The Many Mysteries
of Nature
BY L. w. BOWER, M. D.

You can take an onion seed and pansy
seed, and plant them side by side In the
same spot Of ground. In one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get flower o.
rare beauty. You can plant poppy seed
and get opium Ia dangerous, habit-forming
drug), or you can plant rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation. No
scientist, living or dead, can explain these
mysteries of Nature. Behind the invisible
life germ in each seed is hidden the deep
secret that nobody understands. Every
thing growing out Of the ground seems in
tended for some use in establishing natural
conditions. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
long since found out what is naturally best
for women's diseases. He learned it all
through treating thousands of cases. The
result of his studies was medicine calleS
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. THIS
medicine is made of vegetable growths ths
nature surely intended for backache. heao
ache. weakening drains, bearing-down
pains. periodical Irregularities, pelvic in
Examinations, and for the many disorders
common to women in all ages of life. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is made Of
lady's slipper root, black cohosh root, uni.
corn root, blue cohosh root and Oregon
grape root. Women who take this stand
ard remedy know that in DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription they are getting a
safe woman's tonic so good that druggists
everywhere sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no mar
cotic. DR.. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whisky
and morphine are injurious, and so he has
always kept them out of his remedies.
Send l0c to DR.. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y, for trial pkg. of tablets.

Flies From Albany To Americas

FileS FROM AludHy ~ HHlS'iS"S
Albany.-In order that the men at
Souther field (Americus) might not be
disappointed on pay day, Lieutenant
Whitney, quartermaster, flew to Al
bany in an airplane, secured five thou
sand dollars from an Albany bank and
carmried it back by airplane to the
aviation field, For some reason it was
not convenient for the Americas banks
to handle this matter. and Lieutenant
Whitney telephoned to the Citizens
First National bank and asked for the
accommodation. The Albany bank as
sured the officer that it would be glad
to supply the money needed and he
started on the air trip at once, arriv-

Lyerly. According to recent figur-

farmers raised better cotton crop last
year than in 1917, the report showing
9,S15 in 1917, counting round as half

Success never comes to the man
who is afraid to face failure.
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1919-10-10

Our president knows as well as
the rest of us about old Fl. G. l..
His salary is $4,000 year. His
income tax is $21, $40, leaving him
a little more than the $4,000 the
president used to get. Since prices
have more than doubled, the real
buying power of the presidents
salary does not exceed $4,000 of a
few years ago. And yet he need
not worry like some of the rest of
us who draw down even less than
;$25, 900 per year.
Half of the waste of the world
is below the dollar mark.

Success of Strikes
Depends on the Public

The whole cause of labor, as in
everything else, is dependent for
success upon public approval.
Lacking that endorsement it is
bound to fail. The people are will
ing that labor should have fair
wage, and that legitimate efforts
should be made by workers to OBJ
tain it. But when increases are de-
manded merely because it appears
that the power is at hand to en-
force those demands, or when the
public itself is made to bear the
brunt of strike, popular SYM
pathy is forfeited and the aims of
the men are lost.
The uniform failure of every
strike thus far to attain the ends
for which it was called, serves only
to intensity the deep-seated con-
viction that must be in the heart
of every intelligent American
that it does not pay. When the
fact is fully borne in upon the
minds of labor, the radical ele-
ment will lose any power that it
possesses at present, and the coun-
try will return once more to the
industrial sanity upon which our
prosperity is built.

What the Thrifty Farmer
Did

A city man who recently visited
his country cousin, wishing to ex-
plain the joys of metropolitan life
said: I'VE have certainly been
having fun the last few days,
Thursday we autoed to the coun-
try club, and golfed until dark,
then trollied back to town and
danced until morning"
The country cousin, not to be
stumped in the least, began telling
of some of the pleasures of the e
simple life:
"We have had pretty good times
here, too. One day we buggied
out to Uncle Ned's and went out
to the back lot, where we baseball
ed all the afternoon. In the even
ing we sneaked up into the attic
and pokered until morning"
A sturdy old farmer who was
listening, not to be outdone, took
up the conversation at this point
and said:
II was having some fun about
this time myself. I arose, rather
early yesterday morning and first
horse backed to town where l War
Savings Stamped to the extent of
500. On my return, I muled to
the cornfeld and gee-hawed until
sundown. Then [ suppered until
dark, and piped until 9 O'Clock,
after which 1 bed-steaded until the
clock fived, and then breakfasted
until it was time to go muling
again"

School Teachers Are
rendered a Reception

Monday evening, at the hospit-
able home of Mrs. Leebrick, Chap
ter A P, P. e. O. rendered very
enjoyable reception to the teachers.
One of the chief aims of the P.
E. O. is educational work and it
seems very fitting that the educa-
tors of our little city should be
thus welcomed at this time, the
beginning of their years work.
Such gatherings bring teachers
and patrons into closer touch and
sympathy.
The rooms of the Leebrick home
presented very pretty appearance
with vases Of Marguerites, the p.
E. O. flower, arranged on table
and the colors, yellow and white
in evidence every where.
The entertainment committee
with Mrs. Sutherland as chairman
assisted by Mesdames Gleason and
Varney offered two amusing games,
which they styled as Tea Party,
all words in the contest either be-
ginning or ending with ct.
In the first game Mrs. Charles
Greene was awarded a pretty china
teapot for list of correct answers.
In the second game Mrs. Greene
and Miss Hickman drew for the
prize, Mrs. Greene being success
full was awarded a half pound of
tea.
A very dainty and delicious
luncheon carried out in P. E. O.
colors was served in the pretty
dining room under the direction of
Mrs. Leebrick, Mrs. Burger and
Miss Theobald.
Music also added much to the
enIertai nment of the guests.
The guests present were Mes
danes Greene, Thurston, Hoy,
Clark and Carpenter, Misses Chase,
Hickman, Potter, Nankeryis, Rich

There will be 1877 railroads, en-

and operating approximately 23l, :
600 miles of track competing for
the first place in this drive. 1t
develops that the roads in this
region (The Central Western)
have, in the aggregate, approx
mately 325,O0O employees and $780,
600 miles of track and that each
employe is going to be asked to
individually do his utmost during
a period of fourteen days to keep
from being injured himself, or
being the cause of injuring any
others.
The eyes of the world will be
upon the American railroads dur

What Makes 1t Burn?

That is the question everyone is
asking since the Power Company
put in its latest window display
in the form of one of the new type
white Mazda" lamps.
The lamp is very cleyerly ar
ranged on top of large piece of
glass and held in place by mount
ing it on piece of wooden block,
notched to keep it from falling off.
The plate glass support for the
lamp is also held upright by a
wooden block at the bottom.
Two wires are attached to the
lamp and are carried to the
front window pane, but, strange
to say, are not connected to any
visible source of juice supply, as
is clearly shown by an examina-
ton of the bare ends of the wires.
Everybody knows that neither
glass nor wood are conductors of
electricity, and as the wires are in
full view, the question of "What
makes it burn" still seems to be
unsolved.
Harry Cooper and Bill Green,
who made the "spook". both know,
but they won't tell.
