An eminent physician says that
women are not truthful; they viii lie
so their physician This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with I'M
married women.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on
This is the reasonwhy thousands and
thousands Of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
SO that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Tfyou suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women. write at once to
Mrs. PinLham. Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free Of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring in.

MAKING MONEY WITH BEES
The Bee Industry Eas Grown Anaz-
ingly During the Last
Twenty Years.

Few city people realize that agriculture
has developed into a practical money
making industry during the last 20 years,
until now the average amount OF honey
put on the market each year is upward
of 100000 pounds, representing q
money value of from $4,000, 900 TO $10,-
100000
In a favorable locality one hive, With
its average colony Of IS. 900 workers and
a queen, will turn out from 90 to 40
pounds OF honey. besides the Is or 90
necessary to feed the hive through { Il
winter.
S few hives, in any ordinary country
district, should each bring IN clear tWo
dollars a year profit at the lowest esti-

to the necessary new hives for the fresh

It you commence by purchasing a
colony and hive that has been we'll cared
for during the winter. they will come out
strong in the spring, the queen will start
laying again, aud each day thousands
OF bees will be born, soon causing the
hive to be.so vastly crowded that the old

parent hive. Leaving the young colony

in the opening of the hive you desire the
swarm to occupy. cautiously approach
the full swarm, and with a soft broom
sweep the bees into the hive, if the posi-
ton they occupy makes it possible, as
in the picture; if not, use a box or pan
and carry them to the hire and empty

days the hotbed is generally placed di-
reclIy on the ground sometimes half in

the pit should be quite shallow, SO that

IeveI-topped pile of fresh horse manure,
with about the same quantity of straw

occasionally with hot water. and turn
