Mrs. Craigie's Address.

An amusing story of the late Mrs.
Craigie, the noted novelist, was told
the other day at the Authors club in
New York.
When Mrs. Craigie was in America
last year." said the editor, she was
invited to make an address at GER
tain NJ .eting. She accepted the invi-
tation, but her name, through some
oversight, was put far down ON the
programme, and worse than that, the
chairman, a rather stupid person, In
troduced before her some speakers
who were not on the programme at
all.
I'm short, 1t was close on to IL
o'clock when the chairman, with q
pleasant smile, bowed and said:
Mrs. Craigie, the eminent author
Of Some Emotions and Moral, Will
now give us her address,
Mrs. Craigie rose and said, calmly:
MY address is No. Sc Lancaster

now wish you all goodnight, for am

When physician tells woman, SUI
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 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 operatio 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.
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 Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did me. The doctor said could

Vegetable Compound had saved other women
from serious operations / decided to try it,
and in less than four months L was entlrely
cured; and words fail to express my thank

Miss Margret Merl1ley, of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
.'Loss of strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearlng-down pnhs' anu an
irritable disposition compelled me to seek
medical advice The doctor, after making
an examination said that l had serious

operation as my only hope. To this strongly

ITO my surprise the liberation healed, all

For thirty years Lydia e. Pinlham's

the worst forms of female complaints,
all functional troubles, Inflammation,
liberation, falling and displacement,

and nervous prostration. Any woman

FREIGHT CAR RATE RAISED
Blow at Companies Using the Cars
Without Right to Do So.

In order they say to hasten the move
ment Of empty freight cars for the
benefit of shippers forty of the more
important railroads of the country have
advanced the per diem rate on freight
cases to fifty cents. to take effect De-
cember /.
Under the present per diem rates
railroads are charged 20 cents per day
per car for the equipment of other rail-
roads while in their use or possession.
1t has long been claimed by the larger
companies that the smaller roads have
always found it cheaper under the
present rates to use the cars of other
lines than to provide their own. and
that in times of car strngency they
(the larger companies) are the worst
sufferers, Notwithstanding that they
provided themselves with cars suffi-
cient to meet even worse than the
ordinary demands of their own traffic.
The new agreement entered into in
no way affects the provisions of the
present per diem rules, except as to
rates and the penalty for delay among
the roads to the agreement. Provision
has also been made for the appoint
ment Of a committee of three to be
known as Car Hire Committee" 4"
which viii settle all disputes arising
under the agreement, and will pass
upon all applications to become a party
to the agreement that may be made
