has discovered that. certainly not in

great To him Mt the moment as If. after
long years OF study, he had invented a
machine for making a gold bracelet out

them haze been hammered out after

And what is still more important,
don't think that when you have

the trash and papers from a few back
yards that you have had a successful

CHINESE FARMS SMALL.
Hardly More Than Gardens, and tia
Cultivation Is Intensive.

1t is incorrect to speak of the Chinese
as farmers in the strict sense Of the
word, for they are gardeners rather
than farmers, A SO called CHINESE

ca would be called II good sized gar
den, and the methods OF cultivation are
Of the most intensive sort
Generally speaking, it seems that the
greater the prosperity of the asricul-
tural family the larger the number OF
children; henSe in turn the greater the
number of mouths TO feed. In addition
prosperous conditions always bring
with them greater expenses incident TO
family festivities, such as weddings,
which stand out as all important con
siderations in the lives Of the Chinese.
In Manchuria the conditions are
somewhat different, for there are vast
stretches of land open to cultivation on

Taking one consideration with an
other, the vampires lot is not happy
one One has only to glance at the
screen record Of Theda Bara, most
famous Of vampires, to grasp this
fact. Here is a symposium of Miss
Bara's film career:
Two hundred men have come under
her siren spell.
One hundred families have been
made to suffer by the Bara machina-
tons
Fifty children have begged Theda
to give them back father"
One hundred men have served pris-
on terms, thanks to the Bara eyes.
Seventy-five men have gone the
way of the dagger on account of the
enchantress.
Sixty men have used pistols to for
get forever the fascinating Theda
Forty men have taken poison as a
fond farewell to Theda.
Eighty men have attempted to kill
Miss Bara, some successfully
One hundred and fifty wives have
begged Theda to give them back their
husbands.
Fifty men have been married to
Miss Bara and then regretted it.
Five hundred men have flirted with
the fascinating and mysterious one.
This all happened, it should be en-
phasized, in the movies.

FOR RUNDOWN PEOPLE

The condition of being rundown"
is one that doctors do not recognize as
a disease; the physician of today who
gets his training in hospital where
severe disorders only are encountered
knows little about it. But those who
are rundown in health know that it
is not a fancied affection.
The expression rundown" comes
from the feeble action OF an unwound
clock and the comparison is good one.
Applied to health it means condition
in which all the bodily functions are
enfeebled. Appetite fails, the digestion
is impaired, the nerves are impoverish-
ed, the complexion becomes pale, there
is no animation but rather worry and
mental depression. Fatigue is con-
slant symptom.
No particular organ being affected
you must look for relief to the blood
that circulates everywhere. Improve
ment in the blood is quickly felt through
out the entire system and DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are the best
and most convenient blood builders.
As the blood becomes rich and red, the
various organs regain their tone and
the body recoversits vigor. If you have
any or all OF the above symptoms try
the tonic treatment with DR.. Williams'
Pink Pills. Fifty cents o box at your
druggists.
