a GOOD THING
For Women to Remember.

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham they
are communicating with a wOman-a
woman whose experience in treating
wOman's ills IS greater than that of any
living physician-male or female.
A woman can talk freely 10 woman
when it is revolving to relate her private
troubles to a man-beSides man does not
understand-simply because he is man.
Many women suffer In silence and drift
along from bad to worse, knowing full
well that they should have immediate as
sistance, but natural modesty impels
them to shrink from eXrOSing themselves
to the questions and probable eXamina-
tiOnS of even their family physician. 1t
is unnecessary. Without money or price
you can consult a woman, whose knowl-
edge from actual experience is greater
than any local physician living.
The following invitation is freely Of
fered; accept it in the same spirit.
Women suffering from any form of fe-
male weakness are invited to freely COM
municate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass. All letters are received, opened,
read and answered by women only, thus
has been established the eternal conf
dence between Mrs. PiDkham and the
women Of America which has never been
broken and has induced more than 100.
600 sufferers to write her for advice dur
ing the last four months. 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 except your good will, and her ad-
vice has relieved thousands. Surely any
woman, rich or poor, is very foolish If she
does not take advantage of this generous
offer of assistance.-Lydia L. Pinkham

China,s Wonderful Paeoda..

No more Interesting monument to the
skill of the ancient architects is to be
found than are the wonderful pagodas
of China. The most remarkabl Of these
structures, the porcelain tower Of Nam
king, was destroyed during the TAPPING
rebellion of 1853, but there are some re-
naming that present equally curious
features. They are very old, no records
showing exactly when they were built.
There is as much difference of opinion
as to the purpose Of the builders as
there is concerning their age. Some
writer's assert they were intended as
watch-towers in time Of war. But the
most probable theory is that they were
of Indian origin, and were introduced
by the priests of Buddha as recep-
tacle for holy relics, such as thumbs,
fingers, toes or any other portions Of
their god which might be found from
time to time.

York lawyer, and as soon as young
Woolworth left Hamilton College he
began the study of law under the pre-
ceptorship of his father. AS early as
1856 left Syracuse, n. Y, and went
to Omaha. He was the first City At
torney of Omaha, and has steadfastly
devoted himself to the pursuit Of his
profession, declining all temptations to
wander into political fields foreign to
the law. He was admitted to practice
before the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States in 1862, and since that time
lie has argued more cases before that
court than any lawyer west of Chicago.
Apart from law books, Mr.. WoolwOrth's
studies have been wide and varied. His
essays, addresses and lectures on gen
eral subjects show his great versatility
and comprehensiveness Of mind. In
1919 Racine College conferred upon
him the degree of LII. d. In 1892 the
University of Nebraska made him
l.. ii. D., and in 1890 he was given the
degree of d. G. L. by Trinity Univer-
sity of Toronto. He has laid by a snug
fortune from his earnings, and is
large part of the backbone Of the citi-
zenship Of Omaha.

Fast Freight REEFS.

The 3. 4 U. S. W. has been making
records on quick despatch freight within
the past week or two. Two trains, one
weighing 49, and the other 734 tons, ran
from Cincinnati to Parkersburg, 200
miles, in hours and minutes and 3
hours and minutes, respectively. The
run from st. Louis to Cincinnati, $40
miles, was made in 16 hours. Consider
ing that some of the grades exceeded one
per cent, the performance ranks with the
best on record and demonstrates that the
track and motive power of the B. & o.
