F. Operation Not Necessary.
Mrs M. e. W.: For so serious an
operation upon the pelvic organs, as
that which has been suggested to
you the most detailed account of
your condition leaves me entirely
unable to advise. Te would seem
that an operation as extensive as
this would not be necessary for pain
at the menstrual period without
other complications. The difference
Of opinion expressed by your physi-
clans is a fairly reliable indication
that no operation Is imperative.
Your age, 80 years, is no bar to a
pregnancy and your health might
improve after it.
Gas on Stomach.
E. L.: The presence of gas in the
stomach may be due to the swallow
ing of air in the act of belching.
Gas in the stomach is also associated
with constipation and will disappear
when this condition Is corrected.
Further it is associated as symp-
tom with a variety Of digestive dis
turbances. These disturbances are
so various as to make it impractical
to suggest treatment. The above in
dicates the need Of further study by
a physician.

F. B.: Repeat your question and

THOMAS A. EDIsON'S BIRTHDAY
Washington Times.)

Working in Washington for the
government at a dollar a year, which
no probably doesn't collect, sits
young, energetic man named Thomas
A. Edison, seventy-one years old to-
lay (Feb. 19).
or this American it may be said
that the whole world knows him, and
will remember him-as long as men
harness the lightning to make it work
for living.
Edison is young, because every day
and hour with him means mental ac-
tivjty. 1t isn't the body of man that
dies, it's the mind The body follows
the mind into the grave.
On each Edison birthday you could
write pages, every word useful to
young men with ambition and older
mon trying to explain failure.
Many a question Edison answers
for instance:
Can you succeed without college
education, a rich father and much
encouragement?
"You can" says Edison's life.
Is it possible for man tied down
to deadly dull routine work to make
success of without drop
ping his job and wandering off to
look for something better, more
worthy of his powers?
Yes, answers Edison's life, it is pos
sible.
Edison was tied to a telegraph in
strument, and his business was tC
sncnd twelve hours day moving q
little key up and down.
Did Edison say, "Other men are
fortunate, | am miserable. Here | an
a wage slave, tied to this little piece
of metal. My magnificent brain anC
strong body are made dull slave
to tick the Morse code day in and day
out" Edison did not say that
AS he sat there sticking to his jol
he asked himself "Why can't ] sent
more than one message over one wir
at the same time?"
He knew that electricity travelled 81
fast that it could go all the wa
around the world seven times in
second He knew that no matter hoy
fast his hand worked electricity coul
get out of the way in plenty of time
So while he sat- and held his jot
nnr wandering off to find somebody t
, appreciate his merit, Edison invente
/ the system that made possible tn
sending of many messages over on
; wire And that was worth tens G
| Mlllions.

foolish, of any public institution or

their ancestors originally came from

have way of turning around several
times before they lie down. This
looks very foolish now, but when they
were wild things centuries ago they
slept in the tall grass and turned
around several times to hollow out a
bed and they have never outgrowfl

will turn around on a rug just as il
