A HEALTHY OLD AGE
OFTENTHE BEST PART OFLIFE
Eelp for Women Pausing Through
Change of Life
Providence lias allotted tis each at
least seventy years in which to fulfill
our mission in life, and it is generally
our own fault if we die prematurely.
Nervous exhaustion invites disease.
This statement is the positive truth.
When everything becomes a burden
and you cannot walk a few blocks with
out excessive, fatigue, and you break
out into perspiration easily, and your
face flushes, and you grow excited and
shaky at the least provocation, and
you cannot bear to be crossed in any
thing, you are in danger; your nerves
have given out; j-ou need building up
at once ! To build up woman's nerv
ous system and during the period at
change of life we know of no better
medicine than Lydia E. Pinkliam's Veg
etable Compound. Here is an illus
tration. Mrs. Mary L. Koehnc, 371
Garfield Avenue, Chicago, 111., writes:
■' J have use 1 Lydia E. Finktam'sVegetablo
Compound for years in my family and it
never disappoints; so when X felt that I was
Hearing the change of life I commenced treat
ment with it. I took in all about six bottles
and it did mo a great deal of good. It stopped
my dizzy spells, pains in my back and the
headaches with which I had suffered for
months before taking the Compound. I feel
that if it had not been for this great medi<-ine
for women that I should not have been alive
to-day. Itissplendid for women,old or young,
and will surely cure all female disorders."
Mrs. Pinkliam, daughter-in-law of
Lydia E. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass . in
vites all sick and ailing women to write
her for advice. Her great experience
is at their service, free of cost.
We can generally avoid a lot of
trouble by not saying what we think.

Fear for Cologne Cathedral.
Serious damage to the magnificent
central portal of Cologne cathedral is
feared. Several large pieces of carv
ed stone have fallen and numerous
other portions show signs of loosen
ing. The cathedral, begun in 1248,
was not completed until 1880. It is
generally regarded as the finest piece
of Gothic architecture in the world.
GAINED 34 POUNDS
Persistent Anaemia Cured by Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills After Other
Remedies Had Failed.
" When I. began taking Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills," says Mrs. Nathaniel Field,
of St. Albans, Somerset county, Maine,
"I was the palest, most bloodless person
you could imagine. My tongue and
gums were colorless and my lingers and
ears were like wax. I had two doctors
and they pronounced my (ronbleanumiin.
Iliad spells of vomiting, could not eat,
in fact, did not dare to, I had such dis
tress after eat i tig. My stomach was tilled
with gas which caused me awful agony.
The backache I suffered was at times
almost unbearable and the least exertion
made my heart beat so fast that I could
liardly breathe. But the worst of all was
the splitting neuralgia headache which
neverleftineforsevenweelis. About this
time I had had several numb spells. My
limbs would he ccld and without any
feeling and the lrtost deathly sensations
'would come over nie.
"Nothing luifl helped meuntil I began
taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, in fact,
I had grown worse every (lay. After I
had taken tlie pills a short time I could
see that they were benefiting me and
one morning I awoke entirely free from
pain. The distress after eating disap
peared and in three weeks I could eat
anything I wanted and suffer 110 iiieon
•venienco. I also slept soundly. I have
taken several boxes of the pillsand have
gained in weight from 120 to 154 pounds
and am perfectly well now."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure anaemia
because they actually make new blood.
For rheumatism, indigestion, nervous
lieadaches and many forms of weakness
they are recommended even if ordinary
medicines have failed They are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, 011

boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams

A New Improved Light-Weight Igni
tion Storage Battery.
Our illustration shows the general
appearance of a new light-weight ig
nition cell put up in celluloid jars by
Improved Light-Weight Ignition Stor
age Cells. (Voltage, 6; Ampere
Hours, 25; Weight, 12 Pounds.)
a New York company. The battery
Illustrated consists of three 5-plate
cells having a total capacity of 25
ampere-hours and furnishing a total
of six volts. The cells and contain
ing case complete weigh only 12
pounds, which is extremely light for
a battery of this voltage and capacity,
says the Scientific American. The
battery shown was constructed espe
cially for use on a flying machine,
but the greatest sphere of usefulness
for cells of this kind is on automo
biles. Not only are these batteries of
about half the weight for the same
capacity of cells used heretofore, but
the plates are constructed after a
special process which gives them
great porosity and a long life. They
can be charged and discharged a
large number of times, and at a high
rate, without injury, and, what is
more important with an ignition cell,
they can be left standing in a dis
charged condition for a long time
without nay loss of capacity. In oth
er words, abuse of this character,
which would completely ruin some of
the light-weight foreign ignition cells,
will cause no perceptible difference
in the efficiency of this improved bat
tery. The capacity, unlike that of
most ignition accumulators, is fully
equal to the rating.
Two 50-ampere-hour cells giving
four volts, for example, weigh only
16 pounds, and yet they will be fouiiu
sufficient to run a four-cylinder cat'
at least 1,200 miles. Comparing these
figures with those of other ignition
cells, it will be seen that, durability
aside, the battery is a decided ad
vance over what has been done be
fore as regards light weight.
, IMPROVED RAIL BOND.
Method by Which a Firmer Electrical
Contact 18 Secured.
A patent has recently been secured
by Edwin W. Robinson, of Punxsu-
An Improved Rail Bond.
tawnev, Pa. on an improved rail bond
for electric railways. The new bond
is arranged to insure an exceedingly
firm electrical connection between ad
jacent rails, and in a very simple and
economical manner.
The invention will be clearly com
prehended by a glance at the accom
panying engraving, says the Scientific
American. It comprises a conductor
in the form of a rod, which is bent to
enter holes in the webs of two adja
cent rails. The ends of the rod are
threaded to receive a pair of nuts,
which enter the holes in the webs.
The nuts are formed with l'rustro-con
ical ends, and as the nuts are
screwed up on the rod, they not only
draw the rod into close contact with
the webs of the rails, but also wedge
their frustro-conical ends tightly into
the holes in the webs. This insures
an exceedingly good electrical con
nection between the adjacent rails. It
will be evident that the new rail bond
can be applied to rails as now con
structed.
Electrical Divining Rod.
An electrical divining rod, claimed
fo operate more certainly and scientif
ically than the ancient and dishonored
twig, has been devised by Adolph
Sehmld, a Swiss engineer. It seems
to consist essentially of a glass-cov
ered box enclosing a coil of insulated
wire in which a slightly magnetized
needle is free to rotate over a gradu
ated dial. When the apparatus is
placed over subterranean water, with
the axis of the coil in the magnetic
meridian, the needle, it is asserted,
oscilates mort. or less rapidly tor two
to ten and evua up to 54) degrees.

TELEGRAPH KEY AND SOUNDER
How the Complete Outfit Can Be
Made by the Amateur.
The sounder, Fig. 1, is made from
an old electric bell magnet, D, fast
ened to a wooden base. The lever,
A, can be made of brass and the arm
ature, C, is made of iron. The pivot,
E, Is made from a wire nail and is
! soldered to A. It should be filed to
a point at each end so as to move
freely in the bearings, B, which are
pieces of hard wood.
The spring, H, is fastened at each
end by pins, bent as shown, and
should not be too strong or the mag
net will be unable to move the arma
ture. The stop, K, is a wire nail
driven deep enough in the base to
leave about one-eiglith-inch between
the armature and the magnet. The
binding posts, F, can be taken from
old dry batteries and are connected to
the two wires from the magnet by
wires run in grooves cut in the base.
The base of the key, Fig. 2, is also
made of wood, says Popular Mechan
ics, and lias two wooden bearings, E,
which are made to receive a pivot,
similar to the one used in the sound
er. The lever of the key is made of
brass and has a hardwood knob, A,
fastened near the end. A switch, D,
connects with the pivot at F and can

EXTENSION CALL BELL.
How the Ring of the Telephone Can
Carried Some Distance.
In many shops, where the telephone
is in the office and the proprietor
spends a great part of the time in the
shop, the telephone often rings re
peatedly without being answered, as
there is nobody within hearing dis
tance. In many cases of this kind an
extension call bell, such as is shown
in the sketch, could be used to ad
vantage.
The telephone bell, A. is fitted with
a piece of hard rubber, 13, having a
metal contact, C, which is placed so
that the hammer wiil strike it and
make contact. Part of the gong may
be cut away to do this, or if neces
sary, the whole gong may be removed.
The other gong is connected to one
side of the battery, and the other
side connects to an electric bell, D,
which can be placed in any desired
location. If the bell does not worlt
well, short circuit the interrupter.
This will not prevent it from vibrat
ing, as the current is intermittent,
being interrupted at C, and if the in

