SPECIAL TO WOMEN
Do you realize the fact that thousands
of women are now using
k Soluble Antiseptic Powder
8.8 a remedy for membrane af
fections, such as sore throat, nasal or
pelvic catarrh, Inflammation or ulcera
tion, causeu by female ills? Women
who have been cured say “it is worth
its weight in gold.” Dissolve in water
and apply locally. For ten years the
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. has
recommended Paxtine in their private
correspondence with women.
For all hygienic and toilet uses it has
no equal. Only 50c a large box at Drug

tion,allays pain,cures wind college a bottleJk*
When a man admits that he is on a
fool’s errand you need not hesitate to
take his word for it.
The Reason.
“There is a great deal of snap and
go about Jimson's business methods.”
“How so?”
‘‘He makes rat traps.”
Natural Enough.
“I see where Jinks decided after all
not to retire from his livery stable bus
iness.”
“Yes, he is still in harness.”
Voice of Experience.
"I have a suit against a circus and I
propose to attach the elephant.”
“Take my advice and attach the boa
constrictor instead. The elephant eats
four times a day, while the snake only
eats about four times a month.”
Oh, That Was It.
“Where’d you get the black eye?”
“He was bragging that he had the
finest boy in town.”
“But a man should be excused for a
little vanity ”
“But he was making his brag to a
man who had a boy of his own.”
Poor Fehow.
The pretty storekeeper was unpack
ing and assorting some new goods
when her best young man entered.
She stopped behind the counter a mo
ment and arose with flushed face.
“I'm glad to see you’re stocking up,”
he said.
There’s an unaccountable coldness
between them now.
Remains of Oid Civilization.
Scattered throughout the Caroline
Islands, notably at Ponape and Lele.are
massive ruins, one of a sort of Venice,
•whose origin is wrapped in mystery.
Hundreds of acres in some localities
are covered by the remains of walls,
canals and earthwork of a stupendous
character. There are old roads paved
with stone blocks, ancient stone plat
forms, and on the lagoons ruins of
what w’ere once fish weirs. The is
lands offer a rich field for the archeo
logist.
Superstition ano Juries.
After having sat on many juries the
observant man is of the opinion that
the whole human race is still strong
ly tarred with the brush of supersti
tion.
“I am in that belief by the
amount of damages invariably voted to
plaintiffs whose injuries smack of su
perstitious origin,” he said. “If a load
of bricks should fall from a fifth story
window onto the head of a man who
happened to be walking under a ladder
he would get twice as much damages
as if the ladder were not there. The
element of bad luck that attaches to a
ladder would insensibly influence every
juror, and the sum awarded would re
flect their prejudices and sympathies.”
MEMORY IMPROVED.
Since Leaving Off Coffees
Many persons suffer from poor
memory who never suspect coffee has
anything to do with it.
The drug —caffeine —in coffee, acts
injuriously on the nerves and heart,
causing imperfect circulation, too
much blood in the brain at one time,
too little in another part. This often
causes a dullness which makes a good
memory nearly impossible.
“I am nearly seventy years old and
did not know that coffee was the
cause of the stomach and heart trou
ble I suffered from for many years,
until about four years ago,” writes a
Kansas woman.
"A kind neighbor induced me to
quit coffee and try Postum. I had
been suffering severely and was
greatly reduced in flesh. After using
Postum a little while I found myself
improving. My heart beats became
regular and now I seldom ever no
tice any symptoms of my old stom
ach trouble at all. My nerves are
steady and my memory decidedly
better than while I was using coffee.
“I like the taste of Postum fully as
well as coffee.”
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for booklet, “The
Road to Wellville.”
Postum comes in two forms.
Regular (must be boiled).
Instant Postum doesn’t require
boiling but is prepared Instantly by
stirring a level teaspoonful in an or
dinary cup of hot water, which makes
ft right for most persons.
A big cup requires more and some
people who like strong things put in
a heaping spoonful and temper it with
a large supply of cream.
Experiment until you know the
amount that pleases your palate and
have it served that way in the future.
"There’s a Reason” for Postum.

THE state of Texas is about to
honor the memory of the men
who defended the famous Ala
mo against the Mexicans by a
unique and lasting tribute.
A monument, the tallest in the world,
802 feet in height, will be erected on
the plaza in San Antonio not far from
the Alamo itself. Only one other struc
ture in the world will exceed this
height—the Eiffel tower.
Texans look on the Alamo as sacred,
the old battlefield as hallowed ground,
and the heroes—Crockett, Travis, Bon
ham and Bowie —as demigods. To Tex
ans the great monument will fall short
in indicating the love and admiration
in which these soldiers are held.
But the mammoth structure will be
more than a mere monument. It will
contain a museum and art gallery.
Beauty, gradeur and usefulness will
be combined. There will be an audi
torium for state meetings, and every
county will have an individual room as
signed to it for its own special histor
ical displays. The rugged strength
given the monument will be conceal
ed largely by the graceful lines and
artistic decorations. It will become
one of the wonders of the world that
tourists will go far to see.
