INSPIRED AUTHORS.

Ideas Come to Them. 1t Would Seem,
In Spite Of Themselves.
Bernard Shaw has stated more than
once that he is inspired" IL am
pushed" he says. "by natural need
to set to work TO write down CONVEX
sations that come into my head unac-
countably. At first | hardly know the
speakers and cannot hnd names for
them. Then they become more and
more familiar. and learn their ma mes.

driving at and why it is they have

Other writer's and painters, too. have
described their processes in a similar
way. William Blake was positive and
emphatic in describing himself as a
mere amanuensiS. writing down the
words that were audibly spoken to
him. and he painted in the same way
from a model set before his eyes and
visible to him alone. Rodin, the
French sculptor, gave his assent to the
same idea of models visible to the eve
of the artist. Dickens said that bis
characters were actually visible and
audible to him. and 1t will be remem.
bered that "Kubla Khan" was dictat

WASHINGTON AS A JUMPER.
The Father of His Country Was a
Champion In His Day.

The Father Of His Country Was a
Champion In His Day.
There is an athletic record Of which
every American ought TO be pr al
though it is not found in any spo. .ng
chronicle. 1t was made by George
Washington of Virc II and was a
runni broad jump OF twenty-five feet
three inches.
Exactly when and where Washington
made this jump is not known, but 1t
seems to be historical
Thackeray refers to it in ''The Vir-
ginians." where he tells of the jumping
match between Harry Warrington and
Lord March and Ruglen. Harry wins
with a jump Of twenty-one feet three
inches against his lordship's eighteen
feet six inches. In his letter to Vir-
GINA. Harry says he knows there was
another in Virginia, Colonel G. Wash
ington. who could clear foot more.
If Thackeray's figures are correct
Washington must have been wonder
full athlete. He could easily have won
any intercollegiate championship com
petition up to 1889 and most Of the ma
tional championships. Then. too. it
must be remembered that the future
Father Of His Country did not wear
spiked shoes like the athletes of today,
nor did he have a cinder path for his
run nor five inch plank for his
''take-off,' these improvements not hav-
ing come into general use as early as
the middle Of the eighteenth century.
Washington today would be a record
breaker.-St Louis Globe Democrat.

Thousands Are Turning from This
Dangerous Drug.
A Safe Vegetable Substitute 10 Olive
Tablets for the Liver.

DR.. F. M. Edwards, prominent
physician of Ohio, has discovered a
new laxative and liver toner in COM
bination of vegetable materials, mix
ed with olive oil, which is in effect al
most exactly like the old and untrust-
worthy calomel. except that there
are none of the bad after effects of
calomel
DR.. Edwards has long been foe of
calomel, though he recognized its value
along with its dangers.
His distrust of the uncertain drug
eventually started him years ago to-
wards experiments with the view of
discovering a substitute, and he is to-
day in possession of the long-sought-
for combination, which is in the shape
of little sugar-coated, olive-oil color
ed tablet.
The results of II years experience
and practice are embodied in these
marvellous little tablets.
They are called DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets. They oil the bowels, and their
effect on the liver has been the means
OF relief to many of DR.. Edwards regu-
lar patients as well as to thousands
of others who have suffered and were
afraid of calomel
They are gentle in their action, yet
always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and
clearing the system of harmful i'm
purities. 10c and Csc per box.

RAILWAYS OF MEXICO.

A reduction in the ratio of cost of
conducting transportation to total
operating revenues is hardly what one
would expect to find in the last an
nual report of the National Railways
of Mexico. In the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1912, conducting transporta-
ton, which includes traffic expenses,
amounted to 25.12 per cent of gross
earnings, as compared with 27.6S per
cent in 1911. A reduction in the ratio
of transportation expenses to gross is
an invariable sign of better opera
ton.

WHAT IS THE USE OF
CATCHING COLD?
None Whatever, Says a Prominen,
Physician.


Physician.
S. B. Hartman, Nj. D., of Columbus,
Ohio, sends out the following pun
gent and pointed advice to the read
ing public:
You catch cold easily You have
several colds every winter. You do
not exactly have catarrh, and yet
there is more or less stoppage in the
nose. You have got so you expect
to have cold every month or so.
Your trouble is lack of resistance.
You lack vital powers to resist the
climatic conditions. With anything
that would raise the nervous tone or
invigorate the nutritive system you
could 60 right through the winter
without catching cold. 1t is a foolish
waste of energy and reckless risk of
your life to continue in this way.
have way to avoid all this. if You
will take cold water towel bath
every morning. 1t should be taken
very rapidly, with a wet towel, and
can be taken anywhere. in a hotel or
small bedroom. A quart of water is
all that is necessary. Rub yourself
until you are thoroughly warm and
dry.
Now. in addition to this you should
take tablespoonful of Peruna be-
fore each meal, and if you are out late
at night and exposed somewhat to
cold, crowds and stuffy rooms, take
tablespoonful before going to bed al
SO.
If you will follow these simple. plain
directions you won't catch cold again.
TRY 1t. Write me about it. 1t will
work, and be worth a fortune TO YOU.
For men or women, old or young.
strong or weak, this advice is appli-
cable and there are no failures when
1T is properly followed.

KENNEDY CONFIDENT.
Believes Visit Of Congressional
Committee Will Result in
Passage Of Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. TO-
A combination bridge across the
Mississippi river to connect kco-
kuk, Iowa, and Hamilton, H., will
be we'll under way year hence, Is
the prophecy of Representative
Charles A. Kennedy Of the First
Iowa district. Mr.. kennes5 feels
this forecast is justified by the fe-
vorabIe action of the committee on
interstate and foreign commerce
upon his request to send It's sub
committee on bridges to keokuk
so that It may see just what It Is
that is proposed to be done. A cor
poration known az the inter-City
Bridge Company stands ready and
has been ready for long time, to
build tho bridge and would have
been building it at this time If the
right had been granted 1t by con-
gross.
The commerce committees sub
committee on bridges Is headed by
Judge Adamson OF georgia, CHAIR
man of the committee, and Repre-
sentatives Stevens of Minnesota,
Sims Of Tennessee, Esch of WIscon-
sin and Montague Of Virginia. The
party will be piloted to keokuk by
Congressman Kennedy, arriving
there on the morning Of Monday,
December IS.
The charter to allow this bridge
to be built viii specify that any ad-
dltional steam or electric interur-
ban railways which may be built
in the years to come and may want
to use this bridge, shall have a
right to cross over upon it on equal
terms with other lines.
