MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE
LvsfIa e. Pinkhan,,S
Vegetable Compound

The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant. not because it
is palliative, but simply because 1t is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured. trained nurses. who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue OF
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of themwould acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect a cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
DR.. S. c. Brigham, of 4 Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass, writes:
at gives me great pleasure to say that I
have found Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound very efficacious, and often pre-
scribe it in my practice for female difficulties.
"My Oldest daughter found it very benefi-
cial for uterine trouble some time ago, and my
youngest daughter is now taking it for a fe-
male weakness, and is surely gaining in health
and strength.
tIfreely advocate it as a most reliable spe-
cifc in all diseases to which women are SUBJ
ject, and give it honest endorsement"

o THE BEEF TRUST.
The Machinery of Justice Works
Very Slowly Under Repub-
lican Management.

The National Proyisioner publishes
an article, Facts About the Beef
Trust the writer of which claims that
he is a competitor Of the trust. Unlike
other competitors, who are now clam
oring for equal rights to all" he would
have US believe that the combine is a
self-sacriicing concern and worthy OF
all rraise instead of condemnation and
prosecution. This defender and advo-
cate of the beef trust declares the Gar
field report to be one of ''the ~fairest,
most ~far-reaching, impartial n I'M
prejudiced statements" ever made.
That this idea of the report is not
shared by the newspapers of the coun-
try seems to considerably worry the
author of Facts About the Beef Trust
for he says:
lone would think that after the Gar
field report the p~enny-a-liners would
subside, but no, they keep it up. Their
policy is throw all the dirt you can and
some of it will besure to stick. Were
| they to drop the beef trust how could
they fill their papers with sensational
matter?"
The public who feel they are being
swindled at both ends of the business
methods of the trust, are even more
anxious to see 1.-The machinery of JUS
tice'' grind out the grist than the news
papers are. The farmers and stock
| growers believe they are not getting a
fair price for their cattle and hogs and
an enormous price for beef which they
believe to be unreasonable Then the
federal court believed from the evidence
produced that the packers, known as the
trust, have combined together to re-
duce the price they would pay for cattle
and to raise the price the.trust sells its
beef for. Furthermore the FEDERAL grand
jury has indicted the packers, on the evil
dence brought before it. and it is quite
probable if the prosecution is followed
up vigorously that the beef barons may
yet be serving time in striped clothes.
When all the Facts About the Beef
Trust are disclosed, their wicked COM
bination to rob the farmers and despoil
the beef eating public will be made
plain. That the administration has
favored the trust by giving it a virtual
monopoly through the government in
spection will have to be investigated
and attended to by congress. If there is
to be any advantage it should be the
competitors of the trust that should be
favored.
The beef trust and other monopolies
have such a hold on the republican par
ty that it is impossible to expect much
relief. The good old democratic doctrine
of equal rights o all and special priv
ileges to none is the only way this gov
eminent should be run to do justice to
all the people.

BREAD-AND-BUTTER DUTY.
Certain Letters and Calls Obligatory
on Guest to Show Appreciation
Of Accepted Courtesies.

The "bread-and-but letter. is the
note of acknowledgment written by one
to his hostess after a visit. Inc
''bread-and butter call is the cal
which one pays after having been en-
tertained at dinner or luncheon or at
any other regular meal. Plenty of
persons know the thing who do not rec
ognize the name for it. A good many
persons apparently do not appreciate
the necessity of either the letter or
the call, remarks Success Magazine.
Perhaps it is a little harsh to say
that this is one of the ways in which
a well-bred person can be distinguished
from an underbred man or woman.
Such a distinction throws too many
persons who are otherwise all they
should be into the outer darkness of
the ill-bred. There are depressingly
few who do not belong to one class or
the other.
Nearly everyone, however, unless he
be an impossible sort of creature, ac-
knowledges that the bread-and-butter
letter is indispensable. Most trans
gressions in this line are found in the
delays that are shown in writing. The
first thing a guest should do after his
return from a visit is to write his note
of appreciation to the friends by whom
he has just been entertained. Often
the guest seems to think that any
time within a month or so will an
swer for it. That is the way in
which it occasionally about that
the note is never written, and that the
qlondam visitor puts himself down as
hopelessly underbred.
Sinners Of this sort are few COM
pared with those who neglect their
luncheon or dinner calls. Busy WON.
en- are often remiss in this respect, but
they are angels of light when on
trasted with men.
1t is abominably rude when anyone,
man or woman, is 40 lacking in a sense
of society obligation as to accept an
invitation, and then, from laziness or
indifference, neglect to pay a call after
wards. Allowances may be made for
the very much overworked man OF
woman who seldom has a spare hour
to give to such things-or to anything
else, but the ordinary luncher or diner
out should feel 1t a breach Of decency
to accept an invitation and then omit
the call that should follow.

