Consider This Advice.
No woman Bhould submit to a surgi
cal operation, which may mean death,
until she has given Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made exclusive
ly from roots and herbs, a fair trial.
This famous medicine for women
has for thirty years proved to be the
most valuable tonio and invigoratorof
the female organism. Women resid
ing in almost every city and town in
the United States bear willing testi
mony to tho wonderful virtue of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
It cures female Ills, and creates radi
ant, buoyant female health. If you
are ill, for your own sake as well as
those you lovo, give it a trial.

Census takers of Long Island
have Ideas which help them xo give
a good account of our property. An
enumerator called at the fine home
of William M. Baldwin, a manufac
turer, in Garden City, and finding
none of the family there, proceeded
to gather Information from a visiting
relative.
"Have they a cow?" asked the
cenBus man.
"They do have a cow," was the
reply, "but all I know about it is
that it gives good milk."
"What would you say such a cow
as worth?"
"Really, I haven't an Idea."
"Don't you suppose it Is worth
about $200?"
"1 shouldn't wonder."
So the Garden City cow has been
set down at $200, which is as good
S showing as Long Islanders could
sk. considering the fact that the
prize-winning cow at the last Mine-'

Altoona. How tuberculosis Is be
ing successfully fought by the State
in the homes of the poor, and how
a general uplift in social and econo
mic conditions of this class Is being
accomplished, was told here by
Health Commissioner Samuel G. Dix
on at the annual dinner of the Church
Club of the Diocese of Harrisburg.
During the year of 1909 the
trained nurses of the State tu
berculosis dispensaries made 99,
061 visits to the home of poor
consumptives. The Important fact
brought out by Dr. Dixon as to
these visits was that the nurse does
not confine herself simply to admin
istering to the wants of the sick;
she makes a study of the general
conditions of that home and strives
to better them. Her work Is an Im
portant factor in that broad sociologi
cal study of tuberculosis which Is a
fundamental, part of the State's cru
sade against this disease and indeed
against preventable diseases in gen
eral. Speaking of scientific medical re
search work. Dr. Dixon said: "Those
whose peculiar bent of mind natural
ly Inclines them to such labors should
be able to devote their whole Uvea
to it and the provision should be
made In our scheme of medical edu
cation for the 'training of such men
and their support so that they may
not have to divide their time with
the exegencies of medical practice,
only uncongenial to them. On the
other hand the man who Intends ta
devote himself to the practice should
not be compelled to devote the prec
ious hours of preperatlon to the
study of chemical and biologic nice
ties of which he will -make no use
at the bedside."

"I'll never forpet the nlrrht I called
on the Widow Yarn. . She owned
forty acre? on the; main rond which
I hoped to have Improved. In prar.
ttrnlly every bouse in the county I
had been hospitably received because
I was a human being. A pioneer
citizen, member of the Good Rondrt
Club, took me In a carriage to see
the widow. "I'll watch the horses,"
this wise old citizen snld.
"I don't know what would frighten
them," I suggested, but he seemed to
expect a brass band or some other
unusual sight, although It was eight
o'clock at night. I Boon knew why
ho preferred to sit out there In the
cold.
"Mrs. Yarn, I believe?" I began,
Ingratiatingly, when the door was
opened.
"Well," the person who stood thero
observed, "I've been here forty years;
you ought to believe It."
"This," thinks I to myself, "Is a
strange place for curbstone humor."
And then aloud: "I have been talking
for good roads, madam. We bnvo
decided to run a rock road by here
and as "
"Who has decided?" This In the
voice a conductor uses when he asks
you bow old your little boy is.
"Why," I stammered, "tho Good

"I don't belong to It, do I? They
wouldn't have s woman member,
would they?"
"I'm sure I don't know. I have
been&hlefly "
"Sure you don't," the Widow Yarn
snapped. "You're chiefly concerned
about taxing my forty acres into the
county treasury without letting me
vote on it. What right have yon to
come over here to build roads? Are
you a road-builder? Did you ever
build a road or pay for one?"
. "Madam," I said, "you really do
have a vote on this question it a road
district is organized. You have forty
votes one for every acre you own,
and"
Her face lighted up with a light
that never was seen before on human
fare, unless perhaps in riding on an
old transfer or getting rid of a bad
nickel. She opened the door wider
I had not been admitted up to that
moment and asked me tc enter.
"You say I have forty votes?" sbo
inquired.
"You have," I assured ber, feellus
like the bearer of good news.
"Well, glory be!" the Widow
Yarn sighed, rocking herself comfort
ably. "Glory be, say I; I'll cast them
all against your old rock road. Now
I must be getting ready for prayer

