An eminent physician says that
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician." This statement
should be qualifed; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to u
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ord cal
to delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with un-
married women.
Is 1t any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pink ham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
30 that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou utfer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise You free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring in.

EXPERIENCE SPOKE FOR HIM,

When Horace started to school he
most all winter, consequently he had
come to regard his nose as the very
keystone Of his existence. He was
still doing some pretty tall smiling

The lesson with which he was In
troduced to the life studions dealt
with that complex and incompre-
hensible subject, Boy" The teach,
er, being a woman possessed OF an
analytical mind, believed in getting
right down to first principles. She
not only taught the component parts
of the word boy" but bewildered
Horace with sundry questions con
cerning the boy himself. She tweaked
Horace's ears, gouged his eyes and
made sportive jabs at his lips and
mouth, inquiring the while what tho
various organs indicated were called
and what were their functions.
Horace, in spite Of his nervousness,
acquitted himself creditably, and he
would probably have got off with "A
plus" if the teacher had let his nose
alone. Unfortunately she attacked the
offending proboscis and asked:
And what is this called?"
"By dose" gaspcd Horace. thickly.
And what is it for?" she persisted.
And Horace, imbued with an hon
esty born of innocence and long suf
fering, straightway responded:

Effects of Prosperity.

In the six years of the country's
greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1908,
average prices of breadStuffs advanced
G5 per cent; meats, 231 per cent;
dairy and garden products, 50l per
cent, and clothing OIL. All these were
products of the farmer and stockman,
who protited more than any other class
of the community by these advances.
The miner benefited 42.1 per cent by
that advance in the average price OF
metals. The only decrease in the aver
age prices of commodities in that pc
riod was in railway freight rates, which
decreased from 79S per ton-mlle in
1897 to .7G3 in 1908 loss of "A per