Besides the big auditorium there will
be three other halls for meetings of
various associations. Balconies near
the top, which give the structure
beauty when seen from a distance, will
permit visitors to gaze out upon five
counties.
Base to Be of Solid Granite.
The base of the monument will be
of solid granite, rising to a height of
50 feet. On this base will be placed
at each corner of the monument and
arranged around the shaft huge pil
lars each eight feet in diameter and
70 feet high, all of solid Texas granite.
These pillars will be surmounted by
heroic size statues of Travis, Crockett,
Bowie and Bonham, the four great
leaders who died the in the Alamo
with the men in their commands who
had followed them devotedly in the
early days of the campaign for liberty
and vho did not hesitate to follow
them even to death.
Above these statues will be placed
the six flags that have waved at dif
ferent times over Texas, the Lone Star
and the United States flags in the cen
ter, and on each side the flag of the
Confederate States of America, of
Mexico, Spaix and France. Place will
be made, too, for an emblem represent
ing the Indian tribes that possessed
this land before the Spanish adven
turers found their way here.
The exquisite grandeur of design
and the architecture of the structure
will impress itself on the mind, wheth
er viewed from without or within. The
great lobby will focus the extent and
magnitude of the monument like a
beautiful and magnificent image that
takes possession of the thoughts to
the exclusion of the monument and all
else.
Everything about the structure will
be on grand proportions, and the lobby
will be one of the most impressive
sights of the monument. Visitors are
to have free access to it at all times.
Its inside measurements will be 82%
feet square, which will also be the in
side measurements of the auditoriums,
museum and art gallery, each of which
will be larger than any hall in San
Antonio today.
Star of Texas In Dome.
The celling of the lobby will be 50
feet high, an opening in the center,
eight feet across, forming its summit,
and this opening is to be carried up
through each succeeding story until it
reaches a height of 700 feet. Here will
be set into the ceiling, beautifully
lighted by electricity, the Lone Star of
Texas.
The space for 100 feet beneath the
star will have no opening from with-
ALAMO MEMORIAL
out to admit the light, so this star will
be almost as brilliant in the daytima
as at night.
The elevators in the monument, four
in all, will be located between the
massiv 3 columns as far up as these ex
tend, which will be to height of 120
feet from the ground, and above that
in the shaft, in which one will be
placed in each corner and extending
to the base of the dome. These ele
vators will have large carrying capaci
ty, which will be necessary to accom
modate the immense crowds that will
visit Hie monument.
The rooms apportioned to the differ
ent counties of Texas, 275 and 300 (for
some will have to be provided for new
counties that will be created in the
years to come), will be located within
the shaft of the monument above the
four floors, in which will be placed the
auditorium, museum, art gallery and
chambers for patriotic organizations.
These will be reached by the ele
vators, one of which will be designated
to serve them, while the other will run
on express schedule between the first
landing, at a height of about 120 feet,
and the balconies at the top.
The dome of the monument will not
be open to visitors, but will be offer
ed to the federal government for an
observatorw, such as is now maintain
ed at a few places in the United
States, and which is much needed in
the south. At the very top of the great
structure will be located a powerful
searchlight, the strongest that !t will
be possible to obtain.
This powerful light will be turned on
faraway towns if so desired, but gen
erally it will be turned toward the
clouds, and its rays will be visible at
great distances far beyond points from
which the great tower itself may be
seen.
For the maintenance of this monu
ment an admission of 50 cents will be
charged to the museum and art gal
lery, and another admission price of
50 cents will be charged for a trip in
one of the four elevators to the bal
conies near the top of the structure.
Do Men Weep Most Now?
A constant theater goer writes that
from the observation among London
audiences he has come to the conclu
sion that the day of weeping wom
en has passed.
“It seems only a few years ago,” he
writes, “that women wept on the slight
est provocation. A situation in which
the faintest touch of pathos was in
troduced provided an excuse to bring
out the handkerchiefs. Now scenes
which would move the heart of the
most cynical do not bring a tear to
the eye of the modern woman.
“My experience is that men in the
audience more often give vent to
their emotions. If they do not weep,
they sniff and use their handker
chiefs.”
Only Thinks He Thinks.
“I heard something the other day
that greatly surprised me and I have
been worried about it ever since.”
“What was it?”
“I don’t know whether I ought to
mention it to you or not, but I was
told that your daughter’s husband
was a free thinker. She’s such a
love’y girl. I hope it isn’t true.”
“Of course it isn’t. Or if it is it
won’t make any difference. Laura
takes after me, and my hushand was
a free thinker, too, when I married
him. Now he never thinks.”—Chica
go Record-Herald.
A Successor.
"How did the}’ happen to meet?"
“He ran over that poodle, of which
she was so fond.”
“Did he replace it?”
••Looks that way. He and she are
now engaged.”
MANY PERSONS COLOR BLIND
Tests Used by Railroads Show That
Almost Everybody Is Slightly
Color Blind.
