AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. w. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-1t is with
pleasure that / add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
AFTER the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. l had leucorrhBa badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until | could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
Il took medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. ! was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when l read your advertisement in
paper. l sent at once for bottle of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle felt so much better that l
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
81 think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass

A SUCCESSFUL FIGHT.
Battle with Fire Fought and Won In Car
bon, County, Wyo.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Oct. Especial
Agent Abbott of the interior depart
ment has returned from Carbon coun,
ty, where he was engaged for three
weeks in fighting forest fires along
west side of Bald mountain, the east
and west sides of the Platte valley,

creek, the forks of the encampment
river and around Battle lake.
Mr.. Abbott's force consisted of q
large number of ranchmen who voiun-
teered for the work, and 20 men whom
he hired. The country where some of
the fires were burning is rough and
mountainous, and it was necessary tc
use pack animals to reach it.
With great difficulty the varioun
fires were put out, and their ravages
confined to a comparatively small
area. Had the fire on Bald mountain
crossed to the east side of the noun
tain, a tract of magnificent timber %
miles long would have been destroyed
The department of the interior au-
thorized Mr.. Abbott to spare no eX
pense in extinguishing the Carbon
county fires. From where he was
working. Mr.. Abbott states, that the
immense fires around Hahn's peak,
Col, could be plainly seen. The Colo

MISSOURI STATE NEWS
The Zinc Ore Boom.

Zinc ore has taken another jump,
advancing from $50 to S33 per ton,
coming within 81 of the highest price
on record. Never since the discovery
of zinc in southwest Missouri have the
prices of this ore continued at such
figures as for the past month, rang
ing, as they have, from $50 to S34 per
ton for ore in the bin. The present. adj
vance is attributed to the increasing
demands for zinc ore, which aus
sharp competition among buyers for
the various smelters. The high prices
maintained give a great stimulus to
mining, the profits of which are so
largely increased. New mines are be-
ing opened all over the district, and
many old abandoned mines are again
being worked.
