Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound saved my life and gave back
a loving mother to eleven children,
which was more than any doctor could
have done or any other medicine in
the wide world. My trouble was child
bed fever. The third day after my
babe was born | took a chill, which
was followed by high fever would
perspire until my clothes were as wet
as though dipped in a tub of water.
The chills and fever kept up for three
days. Ny daughter got me a bottle Of
your Compound. The fourth dose
stopped the chills, and the fever also
disappeared. My life was saved. My
age at this critical time was forty
nine. LYDIA +. BOUCHER. Etna. Pa.

Farmers Institute.

A fair sized and appreciative aud
fence is being ageeeably entertained
at the opera house today, a large turn
out OF farmers being in attendance.
The occasion is most interesting
and enjoyable event to the farmers of
this section and vicinity in particular
and the citizens OF Ritzville generally.
It is the first farmers institute ever
held in Adams county, and the series
Of lectures begun this morning at 10
o'clock are interesting and instructive
to all. The program thus far has been
carried out as previously announced.
This afternoon forcible and enjoy.
able address was delivered by Hon. d.
Buchanan which drew the thoughtful
attention of all present.
As the institute opened on our
press day it is impossible for us to
give the desired write-up in this issue
OF the meeting, which is OF so much
importance to this part Of Eastern
Washington. The program COM
mencing at 10 o'clock tomorrow, is as
follows:
10 q. m.-"Care of the horses teeth"
s. B. Nelson; II a. m.-"The grass
problem" w. ]. Spillman; 1:30 p. m.
.-"Care Of the horses foot" s. B.
Nelson; 2:30 p. m.-"Wheat culture"
w. J. Spillman.
The local committee, consisting of
Hon. w. X. Kennedy, A. s. Newland
and J. G. Bennett, have been untiring
in their efforts to make the affair a
success and the benefit derived from
such gathering is largely due to
their efficient and enthusiastic work.
1t is possible the association may
NEE, here again in the coming June
when the weather is SO pleasant and
the farmers have more spare time and
would undoubtedly all put in appear
ance at that seasonable time OF the
year. However, the goodly number
in attendance now is very encourage
ing and it is to be hoped that the
state agricultural college may deem it
advantageous to send its representa-
tives to Adams county every year.
