Greenville, Del.—** I was under the
impression that my eldest daughter had
some internal trouble
as ever since the first
time her sicknessap
peared she had to go
to bed and even had
to quit school once
for a week. I always
take Lydia E. Pina*
ham’s Vegetable
Compound myself so
I gave it to her and
she has received
great benefit from it.
You can use this let
ter lor a testimonial 11 you wisn, as i
cannot say too much about what your
medicine has done for me and for my
daughter.” —Mrs. WM. S. Hughes,
Greenville, Delaware.
Mothers and oftentimes grandmothers
have taken and have learned the value
of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound. So they recommend the medi
cine to others.
The best test of any medicine is what
it has done for others. For nearly fifty
years we have published letters from
mothers, daughters, and women, young
and old, recommending the Vegetable
Compound. They know what it did for
them and are glad to tell others. In
your own neighborhood are women who
know of its great value.

Bear Is Playful
Hold-Up Man
Bruin Most Interesting Thing in
Yellowstone Park, Says Big
Game Hunter.
BOSS OF SUMMER TOURISTS
A Geyser Is Only a Geyser, but a
Bear Is a Humorist, Says Ed
mund Heller—Big Game Is
Increasing Rapidly.
New York.—Tlie bear as a playful
bold-up man who rifles tourists’ auto
mobiles and breaks into hotels for
food is one of tbe uncertain quantities
of Yellowstone park, says Edmund
Heller, tbe big game hunter, who has
Just returned from severul months in
the park studying the Wild life of
larger animals for the Roosevelt wild
life experiment station connected with
the school of forestry at Syracuse
university.
Mr. Heller likes bears. He has spent
hours watching and photographing
them during the past summer, and
thinks they are by far the most in
teresting things in the park, more so
than the geysers and hot springs. A
geyser is only a geyser after you have
seen It a few times, says Mr. Heller,
but a bear is a source of. infinite humor
to those who study him.
Big game in the park is Increas
ing, with the exception of mountain
sheep and antelopes, he says. Much
of his report will be devoted to
methods of preventing the graceful
sheep and antelope from disappearing
altogether from the Yellowstone. It
is not their natural habitat, for in
winter, unless restricted, they would
move south into the Dakotas, he says.
As It is they stay in the park, many
freezing to death. On the other hand,
moose are Increasing rapidly, and elk
are so numerous that they can be
heard bugling all day long as they
charge across the bottoms. They num
ber at least 10,000. Mr. Heller said
he frequently saw large herds with
bulls driving their cows and trumpet
ing defiance at the world. Mule deer
are also Increasing fast, and beavers
fill the streams, he says.
Increase in Tourists.
The greatest change in the Yellow
stone Jn the last few years, however.
Is in the greatly increased number
of tourists, according to Mr. Heller.
The automobile and the war are both
largely responsible, although, oddly
enough, most of the tourists are
Westerners, to whom wild country is
no novelty. The park is filled with
camps at which automobile parties
may stop for the night under the
supervision of a ranger to see that
they do not fire the woods.
The bears are a constant source of
interest to these tourists. If cars are
left a moment a fat, black bear may
soon be found pawing the seat and up
holstery to pieces in search of food.
The bears are fairly tame, because
they are never molested, but they are
wild enough to claw the tourist who
tries to drive them off with nothing
more than temper and a stick.
"The rangers really have to protect
the bears from tourists,” saysT7 Mr.
Heller, “because the animals flock
around the hotels for food.” Occa
sionally a tourist gets tangled up with
one so badly that the bear has to be
shot. Now the bears have regular
feeding places where the Waste from
the hotels is dumped. The tourist
watches from behind a screen with
a ranger looking on with a rifle to
protect both the tourist and the bears.
“They come loping in at regular
hours, often a mother bear, bringing
her cubs. She will put the cubs up a
tree and tell them to stay there. If
they come down while she is feeding,
she runs back and cuffs them into the
tree again, just like naughty children.
Bears often go back after a meal.
climb a tree In full view of people
and go to sleep.
Bears Are Funny.
“They are funny things. They walk
like a man when they stand up. When
they are in a tree they often sit like
a man, with legs dangling on each side
of a branch and clutching the trunk
in front of them. They often break
Into hotels. Big logs will baffle them,
but any ordinary house with clapboards
or square corners which they can
get hold of they rip open with a few
pulls from their powerful paws.
“One bear followed me around for
days, trotting at my heels like a dog.
We called him ‘the kodak bear.’ He
was as tame as a kitten. They are
dangerous for persons who don’t know
how to treat them, however. There are
about 60 grizzlies in the park now,
although they are not seen so often
as the others and, of course, are more
