AFTER 7 YEARS SUFERINI I Was Cured by Lydia 1. Pink. ham's Vegetable Compound Waurika, Okla.-"I had female trou, bles for seven ars, was all run down Sand ao nervous I could not do any thing. The doctors treated me for dif, ferent things but did me no good. I got so bad that I could not sleep day or nig y hia this condition I read of Lydia E. Pink. ham's Vegetable Compound, and began Its use and wrote to Mrs. Pin ham for advice. In -, short time I had gained my average wel ht and am now strong and well." -Mrs. SALLIE STEVENs, R. F. D., No. 8, 73ox 81, Waurika, Okia. Another Grateful Woman. Huntington, Mass.-" I was In a ner. vous, run down condition and for three years could find no help. "I owe my present-good health to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com found and Blood Purifier which I bo. eve saved my life. "My doctor knows what helped me and does not say one word against It." --Mrs. MAn= JANETTE BATEs, BOX 134, Huntington, Mass. Because your case is a difficult one, doctors having done you no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com. pound a trial. It surely has cured many cases of female ills, such as in flammation, ulceration, displacements, t fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic ains, backache, that bearing-down elng, and nervous prostration.

Full of indignation against such par ents as dolight to produce their young ones early into the talking world, Sam uel Johnson gave a good deal of pain,, by refusing to hear the verses the cii dren could recite, or the songs they could sing. One friend told him that his two sons should rep~eat Gray's I Elegy to him alternately, that he might judge who had the happiest ca dence. "No, pray, sir-," said he, "let the dears both speak at once." Labrador's Future. According to statements made the: ather (lay by Dr. Grenfall of Labrador, the Cinderella of British possessions, has a br-illiant future before it. Dr. Grenfall, who has lived 20 years in that snowy country, says that in days to come it will carry a popula tion as easily as Norway does today. It is, he says a better country than [celand, and to be greatly preferred to Lapland, Finland, Siberia and Northern Alaska. It's a waste of the other fellow's time when you talk foolish. Makes a Good Breakfast Better To have some Post Toasties with cream or milk. For a pleasing change, sprinkle Post Toasties over fresh or stewed fruit, + then add cream and you have a small feast. "The Memory Lingers" PoSTUM CRIREAL CO., Ltd., Batle Creek, Mich. 44 NE evening in the early summer of 1901 I stood, awed but keenly ex pectant, on the balcony of the Eth nology Building at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo. By my side was a short, chubby man in an old suit of clothes, a negligee shirt and a string tic that had come undone Sand was flopping over his capacious Ychiest. It was a warm evening, and hie had removed Is battered straw hat, which he held in his hand. The ize of the hat wa's No. 8. The mian was Thomas L. Edison. Before us spread that dream in frozen music, ho buildings fronting the esplanade, mall and claza of the twilight was done, nd the moment had arrived for the night birth if that dreamxinto splendor. For the first thao n history architecture was to be made alive at tight, more living than by day. Half a million neandescent bulbs were lid along the transverso Ines of the buildings. The current was turned n and they shieltaneouly bloomed. Esued ta pectacle for which Caesar would have bar red a province-a joy that brought a gasp of estacy fromn every on te einmillions aho aw It. Edison, bare-headed, squinted I s eyes. The iotry missed hin. The gallop of scentie history over the verge of a new era missed him. The nory of the spectacle Itself missed him. Instead, e glanced shrewdly and carefully all around on hie entrancing wonder, then cautiously Into his attered straw hat and said: "I could put every filament Into that hat!" Economics, mechanics-these obsessed him. pat brain, which required a No. 8 hat for cover ng, could think only of the compressed fact hat all the space occupied by the vibrating, en rgezig and glory-working source of that gigant e pectacle could be replaced by about two pints f water-or a quart of human brain.

In the United States you will have to hunt a towvn of less than 2,000 inhabitants if you wish to escape the moving pictures. Five millions of Americans daily visit these shows. The exhibitors pay $1.%000,000 a year for their films. The public pays $57,500,000 a year to see themi. Mir. Edison has an - verage weekly rey&ety therefrom of $8,000. So it is a pretty big- business, pretty thor oughly organized, quite t'niversal in its reach, soap-bubbly in its univers~ulity. The child of the p~oor, with a clay pipe and the suds from the weekly wash, can have just as good a time as any rich young fellow with an im ported meerschaum and the best castile. So it is with the moving-picture shows. It re quires little capital to run them. A long room. easily darkened, a nine-feet square patch of white cloth, some benches for the spectators, an oper ator at ten dollars a week, and a rented film, now takes the place of a company of actors, stage scenery, properties, lights and a properly equip~ped building. And the poor boy gets as much value for his nickel as the rich boy can get for any number of dollar-s. Yet, they imu into dangers that no soap-bubbles can allure. Fire Is of these the most patent. Of the meoral danger-s we will speak later. It is through the moral soap)-bubbie that we can see more clear-ly the moving picturo's gossamer tinsel. Fire, however, Is the fir-st and most vital dan ger., The Charity-flazaar- fire in Paris, in wvhich so many women werec tranmpledi to death by cow ardly men, w~as caused by the fall of a spark upon01 sonme cellulioidi mov'ing-picturo films which hadI been dr-opped into a basket. In Canton 600 men, Chinamen, wer-e bur1ned to death in a fire in a moving-pictur-e show~ house. In Quito, Ecua dor, fifty men and women lost their lives in a simihir- calamity.

A Par1iit~n manufacturer offered $200.000 for the right to mlako moving pictures of the Ober animergaii Passion Play. ills offer was refused. lie went back to his studio, engaged a company of very skillful actors, rehearsed them carefully and reproduced the Passion Play, almost as well as It\was originally dono, and the cost was about a twentieth (if what he offered for the original. This manufacturer had an eye on a new field for the moving picture. While his imitation will, perhaps, find a comparatively small market, it cannot hope to reach the class that would have purchased a guaranteed reproduction of the Oberammergau play; viz., the churches. For the churches have not yet come utterly un. der the Sway of the moving plcture, despite the fact that the Congregational and Presbyterian churci of Redlands, California, showed movinl pictulres all last summerflO in their outdoor ptavi Yet thle mlovinig pictulre manlufacturers are do votIng a lot of time and molley to relIgious sub jects. "Joseph Going Into Egypt," "Thle Repulse of Heorod," "Jephlthah's Daughter, "Thle Relief of JIerichlo," and "The Wisdom of Solomon" are a fewv of the subjects of moving-icture plays founded on Biblical accounts. While the moving plictures are batterIng at tile doors of the churches they have already par tially scaled the walls of the schlool-hlouses. Out of every seven subjects p~assedl by the National Boardl of Censorship, one Is classed as "imeda gogical." In tile catalogues of the mnanufacturers 01ne flnds fiijus thlat show lessons in "agriculture, aeronaulties, anImal life, bacteriology, biography, biology, botany, enltomology, ethnlology, fisheries, geograhy, hlistoryv, induistry, kindergarten stud Ies, ininlg and metallurgy, microscopy. mi11i tary and1( naval lIfe, natural hlistory', ornlithlology, Palthology, lpisclculture, religion, travel and zoology."
