Thousands of Women ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG Success of Lydia z. pinkham's Vegetable
 Compound Rests Upon the Fact that tt
 Really Does Make Sick Women Well.

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri- can women have been restored to health by Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegeta- ble Compound. Their letters are on file in Mrs. Pinkham's office. and prove this statement to be fact and not 8 mere boast.
 Overshadowing indeed is the success of this great medicine, and compared with it all other medicines and treat. ment for women are experiments.
 Why has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege' table Compound accomplished such widespread results for good?
 Why has 1t lived and thrived and done its glorious work for quarter of century?
 Simply and surely because of its ster- ling worth. The reason no other med. icine has even approached it's success Is plainly and positively because there is no other medicine in the world so good for women's ills.
 The wonderful power of Lydia E, Pinkham's Vegetable Compound oyer the diseases of wonankind is not be- cause it is stimulant-notb because 1t is a palliative. but simply because it Is the most wonderful tonic and recon structor ever discovered to act directly upon the female system, positively CURING disease and displacements and restoring health and vigor.
 Marvellous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures and physicians who have recognized the virtue in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, and are fair enough to give credit where 1t is due. If physicians dared to be frank and open, hundreds of them would acknowledge that they constantly prescribe Lydia B. Pink hams Vegetable Compound in severe cases of female ills, as they know by experience thatit will effect a cure.
 Women who are troubled with pain ful or irregular periods, backache, bloating tor iatulence), weakness, dis placements, inflammation, ulceration, that bearing-down' feeling, dizzi- ness. faintness, indigestion, nervous prostration or the blues, should take immediate action to ward of the seri- ous consequences. and be restored to health and strength by taking Lydia F. Piukham's Vegetable Compound. Any way write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. for advice. It's free and always helpful.

This matter was brought To the at tention of the mayor and aldermen several weeks ago by Postmaster Clayton and the work was arranged for without delay.

COMMITTEE MAKES FIGURES.
Assets md Liabilities of Fireman's
Fund Summarized.

The finance committee of the Policy
holders League has submitted a re-
port in connection with a recon-
mendation that the plan of settlement
proposed by the F'frerians Fund, Home
Fire and Marine and Pacific Underwrit-
ers companies shall be accepted. Ac-
cording to the figures presented by
the committee, the combined value of
the assets of the three companies. con-
sisting of money. bonds. stocks, insur-
ance and mortgage notes. is s4.516.-
55o25 The net liabilities. allowing for
very liberal collection of reinsur-
ance, are ss.230.z32.19.
The stockholders are scattered all
over the United States. Less than
per cent of the stockholders own 100
shares or more. No holding is more
than 400 shares. Under these condi-
tions, so the finance committee reports,
1T seems evident that suits for recov-
cry under stockholders liability would
be costly and uncertain of favorable
results. We have carefully considered
from all points of view the interest of
the policy-holders and have come to the
conclusion ana firmly believe that the
propositions OF the Fireman's Fund In
surance Company. as set forth in their
circular letter. Will result more favor
ably to the policy-holders than liquida-
ton. and we therefore advocate settle-
ment on the basis proposed-viz, so
per cent cash and so per cent stock"

gestion that Commissioner Wolf be i'm

NAL way. The suggestion met with
the views of the other members and
the letter will be sent Immediately.
IT was shown that a number of com
panics. among them the Eagle, had
removed from the State to keep policy
holders from suing them here.
In what manner the Governor could
cause Commissioner Wolf to do more
was not given out. but 1t is believed
to be the opinion that Wolf could give
policy holders more assistance IN their
fight toward forcing welching insur-
ance companies TO pay their just
debts.
The Grand Jury had Henry C. Quin-
by before it yesterday afternoon. but
he was not questioned. He was or
dered to appear before the meeting

ing normal forces in most occupations,
and there are no important labor strug-
giles to handicap progress. Autumn
distribution is very heavy. traders as
a rule preparing for needs well into
the future, while mercantile collec-
tions are quite as prompt as could be
expected in view Of the tight money
market.
There is some uncertainty in primary
markets for cotton goods. owing to the
expectation of lower prices in response
to cheaper raw material. but as yet no
concessions are offered. Demand for
woolen fabrics is also somewhat irreg-
ular. Other leading Industries report
great activity and strength The prices
of commodities rose during August in
the aggregate. dairy and garden prod
ucts supplying most OF the advance.
Compared with the position a year
ago, the advance is 4 per cent. Rail-
way earnings for the first week OF
September exceeded the figures of 1905
by 10 per cent.
