Thousands of Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
Success OF Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound hests Upca the Fact that II
Really Does Make Sick Women Well

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri.
can ome nave been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs. Pinkham's Office, and prove this
statement to be a fact and not q nero
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 it's wide
spread results for good?
Why has it lived and thrived and
done its glorious work for a quarter of
q century?
Simply and surely because Of it's ster-
ling worth. The a 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 z.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of w~omankind is not be-
cause it is q stimulant-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 disbursements and
restoring health and vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
oil 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. 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 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 a cure.
Women who are troubled with painful
or irregular m~enstruation, backache,
bloating Tor fl~atulencel, leu~corrhea,
falling, inflammation or liberation of
the uterus, ovarian troubles, that
"bearing-down" feeling, dizziness,
faintness. Indigestion, nervous pros
t~ration, 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 f. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. Anyway,

for advice. It's free and always helpfaL

Wear Tinsel Again.

Tfnsel and tawdriness have been
been coupled together for so long that
few women have had a chance to real
lie what an attractive addition a touch
of it might form to the trimming Of a
costume. Partisan modistes, however,
are now utilizing it, and with such
artistic results that their customers
seem as attracted by it as a lot of
moths.
One Eastern woman, when she vas
in town a few days ago, wore a crea-
ton which might have been copied
from a Reynolds picture. 1t was of
black gauze over black silk. The skirt
was embroidered about the edge with
sprays of blue corn flowers and wheat
done in tinsel thread. Its surplice
bodice was finished by a black lace
fichu worked in the same design. A
rosette of tinsel was added to the vel
vet belt, and another cleaned from
under the brim Of her huge black hat.

Fishes that Attack Cows.

The Journal of Agricultural Topics
calls attention to a very curious fish.
occurring in great numbers along the
banks of the Amazon, which attack
cattle. The animals frequent the shall
low waters during the heat Of the day,
and while thus exposed are attacked
upon the legs and udders by the fish.
The bites are quite severe, frequently
totally disabling the animals and
sometimes producing death. In M
instance a dairyman is reported to have
lost over 400 cows from his cause in a
single season.

They Drop out OF Sight.

More than 5000 persons annually
disappear in the United States II are
lever heard from again. At first blush
the assertion seems incredible, but po-
lice statistics furnish confirmation.
The actual figures, based on a con-
sentative calculation, are ever more
alarming than those given. In fact,
the reports of the police departments
Of the larger cities show hat in the
twelve months just passed 16,00S of
the persons who disappeared during
the year were never reported as found,
but the shrewd police officers, accus-
toned to the eccentricities of human
nature, are of the opinion that the re-
turn of many thousands of these per-
sons, through shame or indifference,
vas never reported at police h%eadquar-
tiers. But even after making allow
ance for this feature of the case, it Is
reasonable certain that more than s.
600 persons were swallowed up in OBJ
livion.
The tragedies of real life hidden
within these peculiar cases. If they
could but be brought to light, would
rival. many Of the novels penned by
the worlds greatest writer's. No sub
ject that can be imagined has such
weird fascination as that of the thou
sands and thousands who have gone
down this grand canyon OF oblivion.
1t would be possible to fill many
pages with the absorbing stories Of
these curious cases, but nearly every
reader of the newspapers, whether he
live in village, town, or city, is prob
ably acquainted with some instance Of
the kind concerning either friend or
relative. Men and women who have
lost all they treasured most in life in
this N go about vacantly, numb
ly, eve waiting for the return of the
missing One-a dream that never
comes true.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Almost Satisfied.

Congressman Broussard, of Louisi-
ana, says that at New Iberia, his
State, in the early '90S, when that dis
trict was visited by a sever flood, one
of the expeditions for relief organized
by the government one day encoun-
tered an old negro who, in a dilapi-
dated dugout, was having considerable
trouble in keeping afioat. The old fell
low was busy padding with n hand,
while he bailed out his craft with The
other.
At this j%uncture the relief boat came
within hailing distance, and the cap
tain called out:
Hello, there, uncle! Anything you
want?"
"Nothin' 'cept wings, boss" was the
grim reply.

Red tape is always associated with
the business methods of government,
whether in America or sn other coun-
tries. Nearly every one who has had
dealings with Washington will testify
as to the tedious regulations which
must be observed and the vexatious
delays which exhaust the patience Of
those who have to do with the depart
ments. The President, who, by tenn
perament, has no sympathy with I'M
necessary conventionalities, and who
desires always to see work done in the
quickest and most effective way, has
appointed a commission of five men,
selected from four Of the executive de-
partments, to investigate the govern
ment methods of doing business, and,
if possible, to discover and recommend
better ways. In private business red
tape practices are killed off by compe-
tition; for, other things being equal,
the firm which does its work in the
most direct and economical way has
an advantage. In government business
competition plays no part and, as a
rule, has no influence; and custom as
sumes an undue Importance. The re-
suit is a tendency, characteristic Of al.
departments of the public business, te
become clogged with rules and entan
gled in petty details, to the great detrt
ment both of speed and Of economy.

Families living in large towns or
cities have sometimes been asked by
their letter carrier to buy tickets to
a picnic, excursion, concert, ball or
other entertainment. Even if the re.
quest has not been formally made, the
tickets, with the price plainly printed
on them, have been left at the house,
1t is not generally known that such
distribution of tickets is forbidden by
the postotfice department. Indeed,
even those who have known of the
prohibition have seldom been inclined
to complain against the postman who
has delivered their mail daily in rain
and shine for years. At the beginning
of the eason of picnics and excursions
this year the Postmaster General call.
ed the attention Of the postmasters to
the regulation, and said he would hold
them responsible for its enforcement.
The regulation applies to rural-free.
delivery carriers as well as to those
in cities; but on the rural-free-delivery
routes the carriers have certain privi.
leges of their own They may carry
articles or packages Of unavailable
merchandise for hire for and upon the
request of patrons residing on their
respective routes"

Now and then one gets an amusing
glimpse of the variety Of duties which
the President is called upon to perform.
While he was settling the difference
between Assistant Secretary LOOMS
and Minister Bowen, and deciding
what should be done in the ease of the
Santa Fe Railroad Company. and ar
ranging for a peace conference be-
tween Russia and Japan, a delegation
Of Gloucester fish merchants called
upon him to complain of the conduct

habits, have lately become dissipated
and erratic. They take loSg and fire.
quent vacations, without giving any
indication as to where they are going
or when they will return, and in other
ways give evidence of leading a double
life. The Gloucester fish merchants,
who have SO often fed these mackerel
and looked after them so tenderly, are
naturally hurt. They want the Presi.
dent to get after the rebellious schools
with his big stick, and compel the
mackerel to be good; and he promised
to have the fish commission make al.
Investigation.

Picture postcards, which are now
SO plentiful, bring to the government
n most profitable line of postal bust
ness. The rate, at a cent each for
carrying them through the mail,
amounts to about one dollar and a
Quarter a pound, varying somewhat
with the weight of the card. This
compares advantageously with the
cent a pound on newspapers, the s
cents on books, and the 16 cents on
merchandise. Letter mail would pay
twice the postal-card rate, even if ev-
cry letter weighed its full ounce. The
collecting habit, in other ways, brings
to the Treasury many an honest pen
ny. The postcard craZe, which is the
newest collecting habit and the most
recent source of revenue, leads small
communities to see what they have in
the way of natural beauty or of artistic
work that deserves a wide circulation.

operations of that month, and reduced
the deficit from S37,000,000 to about
