How Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable
Compound Completely Cured Her.
The great good Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is doing among
the women of America is attracting
the attention of many of our leading
scientists, and thinking people generally.
I
The following letter is only one of
many thousands which are on file in
the Pinkham office, and go to prove
beyond question that Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound must be a
remedy of great merit, otherwise it
could not produce such marvelous results
among sick and ailing women.
Dear Mrs. Pmkham:?
" About nine months ago I was a great sufferer
with womb trouble, which caused me
severe pain extreme nervousness and frequent
headaches, from which the doctor
failed to relieve me. I tried Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and within a
short time felt better, and after taking five
bottles of it I was entirely cured. I therefore
heartily recommend your Compound as a
splendid uterine tonic. It makes the monthly
periods regular and without pain ; and what
a blessing it is to find such a remedy after so
many doctors fail to help you. I am pleased
to recommend it to all suffering women."?
Mrs. Sara Wilson, 31 East 3d Street, Cincinnati,
Ohio.
If you have suppressed or painful
menstruation, weakness of the stomach,
indigestion, bloating, leucorrhcea,
flooding, nervous prostration, dizziness,
faintness, "don't-care" and
" want-to-be-left-alone" feeling, excitability,
backache or the blues, these
are sure indications of female weakness,
some derangement of the uterus
or ovarian trouble. In such cases there
is one tried and true remedy?Lydia

IN FIRE AND DEBRIS
Scores of Shoe Factory Employes
at Brockton, Mass.,
Meet Horrible Fate.
CAUSED BY BOILER EXPLOSION I
Large Factory Building Totally Wrecked
and Then Destroyed by Flames.
Hundreds of Workers Were
Caught in Debris and
Many of Them Were
Roasted to Death.
The city of Brocktcn, Mass., was
the scene of a frightful horror Monday
morning, in which at least three
score of her citizens lost their lives,
their bodies being mangled and cremated,
by the explosion of a boiler ii}
a large shoe manufacturing establishment
in the Campello district conducted
by the R. B. Grover Company.
The explosion was immediately fol- j
lowed by a flash of flame which consumed
the factory, a long four-story
structure, and incinerated an unknown
number of men and women who were j
unable to extricate themselves from
a mass of tangled wreekage formed
by the terrific upheaval in the boiler
room.
It may never be known just how
ifiany persons perished in the wreck- i
age. No one knows exactly how many
persons were in the factory. The
number has been estimated at 400, but |
Treasurer Charles 0. Emerson of the
Grower company said he doubted
whether there were so many at work.
Two hundred and fifty survivors have
been accounted for and at midnight
Mionday night the remains of fifty
bodies had been recovered from the
ruins, the search being continued all
night. Fragments of human frames
which possibly might belong to bodies
other than those enumerated have
also been found. Few of the remains
have been identified. The head in
nearly every case is missing and except
in rare instances it was impossible
even to distinguish the sex.
The work of identifying those killed
progressed slowly, owing to generally
unrecognizable remains of the victims.
Explosion Fallowed by Fire.
The explosion which was followed |
by such a sacrifice of life and entailed
appalling instances of human
suffering occurred shortly after the
operatives had settled down to work
for the day. Suddenly the air vibrated
with the roar of an explosion.
At the same moment the larger wood
en frame of the factory, a four-story
structure, quivered and then the rear
portion of it collapsed. In a fraction
of a second this section of the great
building had been transformed into
a mass of iron and wood wreckage,
in the midst of which human beings
were pinioned. In another moment
fire had broken out in the debris and
death by fire and suffocation became
the fate of scores of the operatives.
When the boiler exploded it passed
upward almost perpendicularly, tearing
a passage as it went, killing many
on the way. After rising high in the
air, i'i ucstcuucu uan Luc u 10 LUUV-V,
and then swerving northerly, tore its
way like some huge projectile through
a dwelling house 50 feet away and
pierced another dwelling further along,
demolishing the latter structure. Here
its course was stopped.
Scenes of horror followed the
wrenching apart of the fhctory builds
ing. In the rear the three upper
floors, weighted as they were with
heavy machinery, collapsed with a
crash that was heard for blocks. Men
and women operatives working in departments
of this section, who were
busy at their machines, had time but
to turn in an attempt to flee after
the first dull roar, when the flooring
sank beneath them, and they were carried
to the ground floor, crushed and
and bruised amid the mass of debris.
TWonif fell Intr* O TT-OPl tahTA flprV fill*.
-.TAau; ivii itivv M t w. -w?^j
nace. In the sections of the factory
which remained standing the operatives
were panic-stricken as they
sought to escape.
Many fled down the stairways and
reached the street; others ran to the
windows, the fire escape^in many
cases have been torn a^^ty by the
explosion. In desperation many jumped
from the second and third-story
windows to the ground and were dangerously
injured. The crush on the
stairways resulted in numerous minor
injuries.
Instant death was the fate of a
majority who went down with the
floors that collapsed. A large number
of men and women who were
working near the supports were alive
after the floors and walls fell.

