fered two years with female disorders.
myheaith was very
bad and I had a
continual backache
which was simply
awful. I could not
stand on my feet
longenough io cook
a meal’s victuals
without my back
nearly killing me,
and I would have
such dragging sen
sations I could
hardly bear It. I
iad soreness in each side, could not
stand tight'clottiing, and was irregular.
I was completely run down. On ad
vice I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
ta'ble Compound and Liver Pills and
am enjoying good health. It is now
more than two years and I have not
had an ache or pain since Ido all my
own work, washing and everything,
and never nave the backache any more.

praise it to all my neighbors. If you

you may publish it.”—Mrs. Ollie

Backache is a symptom of organlo
weakness or derhngemept. If you
have backache don’t neglect it. To
get permanent, relielf you must reach
the root of the trouble. Nothing we
know of'will do this so surely as Lydia

In New York a Machine Will Vend 1
Your Dinner and at Coney Is- '
land Palms Are Read
Automatically.
Kansas City, Mo.—“Two stamps,
’please,” a traveler at one of the ho- .
tels said to the mail clerk. Instead of
selling the stamps the mail clerk
pointed to a machine a few feet away. ,
“That machine will sell you stamps." ,
And the traveler dropped a nickel in- I
to a slot and out popped two 2-cent ,
postage stamps. ।
It is very simple and operated on ,
■the order of a gum slot machine. j
^There are two places In which to drop ■
Icoins. In both the amount must be a ;
15-cent piece. One receives for his
'nickel either four 1-cent stamps or a ।
pair of 2-cent stamps. i
[ In the same room of the hotel there
Is a slot machine which sells a thou
sand dollar accident insurance policy,
effective for twenty-four hours, and
the price is five cents. While some
persons doubt the wisdom of buying
this machine vending insurance, there
lis one point in its favor —one's time
lis not taken by an agent.
As soon as the nickel goes into the
machine there is the clicking of a
spring which stamps the exact time
the policy is issued. A handle is
turned and out conies the policy. The
person getting the policy must write
his name on the stub and separate it
where it says: "Tear here.” The stub
on which the name has been written
.must be poked into a slot and then
’the insurance is effective.
Automatic machines are almost as
old as civilization, but each year sees
some new machine added to the list.
The stamp and insurance vending de
vices come under the new classifica
tion, as do many others. For example
on Twenty-third street, in New York,
there is what is known as the Auto
mat, a restaurant where soup and al
most any food desired may be pur
chased by contributing certain sums
in a slot machine.
For several years there has been a
shoe shining machine where one may
have his shoes shined. There is what
is known as a mutiphone, which plays
twenty-four distinct Edison records.

Machine That Sells Stamps.
The machine has the appearance of
a grandfather clock with its big dial.
The patron desiring to hear a certain
record, moves the hand of the dial to
his favorite tune and when the nickel
sounds a bell, the music starts.
At Coney Island in New York,
palms are read automatically. The
hand is placed on a little tickler which
feels the lines and according to the
Impression depends the reading. Any
one of thirty readings is possible. An
other new automatic machine is a
picture vending contraption where
one may have his photograph taken
automatically.
There is much interest being mani
fested in Paris in an ingenious de
vice invented by Antal Fedor for reg
istering letters. A letter bearing
stamps sufficient for ordinary postage
is placed in an opening at the top of
the machine, with the address side in
contact with a plate. A handle is
turned and in a few seconds the let
ter Is registered and a receipt drops
from the tube.
Then at the drinking fountains in
many of the big cities there is a ma

drinking cups.
COW GOT HER CUDS MIXED
Sukey Was a Good Animal Until She
Went Into the Banking and
Junk Business.
Greensburg, Pa.—ls Thomas Morri
son’s pet cow hadn’t neglected the
dairy business for the banking and
junk business she would still be in
the land of the living somewhere in
this vicinity.
It was a find of 17 cents that start
ed her on her downward career—
three nickels and two pennies which
a barn boy had placed in a line on the
top of a fence to gloat over, and then
forgot in the face of some greater ex
citement. Sukey nosed around and
swallowed the coins. Her taste for
metal thus whetted she proceeded to
swallow a number of wire nails, pull
ing them out of the fence, and wound
up her repast by taking into her sys
tem five feet of steel wire. It was the
wire that tangled her up. It insisted
in sojourning in all three stomachs
it once. Sukey found her wires were
:rossed when she tried to chew her
cud, so she died. An autopsy was held
and the concrete evidences of the
facts here related was found in her
little “tummy”—in all three of them,

