on this day one of its large lattice
windows had been thrown open for a
minute to rid the rooms of tobacco

the sweet breaths of those who were
to grace its Ladies Night-a bi-
weekly event, after theatre matinees.
The only open window in a district,

all known the time when the uni
verse was but our playground, hu-
manity our playthings, everything
gifted with a fairy animation and
fairy ears to listen to schemes for
mighty deeds and with fairy power
to perfect them. Peter Pan is the
note of enchantment that recalls the

Your gazing soul would dwell an

And felt through all this feshy dress,

that the citv-bred child, brought up
as he is in ditch-like streets, with al
most never a glimpse of open sky,
may never feel the glow and the
light of what should be his golden
age All students of child education
fear this-the still-born death of all

While no woman is entirety free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer SO severely. This is a
severe strain on woman's vitality
When pain exists something is wrong
which should be set right or it will
lead to a serious arrangement of the
whole female organism.
Thousands of women have testified
in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound overcomes woman's special
pains and irregularities.
1t provides safe and sure way of
escape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con-
vincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie Holmes, of $40 N. Division
Street, Buffalo, N. Y, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
Your medicine is indeed an ideal medicine
for women. I suffered misery for years with
painful periods, headaches, and bearing down
pains consulted two different physicians
but failed to get any relief. A friend from the
east advised me to try Lydia E. Plnkhams
Vegetable Compound. did so, and no longer
suffer as Ibid before. Myperiods are natural ;
every ache and pain is gone, and my general
health is much improved / advise all women
who suffer to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound"
Mrs. Title Hart, of Larimore, n. D. 4,
writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-

of suffering and pain had 1 only known of the
efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable

A DIFFERENCE
IN LUNGS.

In the Edinburgh Uni
versity three human lungs lie
side by side. One is of an
Eskimo and is snow white.
In life, this would be ruddy
with rich blood. Another is
that of a coal-miner and is
black. The other is of a town
dweller and is a dirty slate
gray, as are the lungs of most
city residents. That's why
consumption thrives in cities.
One reason why SCOTS
Emulsion does so much to
keep down consumption is
because it helps to keep the
lungs clean and supplies
them with rich, red blood. 1t
makes the lungs germ-re-
sisting. If the body is run
down and health is at a low
ebb SCOTS Emulsion will
build it up quickly and per-
manently.

which have not been included in the
accounts filed here, owing to ruling
by Judge Gear that they should not be
included, The estimated figures given
this morning showed that the hotel cost
James Campbell $1SO.OOO, and Carter
said it had earned about two per cent
and he thought would earn four or five
per cent. If it were to be offered for
sale, he had been informed that it
would bring only about thirty per cent
Of its cost Breckons and Dunno did
some figuring and remarked that the
thirty per cent ought to earn more than
the hotel had ever earned.
Judge Robinson expressed the opinion
that the parties would reach an agree
ment and come into court on Tuesday,
either all ready to consent to the ex-
penditure for repairs or all prepared to
abandon the hotel and sell it,
