MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and 1t Is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children we'll dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such woman
Is never done" and Is II any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of a
few yenrs, the back begins TO ache,
there is n displacement, inflammation
or liberation of the abdominal organs.
female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties Is pitiful.
Lydia q. Plnkham's Vegetable
Compound, made from native roots
and neros, is the exact medicine u
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. 1t keeps the feminine organs
In n strong and healthy condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re-
operating therefrom II is most eff
cient. 1t carries woman safely
through the change of life and in
making her strong and we'll assists
her to be good wife and mother.
Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeanette,
Pa. writes
Dear Mrs. Pinkham-
~ suffered severely with pain every
month and also pain I'm my left side. My

good; n friend advised Lydia Il. Pinkham's

advice and am perfectly well woman. The

recommend your medicine too highly"

LAND FRAUDS AT
GRAND JUNCTION

Grand Junction, Colo, Aug. 9.-Ralph
II. Kelly special agent of the United
States land office has been here for
some time making an investigation of
so-called land frauds, and as result of
his investigations has filed charges
against the Redlands Irrigation and
Power company.
Among those especially interested as
promoters of the Redlands company are
A. j. McCune, former state engineer,
d. II. Stone, cashier of the Union Trust
and Banking company, S. Y. Keiffer
and Fl. +. Patt. At the head of the
company is Robert II. Ingersoll of New
York of Ingersoll dollar watch fame.
Kelly makes the claim that the COM
pany entered into a conspiracy and had
men file on valuable lands across the
these men to execute a contract to turn
over the major portion of the land to
the company as soon as patent was is
sued. Kelly maintains that the entries
N'ic HpL III coHiplldnCe Win lhe law
and therefore fraudulant, that they
were taken up for speculative purposes
and says the lands involved are worth
about $4,000. Mr.. Kelly will prob
ably ask that title to this land be can
cclled.
The company made statement to-
night emphatically denying Mr.. Kelly's
accusations and claiming that it is II
scheme to wreck the company and ruin
their holdings which they have worked
hard to develop.
The Redlands property is n very de-
sirable fruit tract only short dis
tance from the Junction upon which
water is lifted from the Gunnison river
by n pair of powerful turbine pumps.
These pumps were installed this sum
mer and work very successfully. The
land with a water right has been sell
ing for $3.50 to 5000 per acre and on ac-
count of the desirability of this prop
erty the report of Mr.. Kelly has caused
no little concern in this community.
