■Miss wiiittaker, a prominent
club woman of Savannah, Ga.,
tells how she was entirely cured
of ovarian troubles by the use
of LydiaE. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
DEAR MRS. PIVKHAM: I heartily
recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's
"Vegetable Compound as a Uterine
Tonic and Regulator. I suffered for
four years with irregularities and
Uterine troubles. No one but those
•who have experienced this dreadful
agony can form any idea of the physi
cal and mental misery those endure i
who are thus afflicted. Your Vege
table Compound cured me within
three months. I was fully restored to
health and strength, and now my
periods are regular and painless.
What a blessing it is to be able to
obtain such a remedy when so many
doctors fail to help you. Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
is better than any doctor or medicine
I ever had. Very truly yours. Miss
EASY W HITTAKEB, 004 39th St., W.

BIRD SWALLOWS DIAMOND.
Pet Canary Pecks Valuable Jewel
From Owner's Earring and Dies'
of Indigestion. '
For pecking a valuable diamond
from an earring belonging to Mrs.
Paul, of Philadelphia, a pet canary
bird paid the death penalty. Mrs.
Paul had placed the bird cage on a
sitting-room table, and was encourag
ing the canary to warble for some
visitors, when the little creature ate
the unusual repast.
The earring was lying on the table
alongside of the cage and within
reach of the canary. The bird exam
ined the jewel for some time, and
after arriving at the conclusion that
it was a worm of some rare species
pecked at it and swallowed the stone
with a gulp.
The loss of the diamond in this
manner caused a sensation in the
Paul household, and every one plann
ed out one scheme after another
for the recovery of the jewel. The
bird was not in the least embarrassed
by the rich diet it adopted, but while
the hostess grieved it sang merry
eongs of joy in all the bird languages.
Finally Mrs. Paul decided to send
for a physician. She did not wish to
lose her pet, and still less her dia
mond, so she intended to ask the
doctor to perform a surgical opera
tion on the bird. While Mr. Paid
was on his way for the physician the
canary died suddenly from acute in
digestion.

Travel for Health Vs. Dieting.
A man who was sent to Europe for
his health and finally found cure in u
little change in his diet says:
"I was troubled with dyspepsia for
five years and two doctors here in Ke
nosha t'hat treated me for over a year
both told me there was no help for
me. Then I had an expert from Chi
cago, but still received no relief; then
followed another expert from Chicago
who came to our house two times a
month for four months. He gave me
up like all the others and tola me to
take a trip across the ocean, which I
did in the year 189& and came home
about as bad as when I started. The
doctors told me my stomach lining was
full of sores. Then I began to study
my own case and learned of the diet
recommended by the Postum Cereal
Co., so I gave up coftee, pork and all
greasy foods and began using Postum
Food Coffee. Gradually I got better and
better until I am well now as I ever
was in my younger days, have no trou
ble and eat anything fit to eat.
"Sometimes away from home I am
persuaded to drink coffee, but I only
take a sip of it, for it tastes bitter and
disagreeable to me, but the longer 1 use
Postum the better I like it and the
better I feel. I could say a great deal
more of my experience with Postum,
but think this will give everyone a
good idea of what, leaving off cofTee
and using Postum can do." Name

