There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examine

write freely about her daughter or
herself to n Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without

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 MIRA
Pinkham's great medicine for regu-
lating woman's peculiar monthly
troubles.

quite the reverse. This prejudice may
arise from the fact that demonstration

suggest novelties or to please the de-

They Are Dangerous Be-
cause Hard to Cure.
VERY LIKELY TO LAST ALL
WINTER.
We Know Something that Cures All
Pulmonary Troubles.
IT OUR GREAT TONIC RECON-
STRUCT0R, vlN0L.

There seems to be an epidemic of
colds.
1t is strange how many people start
in with cold that they have con-
tracted during the autumn months.
Such colds are dangerous, for unless
cured when the weather is warm it is
very difficult to get rid of them when
really inclement weather appears.
Do not, if you have a cold, go through
this winter and let it pull you down. A
racking cough may be the means of I'M
dermining your constitution, terminal
ing in consumption, when there will be
no hope for escape.
Cod-Liver Oil has always been the
greatest known specific for consump-
ton. Naturally Cod-Liver Oil has been
given for colds which are regarded by
many people as the first stage of this
disease. There is no need of our tell
ing you the drawbacks of Cod-Liver
Oil; the vile, greasy mixture was SO re-
pellent that not more than one person
In ten could take it. But CodLiver
Oil did cure where it could be taken
Now we have cod-liver oil prepare
ton that cures just as surely as did
this vile remedy. We refer to Vinol.
Anybody can take Vinol. 1t tastes de-
licious, and because it contains the
active curative principles that made
Cod Liver Oil famous as the specific for
consumption and other wasting dis
eases, it will be readily seen how valu-
able it is for all such troubles.
Here is one letter taken from many
that are continually coming to our
notice. Mrs. E. Coghlan, 122 Putnam
Ave, Cambridgeport, Mass, says:
Last September l contracted
heavy cold which terminated with ton
silitis, and later the grip. All winter
had dreadful cough, and the doctor
advised me to take several things,
among them CodLiver Oil. :, l tried it
for several months without obtaining
relief. At last | heard of Vinol and
gave it trial. Five bottles cured me
and | have had no troubles since"
When we talk of Vinol, we
know of what we speak, and will
refund your money if you are not
satisfied.

NEWPORT. r. l.. Aug. 1o.-Boat for

manner to WndWard and return in an
elghteen-knct breeze The new Herreshoff
racer, in form, did wonderfully well. but
the result was not altogether satisfac
tory as test of relative speed because
fifteen minutes after the start the Coium-
bla suffered a miShap which cost her all
OF hVe minutes in time, and in the iude-
ment OF most good yachtsmen, the race.
Her powsprlt shroudS were found to be
too long. AS the wind freshened and she
lay over at big angle, the big stick
Whlch they supported buckled danger
ously so that it was necessary to llJff bar
into the wind to take in the slack of the

gear was useless for some minutes while
she was jumping in the seas and she
paved about almost helpless Repairs
were made with remarkable skill and
speed and she was sent away again. but
well astern of her rival, for the Consti-
luton mad passed her and taken com
manding position in the weather bow of
the unfortunate boat. The Constitution
rounded the outer mark two minutes
anead, having gained in elapsed time
2:l4 in the hfteen-rnile beat to windward
On the run in, which was made with
spinnakers and balloon jibs, the new boat
came like race horse and made a gain
of 1:55 more. Both boats were handled
admirably, and, barring the accident to
the Columbia, it was a grand race, at
times bordering on the sensational Both

WINONA, Mimi, Aug 10.-(Special.)-
Great interest is being manifested by
golfers throughout the state in the COM
ing state championship tournament to be
held here Aug. %, 90 and 81
Golf mas been played for some years in
this state and the game is gaining
ground every day. There are some Jins
arisen that would give a chance to
demonstrate who is the best player in
the state. That question Will be settled
Aug. 81, and the player who wins the
championship and the beautiful cup
enbiematic of the same will surely have
something to be proud of: This trophy
is a sterling silver prize loving cup, with
a golf scene in colored enamel on one
side. 1t is valued at SIPS and is one of
the finest cups ever given as a prize
in the Northwest. There are four other
cups given, as may be noted in the pro-
gTamme and prize list below. These
cups are valued in proportion to the
prize cup, and are worth winning When
once won they become the personal prop
erty of the winner and are not played
for a number of times as most club
cups are. Besides these cups, special
prizes will be given, such as cut glass,
silverware, golf clubs, etc. A. G. Spauld-
ing & Bro. and the Crawford, McGregor,
Candy company have donated some of
these special prizes The Spaulding
company were very much pleased 10
learn of the proposed tournament and
the organization of a state association,
and to show their interest in the mat
ter, not only donated prize this year,
but have made a proposition to donate
a prize cup or trophy next year 1t IL
to be known as the "Spaulding trophy"
and is to be contested for at each annual
tournament of the Minnesota State
Golf association. 1t will no doubt be
something beautiful and valuable
One of the best features of the meeting
to be held here, beside the pleasure of
the contest, is the organization of the
state association. This is something
Minnesota has never had and Is some
for the advancement of the game.
Nearly all of our sister states have their
associations, and their tournaments are
annual events to look forward to.
In organizing here all golf clubs
throughout the state have been asked to
elect two delegates and to have them at
tend and help organize a state associa-
tion. The meeting will be an open one,
but organization by delegates will be the
best and quickest method Of formation
Winena has the reputation Of having
fine links, and it is to be hoped that this
reputation will be sustained when the
visiting strangers are among us. The
course is a nine-hole one, and is 2 200
yards in length stream of water
flows through the GROUNDS which makes
one of the finest hazards ina ginabIe In