ULTIMATUM BY FRANCE.
Two Warships Are Also Ordered Post
Haste to Venezuela to Coerce
Castro?'Crisis Reacher.
A Washington special says: The
French Cable Company complications
have reached a crisis, and MiniMeBrown
has informed the state department
that the French minister at Caracas,
by instructions of his government,
has notified the Venezuelan govi
ernment that there must be no furj
ther proceedings on its part toward
j the cancellation of the company's
irancnjae or mienerence wan lis
i property.
Further, Mr. Bowen reports that
; two French warships have been orj
dered post-haste to Venezuela to act
! in accordance with the instructions
| of the French minister. These are
1 the Julian de Gravrerru and the Du:
plex, now in the Caribbean sea.
j 'It is expected in "Washington that
i the appearance of the warships at
! La Guayra will cause President Castro
i to accede promptly to the demands of
: the French minister, failing which the
minister probably will place the legation
in the care of acme other minister
at Caracas, and go aboard one of
! the warships, thus severing diplomatic
; relations between France and Yen
ezueia.
The present situation cannot conj
tinue more than a few days, accord!
ing to the opinion of official Washj
ington. If the Venezuelan government
seizes the cable office near La
Guayra, it is fully expected that the
French warships will make a demonstration,
attempt to land a force to
recover possession of the property,
and, if resisted, open fire on the defensive
works recently constructed to
defend the harbor and roadstead at
La Guayra. The Dutch government
has lodged a very serious complaint
with President Castro against the
treatment of its citizens and it may
join with France in coercive meas.
ures.
The French government' has not
asked'the consent of the United States
to its proceedings against Castro, nor j
dnps It. feel called uDon to do so. But, I
with a perfect knowledge of the policy
of the United States in such matters,
the French government is going
on the theory that there will be no
intervention on the part of this government.
This assumption is right,
as there is no intention on the part
of the French government of seizing
with a view to Its retention of any
Venezuelan territory.
In the case of the last demonstration,
Mr. Bowen, the American minister,
W3s able to prevent a bombardment
and secure the referencer of the
dispute to The Hague tribunal, but as
I it was, Venezuelan commerce suffered
! somewhat from a few weeks' blockade,
j Now, however, Mr. Bowen's relations
j with President Castro are very differj
ent, and even if he had the disposi- j
| tioQ to do so he lacks power to in- J
i duce President Castro to peaceably
settle this trouble. The state department
also is not disposed to repeat
the history of the first settlement
with Venezuela as the results have
been far from satisfactory, neither'
the allied powers nor Venezuela pleased
at the outcome. The obligations
'Incurred under the award of The
Hague tribunal never have been met. j
It is, therefore, the present intention
of the United States government
not to interfere with any dispute of a
foreign nation with Venezuela provided
the Monroe doctrine is not infringed.
This determination does not estop
action on our part in the inter
ests or American couueajuvuo auu
properties in Venezulea.
GREENE-GAYNOR CASE BLOCKED.
Fugitives Ordered to Appear Before
Court of Claims at Washington.
The suit of Greene and Gaynor in

the court of claims directing them to
appear in Washington and give testimony
in the case, and that its prosecution

I SMALL TOWN IS BEST.
</iews of the Advocates of More Na|
turp and Less High Pressure Life.
It is our belief, says Field .. &
Stream, that in America wo have too
many cities which are too large and
a country which is too mcagerly populated.
We prophesy a coming disintegration
of massed populations, and
their distribution in a more sane and
industrially mere desirable fashion.
The small town is next to the country.
It is a better environment for
the young man than is the great
metropolis toward which so many
turn their eyes. Trolley cars, rural
deliveries, trade catalogues and mailorder
periodicals have done very
much to change the isolation which
formerly went with life in the coun
try. It is improving, and with it mproves
the condition of life in the
small town.
Heretofore our young men have
left the country for the city. Some
of them were obliged to get there to
succeed In their chosen line of work.
For the young man who has a business
career in view there is possible
as good a success in a small city as
he may hope for in a great one. If
he has not much money capital, his
personality, his character will more
readily atone for that in a small
town. This is especially true of the
professional man. Indeed, any mai^
of intelligence may hope for greater
preferment in the small centers of
population than in the large.
As to social life and the general decency
and comfort of passing through
this vale of tears as conditions exist
oven todav?and they will be far bet
ter ten years from now?a self-respecting
family has ten times better
chance in a town of 10,000 to 50,000
inhabitants almost anywhere ia
America, than it can by any possibility
hope to have in a city of the
first class. The small town is a better
environment in many ways. Not
the least of its 'desirable qualities is
the fact that it is closer to the out3
-doors.
Two Japanese Generals.
General Kuroki spent most of his
r time in the shade. When the Japanese
raise a statue of him I hope that
he will not be riding a prancing
steed and swinging his sword, for he
* - ? J
never rode a prancing norse auu
never used his sword. To my recollection
I never saw him make any
gesture except to salute. The sculpI
tor had best make him squatting and
looking at a map while he listens to
his staff; and always all of his staff
except the younger men (the gallopers)
were at his side. He could call
for information or suggestions as
quickly as the head of a great business
house who has a row of push
buttons on his desk.
General Fuji, the chief, went to
sleep in the thick of the fight on the
2d. He had worked most of the night
planning for that day. He could not
make the work of our infantry any
easier or make the fire of our guns
any more accurate by watching
them. He could hear much better
than he could see, getting over the
wire every detail of the movement
of each regiment and battalion has
each general and colonel and major
saw it When he was wanted he
could be awakened. Until he was,
according to the scientific view, he
served his country best by resting.?

