SEcoND.—The medicine that holds the record for the largest mumber of absolute cures of female ills is Lydis E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It regulates, strengthens and cures diseases of the female organism as nothing else can. For thirty years it has been helping women to be strong, curing backache, nervousness, kidney troubles, inflam- mation of the female organs, weak- ress and displacements, regulating the periods perfectly and overcoming their pains. It has also proved itself invaluable in preparing women for childbirth and the change of life. THIRD.—The great volume of unso- licited and grateful testimonials on file at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., many of which are from time to time published by permission, give ab- solute evidence of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Mrs. Pinkham’s advice. Mrs.Pinkham’s Standing Invitation to Women.--Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink- ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. From symptoms given, your trouble may be located and the quickest and surest” way of recovery advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter- in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years under her direction and since her decease she has been ad- vising sick women free of charge. Outof the vast volume of experience in treat- ing female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably ‘has the very knowledge that will help your case. Syrely, any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she doesnot take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. Substitutes For Coffee.

AAS ATNINNIAA SR ADE RCE RE BOE ©. HE difference between a fs marine and a stationary © engineer is largely the dif- ference between the respec- © tive mechanical apparatus of which they have charge. A sta- tionary engineer's plant is always per- manent as to location and foundation, while a marine engineer's is constantly shifting as to the former. A stationary engineer, as a rule, drives horizontal engines; a marine en- cineer contents himself with the per- pendicular brand. During the past five years considerable improvement has been made in the turbine engine, so {hat it looks as if the great mass of machinery now carried in the hold of an ocean liner will be greatly reduced, as the turbine is the simplest of all engines. . This recently developed engine's sue- cess on land, in large Western power plants, has proved its superiority over the reciprocating engine, both as a power producer and as an economizer of fuel. It is my opinion that a few more years will see the reciprocating engine passing to the scrap pile. Perhaps it would be just as well for me to give the general distinction be- tween the marine or perpendicualr en- zine. the land or horizontal engine, and the turbine, which is suitable for both. The marine engine is built perpen- dicular because that is the most eco- nomical form aboard a ship; if a hori- zontal engine were placed aboard a ship the floor space it would occupy would be from three to four times the amount of fioor space occupied by a vertical engine of the same horse- power, and floor space aboard ship is a very valuable consideration. 1n hori- zontal engines the stroke of the piston is well illustrated by a man planing a board; he planes parallel with his bench; inf the vertical engine the stroke is like that of a churndasher, up and down. Marine engines may be either single. double, triple, quadruple, or even quin- tuple or sextuple expansion engines. That is, they may have one, two, three, four, five <r six ciylinders, all of in- creasing size, each driving a piston rod. The average liner may have from two to four of these giant engines, with a double battery of twelve boilers, supplying them with steam at a press- ure ail the way from 240 to 420 pounds to the square inch. On a land engine all this power might be, and in some rare instances is, concentrated in one gigantic vertical or horizontal engine, but aboard ship an engine cannot afford to be too tall, else, im rough weather, it would lose its cen- tre of gravity and topple over. As a rule, twin-screw steamers have engines known as the port starboard engine, each engine driving an independent shaft or screw: these engines may be and frequently are coupled up so that they work together, but aboard battle- ships they are always left uncoupled, because it assists in maneuvring to be able to drive one screw faster than the other. In a triple screw steamer there are usually three independent engines, each driving a screw. These engines may represent all the way from 100 to 12,000 horse power, and as a horse pow- er means the lifting of 32,000 pounds one foot in one minute, you ean figure out what a 12,000 horse power engine does in the way of work in a six-day transatlantic voyage. But these engines are not all the en- gines used aboard a giant liner. There is an independent engine used for driv- ing the dynamos of the electric plant; another for driving the ventilating fans, another for driving the hold hoist, and still another for the anchor hoists and the refriegating plant. An engineer's staff aboard a liner is made up about as follows: Chief engi- neer, two senior engineers, four junior engineers, four machinists, four yeo- men, eight to ten oilers and wipers, one chief of fire room, three assistant fire chiefs, thirty to fifty stokers, twenty NANAN SY. aaa coal passers, twenty coal trimmers, four to six electricians, four wiremen and six to eight donkey engine drivers. As a rule most every passenger aboard a liner gets