"Before wrote to you, telling you how

and spent lots of money on medicines besides,
but it all failed to help me- My monthly pc

with fainting spells, headache, backache and

decided to write you and try Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, and l am so
thankful that did, for after following your
instructions, which you sent me free of all
charge, I became regular and in perfect
health. Had it not been for you I would be
in my grave to-day.

every suffering woman in the country to
write you for help as did"
When women are troubled with ir-
regular or painful periods, weakness,
displacement or liberation of an organ,
that bearing-down feeling, infamma-
ton, backache, fatulence, general de-
bility, indigestion or nervous prostra-
ton, they should remember there is
one tried and true remedy. Lydia E.
Pinkham'sV egetable Compound at once
removes such troubles.
No other female medicine in the world
has received such widespread and I'M
qualified endorsement. Refuse all sub
stitutes.
For 25 years Mrs. Pinkham, daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, has under
her direction, and since her decease,
been advising sick women free of
charge. Address, Lynn, Mass.

COMPANIES ON eETTEF


The newspaper offices through
out the country are being flooded
with literature from the heads of
the big insurance companies ex-
planning and pointing out the of
fetal changes and financial reforms
which have been effected in these
concerns since the recent expo
sures. These statements, reports,
etc, show that the big companies
are all actively endeavoring to con-
form to the recently enacted re-
strlctive legislation, and that much
more watchfulness over the money
of the policyholders is now being
shown. There never has been any
doubt of the soUndness of the large
life companies. Even the great
mass of rottenness in management
which was developed did not shake
the financial solidity of these insti-
buttons. But officials who con-
nived at rottenness, or who neg
lected the duties which they were
paid to perform, or who because
of their connection with other in
situations more or less dependent
upon the insurance treasures have
been forced out, economies are be-
ing practiced, leaks are being
stopped, and many other changes
made of a beneficial character. AS
a result the companies are strong
er than ever, and we feel that they
more than ever merit public con-
fidence. No man of family who
looks to the future can afford to be
without insurance, and no COM
panies offer greater assurance of
meeting their obligations than the
three or four large companies
which have for a year or more been
under the limelight.

4IeHER WAGES THE INCENTIVE

At the recent session of the
Southern Educational Association,
during a discussion of the question
as to the regulation of the flow of
farm labor into the city, Professor
Knapp brought the issue out max
edly when he said rural depopula-
ton would continue as long as the
mechanics productive power was
five times as great as that of the
farm laborer. DR.. Knapp says
that with due allowance for short
crops and failures, the South can
make gain of 500 per cent. in
productiveness during the next
ten years. That is a magnificent
tribute from so eminent an author
ity. Evidently those of us who
shall be living twenty years hence
will witness a development not
now to be imagined. In every
part of the country farmers are ad-
vised to reduce their acreage and
intensity the culture. Think of
what a great state Georgia would
be if every farm laborer in the
state should become as productive
as the city mechanic. The pres
cription of DR.. Knapp is "good
seed, more power and less hard
work, more through culture, more
care to meet markets in the selec-
ton of crops and the proper pack
ing of products"
