MRS. ELvA sARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in .
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia

made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
In later years carried them safely
through the change of life more sue
cessfully than any other remedy in

from grateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.

RACING At FAIR
TRACK TO BE READY IN TIME
FOR EVENTS.
Preparations Being Made for Automobile
Features at Essex County Fair-To
Demonstrate Cars.

Great preparations are being made TO
gain success for the automobile features
that are to be a part of the Essex County
Fair at Olympic Park. The half-mile
track, which Will be used for automobile
and t~rotting races. is being built as rap
idly as possible, and Herman A. Schmidt,
manager of the park, has announced that
tNere will be no question of having II

planned to house the competing cars In a
large frame structure that will be 400 feet
long and fifty feet in depth. Speclal.po-
lice will act as watchmen to guard the
machines while they are waiting to com
nete on the sixty-foot track. A feature
that the management is sure will prove
popular with local dealers is the opening
of the track to them for demonstration
purposes mornings and at other times
when regular events are not in progress.
Dealers have complained in the past that
because of the severity of the New Jersey
automobile law they had little chance in
this part of the State to show to prospee-
tive customers what their cars really could
do when pushed to the limit. Charges Oh
special gearing for the races held on the
track at Weequahic Park have taken from
the winning cars much of the glory Tor
victories. With the arrangement at
Olympic Park in force, a dealer who has
a car of whose capability he is sure can
give a hill-climbing demonstration to a
customer. and then, without getting out
of the car. give an exhibition of the ma
speed qualities upon the Olympic
track. The fact thai the fair will be held
just at the time when especially strenuous
efforts are being made by the majority OF
the dealers to place orders for the l9oe
product makes the plan all the more well
to them.

TYPE OF LOzIER CAR.

The public of the new line
OF Lozier cars for 1893. with prices, is
made by the Lozier Motor Company to-
day, and a number of surprises are con-
tanned therein. There will be two models
or types for the coming season, instead of
the one as heretofore. The type will be
a 40-horsepower, chain-drive model, and
will be Identical in all details with the
O-horsepower Lozier car of 1907. with the
exception that Il reduction of a thousand
dollars in price has been made, the car
selling next season for $4,000. This car is
so well known as to require little de-
%scription. 1t is the same car which has
made such an enviable reputation on the
road and track during the past season.
It is q large. seven-passenger touring car,
full of up-to-date features to satisfy the
most exacting autonobilist.
An entirely new model. to be known as

q shaft-driye car of sixty actual brake
horsepower, although it will be given the
low rating OF forty-fve. The cylinder

the motor will be ball-bearing throughout.

Ing will be fitted with annular ball-bear-
ings. Practically all the working parts of
tne motor Will be enclosed, the valves

tachable housings, and all driving gears
OF whatever nature also being covered.
The cooling fan is driven by a combina-
ZION OF gears and friction clutch. all housed
