Hopeless Md Helpless.
tion of the stomach and digestive and
nutritive system are most dlsastrous to
the whole body. One by one every
organ may become involved. The mis-
ery is maddening. The most extreme
cases of "stomach trouble" and the evils
resulting from it have been cured by Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It
strengthens the stomach purifies the
blood and builds up the body with sound
healthy flesh.
"I was taken with severe headache.” writes
Thomas A Swarts Box 103. Substation C Co-
lumbus Ohio then cramps in the stomach and
my food would not digest then kidney and liver
trouble and my back got weak so I could
scarcely get around. I just gave money to the
doctors whenever I thought they would do me
any good but the mqre I doctored the worse I
got until six years passed. I had become s'
poorly I could only walk in the bouse by the aid
of chair and I got so thio I had given of to die
thinking that I could not ba cured Then I saw
one of my neighbor boys and he said. "Take my
advice and take Dr Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery and make a new man out of yoursetf."
The first bottle helped me so I thought I would
get another and after I had taken eight bottles
in about six weeks I was weighed and found I
had gained twenty-seven (>7) pounds. I have
done more hard work in the part eleven months
than I did in two years before and I am as stout
and healthy to-day I think as I ever was."

graduation I learned that the stu-

UN(*LE SAM’S BLIND READERS
The Attractions and Xumerons Ad.
Ttntagrt to lie Obtained In the
Pavilion of the Blind.
On the ground floor of the northwest
corner of the Congressional library at
Washingtonis the pavilion of the blind
which is the first reading-room of its
kind ever established in any public li-
brary. In Woman's home Companion
Abby G. Baker describes the beneficent
department saying:
“After the establishment of the read-
ing-room other attractions were added.
Every afternoon from October until
June readings interspersed once a
week with musicals are given there
from half-past two until half-past
three o’clock. This has proven to be
a most happy thought and many of
the most distinguished people of the
country who live in Washington or
chance to be there have given a little
of their time in this manner to bright-
en the lives of the sightless hearers.
This was the beginning but the rec-
ord which is kept of the readings con-
tains many notable names. The blind
chaplain of the house frequently gives
an afternoon to the entertainment of
his companions in darkness and they
always enjoy him. He has a softly
modulated sweet voice and he often
repeats poetry of a religious tone to
them.
“The musicals occur every Wednes-
day and while many of the professional
musicianshave taken part in them they
are usually conducted by the blind
themselves. The love of music and the
gift of producing it seems to be one
of the compensating providences for
the sightless. A handsome grand pi-
ano has been donated for the benefit
of the sightless. Several of the ‘butter-
flies of society’ have learned the tedi-
ous system of writing in New York
Point and Braille and have volun-
teered to copy in it the leading maga-
zine stories and articles and place
them on the reading tables of the pa-
vilion. where all of the sightless vis-
itors may have the pleasure of reading
them. In this manner one earnest-
purposed young woman w’rites a half-
dozen articles every month and binds
them in a little volume which she calls
‘The Meteor;’ but the result is more
than meteoric in the benefit it is to
its eager readers. Another young girl
gives an hour twice each week reading
music to the pianist and it is aston-
ishing the number of pieces the latter
commits in this way.”
Its Gre«te*t Charm.
“Well sir. I never knew what a bless-
ing the telephone was till I had one
put in my house."
“Yes it's a great thing to save time
and trouble. Instead of having to go
to the market to do her ordering your
wife can step to the 'phone read off
the list of things she wants delivered
and there's nothing more to do. And
then in a hundred other ways it’s a
great thing. Supposing business de-
tains you downtown at night or you
wish to have a friend go out home with
you. There's where you find the tele-
phone handy again. I don’t know of
anything hardly that we could not
spare with less annoyance than the tel-
ephone."
“But the greatest advantage I find
in it is that my wife talks so much by
means of it dnring the da.v that she'is
exhausted when I get home at night.”

IN FORBIDDEN WATERS.
This “Nigger” Was Caught Fishing
and Captain Bechtel Made the
Capture.
Captain S. G. Bechtel special officer
at Brackenridge park arrested a ne-
gro yesterday for fishing on the prem-
ises. He brought his prisoner to the
city in an Alamo Heights car and took
him to the city hall by way of Alamo
plaza and Commerce street The pris-
oner offered no resistance and it
would undoubtedly have been a bad
break g he had for the officer was
armed with a pair\>f trusty revolvers
that were exposed to plain view as he
marched in his shirt-sleeves with his
man through Commerce street at high
noon.
Captain Bechtel has never given out
any record that he has made as a
sharpshooter bqt it /vas evident that
the prisoner took in the situation at a
glance and decided not to run any
chances in attempting an escape but
to obey orders and go to jail rather
than test the captain’s marksmanship.

