Vegetable Compound had saved other women
from serious operations decided to try it,
and in less than four months was entirely
cured; and words fail to express my thank-
fitness"
Miss Margret Merkley, Of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes;
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
Loss Of strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing down pains, and an
irritable disposition compelled me to seek
medical advice. The doctor, after making
IN examination, said that l had serious
female trouble and liberation. and advised an
operation as my only hope. To this strongly
objected-and l decided as last resort to try
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
'To my surprise the liberation healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared, and am once
more strong, vigorous and well; and can
not express my thanks for what il has done
for me-
Serious feminine troubles are steadi-
ly on the increase among wonderland
before submitting to an operation
every woman should try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.

Vegetable Compound has been curing
the worst forms of female complaints,
all functional troubles, Inflammation,
liberation, falling and displacement,

her advice ard Lydia E. Pinkham's

When physician tells a 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 l1nen had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for just such operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach q 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 operation 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.
Margrito Ryan, Treasurer of St.
Andrews Society, indianapolis, Ind,
writes of her cure as follows:

Of the poor passengers. Who do we rob?
Why the the railroads are owned by
Standard Oil, and if We take few thou
sand dollars, all Mr.. Rockefeller has to
do is to raise the price of kerosene for q
day or two and he comes out even. The
express car stuff is all owned by Wall
street, and when we take the contents of
a safe, ten thousand or twenty thousand
dollars, the directors of the express COM
pany sell stock short in w Ill street and
make million or so to cover the loss by
the bandits of the far west, and pocket
the balance. So you see we are doing
them favor to rob train, and my con-
science is clear am always sorry when
an engineer or expressman is killed. and
when such thing occurs find out the
family and send money to take care of
them, but Of late years we never kill any
body, because the train hands don't re-
sist any more, for they do not care to die
to save Wall street money. Now when

off and stop here in the gulch and take
a dynamite stick and go wake up the
express fellow by blowing off the door of
his car the engineer wipes his hands on
his overalls and says: All right, Bill.

mics that had been for years tying the
policy holders hand and foot, and search

been caught in the act, and how the

Pa told the Hole-in-the-Wall gang all
the news until he got hoarse.
"And how is my old friend Teddy, the

"Ths president is in fine shape" said
pa, "and he is making friends every day,

the people from ruin"

"It seems to me that courage is very
much a question of the Imagination.
A dull man will plunge fearlesly into

PERIL. If he had the Imagination to
do so, he might turn tail, or, at any
rate, shrink and hesitate.
"On the other hand, the intelligently
brave man is aided by his imagination,
for while it enables him to understand
his danger, it makes him keenly alive
to the shame of cowardice and the

Natal and The Province
OF ZIIIuIdnd
The Uprising the aes-Te Zuus Would
ment-General Massacre of Whites threatened.

Our readers probably have but hazy
remembrance Of recent disturbances
down in the British colony OF Natal,
on the southern coast of Africa, and
probably are paying but scant atten-
ton to present threatenings in Zulu
land, province of Natal. But the dis
turbances were serious, the threaten
ings are grave; ere long news OF a
general massacre of the whites of that
region may shock the world.
The London Graphic, discussing the
South African uprising, goes so far as
to say: There is, unfortunately, only
too much reason to believe that the
Zulus and Kaffirs are determined to
expel the white people from South At
RIGA, If they can manage it. 1t is no
longer the question of the loyalty of
any particular chief or tribe; the con-

with tiny pendants here and there.
The girl may have made it herself
from some original design, and doubt
less it was inexpensive, but certainly
it was lovely.
AS we said before, there are many
ways in which waists are cut out at
the neck. The one but slightly
square is pretty fashion; the one
with a slight dip in front just below
the chin, another style meeting with
favor. The design shown here is that
of blouse with quite a deep cut, to
be worn for dressy occasions. Lin
gerie blouses to go with accordion
pleated suits are feature Of the day,
and gives daintiness to the jaunty cos
tunes. A new touch is the introduce
ton of lace under null, the trimming
showing through, looking shadowy
and Elusive, just the thing for the
illusion-like waist.
Of course all sleeves are short, and
the way Of finishing the neck may
be followed in the finish of the sleeve.
For instance, blouse with square
neck edged with insertion will have
pulled sleeve with simple band of
insertion, the sleeve stopping above
the elbow, having no frill at the bot
TOM The surplice waist with low-cut
V is pretty, and becoming to the wom-
an with plump neck.
Many of the sleeves stop well above
the elbow. One pretty silk bodice had
a longish puff of sleeve edged with
rows of shirring and frill, from in
side the frill extended close cuff of
lace, the lace coming just to the ell
bow. Another waist had a similar
sleeve, but the lace was omitted, the
sleeve very short. Some of the
blouses are accompanied by remov-
able chemisettes; one may have at
choice high neck or low. And of
course this may be carried out in the
sleeves, detachable undersleeves made
use of.
Almost an the summer frocks for
young girls arc made with short
sleeves. One pretty model has a rath-
er full sleeve confined above the elbow
by UP and down tucks, the friIl far
ing being part of the sleeve, the tucks
stitched just so far. And becoming
to the round, girlish arm Is the puff
with insertion band little above the
elbow. There is also neat sleeve,

There is a pretty revival of certain
good old styles, for instance the old
fashioned bertha or fichu is an arti-
Gle of dress that one can but approve.
1t finishes off the costume, allows
one to wear a thin summer dress
without the addition of wrap. Most
dresses look unfinished on the street
If no wrap is worn, but the fichu
takes the place of boa or coatee, or
whatever the frivolous pretense of
outdoor apparel.
Other good points belong to the
f1chu; 1t may be added to an old
frock and quite redeem it; 1t looks
so modest and dainty, when made of
fine lawn and we'll shaped; it hides
deficiencies of the figure. Usually
with it deep girdle should be worn,
a narrow belt and a fichu are not in

The Empire modes are assuredly
quaint-when they are not impossible.
And the mob caps, the lingerie hats,
generally becoming as well as pictur-
esque. By the way, at the shops you
ask for wash hat, and what are you
apt to be shown? One of those hide
