Over one hundred thousand cases Of

ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been go
ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking

Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con-
fidence of women. and every testimo-
NAL letter published is done SO with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs Fred SeydOl, Of 4l2 North saith

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
cover year ago wrote you letter asking
advice, as had female ills and could not
carry a child 10 maturity. l received your
kind letter OF instructions and followed your
Edvice. am not only a we'll woman in con-
sequence but have BEAUTIFUL baby girl |
wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as you have done 80
much for me-"
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured, will Lydia L. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form Of
female ills.
No other medicine in all the world
has such a record of cures OF female
troubles as has Lydia Il. Pinkham's

prudent woman will accept any substi-
tute which druggist may offer.

of new administration in state affairs
were many prominent men and they
came from all parts of Michigan, but
non of them-not even the distinguish
cd Senator Burrows himself, received a
more general or more cordial greeting,
than was accorded William Alden
smith. The senatorship was on every
mans lips and the manly course of the
fifth districts representative in refus-
ing to stand as a candidate for Mr.. Bur-
rows place was freely discussed. The
long public service of Senator Burrows
has put lines on his face that were not
there when he first went to congress
and it is doubtful il he asks for another
term. In fact, his friends will be
gratified if he lives to complete the
term for which he has just been re-
elected. When the time comes for a
new man to represent Michigan in the
United States senate the fifth district
will not stand alone in its desire to see
it's brilliant young congressman sue
ceed to the important position.-Port-

Use for YOUNG TURKEYS.

1t has been demonstrated that the
turkey is fine destroyer of the boil
weevil, the tobacco worm and the to-
mato worm. They get fat on that
sort of diet and keep so with bit of
grain thrown in once in a while and
attention to their sleeping quarters.
The boil weevil gets busy in the
spring, and so do the young turkeys.
The tomato worms are about the fields
at the time the young birds are most
jealous in satisfying an appetite that
has no bounds. The boil weevil and

three floors and lots of rooms. l should

Eli Perkins, who lectured in the

that he had twenty years ago. Eli is

which captivated his audiences quar-

with the audiences of today. Many of
his stories and jokes are of the ante
diluvium character and been told so
many times that they have an odor not
unlike musty chestnut. Mr.. Perkins

lecturer for more than thirty years and
Father Time has left his imprint very
