Why That Headache?
When you know the cause of a dis
ease a cure may often be effected.
This is particularly true of headache.
Headache often results from consti
pation or a disordered condition of
the stomach which may be corrected
by taking a dose or two of Chamber
lain's Tablets. Try it. These tablets
are easy to take and mild and gentle
in effect.

FIRST LOVE STILL LINGERS
John Burroughs Has Vivid Recollec
tions of the Little Maid Who
Won His Heart.
John Burroughs' recollections of his
first sweetheart are as fresh and rose
tinted as the cheeks of the little lady
as she ran down the hill to play with
her ardent young admirer of five.
"Uncle John tells about her in "John
Burroughs, Boy and Man," the semi
autobiography which is written by his
friend, Dr. Clara Ba rr us.
"I can see her now, as she came
running down the hill from the school
house, the cape of her little pink sun
bonnet fluttering in the breeze," said
Mr. Burroughs as he pointed out the
course she took down the road to her
home.
"I must have been between five and
Six years old. I had gone over to
neighbor Bartram's in the West settle
ment with father on a stoneboat drawn
by the oxen. Father probably went
there to help him ? draw stones for
a new piece of wall-they used to ex
change work in that Way.
"I can hear her father's voice as
he sent it over the hills to the school
house1-he had a prodigious voice
'Eleanor, come home.' And soon she
came flying down the road to play with
me.
"We played by the barri on a .little
mound of hay. I remember we made ? ,
nest there-I can see her now as she
took a wisp of hay and pinched it to
gether, making believe it was an egg,
and that she was a hen-I can- see
the sharp anglos of the shining hay |1
as she tried to shape it like an egg
before she covered it in th? nest."
RECALL FATE OF FRANKLIN
Interesting Relics Recently Brought to
Vancouver From the Land
Where He Perished.
After being In the possession of the
thrifty natives of King William's land
for three-quarters of a century, a
large number of interesting relics of j
the ill-fated Slr John Franklin polar j
expedition have been brought. from
the frozen north by Joe Benard, who
ls here after a four years' stay along
the northernmost coast of the North
American continent, says a Vancouver [ <
(B. C.) dispatch.
Though priceless from a collector's
point of view, the utilitarian value of j
the relics is negligible, and they were
obtained by Benard for a piece of
lumber worth possibly 20 cents on the 1
coast. *
A few brass buttons among the 1
relics are believed to have belonged to ?
the distinguished leader, though there j
is as yet no positive proof of this
Benard also obtained a number of
primitive scientific instruments used
by the northern tribes. These will be
sold to various museums and univer
sities for which the explorer has been c
collecting ethnological specimens and j
data since 1910. He also bnught a ?
collection of furs worth approximate- j
ly $25,000,
Sir John Franklin, with 154 com
panions, sailed Into the Arctic in 1845 1
to find the northwest passage, and c
was never heard of again. After many ?
relief expeditions had failed, his fate \
was ascertained in 1859, when bleached t
skeletons were found on the trail to j
Hudson bay
The Middle Initial.
With the exception of William H.
Taft, Senator Harding is the first
President since Rutherford B. Hayes,
to use more than one Christian name.
Grover Cleveland, William McKinley,
Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow
Wilson (who dropped his first name
Thomas, early In the career) got along
without middle names or initials. The
middle, initial, incidentally, ls almost
exclusively an American characteris
tic. An Englishman may call himself
John James Smith, but practically nev
er John J. Smith. A Frenchman may
be baptised Auguste Charles Jesus '
Marie Georges Dupont, but he will be I
known to the world as Georges Du
pont, and probably will sign himself I j
G. Dupont.
The use of more than one given
name is puzzling to a Frenchman.
When Senator Lodge is mentioned in|t
the French press, he is never "M.
Lodge." but "M. Cabot Lodge," or as!
one prominent Paris dally writes it, j
"M. Cabot-Lodge." The President-Elect t
may look forward to be known on the '
continent as "President Gamaliel Hard
ing."-Editorial Digest. I

Bokhara in Hands of Reds? \
Nominally the government of Bok- t
hara ls in the hands of the amir, who e
ls an absolute autocrat, but actually i
power ls largely exercised by the Mo- j
haramedan clergy. The houses in thef
capital are closely packed together,
and everyone must be indoors by dusk.
At night the streets are paraded by
police patrols, who beat drums to I
scare away thieves and robbers. The f
city is surrounded by a ruined but still (
strong wall about 7% miles In cir
cumference. It is now reported that
Bokhara has been captured by the
Reds.
Old Fort Still Useful.
