everywhere. So these medical scien'
lists have taken these same roots,
herbs. barks and berries and extracted
from them their curative and healing
properties in all of their natural p0-
tency and have combined them in the
most concentrated form into one
great Nature medicine which they call
Vim Hepatica, now regarded as the
Universal System Purifier and Tonic
and one OF the best and most popular
medicines ever put on the market for
the relief OF suffering humanity.
The use Of these good, old-time Ma
ture remedies now as combined In Vim
Hepatica is merely perpetuation OF
the safe, reliable way our forefathers
relieved the sick. The only difference
is that you now get in Vim Hepatica
the added benefit of these great cura-
tive and healing properties in their
purest form. You don't have to drink
it down by the pint like they did In
those old days. You have 1t in the
concentrated and pleasantto-taRS
form.
II you are feeling in weak and rHn-
down condition; if you are constipated,
have indigestion, are nervous, can't
sleep or feel knocked out in general,
by all means 80 and get a bottle Of Vim
Hepatica and take it. You will feel
like q different person. Not only does
it go right to the very seat of such
troubles, but it cleanses and tones up
the system. That is why doctors are
prescribing so freely.
We strongly recommend this great
Nature remedy. Come and get bottle
and try it, on our recommendation. We
know it is a real medicine Of the high
est merit.

A CASE WHERE GOOD
ROADS COST TOO MUCH

Bonds to raise money for improve
ments of country roads should not be
sold until the funds are actually need.
ed. In one county where the system
of financing roads was studied recent,
ly by road specialists, it was found
that the premature sale Of bonds in.
volved loss aggregating as much as
$4,000. The county got the money
before it could use it in building the
roads and had to pay interest on this
money much in excess of what it
could obtain on its cash balances In
the bank.

Didn't Know Who Hit Him.


 In the Harlem court it was no easy matter for a negro porter to explain just what had hit him, says the New York Sun. His head was neatly bound in the gaasy whiteness of first aid, and but for brace of dark and indignant eyes which flashed from the front of the medical bundle and pair of large and dark ears protruding from either side, he would have resembled care fully nodded, bulle.-shaped snowball. Through a slight slit in the sanitary headgear the negro explained that he had been hit from 35 directions while at work in 8 cafe. At the time he as- serted he was engaged in "scolding the bcss' about his small wages, the class of persons who came to the cafe and the superiority of the negro race over the white in every detail except their genral color scheme. ''Well, who hit you," asked the magistrate. "We-l-l," said the porter. T don't know jes' who all took slam at me, but what I know is dis: In dat store at dat time they were about 35 men, an what do know IS that I was walloped at least 35 times Yer honor, jes' use your own judg. ment."

Explains Rock Formation,

Rock formation, like other physl. cal and chemical phenomena" says Dr. Arthur L. Day, director of the Geophysical Laboratory, "is the result of certain forces acting upon certain forms of matter. An exact knowledge of rock formation accordingly will de- pend upon the ability to establish def- nitely the characteristic properties of these particular forms of matter and to measure the forces which act in each case. The facts that in nature the individual rock-forming minerals do not occur in great purity, and that the active forces are applied over a
 great range of conditions and long pe- riods of time, merely cucumber the problem with technical difficulties of considerable magnitude; they do not confuse its analysis" A .s,

No Cross. s.Examination

In the courtroom at Parsons an aged woman, who was very deaf, was called to testify. After taking the oath the attorney for the prosecution asked her to state her name to the jury. She could not hear the question. He asked the question again in louder tone Still she failed to hear. A third trial also failed. The leather-lunged bailifi tried and he failed. The stenographer also fell "way short" Finally the prosecuting attorney gave it up and waived her testimony. The jury, who had remained as silent as the witness through 1t all, turned to the counsel tor the defense and asked: Do you wish to cross-examine the witness?"- Kansas City Star.

Looking Forward.

To refuse to be satisfied with one's accomplishments, however we'll work has been done, or however much 1t Is praised, Is essential for real progress When a noted astronomer modestly ex. plained his triumph by saying, Tt is because from the time I was boy, no matter what I had to do, tried to do 1t a little better than 1t had been done before," he suggested worthy purpose for everyone. For such an ideal is always looking forward; the famous man considered not so much what others had done as what he. with the benefit of others experience, could do. And when he had done well, he thought not of his past successes but of his future possibilities.

