The annual farmers field day at the
University of Maine came off Wednes-
day. 1t is estimated that 1900 people
were on the grounds at noon. Every
building was open to the inspection Of
the visitors and the various professors
explained the workings of the different
departments to them. These field
days cannot fail of being of great ad-
vantage to farmers, as they give them a
glimpse of the methods of scientific
farming which they can put to practical
use

The Daughters of the American Revo-
luton show that their patriotism is of
the practical sort, as was that of their
ancestors who helped along the cause of
liberty, either as patriots or soldiers.
AT their April meeting they placed the
national society at the service of the
government, and organized Daughters
of the American Revolution hospital
corps which has met with marked sue
cess. At the May meeting the national
board of management, realizing that a
large amount of money would be needed
for special demands from sickness and
other causes, passed resolutions to the
effect that the members unite at once in
general effort to suceor needy families
of men who have gone to the front, and
to furnish comforts for soldiers and
Sailors, whether regulars or volunteers,
and that fund for emergencies, such as
are attendant upon the conditions Of a
nation engaged in war, be raised at once.

EsOiled Down,

An amusing story is told of the editor of
go-ahead evening newspaper, who, IN the
eternal rushing 70 press to get ahead of the
opposition, was constantly impresslng upon
his reporters the necessity of condenslng all
news.
4 terrible boiler explosion had taken place
on board big ship lying at Portsmouth:

lao from London bridge you'll be there
soon after two, and you can just wire us
something for the extra special-but boil it

YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in adj
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 SUI tfering.
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 co.,
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 22O
Horner ST., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel it nv
duty to tell all suffering women that I
shink your remedies are wonderful. l
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, 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. can eat and
sleep we'll and am gaining in flesh. l
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 ailine
women during single year.
