The following letter is only one Of
many thousands which are on file in
the Pinkham office, and go to prove
beyond question that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound must be n
remedy of great merit, otherwise it
could not produce such marvellous re-
suits among sick and ailing women.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
About nine months ago was great suf-
ferer with womb trouble, which caused me
severe pain extreme nervousness and fire.

Sense and Figures.

The difference between common
sense and arithmetic was illustrated
in a remark which Tommy Jones
who is not exceptionally bright, but
just common, natural boy-made in
his class at school the other day. 1t
was the lesson in mental arithmetic.
The teacher asked Willie Smith:
(Which would you rather have,
Willie, half an apple or eight-six-
teenths of an apple?"
Wouldn't make any difference"
said Willie.
why not?"
"Eight-sixteenths and one-half are
all the same"
At this reply Tommy Jones, who
was several steps lower down the
class, shifted scornfully. The teach
err heard him.
well, Tommy" said he, don't you
agree with Willie?"
mo, sir" said Tommy. I'D a good
deal rather have one-half an apple"
"And why, pleaseT
more juice. Cut up half an apple
into eight-sixteenths and you'd lose
half the juice doing It."

Rest for the Bedridden.

In cases where absolute rest of the
body is necessary, and the patient
gets very weary Of lying still. most
welcome rest and change to the limbs
can be managed by the nurse raising
the knees of the patient well up in
bed and then putting good, substan
tial pillow or bolster well packed I'M
derneath them. In time, of course
the patient wearies of this position
then the support. should be with
drawn, and fresh relief is afforded
This would also give great comfort to
people partly paralyzed.

GOOD ADVICE FOR ALL.
Cultivate Calmness II You Wish
Health and Happiness.


A beautiful woman gave the follow
ing advice to girl admirer: Shield
your nerves and don't let them become
too sensitive. Make yourself take life
calmly. II you lose train don't pace
the platform wildly, but inquire when
the next comes in, and sit down calm
ly to wait for 1t. That's just what
most women don't do; they sit down,
perhaps, but they tap the floor with
their feet, clinch and unclinch their
hands, and are apparently In fever
heat of excitement over the arrival OF
every train that comes in, even though
they have been assured that theirs Is
not due for another half hour. That
half hour of waiting means to them
a frightful wear and tear OF nerves
and they are practically weeks older
for 1t. Try to cultivate calmness, but,
If you cannot do that all at once, you
can keep your face still"

An Expensive Bouquet.

Joseph Chamberlain is known to
have other interests than protection.
He has long been a collector of or
chids, his collection being one of the
finest in the world. During a recent
visit to Paris he saw a rare orchid,
the duplicate of which he had added
to his collection with the idea that it
was the only one of its kind in the
world. He asked the price of the
flower and was told 20,000f. Mr..
Chamberlain instantly paid the mon
ey, and then, throwing the flower on
the floor, ground it to pieces with his

