Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation-
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell. and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs.
Pinkham's great medicine for regu-
lating woman's peculiar monthly
troubles.

Recent Examinations Show How Diff
fcuIt the Natives Find 1t.

The Civil Service Commission received a
letter yesterday from the Philippine Civil
Service Board, dated April 19. in which
1t is stated that the board had just fin
ished holding examinations in the Philip
pines, in which there were nearly 900 com
petitors. The examinations were held in
Manila and also in Iloilo and Cebu. Those
who came up for competition made up a
very cosmopolitan assemblage. there be-
ing in the COMPANY Americans, English
men. Germans, Frenchmen, Chinese,
Japanese, Filipinos, etc
The examinations were conducted in
both English and Spanish, and everything
went off very smoothly. The Civil Service
Board states that the Fiipinos were, if
anything. more careful than the Amerl-
cans in the mechanical details relating to
the examination sheets. such as filling in
the examination numbers, noting time of
commencement, etc. The papers are be-
ing rated in Manila and the results will
be determined at an early date. It is
stated that many Fnipinos will doubtless
be appointed to the service as a result
Of their examinations.
All Of the temporary employees in the
service were also given an examination,
and many of them will have to vacate their
positions, as soon as the papers are rated,
tained. Several of them have already
left for home and others are seeking ac-
commodations for early departure for the
United States. Most of these took the
matter philosophically, as they knew
there was nothing else to do. as the Taft
Commission was determined not to keep
anyone who could not demonstrate his
competency by passing the examination
The FIipinos are rapidly learning the
English language, and are demonstrating
exceptional ability In clerical work How
ever, some Of their efforts TO use big
English words are amusing as will be
evidenced by the following which is taken
from a letter written the Civil Service
Board by a competitor who was detected
using helps in the examination:
My dear sir and my utmost distinguished con-
sideTatiOn:
In the examinations held at the Calle Lemory
y. 525. on the y OF instant occurred to the
undersigned the following:

animation sheet, asked Mr.. Albert permission
to go out little while from the examination
room, the said Mr.. Albert with lmiability which
Is very peculiar to him. granted me such per
