TUMORS CONQUERED
Overwhelming Proof that Lydia E. Pinkham's
 Vegetable Compound Succeeds.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham :--
 q was told by my physician that I had hbroid tumor and that I would have to be operated upon, I wrote to you for advice, which followed care fully and took Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound. l am not only cured of the tumor but other female troubles and can do all my own work after eight years of suffering.'
 Mrs. S. J. Barber, of Scott, N. Y. writes:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 Sometime ago I wrote you for advice about tumor which the doctors thought would have to be removed. Instead I took Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound and today am a we'll woman."
 Mrs. M. M. Funk, vandergrift, Pa., writes:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham :--
 "I had tumor and Lydia D. Pink hams Vegetable Compound removed 1t for me after two doctors had given me up. was sick four years before 1 began to take the Compound, now recommend LydiaE E Pinkham's Veget- able Compound far and near"
 Such testimony as above is con- vincing evidence that Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound stands without 8 peer as remedy for Tumor Growths as we'll as other distressing ills of women, and such symptoms as Bearing-down Sensations, Displace- ments, Irregularities and Backache. etc. Women should remember that it is Lydia E.

Toxic, Japan.-"Before the war is
as much a stock phrase in Japan to-
day as it ever was in the United States
after the struggle of the sixties. The
war has made all things new. Now
Japan is a ship that has found herself.
And what are mostly guesses on the
part of the rest of the world concern
lag iaran's purposes and future are
intensely interesting present problems
with persons on the scene. The stu
alton here is complex and rather be-
wfldering. but there are certain un-
questioned facts which stand out
clearly as result of the war
One of the wonders wrought by this
wonderful war takes rank as perhaps
the most conspicuous achievement of
its kind in religious history. For the
conflict lately waged in Manchuria has
been the means of winning the whole
nation to friendliness for Christianity
This amounts to nothing less than a
vast Christian conquest. 1t justifies
the sanguine reports which mission
aries sometimes send home, without
any such ground as they may stand
upon in the present case Represen-
tatives of many denominations, from all
parts OF the empire. natives as well as
foreigners, have assured me that prac-

The Religion of Hair Cut.
The type of religion displayed was
most practical; the approval of the
Japanese was not accorded for any
sentimental considerations. Simply
because the Y. NJ. c. A. proved use
full to the soldier 1t was welcomed
and assisted. Thus. during the entire
campaign, 3.3s5,OO0 pieces of station
cry were distributed. but only 5000
pieces of religious literature. In even
more marked proportion l, 1852 concerts
re provided for the men, and only
613 religious meetings. OF course the
entire project was avowedly Christian,
but its faith was displayed by its
works rather than by words. 1t was
the religion of good deeds, and so
even the most ignorant coolie in the
ranks could comprehend 1t.
Recreation, diversion, accommoda-
ton and inspiration were the aims of
the Y. NJ. c. A. rooms. Here a soldier
could find place to write home and
free stationery. Every one of the
three and a quarter million pieces of
stationery, bearing the Christian
name, as 1t did, became a silent
evangelist for the Christian propa-
ganda. Into the remotest corner of
