SUNDAY LAWS IN VIRGINIA.
Liouid Refreshments Not to Be Had Unless One Knows the
 Ropes. y

Down in the quaint old seaport of Norfolk few days ago l saw beau- tiful example of the workings of a strict Sunday law" said w. l.. Rodgers, of Baltimore, according to the Washington Post.
 Tt was not possible to get any liquid refreshments in the hotels and the sa- looms were dramatically sealed.
 "Srolling along enc of the principal streets my attention was attracted to | crowd of mea who swarmed in and out of a place as if it possessed magnet. Sure enough it did. as l found by join- ing the crowd. The place was dingy and unattractive. but it had q bar in full blast and the man behind the counter couldn't dish out the liquor fast enough. I called for drink, too. but the bar tender, instead of waiting on me, asked me for my ticket. I told him had none and he proceeded to explain:
 This is clubroom and We don't serve drinks to any except members. However. there is the secretary and you might ask him
 AL tnlS lne peloou PoiHNod ouI as secretary came up and repeated what the other had told me.
 "We have to comply with the Vir- ginia law said he. or risk going to jail. But you look all right and I can make you a member of the club. The fee is 20 cents
 s'I paid it without a murmur and thought it pretty cute mode of selling a drinh for 35 ceEts."

When l first began to have them l weighed 1i0 pounds, but they brought me down to 1l0. l went to many doctors and they gave me only temporary relief So l suf- fered on, till one day in 1904. wsman doctor told me to drink Postum Food Coffee.

THREE FACTS
For Sick Women
 To Consider

FfRsT.-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, dig ziness and sleeplessness.
 SEcoND.-The medicine that holds the record for the largest number of absolute cures of female ills is Lydia +. 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 baekaehe. nervousness, kidney troubles, infiam- nation of the female organs. weak ness and displacements, regulating the periods perfectly and overcoming their pains. It has also proved itself invaluable in preparing women for childbirth and the change of life.
 THIRD-The great volume of unso- hcited and grateful testimonials on file at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, lduS>F iIhiN LII WHICH are lTOI1 ti1I1t lO time published by permission, give ab solute evidence of the value of Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound and Mrs. Pinkhams 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. Pinkham is daughter in-iaw of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years under her direction and since her decease she has been ad- vising sick women free of charge. Outof 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 doesnot take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.
