Yellowstone Park. There is no place like it
in the world. You will be astonished at what
you see and learn there. A months outing
in those mountains 1900 feet above the sea
level, in an atmosphere pure and invigor-
ating, would add years to your life. There
are four modern hotels, good roads-main-
tanned by the .. S. Government-for rid
pack i trains. Geysers, Canyons, mud springs,
lakes, cataracts and cascades in large num-
bers, are crowded into space 81 by 81
miles in size. II you can afford it, you
wrong yourself by not going there, especi-
ally if you are a patriotic American. If
you cannot afford it, then go to beautiful
Leech Lake in Minnesota, q new and popu-
lar resort. New hotels, fine fishing and
hunting, and good boating at reasonable
rates. Send Chas. S. Fee, of Northern
Pacific Railway, St. Paul, Mimi, six cents

YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in ad.
vanced years are realized by compare
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all COM
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor.
Gus health in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is letter from Mrs. J. c. Orms, of 220
Horner st., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
"DEAR MRS. P1NKHAM:-I feel it my
duty to tell all suffering women that
think your remedies are wonderful. +
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
we'll, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies I am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. I can eat and
sleep we'll and am gaining in flesh. I
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred Thousand ailing
women during q single year.

Caucasus Tribe Which Lives in Indescrlb.
able and Anticipated Filth.
The LATEST and dirtiest people in thu
world have recently been discovered
in the Caucasus. They live in an in,
accessible mountain range between the
Black sea and the Caspian sea, and
as they were $500 years ago, so they
are today. Seen from without there
is certain picturesGueness about a
SvaDctial village, although it merely
consists Of miserable stone novels
without any attempt at form or adorn-
ment. Within the houses are incon-
ceivably filthy. They are filled with
rags, vermin and dirt of every descrip-
ton. They possess no fireplace or
chimney. All the cooking, in fact.
is done over hole scooped out in the
middle OF the floor. In these houses
men and women and children are
huddled together; during the long
winter months they are shut in for
days at time, the cattle often sharing
their quarters. Every aperture has to
be closed on account Of the cold. This
long imprisonment is, perhaps, the
cause OF the degradation Of the people
Horrible diseases result from it, which.
are aggravated by abnormal tonsump-
ton Of arrack. the strong distilled
drink of the Asiatics. Besides this,
it is an invariable rule to make four
days a week holidays, with saints
days as extras. Since they have adopt-
ed the holidays of every other coun-
try With which they have been in con-
tact, it is not surprisinHthat the men
find little time for work Farming,
