WOMAN GOULD HOT WALK She Was So III Restored to Health by Lydia . Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, Pentwater, Mich. "A year ago I was Very weak and the doctor said I had a serious displace ment. , I had back ache aud bearing down pains so bad that I could not sit in a chair or walk across the floor and I was in severe pain all the time. I felt discouraged as I had taken everything I could think of and was no better. I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound and now I am strong and healthy." Mrs. Alice Darling, R.P.D.

"I had such backaches that I could hardly stand on my feet I would feel like crying out lota of times, and had such a heavy feeling in my right side. I had such terrible dull headaches every day and they would make me feel so drowsy and sleepy all the time, yet I could not sleep at night. "After I had taken Lydia E.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a week I began to improve. My backache was less and that heavy feeling in my side went away. I continued to take the Com pound and am cured.

He had a very fault-finding disposition, but she was very patient and also very fond of him. After an especially severe attack, a friend called to inquire after him. The patient wore a mournful expres sion. "Well," said the friend, cheerfully, "how are you today?" ' "Very badly," replied the rheumat ic sufferer, "and it's all my wife's fault." ' "Why," cried the friend in astonish ment. "Is it possible?" "Yes," moaned the invalid, "you know, the doctor told me always to avoid damp places; and there my wife sits and cries Just to make the air moist around me." Aged Survivors of Our Wars. I am informed by the United States pension office that the last soldier of the rebellion will die in 1955. That is the estimate made by those who make a study of vital statistics. If the last veteran survives until . that date he will have lived ninety years after the surrender of Lee. Kronk, who died a couple of years ago in New York state, was the last soldier of the War of 1812, and he lived considerably more than ninety 1 years after peace had been signed. Bakeman, the last soldier of the Revolution, lived for eighty-six years after the peace of 1783. Philadelphia Public Ladger. ' "LIKE MAQIC" New Food Makes Wonderful Changes. When a man has suffered from dys pepsia so many years that he can't re member when he had a natural appe tite, and then hits on a way out of trouble he may be excused for saying "it acts like magic." When it is a simple, wholesome food instead of any one of a large num ber of so called remedies in the form w bf drugs, be is more than ever likely ( to feel as though a sort of miracle has been performed. A Chicago man, in the delight of re stored digestion, puts it in this way: "Like magic, fittingly describes the manner in which Grape-Nuts relieved me of poor digestion, coated tongue and loss of appetite, of many years standing. "I tried about every medicine that was recommended to me, without re lief. Then I tried Grape-Nuts on the suggestion of a friend. By the time I had finished the fourth package, my stomach was all right, and for the past two months I have been eating with a relish anything set before me. That is something I had been unable to do previously for years. "I am stronger than ever and I con sider the effects of Grape-Nuts on a weak stomach as something, really wonderful. It builds up the entire body as well as the brain and nerves."

