Thousands of American women, how
ever, have found relief from all monthly
suffering by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, as it is the most
thorough female regulator known to
medical science. 1t cures the condition
which causes so much discomfort and
robs these periods of their terrors.
Miss Irene Crosby, of 313 Charlton
Street, East Savannah, Ga, writes:
"Lydia E. PinkhamsVegetable Compound
is true friend to woman. 1t has been Of
great benefit to me, curing me of Irregular
and painful periods when everything else had
failed, and gladly recommend it to other
suffering women"
Women who are troubled with pain

One well-known New York woman
has discovered, like some others of her
sex, that it does not pay to be too Curl
Gus. One Of the old family retainers
is a Scotchman, named William, who
does not believe in CLOSING over the
truth for the sake of sparing his lis
tener's feelings. The woman in qUeS-
ton, although possessed of consider
able charm of manner, is not a beauty
and knows it. Her husband, recently
deceased, was a remarkably handsome
man, and his wife was one of his sin
cerest admirers. One day when she
was looking at her husbands picture
or the mantel in the sitting room, vii
liam was fuSSing around the CRATE, and

COTTON OF THE INcAS.
Culture in Peru Dates Back TO Pre-
historic Times,

historic Times.
Cotton growing in Peru dates back
to prehistoric times. and it is quite a
common occurrence to bring TO light
fine specimens of cotton textiles in dig
ging up ancient Inca graves, says the
New York Herald. At various times
subsequent to the conquest foreign va
rietes of cotton-Egyptian, Argelian,
Sea island, Metaffi-have been intro
duced among the plantations, but the
distinctly Peruvian variety, the Peru
Wan rough of commerce. still com
mands superior prices abroad. Exports
are chiefly to England and the United
States. The famous Peruvian rough
however, does not take kindly TO cult
vation in all parts of the republic, Inca
and Piura being the regions where ap-
parently it thrives best.
The variety called locally "Egyp
tian, which is our Upland of the
United States, grows rapidly in the
coast region of Peru. The Argelian
variety is less adapted to local condi
lions and suffers greatly from a preva
lent blight, the bane of cotton plant
ers, which is locally known as ''hielo'
(frost). 1t is probably of bacteriolog
ical origin, and, here at least, has nc
remedy. The Metafifi (Yanovitch) an6
Sea island are grown in spots along
the coast, chiefly at Supe and Huacho
near Lima, for export chiefly. The
limitations of the local mills form the
chief reason for the more prevalent
selection of the variety known as Egyp
tan, which is more easily worked thar
the others.

DECAYED STARCH.


An Asheville man tells how right
food did that which medicines had fail
ed to accomplish:
"For more than ID years" he says,
81 was afflicted with stomach trouble
and intestinal indigestion, gas forming
in stomach and bowels and giving me
great distress. These conditions were
undoubtedly due to the starchy food l
ate, white bread, potatoes, etc, and
didn't digest. l grew worse with time,
till 2 years ago, l had an attack which
the doctor diagnosed as appendicitis.
When the surgeon operated on me,
however, it was found that my trouble
was ulcer of the pancreas, instead of
appendicitis.
Since that time I have had sew
eral such attacks, suffering death. al
most. The last attack was about 3
months ago, and endured untold agon-
les
THE doctor then said that l would
have to eat less starchy stuff, so l be-
gan the use of Grape-Nuts food, for 1
knew it to be pre-digested, and have
continued same with most gratifying
results. 1t has built me up wonder
fully. l gained 10 pounds in the first s
weeks that I used Grape-Nuts, my gen
eral health is better than ever before,
my brain is clearer and my nerves
stronger.
For breakfast and dinner, each, I
take teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts with
cream, small slice of dry toast. an
egg soft boiled and cup of Postum
and l make the evening meal on Grape
Nuts and cream alone-this gives NE a
good nights rest and l am well again.

CHAPTER XII

1t was almost a month later that Mat
thew Mark Easton stepped fairly into
the circle of which Miss Winter was to
a certain extent the leading spirit. This
lady had been five minutes in the bril-
liantly lighted rooms of huge picture
gallery before she singled out the little
American. He happened to be talking 70
another insignificant, unobtrusive man,
who tugged neryously at a gray mustache,
while he listened. This was one of the
ablest ENJOYS ever accredited to the Court
of St. James by the United States.
Miss Winter knew most. of the faces
in the room, and among others that of
the american minister. Moreover, she
recollected perfectly the form and fea-
lures of Matthew Mark Easton.
The occasion was a vast assembly of
the fashionable, diplomatic, artistic and
literary worlds for the collection of
money and ideas toward the solution of a
socia, problem. The tickets were a guinea
each; there were choice refreshments at
a stated and ruinous price; soft carpets,
an exhibition of pictures, and the same
of dresses. l believe also that several
gentlemen read papers on the subject I'M
der discussion, but that was in the small
room at the end where no one ever went
Cladd Tyas was there, of course,
During the last month or two he had
been going out so much that one almost
expected 70 meet him, just as one ex-
poets to meet certain well-known faces
at every assembly. Miss Winter saw
him Immediately after noticing Matthew
Mark Eas.on, and before long he began
to make his way across the room toward
her. Wherever they had met during the
last few weeks, Tyars had invariably
succeeded in exchanging a few words
with Miss Winter, seeking her out with
equal persistence, whether Helen Grace
were with her or not. If. as the lady
opined, he was determined to be-
come one of their intimate friends,
he displayed no indecent haste, no
undue eagerness: and il so doing
he was perhaps following the surest
method. He had not hitherto showed the

Causes of Business Failures.

In recording the 1866 business failures
of 1905 in this country, Bradstreet's clas-
SITES the causes under eleven heads, chief
of which is lack of capital. Next to this
stands incompetence. The number of fail
ures due to fraud was comparatively
small, being only little over 10 per cent.
This would appear to show that ''the
commercial world is not permeated with
dishonesty" The number of failures was
about l per cent of the whole number of
concerns in business, which is lower than
eny wear since 1888. except 1900.
