" The per capita consumption of pa­ pa* in the United States is the highest In the world and of this amount the bulk is for daily newspapers. More than 650,000 tons of newspapers were printed in 1904, the total value of the paper being about $23,000,000. In 1890 less than 197,000 tons, at a cost of about $13,000,000, supplied the de­ mand. In 1890 we were the greatest newspaper-reading people on earth, and to-day we read three or four times as much. The greater part of adver­ tising is done on paper, and the great­ er part of the paper consumed is by newspapers. The conclusion is obvi­ ous--the advertiser has found the newspaper the most profitable field for investment. It is reckoned that by judicious advertising throughout the nation a manufacturer or dealer may reach 99 per cent of the buyers at a comparatively small cost.--Butte In­ ter-Mountain.

The comparison of losses sustained by the Japanese in the hardest fought war of history, and that by our army in the picayune difference with Spain, shows in glaring colofs the difference between a scientific and a merely technical administration. If in any future war which we may have the misfortune to engage our hospital losses are not- sensibly diminished it will be because of a small jealousy of the surgeon on the part of the field and line officers, and a persistence in traditions and observances which have been proved harmful in theory and practice. That officer who sacri­ fices the lives of his men for the maintenance of his own importance will be a just subject for court-mar­ tial in the future. As a fighter he is to remain In supreme command, but as a planner of camps and as a super­ visor of sanitation he is to resign in favor of those who have studied matters.--Brooklyn Eagle. Great Educator Young at 7ft. President Eliot of Harvard lives a life of the greatest possible simplicity. After seventy years of .life, more than half passed as head of the univer­ sity, he declares that one of the most desirable satisfactions of his life comes from having had nothing to do with the attainment of wealth. Erect, light of foot and alert as a youth, he eats well, sleeps well, walks rapidly, .with his shoulders thrown back, and is as eager to get new facts as when he entered Harvard as a student llfty- six years ago.

She brews it very much as the Chinese brew it, hav­ ing learned a great deal of late years about tea making. To make a cup of tea actually quiet the nerves the room should be darkened, for it is the light that tires the nerves niost Then the clothing should be loosened. Finally the shoes should be taken off. Then one is ready for one's cup of tea. The tea should be taken as hot as is com­ fortable, but never scalding. MANY KNOW THIS--DO YOUT Fungus Attacks on Telegraph Poles. The length of service of a telegraph or telephone pole is determined in. a section of the pole not more than a foot or a foot and a half long. In a standing pole this section extends about six or eight Inches above and below the top of the ground. This is the universal point of attack upon the life of the pole, and is called its breaking point Decay is the arch­ enemy of these poles. It sets in at the ground line and reaches both up and down the pole, but only so far as the conditions exist which promote the growth of wood-destroying fungi. A few inches below the ground there Is lack of the necessary oxygen and heat, while at about the same distance above ground the requisite moisture fails. The exact time at which decay begins its work depends upon the cli­ mate, the character of the soil and similar conditions. In a hot, moist climate it ordinarily sets in with great rapidity. But at best, in a very few years after the pole is set the struggle has commenced. The decay soon girdles the pole and gradually eats into it deeper and deeper until it is so weakened that it breaks under the weight of its equipment The strain upon the pole from wind pressure and the weight of its cross- arms and wires' is calculated for the ground line. When the diameter of this ground line is constantly de­ creased, the Etrength of the pole is proportionately reduced, and it be­ comes only a question of time when the pole must fall. Chestnut and white cedar have been found, among avail­ able woods, most successfully to resist decay; but the life of the former Is only from twelve to fifteen years, and of the latter ten to twelve years. Tbe co-operative study of the bureau Is for the purpose of extending, if possible, this time. Tbe experiments already made by the United States Forestry Bureau show conclusively that poles can be subjected to a preservative treatment which insures materially lengthened service. This treatment-consists in im­ pregnating the wood with antiseptics which prevent the growth of the fungi that cause decay. The treatment of telegraph and telephone poles, when attempted at all in this country, gen­ erally has been applied to the whole pole, requiring the use of air-tight cyl­ inders 100 feet long or more. In these the poles are subjected to live steam for some time, when a vacuum is cre­ ated. Creosote is then run in and pressure applied to force it Into tbe wood. Manifestly this is a laborious process. Yet for telegraph and tele­ phone poles only about one foot of the entire length needs to be made im-. mune from fungus. If this foot at the. fatal ground line can be preserved from decay, the rest of the pole will take care of Itself. Experiments will now be made In treating the butts of the poles for a distance of about eight feet, thus carrying the antisep­ tics just beyond the zone of decay attack. The creosote method will be used and dead oil of coal tar forced through the butt of the pole, The telegraph companies have made little use of preservative treatment. They employ millions of poles on their various lines, and it would be a tre­ mendous economy to add even a few years of service to the life of each pole. But there will be another large saving both to them and to the forest through preservative treatment. To provide a good margin against decay, poles are now much larger than