Less than half a century ago al
most every American community west
of the Mississippi was protected
against Indian raids by a fort or stock
ade. Most of these structures have
now fallen Into dust, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. In southern Utah, 3
however, is a stone structure, i
known as "Cove Port," which was \
built in 1867, at the time of the y
Blackhawk-Mormon war, yet is today
in a s!?te of perfect preservation. It
ls now used, in fact, as a ranch house
and hotel. 1
LADY HENRY SOMERSET P
MOTED TO HEAVENLY Ai
TIVITIES.
News has come of the trans?a'
of another of the great leaders of
temperance reform. On March
Lady Henry Somerset, for m
years president of the World's W
T. U., passed on to the other wor
Isabel, Lady Henry Somerset, b
in London, in 1851,'had all the qu
fications of a successful leader. Mi
illustrious men and women of
Somers family ae found in the
nals of English history, among th
Lord Keeper Somers, of whom 1
cauley speaks as "the greatest n
of his age." Her father, Earl Somi
was a student, a traveller, and
friend of men of celebrity, while
stately ancestry of her mother, Co
tess Somers, included a maid in WJ
ing to the unfortunate Queen An1
nette. Thus Lady Henry, as the e
est daughter, was born to an inhc
tance of culture, refinement s
wealth.
In 1872 she was married to Lc
Henry Somerset, and for seve
years her life was spent in court c
des, Lord Henry being one of 1
officials of Queen Victoria. The wh
and gaity of fashionable life coi
not long be satisfying to one wh(
spiritual nature was of the deep*
and who craved the highest things
this world. When, therefore, a gra
pVrsonal sorrow came into her li:
when the bitter waters of disappoh
ment went over her soul, she gathc
?d strength from trial and brave
kook up the tasks which, in Goc
dealings, had been laid upon her. F
many years she devoted herself
bettering the conditions of her te
antry in the several countries whe
me had estates, signing the tempe
ance pledge at her castle gates wi
forty of her tenants. In the famoi
Herefordshire country, where Eas
aor Castle is situated, meetings wei
ield in the farming districts, Lac
Eenry going often on cold storm
lays over the hills to the cottage gal
?ringsof her people.
For years a mission was supporte
jy Lady Henry in one of the poor?
listricts of London, and here it wi
;hat she came in closer touch wit
me degradation caused by the liquc
;raffic. She personally visited houa
ifter house, going among the crim
ial and the outcast, helping, comforl
ngand cheering them with a love an
patience which brought to them lif
ind. hope.
In 1889 she was elected Presiden
>f the British Woman's Temperanc
Association, which office she held un
;il 1903. Much of the progress mad
)y the Association is due to the wise
iberal and forceful policy which sh<
naugurated. No speaker in Englam
irew larger audiences than did thi:
jifted orator. Her logical reasoning
ceen analysis, vast fund of informa
;ion, and full understanding of po
itical conditions, made her of al
ipeakers, the best equipped to pre
sent the great theme of total absti
lenee.
When the Royal Licensing Com
nission to investigate the conditions
>f the drink trade in Great Britain
vas in session, the strongest, clear
sst, and most direct testimony given
>efore this body was hers, its thor
mghness eliciting from the Commis
ioners the highest commendation.
The World's W. C. T. U. in 1890
nade Lady Henry Vice President, and
>n the death of Miss Frances E. Wil
ard in 1898, she succeeded to the
>residency, which she held until 1906.
The thorough knowledge which
jady Henry had of the drinking hab
ts of English women, and the hold
vhich-it has upon their lives, led her
o found "The Industrial Farm Colo
?y," where women were treated for
Irunkenness. The Colony, situated in
)uxhurst, consisted of 200 acres of
>eautiful grounds. Gardening, fruit
mltivation, care of bees, raising of
joultry, seed sorting, basket making,
inen weaving, and laundry work,
vere the avocations which furnished
he patients out-door exercise and
smployment. IA particularly interest
ng feature of Duxhurst was "The
?lest," a permanent home forchil
Iren rescued from vicious-homes and
ntlemperance. A beautiful church
lecorated with work modeled by Lady
?enry, and a well equipped hospital,
ormed part of the Colony buildings.
)ut of the 144 inmates treated in one
rear, 125 were women who were en
irely cured and who later lived indus
rious lives. Lady Henry devoted
ime, money and strength to .building
ip the splendid work of this Colony,
vhich, through her untiring efforts,
vas recognized as a powerful factor
n helping to solve the drink habit in
5reat Britain. .
