FAMILY AVOIDS
SERIOUS SICKNESS
By Being Constantly Supplied With
Thedford’s Black-Draught.
McDuff, Va.—“I suffered for several
Sears,” says Mrs. J. B. Whittaker, of
lis place, “with sick headache, and
stomach trouble.
Ten years ago a friend told me to try
Thedford’s Black-Draught, which I did,
and 1 found it to be the best family medi
cine for young and old.
I keep Black-Draught on hand all the
time now, and when my children feel a
little bad, they ask me for a dose, and it
does them more good than any medicine
they ever tried. |
We never have a long spell of sick
ness in our family, since we commenced
using Black-Draught.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, and has been found to regu- |
late weak stomachs, aid digestion, re
lieve indigestion, colic, wind, nausea,
headache, sick stomach, and similar,
symptoms.
It has been in constant use for more
than 70 years, and has benefited more
than a million people.
Your druggist sells and recommends
Black-Draught. Price only 25c. Get a

WORLD OWES DEBT TO WOMAN
Fostering sr Agriculture Has Been
From the Beginning of Time in
Female Hands.
Ag-'culture today iepenos chiefly
Tp<- ■ ho work of the primeval woman
We ir'> indebted to the nomad's wife
for he greatest of si! economic eerv
Ice-i 3he tamed the young of the
m ’ ' ramahle animals, gave them to
her -\vage hURband, and made of him
the more civil herdRtnan who for
age* allowed his docks after the man
ner of Jacob and L<of and Job This
fertile wife of the nomad became t£e
wife of farmers, and she made a farmer
of her son by placing in his hand the
precious seed of the grains, the pres
ent basis of agriculture, the bread of
man, and the concentrated food of all
our domestic animals
Where did this ancient mother get
these precious seeds* In many cases
we do not know, and cannot, wen
guess. 3he found some plant with
one or two rich seeds, planted them,
and then generation after generation
her descendants picked over their lit
tle grain patches, selecting seeds to
be preciously preserved from the har
vest festival to 'he next spring
planting featfv-ii. which we now call
Easter By ?'• pro-ess finning in
through unkno- gene-itions of men,
the plants beca- -■> --ranged by the
artificial applica; of Darwin's law
of selection that now no botanist dares
suggest what, plant or plants were the
wild forebears of some of the present
grains from which 'he world today ob
tains Its bread
We are indebted to this cave or
tent dwelling woman But, shall we
accept her work as final? Can science
do no better than follow along the
path she laid out ’ The fact that, ag

IN HOUSES OF CORNSTALK
Primitive Dwelling Places That Are
Occupied by the Poorest Class of
Egyptian Peasants.
On the outskirts of Alexandria
passed numerous groups of Bedouins,
camping by the side of the Mahmou
dieh canal Out in the fields men in i
women, dressed alike in the loose cot
ton gown of the country, were busily
at work. The fields were dotted with
curious doorless structures made •'
cornstalks. They are used as :emoo
rary homes at certain seasons of ie
year, as, for instance, when ’fee crops
are being gathered.
Later on I entered on°, and found
it to be not more than five feet,
square; one couid nor. stand upright
Inside. The place contained nothing
but a few jars and cooking utensils.
In the winter the occupants wrap
themselves up in their clothes at
night, covering the heads also, but
leaving the feet bare The hut I saw
was occupied by a man and his son
These people, of course, are the fel
laheen—the peasants—the pure Egyp
tian of che poorest class.—Christian
Hereald.
13,000 Mile* of Silver.
The greatest money count la the his
tory of the United States is now on.
Every piece of money In the country’s
billion-bulging treasury must be han
dled and each security fingered. A
corps of men—the most expert money
couuters In the world—will ♦ork at
the task day and night, but It will
take them sixty days to finish it
There are 158.708.WO silver dollars
alone In this vast sum. Much of the
ooln counting Is done by weighing, but
there is an Ingenious machine which
digests silver dollars, quarters and
halves and counts them as fast as a
man can turn the handle. If the sil
ver dollars were stacked one on top
of another, they would tower 835
miles high. If they could be laid in
a continuous line, each touching the
other, the silver horde would stretch
out for a distance of 13,000 miles.—
Robert D. Heini in Leslie’s.
Egyptian Justice.
In ancient Egypt all court business
was carried on in writing, in order
that the decision might not be in
fluenced by oratory or personal ap
peal. The laws lay before the Judges
upon a table, and the accuser declared
In writing how he had been injured,
whereupon the defendant stated In
writing what he had to say. Then
came a rejoinder from each party to
the case, after which the judges de
liberated among themselves until they
had hit upon the proper legal penalty
tor the party who had In the mean
time been adjudged guilty. This point
being reached the president of the
Judges touched with an Image of
Thmel, the "Goddess of Truth." the
manuscript of the guilty pleader and
the case was over.
The President.
The president of the United states
has nothing whatever to do with the
making of the laws of the individual
states or of the United StateB. He is
purely and simply the national execu
tive. his business being to carry out
the laws that are made by the con
gress. In order to be able to make
laws the president would need to be
an absolute monarch, like the czar of
Russia or the Sultan of Turkey. As
it is, he is simply the head servant of
the people, with his duties clearly laid
down in the constitution, and from
which he cannot deviate. Instead of
making the laws the laws are mads
by the legislative servants of the peo
ple for him to axeents.

NO MAN-FLY ON MONUMENT I
great Corrunotloo at Capital on Re
port That Ns» Yorker Was
Scaling Shaft.
Rumors that, i New York "human
| fly," who has been scaling office bulld
j lags In that city, was climbing the
] side of the 555-foot Washington monu
ment. gave this city ao end of excite
ment the other day
Someone discovered a black opot on
tbe side of the shaft, about 150 feet
from the top, and the* the report
started
Hundreds rushed toward the monu
ment grounds, a half mile from the
center of the city. Along Pennsyl
vania avenue crowds collected nt ev
ery corner and windows and door
ways rapidly filled with people.
Newspaper photographers, who
were early on the scene, and other
investigators broughth«k word that
the supposed figure nip* only a spot
left by last nfght's heafy rain; but up
to an early hour gazers on Pennsyl
vania avenue still insisted they could
see the figure move.
! Th© war department:, waica con- \
trols tbe monument. wa3 besieged j
with telephone calls.
Nearly three hours after the flr3t ,
explanation a telephone me33age from
the capltel said that congressmen
were watching the spot through opera
glasses, and were convinced it occa
sionally moved a little.
Has No Jurisdiction.
One of Representative Kahn's Cali
fornia constituents wrote to him not
long ago inclosing blue prints of a de
vice he had thought up for “scrutini*
Ing heavenly bodies," aa he put It,
He wished to havo an appropriation
of a million dollars or so from con
gress to perfect hla device, so that tho
humblest cltlsen could know Just
what Is going on In Mars and various
celestial points.
Kahn didn't like to offend the man
with a flat refusal of congress to a>
propriate this money, and he put It t*
him like this:
“We have gone over the situation
carefully, and the best lawyers among
ua are of the opinion that we can do
nothing for the reason that congress
has no Jurisdiction over heavenly
bodies."
