Miss NJ. CARTRIDGE gives some
helpful advice to young girls.
Her letter is but one of thou
sands which prove that nothing
is so helpful to young girls who
are just arriving at the period of
womanhood as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound.
"DEAR Mrs. PNKHAM 81 cannot
praise Lydia f.. Pinlxham's Vege-
table Compound too highly, for it
is the only medicine l ever tried which
cured me. I suffered much from my
first menstrual period, felt SO weak
and dizzy at times l could not pursue
ny studies with the usual interest.
My thoughts became sluggish, | had
headaches, bacl1aches and sinking
spells, also pains in the back and lower
limbs. In fact, was sick all over.
Finally, after many other remedies
had been tried, we were advised to get
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, and am pleased to say
that after taking it only two weeks,
wonderful change for the better took
place, and in a short time was in
perfect health felt buoyant, full of
life, and found all work a pastime. L
am indeed glad to tell my experience
with Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, for it made diff
ferent girl of me. Yours very truly,

Fire Monday Nleht.

A good part of our population
was aroused Monday night about
1 O'Clock, caused by the burning
of two small cottages near the Oil
Mill. One of these was owned
and occupied by John Allen, and
the other was owned by S. W.
Hoskins and occupied by G. E.
Henderson and family. The fire
started from some unknown cause
in the house occupied by the Hen
derson's and the flames we're
bursting through the ceiling near
the chimney in the room occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Henderson,
when they awoke and discovered
their danger. They barely had
time to save two trunks of cloth
ing and a sewing machine before
the whole building was enveIoped
in flames. Mr.. Aliens house,
which stood close by, caught from
this, but a good many articles
we're saved out of it.
Mr.. Allen had $3.50 insurance
with the Underwriters Agency
on his house and $3.50 on his fur
niture, and Mr.. Hoskins had $500
insurance on his building. Mr..
Henderson and family carried no
insurance, and all their household
articles burned we're a complete
loss. Mrs. j. ID. McDavitt, who
was making her home with her
daughter, Mrs. Henderson, also
lost several articles of value.
