Probably the brightest visiting offender
Of the inning was Samuel NichOi, who

FIBROID TUMOR
Expelled by Lydia E. Pinkhana's

Interview With Mrs. b. A. Lombard.

have reason to think that I would
not be here now if it had not been for
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. It cured me of a fbroid tumor
in my womb.
Doctors could donothing for me, and
they could not cure me at the hospital.
I will tell you about it:
had been in my usual health, but
had worked quite hard. When my
monthly period came on, I flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the
TOW must be stopped if possible, and
he must find the aus of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was a Fibroid Tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time a lady
called on me, and recommended Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
said she owed her life to it.
said I would try it, and did. Soon
after the flow became more natural and
regular. I still continued taking the
Compound for some time. Then the
doctor made an examination again,
and found everything all right. The
'tumor had passed away and that dull
ache was gone.-MRs. B. A. LOMBARD,

way stations where wheat Is shipped
IRE found more than the most C
sary buildings, such as one or two gen.
eral stores, bakeries and smithies. and.
very much to the disappointment OF
the buyers of station lots, there seem
no disposition to build country towns
or create any local industries. except
for the making of simple agricultural
implements. and there are no local CEN
ters or markets.
Land being very plentiful, and very
easy to work in the Argentine Republic,
Il family usually take up from 80 to
400 acres. and cultivate as much as
they can. The land is bought sometimes
for cash, OF more usually to be paid for
by installments spread over four or sew
J Ell years; or is rented by yearly ten
ancy; but under a very general and
most convenient arrangement land
owners are almost always willing to
have their land worked by any decent
cOlOnist ION shares" receiving from 8
up TO 80 per cent. of the product of ev-
cry crop according to the facilities Civ
en- to the tenant, and this system of
working on shares is by far the most
usual, and seems to be suited to the
present state of the country.
If the tenant is a poor man the land
owner may build the very simple mud
house that shelters the family and also
supply bullocks. plows, seed and sup
plies until the first harvest. and the
landlord then takes 80 per cent of the
crop. but if only the use of land is given
s to 10 per cent. of the produce goes to
the landowner as rent; his proportion
is naturally larger on land that is in a
specially favorable position. If the
crop is II failure, the tenant may skip,
having lost a year, but the landowner
has had his land broken up. and is con.
tent to put that advantage against his
money loss.
Good land. situated conveniently near
to Il railway station and within 100
miles of n port, may be valued at fl
$50, gold) per acre. and the farm can be