de­ manded by the strain upon them. It is expected that decay will quickly eat away a furrow around the pole at the ground line, and the diameter of the pole at that point is gauged to allow for this weakening process. When it is known that decay, in a certain num­ ber of years, cuts the diameter from perhaps 12 to 8 inches, and that below 8 Inches the weakened pole falls, the course to be pursued is obvious. Anti­ septics prevent, for the time of their effectiveness, the starting of decay, and thus permit at the outset the se­ lection of an 8-inch diameter rather than a 12-inch. The 4 Inches saved represent a tremendous difference in the size and age of trees used for poles. Both the companies and the owners of forests will be great gainers by this economy, with Its shortening of the length of time necessary to grow a pole. Coal Ashes as Mukli. I have believed for many years that coal ashes make a good mulch, and I still hold to the opinion, but with some modifications. It is true tnat the ashes will for a time prevent the growing of weedB, especially during the early part of the season. But in the ashes weed seeds will ultimately grow up and de­ velop enormously. I might say that if ashes are put on a piece of ground in the summer the weeds will probably not appear during that year, for the reason that the seeds of weeds will not have time to fait upon the ashes and sprout before cold weather comes. But the next year, look out Last winter 1 put ashes between my rows of current bushes as well as be­ tween my rows of strawberries. The ashes were spread on fully six inches deep, so deep that I thought it impos­ sible for any weed to push through; During the first part of this summer the weeds did not appear, but after midsummer showed a sudden vigor. The ashes then seemed to help Instead of hinder them. I was away from home for some time tn the middle of the summer, and when I came back those weeds were five or six feet and I had to pull up the stalks to make the presence of the we&is in my currant patch less obvious to the neighbors. In my Btrawberry patch the result was the same. The weeds grew up and in addition every strawberry run­ ner that got onto the ashes sent down a good system of roots and developed plants right amid the ashes. I am go­ ing to follow the matter further and see how deep I will have to pile the coal ashes to prevent the growth of weeds. I am sure, however, that coal ashes are a great help for a few weeks but they will not accomplish much as a permanent destroyer.--Albert Bates, DoPage Co., III., in Farmers' Review. The following very interesting conver­ sation- between Iu.r. White, banker, and Mr. Walter Wellman, retired, two promi­ nent citizens ot tbe town, was recently overheard: "I never boy patent medicine," said Mr. White. "When I feel the need of medical assistance I call our ^physician. I don't believe in taking a lot of stuff that I know nothing about. I know, how­ ever, that a great many do use it, and apparently with good results, but I am for getting a doctor every time." "Your circumstances render this possi­ ble," replied Mr. Wellman, "but the ma­ jority of people must consider the ex­ pense. My experience Is that some pat­ ent medicines frequently cure when the ioctor's skill is baffled. Take, for in­ stance an affliction; say like constipation and stomach trouble. Did you ever hear of your family physician curing a case like that? If constipated, he gives you a physic; but a physic cannot cure consti­ pation, and he will tell you so. It Is a temporary relief and before long you need more physic or pills. The doctor charges you $2 every time you call on him and you have to pay 50c or 75c to have his prescription filled. Pr«tty soon you have the •Fill" or 'Physic' Libit and your doc­ tor has a steady customer. You cannot read the doctor's prescriptions. You know no more about what he gives you than you do about the ingredients of a patent medicine. No reliable company will put a lot of money into a patent medicine unless they are convinced that it will do all that is claimed for it. Usually it is tne prescription of some .specialist who has devoted his life to the study of a certain disease and has mastered it. I mention constipation and stomach trouble because I suffered from that af­ fliction for years. It is the beginning of nearly all disease. Once It gets a srip on you. It Is serious, stubborn and hard to overcome. I never knew a case that was cured by an ordinary practicing phy­ sician. but I do know or a number of bad cases that were permanently cured bv a remedy called Mull's Grape Tonic. I "have used it in my family with satis­ factory- results. It cured me, and I know a great many mor* persons it has cured. It costs 50 cents for & small or J1.00 for a large bottle. I don't know exactly all that is in it. but I do know it cures con­ stipation and stomach trouble and that is more than my family doctor could do for mf' was first attracted to the remedy by the company's offer to give the first bot­ tle free to any one who would write to them giving their druggist's name. I am thankful for the benefit it has given and advise every sufferer from constipation to write to the Mull's Grape Tonic Co., 148 4th Ave., Rock Island, 111., giving them their druggist's address, so that they can procure a bottle free of expense.' Evil Effects of Egotism. One of the greatest evils of the American character is Its intense ego­ tism. We take it for granted that we are better people than everybody else, always do the right thing and can not learn anything fom any one A natural result of this national trait is that we make some very serious mistakes, not merely in our dealings with other people, but in our efforts to develop our foreign trade. In our efforts to dominate the trade of South America we have endeavored to make our customers take such goods as we considered they should take and we have neglected to offer them Just such goods as they desired, with the result that we have had the mortification to see the bulk of the South Amerl can trade go elsewhere.--New Orleans Picayune.