TWO FAMOUS MISSOURIANS
Mrs. Nancy Harsh and Dr.^-afayetU
Said to Be Oldest Residents
In the State.
Hopkins, Mo. —The photographs
herewith are of Mrs. Nancy Harsh
and Doctor Lafayette, the oldest resi
dents of this place, and without a
doubt the oldest residents in the state
of Missouri, Mrs. Harsh being nearly
one hundred and one years old and
Doctor Lafayette nearly ninety-two
years old.
Mrs. Nancy Harsh was born June
15, 1810, at Washington, Pa., and is
a very remarkable old lady. Mrs.
Harsh Is at present as bright as any
young person, being interested in all
the leading topics of the day and a
great reader. She is very active for
one of her age and attends church
occasionally, being able to walk the
distance from her home to the place ;
of worship. She once refused a kiss
from the Marquis de Lafayette. He
was making a tour of the United
States and came to her town in the
year 1824. She was chosen as one of
the 12 girls to scatter roses as he en
tered the village. He approached the
maidens and in his courtly French
manner kissed one after another un-

til he came to Miss Nancy, who mod
estly refused to allow the familiarity,
as she considered it.
Dr. Lafayette, also a resident of
Hopkins, was born at Lyons, France,
in 1819. In 1850 he came to the Unit
ed States and' when the war of the
Rebellion broke out he enlisted, being
a regimental surgeon with the rank
of captain, and served with great
honor to his adopted country. He is
a very active old gentleman and does
his own work with the ease of a per
son much younger. He may be seen
outside his home almost any day
chopping wcod and doing other chores
and making trips to and from town.
In the summer he may be seen mow
ing the yard or working among his
flowers and orchard. He is a great
lover of nature.
ELK THAT CLEAR THICKETS
Arkansas Herd Found to Be More
Valuable Than Goats, As They
Browse Higher.
Eureka Springs, Ark.—Attempts to
preserve the elk from extinction
through domestication has been un
dertaken by private ownership of
small herds in several different places
in the United States. Mr. George W.
Ross, who recently had a herd o!
thirty-four, has found them valuable
in clearing out thickets. In this work
they are better than goats, since they
browse higher. The two animals get
along well together and in the style
of the Jack Spratt family the work
is well done. Mr. Ross says:
“We find from long experience that
cattle, sheep and goats can be grazed
in the same lot with elk, provided
the lots or inclosures are not small.
The larger the area the better. W<

know of no more appropriate place to
call attention to the great benefits of
a few elk in the same pasture with
sheep and goats.
“An elk is the natural enemy of
dogs and wolves. We suffered great
losses to our flocks until we learned
this fact; since then we have had no
loss from that cause. A few elk in
a 1,000-acre pasture will absolutely
protect the flock therein. Our own
dogs are so well aware of the danger
in our elk park that they cannot be
induced to enter it. The does always
lead in the chase of dogs that get in
to the park. Outside of fenced pas
tures, however, elk do not always
show themselves hostile to dogs or
coyotes.”
Mule and Rat Devour Pay Checks.
Shamokin, Ba.—Wallace Derk’s pay
check dropped into a feed bag in the
Bear Valley colliery and the precious
paper was swallowed by a mule. A rat
gnawed the check belonging to
David Jeremali. The men proved
their losses and were reimbursed.
Hats and Coiffures

IT IS to be the small hats for early
spring, made of exquisite, lustrous,
light braids, that is light in weight.
And these little hats are soft, many of
them made without a wire frame, so
that they sit caressingly upon the hair
and conform themselves to the shape
of the head. And a few people have
jumped to the conclusion that be
cause hats are small, the matter of
dressing the hair will sink into one of
the unimportant and negligible details
of the toilette. Such a conclusion is
not reached by a course of reasoning.
If you have absorbed it, 4 I pray you.
gentle lady, to unthink your speaking,
and to say so no more.” The smal
hat, even more than the large one
demands a well dressed coiffure; for
the coiffure is the visible means of
support of the little hat. Hair, in
pretty curls or fluffy waves, simply
must peep out from under the edges
of the hat and frame the face and
neck, otherwise the wearer will look
as if she were bald.
These small hats worn over a coif
fure from which a few stray puffs
and bobbing curls contrive to stray out,
and covered with a fine floating veil of
lace, are simply entrancing. These
veils come in a variety of fancy
weaves. Nothing is prettier than a
NIGHTDRESS IN ONE PIECE
Pattern Simple In Construction and
Garment Most Comfortable to
Wear.
Anyone who wants to make a night
dress with little trouble should use
this pattern, as it is very simple in
construction and comfortable to wear;
the sleeves are cut in with the body
part, an opening being made down the
left side; the neck is cut square and
trimmed with two rows of insertion mi-

