MA 7 URE:
and A WOMAN'S WORK
{ >:Yl|R
\S6SS MEGeo1S)
LYDIA E. PINKHAM
Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians ON our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of tho
field Lydia e. Pinlham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world q remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer.
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time / had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

Sioux City, May 4.-The mulct law
is to be enforced in Sioux City. Mayor
w. G. Sears issued an ultimatum that
every saloon in Sioux City must COM
ply strictly with the law.
,, Following closely upon the action OF
the council 10 completely wipe out the
low dives and hotbetls of crime by in
vestigating the character of every APP
picant for permit, the mayor gave
Chief of Police John Dineen strict
orders to investigate the ninety mine
saloons of Sioux City to determine
whether they are complying with every
provision of the mulct law, and If not
to prosecute the owners.
Mayor Sears said that he expects the
chief of police to commence this IN
vestigation Immediately Rules in
detail will be laid down by the police
department for the saloons to follow,
and by frequent and regular inspec-
tons Chief Dineen will see that the
rules are carried out to the letter.
The action of the mayor and council
is the outcome of a petition signed by
fifty saloonkeepers asking that the
mulct law be enforced in Sioux City.
While the mayor has granted this re-
quest. he declared that the petitioners
will be watched as carefully as those
whose names did not appear.
While the mulct law provides that
saloons must close at 10 o'clock in the
evening, it is probable that the coun-
Gil will set $3.50 o'clock as the time
for patrons to vacate, thus giving the
keeper sufficient time to get away
from 10 o'clock as provided by law.
This method is carried out in ma
jority of the cities thru Iowa.
No saloonkeeper can enter his place
of business after closing hours with
lice, and in some parts of the state the
council requires the saloonkeeper to be
accompanied by an officer
Saloons shall open at o'clock, says
the mulct law. They shall close at 10
o'clock p. M, and on Sundays and
legal holidays. No saloon shall be per-
mitted upon any street except pub
lie business street Attorney John Jo
seph, for the Anti-Saloon league, de-
clared today that this feature of the
law will close the stock yards saloons
and all others not located in the down
town district
After the saloons of Sioux City have
complied with these provisions and the
others laid down in the mulct law it is
predicted that this city will be the
cleanest in Iowa.

600 Verdict Against C. G. w.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, May AFTER three or
four years in the district and federal
courts, a judgment has been securd
against the Chicago Great Western
road by John McDonough for $4,000,
the costs in the case amounting to
another $4,000. While firing for the
company in their shops at Oelwein in
1904, McDonough was badly scalded
by an explosion, resulting in partial
paralysis of one side and a great shock
to the nervous system. The accident
was due to the neglect of the company
to have their boilers at Oelwein prop
erly inspected and repaired. The case
was commenced in Wright county and
transferred to the federal court at FIT
Dodge, where two weeks were con-
sumed in a trial resulting in verdict
for McDonough. An appeal was taken
to the United States court of appeals,
which. after lapse of eleven months,
has just rendered decision affirming
the decision of the lower court.

The Greatest Lumber Cut.

More lumber was cut in the United
States last year than in any other
year of its history. The enormous
amount of 37,55O,7S6 board feet was
produced, it is stated, and the mill
value of this was 1921, Isl 1888. In adj
dition there were produced 1858, 200.-
600 shingles, valued at $24,155,555 and
.3,S12, 100000 lath, valued at $11, AGO.
$40. On the whole, it is safe to say
that the present annual lumber cut of
the United States approximates 40,-
000,000,000 feet, and that the total
mill value of the lumber, Iath and
shingles each year produced is not
less than $700,000,00O. These figures
give some idea of how vast is the lum-
Der industry and how great is the de-
mand for its products.
A glance at the kinds of lumber pro-
ducad shows very clearly the passing
of white pine and oak, one the great
est softwOod and the other the great
est hardwood which the forest has
ever grown Since 1899 the cut of
white pine has fallen off more than 40
per cent while that of white oak has
fallen off more than Sc per cent To-
day yellow pine leads all the other
woods in amount cut, while Douglas
fir-and this will be surprise to
many-cOmes second. Since. 1899 the
cut of DOUGLAS fir has increased 1SO
per cent. Louisiana is the foremost
yellow pine state, with Texas, Missis-
sippi and Arkansas following in order
Washington produces by far the great
est amount of Douglas fir.
