with my kidneys. could hardly
sleep at night, and the least noise
would get me excited and my back
hurt all the time.
"My stomach was in bad condition
and my appetite was very poor.
"My health ran down so that my
work got to be burden for me.
"a friend recommended Meritone
to me and I started taking it.
"It has put my kidneys in fine con-
dition and I can sleep soundly all
through the night now.
"My appetite is great too, and |
can eat anything without any trouble
from my stomach afterward.
My work is a pleasure for me now
and 1 know Meritone has helped me
greatly"

is highly recommended by thousands

GOOD HEALTH is The
SUREST SAFEGUARD
'FRUIT-A-TIVES" Brings Vigor and
Vitality and Thus Protects
Against Disease

There can be no doubt that the
situation regarding the sprcad of
Influenza throughout the country is
ono Of grave concern. tits quito true
that the number of cases docs not
constitutean epidemicsuch as caused
the suffering and sorrow during the
terrible days of 1918. Yet there is
no Disgusting the fact that everyone
should be on their guard against the
disease.
In one city alone, from January
Goth to February 2lst, three thousand.
one hundred and twenty-five cases of
Influenza and 139 deaths from tho
disease were reported to the Health
Department.
If the outbreak had come at the
beginning Of tho winter instead of
the end, we might reasonably feel
that the very cold weather would
check the spread of the disease. But
coming as ii has, at tho end of tho
winter, there is grave fear that an
epidemic may occur. For spring,
with its slush and rain under foot,
its dahpness and chill, its constant
changing from cold to warm and
back again, is prolific source Of
coughs and colds, pleurisy and
pneumonia.
The best protection, in fact, tho
only safeguard against the Flu, is,
GOOD HEALTH.

strong as they should be those who
are undcrweight; those who arc

Inventions by Women Are )
on InCrease-FirSt Was
by Connecticut Matron

The first patent taken out by wom-
an was for process of weaving straw
with silk by Mrs. Mary Kiser of Con-
necticut in 1902 and she has had, as
time went on, many followers in in
genuity. so that at Washington there
is a woman's department, with the
specifications of the patents arranged
in chronological order, observes Lon.
don Tit-Bits.
1t was not till 1894 that the British
comptroller general Of patents thought
it worth while to ascertain the num-
Der of woman inventors, and the war
has naturally decreased their numbers,
but whereas there were nearly 400 ap-
plications for patents from women in
1913, in 1914 there were $50, and in
1917 253. and in 1918. 2S6, so that the
total Is rising again.
During the war the outstanding in
vention was Mrs. Bertha AyrtOn's fan
for sending back gas and smoke fumes.
Other inventions Of national impor-
lance Of late years were Mrs. Ernest
Harris for waterproofing fabrics, a dis
covery of which use was made by the
admiralty, war office. railway com
panies, ETC., and Mrs. Cayley-Robin-
sons patent for a semi-gas furnace,
which was intended to revolutionize
heating. as it is said to reduce ex-
pendituIe by one-sixth on fuel, con-
Stunning all waste products, such as
cinder, SCOT, smoke and ashes.

Average Size Of MiIady's
Shoe Is Now 5 or 512, Due
To Walking and Athletics

The fairy prince would have 1
harder time than ever fitting his Gin
derella today. because women's fee
are growing larger year by year. This
fact Is made known by the managing
director of one Of the largest London
shoe factories.
During the last fifty years" h,
said, "Englishwomen's feet have in
creased enormously in length. A No
shoe was worn by the average WON
an in the middle of the last century
whereas the average now TcfE IS
or 5ia. We find that SKIES. and ever
larger shoes. can hardly be kept in
stock, they are so much in demand.
THE cause of this growth of won
ems feet can be attributed TO tn,
amount of walking they do and thu
number of games they play from theiI
earliest childhood"
WOmen's feet are much larger thar
they used TO be. but this does no.
mean that they are no longer beauti
full. Public taste has changed witt
the size of feet. and small foot i:
no longer considered necessary fol
beauty. Indeed, the shoe manufac
turer explained that long. slender
foot is considered more desirable thar
short. inelegant one.
Long lines are the thing nova
days." he said. There is clamor TO
long. graceful footwear, and fashion
able women buy shoes more than al
inch too long rather than wear short
stumpy shoes"

taken. Whereas in his own envelope
there had been a trifle over $1,000.
the money the man had given him
amounted to exactly SG,500!
Scarlet Burke had never been dis

OF his loss and while he was making a

Naturalist Describes and
Names Eighty-Six Species
of Browns and Grizzlies

All the Alaskan brown bears look
very much alike, says DR.. William T.
Hornaday, in Boys Life. To be more
exact, they strongly show the dis
tinguishing characteristics of their
group. Some are light brown, some
are dark brown. and some have dark
legs and light bodies. If / should try
to name even the best-known species,
and give their characteristics, no one
would remember them for two hours.
1t Is not amiss. however, to give here
the names and places of the species
that are at this moment living in our
geological park collections; and in do
ing so will begin with the most
southerly species we have and work
northward:
Admiralty bear, Ursus eulophus, Ad-
miralty island.
Yakutat bear, Ursus DALI, Yakutat
bay.
Kadiak bear. Ursus middendorfh,
Kadiak island.
Peninsula bear, Ursus DALI gyas,
Alaskan peninsula.
Kobuk bear, Ursus innuitus, Kobuk
river.
Last year a startling thing hap
pened. For full quarter Of a cen.
fury, Doctor Merriam has been col
lecting bear skulls and studying North
American bears. And then, all of q
sudden, out came from him an limo.
cent-looking little pamphlet describ-
fng and naming SO species of Alaskan
brown bears and grizzly bears! And
Doctor Merriam declares that the
skulls before him left him nothing else
to do.
OF course we cannot follow up the
devoted So species, and become per
sonally and permanently acquainted
with each one. 1t is about all I can
do to keep step with the five live spe.
cies daily before me.