The Kind Tm Ham Always Bdeghfc ' Rhodes Memorial Too Massive. The equestrian statue of "Physical Energy," made in London, to be erect­ ed on the Matoppo Hills, South Africa, as a memorial to Cecil Rhodes, has been found too bulky and heavy for the Journey. It now lies in an ex­ press company's yard until a decision Is reached as to what shall be done Wltkife ALCOHOL IN MOST MEDICINES. Indispensable Requisite In Compound* ing of borne Prescriptions. It is of course true that some pro* prietary medicines contain alcohol and nearly all liquid medicines prescribed by physicians contain it No honest man will defend the sale of Intoxi­ cants under the guise of medicine; but every honest man should protest against a system of wholesale denun­ ciation born of malice, or ignorance of pharmaceutical principles, and fos­ tered by selfish interests. It is as­ sumed that alcohol is the cause of in- temperance; but there is a great dif­ ference between alcohol and whisky. If a substitute for alcohol could be found for use in the manufacture of medicines, its discoverer would render a great service to the profession of pharmacy and the science of medi­ cine, for alcohol is a very expensive ingredient and a cheaper substitute would be gladly accepted. Unfortun­ ately the word alcohol, in the minds of many people is associated exclu­ sively with bar-rooms, drunkenness and all forms of degradation and vice. This Is due to a lack of knowledge by the general public of the fact that alcohol Is an indispensable requisite in drugs, tinctures and fluid extracts. All fluid extracts and tinctures on the druggists' shelves contain from 20 to 90 per cent of alcohol; and of all liquid medicines prescribed by phy­ sicians more than 75 per cent contain it in large proportions. Alcohol is required to preserve or­ ganic substances from deterioration and from freezing, and It is also re­ quired to dissolve substances not solu­ ble in water, while It contributes to their preservation when dissolved. Diluted alcohol is largely employed in fluid extracts; and whenever a greater strength of alcohol is required as a solvent (for extracting medicinal prin­ ciples) the medicine is of 6uch a char­ acter as to preclude a large dosage; and for this reason preparations, even if containing 50 per cent or more of alcohol, are practically less intoxicat­ ing than beer. In such cases the character of the medicinal constituents is such as to absolutely forbid the taking of the medicine in any way except in very small doses and at stated intervals only. To assume that any great number of proprietary med­ icines are used as beverages is the veriest absurdity.--Exchange. Bible Distribution. In China last year the British and Foreign Bible Society distributed more than 1,000,000 copies of the Scriptures. During the same period 350,000 books were given away among the soldiers and sailors of Russia and Japan. Insist on Getting It Some grocers say they don't keep Defiance Starch.

Dangers and Pain of This Critical Period Avoided by the Use of Lydla B. Pink- bam't* Vegetable Compound. How many wo men realize that the most critical period in a wo­ man's existence is the change of life, and that the anxiety felt by women as thife time draws near is not without reason ? If her system is in a deranged condi­ tion, or she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, it is at this time likely to become active and, with a host of nervous irritations, make life a burden. At this time, also cancers and tumors are more liable to begin their destruc­ tive work. Such warning symptoms as % sense of suffocation, hot flashes, diz­ ziness, headache, dread of impending jvil, sounds in the ears, timidity, pal­ pitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inqui­ etude are promptly heeded by intelli­ gent women who are approaching the period of life when woman's great change may be expected. Lydis E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com­ pound is the world's greatest remedy for women at this trying period, and may be relied upon to overcome all dis­ tressing symptoms and carry them safely through to a healthy and happy old age. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com­ pound invigorates and strengthens the female organism, and builds up the weakened nervous system as no other medicine can. Mrs A. E. G. Hyland, of Chester- town, Md., In a letter to Mrs. Pink- ham, says: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-- "I had been suffering with Calling of the womb for years and was passing through the change of life. My womb was badly swollen. I iwnl a good deal of soreness, dizsy spells, headaches, and was very nervous. I wrote you for advice and commenced treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com­ pound as you directed, and I am happy to say that all those distressing symptoms left me, and I have passed safely through the change of life a well woman." For special advice regarding this im­ portant period women are invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. II Is free and always helpful.
