The letter of Miss Merkley,
whose picture is printed above,
proves beyond question that
thousands OF cases OF inflamma.
ton of the Ovaries and womb
are annually cured by the use OF
Lydia 3. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
DEAR MRS. PNKHAM 49, Gradual
loss Of strengths and nerve force told
me something was radically wrong
with me. had Severe shooting pains
through the pelvic organs, cramps and
extreme irritation compelled me to
seek medical advice. The doctor said
that had ovarian trouble and ulcera-
ton, and advised an operation. /
strongly objected to this and decided
to try Lydia E.gPinkhamss Vege-
table Compound. soon found that
my Judgment was correct, and that all
the good things said about this medi-
cine were true, and day by day felt
less pain and increased appetite. The
liberation soon healed, and the other
complications disappeared, and in
eleven weeks was once more strong
and vigorous and perfectly well.
My heartiest thanks are sent to
you for the great good you have done
me- Sincerely yours, MISS MAReAEEr

CURES CATARRH
"fiyomei the Most Wonderful Cure for
Catarrh Ever Discovered, say
Wood Bros.

. Do not try to cure catarrh by
taking drugs into the stomach;
it cannot be cured in that man
ner. The only way in which
this too common disease can be
cured is through direct appli-
cation that will kill the bacllli
of catarrh and prevent their
growth.
Hy omei is the only known
met hod of treatment that &C
complishes this. 1t is the sim m.
plest, most pleasant. and the
only absolute cure that has ev-
er been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited tes-
timonials have been received
from the most prominent men
and women in the country who
have been cured by this remark
able remedy. Ministers, bank
ers, lawyers, even eminent ply
sicians have given strong testi-
lnonials as to the remarka BILE
powers af Hyomei to cure Ca
tarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit
costs but $1.00 consisting Of an
i Inhaler, dropper and sufficient
Hyomei to last Several weeks.
This will effect a cure in ordi-
airy cases, but for chronic and
deep-seated cases of catarrh,
longer use may be necessary,
and then extra bottles of Hy-
omei can be obtained for SOC. 1t
is not alone the best Git might be
called the only) method of cur
ing catarrh, but it is also the
most economical.
Wood Bros. have so much
con tidence in the power of Hyo.
mel to cure catarrh, that they
will for a limited time, sell this
medicine under their personal
guarantee to refund the money
if the purchasers can say that
t did not help them.

MiSsOuri'S S Corn Exhibit.

The piece de resistance OF
Mi ssouri's agricultural exhibit
typifying the States superiori-
ty in the production of corn is
the Corn Temple, an adoption
of the Pantheon at Rome, loca-
ted in the central nave reserved
for special exhibits in the Pal
ace of Agriculture. Not only is
every variety Of corn in Missou-
ri used in the temple. but inside
may be seen corn produced by
every country in the world and
every State in the Union. Each
variety of the alien product is
in a separate compartment,
properly labeled.
One thousand bushels OF Mis-
souri, corn was used in the
structure. In its mural deCora-
tions the Corn Temple tells an
epic on Missouri's diversity of
product ions by representations
of cattle, hogs and other live
stock, made of varicolored corn.
The cathedral windows of the
temple are translucent and
made of corn shucks and sor-
ghum sticks.

Quit Milking.

The Cooperville boys are tell

that Joe is all right, he's a good
fellow, but he's setting up a

'CideS. y

If one kills himself he is
called a suicide; if he kills a
brother he is he is called a
fraticide; if he kills some one
of no kin to him he is home
eide, but if he kills his own
town by sending away to buy
things that he ought to buy at
home he becomes the entire lot
of "cides'' mixed into one. We
wonder if people who contlnu-
ally buy goods away from home
ever think of the tendency of
this nefarious practice. They
are helping to kill the town in
which they live by destroying
it's business, and lowering the
price of it's real estate and
driving out it's population.
Enough people engaged in this
business will depopulate any
town in short time.-EXcel-

"A Heaven Born Banner.

