PEEVIsH CHILDREN
SUFFER. WITH WORMS

Don't be angry with your child be-
cause he or she is continually irrita-
Bile. In ninety-nine out of one hundred
cases you will find that the trouble Is
worms
Among the common symptoms of
the presence of round worms are
nervousness-wh which often leads to
epilepti-form attacks dizziness, YER
tigo, capricious appetite, restless
sleep, itching of the eyes and nose,
nausea and often hysteria. Round
worms are several inches in length,
and infest the stomach. Occasionally
several hundred are found in single
person. Thread worms are smaller,
often not longer than a quarter of an
inch. The symptoms denoting their
presence are about the same, but in
this case the child has no appetite.
Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge is unsur-
passed in removing worms. Not only
will it destroy them, but its tonic er-
fects will restore the stomach rG
lhealthy activity. AS Jayne's Tonic
|Vermifuge seldom purges, the indica-
lions of its beneficial results will be
the improved condition of the person
using it.
Millions of parents have praised
this medicine for more than eighty
years. Insist upon Jayne's Tonic

PLOT TO BURN
LUMBER YARD
Continued from page IL

The chief function of the mill
tants today is to achieve publicity,
which is difficult and costly, even
with suffragettes at work who are ad-
mittedly adopts.
For $4,000 the suffragettes could
vertisement for the cause as we OBJ
tanned for nothing when the govern
ment took hold and shut up our head
quarters.
The British government has now
harnessed its machinery to the suf-
frage car, making itself valuable
though unconscious agent in the work
of acquainting the powerful with the
evil plight Of the less.
'In the arresting of seven women,
Scotland Yard has arrested the at
tention of tens of thousands of people
who hitherto have been unmindful,
and the expenses of our propaganda,
which were formerly borne by the
suffragettes and their friends alone,
are now shared by the general pub
lie with the unwilling help of the anti
suffragist Taxpayers.
THE government delusion is col
lcsal if it imagines that it can con-
quer the Women's Social and Political
Union, which cannot be conquered.
1T is not the least surprised and in
fact suffered not even the slightest
temporary embarrassment from We'd
nesday's police action. The govern
ment does not know the great sys-
tenn we have, and the effectiveness to
which 1t Is developed. It has no idea
of the vast ramifications and the wide
spread character CT the union.
"The immediate effect of the gov
ernment's activity will be to bring
hundreds of recruits to the cause, to
increase enmity and bitterness, and
to drive us to underground methods
which history shows are always the
most dangerous.
.It Is to be a bloodless revolution
hut revolution nevertheless, with no
bounds set, and we shall not cease
until we get the ballot.
THE American women should sym.
pathize with the English militants and
encourage them, for the movement in

NEW YORK, May 2.-Perhaps the
reason for the hesitant attitude of

fact that the European stock ax-
changes, reopening after yesterdays

of some rather strong gains, but 4
tone of moderation and restraint

real drift of events in the Balkan

recent experiences have got on fnan-

Most of the low prices were made
in the last hour when the market be-
came distinctly weak and many of the
active stocks sold fractionally below
yesterday. On this decline trading
became extremely dull and it was evil

With Accuracy of Target Rifle.

Drilling six-incl, holes into the hard
rock thirty feet deep and thirty feet
hack from the rock shelf Of the quarry
or tailrace, he would load the holes
with tons OF high explosive In such
way that the rock would be rent
and lifted just eighteen feet to fall
back into its former location exactly
except broken into fragments. Kings
ton can shoot tons of high explosive
in drill holes with greater accuracy
of result than most men can shoot a
target rife. On this one job of the
Keokuk water-power, he excavated
over million tons of rock. all of it
as hard as any rock in America, and
most of it out of the bottom of the
Mississippi river.
Kingston was one Of the first men
in charge to arrive here, and his
work is now done on this job which
will be entirely completed in few
months.

Blasting over a Hemisphere.

King Kingston, before he came here
to rearrange the scenery along the
Mississippi, had blasted in the noun
tains of Brazil, and III the tunnel I'M
der the Niagara river which opens
under the curtains of the great fall
there. He has done big things with
dynamite all over the western hemis-
phere. Wherever Hugh L. Cooper de-
yelops a great water-power Kingston
is apt to be blasting out its founds-
tions and getting out rock for the
concrete, as in this worlds largest
water-power at Keokuk.
He is a veritable wizard of high
explosives. Here in the river he was
accustomed to explode at one instan:
over five tons of gelatine dynamite
placed in the bowels of the continen,
and control the result with almost
the nice accuracy of crane or der
rick.
