Proof that it Restored the Health of These Tive

Cairo, Ill., Some time ago I got so bad with female trouble that thought I would have to be operated on had a bad displacement. My right side would pain me and I was so nervous 1 could not hold a glass of water. Many times would have to stop my work and sit down or I would fall on the floor in faint I consulted several doctors and every one told me the same but kept fighting to keep from having the operation. I had read so many times of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it helped my sister So I began taking it. I have never felt better than I have since then and l keep house and am able to do all my work. The Vegetable Compound is certainly one grand medicine. Mrs. J. R.

CHINA BY 4 CHINESE
4 Political Study by a Natire
Made for the Benefit of
the Outside World

Sih Gung Cheng. n fellow of the
Royal Economic Society of Great
Britain, who was attached to the
Chinese peace delegation in Paris, has
written for the instruction Of the out
side world n political study of modern
China. which the Oxford University
Press has issued in it's Histories of the
Nations Series.
The book is singularly calm and i'm
partial, displaying these qualities in
greater measure than the average book
by European author on the same sub
jpct. The reader in search of an
Illuminating discussion Of the far east =
ern questions need not pursue his in e
vcstigations farther than this volume.
He will find in it most satisfactory
exposition Of the situation as it now
exists. One cannot read it without
achieving better comprehension of the
Oriental mind and the Oriental point
of view.
The book opens with n survey of the
historical conception of Chinese gov
crnmcnt followed by an explanation OF
the changes brought about by the
revolution of 1911. Then comes Il study
of China's foreign relations and his
tory of the thing known as extra ter
litoriality, a discussion Of the tariff
and tariff administration in China ant
of economic concessions and foreign in
vcstments. The new problems that have
arisen since the war are summarized
including the Shautung question. the
ascendancy Of. Japan in the Far Eas
and the policy of the United States. Th,
volume concludes with an examination
Of the political outlook and the foreign
uOlicv. There is an appendix in which
appears the proviS onal constitution Of
the Chinese republic. the treaties re,
spccting Shantung, South Manchurii
and Inner Mongolia, the notes between
japan and China on various issues a,
wc,l as several other important his,
'u"cal documents.

WYETH'S PICTURES
They Embellish Ne,U Editions
of "West,Uard Ho!" AID
"RObinson CrusOe"

n. c. Wyeth, of Chadd's Ford, has
this year added westward Ho." and
Robinson Crusoe" to the long list Of
English classics which he has embel-
lshed with illustrations. He has
painted fourteen pictures for the former
and thirteen for the latter, all of which
are reproduced in full color by the mod :
ern processes. The two books are so
different in character that they have
given to Mr.. Wycth an opportunity to
display his versatility. His John
Brumblecomb' in Kingslcy's tales. for
example, is fine example of comedy
character drawing. and the picture of
Robinson Crusoe sitting disconsolatcly
on the shore Of his island, with the low
rring clouds in the sky and the sea
dashing on the rocks, is a perfect sym :
boil of dcsolution. The young person
who is fortunate to get either of these
books with Mr.. Wycth's illustrations is
to be envicd as far as that emotion may
be INDUCED without violating the com :
mandmcnts.

THE ALERTEST AND SANEST
AMERICAN ESSAYIS7
Miss Repper Exhibits Her Fine Quality in Her Discussion Of
Prohibition, Equal Suffrage and Other Points of Friction
BY FELIX E. SCHELLING


IF OUR Miss Repplier had been born
1 in Boston and, after the inveterate
habit Of the true Bostonian. had re-
fused to live anywhere else, how New
England would boast Of her as a signal
evidence of New England's chronic gu.
periority in letters. Or, II Miss Rep
plier had not resisted so contentcdly the
lure of "the metropolis which sweeps
the arts and the crafts which are, would
he and pretend to be. into It's golden
nav. there to extinguish them, how
would New York proclaim to the world
its discovery Of the alertest. the sanest
aud the choicest Of our American essay
lists? As it is, Miss Reppier has 10y
ally elected to reside in Philadelphia
and in consequence We take her as n
matter of course. Ours Is much the
attitude of the father Of Macaulay. Told
that his son had carried off all the
honors at Cambridge, he modestly re-
piled: THAT is precisely what was to
be expected Of the son of Zachary Ma
caulay." Told that that son had be-
come the foremost parliamentarinn OF
his time. its greatest historian and es-
Sayist, his answer was: Il could cx-
pcCt no less" It was not in the power
of a Thomas Darlington Macaulay to
surprise a Zachary: nor can son or
a daughter of Philadelphia unruftle our
superb complaisancy-or is it our su-
pine Indifference?

