should fy My back aches as though

How often do you hear these signi-
fcant expressions from WON n
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
Is cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
e Pinkham Of Lynn. Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. "woman's Ills"
these two words are full of more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found in the
English language Sudden fainting,
depression Of spirits. reluctance to
go anywhere. backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
irregularities are the bane OF woman's
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered a remedy. Lydia z. PIX.
hams Vegetable Compound made
from native roots and herbs holds
the record for greater number Of
absolute cures OF female ills than any
other one remedy the world has ever
known and it is the greatest blessing
which ever came into the lives Of
suffering women.
Don't try to endure, but cure the
cause Of all your suffering. Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at
once removes such troubles. The
following letters prove this:

CENTENARY OF SAVINGS BANKS
British idea and It's Development in
United States.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The system of savings banks as now
conducted in a. the leading countries of
the civilize world will round out its first
century of existence this year In 1907
the plan of the modern savings bank was
first developed. although there had been
a few sporadic charitable enterprises of
the kind before in the British house of
commons by Mr.. Whitbread After the
scheme hau been definitely formulated
savings institutions were rapidly incorpo-
rated In Great Britain and within few
years in other countries of Europe.
The United States was not far behind in
adopting the new scheme. The establish
ment of the first of the institutions of the
kind in this country dates back to Deem
Der, 1916. when the Provident Institution
for Savings of Boston was incorporated.
1t opened Its doors to depositors in 1917.
just ninety years ago 1t proved to be a
success from the start. and similar saw
ings banks were soon opened everywhere.
There are now about 1900 such banks in
this country, taking care of the savings
of nearly 800. 900 depositors.
Some idea of the growth of the deposits
may be gained from the statement that in
1880. fourteen years after the opening of
the first American savings bank, the total
of deposits, was S6.9733O4. At the opening
Of the civil war it had mosnted to about
$3.50. 100000. and by 1890 it had grown to
ten times that amount. 1t is now consid-
erably in excess of $1,000. 600, 900. being
equal to more than three times the inter-
eSt-bearing debt of the United States
Massachusetts alone has deposits exceed
ing $500. 100000. or more than was con-
tanned in the savings banks Of the entire
United States in 1875. and a sum surpass-
ing the assessed valuation of Chicago. A
single savings bank in New York city has
deposits that are rapidly approaching the
hundred-milion mark
In nearly all American states the in
vestments that can be made by the trus-
tees of savings banks have been so safe
guarded that these institutions are regard
ed as the most stable and conservative of
all banking Enterprises. 1t is. in fact. the
well-known integrity of their manage
ment which has given rise to proposal
now being made in several states to per-
nit the savings banks to introduce de-
partments OF industrial insurance. In
Massachusetts,, which has always beer a
leader in matters affecting savings insti-
buttons. bill is about to be introduced
into the legislature which. If it becomes
a law. will authorize the 1s9 savings
banks of the Bay state to undertake in
dustrial life insurance under the super
vision of a state actuary. The promot-
ers of this plan say that life insurance is
simply q specialized form of savings. and
that the savings banks may very we'll es-
tablish departments for dealing in indus
trial insurance in small amounts.
