The birthday of a mountain peak has

America, hut In September the birth
day OF Pixies peak. SO far as history
is concerned, will be observed by the
state Of Colorado, with President
Roosevelt and some Of the members
of his cabinet as guests. The occasion
will mark the one hundredth anniyer-
sary of the discovery of the mountain
By Lieutenant Zebulon Pike and may
possibly be the occasion of an inter-
national event OF some interest. When
Lieutenant Pike was captured by
Spanish soldiers In February, 1907, he
was relieved of several maps and
manuscripts, which We're never recov-
cred. They are supposed to have been
sent by the governor Of Santa Fe to
the vlceroy at the City Of Mexico and
by him forwarded to Madrid. AS the
Spanish are careful about the preser-

THREE FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FrEsT 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, dig
ziness and sleeplessness.
SECOND. The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures Of female ills Is Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetabla Compound.
III 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 backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, infam-
nation Of the female organs. weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains, II has also proved itself
invaluable In preparing women for
childbirth and the change Of life.
THIRD. The great volume Of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn.
Mass, many Of which are from time 10
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence Of the value of Lydia
r. pinkhaIn's Vegetable Compound and

advised Mrs. Pinlhan is daughter
in-law OF Lydia f.. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been adj
vising sick women free ofcharge. Out of
the vast volume Of experience in treat

has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, Is very foolish II she does not take