Good Roads and the Auto.
While the automobile has been re
sponsible, therefore, for the Increased
deterioration of roads formerly sup
posed to be almost perfect in con
struction, it has focussed attention
on the necessity for good roads, has
been largely responsible f.jr the ac
tive educational campaign in this
regard, and has undoubtedly had an
excellent effect in bringing to the pub
lic attention the enormous waste in
cident to poor and Ill-kept highways.
Realizing that the automobile is a
necessary factor to consider in high
way traffic, roal engineers have been
experimenting with new construc
tions, in order to arrive at the road
which will best embody the require
ments of automobile traffic without
any detrimental effect on the horse
traffic involved. By far the largest
proportion of the 'highway construc
tion conducted along the new lines
for the adaptation of the road to auto
mobile traffic has been done with
various forms of bitumen, ol'.s, tars
end asphalts, and up to the present
the moat satisfactory results from
the point of view of economy have
been with these materials. H. Tip

Curious African Tribes
By CAPT. C. H. STIGAN.
The men of this (the Reshlat) and
the other tribes to the north of tbe
Omo River Murule and Kerre
carry about with them small wooden
pillows like miniature one-legged
stools, on which they sometimes sit.
Tbe Reshlat can often be seen
standing on one leg, with the sole of
the .other foot resting behind the
knee-joint and knee, at right angles
to the body-an attitude which has
often been noted among Hamitic peo
ple. The people that do this are
Somalia, Masai, Rendlle, Samburr,
Alui, Barl, Madl, and many other
non-Bantu people of Africa.

- Oil Cook-stove
Gives no outside heat, no smell, no smoke. It will conk the biggest dinnea
without heating the kitchen or the cook. It is immediately lighted anil immedi
ately extinguished. It can be changed from a slow to n quick fire by turning
handle. There's no drudgery connected with it, no coal to carry, no wood to chop.
You don't have to wait fifteen or twenty minutes till its fire gels going. Apply a
light and it's ready. By simply turning the wick up or down you get a slow or an
intense heat on the bottom of the pot, pan, kettle or oven, and nowhere else. It
has a Cabinet Top with shelf for keeping plates and food hot, drop shelves for
coffee, teapot or saucepan, and even a rack for towels. It saves time, worry,
health and temper. It does all a woman needs nrd more than she experts. Made
with 1, 2, and 3 burners ; the 2 and 3-burner sizes can be had with or without
Cabinet.

A Warning.
A deaf but pious English lady,
visiting a small country town In
Scotland, went to church armed with
an ear trumpet. The elders had
never Been one. and viewed It with
suspicion and uneasiness. After a
short consulatlon one of them went
up to the lady, just before tbe open
ing of tbe service, and wagging his
linger at her warnlngly, wlspered:
'One toot and ye're oot!" Human

Colerldges Stick.
Of walking sticks there is no end.
We have heard of .Mr. Haldane's cor
dite one, and now we read of a stick
in the Guest collection nt Christie's
which belonged to tho very last Pond
Street watchman. For interesting
sticks, however, the one which Cole
ridgovas In tho habit of losing, dur
ing bis tramping days must take
first place. The philosopher was
never happy till he had got It back.
Ilo sent the crier round. Here Is
the cry, as noted by Mr. I.ucas in
one of his essays: "Missing a curious
walking stick. On one side It dis
plays the head of an eagle, the eyes
of which represent rising sun, and
the ears Turkish descendents: on the
other side Is the portrait of the own
er in woodwork. Around the neck
Is a Queen Elizabeth's ruff In tin.
All down It waves the line of beauty
In very ugly carving."
And then came the appeal and
warning note: "If any gentleman (or
lady) has fallen In love wtth the
above described stick and secretly
carried off the same ho (or she) Is
hereby earnestly admonished to con
quer a passion the continuance of
which must prove fatal to his (o
her) honesty. And If the said stick
has slipped into such a gentleman's
(or lady's) hand through Inadvert
ence he (or she) Is requested to
rertlfy the mistake with all conven
ient speed. God save the King!"
The stick came back! London
