to grow some new bones and things on
his insides, after he rode the bucking
broncho. a man gave me the prettiest
little animal you ever saw, sort OF
white and black, about the size of q
cat, and took 1t to the room, and
put 1t under the bed, In box the man
gave me. Dad had gone to bed, and
was snoring SO you could cut 1t with

skunk all the time; now, tell me, didn't

was fool to take 1t, when you knew
what a skunk will do"
"Yes, thought 1t was a skunk all
right" said the boy, "but the man told
me the animal had been vaccinated and
wouldn't ever make any trouble for
anyone, and he would warrant 1t.
thought q warranted skunk was all
right, and so went to bed in q cot
next to dads bed. guess 1t was about
daylight, when skunks want to suck
eggs, that he began to scratch the box
and squeak, and I was afraid 1t would
wake dad up, so reached down and
took the cover on the box. From that
very identical moment the trouble be-
gan. Dad heard something In the room
and he rose up in bed, and the animal
sat ON the foot Of the bed and looked
at dad. Dad said: 'Scat!" and threw
a pillow at my pet, and then all was

quilt over my head, and dad went into
a closet, where my snakes and things
were, and the vaccinated skunk kept
on doing the same as he did to dad,
and l thought should die. Dad heard
my snake rattle hisself in the box, and
he stepped on my prairie dog and yelled

scratched dads bare feet, and a young
eagle had began to screech. and dad
began to have a fit. He said the air

Down at Hot Springs, Ark, the Wis
1t Is subject of remark that the great
majority of them have some trouble
with stomach and bowels. This may
be partly attributed to the heavy med
icines.
Naturally, under the conditions, the
question of food is very prominent.
A young man states that he lad suf-
fered for nine years from stomach and
bowel trouble, had two operations
which did not cure, and was at last
threatened with appendicitis.
He went to Hot Springs for rheum-
.atism, and his stomach trouble got
worse. One day at breakfast the wait
er, knowing his condition, suggested
he try Grape-Nuts and cream, which
he did. and found the food agreed with
him perfectly.
After the second day he began to
sleeI peacefully at night, different than
he had for years. The perfect diges-
ton OF the food quieted his nervous
system and made sleep possible.
He says: ''The next morning was
astonished to find my condition of con-
stipation had disappeared could not
believe 1t true after suffering for SO
many years: then I took more inter-
est in the food. read the little book
The Road to MELVILLE, and started
following the simple directions.

in the last Eve weeks I have gained

At the New York State Assembly OF
Mothers, prominent New York doctor
told the 500 women present that healthy
American women were so rare as to be
almost extinct.
This seems to be q sweeping state
ment of the condition of American
women. Yet how many do you know
who are perfectly well and do not have
some trouble arising from derange-
ment of the female organism which
manifests itself in headaches, back
aches, nervousness, that bcaring-down
feeling. painful or irregular menstrua-
ton, leucorrh1a, displacement of the
uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or
sleeplessness There is a tried and
true remedy for all these ailments.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has restored more American
women to health than all other reme-
dies in the world. 1t regulates,
strengthens and cures diseases of the
female organism as nothing else can.
For thirty years 1t has been curing
the worst forms of female COM
plants.
Such testimony as the following
should be convincing.
Mrs. T. c. Willadsen. of Manning,
Ia, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
~ can truly say that you have saved my life
and cannot express my gratitude to you in
words. For two years spent lots OF money
in doctoring without any benefit for mem
struai Irregularities and I had given up all
hopes of ever being well again, but / was
persuaded to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegc-
table Compound and three bottles have re-
stored me to perfect health. Had 1t not been
for you would have been in my grave
to-day"

floor the queerest animal the old man
and the cat had ever seen. The cat
got up on the counter on a pile Of
brown wrapping paper. curved It's
back and permeyowed. and the strange
animal jumped into half barrel Of

it is, out of them apples" said the old
groceryman. picking up a fire poker.
What is 1t, and where did 1t come
from, and when did you get back, and
why didn't you stay away, and what
do you want in here, anyway" and the
old man eyed the animal and the bad

bilked by the other.
That's q prairie dog from Texas, IL

said the boy, as he took the prairie dog
up and put him on the counter near the
cat. Dad Is all right. only we were

old man pushed the cats back down
