If her system is in a deranged condi-
ton, or she is predisposed to apoplexy
or congestion of any organ, it is at this
time likely to become active and, with
a host of nervous irritations, make life
a burden.
At this time, also. cancers and tumors
are more liable TO begin their destruc-
tive work. Such warning symptoms as
o sense of suffocation, hot flashes, diz-
illness, headache, dread of impending
evil, sounds in the ears, timidity, pal
pitation of the heart, sparks before
the eyes, Irregularities, constipation,
variable appetite, weakness and inqui-
etude are promptly needed by intelli-
gent women who are approaching the
period of life when woman's great
change may be expected.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the worlds greatest remedy
for women at this trying period, and
may be relied upon to overcome all dis
tressing symptoms and carry them
safely through to a healthy and happy
old age.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound invigorates and strengthens the
female organism, and builds up the
weakened nervous system as no other

THE CRATE READY FOR USE.

cut, says Robert Worden, of Iowa, in
the Epitomist. This crate is of the
knock-down order, being hinged at
both ends so that the animals may be
driven in at one end and out at the
other. Handles may be slipped into
the iron loops or brackets placed at
suitable height on crate for carrying
same while animal is moved along.
This arrangement is especially valu-
able in handling calves or hogs, which
usually can be neither led, driven or
coaxed along. Make the crate light.
but strong. Spruce is the best wood
for such purposes, being light but ex-
ceedingly tough.

In order to reproduce this mem

have expended vast sum ofmoney.

the like of it has never been seen in

present the
Field of the Cloth of Gold.

Going back in history to 1920 one
remembers the rivalry that existed
between King Henry VIII of Eng
land and King Francis of France.
It was Cardinal Wolsey who arrang-
ed for these two monarchs to
meet at Andres and each fearing
the other took an army OF
from 3 900 to 5000 men. Before
reaching an agreement there was
a great show of splendor and feats
of skill. In order not to manifest
any idea of a battle, they went into
an extravagant expenditure OF
money. Francis I of France erected
a mammoth tent that would accom-
modate about 5000 people and with
so much splendor the place became
known as the Field of the Cloth OF
Gold. Here there we're games,
wrestling, feats of horsemanship
and at the conclusion the ideas OF
the two kings were as one.
