YEARS OF
All Relieved by Lydia E. Pink*
ham’s Vegetable Compound.
Sikeston,Mo. — “For seven years I
Buffered everything. I was in bed
$3333 for four or five days
at a time every
. month, and so weak
$ I could hardly walk.
& I cramped and had
r.| backache and head-
ache, and was so
nervous and weak
that I dreaded to
t»«£'3 see anyone or have
anyone move in the
room. The doctors
gave me medicine to
ease me at those
■
times, and said that I ought to have an
operation. I would not listen to that,
and when a friend of my husband told
him about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege-
table Compound and what it had done
for his wife, I was willing to take it.
How I look the picture of health and
feel like it, too. I can do my own house-
work, hoe my garden, and milk a cow.
I can entertain company and enjoy
them. I can visit when I choose, and
walk as far as any ordinary woman,
any day in the month. I wish I could
talk to every suff eringwoman andgirl.”
—Mrs. Dema Bethttne, Sikeston, Mo.
The most successful remedy in this
country for the cure of all forms of
female complaints is Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound.
It is more widely and successfully
tised than any other remedy. It has
cured thousands of women who have
been troubled with displacements, in-
flammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors,
and nervous prostration, after all other
means had failed. Why don’t you try it?
Painted While Asleep.
It is the craze of the pretty ladles
of the Tiergartenstrasse’s plutocrat
society to be painted while asleep,
writes a Berlin correspondent. The
Austrian Countess Czivek started the
bright idea. The well known portrait/
1st who had given her an appointment
for the sitting has a vivacious habit
•of making you wait. Tired of turning
•over French novels In an ante-cham-
ber, the beautiful countess fell asleep.
At last the procrastinating artist turn-
ed up.
Entranced by the unexpected vision
of sleeping beauty, he threw off a
lightning sketch and as the countess
awoke, held it before her astonished
eyes. The drawing was so dainty and
reductive that the delighted sitter in-
sisted upon a complete oil portrait
fainting while she simulated sleep.
To Arrange Flowers.
Here are five golden rules which
Should be observed by those who often
arrange flowers. Use plenty of foliage.
Put your flowers in very lightly. Use
artistic glasses. Do not put more than
two, or, at the most, three different
kinds of flowers in one decoration.
Arrange your colors to form a bold
-contrast or, better still, a soft har-
mony. The aim of the decorator should
be to show off the flowers—not the
vases that contain them; therefore the
simpler ones are far preferable to
-even the most elaborate. Glasses for
a dinner table should be either white,
a delicate shade of green, or rose col-
or, according to the flowers arranged
In them.
LAUNCHING OF UNCLE SAM’S NEWEST BATTLESHIP
^ v. ;
TJLJ ASHINGTON.—* 1The battleship Arkansas, biggest war vessel yet laid down by the United States government,
ft was launched on Saturday, January 14, at Camden, N. J. President Taft witnessed the ceremony, as did
Secretary of the Navy Meyer, the governor of Arkansas and other prominent officials. The Arkansas is
a 26,000 ton vessel, only 350 tons lighter than the recently launched British “dreadnought” Lion. The Ameri-
can vessel will be more heavily armored than the Lion and equally formidable as a fighting craft.

EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.
A lady writes from the land of cot-
ton of the results of a four years' use
of the food beverage—hot Postum.
“Ever since I can remember we had
used coffee three times a day. It had
■a more or less injurious effect upon
us all, and I myself suffered almost
•death from Indigestion and nervous-
mess caused by It.
“I know It was that, because when
I would leave it off, for a few days I
would feel better. But it was hard to
give it up, even though I realized how
harmful it was to me.
“At last I found a perfectly easy
way to make the change. Four years
ago I abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and I also in-
fluenced the rest of the family to do
the same. Even the children are al-
lowed to drink it freely as they do
water. And it has done us all great
good.
“I no longer suffer from Indigestion,
and my nerves are in admirable tone
alnce I began to use Postum. We
never use the old coffee any more.
“We appreclatae Postum as a de-
lightful and healthful beverage, which
mot only Invigorates but supplies the
best of nourishment as well.” Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.

