While no woman is entlreIy free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer SO severely. This is a
severe strain on q woman's vitality.
When pain exists something is wrong
which should be set right or it will
lead to q 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 q safe and sure way of
escape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell SO con-
vincingly what Lydia +. Pinkham s
Vegetable Compound will do for
to thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie Holmes, of $40 N. Division
Street, Buffalo, N. Y, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
medicine is indeed an ideal medicine
for women. l suffered misery for years with
painful periods, headaches, and bearing down
palms. consulted two different physicians
but failed to get any relief A friend from the
east advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham

every ache and pain is gone, and my general
health is much improved. advise all women
who suffer to take Lydia E. Pinkhams Vege-

"Mock Turkey" for Thanksaivino

A novel suggestion for Thanksgiv-
Ing party Is Mock Turkey" One
was made last year by taking knit
ting basket and covering 1t with
brown holland. The handle Of the
basket ran lengthwise. thus serving
as an excellent breast bone for the
turkey. The brown holland was
artistically adjusted to simulate legs
wings and neck. 1t was then tinted
to the requisite shades by the liberal
use of burnt umber paint. The stuf
fing of this turkey consisted OF triiiing
gifts, accompanied with appropriate
rhymes. The carving" Of the turkey
was attended with much pleasant ex
element. The operation consisted In
making strenuous preparations for It,
then suddenly with n dextrous move
ment OF the fork, lifting the entire
"skin." laying bare the interesting
"stuffing."

very grateful for what Lydia E. PinkhamS
Vegetable Compound has done for me-"
Such testimony should be accepted
by all women as convincing evidence
that Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound stands without a peer as q
remedy for all the distressing ills Of
women.
The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound rests upon tho
well-earned gratitude of American
women.
When women are troubled with pain

cera,ion OF the organs, that bearing

as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, ex-

remember there is one tried and
true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound at once removes
such troubles. Refuse to buy any other
medicine. for you need the best.
Don't hesitate to write to Mrs.
Pinkham if there is anything
about your sickness you do not
understand. She will treat you
with kindness and her advice ts
free. No woman ever regretted
writing her and she has helped
thousands. Address Lynn. Mass.

SUMPTUoUs REPAsT OF
HALF A CENTURY AGO
Have Been for Heavy Dishes
and Many Of Them.

AT thanksgiving time so much is
heard of old-fashioned dinners that it
may be interesting to readers to hear
what the term signified in Philadel.
Ohia some years ago.
About so years ago large dinner
was very different to what it is now
In the first place courses, such as we
know them, were practically unknown; ;
even in the wealthiest houses there
was rarely anything but soup preced.
ing the actual dinner, but this soup
was generally very rich.
Such dinner consisted about as
follows: First handsome silver-cov.
cred soup tureen was placed on the
table, filled with mock turtle or per.
haps venison soup, and all were
plentifully helped, the great silver
ladle, corresponding to the tureen,
doing good service. After the soup
plates were removed a great roast
turkey decked with celery and Gran.
berries and marvelously trussed and
dressed was placed at one end of the
table while at the other was large
piece of la mode beef on platter.
Roast duck and apple sauce some
times took the place of la mode
beef but the two ends of the table
had always their respective meats or
poultry. Sweet and white potatoes
and every sort of vegetable to be had
obtained place on the festive board,
while cunning molds of cranberries
and jellies and gravies, pickles and
in n hun 1an
There was generally what was
known as an "oyster pie"-stewed
oysters served in puff-paste shell,
the rich dressing of the oysters be,
ing made thick with egg.
There was no salad course, but OF
desserts there was no dearth. Pump
kin pie, mince pie, and always won
derfully constructed meringue and
either jelly or custard, sometimes
both, served in glasses. while plates
and nutcrackers were handed around
for the nuts.
The centerpiece was invariably a
great pyramid of fruits arranged on
cut-glass or Dresden china epergne,
and, when the table was very long,
there were sometimes two of these
fruit pyramids.
A little later, after the guests had
adjourned to the drawing-room, coffee
ices and fancy cakes were served to
them there. There were no little
after-dinner coffee cups in those days,
but generous breakfast sizes of finest
French eggshell china. often exquisite.
ly handpainted with landscapes or
picked out in gold.
When there was large party of
young people, separate table was
set for them in the small library,
which in those days, was generally
built back of the dining-room, the
latter being in the back building of
the second floor, corresponding to the
library or sitting room of to-day.
The back parlor" was used only as
such then or as a breakfast room, the
state dining-room being invariably
upstairs. and sometimes there was
not even a dumb-waiter to assist in
carrying things up from the kitchen
below. so that n large dinner was no
easy matter to serve in those days of
large families and lavish hospitality.

Four-Footed Thieves.

In Winchester, England, a grocer
began to miss money from his till,
and set his wife to watch. After two
weeks the wife was not able to de-
tect the thief, though money was
stolen almost every day. There were
two clerks in the store, and the
grocer finally called them thieves
and discharged them.
When two others had taken their
places the money continued to dis
appear, and the case was given to the
police. An officer who hid under the
counter solved the problem. He
found bits of paper representing
about $50 that the mice had made
nests of. They had entered the till
through a hole in the back and taken
the bills one at time.
The two clerks who had been dis
charged for dishonesty brought suit
for damages, and the other day the
grocer was compelled to pay them
5000 each.
