Modern Threshing.

From the Export Implement Age.
 Thirty years ago threshing time was one of the most strenuous occasions that came to the farmers annual experience, and was something that was dreaded as much by the women folks of the house as the farmer himself as it required two or three days to thresh the average crop, with 10 and 20 men and as many teams to be fed and housed. and the stacks of fried chicken and apple pie that disappeared during these days was something wonder ful to behold This Is now all changed. The threshing crew come down the road with their whole outfit en train, pull in alongside of the stacks. and In ten min utes are at work, and no one is surprised

A TRAINED NURSE
After Years of Experience, Advises Women in
 Regard to Their Health.

Mrs. Martha Pohlman of 55 Chester Avenue, Newark, N. J., who is a graduate Nurse from the Blockley Training School, at Philadelphia, and for six years Chief Clinic Nurse at the Philadelphia Hospital, writes the letter printed below. She has the advantage of personal experience, besides her professional education, and what she has to say may be absolutely relied upon.
 Many other women are afflicted as she was. They can regain health in the same way. 1t is prudent to heed such advice from such a source.
 Mrs. Pohlman writes:
 !" 1 am firmly persuaded, after eight years of experience with Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound, that it is the safest and best medicine for any suffering woman to use.n
 '' Immediately after my marriage I found that my health began to fail me. 1 be- came weak and pale, with severe bearing-down pains, fearful backaches and fre- quent dizzy spells.
