The seat of the State government of any commonwealth demands the attention and interest of every law abiding citizen of that state, and there is no construction work being done in this State at this time which com mands the attention of as many people as that being done in the western part of Little Rock, the capital city of Ar kansas. On this hill, located on spot easily accessible, the building is now beginning to show up for what it is worth Passengers on the Rock Is land main line trains. and Iron Noun tain main line trains can see a great change in the northern end of the structure within a very short time. Passengers on the Highland Park and Pulaski Heights car lines can also note these and other changes which have been made in the past thirty days. But it is on the interior of the building that the greatest work has been and is being done. Many expert decorators are now employed on the inside work and the place is beginning to assume the appearance it will pre- sent to the State officials when fully scompleted.

The balus- Tade, which has been placed only within the past few days, adds ma terially to the appearance of the build ing, and is such an improvement from a distance that the new building has had an ever increasing number of wis itors for some days past. The gable at tha north end has been completed some months, but until very short time ago the stone for the more artis tic and decorative finishings had not arrived
 The gables for the entire building, with but one exception, have been set. The gable over the main entrance has not been completed and will not be for some little time. However, on the west end and all intermediate gables, are in place.

When a physician tells a woman, suf-
fering from female trouble, that an
operation is necessary it, of course,
frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. As one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for just such operationsl
It is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.

The greater safety of alcohol, as
compared with gasoline for CONNER

will not ignite from pure radiated

that the flames of burning alcohol "a