Interest,
London.—In Shottery, scarce a mile
from Stratford-on-Avon, a wise and
clever woman has made a corner of
peace and sunshine where some of the
weak may slip out of the ranks that
are marching too fast for their
strength—a little space where the
grind of competition does not enter,
nor the jar and clang of the industries
of the great world; a space where the
crippled and dumb and blind may
develop their powers and quietly grow,
sheltered from the oppression of the
struggle for bread between weak and
strong.
The old cottage, with its beams dat-
ing back to Saxon times, Its smart new
thatch and lavender bordered garden,
is the studio where are shown the
products of a factory none of whose
workers is fully equipped for life, yet
their powers have been so drawn out
and developed under the guidance of
Miss Clyde Bayley, the foundress of the
industry, that they not only produce
work of artistic value and lay the
foundations of future financial inde-
pendence, but may claim through her
instruction to be pioneers in the re-
vival of British art.
For round the walls of the little cot-
tage hang sumptuous hand-woven tap-
estries, here a proud display of armo-
rial hearings, there a subject picture
of great decorative value, and beyond
a nig of eastern design and color-
ing. On the floor lie strips and frag-
ments of carpet, made after the man-
ner of those which the girls of Tabriz
and Kurdistan have knitted with pa/
tient fingers through the centuries of
labor, to the accompaniment of monot-
AGE STAMPED ON EVERY EGG
onous chant and song; on the table
lies a figure subject finely woven in
silks, beautiful in texture and strange
color, the work of the lame girl who
met us at the door.
In a neighboring cottage live the
weaver girls of Shottery, and strange
is the silence of the long room where
they bend over their frames. No laugh-
ter, none of the light, foolish chat-
ter of girlhood rises above the sound
of knots and strings. Before one large
frame; four girls are seated; one is
blind, one deaf and dumb, another
crippled, and the fourth can neither
read, write nor spell, though she is of
full age.
Other girls work singly at smaller
strips and panels, and as we pass one
looks up with unseeing eyes, one or
two smile as they see us, hut can
make no reply to our greeting or ques-
tions. In an adjoining room a girl
of 16, painfully stunted in growth,
sits cheefully drawing a design for the
next large panel the school will under-
take, and we leave her intent over a
branch of may, our queen’s emblem.
And so they work in the sunshine
with the wide green country about
them, a fortunate few of the many in-
firm who pass perhaps their whole
lives in state institutions, where ne--
cessarily but little chance exists of
developing what powers they may pos-
sess. Here at Shottery, under the care
of the committee which receives them
from the state, they spend three years
learning to draw, to spin, to dye their
wools and to weave, to study plant
forms for new designs, and if at the
end of this time they have become effi-
cient workers, they are taken on as
weavers for a regular wage.
The lame girl, for instance, former-
ly a sufferer from hip disease and in-
fantile paralysis, has become a weaver
of some note and is actually the most
skilled worker in the school at pres-
ent. She has just invested in gov-
ernment stock the second $500 that
her own labor has won.
FINGERS ARE LESS SKILLED
English Doctor Urges Men and Worn-
en to Acquire Manual Skill to
Stimulate Mentality.
London.—Business men and wome.
should use their hands in every pos-
sible way if they want to increase the
quickness and adaptability of their
brains, according to the latest^ idea of
a well-known London doctor. He
says:
“Tie knots, sew, do fretwork, learn
to make some of your own clothes,
prepare and cook all your food, re-
pair your boots and shoes, dig and
plant your garden—in fact, do any-
thing and everything that calls for
manual skill if you want to have an
active, resourceful and versatile brain.
“The business man whose work de-
pends on a keen, -quickly-working
brain must use his fingers constantly
if he wants to have these assets in
full. He must, speaking literally, turn
his hands to everything, and be capa-
ble of constructing almost anything
with his fingers.
“The truth of this statement lies
in the fact that in every manual act
the hand Is directed by the brain.
“Again, every act reacts back upon
the brain, strengthening and stimu-
lating it, which is the only sure
method of keeping that organ in keen,
efficient working order.