I’E t'ROLEUM
Industry in Japan is Making very Rapid
Progress. •
Vico Consul General McLean station-
ed at Yokohama. Japan has sent to
the state department a clipping from
the Japan Times which says:
“There are nt present over 30 petro-
leum companies in the oil district in
Echlgc Son ecf these possess a cap-
ital >' ever 1 oou.ollo yoo 1 $ las 1. the
aggregate capital amounting to 12000-
JOO yen (85966 000).
“In consequence of the Increasing ac-
tivity of the industry the inadequacy
cf banking facilities is now being felt
by the merchants in the locality and by
those having budness connections with
the place. With the object of afford-
ing better facilities in this direction
the Fl-si and Yasuda banks in Tokyo
and t’o Sumitomo bank in Osaka
have under consideration the establish-
ment of branches either in Nagaoka or
Kashiwazaki.
“The proposed scheme to construct
a pipe line from the seat of the petro-
leum wells in Echigo to Tokyo for the
rapid and convenient transportation
of kerosene is now assumlnga practi-
cal shape. The promoters of the en-
terprise have decided to intrust the
Nakai engineering office with the busi-
ness cf making a prelindnary survey
for the projected work. Mr. Miyagi
graduate of the Engineering college of
the Tokyo Imperial University will act
as adv*sory engineer in the survey
which it to be begun at no distant
date.”
ST'MULANTS
May be Avoided by Keeping in Gen-
eral Cood Health.
London Lancet.
That the blood normally contains
i that these stimulants ex-
ercise a favoring Influence on function
and conduce tn and may even be a nec-
essary factor in the production of the
feeling cf well being explains the wide-
spread liking in man and beast for
stimulating substances. This liking
amounting often to craving is the ex-
pressicn of a great physiological
principle. When there is perfect
health when the blood is well provid-
ed with its ptoper stimulants and not
overcharged w'»h depressants there Is
no craving fo.’ extraneous stimulants
as alcohol tea or coffee. But when it is
defec.ive with one and surcharged
with the other fhen is left the desire
for the glass of wine or the cup of tea.
In order to obviate this desire we
should seek 6> keep the body at the
highest level cf health. The more
perfect the health the more perfect
will be the composition of the blood
both in respect to physiological stimu-
lants and deleterious toxins. A blood
properly constituted in these and other
respe-ts will exerciseagentlestimulant
action on the nervous system and in-
duce u condition of mild physiological
intoxication which expresses itself in
a feelirg of well being and happiness

LOG CABINS
Built in New York to be Set Up In
the Woods.
Theie is a place in New York City
in which log cabins are manufactured
along “.’ith other rustic work such as
chairs settees fences tables bird-
houses and bird-cages window boxes
ond bridges. Quite a trade is carried
on with the log cabins as they are pur-
chased in great numbers by people who
set them up in the woods and moun-
tains during "outings.” The cabins
are made of cedar and constructed in
many styles and sizes and are all good
copies of the typical cabin built and oc-
cupied by pioneers of this country a
centurv or more ago. The size most
called for is 12 by 12 feet and this
kind (s kept in stock. All other sizes
are maue to order. Hunters and fish-
ermen are the principal buyers of these
cabins and wnen the season is over the
cabins are knocked apart and laid
away securely until required again the
season following. In shipping these
temporary habitations they are knock-
ed down that is taken apart but as
full instructions go with each put chase
as to how to put them together the pur-
chaser has no difficulty in getting them
into shape for occupancy. These cabins
cost according to size and range in
price from $l5O to $5OO each.
The firm referred to as makers and
dealers in log cabins are also manu-
facturers of rustic bridges. Country
places almost invariably have streams
cf natural water running through them
and these bridges are not only for use
but make a very pretty ornament to
the place. Then again artificial
lakes end waterways are often made
and the rustic bridge can be utilized
in that way.
They are kept in stock up to 30 feet
in length and larger ones are built to
order.

in bathing has ever been a stumbling
block for it is a sadly true fact that
salt water does not do the tresses a
great amount of good and the rubber
caps are so nldeous and generally in-
sufficient. When beauty goes down to
the sea this summer she will sally
forth to have a merry time first and
trust to luck to keep her hair from fall-
ing. She will wear her tresses when
she appears in »he glory of her bathing
suit in two plaits crossed at the back
and drawn quaintly about her brow
the ends tied tied together with a bit
of ribbon or else drawn up high and
then plaited colling the plait into a
little royal crown as does the Em-
-1 ress of Germany. If -he wets the
hair while in the water she will wash
it out as soon ns she is back in her
own rocm once using as a shampoo the
yellow of an egg once every ten days.

NECCESSITY NOT LUXURY
should compel you to place a bottle
of my whiskey in your trunk before
leaving town as the chances are that
you cannot procure a good article
where you are going and very much
depends upon having it at hand when
wanted. My whiskies are the
in the world and are gua r anteed pure.