dangerous. You should see the black
and cinnamon bears run when u grizzly
comes up to the feeding place behind
the hotel. They scatter in every direc
tion and take to the trees, for a
grizzly, although he can run like ’ a
horse, can’t climb trees.
"The deer and elk also come up to
the houses to be fed, and sometimes
deer can be fed from the hand. One
old elk Is called ‘Ash-Can Pete’ because
when he comes looking for food be
goes around tipping over all the ash
cans. He had been there for years.
Everybody knows him.”
The buffaloes, which seemed in dang
er of extermination a few years ago,
are now increasing so rapidly that
there are two large herds of them
In the park, says Mr. Heller.
PRISON LIFE IS LIKED BY THE RICH
Wealthy Men Are Model Pris
oners, Says Warden.
They Are the First to Go to Jail for
Violating the Anti-Trust Law
Are Satisfied With
Prison Fare.
Newark.—Four wealthy manufac
turers, powers in the tile, grate and
mantel Industry, the first men ever
to go to jail for violating the Sherman
anti-trust law, have been pronounced
model prisoners by Bichard McGuln
ness, warden of the Newark street
jail, where they are spending four
months.
The quartet—Frank H. Nobbe, Ar
thur Silstone, Albert Shalle and Her
man Petri, who recently pleaded guilty
to eliminating competition after their
activities had been unearthed by the
Lockwood legislative committee in
New York—apparently are quite con
tent with prison fare.
Although their funds are sufficient
to supply them dally with an outside
caterer’s products, they seldom supple
ment the prison menu with anything
but pie. AH have developed a strong
taste for this form of sweetmeat, Vtnd
if--—
the pleboy never misses them on his
dally round of the tiers.
“Occasionally,” said the warden, “we
have a particularly fine roast or fowl
down at the staff dining-room, and
we will send some of the meat up to
them. They could, of course, have
meals sent in from the outside, but
they seem satisfied with our regular
food. That I take as a compliment to
our kitchen.”
The quartet ore all housed In one
large cell in the hosoltal wing, because
one of their number Is suffering from
an illness which requires constant
medical attention. Therefore, they do
not come Into daily contact with the
other prisoners—murderers, burglars,
petty thieves.
When visitors call, however, the four
must follow prison routine and receive
their visitors In the prison center, or
general entertainment room. On such
days this center Is uncomfortably
crowded.
The four men of wealth pass the
time much as they would do In their
clubs. They have their pipes, their
newspapers and their cards. But In
stead of looking out on the avenue
through glass crystal clear, they gaze
through bars upon the historic Moms
canal, as from a feudal castle.
KIDS ARE SENTENCED TO SCHOOL
Illiterate Boys and Girls Forced
to Study.
West Palm Beach Bad Children Will
Be Sent to School of Opportunity
Instead of Jail—to Pro.
vide Clothing.
West Palm Beach, Fla.—Illiterate
DOys and girls under the age of
twenty-one who are brought into
Municipal court here In future will
be sentenced to the school of oppor
tunity Instead of jail as the result of
a movement launched by Municipal
Judge Joe L. Karmen, former news
paper publisher and editor, and backed
by the Rotary club and other civic
organizations.
The school of opportunity has been
organized along the lines of the usual
public school, with a board of three
trustees, consisting of Judge Earman,
City Manager Carl Riddle and Chief of
Police Frank Matthews.
Business men have offered to pro
vide suitable clothing for students who
otherwise might feei embarrassment
because of their attire, and Judge
Earman has taken It upon himself to
provide text-books, having placed an
order for $500 worth of readers, arith
metics, spelling and writing books,
to which subjects the course of study
will be confined.
The youngsters sentenced to the
school will become members of special
classes and will be Instructed by a
teacher employed by the city school
board. Classes will be held in the
city school building at hours which
wiii not conflict with the regular
classes of the school, the girls and
young women to attend from 3:30^0
6:30 p. m. and the boys from 0:30 to
9:30 p. m.
In order that the students may have
Individual instruction, classes will be

Thie Philosophy.
When Ibsen makes one of his char
acters exclaim of the burning of her
house, “It was the loss of the dolls •
that mattered,” he touched one of the
hard facts of life. It Is often easier
to bpar with fortitude a catastrophe
than to endure the loss of things that,
though trivial, are intimate. To sur- -
round yourself with little happinesses
Is one of the grent secrets of joyous
living, and some of the most fruitful
happinesses of all cost nothing; a
friendly word, a smile', a generous
thought, a trilling but kindly deed.—

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
__ • j,.fij■ v
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions, .The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to Dr. Kilmer A Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When
writing be sore and mention this paper.
