Lexington Exhibits.

The State Of yesterday says this OF
the lexington exhibit at the State
Fair: Some of the exhibits from the
Lexington fair were in evidence and
this led q prominent official to remark
the need Of each county having fair,
as the experience Of Lexington, among
Others, had proved its worth. Each
wear Lexington is better represented
at the State fair than any other coun-
ty, with the single exception OF Horny
two wears ago. IF each county had q
similar fair and it was held just prior
to the State fair, the task of getting
superior exhibits would be much SIM
plTfed.

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
Ilould suffer so severely. This is a
severe strain on woman's vitality.
When pain exists something is wrong
which should be set right or it will
lead to a serious arrangement of the
whole female organism.
Thousands of women have testified
in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound overcomeS woman's special
pains and irregularities.
1t provides safe and sure way OF
escape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell SO con-
vincingly what Lydia z. Pinkham' S
Vegetable Compound will do for

to thousands of sufferers.

Babel in Mexico.

After answering the telephone and
talking Spanish into it without appar-
emily getting results, the clerk at u
hotel hung up the receiver and re-
marked:
My Spanish isn't the best in the
world, | know, but l should think a
man would know how to talk at least.
The fellow just talking to me over the
phone couldn't talk enough Spanish to
order meal, and to save me l couldn't
make him understand, although l know
l used correct language. While he was
talking an American rushed into the
hotel and up to the desk. Say" he
said, cant anyone here talk English.

idiot trying to talk Spanish over the
phone knows mighty little about the
language
Il was talking to you" said the
clerk.

versation continued in English.-3Iexi-

Edison's Future City,

Considerable discussion has been Gvous-
ed by a signed prophecy of Thomas a.
Edison, detailing what our large cities
will be like 100 years hence. He says
they will be free from smoke and steam,
and that the chimney will be a thing of
the past. while the waste of coal and 9TH
er fuel will be stopped through the use
of electricity, generated direct from the
fuel without the aid of engine boiler or
dynamo. In factories each machine will
have its individual motor. Houses will
be heated electrically, and most of the
cities noises will cease. Skyscrapers will
be universal in the business section, and
the streets will be bridged over at diff
ferent heights to facilitate transit from
one side to the other. He estimates that
buildings will then average thirty stories
in height, and the greater number will
be constructed of concrete and steel. Such
buildings, he says, will stand thousand
years or longer. His new battery will
make electricity portable for street We
hicles or airships.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There i:
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
lion. hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
