MISS GRACE E. MILLER

81 am not feeling very WELL" 81
am so nervous it seems as though I
should fly" MY back aches as though
it would break"
How often do you hear these signi-
ficant expressions from WON e n
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
is a 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 e. Pink
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:

SOME POINTS ABOUT NEEDLES.
-5s Evolved Product OF Centuries of
--- invention.

3 The point of a needle is a very i'm
portant part of that useful little in
strument, and there are many points
about needles calculated to interest
the general public. The daily con-
sumption of needles all over the world
is something like 100000, while
every year the women of the United
States break, lose and use some 300,-
100000 of those tiny tools. Few peo-
pie while threading a needle have
ever given a thought to the various
processes through which the wire
must pass before it comes out a
needle. Yet the manufacture of
needles includes some 81 different
processes from cutting the wire and
threading the double needles by the
eyes to separating the two needles on
the one length of wire, heading, hard
ening in oil, cleaning out the sides of
the eye, point-setting, and final pol
ishing. For wrapping purple paper is
used, since it prevents rusting. There
are many sorts of needles, for sur
geons', cooks, glovemakers', weavers',
sailmakers', broommakers', milliners'
and dressmakerS' use. The needle is
the evolved product of centuries of
invention. In its primitive form it
was made of bone, ivory, or wood.
Point by point its manufacture has
improved, until this little but not in
significant instrument is now one of
the highly-fnished products of twen-
tieth century machinery and SKILL

Hardly What He Wanted.

Albert Douglas, who will succeed
Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio in the
next house, is not weighted down with
worldly goods, and was rather startled
by an experience he had while looking
around Washington for quarters. At
one of the good hotels he was shown
a suite consisting of bedroom, parlor
and bathroom. On inquiring the
monthly rent he was informed only
$1,000 for yourself and wife Recov-
ering his breath, which he managed to
do without showing a 1.-THE of his as

this suite. She may think from the
price that your hotel is not the kind

Senator Pettus was lieutenant in
the Mexican war; he rode horseback
to California with the ''forty-niners"
and was advanced from the rank Of
major TO that of brigadier general in
the confederate army. He was ad-
mitted TO the bar at GAINESVILLE, Ala,
when he became 81 years of age. At
this time Texas was an independent
republic, California was part of
Mexico and Great Britain was disput-
ing the American claim to the Oregon
country. Andrew Jackson was then
supreme in politics and was yet to
succeed in making Polk president of
the United States.

VERY BAD FORM OF ECZEMA.

Disease Puzzles Doctors.

A mysterious disease is troubling
the Dutch medical profession. 1t has
broken out in the district of Ouddorp,
not far from Utrecht, and Prof.
Spronck, of Utrecht, after all the best
efforts he can devise, has had to con-
TESS himself perplexed. The disease
and the patients invariably develop
high fever. There have been more
than 100 cases. Prof. Spronck has
made careful anlysis of blood taken
from patients, but has utterly failed
to find a cause or an origin for the
epidemic.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods, This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
Ell strength than other makes.