"She (City limrttfttl"
By KATHERINE POPE.
Author of"Letters of a Happy Poor Woman," Etc.
M ERICA at last is learning the value of the tireless energy
A of the little ones, learning to put to account their infinte
"horse-power."
Along with our country's awakening to the desirability
of civic cleanliness and beauty comes appreciation of the civic
aid children are able to render. Able and willing. For
nowhere do we find such eagerness, such zeal to be at some
v-Hf? thing with might and main as we do anions the vital young
ones. Sometimes this eagerness seems pathetic, especially
when elders take base advantage cf it; but when kindly,
wisely directed, it makes for the progress of the child, and often there is
work accomplished that in itself is of decided value.
There is no prettier sight than a group of children hard at work on
social good, using their ready wits and muscles in some task whose aim
and fruitfulness they comprehend. Such a bevy of busy bees we come
upon frequently nowadays in the city streets and village grounds; pull
ing weeds, making bonfires of unsightly rubbish, keeping sharp lookout
that no untidj wayfarer despoil the new neatness. It is not only a les
son in industry, but also a lesson in unselfishness, the good of the social
whole.
These folk, who furnish "the large majority of our citizens," are
the very ones that in the past have done so much to fill the streets with
disorder; on the way home from school they are the ones that have
thrown abroad the oceans of papers; they arc the fellows that have lit
tered the land with banana and orange peel; these arc the rogues that
have made of the public thoroughfares depositories for all unsightly
waste. And opening their eyes to simple means of remedying municipal
untidiness has also, unconsciously, been a means of training them in the
still more important matter of prevention.
The children, in their role of city helpers, we look upon in a new
light; not merely as dependents, "nuisances," but a body of worth and
dignity. We add to our love for them feeling of respect; they grow
in honor; we virtually lean upon then?. And of a truth, in no other way
than under the lead of the little child snail we be able to attain and retain
the goal we have set us, a cleanly city.
And how they love posies, every boy and girl of them, every chick
and child. Just a little guiding and away they go with any sort of a
tool, at any fraction of soil they can lay claim to, and do their part to
make a city beautiful as well as a city orderly. A dime's worth of flower
seeds can do more for the happiness-, uplift and health of a slum child
tfian a dozen Sunday school picnics. There are better sermons, more
sweetly, ingratiatingly preached, by a row of nodding, growing flower
stalks than an evangelist can ever offer. Purity, graciousness, something
way out of reach of the sordid and utilitarian they bespeak; and to not
a few they ratify the word that God's in His Heaven.

000 in this way last year, the list being as follows:
New York, N. Y„ $25,386,492; Philadelphia, Pa., $9,348,297; Chi

$1,800,161; Providence, R. 1., $1,517,103; Louisville, Ky., $1,396,127;
Milwaukee, Wis., $1,355,562; Toronto, Ont., $1,246,177.
In every section except New England the sums distributed in 1903
are 50 per cent, greater than in 1899. In New England the gain has been
about 25 per cent, in five years. The amount of life insurance in force
in New York is estimated to exceed $2,200,000,000. It approximates
$900,000,000 in Philadelphia, $700,000,000 in Chicago, and nearly $600,-
000,000 in Boston. The anomalous fact is mentioned that policy holders
of life insurance companies, who are taking care of themselves and their
families to the extent indicated by these wonderful figures, are compelled
to endure a taxation of nearly six per cent, on the sums distributed by
the companies, an extortionate tax upon their thrift. The six per cent,
tax mentioned does not include any direct taxes paid by insurance com
panies 011 property actually in their possession. A demand is made lor
the relief of the thrifty classes from such a heavy burden. In Great
Britain and other countries life insurance policy holders are not taxed

has given a renewed im
petus to the contention,
never wholly quiescent, that the large, heavily armored ship of war is
obsolescent and an anachronism, because liable to vital injury or her
own cost.
It has apparently occurred to 110 one similarly to contrast the rela
tive intrinsic value of the rifle bullet with that of the trained soldier, or
accomplished general, whom it slays. The results to be expected from
the torpedo are set fort has seductively as the prospectus of a new cor
poration, promising the largest conceivable profits with expenditure
inconceivably small.
The trouble with these calculations is that they fail to take accurate
j account of what the desired result is in naval operations; the necessary,
indisputable aim of which, in the unanimous opinion of all competent
judges, is the control of the sea. The disabling or destruction of battle
ships, one or many, is a means to this end doubtless; but it is itself only
a means, not an end, and the two cannot be confounded without vitiating
any course of reasoning based upon such inilial confusion.
Because an expensive battleship may be removed from the field of
action by an inexpensive torpedo, it by no means follows that control of
1 the sea can be maintained by vessels differing radically from the his
j torical class, of which in our day the battleship is the type.
