Miss MteMcD0n0Ed

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing down pains, fatulency, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, or other fe-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevita BILE result
The never-f failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald of Wood bridge,
n. j., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
" Restored health has meant 80 much to me
that cannot help from telling about it for
the sake of other suffering women.
"For long time l suffered untold agony
with a female trouble and irregularities,
which made me physical wreck and no one
thought would recover, but Lydia z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me well and strong, and
feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what splendid medicine it isl
For twenty-five years Mrs. Pinkham,
daughter-in-law of Lydia e. Pinkham,
has under her direction, and since her
decease, been advising sick women free
of charge. Her advice is free and
always helpful. Address, Lynn, Mass

SOUTHERN IMMIGRATION

''If the South wants immigra-
ton she will have to raise wages
to the level prevailing in the North
and West" This is a warming
from Commissioner Watchborn.
He further said: ''That 800 out
of 400 of the immigrants know
pretty well where they want to 60
when they reach our shores, !"
which all goes to show if the
Southern States mean to induce a
desirable class of immigrants to
come among them, and this is the
only class that it does want, or has
any need for, that it must make a
sustained effort to bring them here.
Most of the immigrants who leave
Europe for this country are bound
for the West or Northwest, and
probably never heard of theSouth,
or if they did, it was to its dispar-
agement. If tie Southern states
would judiciously spend money in
advertising, and, Ofcourse, there
is no use in spending money unless
1t is done judiciously, the oppor-
tunities and advantages of the
South and its resources would be
set before a class of immigrants
who would eventually come among
US, and whom we are in need of.
Hardly an industry of any magni-
tude in the South that is not
handicapped by scarcity of labor,
and one difficulty always in the
way of bringing manufacturing
enterprises South, is the lack of
intelligent labor. But if the South
cannot get the right kind of immi-
grants, it wants none.

DIDN'T CARE FOR THE MONEY

A Paris newspaper desired an
interview with Mr.. John d. Rock,
efeller. Knowing his time to be
valuable, the paper did not pro
pose to take any of it without COM
pensating him for it, says the Sa,
yannah News. A calculation was
made showing Mr.. Rockefeller S
income to be about 81, 900 an hour.
The editor thought his reporter
could get all the information he
wanted in fifteen minutes, so the
bright young man with the pad
and pencil was sent to the Amer
lean millionaire's hotel with 81 900
In his pocket to exchange for a
quarter of an hours interview
Mr.. Rockefeller's sen-in-law met
the reporter and refused his re.
quest. There are mighty few
Americans who wouldn't talk ff-
teen minutes for 81, 200.

DANGER IN OUR DAILY sREAD

In these days of microbe, bacter
la, adulteration and so forth, we
cling to life by very slender
thread if the scientists and reform
ers, breakfast food manufacturers
and vegetarians are to be believed.
Comes now III. B. Walmsley, a
pure food champion in the Nilsson
ri Legislature, for fifteen years an
inspector for the Missouri under
writer's, and person who has been
in every packing house in the
State, not once, but many times,
who deposes as follows;
"Fifty per cent. of the deaths
that occur in this country are the
direct results of impure and dis
honest foods. The packers are not
alone to blame. 1t is practically
impossible to get any pure food in
this country"
With this cheerful statement as
starter, the deponent proceeds:
III took up bill of fare in a
restaurant not long ago, and stud
led it. | found that the average
man takes forty-two doses of poi
son at every meal he eats.
The butter is colored with coal
tar dyes. The meat has more or
less embaIming fluid. The lard in
which his potatoes are fried prob
ably contains portions of hogs that
have died natural deaths, and not
been slaughtered under sanitary
conditions; possibly the animal
died of some disease. The catsup
he uses for a cOndiment is colored
with coal tar dyes and has salicyl-
ic acid in it. The bread is full of
alum. The tea and coffee contain
copper.
Even the vegetables that he
has ION the side have different va
rieties of coal tar dyes. These are
all harmful"
And then there is the pepper!
1t is all adulterated, Mr.. VANS
ley says. Hear him; "You can't
get any pure pepper. 1t is full of
cocoanut shells, sawdust and clay
just common clay, such as we
are all made of, according to the
Scripture. There is a grim fitness
in this, to my mind. Dust thon
art, to dust returnest, was not
spoken of the soul, according to
LoDg'ellow, but it can be most
truthfully spoken of the man that
eats pepper"
About the only way to escape
death from poison or dirt is to get
meat from Jewish butcher, own a
vegetable garden, avoid canned
goods, eat plain hoecake and ster-
ilize everything before eating or
drinking it. Josh Billings said it
was better not to know so much
than to know so much that amt
so. 1t is more comfor table to not
know some things that may be so.

