scarcely able to do my work. 1took doc

but was not helped. I had such awful

weak I could hardly walk and could not
ride. Ioften had to sit up nights to sleep
and my friends thought I could not live
long. At my request my husband got
me bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg

take it. By the time had taken the
seventh bottle my health had returned
and began doing my washing and was a
well woman. Atone time for three weeks

with no signs of my old trouble return

after seeing what it did for me. Iwould

Curious Benefits of Drought.

Drought is dreaded by farmers and

the large supply at greater depths Is

But u drought Is natures subsoil ploW

There used to be IN old German

were works of art. He used no tools

took him Il week to do the portrait OF
a banknote. He figured that his
handicap was worth about So a day
and worked under the idea that the
world owned him fair living ana
should not object If his talent leo MIN
toward portrait painting, with twenty
dollar bills for models. Even jail
terms failed to impress him seriously

value of some others was said to DE
even greater. so marvellous was the

BRASS WORKERS.
Th,irs Is Dangerous Trade, and They
Usually Die Young.

The present rate Of mortality Of the
brass foundryman is two and a half
times that Of the farmer. Respiratory
diseases, particularly consumption, ac-
count for the difference. Comparative
tables based on sickness and invalid
ism, If "obtainable, would show even
greater differences.
The age statistics in the trade are
startling. OF 1,751 brass foundrymen
but seventeen over fifty years Of age
were found and q bare 200 over forty
years of age. When asked the cause
of this officials invariably stated:
They got too old. They can't turn
out the work they should every day"
But what sort of an industry is this in
which nearly six-seyenths Of its fol-
lowers are too old at the age of forty?
1t Is not thus among ironmoidcrs, most
of whom are hale and hearty ct"H It
sixty years and still able to turn u.t
their full quota Of work daily. Work.
men claim they ARE knocked out by
the brass fumes"
these age StdtlSllcS loI ShiSo6o

beyond sixty years. A superannuation

ten years"

they can be prevented by striking III

SPEED IN BASEBALL.
What an infieId Double Play Means In
Time and Action.


Time and Action.
In an article on baseball in Every
body's Magazine the writer shows the
wonderful speed that is used in making
some Of the plays He says:
Making first base. though more dra
matte to watch, is an uneventful ex'
pedition compared with the trip to sec
ond. 1t takes fast man TO negotlate
the journey in 3 3-5 seconds. No thrown
ball goes over 300 feet. and if bhtted
ball travels beyond the safe limits OF
single throw it must be relayed by the
fielders. While you are watching the
outfielder scamper after the ball the
relay line is being swiftly formed in
the infield. There could be no such
quick and accurate fielding Of deep
outfield hits if the outfielder taking the
ball did not know that behind him was
ranged his line Of relays ready to take
the ball the instant he could turn and
throw it. The relay line in profes
sional team forms almost automaticai
ly.
To make a double play in the infield
the shortstop, for example. must field
a ball that has been batted about l35
feet. He passes the ball from ten to
twenty-five feet to the second base
man. who must then throw it ninety
feet 10 first. All this while the batte
is running ninety feet. trick that. as
we have seen. it takes snappy run.
ner to turn in 3-5 seconds. It's a
close call and a case of utilizing the
fraction of second. but with sharp
fielding the margin is all on the side
Of the felders The double play is the
menace ever threatening the runner on
first
