Could Lake His Choice

At a recent inquest in a Pennsyl-
vania town, one of the jurors, after
the usual swearing in, arose and with
much dignity protested against serv-
ice, alleging that he was the general
manager of an important concern and
was wasting valuable time by sitting
as a juror at an inquest
The coroner, turning to his clerk,
said: "Mr. Morgan, kindly hand me
'Jervis (the authority on iuries). J"
Then, after consulting the book. the
coroner observed to the unwilling
juror:
Upon reference to Jervis, I find,
sir, that no persons are exempt from
service as jurors except idiots, imbe-
Giles and lunatics. Now, under which
heading do you claim exemption?'-

When physician tells 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 operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach 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.
Tie strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of st.
Andrews Society, indianapolis. Ind,
writes of her cure as follows:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham.--
cannot find words to express my thanks
for the good Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound did me. The doctor said could

rhe count nook Judicial NotIoe.

A New Jersey correspondent con
tributes the following in regard to
recent happening in the court of To-
cal magistrate:
A justice in this city, upon com
plant, issued his warrant for an al
legged violation OF an ordinance of the
city relative to the registering of dogs
The complaint and warrant were both
bad Upon the defendant being
brought before him, the justice said:
How do you plead, guilty or not

Had Church Roof Fixed.


Miles Finlen. the rich Montana cop
per miner, visited some relatives in
Bay City, Mich, recently. He attend
ed services in an old wooden church,
and while there a rainstorm came up.
The roof leaked, and some water fell
on Finlen's neck. After the services
had ended he asked one of the church
officials why in blazes don't you
give people decent place to worship
In ?" Il suspect it's because we haven't
the money" was the suggestive reply.
Next afternoon material for new
roof began to arrive in front of the

Vegetable Compound had saved other women

and in less than four months / was entirely
cured; and words fail to express my thank
fulness."
Miss Margret Merkley, Of 275 3D.
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Loss of strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps bearing-down pains, and an
irritable disposition compelled me to seek
medical advice. The doctor, after making
an examination, said that | had serious
female trouble and liberation, and advised an
operation as my only hope. To this strongly
objected-and l decided as last resort to try
Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound.
ITO my surprise the liberation healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared, and | am once
more strong, vigorous and well; and can
not express my thanks for what it has done
for me-
Serious feminine troubles are steadi-
ly on the increase among women-and
before submitting to an operation
every woman should try Lydia Il.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass,
for advice.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been curing
the worst forms of female complaints,
all functional troubles, inflammation,

The municipal slaughter house,

ion as DR.. Powers it is probable the
board will ask the city council to pro-
vide the means for establishing such
an institution.
Failing a municipal abattoir the
board will recommend that the city
adopt more stringent laws governing
the slaughtering of food animals and
provide additional meat inspectors. In
this way, ii is believed, the danger of
tainted meat can be overcome.
The city has no authority over meat
slaughtered outside the limits, but it
is within the power of the council to
pass laws regulating the meat sold in
the city.
DR.. Powers idea for public slaugh-
ter house has been one of his pet
schemes since the day he first took Of
flee.
At frequent intervals he has recon-
mended that such an institution be es-
tablished and every butcher who sold
meat In Los Angeles be compelled to
kill his animals at the public abattoir,
where the operation could be carefully
watched. But every such recommends
tion has gone into some pigeonhoe

America Comic Opera Land
Special Gable to The Herald.


PARIS, June "A new book on
America has just appeared from the
pen of M. Paul Adam. Commenting
upon this work editorially, the Cri de
Paris, powerful weekly publication,
says: 1.-THE author has at a glance
judged a nation which rewards daring
with fortune and a country IN which
riches are acquired only by work"
This thoughtful book by M. Adam
comes timely The fact is that we We're
inclined to look upon America as a sort
of comic opera land. All the phases of
the intellectual and industrial life of
the most powerful the most imperial-
istic nation in the world, are presented
to us with consummate art. If Ameri-
can industry already has revolution
lied universal commerce as much in
its production as i'm its method of sale.
so also has American thought in
huenced European brains.
