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:-It 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. I had leucorrhea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until I could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"Itook medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when 1 read your advertisement in a
paper. 1 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 ]
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
:" I 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 a 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.

Rich Men and the War.

The Locomotive Firemen's Maya
zine" for July contains an editorial at
tack on American colleges for their
unpatriotism in the present war. The
charge is that the rich men whose
sons attend these colleges are opposed
TO the war, and, by their patronage,
control the attitude of the faculty. This
simply shows the ease Of proving that
the whole world is decaying whenever
something rotten is discovered in a cor
ner Of Denmark. True, there has been
lukeWarmness in our colleges during
the present crisis, but that is charge
able, not to any improper capitalistic
influence, but to the ultra scholastic,
IalSsez faire attitude of mind that
largely dominates higher educational
institutions as legacy from the Eng

philosophy of a half-century ago. Rich
men s sons form only small percent
age Of the total number of college stu
dents, and moreover the rich men Of
the country themselves have, as a
class, been supporters of the war. many

Spinsterhood has been robbed of its

The years slipped along without bring
ing any need of a sure-enough trousseau,
and last month the thirty-five-year limit
was reached. AS it happened, almost at
the same time the girl accepted an excel

cago. Then the father proved himself a
man of his word. and announced that he
intended buying that trousseau. He took
his daughter up to St. Paul, and for two
weeks life was one riotous flutter of silks
and cloths and baby ribbon and lace.

issued to the intimate friends of the fam
lily for an elaborate dinner dance. True

Pater-familias came to the front with a
check to be used in furnishing the girl

did not seem at all depressed by the fact
that she was attending a wake over the
corpse of her matrimonial possibilities,
and everything went off with great gusto.

tons raised were, first, Dan a consist
bic legally claim circular milage for
executing a warrant and serving the
subpoena, ard; second, can he recov-
er fifty cents for subpoernaing each
Witness Judge Wickham, who
wrote the opinion in the case, decided
that the plaintiff is only entitled TO
be paid mileage one way at the rats
Of ten cents mile, and that fer ser
wing a subpoena the constable may
for each person named in the process
and actually served, legally charge
fifty cents.
The court said: "To hold that the
officer shall be given only the same
fee in every cose for serving the
parties named in the subpoena would
produce inequality and injustice, snd
often subject him TO the temptation
to shirk the full performance OF his
duty. Practically he serves the writ
every time he reads it to a witness
The trouble and labor is the same es
if he has separate subpoena for each
person named" In this case iudg
ment WAS entered for the plaintiff