ATTRACTIONS OF

book

To describe winter trip, delightful,
but through almost unknown countries
to most of US, is the aim of the author
of "Glimpses of South America" From
| q large experience as a business man in
| South America, he is able to give much
useful information in regard to the
routes to be taken, their time and cost,
us well as helpful suggestions as to the
objects of special i"tercst in the places
visited. The acCU mt begins with the
passing through the Panama canal,
whose attractive scenic beauty through
landscape gardening on a stupendous

of Spanish South America" but now

employed in extracting the white gold

Then follows descriptions of Val
paraiso and Santiago and the journey
across the continent by the Trans
andine train to Buenos Aires, now one
Of the largest and most beautiful cities
| in the world, but "only a name to most
of u.s." The long chapter giving the
impressions made by it is full of sur
prises. The main streets are lined with
most attractive buildings and pass BY
seventy or eighty plazas, with sunken
gardens, statues, flower beds and foun-
tains. The temperate habits Of the ma
ton are shown by the "almost utter
lack of intoxication' on the streets or
at the games and races. A very in
structive and entertaining book closes
with brief account of Rio de Janeiro,
whose harbor offers one of the most
sublime spectacles that nature affords.
The numerous reproductions of the
authors photographs add much to the
interest and vividness of his descrip-
tions. There is also a helpful geo
graphical and a general index.

TIME range and the variety of the
L essay is sometimes lost sight of. 1t
may be chat over n wood fire about
trivialities, pleasing and forgettablc. Or
it may be much else, and it may strike
deep into the heart of some matter--l
detest the word problem--of momen-
tary Importance and, like n searchlight.
strike back into the past of experience
or forward into the future of specu!a-
ton. Miss Repplier, from the brill
liancy of her wit and her incompatible
power of illuminating whatever she
writes with it, is sometimes mistaken
for a mere humorist. n master in mosaic,
who would rather spear jest, as some
one misprinted it, than spear n friend.
But in the now considerable body of her
work-which he who does not know has
i'll kept up with the bcs: commentary on
our American thought-Miss Repplier
has always a sane. an essentially scri-
Gus. an open minded point of view n
point Of view moreover which walks not
in the ranks of unthinking majorities
nor prides itself on the other hand on
singularity for singularity's sake. With
all her raillery and mastery Of ridicule.
Miss Repplier is always on the side of
the angels.

TT rs a strange obsession of the time
L that because we can dash about from
place to place with n celebrity heretofore
undreamed and communicate our fool
fish thoughts to each other at the
triiling expense of all privacy We are
therefore wiser and better than all the
ages. And a contempt for the pas,
follows in lives SO occupied with the
trivial present that we have no time
to learn. In 1.-THE Virtuous Vic
torian" Miss Rcpplier delightfully."- turns
the tables on our cOndcsCending por-
travail of an age. an intellectual and
literary equality with which, with all
our accomplishment. we dare not claim.
IT. like snrit is the essay on Living
With History" with its appeal to the
larger perspective. which is our bir,n-
right, and the discard Of which leads
to so many Of our vagarics in politics,
religion and education.
Timely, too. are the reminders tina,
there have been other things than the
love of gold to stir the passions of men
and sway the world-things such as
great waves Of religious thought, grea,
births of national life, great discov
cries. great passions and great wrongs.
Could it be that this discreditable orgy
OF netty cxtortion and organized greed
which now possess us, this loss of the
sense OF honor and proportion in public
as we'll as in private life, is. after all,
only the reaction to the lax string after
the tension that made US all more or
less patriots? 1t Is charity to the age
