Hot weather has very Weakening
effect on women. They become too
languid to exercise and have appe-
tite for light, tasty foods. like sal
ads and other cold connections, which

At this season women, especially,
need all their strengths to resist the
enervating' effect Of the heat. Good
digestion and regularity Of the bow
els are essential. Some fruits have
laxative properties, but they. are un-
certain in their effect, and are not
generally advised. A mild bowel
stimulant and digestant, such as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, Is prefera-
BILE because 1t Is certain in it's effect,

safe. Take a dose Of Syrup Pepsin at

Rat Destruction 500, ,O0O, 900 Year.

Rats In the United States alone
eat 500 100000 worth Of grain each
year, according to n statement issued
by the department of agriculture.
The rats bill Of fare includes al
most everything eaten by man, and a
considerable number of things not in
cluded in human dietaries, as, for in
stance, carrion, mice, kid gloves,
ivory and living horses hoofs and
COWS horns. It's most common foods
are corn and grain. If fed on grain
alone 1t is estimated that one rat will
eat 60 cents worth in q year, while
Of oatmeal 1t will consume $1.80
worth.
But the damage done Is not to be
measured by what rat eats. Through
pollution Of food products 1t does as
much damage - by eating they0. Be
sides, il does great damage by dig
gina V0dcr buildings and embanh-
ments, ald by gnawlng wood, and
cuttiHG hOlCs in sacks and by Guttlne.
Np goods and paper to make nests
The killing Of young poultry and
squads and the stealing Of eggs are
among its other destructive habits.
The raDidity with which rates
multiply Is the main reason why
man appears to make so little head
way In their destruction. 1t is cal
culated that single pair Of rats
and their progeny, breeding without
interruption and suffering no losses,
would In three years increase to more
than 20,000,000.

A dispatch from WASHINGTON says:

A dispatch from Washington says:
Herbert Knox Smith has resigned
as Commissioner of Corporations to
join the forces of Theodore Roose-
welt and the new progressive party.
He will be succeeded In all probabil-
ity by Luther Conant, Jr., OF Brook
lyin, N. Y, the present Deputy Com
missioner Of Corporations. who is de-
scribed as distinctly administration
exponent. The change will become
effective Thursday, July 18.
Mr.. Smith will go to New York for

when his political plans will be
mapped out. He admitted to-day
that he advised, the former Presi-
dent Of his contemplated action and
tentatively discussed the future at
his conference with Mr.. Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay last week, which gave
rise to rumors then that he would
withdraw his allegiance from Presi-
dent Taft.
One of "Tennis Cabinet"
A close personal friend Of Mr..
Roosevelt, Mr.. Smith was one Of the
"tennis cabinet" during the previous
administration. Many Of his friends
assert that the commissioner was
displeased over the publication dur
ing the precomvention campaign Of
the International Harvester Company
correspondence, in which Mr.. Smith s
letters TO President Roosevelt advis-
ing against the prosecution of the
corporation under the Sherman law
at that time figured prominently
The incident passed, however, with
out unpleasantness.
In his letter Of resignation, Mr..
Smith frankly advised President Taft
of his intention to join the new
party.
In his letter Mr.. Smith says he in
tends to support the new party be-
cause, he declares, that movement
includes the principles he believes in
and which he has earnestly endeav-
ored to further, 80 far as I could
during my term Of Federal service. "
Luther Conant, the new commits
sioner, was born in Acton, Mass, 80
years ago, and is now a citizen Of
Brooklyn. For years he was con-
nected with the New York Journal of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin.
He was appointed Deputy Commits
sioner Of Corporations by President

Wedding Etiquette.
(By Polly Padgett.) J

The parents Of the bride are sup
posed to furnish everything for the
wedding but the groom-in other
words, they have to pay the bill for
decorating the church or home, for
the wedding feast and the invitations.
Also for the carriages, except the one
that brings the groom and his best
man.
The groom furnishes the ring and
the license and--last but not least
himself.
In some communities the groom
also buys the bouquet for the bride
and her attendants, while she sends
him and the best man the tiny sprays
OF flowers they are to wear at the
ceremony.
1t seems that the burden OF ex-
pense rests with the brides father,
but he Is usually satisfied to put up
for all these fixtures" If 1t ends
there. At least 1t Is not considered
good form to call upon him for a
few months! And 1t Is better to post

along If nothing very alarming hap
pens to you, and the little plans for
meeting living expenses hold good.

AEROPLANE FALLS;
ARMY AV|ATORS DIE
U. s.. Soldiers Killed by Accident
Near Washington.
SECOND ACCIDENT OF DAY
Lieut.. L. c. Rockwell and Corporal 2.
S. Scott Lose Lives When Ma
chine Breaks in
Midair.

