THREE FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FTRsT.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, dir
illness and sleeplessness.
SECoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
It regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, inf1am-
nation of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
icited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
toWomen.-Women suffering from any
form Of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pimkham is daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been adj
vising sick women free of charge. Out of
the vast volume Of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich Or
poor, is very foolish if she does not take
advantage of this generous offer OF
assistance.

BIG INCREASE IN DEATHS.
More Road Passengers and Employees
Are Killed in 1905 Than in
Previous Year.

Springfield, Ill.-During 1905 there
was great increase in casualties to
passengers carried by the railroads
of Ihinois, according to the annual re-
port of the state board of railroad
and warehouse commissioners.
During 1905 Sc passengers were
killed on Illinois railroads, an in
crease of Al over 1904, while 297 EN-.
ployes were killed. Seven hundred
and seven passengers were injured, az
compared with 245 in 1904, and 3,27o
employees were injured. The total
mileage Of steam railroads in the
state is 1885 miles, not including
Ais miles of industrial tracks. In
crease in main lines during 1905 is
107 miles.
A rule adopted by the commission
some time ago to prevent interurban
tracks from crossing steam roads at
grade is given in the report, and the
board says that many applications for
grade crossings have been refused.
The board advocates a block system
on all railroads. The number of per-
sons employed on Illinois railroads in
1905 was 115,447, an increase of 9,617
over 1904.
The commission appeals for closing
frogs for the protection of trainmen.
The total mileage of electric roads,
both surface and elevated, is 1872
miles, an increase during the year of
176 miles, and these roads carried
162,549,535 passengers.

The LATEST Man.

1.-The LATEST man l ever saw" said
a travelling man to a group of fellow
drummers at a Chestnut street cafe,
recently, was not a tramp nor a cop
but a station agent in little one
horse village in Idaho.
after l had finished what little
business l could do in the town,
went down to the railroad station to
buy a ticket for my next stop. The
lazy stationmaster sat on a broken
down office chair, his feet on the desk
and pipe in his mouth, unlit. When
asked for the ticket he slowly
reached up to the rack. drew it out,
handed it to me and took my money
without bestowing a glance upon me
or moving from his chair.
"'That's the LATEST thing 1 ever
saw 1 said to him. If you can do
anything lazier than that, I'll give you
this dollar Without the slightest
curiosity or even interest the loafer
drawled: Put it in my pocket and
I did. '-Philadelphia Record.

trade. Day after day he toiled, with
but few pleasures and no prospect, sc

Like all men of his trade, he was
peculiarly the slave of his business
for when work fell slack he dared moi
take employment at rOugh-and-ready

BEFORE RAILROAD DAYS.
The First Train Is Not So Old as
Youngsters Sometimes
Think.

Did you go to the st. Louis fair? II
you did, and you failed to see the rail
road exhibit you missed a wonderfully
interesting part of 'the show" You
missed seeing what may be called the
evolution or development of that Won
derful invention, the railroad engine.
writes j. l.. Harbour in St. Nicholas
The trouble is that the boys and girls
of to-day are so accustomed to the
railroad that they think little of all
that it represents. Some of them may
be like little girl l happen to know
who once said:
why, papa, didn't we always have
railroads."
Just ask your grandparents about
that. l have an idea that some OF
them will tell you that they were men
and women long before they ever saw
railroad engine. A man but As years
old told me the other day that he
walked ten miles with some other
boys when he was ten years old to see
a railroad train.
II udS uOI UCcA oO Wei y udhy yCdl
since the most intelligent men and
women laughed and even jeered at the
mere idea OF people riding at the rate
of Is or 20 miles an hour. When
George Stephenson first began to talk
about inventing an engine to be run
On lines of wooden or iron track, the
people looked upon him as a dreamer
a visionary who might not be quite
fright in his head"
But this George Stephenson, Of Wy
lam, near Newcastle, in England, was
not to be put down by sneers nor jeers
and he had the audacity to declare
that he could invent an engine that
would run at the terrific rate of 25
miles an hour, whereupon one of the
most noted periodicals of the day said
that he ought to be put in strait
jacket"
Stephenson went to work and built
a queer looking little railroad engine
called the Rocket" in 1929, and that
was the beginning of one of the most
useful and wonderful things in the
world-the modern railway system.
