I got a bottle of Lydia E. Tinkham's Vegetable Com- pound ana it mauo me feel much better, and I have contln ued its use. I am very grateful to you for the trood health am now eniovinir." Mrs. Saraii Lou8iokont, 414 S. Livingston Street, Brookfleld, Ho. The Change of Life is the most criti cal period of a woman's existence, and neglect of health at this time invites disease and pain. Women everywhere should remem ber that there is no other remedy known to medicine that will so suc cessfully carry women through this trying period as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from na tive roots and herbs. For 80 years it has been curing wo men from the worst forms of femalo ills inflammation, ulceration, (lis- f'lacements, fibroid tumors, irregularl ies, periodic pains, backache, and nervous prostration.

Her advice is free, and always hclpfuL An aching back is instantly relieved by an application of Sloan's Liniment. This liniment takes the place of massage and is better than sticky plasters. It penetrates without rubbing through the skin and muscular tissue right to the bone, quickens the blood, relieves congestion, and gives permanent as well as temporary relief. Here's the Proof. Mr. James O. Lee, of 1100 9th St., 8.E.,Waahln!ton,I.0., writes: "Thirty years ago I fell from a scaffold ami serl omly Injured my back. I Buffered terri bly at times ; from the small of my back all around my stomach was Just as If I had been beaten with a club. 1 used every plaster I could get with no relief. ' Sloan's Liniment took the pain right out, and I can now do as much ladder Work as any man in the shop, thanks to Sloan's Liniment Mr. J. P. Evaxs, of Mt. Airy, Ga., ays: "After being afflicted for three rears with rheumHtism, I used Sloan's Liniment, and was cured sound and well, and am glad to say I haven't been troubled with rheumatism since. My leg was badly swollen front my hip to my knee. One-half a bottle took the pain ana swelling out." Sloan's Liniment has no equal as a remedy for Rheu matism, Neuralgia or any pain or stiffness in the muscles or joints.

A simple and easy method where by one's gloves may be made to wear longer is to turn the fingers of gloves, when they are first bought, on the wrong side and stick little strips of court plaster over the seams. This will be good for a long time. Angela Harrison, in the Farmers' Home Journal. A PRETTY CONCEIT. A pretty conceit Is a four-leaved clover In the finger bowl in place of the usual violet or geranium leaf. Some people find these lucky clovers easily. Others looks for them in vain. They are said to be more plentiful late in the season after the grass has been cut many times. A real four-leaved clover on one's note paper has far more character than the conventional decoration bought at a stationer's. Indianapolis News. PLANTS IN BEDROOMS. Although the presence of plants in sleeping apartments, so long as they are exposed to the action of the sun's light, tends to increase health, owing owing to the quality of oxygen they exhale, yet at night they should al ways be removed, as during the dark ness they give off, instead of oxygen, carbonic acid gas, which produces the most injurious effect on the system, even when respired only in small quantities. The reason plants pro duce another effect when exposed to the light than when in darkness has by attributed by Lelblg to the chloro phylllgerous leaves, when not under the influence of light, allowing the carbonic acid furnished by the roots for the support of the plant to es cape. New York Times. THE CARE OF MATTING. All soaps tend to discolor matting, and even water should be used as sparingly as possible on it. Sweep it with a soft brush and then go over it with a damp cloth to remove dust. Rub any especially soiled spots with a cloth vrung from hot water, and in case oil or grease has been spilled, apply a paste of fuller's earth and water. When It dries lay a paper over it and let it stand a few days, then brush up and the stain will have disappeared. If water Is spilled, wipe up as dry as possible and let the win dows stay open till it Is dry, or it it is too cold or damp, lay a dry cloth over the spot and press with a hot flatiron till dry. When laying mat- j ting, paper should always be put un derneath to lessen the wear. They j should be cut long enough to admit of the ends being turned under, and when a half width is use! that side should be bound and placed next to the wall. Old window shades make excellent binding. Sometimes mat ting is sewed together Instead of each strip being laid separately, but it will not fit the floor as smoothly as when the edges Just meet and are Joined with double-pointed tacks. Matting should never be lapped. The best grades are very soft and beautiful ' and wear almost as well as a carpet, but cheap matting is so loosely woven and so easily broken that it is dear at any price. It is well when buying ; to get enough extra for several small j rugs. The ends of these may be fringed out, and thsy can be placed over the spots on the floor whene the ! most wear comes. They are so fine and thin they will be hardly noticed. Boston Post.

