When physician tells woman, suf-
fering from female trouble, that an
operation is necessary it, OF course,
frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. AS one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for just such operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of St.
Andrews Society, Indianapolis, Ind.
writes of her cure as follows:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
II cannot find words to express my thanks
for the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did me. The doctor said could

who were not on the programme at

In short, it was close on to II
o'clock when the chairman, with q
pleasant smile, bowed and said:

CASTE IDEA CARRIED FAR.
Illustration of Bitterness Between Fol-
lowers Of Mohammed.

Here is a tale from O'Donovan's
"Merv" illustrating the bitterness OF
feeling between the various sects Of
the followers of Mohammed: O'Don-
ovan had offered his Mohammedan at
tendant, who happened to be Shilte,
some of his cold chicken, which the
man took at first and chewed rumin-
antly. Suddenly, however, he spat the
mouthful out, exclaiming: Who
cooked this?" since it is sin for .
Moslem to eat food cooked by an in
fidel. ooh, it's all right replied
ODonovan, ut was cooked by your
coreligionists down there" pointing to
q city of Sunnites. What" exclaim-
ed ShiIre, furiously. "by those internal
Sunnites! l shouldn't have minded
much if It had been cooked by you or
any other giaour; but by a Sunnite!
Pah!" and he spat again in his dis
gust. ''But what is the difference be-
tween Shilte and Sunnite? Aren't
both good Moslems?" What is the
difference between US! Don't you
know that when Shilte washes his
hands he lets the water drip from
the wrist; but when those Sunnites
wash their hands they let the water
drip from the elbow?

Vegetable Compound had saved other women

and in less than four months l was entirely

Miss Margret Merkley, of 275 Sd

Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
"Loss of strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing-down pains, and an
irritable disposition compelled me to seek
medical advice. The doctor, after making
an examination said that I had a serious
female troubles and liberation, and advised an
operation as my only hope. To this strongly
objected-and decided as a last resort to try
Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound.
''To my surprise the liberation healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared and am once
more strong, vigorous and well; and can
not express my thanks for what it has done
for me-"

ELEPHANT AT THE TELEPHONE
Animal Took Much Time to Learn
Ludicrous Trick.

So perfectly is this elephant broken
that he works by cues imperceptlble
to the audience. The trainer merely
raises his shoulders and the young
bull strides toward the telephone box,
turn the crank, ringing the bell, PICKS
up the receiver in his long trunk and
holds it to his great, flap ear. Then
he hangs it up with the suddcnness
of disgust, rings the bell second
time, and again holds the receiver to
his ear, while he listens with the
sage, bland expression which only an
elephant can assume. When finished,
he hangs up the receiver and rings
off,"
For something like two minutes
this performance lasts. Yet 1t re-
quired a month of steady, hard work
to break the elephant into this SIM
pie, ludicrous trick. More than 1000
times, actual count, Barlow had to
grasp Toms trunk, apply it to the
the bell crank and teach the circular
motion of ringing the bell, by leading
the trunk just as you might lead the
hand of a young child when teaching
it to wind a music box. More than
1000 times the trainer had to lead
the tip of the big receiver of the tele-
phone to teach the beast to hold it to
his ear and hang it accurately back
ON it's hook And when these details
were mastered, it took more than 500
trials to teach the succession of wind
ing the crank and listening before
Tom understood and knew enough to
twist the crank without breaking it
into halves at every coptact.-Aple-

worrv Postal Authorities.

Because the postal administration
has imposed a duty of five pfennigs
instead of two on postal cards intend
ed for urban delivery, the citizens OF
Hanover have inaugurated singular
strike against the postal authorities.
Instead of writing postal cards. they
all write letters, and, not satisfied
with sending their illusions in an en-
velope, they fill it with newspaper so
as to bring the weight of the letter to
tie maximum of ESQ grams. AS the
envelopes they now use are of the
maximum size tolerated it is easy to
abstruct letter box with only doz-

thorities are alarmed at this obstruc-
ton of the postal service. and 1t IS
probable that the former tariff OF two
pfennigs on postal cards will have to
be reestablished.

Gasoline and Alcohol,

The greater safety of alcohol, as
compared with gasoline for CONNER
cial uses, is due to the fact that it
will not ignite from pure radiated
heat, as gasoline does; that water will
extinguish burning alcohol while it
will only spread fire of gasoline, and
that the flames of burning alcohol ra-
dates very little heat while that OF
gasoline radiates heat very rapidly.
