LOBELIA USED AS A DRUG
American Indians Gathered Plant for
Their chests-cailed "Indian
Tobacco"

American Indians found one plant
growing in damp woods, handsome in
spikes of pale blue flowers, which they
used as medicine.
When the white man came the same
plant won the favor both of the apoth-
ecary and the gardner, but the gar
dener has paid more attention to its
cultivation than has the apothecary.
Hence we know 1t more as a flower
than as drug. 1t is the lobelia.
named for Matthias Lobel, Flemish
physician and botanist, says the Phil
adelphia North American.
The medicinal substance in the plant
is called lobelin, an alkaloid. although
the Indians probably didn't know 1t.
The common use Of the plant among
the aborigines led the early settlers to
call 1t "Indian tobacco"
When 1t Is cultivated for commerce
the seeds are scattered on the sur
face of the ground late in fall or early
In spring. They germinate early In
spring and send down roots.
When the flowers are blooming the
plants are cut and dried In the shade.
An acre of good soil will yield 1000
to LOO pounds of herbs.

LAGS IN VITAL STATISTICS
United States Far Behind More Pro-
pressive Foreign Countries in Sys-
tenn Of Preserving Records.

The United States has Jagged far be-
hind the more progressive foreign coun-
tries In the matter of maintaining re-
liable records of births, deaths and
sickness, says Uncle Sam. However.
there has been In recent years a
marked increase In the interest taken
by state and municipal authorities in
the recording Of vital statistics. The
greatest difficulty In obtaining any
thing like uniform system has been
the fact that under the constitution
the registration of vital records must
be left to the individual state govern
ments.
"The difficulty In obtaining proper
registration Of vital statistics is not In
most cases due SO. much to absolute
lack of legislative provision for regis
tration as to the inadequacy of the
laws or the failure to enforce them"
says a bulletin Of the bureau Of the
census. much progress. however, has
been made In recent years. In 1900
no two states employed uniform blanks
for recording either deaths or births /;
but ut present what is known as the
standard death certificate has been
adopted or approved by states repre-
senting nearly 90 per cent, and the
standard birth certificate by states rep
resenting approximately IS per cent, of
the total population Of the country.
"Those who view with apprehension
the decline In the American birth rate
may take comfort from the fact that
the births In this country are still far in
excess Of the deaths. The excess is
probably as great as 80 per cent, and
may be even more. but its not pos
sible yet to estimate 1t with any de-
gree OF precision. The population Of
the United States would, therefore,
show healthy increase from decade
to decade, II the present birth and
death rates were to remain substantial
ly unchanged. even though immigra-
ton should cease entirely"

Shortly after Win Crooks. the labor

an English weekly, he took his little

evidently awed at the splendors around
her. and maintained a profound and

Crooks was much impressed.
"Well." said he to her at last, "wbat

two lines across the Sierra and the

However. let any piece of railroad
construction be as picturesque as may

"Umph! It'll take SO many cubic

Is to It," Edes has the complete philos-

Marines Give Women Tip on
How to Wash Clothes.

Because they use too much
water and too little soap, wom-
en- do not get the same dazzling
whiteness In their washed
clothes as do the United States
marines, Sergt. Clarence d.
Rhoades Of the Marine corps
told a party Of society women
visiting the battleshlp Utah.
'The eye-palning brilliance of
our white clothes Is due to
the fact that we wash with our
heads as well as our hands, and
we let soap do Its proper share
of the work. Just enough water
to thoroughly wet the wash is
sufficient" the sergeant contin-
ued. "and the less water and
more soap one uses the whittier
the washing will turn out.
The fair visitors seemed great
ly impressed with the lesson.

WHY WOMEN
Write LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi
cine Co.

Women who are we'll often ask "Ars
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" "Are they truthful Z"
why do women write such letters {"
In answer We say that never have We
published . fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or ono without the
full and written consent Of the woman
who wrote it ~
The reason that thousands Of womea
from all parts Of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink

False Policy Of Conservation in U. S.
