VIM. Wyman of Cornville was ar
raigned before Judge Bachelor in the
Municipal Court, yesterday morning,
on complaint of Roscoe Bigelow, a
neighbor, on charge of assault and
battery. 1t seems that the feeling
has not been good between the two
men for some time and that, short
time since, as Bigelow was passing
along the highwao with a road ma
chine, Wyman called out to him from
the field where he was at work, thus
initiating a conversation which led
to blows. The Judge held Wyman
guilty as charged, imposed a fine of
$40 and costs and required him to
furnish bonds TO keep the peace for
the ensuing two years.

Of Interest to Women.

Every woman naturally should be healthy and strong. but great many women, unfortunately, are not. owing to the unnatural condition of the lives we lead.

What is wanted is a hostess trade union, powerful combination of SO ciety women pledged to maintain their own selfrespect. and to extingsish socially any man guilty of the slight est lapse of the courtesy which every woman has every right to expect The drawback to the formation of such a society lies in the fact that unfortu- nately being respected neither by men nor by each other most women do not respect themselves either-Ladies' Field.

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 E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound 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 the world. Thousands of testimonials from grateful persons, two of which are here published. substantiate this fact beyond contradiction.
