Vegetable Corspound

The wonderful power ct Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases Of vornankind is not be-
cause il is a stimulant not because it
Is palliative but simply because II 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 T. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. and are fair enough 10 give
credit where it is due.
II physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of themwould aclnowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
round 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.
DIR. 5. c. Brigham, of Brigham
Park, Fitchburg. Mass, writes:

male weakness, and is surely gaining in health
and strength

cffic in all diseases 70 which women are sub

should take immediate action to ward
off the serious consequences, and be
restored TO perfect health and strength
by taking Lydia f. Pinkham's vegeta-
bic Compound, and then write to Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, for further
free advice. No living person has had
the benefit of wider experience in
treating female ills. She has guided
thousands to health. Every suffering
woman should ask for and follow her
advice II she wants To be strong and

Rev. C. E. Randall. who founded the
arst Christian Endeayor society In ia
naica and is president OF the jamaica
Association of Christian Churches, thus
forcibly states what he considers the
chief advantages of Christian Endeav-
or work. The first, he says, is the
special opportunity which it affords to
TIE pastor of a church to win the affec-
lions Of the young people. II will be
seen at once how great is the advan-
tage thus gained In church work" The
second is 1.-The Judicious, gradual devel-
oprnent Of naseeut talent in Christian
work, which is blessing to the worker
and force for securing the prosperous
activity Of the individual church" And
thirdly, lit serves as q bond Of union
In Christian fellowship and calls for
cooperative service; and as its oppor-
tunities are taken advantage of it sup
plies most valuable protection against
the seductive tendencies OF the world
and the attractions Of worldly eompan-
ionship and pleasure, in which the
spiritual life cannot continue TO exist"

FOREST STATISTICS.

Government Plans the Publication of
an Annual Report.
The annual value Of the forest products
81 the United States, as enumerated in
the twelfth census, is nearly s575, ooo, 900.
II to this were added the fire-wood,
farm material, and other forest pro-
ducts for which no returns are avail
able, very much larger figure would be
shown. Thus, as a direct source OF wealth
the forests of the country rank nearly
with the mineral products as second TO
the farms. In addition to monetary value,
the forests of the country have an inn
mense, though not exactly ealculsble,
value as a source OF future supply and as a
protective covering for watersheds.
Forest products are indispensable to
mankind, and their steadily increasing
eneroaehing upon the supply. It is
urgently important to the nation that the
yearly consumption of forest products
and the amount of available timber We,
standing should be known.
In accordance with its policy OF en-
couraging the preservation. and proper
use of the forest, the forest service Ia
aiming to secure statistics for pnbiica-
tion in a report in the hope that
cooperation with the industries con-
cerned WILL make possible an annual re-
port entitled Forest Products of the
United States. This proposed report
would give, by states, regions, and
sr.nrscz fhA s,t sd sbf,.rs,arss ~ trp,f.,sr
shingles, Hath. cooperage stock, ties,
posts and poles during the year. the stock
ON hand at the close OF the year; and also
the amount OF wood used in the various
industries fer which wood furnishes the
raw material, and the value of the pro-
ducts. II would ALSO give information
concerning the amount OF stumpage in
the hands OF iumbermen in various re-
gions, how Tong il viii last at the present
rate OF cutting, the extent Of damage by
forest fires, and other important matters
relating to the forests of the country.
In order that the expense of collecting
the statistics for this report shall not be
excessive, nearly all the data viii be OBJ
tanned through correspondence. The
names OF proprietors of logging camps,
saw-mills, pulp mills, woodworking
plants, and other manufacturing estab-
lishment OF which wood Is the raw
material, will be secured from the bureau
Of the census. At the close OF the present
calendar year, question card win be sent
to each proprietor TO be filed out with

Loss of the Cerman n Hospital Society
 of Brooklyn.

New York. Feb oS-By the theft of q large number of letters containing money and checks the German Hospi. tai society of Brooklyn has lost more than S1.00O. It is said also that Post. master Roberts of Brooklyn is still en- gagged in an investigation. One man is under arrest. In the early part of November the Hospital Aid society had a three nights entertainment in the Grand opera house. Tickets were sent to many prominent persons. and in each envelope there was enclosed a printed and stamped return envelope
 After the entertainment the com mittee sent letters to various persons who, it was believed. had not ac- knowledged receiving tickets or had failed to pay for them. Replies were received to the effect that either mo- ney or checks had been sent in the TO turn envelopes. The theft of the let terS containing money and checks was traced to the postoflice in Brooklyn.
 The postoiiice cmploye who was ar rested had eighteen letters belonging to the German Hospital society. Ii was not then made known that the German Hospital society was the vic tim. At meeting of the society committee on Sunday night the theft of the letters was announced and yes tcr'lay general notification was sent [" the members. As none of the let ters was registered the loss falls on the Hospital society.
