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 a flower Of
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 called
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable growths that
nature surely intended for backache, head
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 .
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.

Mothers Part i'm Warfare
Aaonles Of Suspense Reflected II
Face Of Each One That Has Son
With Army.

The late Robert ]. Burdette Of the
Burlington Hawkeye, and of beloved
memory, was soldier In the Civil war.
The following beautiful and touching
tribute to mothers of that period Is
from his pen:
"When was there generation since
boys were born that women did not 60
to war? Never bayonet lunged into
the breast of soldier that 1t had not
already cooled Its wrath In the heart
Of a mother. While the soldier has
fought through one battle, the mother
has wandered over a score of slaugh-
ter fields looking for his mangled body.
He sings and plays the rough game Of
out-of-doors men in camp for month
and then goes out to fight one little
skirmlsh. But every day and night
the mother has walked through
hundred alarms that never were.
She has watched on the lonely picket
post. She has passed the sentry seat
before his tent. She has prayed be-
side him while he slept. The throbs Of
her heart have been the beads Of her
rosary. What does a soldier know
about war? went into the army a

now stands In Delaware park. A SIM
liar Lincoln statue by Niehaus is in
cluded In the Hackley collection at
Muskegon, Mich.
Lincoln park, Chicago, is itself a me-
mortal to the martyr president. Near
Its entrance is one of the finest statues
OF the great emancipation ever made.
1t Is the work Of the famous st. Gau-
dens and represents Lincoln in a
characteristic pose. He Is standing,
one hand clasping roll, the other on
the lapel Of his coat. The head is
bent forward.

San Francisco a magnificent monu-

Memorials to the first of the martyr
presidents are not confined to our own
land. One stands in Edinburgh. Scot

honor Of the Scotch-American soldiers
who fought in the Civil war. Another
stands in Christiania, Norway. In the

One Good Word for Him.

The Long Island aborigines made 1t
q practice not to bury one Of their
number until someone had spoken a
good word concerning the deceased.
One time a very bad old redskin went
the way Of all flesh and the members
Of the tribe gathered to lay him away.
It was silent acknowledgement a
work was spoken to the credit Of the
dead man. Lower and lower sank the
sun, and darkness was almost ready
to descend, when one old buck
walked up to where the body lay and
succlnctly remarked: "He was devil
Of hand at sklnning eels"-or its
equivalent In the Long Island Indian
language. That was considered sufIi-
Client to permit the burial to proceed.
and the bad old Indian was laid away
not wholly "unwept, unhonored and
unsung."

Clock Runs 1000 pays.

One Of the most wonderful pieces of
timekeeplng mechanism ever invented
keeps time in a way which would make
the hands of the old-fashioned conven-
tional clock stand still and strike in
horror.
1t does not tick, and 1t keeps time
In any position-even upside down
in drawing room or a motorcar.
SO independent is 1t of the services
of man that 1t does not require wind
Ing for 1000 days at least, and at
the end Of that time an ordinary
shilling electric battery will renew its
energy and accuracy for another 1000
days.-London Chronicle.

There are innumerable busts of Lin
coin, some Of them made from casts
during life. One of the most famous
Of these busts, however, Is by wom-
an who had never seen the original. 1t
is the work of Mrs. Emma Cadwalader
Guild. She had fashioned the heads
Of kings and queens in Europe, but
her most ambitious work was of him
whom she had come TO reverence as
the savior of her own country.
Art has not fashioned all the monu-
ments to Abraham Lincoln. At the
Cumberland Gap, In the Tennessee
mountains, is the Lincoln Memorial
university, erected by Gen. o. o. How
ard. 1t was designed to educate the
mountalneers, whom Lincoln so loved.
Near Leadville, Colo, is tall peak,
over $4,000 feet above the level of the
sea, named Mount Lincoln. Through
out the West are many counties and
towns named for the emanclpator.
Perhaps the most famous and en-
during monument erected by human
hands to the memory Of the war pres
dent, however, is the capital of Ne
braska, Lincoln, one Of the beautiful
and growing cities Of the great West.

