULF SWEPT BY A
 STORM THURSDAY
Causes Water To Back Up i'll the Ov-
 erflOWed Land.

Morgan City, La, June 14.-Morgan City and the surrounding country were swept last night by a severe southeast wind, which brought a rise of two feet of tidewater to add to the inundation of the streets from the Mississippi crevasse water. The prin- cipal business street of the city is from three to four and one-half feet under water, or about one foot deep- CT than was experienced from the 1890 storm and tidal wave. Every telegraph wire in this section is down, and the first communication with the outside world was had at 1.45 in the afternoon, when tele- phone wire to New Orleans was patched up. No loss of life has been reported, but it will be impossible to communicate with the surrounding towns for perhaps several days.

HOME POOR PLACE TO WORK
Best, Whenever Possible, That Man Should Be Away from the House
 In Daytime.

The man of the house should not be the man in the house all day long, if 1t can be helped. If he be an artist with studio at home, a minister with a study at the top of the house, phy. sician with office hours, or any other man who is. accustomed to carry )ob his work at home, the household ac. commodates itself to him, and in a sense ;gnoNes his presence. It is true that he Is constantly subject to inter. ruptions when he works at home, his wife softly opening the door to say. "The milkman has called for his bill, and cannot make change" or Some body has asked for you at the door Will you not go down and see him?" or, Do pardon me for breaking in up. on your work, but Aunt Jennie has just telephoned that she is coming to luncheon. Won't you step over to the butchers and get porterhouse steak?"
 It is not quite ideal for the man of the house to do his work at home. For his personal convenience and com- fort it is preferable that he should do it elsewhere. The temptation to run in upon him, to read letter, tell a bit of news or ask advice, is too great for the average woman to overcome. Also. he gains something in the es- timation of the family by going away in the morning and returning at night, while for himself there is the manifest advantage of charming and restful change of scene when he steps within his front door to be stormed dpon with kisses by the children and welcomed by his true comrade and pirtner on the road.-Womans Home Companion.

 "She was an ardent reader of the Scriptures and, having an exceptional ly clear, vigorous mind, she was able at even that advanced age, to repeat word for word the entire Gospels of St Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke and St John. In addition she could recite lengthy passages from books of ia vorite authors. and many poems, in clnding epics and extended lyrics. My mother was also 8 good Latin scholar She had seven daughters, of whom six including myself. survive, as do siA teen great-grandchildren and twenty one grandchildren"

 Good It Has Done.

We krow of no other medicine which has been SO successful in relieving the suffering of women, or received so many genuine testimonials, as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 In nearly every community you will find women who have been restored to health by this famous medicine. Almost every woman you meet knows of the great good it has been doing. among suffering women for the past 90 years.
 In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, are files containing hundreds of thousands of letters from women seek ing health, in which many openly state over their own signatures that they have regained their health by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, many of whom state that it has saved them from surgical operations.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound is made from roots and herbs, and is perfectly harmless.
 The reason why it is so successful is because it contains ingredients which act directly upon the female organism, re- storing it to healthy and normal activity.