Aviation deaths Of 1912........... 20
Since Flying Began .............1e4
Washington, Sept. 30.-Two more
men died in the effort of the United
States army to conquer the air. They
were Second Lieut.. L. G. Rockwell and
Corporal F. S. Scott Of the signal
corps. t
The men we're making a flight at
the College Park (Md.) aviation field
when their aeroplane collapsed while
they were only th~irty-five feet from
the ground.
Corporal Scott was dead when the
first of the spectators reached the
wreckage. Lieutenant Rockwell died
soon after he was rushed to a hos
pital.
Lieutenant Rockwell was the fourth
commissioned officer of the United
States army to meet death in an avia-
ton accident. Two noncommissioned
men in the army also have lost their
lives in air accidents.
Flight to Get License.
Lieutenant Rockwell had started up
with Corporal Scott as a passenger to
make a test flight in his trial for a
military aviator's license. They had
been in the air about eight minutes,
ascending to a height of 500 feet, then
gliding down, had reached 35 feet
from the ground. The aviator turned
the machine upward again. Instantly
the aeroplane buckled and crashed to
the ground.
Scott was hurled several feet from
the machine, while Rockwell lay a
few feet away from him. Brother of
icers who were acting as officials of
the test flight picked up the two men.
Scott was found to be lifeless, his
clothes torn from him, and his bones
broken. Rockwell, with his head bu-
ried partly in the earth, still showed
signs of life, but was unconscious. He
never regained consciousness.
Officers who saw the accident can
not account for it. Many varying
opinions we're given.
Lieutenant Rockwell was regarded
as a most careful aviator.
One Killed.; One Injured.
Hampstead, N. Y, Sept. 3o.-John
L. Longstaff, a former English army
officer, died from Injuries received
while flying in a biplane with his me-
chanic, Pierre Chavellier. When only
seventy feet in the air a wire became
damned and the machine instantly
overturned and fell.
Chavellier, who was thrown clear of
the wreck, is seriously but not mortal
ly injured. He will probably lose his
left eye.

SENATORS MAY ASK
AMERICA INTERVENE
Report Believed to Urge Such
Course in Mexican War.
MEASURE is FOR PROTECTION
Smith of Michigan and Fall of New
Mexico Finish investigation in
Southwest and Begin Trip
to Washington.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 3O.-The
United States subcommittee appoint
ed to investigate relations with Mex
leo completed it's work in this city
on Saturday. Senator Smith says the
report will embody evidence showing
that since the beginning of the Ma
dero revolution large quantities OF
munitions of war have been shipped
to Mexico across the American Dor
der.
The report, it is believed, will hold
that the evidence adduced points to
the necessity for the United States to
intervene in Mexico in order that
Americans and American interests
receive proper protection.
The committee has beer in cont1n-
uous session since September l, at
which time the senators left Wash
ington. The investigators spent ten
days in FL Paso gathering facts and
ten days in Los Angeles. The re
mainder Of the time has been taken
up in travelling.
Question Many Witnesses.
The investigators have Intercepted
500 witnesses and taken the testi-
mony Of Is witnesses.
Speaking of the testimony, Senator
Smith said:
"The testimony of every Mexican
whom we INTERCEPTED agreed upon
this one point:
"That if arms, ammunition, n sup
plies needed in warfare were permit
ted to enter the country during the
Orozco rebellion the same as they
were during the Madero revolution,
Orozco would have been in Mexico
City long ago. The rigid enforce
ment of the law against the admission
into Mexico Of firearms and ammuni-
ton has been Orozco's greatest handi-
cap"
Analysed, the evidence shows that
during the last two years 10, 1000, 900
rounds of ammunition went into Mex
leo from Ell Paso and $4,000 rounds
from Los Angeles. 1t also shows that
from FL Paso 10000 rifles had been
sent across the border, and from Los
Angeles, 100. 1t was further shown
that more than 500 tons of dynamite
had been shipped into Mexico during
the revolutionary periods.
Most Shipments to Madero.
"a large per cent. of the total
amount of firearms, ammunition, and
dynamite" said Senator Fall, went
into the republic during the Madero
revolution"
1t is said the evidence proves con-
t1J1,1;ro1y +Iof M A ~ 0ri n n ~ uToc
used in financing the Orozco rebel
lion, but tends to establish the claim
that American funds were used to
finance the Madero revolution.
Senator Fall left, with Secretary
Fred Ireland, and it is possible that
while in Ell Paso, en- route east, ad-
ditional evidence tending to prove
that American money was used in
the Madero revolution will be OBJ
tanned.
Senator Smith, the chairman, will
spend a few days more in the south
land and join Senator Fall either in
El Paso or Washington, when the
preparation of the recommendations
will be commenced.
