beset with such symptoms as dizziness,
faintness, lassitude, excitability, irri-
liability, nervousness, sleeplessness,
melancholy, "all-gone" and "want-to-
be-left-alone" feelings, blues, and hope
lessness, they should remember there
is one tried and true remedy. Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at
once removes such troubles. No other
medicine In the world has received such
unqualified endorsement. No other
medicine has such record of cures of
female troubles. Refuse to buy any
other medicine, for you need the best.
Alight heart, a cheerful countenance,
and all the charms of grace and beauty
are dependent upon proper action of the
bodily organs. You cannot look well
unless you feel well.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women

At the New York State Assembly of
Mothers, a prominent New York doctor
told the 500 women present thathealthy
American women were so rare as to be
almost extinct.
This seems to be sweeping state.
ment of the condition of American
women. Yet how many do you know
who are perfectly well and do not have
some trouble arising from a derange-
ment of the female organism which
manifests itself in headaches, back
aches, nervousness, that bearing-down
feeling, painful or irregular menstrual
ton, leucorrhoea, displacement of the
uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or
sleeplessness There is tried and
true remedy for all these ailments.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has restored more American
women to health than all other RENE
dies in the world. IT regulates,
strengthens and cures diseases of the
female organism as nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been curing
the worst forms of female COM

Such testimony as the following

Writers say that men are growing
closer to nature, and l can safely afirm
that women are, too, so far as dress is
concerned, that harmonizes with the
spirits Of nature and borrows from her
all that is fairest and best, in blended
colorings and simple lines Of grace.
Among summer gowns net is very
smart, and this announcement will be
greeted with delight by women of
small means, for If there is anything
cheap, pretty and durable it Is net
Just think, one can buy net for 50
cents a yard, and it is double width,
and five or six yards will make a very
full dress. Isn't that cheap? A bit of
lace for the yoke and cuffs is all the
trimming necessary, although more
trimming can be added at pleasure.
Dotted nets are not anything like as
smart as plain ones are this summer,
and point d'esprit is better than dotted
nets for gowns.

FOR HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
Diet Followed In Building Up the
System and Looks Of Patients
Afflicted with Nervousness.

Those who are afflicted with nerves
should be given green vegetables. ripe
fresh fruits, uncooked, and all their
meals are eaten in the open air. Give
them hot cooked breads and plenty
OF things to nourish and feed the
nerves. See that they do not go hun
cry and feed them five times a day.
Nervous patients should be given q
great deal Of fluid. They usually are
people who drink little and need
plenty Of fruit drinks, one Of the best
being hot apple tea. To make apple
tea, cut up apples and cover them
with hot water. When they have
STEPPED pour on the juice and serve
il hot with sugar and cream. A bet
ter apple tea is made by serving apple
Juice with sugar and lemon.
Nervous patients should be given
water that is not too hot, sweet light
wines, unfermented grape Juice, and
all kinds of things that are healthful
and satisfying The trouble Is that
the woman with too many nerves In
yariably does not supply the system
with q sufficient amount Of fluid and
that is why she is 50 nervous She
should drink pure fresh water as often
as she can do so.
II the woman who is ailing and
nervous will take the milk diet she
will get well. Let her procure four
quarts Of good fresh pure milk Let
her begin in the morning and take a
glass of milk every half hour all day.
This will cleanse her system and puri-
~ It, carrying OF all the impurities OF
the stomach and blood.
The milk diet can be taken In q dill
ferent way. The patient can drink
her cup Of coffee in the morning ana
take her chop. But after this one
meal she must not take another mea!
until the next morning. Instead OF
this aha drinks a glass Of milk every
hour. This is not strictly vegetarian
hut Il borders upon it and is an I'M
movement upon the meat eating three
times q day. 81.
The nervous woman requires nuio,
and until she learns to Jake great
deal of It into her stomach she VIII

BOUGHT TIMBER
As FARM LAND
REMARKABLY TRESPASS CASE
COMING BEFORE TIMBER BOARD.
Lumbermen Bought Land Supposed to Be
for Agricultural Purposes, Cleared It
Of Timber, and Then Defaulted in
Payments on the Land-State Now
Wants to Collect for Timber.

A new variety of trespass case is to
be brought before the next meeting OF
the state timber board, which probably
will be held this week. The disclosures
in connection with it are due to make
q sensation.
The substance of the case is this: At
q sale of agricultural land in one of the
northern counties three or four years
ago, seven forty-acre tracts, scattered
thru one section, were offered and were
bought in by well-known lumbermen at
the minimum price of SIS an acre. The
sale sheets showed that there was no
timber of value on the land, and, in
fact, if they had shown otherwise, it
would have been the duty of the au-
ditor to sell the timber at the annual
timber sale and withhold the land. The
fact was, however, that the land was
not agricultural, but sustained good
growth of pine timber, the forties sold
being the best timber on the section.
The timber on these tracts was cut
and the logs hauled out. The purchasers
had paid only Is per cent down and had
to pay interest on the remainder, q
trihing amount. But after clearing OIL
the timber they defaulted in their pay:
ments of interest, and the land reverted
the land, but the valuable tim Der is
gone. Cruisers have reported on it, ano
the facts are to be laid before the
timber board. The lumbermen who
bought the land are to appear and g
settlement may be reached. The tim
Der board, however, will demand pay
ment for the timber taken at trespass
rates.
A former surveyor general is i1npli
Gated in another case, which implies
fraud in the scale of timber taken from
= state land The timber in OueStion wa
cut after the expiration of the permit
and the state timber board has beef
negotiating for a settlement at trespas
rates. A rescale was made, however
which shows that about three times a
much timber was taken from the lam
as the purchasers paid for at the frs
settlement
