STOP, WOMENl

And Consider the A1l-Im portant.F act
That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you
are confiding your private. ills to q
woman-a woman whose experience in
treating woman's diseases is greater
than that of any living physician-male
or female.
You can talk freely to a woman when
it is revolving to relate your private
troubles to a man; besides, man does
not understands simply because he is a
man.
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse, knowing
full well that they ought to have imme-
date assistance, but natural modesty
impels them to shrink from exposing
themselves to the questions and proba-
bly, examinations of even their family
physician. 1t is unnecessary. Without
money or price you can consult wom-
an whose knowledge from actual eXpe-
rience is greater than any local physi-
clan in the world. The following invi-
tation is freely offered; accept it in the
same spirit:
Mrs. Finkhan's Standing Invitation.
Women suffering from any form Of
female weakness are invited to prompt
" communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken.
Out of the vast volume of experience
which she has to draw from, it is more
than possible that she has gained the
very knowledge that will help your
case. She asks nothing in return ex-
cept your good will, and her advice has
relieved thousands. Surely, any wom-
an, rich or poor, is very foolish if she
does not take advantage of this gener-
Gus offer of assistance.-Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co., Lynn Mass.

Here is a conglomerate specimen Of
verse which is ready for the postman of

"'Tis st. Valentines Day, and you will not

If send you with my dearest love golden

apart,
And when you count them one by one, you'll
know you have my heart.
An amusing story is told of st. Valen-
tines youth who went on a serenading ex-
petition to his charmer's house. His effu-
sion to the saint was most affecting. 1t
began:

Oh, pray she be not cold to me as are
the frosty skies,
That I may see her turn on me one sweet

st. Valentines Day.
An ancient tradition exists that birds
choose their mates on st. Valentines day,
and the pretty poetic fancy which might
well be reality-that being the first in
timation of the spring season-was caught
at eagerly by lovers and poets and the
golden age of ommemoration begun.

good saint would have shunned, have. been

FACTS ABOUT RAlLRoADTRAvEL
What 1t Costs to Carry Passenger
on Western Roads

What 1t Costs to Carry PASSENGER
on Western Roads.
There is a surprising amount of mis-
information among the people regarding
the cost of carrying passengers on rail-
road trains and to this condition of the
public mind is doubtless due much of the
sentiment in favor of lower rates, which
is finding expression through bills for
sweeping reductions in the Legislatures
of many of the Western States this win
ter.
Mr.. eP. S. Eustis, General Passenger
Agent of the c., B. & Q. R. r., in an argu-
ment before the Hosse Committee of the
Missouri Legislature last week on the
two-cent bill, gave some valuable and
surprising information about the passen-
ger business in the West. His statements
were based upon the reports of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and the Rail
road and Warehouse Commission of Mis-
souri,, and are therefore beyond question.
Mr.. Eustis showed in the first place that
the volume of passenger traffic on rail-
roads is dependent upon the density and
wealth Of population iny the territory
through which it runs, and then compared
the population of Missouri and the traffic
resulting from it with the same figures
in other States, thus clearly illustrating
the theory of his point
The following table showing the relative
population and rates is interesting in this
connections:

Mr.. Eustis made the statement that,
while the named rate in most of the West
ern States was three cents per mile, the
actual amount received is considerably
less than that sum. This is due to the
fact that the railroad having a long line
between two points cannot charge more
than the rate fixed by a road having q
shorter line, and to excursion rates de-
manded by the people, all Of which re-
duce the average rate materially.
But the most surprising assertion made
by Mr.. Eustis was that the Western
roads, with possibly one or two individual
exceptions, carry passengers at an actual
loss. The st. Louis, Keokuk and North
western was cited as an instance. Mr..
Eustis produced a statement of the ex-
pense on that road to show that the cost
per passenger per mile exceeded three
cents, the legal rate.
The report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission referring to the railroads of
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
that part of the Dakotas and Missouri
lying east Of the Missouri river shows that
it cost the railroads two and three one
thousandths cents per mile to carry pas
sengers, exclusive of any charge for taxes,
rents, interest on mortgages and other
items of the kind Mr.. Eustis declared
that two-cent fiat rate in Missouri would
reduce the average to one and three-quar-
tiers cents, if not lower.
1t was shown that lower rates do not
largely increase traffic, and instances were
cited where reductions from four cents
and three and one-half cents per mile did
not result in increased travel.
Answering the question as to whether
rates in Europe were not lower than in
this country, Mr.. Eustis showed that
while the third-class rate on Fome Eu-
'ropean lines is lower, the second-class
rates, which are paid by the great travel
ing public, are higher than American
rates. The conveniences of second and
third-clas travel in Europe are not to be
compared with those of America in point
of comfort and convenience.

By the breaking Of wheel the rear ear
OF an excursion train on the Maine Central
railroad was thrown from the track near
Etna camp ground last week. This coach
became detached from the car ahead of it,
jumped the embankment, and turned bot
tom up in the ditch. One man was killed
and several were badly injured. There
was a wild scramble among the frightened
and bewildered people to get out, and
nearly all those slightly hurt had cuts from
broken glass. Those seriously hurt were
crushed by the weight OF people over them.
