Quicker Than the Eve.

The quickness of animal motion
is sometimes greater than can be
detected by the human eye. 1t is
a faVOrite amusement of the country
boys, when they can find an owl
sitting on a stump in a field, to
walk around the bird at a distance,
and see him twist his head off. !"
AS the boy circles around, the owl
seems to follow him by turning his
head giving the impression that the
head is moving continuously in a
circle. AS a matter Of fact, however,
as soon as the owls neck is twisted
sufficiently for comfort, he turns his
head suddenly in another direction,
but so suddenly that the eye cam
not detect the movement. The toad
Is not always sluggish. You may
see one sitting a few inches from a
fly when suddenly the fly disap-
pears, and you cannot tell where it
has gone. 1t has really gone into
the toad's mouth, but the motion of
its tongue in taking the fly in is so
quick that your eye cannot detect
it. 1t is a familiar saying among
naturalists that the stroke of the
rattIesnake is one of the quickest
things in nature.

Mothers Friend
Before Baby Arrives

During several weeks of expectancy
there is splendid external embrocation
in our Mothers Friend in which
thousands of women have the most
unbounded confidence. They have used
it and know. They tell of it's wonderful
influence to ease the abdominal muscles
and how they avoided those dreaded
stretching pains that are SO much talked
about. This safe external application is
gently used over the skin to render IL
amenable to the natural stretching which
it undergoes. The myriad Of nerve
threads just beneath the skin Is thus
relieved of unnecessary pain-produclng
causes and great physical relief is the
result as expressed by a host OF happy
mothers who write from personal
experience.
1t is a subject that all women should
be familiar with as Mothers FTlend
has been in use E.any years, has been
given the most severe tests under most
all trying conditions and is recommended
by women who to-day are grandmotners
and who in their earlier years learned
to rely upon this splendid aid to women.
Mothers Friend is declared py 9
multitude of women to be just what e1-
pectant motherhood requires.

Customs OF A Great CITY.

II you live in large city you are
lost. You are swallowed up by the
ocean of people around you. You
go down into the deep and that's
the last of you, except perhaps an
occasional bubble that may come to
the surface near where you were
last seen. There are so many peo-
pie you can't escape drowning. You
can't make friendships as you do in
smaller place, where the individ
ual isn't entirely effaced by the
mass. Society is not what it is in
the smaller place, where the human
element enters in altogether In the
larger place your comings and go
lngs are not noted by your friends
even, and never by the newspapers
unless you are one of the high fnan-
c1ers or packing-house bunch. The
births and weddings in your family
are OF no more interest outside your
own Hat than are the wreaths of
smoke curling up into the empyrean;

tons. The deaths bring little SYM
pathy from the rumbling, rafting
world outside; no sorrowing ac-
quaintances who have stood by you
through the long sickness; there is
little or none of that evidence of low
ing kindness that comes from neigh
bors and real friends in a small city
or town, where the dollar-mark is
not written SO large and so indelibly
on everything. 1t is a paradoxical
law that where there are so many
people there are fewer friends, and
when you diminish the number to
frontier community where neighbors
are miles apart your friends are
ready to take their lives in their
hands for you.

PURE RICH BLOOD
May Be Had by Taking Old Rel 1ble
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Pure blood enables the stomach,
liver and other digestive organs to
do their work properly. Without it
they are sluggish, there is loss Of
appetite, sometimes faintness. a de-
ranged state Of the intestines, and,
IN general, all the symptoms of dys-
pepsia.
Pure blood is required by every
organ Of the body for the proper
performance Of its functions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla surely
makes pure blood, and this is why
1t is so very successful in the treat
ment OF so many diseases and all
ments. 1t acts directly on the
blood, Kidding it of scrofulous and
other humors.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is a peculiar
combination of blood-purifying,
nerve-toning, strengthening sub
stances. There is no "iust as good"
medicine. Get Hoods TODAY and

State expenses have increased as the
result of erecting new buildings and
purchasing land. The state now has
enough land.
Consolidate and eliminate commits
sions, reduce inspection service and fix
maximum salaries:
Shorter sessions of the legislature.
The state university should be liberal
ly supported, it should carry on re-
search work but it should keep out of
politics. It's affairs should be open to,
the public. Foreign students should
pay tuition equal to their cost to the
state while at the university.
New laws should come only from a
demand of the people.
Better marketing methods and re-

To Announce Vacant Seats.

Pennsylvania Railroad passenger
trainmen have received instructions that
whenever passenger coaches are crowd
ed, member of the train crew must an
nounce the number of seats available in
each coach. Special attention is directed
to this practice at the larger terminals
where passengers are liable to be incon-
venienced by the congestion of travel
These instructions for trainmen to find
seats for passengers follow recent in
vestigation which developed that almost
invariably when some cars on a train
were crowded, there were sufficient
seats available in other cars on the train
to accommodate all of the passengers
who were standing, if the passengers
could only be made to know of it.
1t is now made the business of train,
men to see to it that no passenger is
compelled to stand if there are any seats
left in any part of the train. The policy
of the management is to provide suffi-
Gent cars to seat all of the people nor
mally using any train.