THE SIMPLE LIFE
W*y? That Arc Plea*ant and Paths That
Are Peace.
It is the simple life that gives length
of days, serenity of mind and body and
tranquility of soul.
Simple hopes and ambitions, bounded
by the desire to do good to one's neighbors,
simple pleasures, habits, food and
drink.
Men die long before their time because
tbey try to crowd too much into
their experiences?they climb too high
and fall too hard. A wise woman
writes of the good that a simple diet
has done her:
"I have been using Grape-Nuts for
about six months. I began rather
sparingly, until I acquired such a Hking
for it that for the last three months
I have depended upon it almost entirely
for my diet, eating nothing else
whatever but Grape-Nuts for breakfast
and supper, and I believe I could
eat it for dinner with fruit and be satisfied
without other food, and feel
much better and have more strength to
^^ TOT* linncou'Art
UV ilij MVU^V ff
"When 1 began the use of GrapeNuts
I was thin and weak, my muscles
were so soft that I was not able to do
any work. I weighed only 108 pounds.
Nothing that I ate did me any good.
I was going down hill rapidly, was nervous
and miserable, with no ambition
for anything. My condition improved
rapidly after I began to eat GrapeNuts
food. It made me feel like a new
woman; my muscles got solid, my
figure rounded out, my weight increased
to 12(3 pounds in a few weeks,
my nerves grew steady and my mind
better and clearer. My friends tell me
they haven't seen me look so well for
years.
"I consider Grape-Nuts the best food
on the market, and shall never go back
to meats and white bread again."

When Benjamin Franklin first J
thought of starting a newspaper in |
Philadelphia many of his friends ad- > |V
vised against it, because there was a <1
paper published in Boston. Some of |
them doubted that the country would 1
be able to support two newspapers, 1
One hundred years ago the fastest 1
land travel in the world was on the 1
Great North Road, in England, after 3
it had been put into its best condition. 3
There the York mail coach tore along I
at the rate of ninety miles a day, and
many persons confidently predicted J
-Divine vengeance on such unseemly . 9
haste. J|
When Thomas Jefferson was elected 3
President of the United States, on Feb- JI
ruary 17,1S01. after one of the most ex- ' B
citing political campaigns in our his- B
tory, the gratifying news did not reach |S
the successful candidate for as many J|
days as it now takes Lours to transmit JB
the result of a residential election to
the whole civilized world.
When, in 1809, Richard Trevithick w
uttered the following words, there were . 9
many who considered him an insane, aa
dangerous person: "The present gen- J
^ration will use canals, the next will . 3D

When Benjamin Franklin first took
the coach from Philadelphia to ^jTew
York he spent four days on the jour- JBL
ney. He tells us that, as the old driver
jogged along, he spent his time knit- '
ting stockings. Two stage coaches and - jBj
eight horses sufficed for all the commerce

the journey occupied a week. J|

A Snobbish Dog,
Several years ago a fox terrier was -9
presented to a member of the Post- jfl
Intelligencer local staff. The recipient / M
-" cnncoto hpnn?ht his
UI lilt? ttlilllimcu ouugu^v Mkv
gift into the local room from time to . :ggM
time, and the dog became well ac- '
quainted with the entire staff. He was ' AjgH
known as Jules, and was as smart as ' *m
they make them. He gradually adopted
the local room as his home and 9
spent a great deal of his time there.
The owner of Jules whs/ seldom ' M
known to feed the dog, because he had H
hard work to buy meals for himself, ||
owing to his constitutional impecnnios- j
ity. This did not hamper Jules. By '
some means he picked out a restaurant
and hotel route for himself, where he /J
boarded regularly. He ingratiated -S
I himself into the good graces of the ? m
cooks and through their friendship i . M
easily kept fat. His newspaper friends M
finally ceased to trouble themselves M
about his sustenance.
Jules was a great sleeper. He se- '
lected tee long: me wuie m wc <?<.?< _
room for a bed, and he would snooze Jb
for hours on a newspaper file until ,.;|9
somebody who wanted to look at It ?
would shove him off. Then, Jules 1
would meekly move along to another. 5* j
Finally the city editor grew tired of -JS
seeing Jules around, and one night he ; ?
presented the dog to a messenger boy, ;?
who called at midnight and led the i 9
unwilling canine out of the room.
