Vegetable COMPOUND

The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is stimulant. not because it
is palliative. but simply because it 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 E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of themwould acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
DR.. S. c. Brigham, of Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass, writes
sit gives me great pleasure to say that
Compound very efficacious, and often pre-
scribe it in my practice for female difficulties.
"My oldest daughter found it very benef-
cial for uterine troublesome time ago, and my
youngest daughter is now taking it for fe-
male weakness, and is surely gaining in health
and strength.
~ freely advocate it as most reliable spe-
cific in all diseases to which women are sub
ject, and give it honest endorsement"
Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular menstruation bloating
Tor fatulence), leucorrh@a, falling, in
fammation or liberation of the uterus,
ovarian troubles, that bearing-down
feeling, dizziness, faintness, indiges-
ton, nervous prostration or the blues,
should take immediate action to ward
off the serious consequences and be
restored to perfect health and strength
by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound, and then write to Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, for further
free advice. No living person has had
the benefit of a wider experience in
treating female ills. She has guided
thousands to health. Every suffering
woman should ask for and follow her
advice if she wants to be strong and
we'll.

Mr. Paul Thieman, whoever he may

a Denver paper which Is pat and to the

few paragraphs of his article:
When one beholds the complacent
failure to comprehend the nature and
condition Of Far Western irrigation, It
is maddening. ! have seen one man,
who is thoroughly posted, almost break
into wild tears Of rage over the ever
recurring evidences that the people at
large, the people right here, the ma
tional government, the State govern
ments, do not appreciate national irri-
cation. and that the public informa-
ton and the individual knowledge Of
the subject at this time are strangely
dense. The public is fed constantly
with lovely articles about the grand
national irrigation works under way,
while the fact is that all the great
values mentioned concerning reclama-
ton Of the arid region are the result OF
private initiative and enterprise and
capital.
Few people understand that the ma
tional irrigation fund is nothing but
bulk Of capital which may be advanced
to build reservoirs and dltches upon
guarantee that the owners Of the lands
TO be irrigated will repay the cost to
the fund The national fund is not to
be depleted but must be replenished
by the payment back OF the cost Of the
work. as assessed by the government
engineers, and II signatures TO such
pledges can't be secured, the works
proposed Will not be built

costs vastly more than If done by pri-

the Illustration performs in eight
hours The burning sun or rain In tor

earth-devouring monster. The scene
is from photograph Of the construc-

Colusa County. California. The arti-
fetal river thus created is six miles
long, 100 feet wide. and 80 feet to the
top of Its banks. The Sacramento riv-

fertile 10000 acres Of fruit ranches.
The excavator travels on its own
railway tracks on each side Of the
canal, and as the work proceeds the
track is taken up and relaid ahead
OF the machine.
The steel buckets, which have sharp,
cutting edges, move constantly by
means of endless chains, and empty
their load Of earth first on one side,
then on the other. Wide endless belts
carried on rollers carry the earth to
the sides Of the ditch.
All these movements OF the machine
are controlled by one leverman, who
may be seen in the cut standing on

He has control of five separate levers,
one for raising and lowering the buck
