-Four Facts For
Sick Women
To ConSidez
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
Has an Unequ0lied Recosd of Cures
Mrs. PinkRam's AdUice Is ConfIden-
6oi Free, and aluoops Helpful

FrRsT.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful menstruation. leucorrhna,
displacements of the uterus, pain in
the side. burning sensation in the stom-
ach, bearing-down pains, nervousness,
dizziness and sleeplessness.
SECoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
It regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, all uter-
inc and ovarian Inflammation, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
menstruation perfectly and overcom-
ing it's pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing for childbirth
and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Fourth. Every ailing woman in the
United States is asked to accept the
following invitation. 1t is free, will
bring you health and may save your
life.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
to oWomen.--Wo Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Out of the vast volume of ex-
perience in treating female ills Mrs.
Pinkham probably has the very knowl-
edge that will help your case. Surely,
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take advantage of this
generous offer of assistance.

The Controversy Between Louisiana
and Mississippi was Not Improved
by Statement Given Out by
Governor vardaman After an
Investigation Yesterday.
lBy the Associated Press.l

New Orleans, La, Aug. 2.-The
fever record here UP to p. m. is as
follows:
New cases 32
Total cases to date :. .37S
Total deaths to date >. :. :. :. 10
New fOci :. :. :. :. :. 4
The fever situation showed no ma
terial change during the day and the
few new foci show that it is not
spreading with the rapidity of former
years. OF the deaths four were in the
Emergency Hospitals: four in the orig
inal district and three in the Charity
Hospital.
The impending controversy between
the States of Louisiana ard Mississippi
over the invasion by Governor Varda-
mans quarantine mosquito feet and
the armed guards stationed at Pearl
River, is not improved by the state
ment given out by Governor Varda,
man today in Jackson after his return
from the coast, where he went to in
vestigate the situation.
Governor Blanchard has ordered
CAPITA Bostick, of the naval brigade,
to impress the fleet of patrol boats OF
the oyster commission into service,
arm them and patrol the waters now
in possession of the Mississippi boats.
One of these boats has already been
dispatched to the Rigolets, the neck
of the water connecting Lake Pont-
chartrain with Lake Borgne and late
tonight or tomorrow morning q
launched armed with Colts rapid fire
guns from the naval brigade armory
and manned by officers and crew from
the brigade will leave for the scene.

SAVING MONEY FOR FARMEE S
New Prison Irvine Plant Means An
Increased OUTPUT.

Minnesota farmers will save approx
mately 100000 annually in the pur-
chase of binding Irvine when the new
machinery recently installed in the
Irvine plant at the state prison is run
to its full capacity, which will probably
be next year.
The saving this year will approximate
1915 900. The state board of control
plans to manufacture approximately H.
100000 pounds, and the prices fixed by
the state are about 2E cents lower than
the prices to consumers fixed by dealers
in binding Irvine. %
At the close of the present year the
amount which Minnesota farmers will
have saved through the state Irvine
plant will be nearly $l,500,00O and the
profit to the state would be consider
ably in, excess of $3OOOOO Since the
plant was established in 1891 more than
60,O00,000 pounds ofntwine nave been
manufactured.
The state has recently installed new
machinery which will materially in
crease the output of the plant. The
board of control expects to manufacture
from 100000 to 100000 pounds
next year. The new machinery is in
operation, but the plant will not be run
to it's full capacity this year.
One reason why the state is able to
save Minnesota farmers so large an
amount this year is because the board
of control purchased the raw material
early, before the prices went up. In adj
dition to this, the state being large
purchaser, can get the best bargains,
and being a large manufacturer, can re-
duce expenses to the minimum.

Attorney General Young will prose
cute the timber trespass suits, the al.
legged damages covering something like
$l67, 1852. The firms involved are
Shevlin Carpenter company to the
amount of SOL ,324.42; Bonness & Howe
$lO,95l.6l; Pine Tree Lumber company
81, 3O4.6l; Foley Bean Lumber company,
$6554O3; C. A. Smith Timber company
$479l70; Backus- Brooks Lumber COM
pany, $s9, s95.76.
These suits are the direct result of
the Investigations made by Public Elk
aminer Johnson just before he retired
from office. They cover timber cut on
state lands during the winters of 1903
and 1904
A peculiar feature of the suits is that,
with the probable exception of one COM
pany, the timber has been paid for, but,
because of violation of the law in cut
ting the timber after the permit had ex-
"ooc NC S|>PeSe
ed. 1t is then called trespass, but the
companies involved refuse to submit to
that view of the case.
During the last session of the legis-
lature curative act was introduced,
but it failed of passage. The legalizing
of the trespass was asked for on the
ground that the state had not suffered
any loss but the prejudice growing out
of timber irregularities in the past was
SO great that support was refused, and
rightly so. Timber thieving by the
lumber barons of Minnesota became too
pronounced. 1t is hoped that the at
torney general will fight the cases to a
finish.

The fact that several young men, who
went to the isthmus to fill clerical po'
sitions, have returned filled with alarm
because yellow fever has broken out on
the narrow strip, should not deter am
bilious individuals from going to what
will certainly prove to be one OF tine
liveliest spots on earth during the next
few years, at least. 1t should not be
expected that the region through which
the Panama canal is to be built, is a
veritable pleasure resort and haven
for the afflicted. But there is every
reason to believe that in the course of a
comparatively short time disease germs
and the microbes of yellow fever and
other death dealing diseases will be ex-
terminated. There is nothing startling
i'm the statement that those experts
who have fought disease elsewhere will
be able to beat it out in the tropical
region. Speaking to this subject, The
st. Louis Globe Democrat says that
tropical India and Africa are not the
first choice of Englishmen for climate,
but they have stood the strain, as far
as called upon, for many years without
disastrous results. Our armies main
tanned good health in Cuba and the
Philippines. Sanitation will be improved
on the isthmus as a matter of course.
That is the American system of deal
ing with conditions, as exemplifed in
Havana and Manila. Some of the Amer
lean engineers on the isthmus have
been there for years and enjoyed good
health. 1t is not every person from a
northern region who can adjust himself
to a residence in the tropics. An indiv
idual should carefully weigh such a
question before he acts, and not dash in
and dash out again because he guessed
at the facts and found his imagination
a poor guide. The isthmus is not a
watering place, nor will the labors at
the canal and its terminals be light.
But the United States will work a rapid
change there for the better in regard to
health and the modern comforts of civ
ilization.
There is no feat so gigantic and with
every appearance of the impossible sur
rounding it that the United States can
not accomplish.

LACK OF MONEY.
Rural Schools Will Not Receive Full

From Wednesdays Daily.
Owing to the limited funds available
for the purpose, it is probable that the
900 rural schools in Minnesota will not
get the full amount of the state aid
August l, provided for by the last legis-

The regular state aid for rural schools
is. 1925 and the annual appropriation is
100000 The recent legislature, how
ever, provided that a certain class CT
rural schools, those which do not en-
ploy first grade teachers, shall receive
$50 aid annually, but there was no APP
preparation made for this purpose. This
means that the special aid of $50 shall
be paid out of the 100000.
Last year 835 rural schools. received
state aid, and it is probable that the
number this year will exceed 900, not
counting those which qualify for the
$50 aid. There probably will be 200
or 300 schools that will apply for this
aid so that it is likely that both classes
of schools will have to take consider
ably less than the stipulated amount.