The various tests for color blind
ness have come into practical use in
the examination of railroad engineers
and the like, where the ability to dis
tinguish colors is necessary, so that
these tests are no longer peculiar to
the laboratory. But it is not gener
ally known outside the laboratory that
everybody is partially color blind —
that is, in certain parts of the field of
vision. The most normal individual
can see all the colors only when he
looks directly at them. If looked at
from an angle of about fifteen degrees
red and green can no longer be seen,
but in their places will appear shades
of yellow or blue. This region of the
eyes is known as the yellow-blue zone.
If the color be moved still farther to
the side the yellow and blue will dis
appear and only gray can be seen.
This region is known as the zone of
complete color blindness. An inter
esting theory in regard to these zones
is that every normal eye represents
three stages of evolution. The zone
of complete color blindness is the low
est stage, and appears in such ani
mals as the frog, whose vision Is
known as shadow vision. The blue
yellow zone is one step higher in the
scale, although not clearly marked
off in the animal kingdom. And the
appearance of the red-green zone
marks the highest stage of evolution.
Cases of color blindness are, accord
ing to this theory, a lack of develop
ment beyond the early stage of indi
vidual life. —Strand Magazine.
HAIR CAME OUT IN BUNCHES
813 E. Second St., Muncie, Ind. —“My
little girl had a bad breaking out on
the scalp. It was little white lumps.
The pimples would break out as large
as a common pinhead all over her
head. They would break and run yel
low matter. She suffered nearly a year
with itching and burning. It was sore
and itched all the time. The matter
that ran from her head was very thick.
I did not comb her hair very often, her
head was too sore to comb it, and
when I did comb, it <came out in
bunches. Some nights her head itched
so bad she could not sleep.
“I tried several different soaps and
ointments, also patent medicine, but
nothing could I get to stop it. I began
using Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment this summer after I sent for
the free samples. I used them and
they did so much good I bought a cake
of Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura
Ointment. I washed her head with
Cuticura Soap and rubbed the Cuticura
Ointment in the scalp every two
weeks. A week after I had washed her
head three times you could not tell she
ever had a breaking out on her head.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment also made
the hair grow beautifully.” (Signed)

THE LURE OF THE WEST
WESTERN CANADA ATTRACTING
THOUSANDS OF SETTLERS.
Writing on the Canadian West, an
eastern exchange truthfully says:
“The West still calls with impera
tive voice. To prairie and mountain,
and for the Pacific Coast, Ontario's
young men and women are attracted
by tens of thousands yearly. The
great migration has put an end to the
fear, freely expressed not many years
ago by those who knew the West from
the lakes to the farther coast of Van
couver Island, that Canada would
some day break In two because of the
predominance of Continental European
and American settlers in the West.”
This is true. While the immigra
tion from the United States is large,
running close to 150,000 a year, that of
the British Isles and Continental
Europe nearly twice that number, mak
ing a total of 400,000 per year, there
is a strong influx from Eastern Can
ada. It is not only into the prairie
provinces that these people go, but
many of them continue westward, the
glory of British Columbia's great trees
and great mountains, the excellent
agricultural valleys, where can be
grown almost all kinds of agriculture
and where fruit has already achieved
prominence. Then the vast expanse
of the plains attract hundreds of thou
sands, who at once set to work to cul
tivate their vast holdings. There is
still room, and great opportunity in
the West. The work of man’s hands,
even in the cities with their record
breaking building rush, is the small
est part of the great panorama that
is spread before the eye on a journey
through the country. Nature is still
supreme, and man is still the divine
pigmy audaciously seeking to impose
his will and stamp his mark upon an
unconquered half continent.
The feature that most commends
itself in Western development today
is the “home-making spirit.” The
West will find happiness in planting
trees and making gardens and build
ing schools and colleges and universi
ties, and producing a home environ
ment so that there will be no disposi
tion to regard the country as a tem
porary place of abode in which every
one is trying to make his pile prepar
atory to going back East or becoming
a lotus-eater beside the Pacific.
The lure of the West is strong. It
will be still stronger when the crude
new towns and villages of the plains
are embowered in trees and vocal
with the song of birds. —Advertise-
ment. _
Cannon of Solid Rock.
When the island of Malta was under
the rule of the Knights of St. John
they defended their fortifications with
cannon bored in the living rock. Each
one of these strange weapons con
tained an entire barrel of powder, and
as it was not possible to vary the aim
of these cannon 50 were made ready,
facing various directions from which
the enemy might approach.
When the fame of these arms of de
fense became known to the world the
idea was taken up of transporting
rocks to summits to serve the same
purpose, but it was soon recognized to
be impracticable, and the cannon of
Malta, bored in solid rock, have
passed into history as the sole wea
pons of the kind ever known. —Har-
per’s Weekely.
Changes of Climate.
A scientist who recently investigated
the causes of secular variations in tem
perature at the earth’s surface thinks
that they are more probably due to
changes in the amount of carbonic
acid in the atmosphere than to varia
tions in the heat of the sun. If the
amount of carbonic acid that the air
now contains was diminished a little
more than half, the mean temperature
all over the earth would, it is stated,
drop about eight degrees, which would
be sufficient to bring on another gla
cial period. On the other hand, an in
crease of carbonic acid to between two
and three times tis present amount
would raise the mean temperature 15
degrees and renew the hot times of
the Eocene epoch.