stars and stripes. There are
flag days and all sorts of days
we celebrate in one fashion or
another. but when the Fourth
of July gets within reaching
distance, then we realize that
the day OF days is at hand.
That is why the star spangled
banner is in the minds Of every
body.
The orators with silver
tongues have told and the poets
have sung about all that is
great and glorious regarding
the old flag. SO much for patri-
Otism. Really, the flag is a
very prosdic bt netit, apart from
the sentiment that attaches to
it. Thousands and thousands
of people gain their living from
one years end to another, in
making United States flags.
Think of it. Every year, the
people Of the United States buy
three millions of flags. During
that same period a million
flags disappear. Nobody knows
where they go to.
The American flag has jus:
passed its one hundred and
4wenty-eightb birthday. The
patched up affair that Betsey
Ross gave to the world at the
time of the revolutionary war
has been reproduced millions of
times. Yet the only change
from the design that the expert
fingers OF Mrs. Ross prepared
is in the number Of stars. It is
just the same flag in appear
ance Sthat decorated the hall in
which the first congress of the
United States met. 1t is finer
flag now IN point of material,
and almost any sort can be
bought that one is willing to
paw for, but whether it be silk
or paper, it is the stars and
stripes, the idol of the people,
whose lame increases with the
addition of every star.
And all the time we think of
he poetry and prose of the
dag. 1t any reader of these
ines has ever visited foreign
country, has been a stranger in
some far away place over the
ocean he may remember the
ceiling of Joy, of pride, al
most rapture that came to him
yhen he first saw the stars and
tripes floating over the con
ulate.
The writer remembers some
ears ago walking down the

was no longer the flag of the
free. Aud yet there is not one
OF those who make the remarks
referred to who would not fight
10 a minute for that same flag
if any Oue beside an American
citizen spoke against it.
A singular fact concerning
the American flag and the peo.
pie over whom it floats is that
with all reverence for it they
are dreadfully irreverent with
it. The flag is something to be
Cheered and saluted and honor
ed in every way, but when it is
worn out it is cast aside and d
new one substituted. Nobody
knows and nobody Cares where
the WON out ones go to. SUI
fcient to the day is the fact
that they have served their
purpose.
This by no means refers to
the tattle flags. No, indeed.
II there are only three inches of
red, white and blue, and a sin.
gle star remaining attached to
the staff of such a banner, the
people think infinitely more OF
it than they would of the finest
thirty.foot flag that was ever
m ade. The poor old rent and
tattered banners all have a
m Gaming. This is history, trag
edy, romance and sometimes
hu NOR among the memories of
the dear old relics. Let any
one who doubts that pay Wis
it to the state house at Hart
ford, Conn, that staid old town
where it used TO be against the
law for man to kiss his wife
on Sunday.
Hard-featured old farmers
come in and view the cases
where the flags are located and
and presently, If one cares to
wa tch, there will be distinct ev-
licences of moisture and the dew
on the grass of a June morning
was never more delightful than
the dew of patriotism that real
~ springs from the heart of the
American citizen, where he be
old and hard-teatured or in the
flush of youth.
When we wake up on a
Fourth of July morning, those
OF us who have passed beyond
the delightful time of 4 a. IN,
and tirecrackers, we are often
disposed to make sundry and
pointed remarks about the noise
that we hear. But when we
gather ourselves together and
get to the window and look
out; when we see on the nearest
fla gstatf the stars and stripes,
brilliant sand beautiful as the
debutante in the first flush of
social success, we forget about
the noise. We only remember
tn at we are citizens OF the
gre attest republicthe world ever
knew, and we know that any
disturbance we may hear is in
honor of that flag which Is
floating above us. We are proud
Of it.
And tnen, as the day grows
apace and all that it means is
borne in upon us, the words of
& genius come back to us and we
say to ourselves that nature
h erselG shows us that the Unit -
ed States will never be sunder-
ed, France has the lily, Eng
land the rose, Scotland has the
thistle. Ireland has the sham