GOVERNMENT IN END TO CONTROL WATER POWER Consolidation Preliminary, In Opinion of Geologleal Survey - -Our Country Behind Others. Consolidation of water-power con trol in the United States is inevitable, but the ultimate control will be in the hands of the Government. This is the assertion made in a bulletin on the subject Just issued by the United States Geological Survey. Marshall O. Leighton, chief hy drographer of the survey, in a pre face to the bulletin, says there is a menace to American Industrial lead ership In the present . situation of American unpreparedness to meet the new questions involved in power de velopment in the United States In connection with the great advance made abroad in this direction. He said certain great consolidations of water-power interests hav ken place during the last, few years, which, with the appearance of the names of a few persons among the officers or in the directorate of a large number of water-power compa nies, point unmistakably to a concen tration of ownership in several groups that might consolidate or at least effect a community of interest. This Nation, he says, now has no water-power policy worthy of the name. It must, therefore, he de clares, cither meet the situation with some such comprehensive plan as that recommended by President Taft in his conservation message to Congress or else give way to countries which have well defined policies. Certain European countries, not ably Switzerland nnd Italy, are far ahead of America with respect to the water-power problem, and advanced action In the matter of Federal regu lation already has been taken, accord ing to a report in the bulletin from M. Rene Tavernler, Chief Engineer of the Department of Public Works of France. M. Tavernler says that these countries now recognize water power as a public utility. Leighton urges the need for con certed State or National action. He cites opinions to show the right of the Federal Government to control water power on navigable streams and tributaries and to make charges for water power. The water-power sites of Europe, he says, are close to the great mar kets of the world and the cheapest sources of energy are going to be used without reference to any partic ular flag. He asks if there is any one In the United States so confident of this country's leadership as to as sert that the wholesale development of these large and cheap powers will, not seriously affect this nation's In trial status. He ends with the declaration that the solution of the problem lies in legislative regulation of water-powier development. Tiillboard Revenues. One hundred and fifty dollars a month! That is the revenue Los Angeles derives from the myriads of billboards that convert the beauty of the town into ugliness. Five dollars a day! That is the sum total of the payments made by all the vandals here engaged In the business of desecrating the charming homes of Los Angeles. For that rev enue the city bestows its permission on the billboard builders to destroy values in the residence section; to maintain nuisances that are flagrant ly objectionable and highly injurious to hundreds and hundreds of men and women who spend time and money and labor In making their homes beautiful. It Is an outrage! And it is an outrage against which all the powers of this municipal gov- eminent should be promptly em ployed. Los Angeles Express. Eye Strain in School. A little boy or girl totally blind is an extremely pathetic sight, but next to this Is a child wearing spectacles to piece out its defective eyesight. Yet such cases are declared by doc tors to be on the increase, and they claim that many of them are caused by the eye strain to which those I , under ten years of age are subjected in the schools. A number of years I ago a crusade was begun against : nizrBemaias, eioer Bisters auu even reckless mothers who would expose ; babies' eyes to the direct glare ot the sun when taking tne helpless lntants out for an airing in baby carriages. That crusade la by no means .ended yet, and many a courageous woman wfll tordav stoD a baby carriage whose ! occupant's unprotected eyes are he .' ing blinded by the sun, and will in j struct the attendant to either shut out the light or wheel the carriage In i another direction. Newark News. Dutch Bulb Trade. According to a recently-Issued Britisn consular report, tne traae in i Dutch bulbs continues to Increase.

It is remarkable that the Dutch thus maintain their supremacy, and can still produce better bulbs than English florists. Some attribute this to the peculiarity ot the soil ot Holland, and the bulb farms are mostly on an area between Leyden and Haarlem, recently reclaimed from the sea. The Illy bulb trade, however, has passed almost entirely to Spain. The source of the world's clove supply is Zanzibar and the neighbor ing island of Pemba. Government vs. Brewers. The biggest brewer In England states that the consumption of beer has decreased in five years bv more than 2,000,000 barrels from 32 to 26 gallons a head of population. His manager says: "The government has mads up its mind to damn brewers if possible. We have made up our minds to damn this government; it will be impossible for us ever to pay a dividend so long as we have the leg islation the present government wants to force upon us."