AN ELECTRICITY THIEF.
Case Where a Householder Secured
Enough Current to Light His House.
"Electricity thieves crop up now
and then," said an electrician to the
reporter of the Philadelphia Bulletin.
"Our last case was a man who had
lighted his whole house with stolen
electricity for six months.
"Next door to this man was a Mg
factory that used 1,000 lights a night.
The man bored a hole through a parti
tion, inserted a wire, tapped the fac
tory's current and helped himself
bountifully to illumination.
"Wo lost nothing. The factory paid,
of course, for the electricity stolen
from it. The theft wasn't discovered
»ill some time after the thief had
moved away."
Steel Plate Sky-Scraper.
San Francisco is to have a 15-story
building of which all the walls c.ie to

North Dakota Solves the Adulteration
Problem.
North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, "llow shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" A new law
has recently gone into effect desigued
to make it impossible to deceive peo
ple into buying inferior and adulter
atei} paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint, viz.: pure
white lead and liaseed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments, or mixtures of
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
"Let the label tell," and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, If any one wishes
to buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which found in many paints and
so-called "white leads," no one can
object; for they do it with their eyes
open. But if they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear a label
which says "pure white lead."
In all other States mixtures are of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little sometimes no real
white lead.
It would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and ail other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved. It
would leave us free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect us from
unwittingly buying what we did not
want.
Crucial Test.
"Yes, the prisoner was a woman of
extraordinary nerve. They tried in
every knov.n way to maka hor ncrr
ous."
"That so?"
"Yes. They shot off a gun unexpect
edly, yelled 'Fire!' and told her a div
tant powder blast was an earthquake.
Still she was unmoved. Then they
liberated a mouse."
"I'll wager a bank roll against a
stogie that the mouse made her nerv
ous."
"Not at all. She only stepped on
it and laughed."
"Great Jupiter! Such a woman as
that wouldn't lose her nerve if the
earth exploded."
"Oh, yes. One of the detectives
stepped up and whispered In her ear
that her hair had been ssed up for
two hours, and then she collapsed."
To keep your auto looking bright
use the following mixture for all paint
ed parts: Sperm oil, one-half pint;
common vinegar, one-half pint; oil
bergamot, one dram. Mix and rub with
clean cloth. For all brass work use
tripoli, one and one-half pounds; any
lubricating oil, eiirht ounces; gasoline,
three quarts. This Is one of the best
cleaners for all polished brass.
If you contemplate buying a medium
priced automobile and want, to be cer
tain of securing a car suitable for tour
ing on country roads, up hill as well as
down hill, you will make no mistake
in buying either a Buieck, Maxwell,
Mitchell, Reo, Knox, Franklin or
Queen. These range in price from
$750 to $2,000.
European Neatness.
In a thousand miles of Europe an
observer saw only one rubbish heap
—some old metal cans at Carlsruhe.
Everywhere else was a complete ab
sence of all waste or carelessness,
and above all, of defacement and
roadside uneleanliness.

"The Cuticura Remedies cured me of
my skin disease, and I am very thank
ful to you. My trouble was eruption
of the skin, which broke out in spots
all over my body, and caused a con
tinual itching which nearly drove me
wild c.t times. I got medicine cf a
doctor, but it did not euro me, and
when I saw in a paper your ad, I sent
to you for the Cuticura book and I
studied my case in it. I then went
to the drug store and bought one cake
of Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura
Ointment and one vial of Cuticura
Pills. From the first application I re

two extra cakes of Cuticura Soap, and
was completely cured. I had suffered

Labor the Great Quality.
The most beautiful actions of the
human body, and the highest results
of the human intelligence, are condi
tions or achievements, of quite unla
borious —nay, of recreative effort. It
is the negative quantity—or quantity
of de-fect—which has to be counted
against every Feat and of de-fect which
has to be counted against every Fact

quantity of our toil which we die in.
