Breezy American VINO Made tne

When e. Alexander Powell was the
consular representative of the United
States at Alexandria he received call
one morning from the president of an
American concern engaged in the man
ufacture OF agricultural and well drill
ing machinery. This man explained
that be was passing through Egypt
and asked II 1t would be possible to
obtain an audience with the khedive.
In 1.-THE Last Frontier" Mr.. Powell
gives an amusing account of the inter-
view:
Agriculture and it's attendant prob
lens Of irrigation and fertilization
constitute the sole hobby and amuse-
ment Of the khedive. He Is conse-
quently ready and liberal purchaser
Of all improved types of agricultural
machinery, which he puts to practical
use on his great estates. The request
of my cOmpatriot was duly transmit
ted to the grand master of ceremonies,
and shortly thereafter reply reached
me that named the day and hour when
his highness would receive us at the
palace Of Ras-el-Tin.

of it. was giving excellent satisfaction

Wan, Weary
and Worn Out
If You Feel Faggedto a Fin
ish and Utterly Used Up
Here is Quick Relief.

Half the people you meet complain of
weary muscles, stagnant brain, tangled
nerves, and a mournful desire to lay
down and just quit. Most of these people
have been using nervines that spasmod-
ically flare up the nerves only to die down
again, as die they must Avoid nerve
stimulants Bear in mind that this worn
out feeling is due to poor blood to bac-
terra in the water you drink; to the multi
plying of destructive germs in the blood
faster than they can be overcome by the
white corpuscles and to what is known
as auto-toXemia, that condition where the
venous or impure blood accumulates
faster than it can be replaced by the red
arterial blood.
One ingredient in S. S. S. serves the
purpose of stimulating the cellular tissues
to select from the blood the nutriment
that renews its health and energy.
If you feel played out go to any drug
store and ask for a bottle of S. S. S.,
Swifts Sure Specific. Insist upon having
it and do not be persuaded to take some
thing else claimed to be 'just as good"
S. S. S. is a remedy that gets at work
in a twinkling; it just naturally rushes
right into your blood, scatters germs right
and left up and down and sideways.
You feel better at once, not from
stimulant, not from the action of drugs,
but from the rational effect of a natural
medicine just as active and just as timely

Remainder of aGrrison Want to

Nogales, Ariz.-The Sonora insur-
gents were reported Monday as having
secured positions in Guaymas, where
street fighting took place.
Fifty federals captured on the out
skirts of the gulf port town said that
the remainder of the garrison was pre-

One boat loaded with soldier refugees

offset, according to the government,
by the recovery of few places by the
federals and by the work done toward
reopening the railroads in the north.

SYMBOLISM IN OUR FLAG
Union, Liberty, Bravery and Peaceful
Possession All Indicated In the
National Emblem.

When George Washington, Robert
Morris and John Ross prepared and
presented to congress a standard for
the Continental troops and the new
Union of States, every detail in our
flag was made symbolic Of truth in it's
breadth and beauty and as the proud
herald of those fundamental princi-
pies our national banner has been dis
played for 1872 years.
In the first place, it is the banner
of the union, the union of states into
a solid national compact; the union
of effort to free these states and de-
fend them; the union of hearts loyal
and true; and this idea of national
union emblazoned on our banner is
expressed in the field of blue on which
shine the stars of the several states.
To destroy this union would be to re-
verse the progress of our history and
make void the struggle and sacrifice
of our fathers
In the second place, it is the banner
of liberty. These states were united
in the cause of freedom. The struggle
of their common enemy forced them
to unite their efforts in the struggle
for common liberty. The recognized
liberty as one of the inalienable rights
to be bestowed by the creator and in
the cause of their liberty and the
liberty of their children they have
pledged their lives, their liberties and
their sacred honor Yes, it is the flag
of the freel
In the third place, it is also the
banner of bravery. Never in the his
tory of the world did more heroic men
place themselves upon the altar Of
patriotism because they feared God
and recognized the justice of their
principles, they were willing to sacri-
flee life itself. AS we look upon the
banner today and remember that it
was made expressive of brave and
patriotic men, it recalls the heroic
struggles of the Revolution. The red
signifies it is the banner of the brave.
In the last place, it is the banner
of peaceful possession. Wherever 1t
floats, our flag is the symbol of
sovereign rule. 1t stands for nation
al ownership-not of any party, large
or small, but the ownership of all the
people; and as such it is the pledge
of peace, and back of the flag stand
the people and back of the people is
God, whose truth is displayed in its
signs and symbols.

We know 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 80 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

many of them state that it has saved
them from surgical operations.

great deal OF parad1ng, considerable
oratory, the reading of the Declaration
of Independence, closing with numer-
GUS dinners and the drinking of as
many toasts as there were states in
the Union.
Fire crackers, cap pistols and other
ear-splitting devices which have caused
so many of the injuries following in
the wake of the national holiday, were
unknown a century ago. There was
sufficient incentive then to make the
biggest kind of racket. The country
was engaged in second war with
England, and the younger generation,
with the example of the Revolutionary
veterans before them, might have
been excused had they given vent to
noisy demonstrations.
According to the newspapers of the
time however, the celebration of July
4, 1912, was conducted in a very or
derby way The phrase safe and sane"
was not used in describing the events
of the day. Their substitutes a cen
fury ago were "genteel" or respect
able" One of the early celebrations
at Princeton was thus described:
The flag belonging to the town was
displayed opposite the front of the
college. At II o'clock a genteel COM
pany of ladies and gentlemen assem-
bled in the college hall, where they
were agreeably entertained by two ex-
cellent orations suitable to the occa-
sion
How safe the Fourth was in New
York 100 years ago may be judged
from one of the newspaper accounts,
which says:
We are happy to state that no evil
accident happened, and that the great
est order and tranquility were main
tanned through the day and evening
The Fourth of July, 1912, was
opened with the raising of the Stars
and Stripes over all the public build
ings and on the shipping in the har-
Dor At ten o'clock the militia with
the members of the Tammany society
the Tailors, Hibernian, Provident, Co
lumbar and Manhattan societies with
the cordwainers, shipwrights and 9th
or trades, met in the park in front OF
finished. There they drew up in order
of parade, and after national salute
had been fired by the veterans of the
Revolution, they marched down Broad
way to Beaver street to Broad, vi
Pearl to Beekman where, at the cor
ner of Gold street, the assemblage en-
tered st. Georges church. The serv
ices consisted of prayer, reading D
the Declaration of independence, new
er omitted in the old-time celebra
lions, and an Grafton by Samuel B. Ro

Earlier in the day the military or
CARNATIONS of the city were reviewed
on the Battery park by Generals Ste

marched up Broadway to Chamber,

Flutter the banner and bravely shout.
Give to the screechins old eagle room.
Tell the wondering. listening world once more
Of the glory we claim and our strength
and pride;
Let the shout be echoed from shore to shore
And waited DER prairie and mountain side;
Let the folds Of our glorious flag be tossed
High Ger the heads of unshackled men
But don't forget that the hand that is lost
Will never grow on your wrist again.
Shout OF the glory our ancestors won.
Let the Declaration be proudly read,

Cause the dogs to hide or to flee in dread.
Let the cars and the kings Of the world be
