Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and it 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 a woman
is never done" and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of a
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is u displacement, Inflammation
or liberation of the abdominal organs.
a female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle Of hat wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.
Lydia e. Plnkham's Vegetable
Compound. made from naAive roots
and herbs, is the exact medicine n
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. It keeps the feminine organs
in a strong and healthy condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re-
cuperating therefrom it is most eff
cient. 1t carries a woman safely
through the change of life INC in
making her strong and well assists
her to be a good wife ind mother.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham-

The revolver is of dubious service In
war. Its only function there Is as a
cavalry weapon. Indeed, it is an evo-
luton Of the medieval purpose to pro-
vide horse soldiers with a tirearm. In
the cavalry the weapon is effective only
up to fifty yards. 1t has no value for
hunting. The average man can do
more execution on birds and beasts
with a slingshot. The only purpose
which the revolver serves is to kill
another and even for that pur'
pose its usefulness is overestimated.-

Lime-SuIphur-Salt Wash.

The experts of the Department Of
Agriculture have been conducting some
further experiments with the lime sui
phur-salt wash and its substitutes for
spraying trees for the destruction OK
insect pests. n as a result two new
formulas are proposed which are be-
lieved to be improvements on those for
merly In use. One Is to omit salt and
use caustic soda In place Of lime. The
composition is as follows: Water, so
gallons powdered sulphur, 10 pounds ;
caustic soda. 10 pounds. Make a paste
Of the sulphur with not more than 513
gallons of boiling water at one add
all the caustic soda, which has previ-
ously been broken up into pieces the
size Of a hickory nut or smaller, and
stir occasionally for one-half hour. At
the end Of this time add 4k gallons
Of water, stir, and the wash is ready
for use. Another formula is proposed
which is the same as the above with
the addition Of 17h pounds Of slaked
lime. The lime, made into a paste, Is
added just before the remainder of the
water.
