Thousands of American women, how.
ever, have foundrelief from all monthly
suffering by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, as it is the most
thorough female regulator known to
medical science. 1t cures the condition
which causes so much discomfort and
robs m~enstruation of its terrors.
Miss Irene Crosby, of 313 Charlton
Street East Savannah, Ca, writes:
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound

tailed description is unnecessary. Such
an arrangement al be made about 40
inches wide and whatever length Is
desirable. | presume, however, that
10 or 70 feet is quite sufficient. Two
Dy-four posts are used at either cor
ner. If each of these is made 40
inches in height, and the bottom Is
SO placed that it is about Is inches

On the inside of the rack | have placed
some slanting cleats which keep tine

tending to prevent waste, besides keep
ing much of the chaff out of the wool
of the sheep. l think that anyone
who has such a rack as this will find
it very satisfactory.

FOOD PRICE Is UP.
COST OF FATABLEs RISES FAST
Err THAN WAGES.
Statistics of Labor Bureau Show Slight
Loss to Consumer in Year-Hours
shorter and Pay Is
Higher.

Washihgton.-You are working under
shorter hours, you are getting slight
ly more pay, you are paying more for
your necessaries Of life, and in a gen.
sral way you are a trife behind your
condition of a year ago. You are not
very much behind, but still you are be-
hind, and the general upward tendency
Of the cost of living is more rapid than
the general tendency Of wage increase.
This is the conclusion drawn by the
United States bureau of labor from the
reports of several thousand experts that
have been employed in collecting the
statistics of wages and food in the United
States.
These reports of the bureau of labor
have been regarded as reliable since the
introduction of the methods of Carroll
D. Wright. They may be summarized
as follows:
"In 1904, as compared with the aver
age for the ten years from 1890 to 1889,
25.7 per cent. more persons were m
ployed, hours of labor per week had been
reduced Al per cent, wages per hour
had increased II per cent, weekly earn
lngs per employe had increased 1872 per
cent, weekly earnings Of all persons en-
ployed had increased Al per cent, retail
prices of food had increased Ill per
cent, the wages of one hour would pur-
chase AZ per cent. more food and the
earnings of q week would purchase 4
per cent. more food.
I'm 1904, as compared with 1908, the
toatl number of employees decreased 6
per cent, the hours of labor decreased
Z per cent; wages per hour increased
6 per cent; weekly earnings per en-
ploye decreased i per cent. The total
weekly earnings of all employees de-
creased 8 per cent; retail prices of food
increased 1.3 per cent; the wages of one
hour would purchase Z per cent. less
food and the earnings per employe in a
week would purchase Ia per cent. less
food
In speaking of the high price of food
the report says that the estimated yield
If Irish potatoes in the United States
was 247, 127, $3.50 bushels in 1903, against
1872, 800, 300 in 1904, but that the increased
production did not prevent an increased
price. In many localities the price was
practically double the price of 1903.
The articles that marked the creates
difference in price between 1908 and
1904 are flour and lard. The average
price of flour in 1904 was 1874 per cent
higher than the average price in 1903
The average price of lard in 1904 was
7.39 per cent. lower than the average
in 1903.
Of the 80 articles included in the com
pilation made by the bureau of labor, L
show an advance and Is a decline. Dut
it should not be supposed that the Il
articles showing a decline offset the 1!
articles that show an advance because
those articles that have advanced il
price more largely enter into consump
ton.

PASSING PERSONALS.

Miss Grace Barstow, of San Fran
cisco, is the only woman violin-maker
in the United States, c.1d probably IN
the world. Moreover, she is a fine
performer on the instruments of her
own making. She is experimenting
with native redwood as a base bar.
A famous Adirondack guide, in the
days when the mountain region was a

the region began to be visited.

Mrs. w. S. Pratt, of Atlanta, Ca,
is said to be the only woman south OF
Chicago in the lumber trade. When
the firm by whom she was employed
went out of business without losing a

she is head Of a firm handling loo

Henniker Heaton, who has done SO
much for the cheapening OF postal
communication in Great Britain, urges
the formation Of a league to make the
penny post universal. It Is, ne says,
absurd to charge twopence-halfpenny

when a letter to Canada can pass
through New York for a penny.

sATHTUB FOR HOGS.
Cement Trough in Which the An
imals Can Wallow Will Prove
of Great Value.

