sMiss Whitaker, a prominent , club woman of Savannah, Ga., tells how she was entirely cured of ovarian troubles by the use Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 DEAR MRS. PINKHAM :-I heartily recommend Lydia ID. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as Uterine Tonic and Regulator. I suffered for four years with irregularities and Uterine troubles. No one but those who have experienced this dreadful agony can form any idea of the physi- cal and mental misery those endure who are thus afflicted. Your Vege- table Compound cured me within three months. was fully restored to health and strength, and now my periods are regular and painless. What a blessing it is to be able to obtain such remedy when so many doctors fail to help you. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is better than any doctor or medicine I ever had. Very truly yours, MIss EASY WHITAKER, GOA 39th St., w. Savannah, Ga."- s5oo0 forfeit Yoriginai of oboue letter pyouing genuneness cannot produced
 The testimonials which we are constantly publishing from grateful women prove beyond 8 doubt the power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to conquer female diseases.

a bamboo cage, slung after the fash
ION OF knapsack, and thus reports ere
sent back without the necessity of their
leaving their post of observation. For
great distances two birds may be flown
with the same dispatch. but this is
seldom required, the usual custom be-
ing to repeat each message on subse-
quent birds, so that the final pigeon
liberated would not only carry its own.
but also a copy of messages sent by
the birds first liberated.
1t must be understood that the flight
OF the pigeon would be seriously inn
peded were 1t to be burdened with any
great weight and consequently dis
patches are written on specially pre-
pared slips of rice paper. These con-
trary to the general impression, are not
tied round the birds neck but are
rolled and placed in a celluliod holder.
fastened by two clips to the bird s
leg, and are thus carried close under
the tail of the bird when it is in flight.
The total weight of this carrier, which
is manufactured by a Belgian firm, is
under four grams.
The speed of the pigeon is another
point which may be easily misunder-
stood. Although it is true that under
certain circumstances a pigeon will fly
$500 yards a minute, or nearly eighty
iiIliSo al HOuIs yet InlS is only accom-
pllshed under exceptionally favorable
conditions; 1,400 yards minute, or fif-
ty miles an hour, being a fairer aver
age. This, however, must not be TAX
en- to mean that the pigeon normally
flies the distance between two places
nifty miles apart in an hour, as owing
to its not flying in an absolutely
straight line it would probably take
seventy-five minutes to accomplish the
distance. For this reason forty miles
an hour is the speed usually credited to
the birds. Distances up to 300 miles
1t would cover at the same rate, but
above that the average would often be
much lower owing to the birds not
being able to fly after dark. When
ever possible they are liberated at such
an hour as enables them to regain their
loft upon the same day, the risk of
capture and the dispatch falling into
the enemy's hands being then reduced
to minimum.
