"DEAR FRIEND-Two years ago had
child-bed fever and womb trouble in
its worse form. For eight months after
birth of babe / was not able to sit up.
Doctors treated me, but with no help.
I had bearing down pains, burning in
stomach, kidney and bladder trouble
and my back was so stiff and sore, the
right ovary was badly affected and
everything I ate distressed me, and
there was a bad discharge.
I was confined to my bed when I
wrote to you for advice and followed
your directions faithfully, taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, Liver Pills and using the Wash,
and am now able to do the most of my
homework. 1 believe I should have
died if it had not been for your Com

of any kind received advice that made
them strong, useful women again.

on how the Frisco people tried to

shipping in material over the dutchin-

track in town. Both roads were racing
to see which could enter Blackwell first

The Frisco had done no grading: simply
laid the track. The track is now under

TO DELIVER PACKAGES.
Express Company Puts the Auto
mobile to Practical Use.

Washington, July 27.-The automobile is
no longer merely a means of pleasure, for
the wealthy: It has been introduced IN
and today, for the first time, packages
were sent about the city by an express
tricity.
The first use of the automobile was to
deliver a package at the White House.
This city has been selected by the com
pany as the place best adapted for the
general use of the automobile. The smooth
streets offer advantages for such a serv--
ice to be found in no other place, and
within a comparatively short time it is
expected that there will be twenty-five
automobiles in daily use here by an ex
press company. This is less than the
number of wagons now used by the COM
pany, it being calculated that auto
mobile will do more work than the old
time delivery wagon drawn by horses.

Indiana Man Has Preparation That
Keeps It From Melting.

Anderson, Ind, July 27.-Everett Revan
of this city celebrated the hottest day of
the year by making application for letters

preparation with which to coat ice and
keep it from melting. He claims to have
made the discovery at last. and exhibits
three blocks of ice which have been sub
jected to the heat for three months and
have not decreased in size.
The preparation is a white liquid which
is poured over the ice. It has no odor
and an analysis of the ingredients does
not reveal anything poisonous. 1t can
not be seen on the ice, but it keeps OF
the hot waves and makes the ice almost
as staple an article as rock. Bevan is in
the ice business.