Famous Baths.

Marie Antoinette's bath, which was
prescribed by her doctor, was com
pound of aromatic herbs mixed with a
handful of salt. She took it cold in
summer and tepid in winter.
Later on Nine Tallien had brought
every morning to her house twenty
pounds of Strawberries and two pounds
of raspberries, which were mashed in
her bath of warm milk and water. An
other preparation used by the eastern
women is composed of barley, rice,
HORACE, thyme and marjoram boiled
together and then thrown into the wa
ter.
Ninon de rEnclos took bath every
night in which there were salt, soda
and three pounds of honey mixed with
milk, all we'll beaten in tepid rain wa

ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS

Inc most gratifying sign of the
times is noted in the many Good
Roads Conventions that are being
held throughout the length and
breadth of the whole nation. Io-
cal, state and national interest is
being aroused as never before to
the Importance of securing the
rapid building of improved public
highways. The best and strong
est pIanks ever placed in any plat
form for the development of our
rural population, which is the
safeguard of all American pros
perity and institutions, are good
roads, better schools and an abund-
ance of churches. Let any COM
munity be fully equipped by these
three very highly importan ad-
juncts of modern civilization, and
progressive development will go
forward undated by leaps and
bounds. Good roads increase and
multiply the value of property,
they increase the social pleasures
of rural life and render one Of the
chief necessities of country life a
pleasure to the poor man as well
as to the wealthy. Good roads lay
by the foundation for improve
ment to the country home, the in
auguration of a higher incentive
to broadening of the intellectual
faculties of rural life and the de-
velopment of higher type of civ
ilization from every standpoint.
Good roads solve the problems OF
quicker transportation and reduce
to minimum the economic wear
and tear on vehicles and animals
required to transport the products
of the farm to the markets of the
country.

Cause For LiberaIity.

An old Georgia darky who had buried

and asked the Lord to guide him to the
place. While he was praying a storm
came up and lightning struck the near

TIE PARLOR.
1t Is Rapidly Becoming an Apartment
of the PaNt.

on the GaSS.
The American parl0r is a thing of the
past, according to architects, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer No more will
there be room reserved for state &C.
casionS, such as the receiving Of form
I'll calls, the visit of the minister and
for weddings and for funerals
We never take the parlor into con
sideration any more" said a Cleveland
architect recently. The parlor IS
merged into the living room The good
old fashioned rarlor, which was held
in SO much reverence in the old days,
has no place in modern architecture
The demand is for large living
room in a small house, together with a
dining room ana kitchen. In a larger
house the"e is usually large living
room, library, dem dining room and
kitchen.
Il had a client yesterday who desired
to have Il reception room or parlor not
connected with the living room. He
decided later to have sort of recep-
ton room in connection with the hall
way.
when the parlor idea began to lose
ground we did not make a radical
change, but reduced the parlor to a
small reception room, isolated from the
others, where formal calls could be re.
eeived Now we make no provision
for the parlor.
I'm these days the reception rooms
do not have to be closed only to be
opened on the occasion of the visit of
the family minister or the physician"
There may be many who will regret
the passing of the old fashioned coun-
try parlor, with all its memories of Wis
itors, courtship and occasions which
left impressions which have not been
eradicated by the strenuous age of to-
day.

FIRE USES A PANIC
EIGHTEEN NEGROES KILLED AND
FIFTY HURT IN STAMPEDE
AT PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia, Jan. 22.-Eighteen ne
groes were killed and fifty injured in
q stampede following the discovery of
q fire in st. Paul's Baptist church.
The stampede began with the first
cry. There were no flames visible, no
threatening glare, just a tiny thread of
smoke trickling through the wainscot-
ing, but it had driven 500 men and
women into a blind, u~nreasoning panic.
The glass doors al the rear of the
room were swept aside and shattered
In the rush. Men and women began to
pile pellmell down the narrow, wind
ing stairs. The first few got out in
safety. Then some stumbled and fell
and the sacrifice began.
In three seconds after the stampede
began there was a tangled mass, most
ly women, who were the weakest, ly-
ing In a writhing mass at the foot Of
the stairs. trampled upon and crushed.
Men and women no longer ran down
the stairs; they fell.
In the terrible crush few Of the wo-
men or children had any chance for
life. OF the ten victims taken to the
children's hospital seven were women.
two were small children and the other
was an old man.

result of an explosion. Two hundred
and twelve Of the crew persisted and
only one officer was saved.

Four rear admirals persisted on the
Aquidadan, which had been used for
