Nm SN|ShNAV she can write to

fcS F%~~deG pathy for her
@.RSk sick sisters, and
above all, a woman who has had
more experience in treating female Ills
than any living person. j.
Over one hundred thousand cases OF
female diseases come before MRS. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been 60
ing on for twenty years, day. after day.
Surely women are wise In seeking
advice from a woman of such expert
ence, especially when 1t Is absolutely
free.
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
NAV be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel, of 412 North saith
Street, West philadelphia, Pa, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Over a year ago wrote you letter asking
advice, as I had female Ills and could not
carry child to maturity. received your
kind letter Of instructions and followed your
| advice, I am not only well 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 SO
much for me.h
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured, will Lydia e. 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 e. Pinkham'
Vegetable Compound. Therefore NJ
prudent woman will accept any substi
tute which druggist may offer.
If you are sick, write Mrs. Pinkhan

To Test Wool and Linen.

1t often happens that wooden goods
will be doctored with cotton. To dis
cover this there are several tests that
can be made. One is the match test.
BY applying a lighted match to a
sample of the goods, the manner in
which it burns will be evidence of 1t
genuineness.
Wool will burn slowly, while cotton
will go like train of gunpowder.
Another test is to unravel the threads
and the cotton can then easily be
detected.
To the experienced buyer the feel"
of linen is a sufficient indication of
the quality, but for those who lack
this knowledge there is an old-fash-
ioned test which our grandmothers
used which is unfailing to show IL
there is cotton in the wool. Dampen
the finger and apply to the surface of
the linen fabric. II the moisture is
seen on the other side you may know
at once it is linen. II 1t is slow in
coming through. without doubt there
Is an admixture of cotton. Another
method is to unravel the threads, as
in the wool test.

through the half-open door l heard

not what wished, and drew near
reluctantly-I hesitated upon the
threshold of my desire.
I peeped into the room-a room aft

quetted floor of yew. The furnishings
were from Paris. I saw number of
swells, yes, upward of dozen or
more who had by all the signs been
awaiting the lady. She sat in state
in large fauteuil with her tiny feet
resting on stool.
A fellow knelt before her unlacing
the high-topped driving boots, which
imprisoned her feet, while another
waited with a pair of satin slippers.
l knew where there was one that
might claim kinship to them. He
ogled the slippers as though he could
have swallowed them with the great

with petulancy at the one at the
lady's feet. did not wonder at his
impatience, for so long did the fellow

fingers the megrims that they tumble
so over the lacings of my boots?"
Cousin Raoul sent an upward fond
glance at the lady.
"They become as confused as their
master, being part of him, upon touch
ing aught of yours" he said
'Poof!" she said and shrugged her
shoulders. You set a bad example
to your friends, mon cousin"
Back of her chair another fellow

Nations Quarrel over Islands.

Australia Is afraid that France will
annex the New Hebrdes islands. but
there are many people living in these
isles of the western Pacific who would
be glad II they could be annexed by
any power. For the blessings of rule
under an Anglo-French convention are
somewhat mixed. The Briton is for
bidden by his own rulers from import
ing spirits. while the Frenchman does
a merry trade. selling his liquid fire
for substantial acres, thus gradually
establishing his predominance over
the fettered Anglo-Saxon. England
has n historic claim to rule in these
regions. for II was Capt. Cook. who. in