s Correspondent Tells of Most
Terrible Scenes of the War
Observation-Disclosures

What is the most terrible scene
you have witnessed on the battlefields
Of the Far East?" is a question | am
often asked, writes Mr.. f. A. McKen-
zie, war correspondent of the London
Daily Mail.
The question is not easily an
swered, for war is a thing of accumu-
lating horrors.
The most tragic detail in modern
fighting is the injury inflicted on
women and children. Few Of us who
were present at the battle OF Lao
yang will ever forget the sight OF the
wounded babies in arms, the mothers
shot accidentally while nursing their
children and the boys, scarce able to
toddle, cut down by shrapnel fire.
No scene stands out more wildly
than the horrors of Rice Cake Hill,
the Spion Kop of Manchuria. A bat
tie ragged around this for nearly a
week, and the hill was taken and re-
taken by either side. At the end it
vas a horrible shambles, gorged with
blood.
l was with Gen. Kurokis army
when it made it's quick move around
Liaoyang and sought to cut off Kouro-
patkin's retreat. We found ourselves
held up by the Russians on three for
tilted hills, and our troops at once set
out to attack the central defence.
Six batteries of Japanese artillery,
standing out boldly on a ridge of the
valley, engaged the Russians on the
hills. The heavens seemed covered
with bursting shells as with curtain.
The Russians fired thousands of
rounds in reply.
When the full chorus of artillery
began, and each second had it's rack
ing explosion, we held our breath.
Taut nerves and electrified brains pic
tUred the scene in front.
"My God-my Cod" burst from the
lips of hardened fighter at my side.
Can a man be left alive?"
Yet when the Russians made mo-
mentary pause, quick reply came.
First one gun spoke, then came sue
cession of flashes, and our gunners,
jumping out of the narrow pits they
had dug for shelter places, poured out
round upon round.
The sun sank behind the heavens
Suddenly a tremendous crackle
caused by thousands of infantry vol.
ley firing, struck our ears, and the
lines of splitting brightness showed
that our infantry attack on the central
hill had begun. Our soldiers, who had
been creeping closer through the mil
let. rushed the village at the foot OF
the hill, and prepared to ascend
There were gullies up one side of the
hill, through which they could creep
but they were greeted with so heavy
fire that even the fearless Japanese
soldiers paused. @
Then their officers sprang up. One
with drawn sword, rushed where the
firing was thickest, shouting before he
fell: Nov is the time to die for the
Emperor" Others took up the cry
and the whole body of men moved for
ward.
"What could we do?" the soldiers
asked me afterwards, when telling me
of their rush. What could we do but
follow when our officers led the way?'
On the Russian side beating drums

anese, bugle calls encouraged ad

Spoons of Early Days.

All the earliest spoons have pear
shaped bowls. 1t was not until the
latter part of the seventeenth century
that they began to elongate toward
the egg-shaped spoon of the present
time. Up to the seventeenth century
all spoons were large and closely re-
sembled the soup spoon which has
been in use for the last five or six
years, the bowl being very deep

agony rent the air.
A night attack has horrors all its
own, and the horrors of many night at
tacks seemed concentrated here. The
hillsides were already slippery with
human blood. Men found themselves
hampered by the still forms of the
dead lying around. In deeds OF hero
ism each side rivaled the other, but
the Japanese, alert, athletic, courage
Gus, were the stronger men, and be-
fore dawn came they were masters of
the hill.
We held the hill all day, our SOL
diers digging holes in the earth and
crouching in them for shelter from
the pouring shell fire. AS darkness
drew near, the sound Of music swept
across the valley. The Japanese look
ed up and saw on the opposite hill
massed Russian bands of musicians
assembled and blaring out, flauntingly
and defiantly the Russian national an
them. The Japanese heard undismay-
ed. They had no bands, but they as
sembled their buglers, and, with equal
defiance, played back the Japanese
national air.
Darkness fell. The Japanese soldiers
crept from their gullies and lined the
trenches round the hill. Suddenly,
right from the ground Immediately in
front Of their trenches lights flashed
out, soldiers jumped to their feet to
fire downward. AS they rose, bombs
were thrown at them, exploding with
horrible effect wherever they touched.
The Russian pioneers, throwing away
their lives for their fatherland, had
crawled right up under the trenches
with infinite care, and had hurled
/ hand grenades into the Japanese line.
The Japanese front was shaken !;
then came the pouring ranks of the
| Russian storming party, and hand
| to-hand fight on the hill followed, last
| ing for seven hours.
Pen fails to convey the slightest i'm
| preston of the horrors of that time.
An examination of the weapons and
dress left on the field might do some
thing. Here were the rifles splintered
at the magazine-case, where a soldier
had been shot as he raised his weap-
on to fire. Here were others with
shattered stocks, here bent bayonets
riddled hats, drums, with holes
through and across them, showing
where bullets had gone.
The Japanese rallied and as the
Russians advanced on their second
line they met them with a steady fire
Line after line Of Russians fell, as
though the Angel of Death had drawn

after, literally soaked with blood

did work more deadly than bullets.
In the end the Russians re-took the
hill, but they could not hold it, fol-
their army was retiring all along the
+ rest of the line.
A few hours later I stood on the
hill. The sickly smell of the dead was
in the air. Blood was everywhere. In
the valleys below, thick, nauseating
smoke was pouring up from the points
where the Japanese were heapins
their own dead and burning them. AS