TO remind IL of what human nature
may become when at Its best.
Merely calling to mind the fact that
such man lived has tendency
to sweeten and ennoble men. Thus
the visible symbols Of him refresh
our memories Of the highest and purest
American type yet brought forth.
Pretty much every large city in the
land now has its Lincoln monument,
or statue. New York. Philadelphia,
Washington, Buffalo, Chicago and San
Francisco head the list. Even Edin-
burgh, Scotland, has Lincoln monu.
ment. There is now under construc-
ton in Washington a great memorial
building which will adequately repre-
sent the country's estimate of the sec
ond of OUT immortals.
The chief Lincoln monument, Of
course, is the one erected at the tomb
in Oak Ridge cemetery. Springfield,
III. This has been described so often
in the public prints, that 1t Is I'M
necessary to speak more Of 1t here. It
is now popular Mecca for Ameri-
cans, second only to Mount Vernon.
Two Monuments In Capital.
In the city Of Washington there are
two Lincoln monuments, besides a me-
mortal kept in the room In which he
died. This room, which is just oppo-
site the old Ford's theater, contains
almost 300 portraits of the martyr
president, besides various interesting
mementos of his life and associations.
One Of the monuments In the ma
tional capital fronts the city hall. It
Is fine marble shaft, surmounted by
q statue of the war president. It was
unveiled by President johnson In 1858.
The other monument to the great
emancfpator Is located In Lincoln park,
on the other side of the city. 1t was
erected entirely by the freedmen Of
| the country and the address at Its
unwilling was delivered by Frederick
Douglass. The pedestal Is not high,
but the statue itself is notable. 1t
represents Lincoln standing with his
hand extended over the kneelng figure
| of a negro with broken shackles.

One Of these was to consist of a me-

and splendid driveway along the
river. Another projected improve
ment was to be Lincoln gateway to

for which SO many plans have been

NO COMMENT REQUIRED

THE PUBLICITY DIRECTOR for the Tenth
Federal Reserve District sends to The Ard
moreite the following remarkable and signif-
cant statement:
The savings organization of the Tenth Fed
eral Reserve District has just been informed by
the treasury department that the secretary Of
war deciding that hand grenades converted in
to savings banks should not be sent broadcast
throughout the country, has cancelled his ar
rangement to furnish grenades to the treasury
department.
Although more than.3O0, ,0OObof these gren-
ares have been sold to the banks in the Tenth
District, the children who have entered into the
savings plan during their vacation must con-
tent themselves with certificates Of appreciation
issued by the treasury department for their serv-
ices These certificates are being; prepared in
Washington and will be issued by; the savings
organization.
The war department5gave itSaapproval of
the grenade distributonJs weeks ago It's
recent decision comes as a surprise, but was
evidently made on account of complaints made
that the grenades might become menace to
the safety of children and families, owing to
the possibility of again converting them into
dangerous weapons.

THE PAY OF TEACHERS

MUCH CONCERN is being manifested in edu-
AV1 cational circles over the shortage of teach
ers. There have been several explanations ad
vanced but few constructive plans for meeting
the situation have been presented. Perhaps
few facts would help to solve the problem; a
tecaher signed a contract to teach this school
year in city in southwestern Oklahoma at
salary of $40 per month. She reported week
before the opening date in order to secure liv-
ing quarters After weeks search she found
the very best arrangements she could make
would cost her $50 per month for room and
500 per month for her board, which would
eaVe her only So per month to pay for her
clothes, laundry, and other ncidentals. She re-
signed and went home, quitting the teaching
profession.
few weeks ago a former member of the
legislature reminded state Supt R. H. Wilson of
the bill which Superintendent Wilson endeavor-
ed to have passed by the legislature during the
members term of office which would have pro-
vded means to build homes for teachers. The
member said he did not realize the worth of the
bill so much until afterward when the board of
trustees in his school district built home for
the teachers and that since that time they had
never had trouble securing or keeping efficient
and satisfied teachers. The bill was defeated,
but it should have been passed in the opinion of
this man who has since seen practical demon
stration Of its advantages.
School boards in the following counties of
Oklahoma have provided living quarters for
their teachers by building homes for teachers,
and they report that since building the homes
they have had no trouble securing or keeping
satisfactory teachers. Garter county leads with
p homes; Grady, Is; Choctaw, 9 !; Seminole, 7 :;
Greer, s. Stephens, 6; Jefferson, 6 Jackson, 6
Washita, 6; Okmulgee, 6 NOwata, 5; Tillman

for teachers in the state, 1872
The above figures speak we'll for the pro-
gresSve spirit of school officials. But much
work lies ahead along this line. State Super
intendent R. H. Wilson recently stated to the
conference of college representatives that one
Of the most important pieces Of business before
Oklahoma educators is the stimulating of a SEN
timent in every school district to provide suit |
able living arrangements for the teachers; to |
pay the teachers a living wage, but not to de-
fine ''living' merely as place to sleep and suf-
fcent food. To do so would curta efforts on
the part of teachers to strive for higher quail
ications and, Of equal Importance, it would tend
TO discourage the right kind of teachers from
entering or remaining in the professon-the
kind of teachers needed in the schools today
more than ever before.-Contribute

Unless the As striking moIders of

fore Monday they will be perma-
nently out of a job, according to an
announcement from the company
today. These men went out on Sat
urday night three weeks ago, de-

from their working day. They
want an eight hour day to supplant
the nine hour stretch they had been
working for years. No change of
wages is asked for, as a 10 per

ago.
In addition to the molders, the
strike has affected about forty-five
laborers on the payroll OF the foun-
dry. The molders are all mem

They have made no attempts at
demonstrations against the com
pany.
The company regards the de-
mand for the clipping of an hour
