Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in a young girls life without
pain or Irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia Il. Pinkham'
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the
Lydia L. Pinkham Medicine Co., al
Lynn, Mass.
Miss Mills has written the two fol
lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which
will be read with interest:

HokE FILLS THE REQUIREMENT

The Georgia populists will not
have a state ticket of their. own
but, as expected, will go the whole
hog for Hoke who, they declare,
suits them to the notch, politically
and otherwise. This was the re-
suit of the pop convention held in
Atlanta on Wednesday. The pop
bosses, Watson & Co., did not de,
sire any detection from the sup
port promised Hoke Smith, and as
delegates reached Atlanta to at
tend the Convention they were met
at the trains by swarms Of his
friends and convinced in one way
or another that the interests Of the
pop party demanded that the pops
support him for governor. There
is still some talk of another pop
convention on August 2Sth, one
week after the state democratic
primary. This is taken to mean
that should Hoke Smith be the
democratic nominee the populists
will be satisfied; otherwise they
will then nominate a state ticket.
AS the leaders stated Wednesday,
in discussing the situation, they
have nothing to lose by letting
matters rest until after the Demo
Gratis have acted. And to this end
the pops adjourned and went home
until August 28th, in the mean
while keeping an eye upon "the
enemy" the democratic party of
the state.

- To TIE RESCUE

Trust Kansasl for unique issues
in politics and economics. Kan
sas is prosperous, says the Nash
vile American. It's crops are
abundant. The howl of the Pop
ulist is no longer heard. Long
Whlskers are no longer waved by
windy voices demanding the uni
verse or something equally as good.
Mad house theories of finance have
been abandoned. The hoarse
voice OF the free lunch orator is
silent and the noisy croak of the
calamity bowler has been hushed
Sockless Simpson, OF Medicine
Lodge, has joined the choir invisi-
bic, and the bewhiskered PETER,
who moved across the horizon of
the Senate like hairy serpent, is
probably earning a living as the
bearded lady in a side-show
Mary Ellen Lease no longer strides
the platform and challenges the
ravenous mortgage to personal
combat, and Sister Annie l.. Diggs
appears no more as a female Spar
tacus addressing a race of slaves.
Carrie Nations Iunacy has become
pacific, and the mournful yawp
of the mortgagor has been changed
to- song of praise. But Kansas
has new issue. The demand is
for longer shirt. The claim is
made that an inch added to the
neither end of every shirt will
mean an increased demand for cot
ton. Longer shirt suburbs, there
fore, mean more industry and more
prosperity. Kansas produces very
little cotton, but it is willing to help
theSouth and it thinks longer pre-
misses to the shirt will help some.
Hurrah for Kansas! Long and
still longer may the shirt adjunct
wave in the State which we trust
shall bleed no more.

A FISH HOOK.
The One You Should Buy and the
Test You Should Try.

The One You Should Buy and the
Test You Should Try.
The most common flaw is the temper
of the hook. Some hooks are brittle
and break easily. There are other
hooks still that bend, and bend so east
ly that they 'straighten" on every big
fish, ana yet other hooks that bend, but
bend so hard that a big fish never
feXes them, and they only straighten
and come away when the full tension
of the line is laid upon them if caught
on tough snag or tree bOugh. These
last are the hooks to buy-if you can
find them-and the hard breaking
hooks Classics next in merit. Tests by
the eye are quite useless, as SO many
hooks carry exactly the same tints in
blue or black. Test the hook instead
. by the hand, catching the point in a
firm bit of wood and trying it out both
by the hard, firm pull and by the jerk
Watch particularly in this trial for
weakness at the foot of the barb, where
the wire is apt to be attenuated over
much and the whole point give way
on strong fish, especially if hooked in
bone or very hard gristle. What Vastly
depths Of angling profanity, in spirit
if not in word, have been stirred in
boat and on bank when the pointIess
hook comes away from the hard played
fish must be left to memory.-Outing

A small body as large as a paving
stone or not as large as marble is
moving round the sun. Just as a
mighty planet reyolyes in an ellipse. so
this small object will move round and
round in an ellipse, with the sun in the
focus There are at the present mo-
ment uncomfortable myriads Of such
meteors moving in this manner. They
are too small and too distant for our
telescopes, and we can never see them
except under extraordinary circum-
stances.
at the time we see the meteor it
traverses a distance of more than
twenty miles 4 second. Such a velocity
is amos impossible near the earth's
surface he resistance of the air would
prevent it. Aloft in the emptiness of
space there is no air to resist it.
In the course of it's wanderings the
body may come near the earth and
within few hundred miles of it's sur
face, of course, begins to encounter the
upper surface of the atmosphere with
which the earth is inclosed. TO a body
moving with the appalling velocity of
q meteor, plunge into the atmosphere
is usually fatal. Even though the up
per layers of air are excessively at
tenuated, yet they suddenly check the
velocity, almost as rife bullet would
be checked when fired into water. AS
meteor rushes through the atmos-
phere the friction of the air warns it's

then white hot and is finally driven off
into the vapor with brilliant light,

Purity of Milk,

In Paris the municipal chemists ac-

contain at least 3 per cent of butter
and may contain 80 per cent Of water.
At Berlin the police seize all milk Of
fered for sale which is below the legal
