Detroit, Mich. "I am glad to dis

Another Case.
Philadelphia, Pa. "Lydia E. rink
hom's Vegetable Compound is all you
claim it to be. About two or three
flays before my periods I would get bad
backaches, then pains in right and left
ides, and my head would ache. I called
the doctor and he said I had organic in
flammation. I went to him for a while but
did not get well so I took Lydia KPink
ham's Vegetable Compound. After tak
ing two bottles I was relieved and finally
my troubles left me. I married and
have two little girls. I have had no re

Postoffice Tower Loses Its Light Mystery
WVSHINQTON. The light In the
tower of the Postoffice Department
building In Washington no longer
noldsout to burn. It Is not to be sup
posed that President Wilson and bis
postmaster general, Mr. Burleson, pre
fer darkness to light but why the
glim was doused" is Just as much of
a mystery to the people of this town
as Is the reason for its lighting when
Mr. Taft was president and Mr. Hitch
cock was postmaster general.
There Is a huge open space above
the clock In the postoffice tower. It
Is a chamber with nothing for walls but
four corner pillars, which support the
higher reaches of the pinnacle. One
aight during the Taft administration,
and without any preliminary notice, a
glaring, dazzling white light shot out
over the avenue from the darkness of
the tower room.
That light burned nightly all during
the Incumbency of Mr. Hitchcock and
for some time after Mr. Burleeon took
command. 'Then It suddenly was ex
tinguished, a night landmark disap
peared and people who have asked
why have been met with a mysterious
look Just like that with which they
were answered when they asked
"why" during the days succeeding the
first appearance of the glare.
It Is true that Mr. Hitchcock once in
answer to a query as to the whys and
wherefores of this dazzling Illumina
tion said. "Ask Mr. Weed." Mr. Weed
was then the chief clerk of the post
office department He In turn was
asked the wherefore of the light nd
he said. "Ask Mr. Hitchcock."
The appearance of the light and its
disappearance are dark mysteries.
Some one said that the blaze was orig
inally kindled to frighten from their
nightly roosting place a pair of falcons
which preyed on the domestic pigeons
of the capital. The falcons, however,
were seen after the light had burned
for some time.

DUELING practice with regulation
.44-caliber revolvers and wax bul
lets will be a feature of the Instruc
tion at the Washington Fencers' club,
which will open Its new home In Con
necticut avenue northwest In the
near future. The duelists will face
each other In the salle d'armes 60 feet
apart They will be protected with
wire masks and body guards. The
hand gripping the revolver will be
guarded by a metal shield, which Is ad
justable to any style of weapon.
M. Francois Darrleulat, maltre
d'armes of the club, has sent to Paris
for the dueling outfits, and expects to
have them ready before the opening of
the season. The shells for the mock
duels are loaded with sufficient pow
der to propel the wax projectile In a
straight line tor 60 feet with suffi
cient force to make It stick to the
mask or clothing or the "victim" of
the attack.
"The wax bullet will shoot as true
as a lead bullet, yet will not Injure the
participants," said M. Darrleulat
"The head will be guarded by a
strong saber mask. This practice will
be excellent for army officers and oth
ers who wish to learn to shoot accu
rately. The novelty of having another
person for a target and being a tar
get at the same time ought to appeal
to persons In Washington as It has ap
pealed to revolver shots In Paris.
The salle d'armes Is 80 feet long,
giving plenty of space for the "duels
The ball Is 25 feet wide. At the rear
Is a dress. ng room, 20 by 25 feet The
wall Is light bronze green, and the
celling and woodwork is cream color
ed. Large windows at the front of the
hall and several skylights afford
plenty of light for fencers and revol
ver shots.
The reorganization of the club has
caused considerable Interest In Wash'
lngton society. The first fencing club
was started about 17 years ago by Gor
don Strong. Count Arthur Casstni,
Russian ambassador and a number
o. persons from diplomatic and society
life participated In the bouts.

Onion Lovers Shudder at Deadly Devastatrix
LOVERS of beefsteak and onions
were startled the other dav when
the department at agriculture an
nounced mat the tylencnus devastatrix
had invaded the United States and the
future of the onion Industry was in
jeopardy.
The Invader with the imposing name
Is known aleo as the onion eelworm.
Hitherto it has confined Its operations
to Europe, Africa and Australia, where
It has wreaked havoc, but now It has
made Its appearance In this country.
The government experts, in warning
the growers of onions, did not mini
mlze the gravity of the appearance
here of the eelworm. It seems imper
vious to chemical remedies that have
been tried for its eradication and the
eggs of the insect, the experts declare.
will survive two years of complete
dryness.
"The worms are seldom over one-
twentieth of an Inch long," says the
department experts, "and are very
slender and transparent, so that their
presence la not generally detected by
the naked eye, and the grower, there
fore, often remains in Ignorance of his
losses.''
The pest attacks all floral and veg
etable bulbs and is regarded as highly
dangerous. In view of this the depart
ment urges that all infected plants be
sent to It for microscopical examina
tion.
Shrieks of Locomotive Whistle Startle' the Capita
PALL of terror bung over the
city's tupernervous for more than
a half hour the other night, when the
prolonged weird shriek of a siren whis
tle, such as ordinarily goes up as an
announcement of distress and trag
edy, sent Its distinctive and fright
ening tdnes to every corner of the
District
"A wreck on the railroad." "A
steamer sinking on '.he river," de
clared the more alarmed, and scarce
ly had they uttered the words when
the minds of the Imaginative began
working and telling those near by
'bat, "Yes, ten carloads full of peo
ple, smashed to smithereens outside
the Union station." In another quar
ter it was a "whole steamboat full of
people sinking to their deaths In the
river another Titanlo tragedy right
it the ctiy's gates.
And still the whistle shrieked. It
was 8:10 o'clock, and the weird notes
if distress bad been coming to the
:lty for nearly a half hour.
"Oh! can't somebody save themT"
tJniost cried a woman M sty) took a
taxlcab In front of the Willard for
the "scene of the tragedy."
"No. It's not a wreck," decidedly an
swered an Individual on the other eutf
of the telephone, after the territory in
which the whistle was sending out
"distress signals" had been located.
"Please don't bother me," continued
the voice, exhibiting tones of anger.
"About a million people have asked
me the same fool question."
Further Inquiry elicited that a whis
tle on one of the., locomotives In
railroad yard on New Jersey avenue
had broken, and couldn't be stopped
from shrieking until It had mad iu
run to the station.

Perfect Lady
One of the papers is running a con
test about "What is a perfect gen
tleman T" There is a variety of opin
ions as to that; but do you know what
a perfect lady is? A meat dealer in
the east end gave a definition the
other day which has been sent us by
a correspondent. Our friend's wife
was doing her marketing, and In

hers who traded at the same shop.
'Well, she's a perfect lady," said
the butcher. "She don't know one
cut of meat from another." Cleveland

physic simply don't realize what they

of mothers keep this harmless "fruit

love to take it; that it never falls to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet

given today saves a sick child tomor