it into his head that the captain is the most important per- sonage aboard. and as a rule he is, but his name would be J. Herbert Mudd without the engine room staff. Take a quick passage and the passengers will compliment the captain, when in all fairness the glory belongs to the engi- neering staff. Every chief engineer could, if it were required of him, go into the chart room and peg out the vessel's path, or he could find her lati- tude and longitude from her rail. or mount the bridge and command her, but not one captain in a thousand could go into an engine room and oil up an engine, let alone run it. The distinction between the vertical and horizontal reciprocating engines and the turbine engine lies in the fact that the latter has no piston; the steam enters the turbine muci as water en- ters the hood of an overshot wheel, and Being under great pressure, strikes against flanges which-are centred on a shaft, causing it to revolve at great speed. The motion of a turbine is therefore continuously forward. or backward if it is reversed, just like a wheel moves. A reciprocating engine, be it vertical or horizontal, drives a piston out from its cylinGer by the pres- sure of steam in front ¢f the piston head. In other words, the turbine moves as does a wheel etinched to its axle and set in a frame to prevent it moving forward and the same distance back again. It is rather difiicult to ex- plain machine construction to the un- technical mind by the use of terms alone, diagrams are required and elaborate explanatory motes accompa- nying <uem in order that even an ink- ling may be had as to the general con- struction of 2 given machine. I have c¢ften wondered why men in prison do not stuay the technique of some given brand of engineering—take a man dcing a five-year term and he could by judicious study fit himself to take a minor position, such as oiler aboard a liner or ia a great power plant, and then learn the practical end of the business and 2ventually get an engineer's certificate. I would sug- gest to those who would take up this study the following course: Physics, or the science of natural law, wherein one becomes. acquainted with natural phenomena. its applica- tion to mechanics and the equations deducted therefrom. Mathematics, which allows one to make use of his knowledge of physics and its equations. Chemistry. a useful adjunct to every branch of higher engineering and abso- lutely necessary to some. Mechanical drawing, which allows one to study the designs of others and put on paper one’s own ideas and de- signs. Mechanical construction or applied mechanics, which teaches one why a given machine is buiit one way and not another; this is simply physics spe- cialized. The evolution of science, because of its widening influence on the mind. English grammar, because it not only makes one intelligently receptive of the ideas of another, but allows one to so express himself that the reader or listener can intelligently understand what one is trying to say. Logie, because it helps one to be sane, and that is a requirement of all higher mechanics. Geography, history and kindred stu- dies, because they help any man to more intelligently grasp the great ques: tions of the day and time and to do his work with an intelligent understanding of its purpose, and not as a simple ma- chine. The thing all good engineers must and do avoid is liquor.

HAl HAL Two or Three Good Laughers Can Start Up an Audience. “There no better -nlace in town to notice how contagious laughter is than right here in this theatre,” said Frank White, of the Denver Orpheum, to a reporter of the Post in that city. “Fre- quently a show will go great one night and the next go almost tae other way. It will be a good show. bu- the second night the people with infectious laughs won’t be here. There are about half a dozen people who come here every week, who help the show out wonder- fully with their laughs. If they'd come every night I believe we'd give them passes. One c¢f them is a big, fat, red-faced man, who always sits in a box. Whenever a joke is sprung he turns toward the audience and laughs in such a way that people ‘who see him simply have to join him. The perform- ers appreciate the laughs and, after that, work their hardest. One night we had an awfully cold audience here. Laughs were so few that the people on | the stage were working in a dis- couraged way, and the performance was going bad. Al of a ~udden, when the show was half over, something pleased a pretty little golden haired girl sitting in the third row with her parents, and she let ou: the cutest baby chuckle I ever heard, That start- ed the audience. The people joined her, and after that the show went gireat. In my opinion every theatre, where comedy is presented, should have two or three hearty laughers in the audience at every performance to start the laughs when the crowds are cold. TI really believe it would pay the management to put them on the salary Lst.’” Automatic Time-Table. An ingenious train indicator has been set up at the entrance to Church End, Finchley station, says the London Ex- press. It is the invention of two local tradesmen, and stands some eight feet high. In the top of the front is a clock regulated so as to keep time with the station clock. In the centre of the-ma- chine, behind a glass panel, appear in bold figures the times of trains leaving the station for one hour. Every hour the whole of these train times are automatically changed in ac- cordance with the movement of the clock, and so from morning to night the public have the train time table hour by hour placed before them.

