There are cases where an operation
is the only resource, but when one con-
siders the great number of cases of
menacing female troubles cured by
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound after physicians have advised
operations, no woman should submit to
one without first trying the Vegetable
Compound and writing Mrs Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass, for advice, which is free.
Miss Margret Merkley, of 275 Third
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
Loss of strength, extreme nervousness,
shooting pains through the pelvic organs,
bearing down pains and cramps compelled
me to seek medical advice The doctor, after
making an examination, said had female
trouble and liberation and advised an opera
ton. To this strongly objected and decided
to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. The liberation quickly healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared and / am
once more strong, vigorous and well"
Female troubles are steadily on the
increase among women. If the month
ly periods are very painful, or too fre-
quent and excessive you have pain
or swelling low down in the left side,
bearing-down pains, don't neglect your
self: try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.

At this time of the year the very
prettiest possessions in the wardrobe
are brought forth. No more saving
now for great occasions, summers
reign is brief at the best, and let us
wear out summer stuffs ere the season
vanish. A group of warm-weather
frocks of exceptional beauty we are
tempted to dwell upon. One was a dull
pink muslin, made in quaint modified
Empire fashion; worn with this a
short sacque coat of dark red glace
silk, the hat black chip draped with
black lace and bearing single red
rose In front. A tall dark-eyed girl
wore white muslin dress and a short
light blue glace coat, with white lace
lingerie hat trimmed with light blue
ribbon. A matron looked exceedingly
well in little black glace coat accom-
panying white voile skirt, a white
embroidered collar standing out
against the black of the coat.
White and yellow are sometimes
very sood together, especially if only a
little of the color be used. A white
Danish cloth dress, creamy in tone,
and trimmed with straps of cream
silk, was worn with a yellow straw
hat adorned with yellow plumes This
costume was effective, and a change
from all-white quite pleasing. The
parasol, Of course, was white. Nine out
of every ten parasols seen are white.
A white wool trimmed with bands
of light gray is modish, introducing
the pale gray note and the strap trim
ming liked on tailored dresses. Not a
little brilliant green is used in ribbons
for midsummer millinery, and hat
crowns are now of a remarkable
height. This does not mean that the
low-crowned hat Of early spring is rel
egated to things that were, but that
new midsummer chapeaus have much

vet band edged the short sleeve, the
little jacket was closed in front by
buckle-adorned black velvet ribbon
ends. The dusky soft ribbon was very
pretty against the beautiful lace.
A number of refreshing simple hats
are worn with the simple morning tub
frocks, trimming reduced to the lowest
terms. One charming black chip sail
or has twined about it's crown a
wreath of crimson ramblers, a blue
sailor a garland of baby white roses,
an all white hat a careless spray of
daisies and nothing else. And the lit
tie frocks themselves are so fresh and
neat, as rule one-piece dresses.
White mohairs and Panamas in
crease in number, perhaps the best
models those trimmed only with tuck
ing. Tucking is used for lingerie
waists again; some of the newest mod
els are made of all-over tucking. The
materials are of the softest and finest,
and, d comfort to the laundress, such
iron very easily; even tucking need
have no terrors for the wash lady.
With these waists lace and embroidery
are used sparingly, and must be the
finest of the fine.

Rhodes"
Some of Pittsburg's men of great for.
tune made their wealth in steel. Gas
greatly inflated the fortunes of others.
Not a few struck OIL" Not a few
sold out to trusts and combinations and
made huge profits, and here, as else
where, graft has created and added to
golden store. Some have made their
money in beef, and some in beer; some
in stogies, and some in steam engines,
to say nothing of the alchemists who
have transmitted into gold window
glass, plate glass, bottles, lamp chin
neys, armor plate, locomotives, sewer
pipes, air brakes, electric motors, and
a thousand and one other things

Many the ways the money has been
made, many the ways the money is
spent. And having given tacit promise
not to dwell on $4,000 banquets to
footlight favorites, let us confine our
selves to mention of more substantial
ways of disposal of wealth. Mr.. Car
negie's unique profession of giving
away money is too well known to need
any comment. Let us speak of less
wellknown Mr.. Phipps. Henry Phipps
started life as Office boy and clerk, be-
came after Carnegie largest owner of
United States Steel, and let us speak
of ways in which this second steel
magnate manages to reduce his income.
Mr.. Phipps has a passion for flowers,
and holds 20 the belief that flowers,
like music, hath power; and personally
we like the idea of bestrewing peoples

The Other Kingdom.

