When physician tells woman, suf-
fering from ovarian or womb trouble,
that an operation is necessary it, of
course, frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table aud the knife strikes terror to
her heart. AS one w oman expressed
1t. when told by her physician that She
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death knellfhad sounded.
Our hospitals are fullSof women
who are there for ovarian or womb
opera tons!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach stage where an operation
is the only resource, bu t such cases are
much rnrer than is generally supposed,
because great many women have
been cured by Lydia p. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
tho knife must be used to secure instan
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.

The IDEAS WE INHERIT.
BY WALLACE RICE.

GO strong are the conventions with
which civilized society surrounds it
- self that almost every child born to
mankind finds a complete set of opinions
on almost every subject under the sun
ready made for him. Whatever his nat
ural tastes and tendencies and enthusi-
asms.or whatever they might become II
society thought it was safe to let them
develop naturally-they are clothed in
garments fresh from the shelves OF his
elders, regardless of color or Mt.
There are no other habMiments waiting
for him, and the choice lies between TAX
ing these and going naked.
This of course, is due to the knowledge
that comes to men of ripper years and un-
derstanding that all we now possess has
been acquired with so much toll and trou-
Bile, and even the shedding of SO much
blood through the ages that we cannot
afford to risk any portion of 1t in re-
sponse to the inquiry and natural turbu-
lence of youth. Lest some crooked stick
get into the social structure and set it all
awry, it is necessary to have all the
sticks trimmed to single length. To
this end all our schools. colleges. univer-
sites, churches and political parties COM
bine.
Even in the arts, however fine or how
ever simple, this principle of conservatism
rules; science alone makes pretense Of
calling itself free.
Most of us take these reauy- made ideas,
wear them until they have grown to fit
us, until we have grown to fit them,
and think them our own because they
have been with US so long. AS matter
of fact, we have had no choice, we may
be and remain absolutely out of accord
with their style and color-and yet they
are ours. In reality we are theirs and

that I could have lunch in the CONNER

to the dining-room, to find a green cloth
on the table and no signs of lunch. rang
the bell for the waitress. and when she
appeared asked what time lunch would
be ready.

''Why, you can ave a cold lunch, or
we can cook you a chop, sir"
Now, you can always get chop In

If you stay long you will eat so many of
them that you will be ashamed to look
sheep In the face. l used to try to get
something else, and would order steaks,
but it was in vain Once, in a town of
5000 inhabitants, I had bravery enough
to order steak, but when 1 went down
there was the inevitable chop. When
