It is a scheme to get men there from this part of the country to take strikers places. They want all the men they can get to take boats and go to the Panama Canal. Men who go the other side of the Rocky Mountains cannot get back this way. You can see by your home paper GEO. H. ROLFE From Daily Piocecr of Apsil 4. CLOSED DOWN BY STRIKL. Mr. Geo. H.

There is no living creature, according to a Philadelpliia surgeon, that has a heart with so ‘much vitality as a frog, especially the species commonly known as - the water frog. It is generally known that the aquatic frog will sur: vive for months after the hind legs bave been removed. Of course he can- not hop gbout as he could before losing his principal means of transit, but his fore legs help him to erawl wherever he desires to go. When I began to learn surgery I made a special dissection of a frog one day. I laid thevarious parts of the body on a table and discovered that life was extinet within a few hours in every organ except the heart. The heart showed valvular, motion for a day after it had been severed entirely from the body. I am not aware that any other creature’s heart is possessed of such vitality. — Philadelphia- Tele- graph. Japan’s Pancake ‘tWWomen. One of the familiar sights on the streets of a Japanese town is the pan- cake woman, who, with her little bra- zler of coals and her tiny fryiug pan, is usually found ona corner not far from @ school. She has a bowl full of deli- clous batter, a ladle and a cake turner and there is apt to be a hungry crow! around her little stand as soon as school is out, for not many of the chil dren are ablé to resist the smell of ths erisp pancakes, at least if they have any money. For a small coin worth only a fraction of one of our peunies a child may fry and turn his i) cakes, and happy is the one who has number of coins in his little kimono sleeve and can fry and eat to hix heart’s content. Untll bos ul without a proper store, proper employees and the right amonnt of capital, it must bo assumed that these three conditions are essential to the conduct of profit- able trade, and it is as obvious that so long as a¢ comp:anies the business of profit advertisinz is nee essary for the upbuilding of busi- ness. The mere appearance of advertis- ing indicates that business is being done or will Le done, and so long as everybody prefers to buy of men of success ratlier than of men of failure Jjust so long will the man who adver- tises be likely to do the largest Lusi ness. The Humau Rody's Tireless Organs. Man has within him a stationary en- gine called his heart, which, with its veins and arteries, constitutes a per- fect system of hydraulics, compared with which man’s best work is clumsy, intricate and wasteful. The lungs are a working bellows, the most perfect method of sanitary ventilation. The stomach is a working vat of marvelous perfection. The brain is a wondraus condenser, und the skin is a great working evaporator, with reserve auto- matic appliances, ready for extra work in moments of need. All these are in action at all times, day and night, tire- fess, unceasing, self winding and re pairing, for nty years or more. Vanilla, It is curious to read that vanllla was employed by the Aztecs of Mexico as an ingredient in the manufacture of chocolate prior to the discovery of America by the Spaniards and that it was brought to Europe as a perfume with indigo, cochineal and cacao ten years before the arrival of tobacco on our shores. The name vauilla is de- rived from the Spanish vaina, a pod: or capsule. Dampier described it as a little pod full of small black seeds and Iike the stem of a tobacco leaf, so much so that his men when they found the dried pods at first threw them away, “wondering why the Spaniards should lay up tobacco stems.” — Chambers’ Journal. Wanshington's land. George Washington's hand was de: seribed as that of a giant. On the last occasion of General Lafayette’s visit to this country he remarked to Mr. Cus- tis when referring to a former visit, “You were holding to a single finger of the good general’s remarkable hand- the greatest feat you could perform at that time.” Washington was the cham- plon jumper of his day. In one match he covered 21 feet 3 inches, easily beat- Ing all competitors. James Lick’s Test. This is told of James Lick, the ec centric San Francisco millionaire, who founded the famous observatory bear- ing his name. When taking any oue Into his service he always asked the person to plant a tree upside down— the roots in the air, the branches un- derground. If there were any protest the man was at once sent away, Lick saying that he wanted only men who would obey orders strictly. The Tourists' Way.

Eminent Doctors Praise its Ingre ‘We refer to that boon to weak, nervous, suffering wemen known as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. Dr. John Fyfe one of the Editorial Staft of THE ECLECTIC MEDICAL REVIEW says of Unicorn root (Helonias Dioica) which is one of the chief ingredients of the “*Fa- PROFESSIONAL ..CARDS .. vorite Prescription” : “A remedy which invariably acts as a uter- ineinvigorator * * * makes for normal ac- Ity of the entire reproductive system.” continues "in Helonias we have a medica- ment which more fully answers the above purposes than any other drug with which I am ac . In the treatment of diseases pe- culiar to women it is seldom that a case is seen which does not present some indication for this remedial agent.” Dr. Fyfe further says: “The following are among the leading indications for Helonias (Unicorn root). Pain or aching in back, with leucorrhee: atonic (weal) conditions ‘of the reproductive organs of women, mental depression and ir- Tritability, associated with chronic diseases of the reproductive organs of women, constant sensation of heat in the region of the kid= neys; menorrhagia (flooding), due to a weak- ened condition of the reproductive systel amenorrheea (suppressed or absent monthly periods), lrlsinf rom or abnormal condition of the dige: and an@mic (thin blood) habi eging sensations in the extreme lower part of the abdomen.” 1If more or less of the above symptoms are present, no invalid woman can do better than take Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, one of the leading ingredi- ents of which is Unicorn root, or Helonias, and the medical properties of which it most faithfully represents. Of Golden Seal root, another prominent ingredient of “Favorite Prescription,” Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D,, of Beti- nett Medical College, Chicago, says: It is an important remedy in disorders of « the womb. In all catarrhal conditions * * # axid general enfeeblement, it is useful.” Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., late of Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root : “In relation to its general effects on the stem, there i8 no medicine in use about which thers s such oencral unanimity of opinion. It Tegarded as the all debilitated states.” - i Prof. Bartholow, M. D., of Jefferson Medical College, sa¥s of Golden Seal : “Valuable in uterine hemorrhage, menor- rhagia (flooding) and congestive dysmenor- Theea (painful menstruation).” Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription faitk- fully represents all the above named in- fents and cures the diseases for which ey are recommended.
