Medicine Which Made Sur
geon's Work Unnecessary.
Astoria, N. Y. - "For two years I
Was feeling ill and took all kinds of
tonics. I wasget
Ingworse everyday.
I had chillz,y head
would ache, I was
always tired. I could
not walk straight
because of the pain
in myback and I had
pains in rmy stom
ach. I went to a
doctor and he said I
must go under an
operation, but I. did
not go. I read in
the paper about
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.
pound and told my husband about it. I
said 'I know nothing will help me but I
will try this.' I found myself improv
ing from the very first bottle, and in two
weeks time I was able to sit down and
eat a hearty breakfast with my hus
band,which I had not done for two years.
I am now in the best of health and
did not have the operation." - Mrs.
JonN A. KOENIc, 502 Flushing Avenue,
Astoria, N. Y.
Every one dreads the surgeon's knife
and the operating table. Sometimes
nothing else will do; but many times
doctors say they are necessary when
they are not. Letter after letter comes
to the Pinkham Laboratory, telling how
operations were advised and were not
performed; or, if performed, did to good,
but Lydia E.Pinkham's Vegetable Com
poundwas used and good health followed,

In this Matter
of Health
one is either with the winners
br with the losers.
It's largely a question of
right eating-right food. For
sound health one must cut out
rich, indigestible foods and
choose those that are known
to contain the elements that
build sturdy bodies and keen
brains.
Grape-Nuts
is a wonderfully balanced
food, made from whole wheat
and barley. It contains all the
nutriment of the grain, includ
ing 6e mineral phosphates,
indispensable in Nature's plan
for body and brain rebuilding.
Grape-Nuts is a concen
trated food, easy to digest.
It is econbmical, has delicious
flavor, comes ready to eat,
and has helped thousands in
the winning class.

