Three FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FIRsr.-That almost every operation
In our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods. displacements
OF the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, diz-
ziness and sleeplessness.
SECoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
Z. Pinkham'S Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing baczache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, infiam-
nation of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their palms. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THIBD.-The great volume of unso-
Hcited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
toWomen.-Women to suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened. read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law of Lydia Z. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad-
vising sick women free of charge. Out of
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs. Pinlkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she doesnot take
advantage of this generous offer of
assistance.

A Few Salty Facts.


Nothing we eat cuts such figure in the
worlds daily spread as those more or less
whitish crystals, which we use season
after season, at the proper time, to pack
and preserve next years supply OF meats
Common salt-Chloride of Sodium-is the
worlds preventative. Food wouldn't keep
eaters OF food wouldn't keep-without
salt. Being so common and so necessary,
one would imagine the great world OF
users would know what salt is. But 1t
doesn't-it is well recognized fact that
nine out Of ten people, think salt is salt,
when really, most so called salt is mas
uuerading under an assumed name. Most
OF the salt you buy is actually con-
glomeration of unwholesome chlorides,
iron, gypsum and common dirt. Now
that you are "wise," you will recognize
the species by its sickly white, or positive
yellow color. This kind OF salt is
responsible for most of the spoiled meats
and unwholesome foods which have ru-
ined digestion since Lots wife went
"long" on the pure article and formed the
original salt trust. Now these impurities
we are talking about, found so freely in
common salt, will spoil the flavor of any
thing they get into. So the sooner a
world of meat eaters finds out that salt
isn't always salt, the sooner we'll arrive at
the age of pure foods. Really pure salt is
known now a days by the name "Worces-
ter" and is the product OF concern
which has made special study of how to
make salt that is true salt. The process
they follow is their own, and is vastly
more thorough in every detail, than any
other plant even attempts. So If you use
Worcester Salt in packing your meats, you
are certain to enjoy many good feasts later
Gu when winter comes.
People who have an article they wish TO
sell are apt to say much IN its favor, but
making due allowance for this very
human characteristic, it still remains true,
and is proved by the experience OF thou
sands, that Worcester Salt is the purest
article OF the kind known to commerce,
and does make the sweetest and best OF

COUNTY FAIR s

A county fair is an institution the ex- fined by state or national boundaries. Especially does this apply to those county fairs held in localities famous for their products of the soil and of the fireside and for their top-notch types of farm and domestic animals. They are about the sanest, most educationally beneficial institutions for amusement. when we'll conducted. that the list of public enter tainments affords.
 When the ordinary means of con- munication between counties and op- portunities for the exchange of con- modities were very limited, fairs were of great practical use. Their predominating amusement and sport features are growths of our more modern times. It it really cause for sincere regret that in mary of our older eastern communities popular fancy and patronage have turned away from the more wholesome county fairs to amusement enterprises afford ing greater sensation and possessed of little enduring value. In some states, particularly in New England, in years gone by the stronghold of rural fairs, they have actually sunk for the most part to insignifcance, and in not few conspicuous instances have entirely dis appeared.
 On the undoubtable wave of return- ing appreciation for the open country, however, and with an increase of the very perceptible inclination of large percentage of our people to hark back to rural living and the simple life, the country fair will again come gradually into its own, and therein there is just cause for general congratulation.

 Express business is very heavy at the present time, the shipments of fruit, particularly peaches, being large. Many trunks are also being sent by express by city people who are returning home, especially to Brooklyn.

The reason for the change is that the plan has not proved successful. There have been delays, complaints from shippers, and general confusion, some freight having been lost for weeks. After trial of more than two months the plan has proven fiat failure, hence the return to the old system. The freight was taken by boat from pier 3l to Bridge port. Now it has an all-rail journey direct from pier 45 as it formerly had.

TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION
Surprising Statements Touched Fer
 by W. H. Camp.

All of us who know Mir Camp are confident that he would make none but straightforward, honest statements, and when he tells you of the many Canaan people who have suffered for years with indigestion and have been cured through using Pepsillola tablets We must believe every word is true. No other remedy so quickly relieves and cures sour stomach, heartburn, coated tongue, nervousness. insomnia, debility, that rundown, tired. out feeling and every other trouble aris. ing from poor digestion. Mir. Camp con. tinues to sell Pepsikola tablets with the understanding that you can have your 25 cents back in case you are in the least disappointed. In the face of these facts nobody should hesitate an instant to avail themselves of the opportunity to regain perfect digestion, perfect health, renewed energy, new vigor and new vitality through the e'use of a remedy that does not cost penny should it fail to do all that is claimed. There IS no risk to you whatever and we ask Nuu to try it on MT. Camps guarantee.

cuperation. And that they are sincere ill their expressions is evidenced by the increasing numbers who come each year.
 We believe the Litchfeld County farmers and villagers should give more attention to the "city cousin" and pro- vide summer accommodations for him or her. It seems now not to be question of the farmer finding the boarder but of the boarder finding the farmer who will "take" him. The boarder is willing to pay fair, and in many instances very liberal, rate for such accommodations as may be found at almost any modern farm house. These people are not as particular as they were few years ago. In some cases they were unreasonable then but the desire for the simple life has overtaken them to a considerable ex- tent and now they are satisfied with fewer frills and fun bellows than they were in the days when the average city boarder was bunch of hauteur, conceit and frivolity wrapped up in s10 suit of clothes or a reduction sale tailor-made gown.
 They've changed their ideas of the country and the country people. They no longer scoff at the farmer and his vocation and call him a "hayseed" or a "Rube." The desire to get away from the crowded cities, even for brief time, and to commune with nature in her various phases as found in the country, is taking stronger hold of the city dweller each year and he has come to envy the farmer and villager to whom the broad expanse of green pastures, the stately mountains and the glistening brooks have become such familiar sights that they are no longer a novelty but are, as it were, part of his very being.
 The metropolitanite will be with us in greater numbers each year in the future. "Salt down" few extra hams, put two or three extra barrels of potatoes in the cellar this fall, arrange to enlarge the garden next spring, slick up the spare chamber bit with some fresh paper, a new coat of paint, etc., before the next vacation season rolls round. then say the word and you will have plenty of applications for board. The proceeds will help amazingly toward buying that new piano for the girls or the automobile for the boys or that pasture land neighbor Jones is willing to sell you or the several things "Mother" ought really to have to make her com fortable during the the twilight of life.

 Additional Lock Boxes.
 The demand for lock boxes at the post office is much in excess of the supply at the present time and Postmaster Rora- back contemplates providing at least 25 more. The kind he has in contemplation are unlike those in present use in that they are opened by means of combina- ton instead of a key. Boxes of this kind are now in use in the Norfolk post office. There is no possibility of the box renter losing his key but, on the other hand, there will be no guarantees handed out that he won't forget the combination. Goat Resumes Work.
