SLIGHTLY Confused,

When Senator Deboe was elected
from Kentucky from Joe Blackburn's
district, an ovation was given him
upon his return to his little mountain
town, a barbecue for which several
fatted calves and other animals were
killed.
Much impressed he made a speech
of some length and e%loquence. That
is, he began all right, but he made a
slight miscue at the finish.
That was what he said:
Friends and Fellow Citizens:
feel this to be the greatest occasion OF
my life. I I'M deeply gratifed-more
deeply than | can say-by this honor
you have done me in sending me as
Senator to the capital from the mos
splendid state in the Union, from the
magnificent Blue Grass country, from
the only state that a boast of the
finest whisky, the loveliest horses ant
the fastest women in the world

But nothing can get more proper action

And the system is wrapped in a flame

When the purse is fiat from a dearth OF

When a fellow feels he could eat a poodle
And try to imagine it Belgian hare,
When a reg'la dinner. with pie and pud-

Many wonderful cures Of female ills
are continually coming to light which
have Lecn brought about by Lydia e.
pinktam's Vegetable Compound, and

through the advice Of Mrs. Pinkham,
of Lynn, Mass, which is given to sick
Uomen absolutely free of charge.
Mrs. Pinkham has for many years
made q study of the Ills OF her sex:
she has consulted with and advised
thousands of suffering women. who
today w not Qpy their health but
even life to her helpful advice.
Mrs. Fs.nnie D. Fox, of z Chestnut
Street bradford, Pa, writes
Dear Mrs. Pinkhan. .-
/ suffered for a long time with womb
trouble, and finally was told by my physician
that had a turnor on the womb. / did not
want 81 submit to an operation, SO wrote you
fer advice. | received your letter and did as
sna told me, and today I am completely
cared. Ny doctor says the tumor has disap-
rsared, and / am once more a well woman.
believe Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the best medicine in the world for
women
The testimonials which we are con
antlypublishingfrom grateful women
establish beyond a doubt the power Of
lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Conn
pound to conquer female diseases.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs.
pinkham. at Lynn, Mass. She asks
nothing in return for her advice. 1t is
absolutely free, and to thousands Of
women has proved to be Q precious
than gold.

"a Mise Wonan.'

MANY women wear thin linen under
clothing in winter and>then they il!og,
ically complain Of red noses, enlarged
veins in the face, rough. red hands
and a dry, ill-nourished skin. Now,
the way to maintain a soft, supple
skin and a clear and pinky complexion
is to keep up a plentiful supply OF
blood near the surface all over the
body. A wise women knows that
nothing is more destructive to a love-
ly skin than cold feet. Therefore,
even if she indulge in the vanity OF
spun silk or perforated hose, she uses
cork soles in her shoes so as to keep
ND the circulation of the blood, upon
which the skin depends SO largely
for it's softness and luster. Lack OF
warmth in the abdomen leads TO q
congested state of the liver n the
huge network of blood vessels which
control the supply of nourisilment te
the skin are situated in the abdomen
The middle Of the body should be kept
