Bears tba i tJlgs&ttue MRS. LYON'S ACHES AND PAINS Have All Gone Since Taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound. TcrroHlll, Pa. "Kindly permit mo to givo you my testimonial in favor of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vogetablo Com pound. When I first began taking it I was suffering from female troubles for Bomo time and had almost all kinds of aches pains in low er part of back and in Bides, and press ing down pains. I could not sleep and had no appetite. Since I havo taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound the aches and pains are all gone and I feel like a new woman. I cannot praise your medicino too highly." Mrs. Augustus Lyon, Tcrre Hill, Pa. It is truo that nature and a woman's work has produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that tho world has over known. From the roots and herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham, forty years ago, gave to womankind a remedy for their peculiar ills which has proved moro efficacious than any other combination of drugs ever com pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is recognized from coast to coast as tho standard remedy for woman's ills. In tho Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., aro files containing hundreds of thousands of letters from women seek ing health many of them openly stata over their own signatures that they havo regained their health by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; and in some cases that it has saved them from surgical operations. The declaration alleges that the de fendants wero tho owners ot the Eureka vending machine and that they consplied to cheat and did cheat the plaintiff. Tho plot of the conspiracy, as alleged In tho complaint, was that the defendant Alex ander should pretend that tho patent be longed to the others, that ns traveling salesman for them ho knew moro than they did about the value of the patent and could buy It of them for much less than It was worth. Alexander was to pretend that he was buying tho patent of the other defendants for $15,000, putting In one-half himself while the plaintiff put in the other half. The papers allege that the plaintiff put In his J7,r0, that Alexander put in nothing, and that all the defendants divided tho JT.&O among themselves. A STUBBORN COUGH IS WKAIUNG AMI 11 1 SKY.

Striking facts regarding our forest re sources, their value and their waste, are condensed In an eight-page illustrated circular of the American Forestry asso ciation Just Issued. The lumber Industry Is said to employ 73n,0"0 people, to whom aro paid nnnunlly SSflT.Ofii.i") In wages, the worth of products being $1.2f0.0").000. The forests of the country cover Cr,0,000,- 000 ncres. An average of "0 human lives are sacri ficed annually In forest fires, says tho circular, and a loss occurs of $25,(Vj00. Damage from insects and tree dlheases, which follow fire, costs each year JCO,- 000,000. The cost of destruction resulting from floods Is not estimated, but Is given as "countless millions." But tho clrculnr expresses hope moro than pessimism. As well as the colored pictures showing the forest lire, the effects ot tho fire, and the damage caused ly floods, t shows also forests planted and grown under Intensive management, and th national forest ranger scouting for fires on tho mountain lookout sta tion. The effective patrol here referred to has reduced "forest lire losses to as low as une-telith of one cent nn acre." It Is pointed out that by planting for ests an annual Income could be derived In the country of $15,o00,0ij; and by pre servative treatment upon timber each year $!,( ilnO could bo saved. U. S. Forest Service. THE ELECTRIC SHIP. The first large vessel to bo equipped with electric propulsion Is tho new Uni ted States collier Jupiter. The ixiwcr plant of the vessel consists .of a Curtis steam-turbine engine and electric dyna mo combined. The dynamo delivers cur rent to two Induction motors, each of which Is connected to a propeller shaft. With electrical propulsion, it Is much f'isler to mnnoeuvre the ship nnd to re; ulate Its sliced. As tho control levers are situated In the pilot house, It is no longer necessary to transfc- orders to the engine-room. The electric power plant ulso occupies smaller space and weighs less than marine engines that de velop an equal amount of energy. Ex change. Tin: largest woon.sT.wn imim:. The Northwestern Electric company of Portland, Ore., has recently built for the conveyance of water what Is, so far as we know, the largest wood-stave pipe yet constructed. It Is 134 feet In diameter. nd one mile In length. According to de tails given In the Engineering News, there are 94 4-Inch staves around the cir cumference, tho normal length of which Is 18 feet. The construction of tho plpo called for over l.OOO.OJ) feet board meas ure of Douglas II r, consisting of 1,000,000 feet in tho plpo proper, 476,100 feet In the rndle and 210.000 In the mud sills. The taves were laid without tongue or groove, there being a steel iiohtj plate in one end of each stave to make tight tho butt Joints. The pipe was laid upon a bed of solid ground and, to stiffen it against distortion, it was carried In sup porting cradles which were spaced four and one-half feet apart on tangents, tho saddles being carefully cut to shape. SUFFRAGE NOTES. Some Hensnnx Why Men Mioulil Not Vote. Because men dc not use the ballot when they havo it. Only 20 per cent. of the electors of Now York Stato voted on the question of holding a ronsttt-i- tlonal convention next year. And only 1G per cent, of tho mnle voters of Dallas, Texas, cast their ballots at the last elec tion. Therefore, all men should be d. -prived of the franchise. Because men havo not nsked for the ballot. W hen men are 21 they havo the right to vote thrust upon them whether they want It or not. Even aliens who become natural ized do not ask for tho vote. Undoubted ly many of them would like the privi leges nnd protection of citizenship with out responsibility. But the States give them the franchise without their con sent, even though their tlmo is fully occupied with their duties as wago earners nnd fathers. Voting seriously Interferes with men's business, requiring as it does that one whole business day each year shall bo a holiday. Therefore, no man of twenty-ono should bo given tho right to vote until all men of 21 havo nsked for it. PUBLISHED FOR "THE CAUSE."