tered at the corners, but the pattern
is cut quite up to the neck, so that
one row of trimming only need be
used.
The sleeves are gathered into inser
tion-trimmed bands, and are finished
with lace.
Materials required: Four yards 3G
inches wide.
Two Little Hints.
Do not throw away boot polish
when it has become hard through the
lid being left off, but place It on top
of a warm oven until it softens. I
have tried it and found it worth the
trouble.
To open a tin of black lead, pull
away the paper and put it In front of
the fire —on the fender will do. It
will open quite readily and better
than knocking the tin with a knife.
Care of Silk Gloves.
In trying on silk gloves cover the
hands well with talcum and you will
not tear the gloves. If a seam rips,
do not whip it over and over. Turn
the glove, catch one side of the torn
part and then the opposite, going
back and forth, and the work will not
rip out. Do not knot the thread.
Mend a "run" in a similar manner.
Brussels net with a little dot or fig
ure over the surface and a lace pat
tern in the border.
Two gbod models in small hats
are shown here. In Fig. 1 the round,
cap-like turban is made of silk braid
in bright champagne color, the brim
and crown are both made of the braid,
sewed and afterward draped on the
fine light frame. These hats are not
for the amateur millinery, because
they require a knowledge of the art
of draping. The rosette and petal is
made of brown velvet and gold cord.
It is a beautiful color combination,
and suited to almost any color in the
costume.
The second hat Is of an elegant braid
in black and white. It is trimmed with
a double collar of velvet and kid, and
finished with velvet covered buttons.
It is a cool and crisp combina
tion of black and white which we can
never hope to excel In elegance.
Imagine these hats on a head with
the hair drawn back and not appear
ing about the face and neck! The
pretty face and the pretty hats would
both be spoiled. The importance of
' the coiffure with the small hat in
। creases. They are both well worth
while.

: WILL PLEASE THE INVALID
I Pretty and Useful Trifles That Will
Lighten the Tedium of the
Sick Room.
Among the appropriate things for
> the invalid are flower holders. These
i can be fastened to the foot of the I
bed, and are large enough to hold
■ three or four carnations or roses,
> generally all that are to be allowed in
I the sick room. Another acceptable
- gift is a dainty piece of china —a
flower bordered plate, a gruel bowl of
eggshell thinness, or a fragile cup and
saucer of delicate design. Never mind I
if these things are likely to break with
their first tumble; because of their j
beauty, they will give enough pleas
ure, perhaps real benefit, to make
their possible short existence well
worth while. A lightweight leather
writing case, provided with a screw- I
top bottle of ink, compartments for |
paper, envelopes, stamps, and pen and !
pencil, gives the invalid who is
strong enough to write a certain feel
ing of independence. Some of these
cases have keys which add to their
usefulness. A pint or half pint
vacuum bottle, for keeping liquids
warm or cold, is another comfort-giv
ing gift for the invalid and a time- ;
saving gift for the nurse or caretaker.
SCARF OF SHETLAND WOOL
■ One of the Prettiest and Most Com
fortable of the Season's
Head Coverings.
Something more than a coat is re
quired by the girl going forth in the 1
evening to some gala function or
other. She needs a head muffling, a
. throat protector of some sort, and is
very well protected if she has velvet
' or silk overboots and long wool mit
■ tens for the thin gloves. These things
’ make her comfortable, and If they are
selected they need not be clumsy or
’ unbecoming.
One of the cheapest and most re
, warding head mufflings of the season
' is a Shetland wool scarf or auto veil,
for these pretty things can be worn
over the face. These filmy scarfs
come in all colors and pure white, as
well as in white with gay Scotch bor
ders. For a dark girl who is going to
have a bit of vivid color in her party
get-up the Scotch-border scarfs are
superb. They have a look of Mex
ican splendor and cost exactly one
dollar and ten cents each!
Novelties.
Nets are gaining in favor as a foun-
I datton for chiffon corsages, producing
' a much softer effect than silk.
Large velvet bags with the personal I
; touch of an embroidered monogram
in one corner are much Zxvored.
Among scarfs the newest material
is fine silk tricot, like glove silk,
These come in all the fashionable
shades.
Many of the sleeves in the new
evening gowns are slashed, with any
other material appearing underneath.

The duchess was once taking part in

mother:
"Is she a real duchess?”
“Yes, my dear,” the mother, a

CHILDREN AFFECTED
By Mother's Food and Drink.
Many babies have bqjn launched
into life with constitutions weakened
! by disease taken in with their moth
ers’ milk. Mothers cannot be too care
ful as to the food they use while nurs
ing their babes. j
The experience of a Kansas City
mother is a case in point:
“I was a great coffee drinker from a
child, and thought I could not do with
out it But I found at last it was do
ing me harm. For years I had been
troubled with dizziaess, spots before
my eyes and pain in my heart, to
khich was added, two years later, a
chronic spur stomach.
“The baby was bom 7 months ago,
and almost from the beginning, It, too,
Buffered from sour stomach. She was
taking it from me!
"In my distress I consulted a friend
of more experience and she told me
to quit coffee, that ceffee did not
make good milk. I have since ascer
tained that ft really dries up the ^jllk.
"So. I quit coffee and tried tea and
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then I turned to Postum
with the happiest results. It proved
to be the very thing I needed. It not
only agreed perfectly with baby and
mybelf, but it increased the flow of
my milk.
“My husband then quit coffee and
used Postum and quickly get well of
the dyspepsia with which he had been
troubled. Ino longer suffer from the
dizziness, blind spells, pain in my
heart or sour stomach.
“Now we all drink Postum from my
husband to my seven months’ old
baby. It has proved to be the best
hot drink we have ever used. We
would not give up Postum for the best
coffee we ever drank.” Name given