Marie Gets Autograph, but Not One She Expected
SW ASHINGTON.-A smiling gentleman with eyeglasses walked down the
I curved path on the White House lawn and was stepping through the
gate, when one of two youngish won en, just about to enter, gushed up to himil
with extended hand. The gentleman
lifted his hat and shook the hand.
"Pardon me, Mr. President, but I
just can't help telling you how per
fect-ly lovely we think you are. Marie, I -
this is is Mr. Wilson. She lives in Wilkes
Barre and has never seen you--"
Marie from Wilkes-Thirre ventured -
out a hand and the gentleman shook it.
"I knew you the mlinute I saw you,
Mr. President. Anybody would know
you by your smile. You recognize him
by his pictures, don't you, Marie? And,
oh, Mr. President, will you mind giving Marie your autograph? It would
be per-fect-ly lovely to show it to them at home. alive the president your
note book. Marie."
Marie held out the note book. The gentleman took it and wrote:
"John T. Brown, Chicgo."
It's all right to give his name. He told it himself to a newspaper 1lmaln.
Labor Department to Have Handsome New Building
C ONTRACTS have been awarded for the construction of a thoroulghly
Smodern office building for the department of labor. The new home of the
department of labor Is to include many features not often found in ever the
most modern office buildings. Conuno
dious rest rooms for man and woman
employees and a roof garden, are
among these features, which also in
Sdelude the probability of a cafe and
- prestaurant for the use of employees
of the department.
SThe new building is to occupy a
r site 92 by 101 feet on the south side of
* af - '% G street, just west of the corner of
Seventeenth street, opposite the de
partment's present home In the Mills
building. Two dwellings, two old
buildings that have stood since before the Civil war-one of which has been
occupied as a branch of the Associated Charities-and a marble yard and
ornamental cement works now occupy the site.
The building is to be nine stories in height, and the arrangement is to
be such as to provide ample light and ventilation on all sides. Especial
attention is being given in the preparation of the plans to provisions for the
comfort and health of employees of the department, and it is claimed that
the new building, when completed, is to be a model among buildings devoted
to the use of government departments.
Materials to be used are buff brick and stone trim, the general style
of the new building to be somewhat similar to that of the building occupied
by the department of commerce at Nineteenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue.
The department of labor has a lease on the building for a term of yetaI
at an annual rental of $24,000.
Neither "Eels" or "Snakes;" Merely Stringbeans
W HEN John S. Ward of Cherrydale, Va., sauntered into the District building
the othd? day he managed to create a sensation unequaled since that
memorable day when Detective Patrick O'Brien shaved off his mustache. The
doorkeeper looked at Ward suspi
ciously.
S"I'm not sure you can bring eels
into this place," he said.
Ward, lightly twirled the three
foot, limp and lifeless things that
dangled from his right hand.
"They're not eels," he stated, con
fldently. cS1*
Then the elevator boy saw them.
"Snakes!" he exclaimed, with sin- *
cere emotion. "Oh, my Lawd!"
And the elevator bounded sky
ward, with the elevator boy praying at every jump that the passenger
wouldn't ride to the top floor.
However, that is what Ward did. He landed on the fifth floor and
carried his treasure into one of the offices.
"Stringbeans," announced Ward, calmhnly. "They're three feet long, too."
There was no question about it. The stringbeans were measured, and
one of them was 38 and a fraction of inches in length. Ward claims that
one strthgbean, upon which he lavished particular attention, reached the
length of 44 inches, which he states is a stunning record-breaker for this
part of the country. Six of Ward's stringbeans will provide a sufficient
supply for a small family-providing the family isn't overfond of string
beans.
The butt end of these mammoth beans is strongly reminiscent of the
head of a reptile.
Career of Historic Coast Guard Cutter Is Ended
T HNE remarkable and historic career of the coast guard cutter Thetis, cover
ing a period of 35 years, is done. Having "outlived her usefulness." in the
cold, matter-of-fact way in which she is thrown into the discard as superannu
ated by the officials of the coast guard,
who consider only efficiency, she was
sold recently for $25,100.
In normal times the Thetis would
have fetched, coast guard officials es
timate, less than $4,000. The present
S scarcity of ships caused many firms
to submit bids for the vessel. Even
at the price $25,100, however, officials
- "- believe she virtually will pay for her
self on her first commercial trip be
. . s( cause of the prevailing high rates of
ocean transportation. It was the The
tis-a Dundee whaler-that found the explorer Lieut. A. W. Greely and his
(i surviving companions of the Lady Franklin bay Arctic expedition, with
death only a matter of hours, in the frozen North and brought them back to
!civilization. This was the great and glorious accomplishment of this stanch
ship, which successfully battled with ice, leading the companion ship, the
Bear, in this quest, while a third ship, the Alert, found the way barred to her
utmost endeavors.
This was the feat that brought an undying and unquestioned glory to
her commander, then Commander Winfleld Scott Schley, afterward the hero
of Santiago, and the other naval officers and men who accompanied him in
this Greely relief expedition.
VAST CANIDIAN MUNITION PLANT.
Scattered over a U-shaped area a mile long, covering 450 acres, a great
powder plant, costing upward of $1,500,000, was recently completed in five
months at Drummondvllle, Quebec, by an American. firm of engineers and
constructors. Two acid-making plants added to the original contract have since
been built, at an additional cost of $500,000. As described in the current issue
of the Engineering Record, the work as a whole required extensive clearnlag
and grading, the construction of 75 concrete, brick, and timber buildings, and
a railroad yard, the installation of heavy machinery, and the fitting of an
extraordinary quantity of pipe. It will be operated by the Aetna Chemical
comiany of Canada for the nmanufacture of guncotton and smokeless powder.

a spoonful of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone to
night. Your druggist or dealer sells you a 50
cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone under lmy
personal money-back guarantee that each spoon
ful will clean your sluggish liver better than a
(lose of nasty calomel and that it won't make
you sick.
Dodso 's Liver Tone is real liver medicine.
You'll know it next morning because you will
wake up feeling fine, your liver will be working,
your headache and dizziness gone, your stomach
will be sweet and your bowels regular. You will
feel like working; you'll be cheerful; full of vigor
and ambition.
Dodson's Liver Tone is entirely vegetable,
therefore harmless, and can not salivate. Give it
to your children. Millions of people are using
Dodson's Liver Tone instead of dangerous calomel
now. Your druggist will tell you that the sale of
calomel isfalmost stopped entirely, here.--Adv.