The teacher had been instructiny the
class about the three kingdoms If the
universe, and to make it plain she
said: Everything in our schoolroom
belong to one of the three kingdoms
our desks to the vegetable kingdom,
our states and pens to the mineral
kingdom, and little Alice" she added,
looking down at the child nearest her.

Alice looked up quite resentfully, and
her eyes filled with tears, as she an
swered: Teacher, fink you are mis-
taken, for my mamma says that all
little children belong to the kingdom
of Heaven. n."-Lippincott's Magazine.

forgets the outlay. With the pink
handkerchief linen a very fine Swiss
embroidery goes beautifully, and en-
ploy the embroidery sparingly, not to
detract, from daintiness. There is
no lovelier summer combination than
the combination of pink and white, and
to-day the pinks all being in such es-
TEEN, it has fashion as well as pretti-
ness to commend it.
Very delicate dresses are worn on
the street, the public thoroughfares
thereby given holiday aspect. Once
it would have appeared strange to see
a matron strolling along the street in
dress of pale blue silk, but not to-
day. A young matron looks very
pretty and youthful in a gown of light
blue taffeta, it's fashion so simple as to
cause no comment when made use of
as church dress. There is a separate
upper part and ruffled sleeve of cream
cotton lace, so soft and pretty one for
gets TO criticise quality. The girdle.
as girdles should be, is of the material
of the main part of the dress-nothing
more awkward, it seems to us, than
a gir6le drawing attention to the
point where waist and skirt meet To
return to the costume whose details we
have suggested, the hat accompanying
this toilet is a yellow lace straw, the
long gloves the same shade.
For the aesthetic value, every big
automobile should have group of
summer ladies on the back seat, their
voluminous draperies and floating wells
taking from the machine aspect of the
ugly vehicles. Yesterday an auto
flashed by with three ladies in the
rear seat, and we noted all three wore
white chiffon wells, and that the effect
was better than when colors are
Haunted. If of good quality the chif-
fon veil may be washed in soap and
water, is cleanly veil and dainty. The
wearing of two wells is still indulged
in, though many women eschew even
one in the heat of the summer.

paths with flowers fully as well as the
benefaction that provides books. Flow
ers make an appeal to all, no matter
the mentality or station or age, and a
Flower Benevolence is pleasing to con-
template. Mr.. Phipps not only has
beautiful conservatorieS on his own es-
tates in which he takes great interest,
but ne has bestowed much better ones
upon outsiders. He has given the city
of Pittsburg as perfectly appointed
and complete conservatory as exists
anywhere. The city of Allegheny has
received from him similar gift, and
the Western penitentiary, located in
Allegheny, has been presented by Mr.
Phipps with conservatory of great
value and beauty.
Then there is COL Guffey, probably
the largest individual oil producer in
the United States, who spends his OIL
gotten gains in furthering the interests
of the Democratic party in Pennsylva-
MIA and in building Methodist church
es. Mr. Guffey has loaned for use as a
polling place a handsome building ad-
joining bis own mansion, and the place
is put to no other purpose.
In Pittsburg we have an instance OF
a young nan inheriting pile of mou-
ey and, tholgh born with the silver
spoon, never having known the dinner
pail, hot devoting time and shekels to
a life of giddy pleasure. We refer to
Mr.. Douglas Stewart, his father one of
the Carnegie group. All his life
evincing an interest in curios and coll
lections of curios. he now makes pro-
fession of what seemed once but an
early hobby; occupies the position of
assistant to the director of the Car
negie museum.
AS the years go by and the families
of the PfttsDurg millionaires grow ac-
customed to money and the things that
money can get, it will be of interest ts
observe what the Pittsburg millionaire
will represent; whether, the typical enc
will add to the fame, or the infamy, of
the city. CHRISTOPHER WEBSTER

Glass That Keeps Out Heat.

An Austrian inventor, Richard Szig-
mondy, is reported to have made new
kind of window glass whose chief Pc
culiarity is that it prevents the pass
age of nine-tenths of the heat of the
suns rays.
1t is well known that ordinary win
dow glass allows nearly all of the heat
derived from the sun to pass through,
but, on the other hand, intercepts al
heat coming from non-luminous
sources, such as stove or the heated
ground. This is the reason why heat
accumulates under the glass roof of a
hothouse.
If covered with Szigmondy's glass a
hothouse would, it is claimed, become
cold house, since the heat could not
get into it. One advantage set forth
in favor of the new glass is that
house whose windows were furnished
with 1t would remain delightfully."- cool
In summer. But in winter, perhaps,
the situation would not be SO agreeable.