“That our fingers are gradually be-
coming less skilled is due to the nu-
merous mechanical appliances which
now carry out the various processes
formerly done by hand.
“This state of affairs, since it stunts
the powers of the fingers, also stunts
the brain. The worker does his work
mechanically, unthinkingly, and grad-
ually his brain grows torpid and im-
paired.”

CAT’S CHORUS BREAKS HOME
Nebraskan Has Bill to Prevent Sale
of Bad Nest Produce—Heavy
Penalty Asked.
Omaha, Neb.—Senator Busby of
Kimball county has a bill to he intro-
duced in the Nebraska legislature to
stop the marketing of bad eggs. It
has been passed upon by the best law-
yers in Nebraska, who say that If it
becomes a law its provisions can be
enforced.
The Busby bill provides for an egg
marking system, the purpose being to
keep an accurate record of their fresh-
ness. To prevent fraud, heavy penal-
ties are provided for false marking in
any manner.
Two years ago an attempt was
made to pass an egg marking law,
but a majority of the Nebraska law-
makers frowned upon the bill, as it
provided for an automatic device in
the nest where the egg was deposited.
The proposed law turns everything
over to rubber stamps and the persons
manipulating them.
The proposed pure egg law will
provide that when a farmer gathers
his eggs he shall stamp each one,
using indelible ink that the letters
and figures thereon shall show the
date on which the egg was laid. Then
when the egg goes to market tha deal-
er on each egg purchased shall stamp
the date on which it came into his pos-
session. No egg shall be sold within
the state, from cold storage or other-
wise, that is more than sixty days
old. Penalties are provided for sell-
ing eggs that are more aged, and pen-
alties are also provided for changing
the dates on an egg
Harlemite Says Feline Plague Abroad
at Night Drives Men to Beat
Their Spouses.
New York.—It’s out at last. Here
is revealed the origin of that mys-
terious influence that engenders
crankiness and grouches—that makes
normally pious men swear at unof-
fending women, fire obliging servants
and beat their wives.
Whisky? Nay. Cats—just cats—
c-a-t-s; that’s all. List to this expo-
sition of the case as it came from a
troubled Harlemite:
“I want to bring before you the
trouble and nuisance that I have had
from cats. There is a lot on One
Hundred and Thirteenth street, be-
tween Broadway and Amsterdam ave-
nue, which is filled with lumber
which answers for a brooder for rais-
ing cats. I think there are twenty-
five cats in this block that no one
seems to shelter, and they make the
night’s rest anything but comforta-
ble. They affect the women’s nerves
so that it Is practically impossible to
please them or to keep a maid, or
even to live in the same house with
them.
“It has been so trying on my nerves
that I even go to the office and jump
on my employes with no reason, ex-
cept that I have lost my patience.
Last night the people across the
street were not only throwing water
out of the window, but bottles, tin
cans, electric light bulbs and even a
garbage can, which sounded In the
dead of the night as if It was an ex-
plosion.
“It upset my nerves so that when I
got to my office this morning I swore
because things were not done as fast
as I could think of them, thus caus-
ing one to lose a very valuable girl,
which has meant an awful lot of ex-
pense and loss to my business, and
also throwing a poor girl out of a po-
sition who is the main support of her
ag$d and crippled mother.
“F'can now see why there are
many crazy people and cranks in the
city, as this is enough to drive any
man to drink, and then coming home
and because someone says something
to him about drinking he immediately
becomes mad and beats his wife
children as if they had no feeling.
“Not praising myself or saying any-
thing that is untrue, I would state
that before the past week I was con-
sidered a gentleman and with an ex*
cellent character, but this strain has
been so hard on me that I have losl
all this.”
Mouse Darkens City.
Plymouth, Mass.—A mouse put the
electric lighting system out of com-
mission for several hours the othei
night. It crawled into the switchbox
at the power house, found a place in
the insulation on the feed wire just
big enough to admit its tail, then rest
ing its nose on the return wire, short
circuited the system and incidentally
gave up its own life.
