usually comes between the years Of
45 and 80, and Is often beset with an
noying symptoms such as nervous
ness, irritability, m~elancholia. Heat
flashes or waves of heat appear to
pass over the body, cause the face to
be very red and often bring on head
ache, dizziness and a senSe Of suffo-
cation.
Another annoying symptom which
comes at this time Is ar inability to
recall names, dates or other small
facts. This is liable tomakea woman
lose confidence in herself. She be-
comes nervous, avoids meeting
strangers and breads to go out alone.
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Is especially adapted to
help women at this time. 1t exer-
cises a restorative influence, tones
and strengthens the system, and as
sists nature In the long weeks and
months covering this period. Let It

life. 1t Is a splendid medicine for the
middle-aged woman. 1t Is prepared
from medicinal roots and herbs and

MADAM LOCKED IN HER
SCHOOL ROOM BY JANlToR

As Chas. W. Frazier was crossing
the school grounds about 6 o'clock
last evening he heard the cry of a
woman, in no feeble tones, and upon
1ooking about the territory in which
he was, he soon was attracted to the
second story window of the Meeker
School building.
. Y was one OF the sixth grade teach.
ers who had been locked up in the
building by Janitor F. w. Austin.
: Mr Frazier gave an alarm and soon
there was plenty of help about the
school grounds to rescue most any
size or kind of person. Investiga-
,ticn developed the fact that Mr.. Austin
when closing the doors of the school
building for the night never dreamed
>of anyone being in the building at
that hour. The busy school Ma'am
undoubtedly never realized the time
OF day, being SO engaged with the
duties attendant to the starting off of
her years work
No little excitement was started
over just locking a school teacher in
her room, but it was very fortunate
for the lady that Mr.. Frazier happen
cd to he crossing the grounds and
promptly secured her release.

who made a contract in the early part
of the year for his crop. He con.
'tracted with the Peppers Fruit com
ipany at rs cents per basket, the buy
'er furnishing the baskets and Mr..
Hubbard paying for the picking and
pack. The price was F. O. B. orchard
with fifty-fifty on the net over the
contract price.
: Mr.. Hubbard stated the other day
when he was in town that he had al
ready received ten cents over the
contract price on two cars, and pros
poets were bright on other shipments,
although he may not do quite SO wen
as upon the first shipment.

LIONS AND RoTARiANS
LISTEN TO GOOD TALKS

The Rotarians were guests of the
Lions at special meeting Tuesday
evening. The business meeting was
curtailed owing to the fact that sever
al speakers were scheduled for the
evening.
DIR. Harry A. Smith spoke for few
minutes on the anti-vivisection bill,
and also read the bill He emphasized
the fact that if this bill becomes a
law it will greatly endanger the med
ical and surgical research. including
the use of antitoxins in the preven-
ton of such diseases as typhoid fever,
smallpox, diphtheria and others. 1t
is claimed that If this law is enacted
the work of all the colleges and par.
ticularly the animal husbandry |. de-
partment of the Colorado Agricultural
college. will come to standstill.
The doctor was of the opinion that
people in general do not understand
the proposed measure, and stated
that he believed II they did under.
stand the matter thoroughly they
would put down such a radical
measure against surgical experiment
tation which has accomplished such
each individual personally investi-
gate the pending piece of legislation.
Prof. C. P. Gillette of the Colorado
Agricultural college was next on the
program and said that he concurred
with what DR.. Smith had said regard
ing the bill. He also talked on the
subject of heredity.
DR.. Gillette started of in a jocular
manner, declaring that he was going
to say a good many things which his
audience would not believe but that
it was useless to always tell things in
which everybody concurred. His re-
marks were from scientific stand
point and gave much food for thought.
He explained the origin of many
things in plant life. Including wheat.
sugar beets and others.
He also explained the Darwinian
theory of heredity from his viewpoint
and had with him charts for illustra-
tion. He said that transmission Of
character by heredity is impossible:
that all character depends entirely
upon the potent germ cells; that
nothing mental is ever inherited: that
everything. including character, dis
position, sex and all other character.
istics are agreed upon at time of con-
ception and no other prenatal condi-
tions have any influence upon the
child or animal. He added that the
creator plans things right in the first
place.
He urged the teaching OF heredity
in the public schools. plant life in the
grades and animal life in high school
Prof. A. J. Foster was called upon
to state what is being done in this
regard in the Delta public schools,
ne stated that the greatest difficulty
IS securing instructors for this work;
hat biology and botany are being
aught at this time. He says that pu-
pills from farms are far better inform
I'd regarding these matters than the
average town child.
All these talks were listened to
With interest.
An invitation was extended to the
Rotary and Lions clubs from the Fair
to attend the fair next
Delta Day. with as large a
as possible and this
vas accepted. President Mathers ap-
,ointed P. X. Osborn and W. G. Hill