LADIES CONTRIBUTE
 $7 TO TOBACCO FUNn
Mrs. W. E. Graham Sends $2 From Parkway Calfiornia-Mrs. G. E.
 Wheat Send 20 Kits to Soldiers

Thirty-two Americal soldiers are going to get kits of good old U s. A. tobacco as the result of contributions yesterday to The Graphic's tobacco fund by three thoughtful, generous people.
 One contribution came from far-off :, California, Mrs. w. E. Graham, sister of Mrs. o. E. Mckenzie, sending in check for S2, with this letter: Il have been quite interested in the Soldiers in France Tobacco Fund.- It seems to grow quite rapid- ly. Of all the luxuries men have, the smoke is the best enjoyed, believe. You will find enclosed a small dona- tion from me. Just slip it in as Cash" and oblige.
 T am still enjoying most thorough ly this delightful climate and country.
 "Very sincerely,
 "(Mrs.) w. E. GRAHAM"
 Just few minutes after this letter was received, Mrs. G. B. Wheat came into the office and left a S bill flor the tobacco fund.-" she explained.
 J. isendefur dropped in later in the evening, and clipped in dollar, his second contribution to funds for the
 
 States boys in France ''No one is better able to appreciate the satis- facticn derived from 6 good smoke than l am," he said, flor I've never seen the time when did not care for tobacco"
 All reports from France show that the American boys greatest desire is for American tobacco" This need is recognized by the Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross, as evidenced by the sale of tobacco and cigarets in the can teens maintained in the war zone by these organizations. The attitude of those co1nizant of conditions in that "hell on earth' is that the soldiers suffer enough without being deprived of tobacco in their favorite form.
 "Send us tobacco," is the reply to most requests as to what the soldiers desire sent them. The Graphic IS trying to answer this appeal. Ani with the help of kind hearted people it is satisfying wants of many Ameri- can boys in France, temporarily, at least.
 Each 25 cents contributed to the fund buys "smokables" that would cost 45 cents at retail-more now, since the prices were raised because of the imposition of war taxes. And each kit contains a stamped postcard, bearing the address of the person who contributed the 9 cents. The recipi- ent is asked to sign and mail the card, bearing the receipt of the package.
 The Graphic is anxious to raise as big ., fund for tobacco before Nov. 15, as possible, that the men in the trenches may have smokes during the Christmas season. You are going to contribute to the fund. Do it now, that the boys may have your gift kits by Christmas.

Bagdad is perhaps the most eternal of all cities. She is built of clay, and back to clay she perpetually returns. But so long as the Armenian floods carry down their early burden to the Persian gulf; so long as Europe, Asia and Africa join their tracks beside the city on the Tigris; so long as pilgrim
 age to Mecca, Medina, Kerbela, Nejef, Kazimain, Kun and Meshed runs along this inevitable line; so long as ships ascend the river for tue huge harvests that we shall soon see once more coloring with green the plains of Mesopotamia So long. and perhaps longer, Bagdad must remain her im- perishable. eternal and inevitable self.

As to the Iron Aae.

The best informed sources give the period from 20OO to 25OO B. c. as mark. ing the transition from bronze to iron Prof. J. B. Wilson, in an article in the Princeton Theological Review, presents pretty nearly all of the available evi. dence on the subject. The ''iron age'' seems to have begun earliest in Asia Minor, where iron was used for vari- ous purposes as early as 250O B. c. The people of fJippur used iron knives and arrowheads as early as POO B. O., and iron is claimed to have been in use in Babylon five centuries.

White of an Eaq.

The white of an egg is made up Oa little cells filled with albumen. By beating the white these cells are rup' tured and oxygen from the air is in closed, which gives the white and light appearance of beaten eggs. The white of a stale egg will not inclose as much oxygen. will not be as light and as easily digested as that of the fresh egg and is, of course. less valuable. The importance of beating the egg in cold. pure air is readily seen.-Exchange.

First Moving Pictures.

Moving pictures of a kind have been known for long time, as far back, in fact, as the beginning of the eighteenth century, but the prototype of the mod ern picture was the electrically con trolled cameras with which Edward Muybridge took photographs of the horse Occident owned by Leland Stan- ford, at that time governor of Cali rornia. He went to England and there perfected snapshot machine that worked automatically. Then, in 1893, Thomas A. Edison perfected his kineto- scope and the advance along these (ines has been continuous ever since.

klrcher'. Suggested Landscape.

In Cardinal N1ontalto's garden at Rome there used to be marble slab. on which was cut suggested land- scape by Kircher, of magic-lantern fame. Kircher's landscape resolved it. self at a distancs into human head with very curly locks, and village on the bridge of the nose. The eye was very prominent, but how It was to be obtained except by color was not very clear. However, 1t was plain enough in the plan, with man shooting into 1t as If It were a target. The giants neither lip and chin came well out against the sky line, and altogether the design was not bad one.

Prosress Of civilization.

The insane asylum as 1t exists today Is a modern institution. Time was when people whose minds were dis traught were permitted to mix with the world except when they developed violent symptoms making them obvi- ously dangerous, and then they were confined, sometimes in chains. as if they were wild beasts. with no pro vision for medical iattendancs and physical comfort such as society ac- cords them now. The modern attitude toward the problem of the community responsibility for the care of the in- sane attests the growth of human feel ing and marks the progress of civilisa- ti0n.