STRONGER THAN E A
A Judges Opinion Of Grape-Nuts.

-- rH"a|. tH
A gentleman who has acquired a
judicial turn Of mind from expert
ence on the bench out in the Sunfower
State, writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts
as food: He says:
For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in u
bill Of fare.
"The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an ~indispensa-
BILE necessity in my family's everyday
life.
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled lis to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from Jul table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition-as a preventive Of
disease 1t is beyond value. / have been
particularly impressed by. the bene-
fetal effects Of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
"As to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
p%erience is that one small dish Of
~Grape-lJuts is superior to a pound Of
meat for breakfast, which Is an i'm
portant consideration for anyone. It
satisfies the appetite and strengthens
the power Of resisting fatigue, while
Its use involves none of the disagree
able consequences that sometimes fol-
low a meat breakfast" Name given

Three repetitions of the design at

peating the bow below the flowers for
the sides, and the flowers the other

CHAPTER XIV.
LADUE'S LAST RETREAT.

- 49,
In the two great days that followed
there was little to do for the little left
of the Iron Brigade. Sore-hearted over
the loss of SO many cherished COM
rades, yet confident that their valor
had not been vain, the survivors hung
silently to their assigned position, and
awaited developments.
And, when the morrow came, Benton
was early in saddle and away to the
left of the line. He vas bitter and
chafed in spirit over his wrongs. He
realized that under existing conditions
nothing more than half-hearted ac-
acknowledgement of error could be looked
for, but he had determined that the
moment things settled down and the
department had time to attend to
something besides the momeDtous af-
fairs of the nation. he would demand
justice. And now both Wadsworth
and Doubleday had spoken in heartiest
praise of his behavior throughout that
heroic battle of the first day. So far
SO good. What he longed for, on one
hand, was a chance TO square accounts
with McKinnon. What he hoped for,
on another, was opportunity to teach
that disdainful girl how deeply she
had wronged, a well as affronted,
him.
He would have known better had he
had time to analyze the chagrin and
pain and jealousy which possessed him
all the long hours that followed his
morning talk with some staff COM
rades Of the Second corps. 1t Seems
that three days before, on the 29t4a Of
June, while they of the Second were
pushing cautiously northward through
Maryland, they we're made aware that
a column Of cavalry was passing
around them from the south, and that
while they we're swinging through
Uniontown the cavalry were t~rottine
through Westminster, only FIVE miles
from their flank. "Gregg's division, Of

HINTS ON GOOD BREEDING
It Is the Small Things That Show
Whether One Has or Has Not
Been Gently Reared.

Ones ailments are never matters Of
public interest, and ones troubles an
noy those whom they do not sadden,
tersely remarks Mrs. Burton Kings
land, in Success Magazine.
Guests should not allow their hosts
to incur needless expense on their be-
half. When visiting city friends they
should pay their own cab hires, car
fares, express charges and telephone
tolls, if messages are sent at long dis
tances, but, ii the host will not per-
init, it is in better taste to yield the
point than to prolong a discussion.
In order that children may learn
politeness, they must be treated with
CONGRATULATED when they do little
services, and spoken to in a controlled
voice when reprimanded. Above all
else, parents and elders must treat one
another with well-bred p%oliteness be-
fore them, for children are very imita-
tive little creatures.
The behavior of father and mother
toward each other sets an example that
will probably serve as the standard of
conduct in the households of which
the children in their turn will be the
heads.
1t is no longer customary at the
tables of those socially well-placed to
serve the hostess first. 1t is an old
fashion, a survival of the times when
for the hosts to taste wine or food
first was the assurance to the guests
that it was not poisoned.
At church weddings every woman,
including the bride, should wear a hat
unless she wears a veil. This is ac-
cording to custom and precedent.
In well-regulated households nc call
er is ever told at the door that the
servant will see whether the mistress
is at home or not" Instructions to
that effect should be given in advance
so that a callers time may not be
wasted in such investigation.
In going upstairs a woman is given
precedence by a man, but in descend
ing a staircase he goes first, to avoid
the risk of stepping upon her gown,
or, in ease of a misstep, to afford her
support.
In nothing does a girl show herself
underlined so much as when lacking in
respect and Difference to her mother,
except when such affront is offeEed to
her father. If such a one had the gift
of seeing herself as others see her, she
would feel nothing but disgust.
1t is very bad form rot to return q
first call, unless the caller be a really
Objectionable person to know. But the
first call returned, none other need
follow and the acquaintance may be
allowed to drop. For the person, how
ever, who makes the first call, not to
make a second after the former one
has been courteously returned would
be i~ndefensible unless for some very
cogent reason. Why begin an &C.
quaintance only to drop it?