NEELY.HALL Author of "Handicraft for Handy oy" and "Tkm Boy Craftiman" . I . D ETAH-S 0F LE.M ON ADC - STAN D CASH DRAWER. A LEMONADE STAND WITH A CASH DRAWER. A little lemonade stand will help any boy to do a thriving business on every warm day, and even on days that are not uncomfortably warm an attractively made and clean appear ing stand will draw enough business to pay a boy for his time. A stand need not be elaborate to be attractive, and it Isn't much bother to keep its top clean and dry. Such a stand as is shown in Fig. 1 is easily made. Fig. 2 shows a rear view of it. If you can get two packing cases of medium size, they can be stood on end, several feet apart, and enough boards extended across them to form a table top. But if one box is smaller than the other, it is a simple matter to nail two strips to one side of the smaller box, as 6hown at A (Fig. 3) for legs. These must extend far enough below the bottom of the box, of course, to bring the tops of the boxes on the same'' level (Fig. 2). Where one box Is smaller, its bottom will form a convenient shelf upon which to keep the pitcher of lemon ade; also your stock of sugar and lemons. The larger box will hold the pail of water for rinsing glasses. If the boxes are of equal size, fasten a shelf in one, so the pitcher of lemon ade can be kept off the ground; In any case the pitcher must, of course, be kept covered with a clean towel or napkin. A cash drawer Is a new idea for a lemonade stand, and it is simple to make (Fig. 4). A muffin pan with four or six compartments (Fig. 6) makes a splendid money tray, and if there isn't a worn-out pan In the pan try a cheap one can be purchased for 10 or 15 cents. The size of the cash drawer should be regulated to suit the rp-, COLD muffin pan. Make a frame of four pieces of board about 4 inches wide (B, Fig. 7), cutting the two side pieces of the right length so the in side of the drawer will be about 4 inches longer than the pan (Fig. 4). You may not have occasion to put pa per money away in your drawer, but if a customer has no change he may hand you a dollar bill, so you must have a shelf in front of the pan tray on which to put it The strips C (Fig. 7) should be nailed to the in side face of three sides of the drawer, about inches below the top, to support the rim of the muffin pan, and the board D (Fig. 7) forms a shelf for bills. The simplest method of arranging cleats for the cash drawer to slide on is by placing the boxes on which the top is supported just a trifle further apart than the width of the drawer, and then nailing strips to the inner faces of the boxes, at the proper dis tance below the under side of the top (Fig. 1). It is not necessary to fasten a bottom to the drawer, and you will see by the section drawing (Fig. 5) that by omitting this you have the bottom of the front piece to catch hold of in opening the drawer. If you wish to, you can arrange a bell and striker in such a position that the bell will ring each time the drawer is opened. To save the necessity of opening the drawer when change is not re quired, especially when business is rushing, a couple of openings in the top of the counter top, directly over the penny and nickel compartments of the drawer, will be convenient for dropping coins through (Fig. 2). The opening between the box sup ports of the lemonade stand should be concealed at the front by tacking a strip of cheesecloth or muslin, equal In width to the height of the stand. across the front and around the ends (Fig. 1). Prepare a cloth or board sign with lettering printed upon it with paint or washing blueing (Fig. 1), and support It upon uprights fastened to the ends of the Btand. If you sell your lemon ade in glasses of different sizes, say at 1 cent and 2 cents a glass, you might indicate the sizes of the glasses upon the sign as suggested in Fig. 1. (Copyright, 1912, by A. Neely Hall.) MR. VANDERBILT'S 12 CENTS Millionaire Takes the Trouble to Change a Dollar to Get a Small Sum of Money. Mr. Vanderbilt was notabr exact ing In his personal business relations of himself as well as of others. At a meeting of a certain railroad's board of directors of which he was a mem ber it was found that several were ab sent. At a full board meeting each director received ten dollars, and it was the rule that if you were absent those present shared the total fee. That Is, if but half the members were present each attending member would receive twenty dollars, and so propor tionately. On the day of the meeting referred to the number of absentees made the division of the fee amount to certain odd dollars and twelve and a "half cents. At the close of the meeting, as the secretary handed each member his apportioned fee, he accepted the given number of dollars and pa'ssed up the twelve and a half cents to avoid the bother of making change. When the secretary came to Mr. Vanderbilt, however, he found him busily counting some small coin from a purse onto the table. "I can change a dollar for you, and will take the twelve cents," said Mr. Vanderbilt; then smiled, as he added, "but I can not manage the half cent." And the man worth more than a hundred mil lion dollars had taken the trouble to change a dollar for the sake of twelve cents, which, together with the extra dollars, had come to him by the de fault of others. Had the proposed halfpenny then been in circulation he would probably have "managed the half-cent." The next day Cornelius Vanderbilt gave half a million dollars to estab lish a charity work In New York. And It was in a measure due to his con stantly keeping close tab on the pen nies in the handling of his large af fairs that he was able to make such a splendid gift in the cause of human ity. Richard M. WInans, In Harper's Weekly. Manners, If Not Mathematics. The little boy, aged five, was sit ting in the midst of the large family circle at the luncheon table. Oppo site him was his young lady cousin, who mingled with her affection for him an earnest desire to set his in fant feet in the paths of knowledge. Just now, In her intense way, she was trying to teach him how to di vide an orange into quarters. Again and again she led up to the point that she wished him to think out, and, as often, he failed to follow. As she leaned forward, wholly ab sorbed in her desire to make the idea clear to him, she asked once more, "But how would you get a quarter of an orange?" The boy, blissfully unconscious, re plied with a beaming look, "I would say please." Youth's Companion. Benefit of Sorrow. By sorrow men learn that they need to be fed with higher food; that they must rest on stronger supports; that they must have other friends and other friendships; that they must live another life; that there must be something tat neither time nor chance, nor, accident can undermine and sweep away. When men have learned the interior lessons of sor row, they look upon trouble not as being less troublous than it was, but as, from the higher point to which they have risen, unreal and dreamy.

One , little four-year-old boy who doesn't live far from Central park west. New York, has as his particular playmate a little girl of about the same age. The children frequently spend their evenings together, and the other morning the girl came to the fence and called him. "Alton," she cried, "come out and Play." Alton's mother heard the call and said to him: "Tell her you can't come over just now because you have to take a bath." So Alton went to the front window. "Elizabeth," he called, "I can't come over now." Then he turned back to his mother and added: "I don't fink the rest of It need be saided." Be Happy Today. He that hath so many causes of joy, and so great, is very much In love with sorrow and peevishness, who loses all these pleasures, and chooses to sit down upon his little handful of thorns. Enjoy the blessings of this day, if God sends them; and the evils of it bear patiently and sweetly; for this day only is ours. We are dead to yesterday and we are not yet born to he morrow. But if we look abroad and bring into one day's thoughts the evil of many, certain and uncertain, what will be and what will never be, our load will be as intolerable as it is unreasonable.

Perhaps it would not be so easy to lose "womanliness" as some people seem afraid it would be. Perhaps all the pow-wow about becoming desexed is superfluous. Weininger calls atten tion to the fact that, while there are people who are anatomically men and psychically women, there is no such thing as a person who Js anatomically woman and psychically man. How ever masculine her appearance, a woman's psychic qualities remain dis tinctively feminine. At least, Mr. Weininger says so. Considerate.

Even in the smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the func tions and growth of the cells which are likely to become permanent, causing imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later life. Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet in their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should never receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and only then if unavoidable. . The administration of Anodynes, Drops, Cordials, Soothing Syrups and other narcotics to children by any but a physician cannot be too strongly decried, and the druggist should not be a party to it. Children who are ill need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing less than a crime to Ana them willf ullv with narcotics. Castoria contains no narcotics if sio-nature of Chas. II. Fletcher.