June Migration of Butterflies,

The butterflies on toward the end
of June cross the Isthmus of Panama.
For a week or more. in untold mil
lions, they put out to sea. They make
a cloud, dazzling cloud Of cleaning
blues and greens, between the clear
sky and the clear water. Birds fol-
low them, eating them by hundreds.
Sometimes the wind drives them
eastward. Then they may be caught,
like dead leaves, in great handfuls.
Every June this migration takes
place. Where the butterflies come
from and where they go no man
knows.

Gle presented such a vivid picture of
the newly rich folk of the newly rich
town we are tempted to quote the
writer's words directly and at some
length: at was said in the time Of the
first Napoleon that every private in
his army carried marshaPs baton in
his krapsack. 1t might be said with
equal truth in Pittsburg that every la
borer carries in the bottom of his din
ner pail dress suit and blank check
book that he may be at all tines ready
to take his place in society and in the
world OF business, in case sudden
turn of the wheel of fortune, or nod
from the powers that be, lifts him, as
it has lifted others as humble, to the
Seats of the Mighty. Forty obscure
clerks and Office men, who used to
work for Andrew Carnegie, blossomed
forth into full-fedged millionaires al
most in a day, and half as many more
have emerged from the Offices of
George Westinghouse to take their
places on the pedestals set aside for
those with bank accounts in seven fig
ures. Pittsburg can hardly be called
a large city, as cities go these days,
but it boasts of more than $50 million
aires, or not far from one in every l.
500 of poplation. Five-sixths Of these
have won their wealth within the last
40 years, and perhaps three-fourths
within the last 25 years. Never before
has wealth been piled up so rapidly"
Industrially Pittsburg is most ad-
vantageously situated; it is the center
of the iron, steel and glass industries
of this country, and the largest ship
ping point for bitumiaous coal. Coal
was the foundation of the Smoky City's
wealth, and coal gave the nickname it
of late years has been trying to throw
off.

springs up on all sides wonderful
variety of frivolous little coats. But
not a few possess a beauty that gives
them an excuse for being. Just the

of an all-white toilet, the material of
the small wrap beautiful, rather
heavy linen lace. 1t was half loose

June 1, IL a. MT is five years to-

Diary.
At first-after it was all over-I
couldn't bear to see or to touch the
little book; then when that feeling
had dulled, 1 forgot all about it.
But this morning, came across the
volume which holds the flamboyant
fancies from II to 20; and mood has
seized me that after five years 1 will
again turn to my paper confidant.
Poor little book! you are faded and
yellow on the margins: like your wri-
ter-the worse for wear! From II to

Who could help growing the worse

swift, spontaneous kiss, George did not
make any effort to come near me

Pittsburg's millionaires have done a
great deal to make the city famous,
Pittsburg's millionaires have done
much to make the city Infamous. OF
late we have had instances not few
of the latter, until the prosperous
smoky town there at the junction of
the Monongahela and Allegheny has
become byword and reproach, an IL
lustration that money is the root of
much evil-to again misquote that Oft
misquOted proverb.
But even the most careless must ad-
NIT that there are millionaires and
millionaires, that not all are given over
to the world and the flesh. And per-

To be sure the fabulous wealth did

In Pittsburg it is no wonder they, a

have gone mad for no less reason, and

to the good old bedrock virtues, but a
kind OF madness? 1t takes a pretty
level brain to stand success, and to rise
from job of dollar day to the
control of multi-millions as rule is a
little too much for mere man. In a

Notice to Barley Growing Farmers.

Notice to Barley Growing Farmers.
Do not cut your barley before it is
thoroughly ripe. Second, shock and
cap well. Third, do not thrash out
of shock. Fourth, stack your barley
and let it sweat and cure in stack,
take care so that it does not heat in
bin after thrashing. BY following
these instructions you will improve
the quality of your grain and thereby
realize the highest price in the mar
ket. The Maltsters will absolutely re-
fuse to purchase barley which has
been otherwise handled. John Moth,

AGRICULTURAL NOTES

j. G. Allison OF Aurora township
this county, reports that he raised
over thirty bushels OF fine apples in
his orchard this season and brought
in samples Saturday as evidence.
1t may not be generally known that
the Brookings fruit market is and has
for some time been supplied with
South Dakota grown apples, but this
is true and they are of fine flavor
equal to the best grown anywhere.
Owing to the wet season it was feared
that the corn crop might not matu re
before frost, but those fears we're ground
less as during the past three weeks the
ripening process has been going on so
rapidly that the farmers have not been
able to cut the corn IN time to make
prime fodder. 1t is doubtful if many
states in the union can exhibit better
quality OF the cereal this year than has
been grown right here in South Dakota.