This gifted woman was for many
rears a regular contributor to news
>apers and magazines. ' There has
>een no worker for our cause who
las written more pronouncedly in fa
'or of the franchise and labor ques
ions; as well as that of total absti
?ence, and whose articles have been
more widely copied or more exten
sively noticed by the press.
On her first visit to America, in
1891, Lady Henry met Frances E.
Willard, in whose life and work she
had already become greatly interest
ed, and the friendship thus formed
between the two world leaders was
deep, lasting and tender. Miss Wil
lard and Miss Gordon were her guests
at Eastnor Castle and Reigate for
months at a time.
Lady. Henry was ? genial com
rade, intensely sympathetic in nature,
a?d loyal to her friends, thus com
bining those rare qualities which
made friends for her the world over.
A member of the Church of England,
she extended helpful hands to all men
and women who were working in the
cause of Christ, and obedient to the
Mar r's call, she carried into her
daily life the precepts of the Golden
Rule.-Palmetto White Ribbon.
HONORED NAME IN MEDICINE
Henry Detwller, Native of Switzerland,
the First to Practice Homeopathy
in America.
Among the first. If not the first, to
successfully practice homeopathy In
America was Henry Detwiler, who
was born in Langenbruck, Switzerland,
December 18, 1795.
He studied medicine a number of
years before he came to this country
on a vessel containing 400 French ref
ugees who left their country after the
defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte. He was
appointed ship physician, and success
fully treated an epidemic of dysentery
which had broken out during the pas
sage.
Coming to Pennsylvania, he settled
in the Lehigh Valley, and gained promi
nence* by treating a large number of
people who were attacked with a mys
terious disease which he finally diag
nosed as bilious colic, resulting from
eating apple butter.
He early made a study of the sys
tem medicine founded by Hahne
niann, and in 1828 dispensed the first
remedy in Pennsylvania, in accordance
with the law of similars, and during
the remainder of his life was a devoted
homeopathist.
Doctor Detwller formed an intimate
acquaintance with Hahnemann, who
gave him a wonderful reception in
Paris, where he met other noted phy
sicians and scientists. He gave many
natural history specimens to various
colleges, founded an iron industry and
finally died at the advanced age of
ninety-two.-Chicago Journal.
'HILL 60'BOUGHT BY BREWER
Hotel Kay Be Erected on Ground in
Fiv.nce That Will Hold Immortal
~' Memories.
"Hill CO," whose record is written in
British hearts with the blood of her
young army, has been sold to a brew
er.
"It is Expected," says the London
Times, "that a hotel will be erected
there. From battleground of immor
tal memory to hostelry is a fate which
may be deplored, but it is possible,
even probable, that by an enterprise
however foreign to sentiment, all that
ls associated with the place may be
preserved.
"Hill 60," sacred with the memories
of Loos and of many a subsequent re
surgence of the tide of battle, conse
crated as few other spots of earth
have been by repeated baptisms of
heroic blood, long ceased to be a hill.
It was held, as one commanding offi
cer reported, geographically, though
its military Value had been utterly de
stroyed.
"The 'hill' itself was blasted to dust
long before the struggles for its pos
session had ended. Its name will en
dure as long as British history, and it
is perhaps as well that a monument
should mark the site of so many
heroisms, even if the monument pre
sents a commercial aspect."
Pueblo-Type Cottages Are Cement
All the quaint charm of the old pu
ebro style of architecture ls preserved
in concrete in a series of little cot
tages now under construction in Mon
rovia, Cal. The one-story buildings
are most remarkable for their complete
use of cement, woodwork being prac
tically eliminated. Even the roofs are
concrete, and the doors are made of
magnesite, according to an illustrated
article in the January Popular Me
chanics Magazine. The poured walls,
five Inches thick, inclose a web of
waterproofing material, while the ce
ment floors are stained in Spanish
leath?r effect, waxed and polished. The
little structures are wholly fireproof,
and easy cleaning ls assured by the ab
sence of moldings, casing and base
boards. Inclosed courts off the kitch
en and sleeping chamb?rs, partly
roofed and partly screened, provide
outdoor protection and privacy.
Now Ii the Time to Get Rid of Your
Rheumatism.
If you are troubled with chronic
ar muscular rheumatism buy a bottle

?age the affected parts twice a day
with it. You are certain to be very
much benefitted by it if not actually
cured. Try it.

It is said that 69 men ont of 85 reach the age of
65 without a dollar and 89 men out of every hundred
have no estate at all.
Where do you stand in this list? Isn't that a
f question to start you to thinking? The figures are
from statistics and are fairly correct. If you haven't