A Young Girl said to a Cooking School Teacher in New York: “If You make One Statement as False as That, All You have said :bout Foods This burst of true American girl in- dignation was caused by the teacher saying that Grape-Nuts, the popular pre-digested food, was made of stale bread shipped in and sweetened. The teacher colored up and changed the subject. There is quite an assortment of trav- eling and stay-at-home members of the tribe of Ananias who tell their false- hoods for a variety of reasons. In the spring it is the custom on a cattle ranch to have a “round-up.” and brand the cattle, so we are going to have a “round-up,” and brand these | cattle and place them in their proper pastures. FIRST PASTURE. Cooking school teachers—this in- cludes “teachers” who have applied to us for a weekly pay if they would say “something nice” about Grape- Nuts and Postum. and when we have declined to hire them to do this they get waspy and show their true colors. This also includes tors” and ‘‘lecturers” sent out by a certain Sanitarium to sell foods made there, and these people in- structed by the small-be-whiskered- doctor—the head of the institution —to tell these prevarications (you can speak the stronger word if you like). This same little doctor con- ducts a small magazine in which there is a department of “answers to correspondents,” many of the questions as well as the answers being written by the aforesaid doc- tor. In this column some time ago ap- peared the statement: **No, we can- not recommend the use of Grape- Nuts, for it is nothing but bread with glucose poured over it.” Right then he showed his badge as a mem- ber of the tribe of Ananias. He may have been a member for some time before, and so he has caused these “lecturers” to descend into the ways of the tribe wherever they go. When the young lady in New York put the “irom on” to this “teacher” and branded her right we sent $10.00 to the girl for her pluck and bravery. “demonstra- SECOND PASTURE. Editors of “Trade” papers known as grocers’ papers. Remember, we don’t put the brand on all, by any means. Only those that require it. These members of the tribe have demanded that we carry advertising in their papers and when we do not cousider it ad- visable they institute a campaign of vituperation and slander, printing from time to time manufactured slurs on Postum or Grape-Nuts. When they go far enough we set our legal force at work and hale them to the judge to answer. If the pace has been hot encugh to throw some of these *‘cattle” over on their backs, feet tied and “bellow- ing,” do you think we should be blamed? They gambol around with tails held high and jump stiff leg- ged with a very ‘‘cocky” air while they have full range, but when the rope is thrown over them ‘it's dif- ferent.” Should we untie them because they bleat soft and low? Or should we put the iron on. so that people will know the brand? Let's keep them in this pasture, anyhow. is Absolutely Unreliable.’ THIRD PASTURE. Now we come to a frisky lot, the “Labor Union” editors. You know down in Texas a weed called “Loco” is sometimes eaten by a steer and produces a derangement of the brain that makes the steer “batty” or crazy. Many of these editors are “Locoed” from .hate of anyone who will not instantly obey the “demands” of a labor union, and it is the universal habit of such writ- ers to go straight into a system of personal vilification. manufacturing any sort of falsehood through which to vent their spleen. We assert that the common citizen has a right to live and breathe air without asking permission of the labor trust, and this bas brought down on us the hate of these editors. When they go far enough with their libels, is it harsh for us to get judgment against them and have our lawyers watch for a chance to attach money due them from others? (For they are usually irresponsible}. Keep your eye out for the “Lo- coed” editor. Now let all these cheice specimens take notice: We will deposit one thousand or fifty thousand dollars to be covered by a like amount from them, or any one of them, and if there was ever one ounce of old bread or any other ingredient different than our selected wheat and barley with a little salt and yeast used in the making of Grape-Nuts, we will lose the money. Our pure food factories are open at all times to visitors, and thousands pass through each month, inspecting every department and every process. Our factories are so clean that one j could, with good relish, eat a meal from the floors. The work people, both men and wo- men, are of the highest grade in the State of Michigan, and according to the State labor reports, are the highest paid in the State for similar work. Let us tell you exactly what you will see when you inspect the manufacture of Grape-Nuts. You will find tremen- dous elevators containing the choicest wheat and barley possible to buy. These grains are carried through long conveyers to grinding mills, and there converted into flour. Then the ma- chines make selection of the proper quantities of this fiour in the proper proportion and these parts are blended into a general flour which passes over to the big dough mixing machines, there water, salt and a little yeast are added and the dough kneaded the proper length of time. Remember that previous to the bar- ley having been ground it was passed through about one hundred hours of soaking in water, then placed on warm floors and slightly sprouted, developing the diastase in the barley, which changes the starch in the grain into a form of sugar. Now after we have passed it into dough and it has been kneaded long enough, it is moulded by machinery into loaves about 18 inches long and 5 or 6 inches in diameter. It is put into this shape for convenience in second cooking. These great loaves are sliced by ma- chinery and the slices placed on wire trays, these trays, in turn, placed great steel trueks, a i secondary ovens, e feet long. There to a long, low which has not been h formed, is turned into a f generally known as Fo 3 be seen glisteni Grape-Nuts if held and this sugar is not put on the food as these pr ignorantly assert.