Lately we visited the farm of n
OIL the leading hog raisers of south
eastern Iowa. Among other improve
ments we notice a ement hog wallow
that was about a foot deep and six or
seven feet square. This could be filled
with water from an underground pipe
leading from a tank on a hill, and
Gould be emptied into a tile drain by
removing a plug in the bottom. This
was done twice each week, and tine
wallow disinfected with crude carbolic
acid.
The idea of a bath tub for hogs will
sound ridiculous to some readers, but
We are sure that a little consideration
viii convince the most prejudiced that
a clean place in which to wallow is
fine for hog health.
Those who favor the mud-hole say
that 1t is natural for the hog to cover
himself with mud and water; and that
when a thing is natural it is not detrl-
mental to health. They tell us that
the hog is a non-sweating animal, and
hat the only means he has of cool
ing himself is in the wallow; and il
the wallow is not provided he must
suffer from the heat.
The argument looks well in print,
but we hardly think it al stand in
vestigation. Admitting that it is nat
ural for the hog to wallow, does not
prove that he should wallow in a
Serm-infested mud-hole to maintain
his health. The present-day hog il
the result of a great deal of cross
breeding, the object of which was tc
change the shape and much Of the
nature Of the primitive hog. Our do.
INVESTIGATED hog, declares the Farm
Field and Fireside, would die if hi
were placed in the hauntS of the wild
hog, and expected to live as did thu
primitive wild hog, because he has
been bred away from the nature ant
habits Of the wild animal.
Though it is true that he needs wa
ter to cool his body, he needs, leas
OF all things, the filthy wallow II
which breed all manner Of germ enc
mics. He needs water-pure, cleal
waler-to cool his body On the sum
mer afternoons. Give him the choice
of a dirty wallow or a trough filled
with clean water, and four times GU
of five he will take the latter. W.
are sure that the cement wallow-
the hath-tub-like the one above de
scribed, will soon become one of tn
fixtures of the up-to-date hog yard.

CHRONIC ERYSIPELAS
Cured by Or. Williams Pink Pills
Although Whole Body was
Affected.

Erysipelas or St. Anthony's fire is a
most uncomfortable disease on account
of the burning, the pain and the dis
figurement it is also a very grave dis
order, attended always by the danger of
involving vital organs i'll its spread.
The case which follows will be read
with great interest by all sufferers as it
affected the whole body, and refused to
yield to the remedies prescribed by the
physician employed. Mrs. Ida A. Col.
bath, who was the victim of the attack,
residing at No. 10 Winter street, New
buryport, Mass, says:
elm June of 1908 I was taken i'll with
what at first appeared to be a fever. l
sent for a physician who pronounced my
disease chronic erysipelas and said it
would be a long time before l got well.
inflammation began on my face and
spread all over my body. My eyes were
swollen and seemed bullying out of their
sockets. l was i'll a terrible plight and
suffered the most intense pain through
out my body. The doctor said my
case was a very severe one. Under
his treatment, however, the inf1amma-
ton did not diminish and the pains
which shot through my body increased
in severity. After being two months UNI
der his care, without any improvement, I
dismissed him.
"Shortly after this, on the advice of a
friend, I began to take DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, two at a dose
three times a day. After the second box
had been used | was surprised to notice
that the inflammation was going down
and that the pains which used to cause
me SO much agony had disappeared. At
ter using six boxes of the pills I was up
and around the house attending to my
household duties, as well as ever"

The Erie Railroad has arranged for the
immediate expenditure Of $225,D0 for The
installation of the most modern and ct
ticient railway signal that has yet been
put on the market. 1t is known as the
Hall Electric Semaphore Normal Clear
System, and is operated by stationary stor-
age batteries. The line between Bergen,
n. j., and Middletown, a distance of 6S
miles, is to be equipped at once. For
the first 80 miles, the signals will be put
two-thirds of a mile apart; for the rest
Of the distance, about one and one-third
miles apart. 1t will require five power
plants for charging the batteries, which
will be located at Rutherford junction,
Ridgewood Junction, Suffern, Oxford and
Middletown. The line to be protected has
two and four tracks at different places,
and is the most congested part of the Erie
System. Hitherto a manual block, which
is a tower with signals operated by a
towerman, has been used as a block pro-
lection, but it has been deemed best to
install! an automatic system for further
protection, and to accelerate the move
ment of trains. The new system will be
extended over the entire line in the future,

Six Doctors Failed.

South Bend, Ind, Sept. 25th (Special).
After suffering from Kidney Disease for
three years; after taking treatment from
six different doctors without getting
relief Mr.. j. 0. Laudeman, of this place,
found not only relief, but a speedy and
complete cure in Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Speaking of his cure; Mr.. Laudeman says:
Eyes, | suffered from Kidney Trouble
for three years. and tried six doctors to no
GOOD. Then I took just two boxes of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and they not only
cured my kidneys, but gave me better
health in general. Of course | recon-
mended Dodd's Kidney Pills to others,
and / know a number now who are using
them with good results"
Mr.. Laudeman's case is not an excep-
ton. Thousands give similar expert
enccs. For there never yet was a case
Of Kidney Trouble from Backache to
Bright's disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills
could not cure. They are the only rem
edy that ever cured Bright's Disease.
