Good Judges Americans as judges are keenly dis criminating. They measure everything by the success it attains, which meth od, considered in the light of the com mon ' experience of mankind, is cer tainly not a bad. one. The high stand ard of intelligence and discernment in this country, where education is the rule and not the exception, renders it difficult and surprising to find a general national success not based on actuaLftbe worth. Hence it was that with the presentation of St. Jacobs Oil they cor rectly judged it at once, and decided that rare intrinsic worth only could be the Bource of its success. The decision with them was equivalent to an adop tion; and it is a rare thing to find a family without St. Jacobs Oil in the house. - Not"the Same. : "I suppose you have been pinched by penury?"

WASH. HZ- MANY NEW "HELLO" JOBS OPEN FOR WOMEN Railways Are to Use Phone if Place of Telegraph After March I. OPEEATOES TO BE LET OTJT. Block Signals Also Will Be In stalled ' and Llany Small Stations Closed. A new field of employment for wom en is to be opened by the railways. This does not mean that the roads will employ women telegraphers, but on tha contrary their employment will be for the purpose of taking the place of tele graphers already In the service. The future woman railway operating em ploye will be engaged at the smaller stations takjng train orders over a tele phone, where formerly such orders were transmitted and received by telegraph. This new field will be open to women when the new nine-hour day law gov erning the working time of railway telegraphers goes Into effect on March 1. It was confidently expected that this law would work a revolution In railway operation, and It was with this end In view that the Order of Railway Tele graphers procured Its passage despite the determined opposition of the rail way managers and even against advice direct from the White House. The lev olution Is coming, all right, but It will bo a revolution which will relegate the telegraph to a back seat as an adjunct to railway operation and will throw thousands of operators out of employ ment nd annually will decrease their number until they will almost disap pear from American railways. It was expected that the reduction In the working hours of railway tele graphers to nine hours would compel the railroads to employ at least 8,000 additional men at once. It was also known that It would be Impossible to secure this number of men when need ed, and It was therefore hoped by the men that an Increase In wages would be a part of the revolution planned. Changes to Result. The railway managers at first took a similar view of the situation, but It 6oon was discovered that it would bo Impossible to supply the demand If all existing telegraph offices were to be maintained after March 1. As a re sult of a careful study of the situation the nine-hour day for telegraphers will bring about the following changes: 1. The abandonment of all stations as telegraph stations except division headquarters and junctional points. 2. The substitution of teelphones fox receipt and the transmission of or ders and messages. - 8. The employment of women as agents in many stations thus trans formed into telephone stations. 4. The transaction of a tremendous amount of office business by letter which formerly was transacted by tele graph. 5. The rapid extension of the auto matic electric block signal system, which will make telegraph stations un necessary. In determining to Inaugurate these changes the railway managers found that they had In reality been preparing for them for years. It was discovered also that by adopting the most expen sive system of block signaling train orders and telegraph stations could for the greater part be done away with. The railroads, therefore, decided tha; they would rather spend millions In providing and maintaining automatic block signals which never go to sleep and which never fall unless they spell "danger," than to spend the same money' In maintaining telegraph sta tions and telegraph operators. The closing of stations as telegraph stations Is made possible by the fact that with an automatic electric signal all that Is neoessary Is to start trains as fast as the terminal block is empty and keep them going until a semaphore says "stop." Snrsreon's Knlfe Cores Headache. After suffering excruciating paina in hU head for twenty-five years, Louis Wolf son of Cincinnati has secured relief by having the surgeons cut out two nerves. The pain was above the eyes and at the temples and recurred four or five times a week. He bad consulted the leading specialists, tried medicines, various forms of massage and electrical treatment in vain. The two offending nerves, one on each side, were between one and two Inches long and about as thick as a pin. They are termed sensory nerves that Is, nerves which give the sense of feeling and not control of the movements of mus cles. The headaches have not returned since the operation. Local surgeons say this is the first case of the kind on record. Bonds Find Ready Market.

In supplying that demand with Its excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success. That Is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna Is given the preference by the Well informed.

When this life stream is flowing through the system la a state ol purity and rkhnesa we are assured of perfect aud uninterrupted health t because pure blood is nature's 8 af e-guard against disease. When, however, the body Is fed on weak, Impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived of its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in varioua ways. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skia affections ehow that the blood is in a feverish and diseased conauion as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers ara the result of morbid, unhealthy matter ia the blood, and Rheumatism, Ca tarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains. These impurities and poisons find their way into the blood ia various ways. Often a sluggish, inactive condition of the system, and torpid state of the avenues of bodily waste, leaves the refuse and waste matters to sour and form uric and other acids, which are takes up by the blood and distributed throughout the circulation. Coming ia contact with contagious diseases is another cause for tho poisoning of the blood ; we also breathe the germs and microbes of Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood ia pufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Soma are so unfortunate as to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old constitutional disease of ancestors is handed down to them and they ara constantly annoyed and troubled with it. Bad blood is the source of ell dis ease, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and purified the body is sure to suffer ia some way. For blood troubles of any character S. S.

It goes down into the circulation and removes any and all poisons, supplies the healthful properties it needs, and comtletelv PURELY VEGETABLE slightest trace of the trouble for future outbreaks.
