BARTENDERs ELECT OFFICERS.
The meeting of the bartenders' union
on Sunday was devoted during the whole
OF the session to the balloting for the Of
hcers and the rathcations afterward.
The candidates had been placed in the
field at the meeting previous and the
trusted and faithful ballot box created
al the election time last years was
brought forth from the cobwebs TO do
tuty again.
The duty OF the various members was
done so well and the votes cast so early
and often that though there was no ballot
box stuffing there was voting cast that
came very near checking the box and
fairly outdd the municipal election Of
New York city last November.
Every member OF the union and every
friend OF his who had a vote was on hand
10 see that his vote was cast and had
there been some policemen and reg flag
within tho l0o-yard limit It would have
taken on the aspect OF a municipal cleo
tion for sure.
There was no opposition for the great

SAVES FARMERS MILLIONS.
Prevention of Dat Smut as Result Of
Investigations of College
of Agriculture.

Statistics just compiled by agricul-
the investigations, by the college of
agriculture of the University of Wis
consin, of the means of preventing oat
smut, the farmers of Wisconsin are
being saved nearly $5,000,000 annually.
Since Wisconsin ranks among the
greatest oat producing states in this
country (for each year over $500, 900
acres are sown with oats, which pro-
duce a crop of 0,000,0 900 bushels,
worth annually from $25,000,000 to
$50 ,000,0 00), these investigations are of
vital Importance to thousands of farm
ers in all parts of the state. For many
years the annual loss to the farmers
in the oat crop averaged more than
10 per cent or over 1S,000,000 bushels
of oats, valued at nearly $5,000,000.
The barley crop of 100000 bushels
suffered an annual loss of 600, 200
bushels on account of the smut. Sta
tistics show that through the expert.
ments Of the professors Of the Wis
consin college of agriculture, and
through their efforts in spreading
broadcast over the state the results of
these Investigations, more than two
thirds OF this loss to the oat and bar
ley crops has been prevented, and that
the crops have therefore been in
creased in value nearly $5,0G0,000 a
year.
The history of the experiments that
led to the prevention of this costly
| blight is an interesting illustration Of
the application of the discoveries of
pure science to practical problems,
such as those of agriculture. A chem
ist discovered product of common
wood smoke, which is known as for
| maldehyde; biologist, working along
other lines, found that formaldehyde
| was death to fungus life; and finally
q professor of the North Dakota ex-
| pertinent station tried the effect of this
| chemical on oat smut. The University
of Wisconsin experiment station
| learned almost Immediately of the re-
suits of these experiments, and by ap-
plying them on a large scale proved
| that the oat smut could be effectually
| prevented by the application of the
! formaldehyde solution to seed oats be-
| fore planting.
The method of treating the seed
! grain is very simple, so simple in fact
that there is no reason why it should
not be universally employed. A pint
of formaldehyde which costs about SO
| cents, is poured into a barrel contain
| ing some 40 gallons of water. The oat
seeds, which are placed in gunny
| sacks, are let down into this barrel
| and allowed to soak in the dilute
| chemical solution for some minutes.
They are then taken out and dried.
| after which they are ready for sowing
without any further treatment. Thus
| the cost to the farmer is scarcely more
than a cent bushel; which is certain
| ly very little when compared with the
destructiveness of the blight and the
| great loss which it entails.

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer SO severely. Menstrual
ton is a severe strain on woman s
vitality. If it is painful or irregular
something is wrong which should be
rangement of the whole female organ
ism.
More than fifty thousand women
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs
Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain
full and irregular menstruation.
1t provides safe and sure way of es'
cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell SO con-
vincingly what Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie Holmes of $40 N. Davi.
sion Street, Buffalo. N. Y, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
"Your medicine is indeed an ideal medicine
for women. suffered misery for years with
painful periods headaches, and bearing down
pains consulted two different physicians
but failed to get any relief. A friend from
the East advised me to try Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound did so, and
no longer suffer as did before. My periods
are natural; every ache and pain is gone, and
my general health Is much improved.
advise all women who suffer to take Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound"
Mrs. Title Hart, of Larimore, N. D.,
writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
81 might have have been spared many
months OF suffering and pain had l only
known of the efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkham'i
Staunton spectator and vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1896-1916, 1905-04-21

Vegetable Compound sooner; for have tried
so many remedies without help.
81 dreaded the approach of my menstrual
period every month, as itmeant so much pam
and suffering for me, but after Ihad used the
Compound two months became regular and
natural and am now perfectly well and free
from pain atmy monthly periods. l am very
grateful for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound has done for me-"
Such testimony should be accepted
by all women as convincing evidence
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound stands without a peer as a
remedy for all the distressing ills of
women.
The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound rests upon the
well-earned gratitude of American
women.
When women are troubled with irreg-
ular, suppressed or painful menstrual
ton, leucorrhea, displacement or ul-
ceration of the womb, that bearing

and true remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham' 5
Vegetable Compound at once removes
such troubles. Refuse to buy any other
medicine, for you need the best.
Don't hesitate to write to Mrs.
Pinkham if there is anything
about your sickness you do not
understand. She will treat you
with kindness and her advice is
free. No woman ever regretted
writing her and she has helped
thousands. Address Lynn, Mass.
