"DEAR MRS PINKHAM Il cannot
praise Lydia Il. Pinlxham's Vege-

is the only medicine l ever tried which
cured me. l suffered much from my

headaches, backaches and sinking

Congress May Establish Na.
tionaI Park In State.

Congressman Fred G. Stevens, of st.
Paul, who is a member of the congress
sional committee on the national mill
tary park system, says that it may be
possible to include in an omnibus park
bill a provision for the creation of a
national part at Fort Ridgley in the
Minnesota river valley.
Five parks have been established by
the national government to commem-
crate historic events. These are at
Antietam, Gettysburg, Chickamauga,
Chattanooga, Vicksburg and Shiloh.
1t is now proposed to establish a new
park commission which shall succeed
to the supervision and control of all
the parks created and maintained by
government expense, and which will
extend the system to include a number
OF other places that have history weav-
ed about their associations
Congressman Stevens says that some
twenty-five different bills are pending,
providing for the creating of addi-
tlonal military parks, and he has hopes
that Fort Ridgley may be included in
the omnibus bill. If this is done, suit
able roads will be built and the bat
tieneld appropriately marked at ma
tlonal expense. There is a general
movement in national circles looking
TO a perpetuation of the memory of
Warllke deeds and patriotic acts, and
