When Grover Cleveland was presi-
dent a young woman from Cleveland,
who had been a schoolmate of the
Presidents wife, was a guest at the
White House. A matter of large pub.
tic moment was up for the presidents
decision, and Mrs. Cleveland and her
guest brought it up for discussion at
the breakfast table.
Their views were of the radical.
persuasive order. and were quite en-
phatically expressed. Mr.. Cleveland
listened with an amused smile behind
his newspaper. Finally the girl from
Ohio said to him:
Now, Mr.. President, you have
heard our views. Are you prepared to
indorse them?"
The president folded his paper and
arose.
You girls" he said. with a smile
"can beat me all to pieces in millinery
and dressmaking. But when it comes
to my end of the house, l feel under
obligations to do my own thinking."-

Mrs: Anna potts

Frequent backache and distressing
pains. accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular
and scanty menstruation indicate a dis
placement or nerve degeneration of
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women
is how can a oma who has some fe-
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts, of $40 Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark. writes:
Nv Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"During the early part Of my married Gfe1
was delicate in health both my husband and
l were very anxious for a child to bless our
home. but l had two miscarriageS, and could
not carry a child to maturity. A neignbor
who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound advised me to try it. /
did 50 and soon felt that was growing
stronger. my headaches and backaches left
me, l had no more bearingdown pains, and
felt like a new woman. Within q year /
became the mother of a strong, healthy
child, the joy of our home. Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is certainly a
splendid remedy, and / wish every woman
who wants to become q mother would try It."
Actual sterility in woman is very
rare. If any woman thinks she is ster-
lie. let her try Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and write to Mrs.
Hnkham. Lynn. Mass. Her advice is

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, hut because
each package contains 16 oz.-One full

Starches are put up in A-pound pack

cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem

a 1907. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to

also primers illustrated with excellent
