EDISON DEsPAIRs OF PEACE.
And Says War Will Be More Destruc
tive Every Year.

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 8.-''The day
of universal peace is a long, long way
off, declared Thomas A. Edison, en-
route East here. There's got to be a
great deal more war, and it's going to
be more destructive every year.
"Science is going to make war a ter
rible thing-too terrible to contemplate.
Pretty soon we can be moving men
down by the thousands-or even mil
lions-almost by pressing a button. The
slaughter will be so terrible that the

The Valley of Roses

Such is the appropriate name given to
that part of Bulgaria devoted to the cul-
tivating of the queen of flowers, many
millions Of which are grown there every
year. The rose bushes cover a valley
which extends for some miles Peasants
labor at the industry, and in their hum
bic dwellings-mud and clay some of
them-used to make the exquisite scent
known all ever the world as essence of
roses.
But, as in all other branches of com
merce, the perfume is now almost entir-
ly manufactured by the proprietors of
the floral acres themselves and the form
er pastoral aspect of the Valley of
Roses has vanished with the erection of
large factories. wherein steam power is
employed for the more rapid production
of the perfume.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Road Really Needed.
(Deerfeld Valley Times.

Public sentiment in the southern end
of the state is very much in favor of
the proposed state highway from Ben
nington to Brattleboro. Last Fridays
turnout at Brattleboro when PA bust
ness men showed their interest in the
project by leaving their places of bust
ness for the day in order to be present,
some of them driving clear across the
state, is proof positive that the high
way meets with the cordial endorsement
of the public. This endorsement, alone,
will not be sufficient to secure the
building of the road. To do this it

to devote long hours of strenuous work
and valuable time to the idea.

and % over all. The Democratic ma
jority is not large enough to leave much
margin for sickness or carelessness. All
the Democratic members will have to
be on guard constantly in order to be
sure of their control of the course of
the public business. This is not a bad
condition, so far as the work to be
done is concerned. A big majority on
one side or the other leads to careless
ness, reduces the personal sense of re
sponsibility, and furnishes the best of
opportunities for slamming through in
iudicious and sometimes dangerous
measures under caucus pressure.

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience Of Motherhoodisa try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch IN their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or IN
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial OF strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing Is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken heath resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
