WASN'T WORTH THE LIVING Was Mrs. Bowling's Concept;on of Life at One Time--Thinks Differently Now. Loveland, Ky.-"When I first wrote you. I was feeling so miserable, that life wasn't worth living." So writes, in a recent letter, Mrs. Anna Bowling, of this place. ,"I was in bad shape, my left side hurt uo, at times, I could hardly bear it, andt I could not lie on that side at nig.,t, at all. I also had another serious symptom of womanly trouble. I finally decided to give Cardul, the woman's tonic, a trial, so I purchased a bottle, and by the time I had taken it, I felt better in every way, so I got another bottle, and it straightened me out entirely. I feel as well now as I ever did in mny life, and I can be safe in sa3 ing that ('ardut is the best medicine on earth for women. I had little faith in it before I commenced taking it, but now I would not exchange it for all the other medicines." Are you one of those poor women sufferers, who feel that lifts is hardly worth the living? Hlave you that ever lastingly tired, nervous. wt-rni ott, headachy feeling? If so, get a bot tle of Cardui and begin taking it to day. No doubt it is the very muedi cine you need. N. R.--lri'fe to. Chattanooga Mediqine Co., uadies' Advisory Dept.. Chattanooga.

Edwin Lowe, sorn of Edwin Lowe of McDaniel, Talbot county, Md., exhib ited yesterday a young chicken hawk that he and his father had captured after it had been trapped by a com mon land terrapin. Mr. Lowe and his son were walking in tee road near McDaniel Tuesday morning when they saw the hawk hop ping along in the road with something hanging to it. Thinking the bird had been wound ed, they approached it with a view of putting it out of misery, when they saw what was hampering its move ments. The hawk had evidently tried to capture the terrapin, but was cap tured itself, for one toe of the bird was held tightly in the terrapin's shell. Both hawk and terrapin were picked up and taken to Mr. Lowe's home, and it was several hours before the terra pin released its grip.-New York Sun. Cleanse the Wounds.

Thro uch the invitation of l)r. Tho don, Lyman of Ilarvard university. the institutioln was enabled to co opierate with the Musteurn of ('ompar alive Zoology in an expedition to the Altai mountains of Siberia and Mon golia. George Mixter, another collaborator of the museum, also visited Siberia, where he secured certain mammals from the region about Lake Btaikal, among them bear and seal. Of particular inte -' was a trip made by D)r. Ales . :la to Siberia and Mongolia, to study the physical anthropology of the natives. His par ticular object was a search for data concerning the race which is supposed to have peopled America. He draws the conclusion that there exist in sev eral places in Siberia, Mongolia and Tibet numerous remains of an ancient population, which was physically identical with and in' all probability gave rise to the American Indian. The hunting trip carried on by Paul J. Rainey in British East Africa, in which the institution was repr4sented by Edmund Heller, was terminated in December, 1911, and since then the collection has been received at the National museum. Altogether the trip was a remarkably successful one; nearly 4,)000 mammals, 1,000 reptiles, and 400 birds were obtained. The astrophysicial observatory of the Smithsonian Institution again sent an expedition to Hassour, Algeria, for the continuation of the observayons relative to the heat of the sun, an in vestigation on which the observatory has been working for the past seven years, with observing stations on Mount Wilson, Cal., and during two seasons in Algeria. Mr. Abbot, the director of the observatory, states that the observations of the last year prove conclusively the supposed varia bility of the solar rays. SPONGES FOR FERTILIZING. The department of agriculture, through its bureau of soils, has re cently completed analysis of the Log gerhead sponge, which grows abund antly in the waters of Southern Flori da, to determine its value as a fertil iser. This sponge, according to Mr. Thomas E. Reedy of Key West, grows in countless thousands and to an enormous size in shallow water, where It is easy to procure. Mr. Reedy also states that the farmers of the Florida keys use the Loggerhead sponge with wondestaful results and hardly ever use chemical fertilizers. Dr. H. F. Moore of the United States bureau o fish eries cites the use of this sponge by citrus fruit growers of the Florida mainland and states that he hs seen this sponge growing in such quanti ties that he has long thought it should be exploited. A specialist of the department re cently made analyses of samples from Key West which verity the value of this sponge as a fertilizer. The analyses show that the approxi mate results on air dry material show four per cent. of nitrogen, three-quar ters of one per cent each of potash and phosphoric acid, five per cent of lime and 40 per cent. of organic mat ter. The specialists say that it is evident from the composition of this material and its demonstrated effi ciency as a fertilizer that it has con siderable value to farmers and fruit growers who have easy access to it in the shallows of the sea. The de partment is conducting fuarther inves tigations to determine the feasibility of extending the use of this sponge as a fertilizer. SEEKING INFORMATION. While strange letters are not a rarity in government departments, the srecretary of agriculture recently re ceived a letter which breaks all rec ords for inquiry having to do with drugs and medicine. This letter. which is printed below, omitting the name and address of the writer, gives an insight into a certain type of per sonse who think they can use all sorts of drugs and poisons in making patent medicine. An exact copy of the let ter follows: MIxed Metaphors. i "Jones has certainly a bad way of mixing up things in his talk." "What's the matter now?"

It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotio and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end.
