BROOKFIELD,

The large barn with all it's contents,
belonging to Mrs Peter Hall in OBJ
fuse, and a shop which stood near it
with all it's contents were totally de-
stroyed by fire, last Friday night, July
81. The origin of the fire is a mystery.
About 8 O'Clock IN the evening mem
Der of the family went to the barn and
turned the horses out into the lot.
Everything at the time was all right
The family remained on the lawn I'M
til about $50 and they retired at
O'Clock. Mrs Leslie Gilbert, Mrs
Halls daughter, was awakened and
went to the window when she saw the
flash of light and looked toward the
barn and it was all a mass of flames.
The alarm of fire was soon spread and
others on the hill saw the fire. The
telephone was brought into good use
and in short time between 40 and so
people were on hand. Nothing could
Ue done to save the barn or shop or
their contents so their efforts were d.
rected on the house, which they saved.
1t was hard fight; it seemed as if it
must go and all the household goods
were removed from the house. Those
who were there did good work and are
to be congratulated on saving the
house. Mrs Halls loss will probably
be over $4,000, with about $1,000 or $1,000
insurance. In the barn was about 10
tons of hay, 40 shocks Of rye, wagons,
harnesses, cultivators, plows and many
other tools. In the shop were all the
tools beside two stoves, which were
there for the summer and also many
other things. Mrs Hall has the SYM
pathy of her neighbOrS in her loss.

Thousands Of Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
Success Of Lydia e. Plnkham's Vegetable
Compound Rests Upon the Fact that It
Really Does Make Sick Women Well

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-
can women have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
bio Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs. Pinkham's office, and prove this
statement to be a fact and not a mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed is the success
of this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments.
Why has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound accomplished its wide
spread results for good?
Why has it lived and thrived and
done its glorious work for q quarter OF
q century,
Simply and surely because of its ster-
ling worth. The reason no other med
icine has even approached its success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world SO
good for women's ills.
The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is astimulant-not because it is
a palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the uterine system. positively
CURING disease and displacements 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 in
Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where 1t is due. If physicians
dared to be frank and open, hundreds
of them would acknowledge that they
constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound in severe
cases of female ills, as they know by
experience that it will effect cure.
Women who are troub led with painful
or irregular menstruation, backache,
bloating Tor latulence), leucorrhna,
falling, Inflammation or liberation of
the uterus. ovarian troubles, that
"bearing-down" feeling, dizziness,
faintness. indigestion, nervous pros
tration, or the blues, should take i'm
mediate action to ward off the serious
consequences and be restored to health
and strength by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. Anyway,
write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass.
for advice. It's free and always helpful.

THE ONLY WAY TO CURE.

To cure cold wren you have no

Honey and Tar. The new idea, the

contains no opiates and is best for
coughs, colds, Group whooping cough,

1.-THE OLD sWIMMIN' HOLE"

On the Saugatuck river is an attrac-
tive little spot, meadow leading
down to quiet sand-bottomed pool in
the river. Here the water does not
exceed five feet and six inches in the
very deepest spot, and here, many a
city girl, who fears the breakers of
the surf, has learned to swim, which
has proved many times to her advant-
age. Even If the young ladies of the
town do choose this place as theirs,
there are but few young men or boys
in the Center, who can truthfully say,
II learned to swim elsewhere than in
Swimming Hole"