This Post Sugar is the most digesti- ble food known for human use. It is so perfect in its adaptability that moth- ers with very young infants will pour ine ry tl a little warm milk over two or three | spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, thus washing the sugar off from the granules and carrying it with the milk to the bottom’ on | r RO | +{ There is iof the dish.

It is by no means manufactured for a baby food, but these facts are stated as an illustration of a perfectly digestible food. 1t furnishes the energy and strength for the great athletes. It is in common use by physicians in their own families and among their patients, and can be seen on the table of every first-class -oliege in the land. We quote from the London Tancet analysis as follows: “The basis of nomenclature of this preparation is evidently an American pleasantry, since ‘Grape-Nuts’ is de- rived solely from cereals. The prepara- tory process undoubtedly converts the food constituents into a much more di- gestible condition than in the raw cereal. This is evident from the re- markable solubility of the preparation, no less than one-half of it being soluble in cold water. The soluble part con- tains ¢hiefly dextrin and no starch. In appearance ‘Grape-Nuts’ resembles fried bread-crumbs. The grains are brown and erisp, with a pleasant taste not unlike slightly burnt malt. Accord- ing to our analysis the following is the composition of ‘Grape-Nuts:” Moist- ure, 6.02 per cent.: mineral matter, 2.01 per cent.; fat, 1.60 per cent.; proteids, 15.00 per cent.; soluble carbohydrates, ete., 49.40 per cent.: and unaltered carbohydrates (insoluble), 25.97 per cent. The features worthy of note in this analysis are the excellent propor- tion of proteid. mineral matters, and soluble carbohydrates per cent. The mineral matter was rich in phosphorie acid. ‘Grape-Nuts’ is described as a brain and nerve food, whatever that may be. Our analysis, at :any rata, shows that it is a nutritive of a high order, since it contains the constituents of a complete food in very satisfactory and rich proportion and in an easily as- similable state.’ . An analysis made by the Canadian Government some time ago shows that Grape-Nuts contains nearly ten times the digestible elements contained in or- dinary cereals, and foods, and nearly twice the amount contained in any other food analyzed. The analysis is familiar to practically every successful physician in America and T.ondon. We print this statement in order that the public may know the exact facts upon which we stake our honor and will back it with any amount of money that any person or corporation will put up. We propose to follow some of these oice specimens of the tribe of Ana- nias. When you hear a cooking school teacher or any other person assert that either Postum or Grape-Nuts are made of any other ingredients than those printed on the packages and as we say they are made, send us the name and address, also name of two or three witnesses, and if the evidence is clear enough to get a judgment we will right i 1g quickly. i Our business has always been con- i ducted on as high a grade of human in- te nce as we are capable of, and we se to clear the deck of these pre- itors and liars whenever and 1 they can be found. ntion is a n called to the gen- d broad invitation to visitors to 1gh our works, where they will shown the most minute process and Thre Til n : device in order that they may under- | stand how pure and clean and whole- | some Grape-Nuts and Postum ave. ) ‘ing among busi- ss men that there is some chance to in a fool, but there is no room for a for you never can tell where you . and we hereby serve notice on all [ the members of this ancient tribe of fA nine that they may follow: their fc lling in other lines, but when they {put forth their lies about Grape-Nuts | and Postum, we propese toegive them jan opportunity to answer to the proper i authorities.
