Nature and a wOman's work CON-
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for w0man'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 the
field Lydia Z. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and efiica-
cious thanany combination ofdrugs.
lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, No, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means so much 10 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
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
| followed It, and can truly say that
Lydia L. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains Of gold TO suffering
women"
What lydia Z. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
IL will do for other suffering women.

"Back Her Onto the Train.o

One of the old governors OF the Car
olinas was a man who had lived a
farmers life most of the time until he
was elected, and his wife, having
never seen a steamboat or q railroad
and having no wish to test either one,
refused to accompany her husband to
the capital. When the governor
reached his destination he found that
almost all the other ofhcials were ac-
companied by their wives. and he sent
an imperative message to his brother
to fetch Melinda along" The broth
er telegraphed: She's afraid even
to look at the engine" The governor
read the message and pondered over
1t for a few moments At the end OF
that time he sent on the following

NO PERFORATED POSTAGE
STAMPS YET SEEN HERE

The first of the new perforated
postage stamps made possible by re-
cent order from the government, has
yet to pass through the Canon City
postoffice. These new stamps have
been appearing in various parts Of the
country for some days, and should the
reader of this receive letter with
fantastically decorated stamps upon
it, he is not to wire Washington for
secret service men. The government
has sanctioned it.
The perforated stamp became pos
sible under an order Of the postmas-
ter general, issued thirty days ago.
Before that the postal regulations
provided that stamps must be abso-
lutely without DETACHMENT to be good.
This is now amended to provide that
stamps, either ordinary or special de-
livery, may be punctured or perfor-
ated by letters. numerals. or marks
not exceeding 1872 of an inch in di-
ameter and not covering more than
one half square inch. Use Of the priv
ilege for advertising purposes is for
bidden. 1t is intended primarily as
a means of tracing stolen stamps.
1t is also suggested that should you
not care to trace stolen stamps. you
can still find use for the perforated
stickers as private code to your cor
respondent. For instance, in writing
a letter to which it would be folly to
sign name and business address, it
would be quite possible to leave it un-
signed with an understanding like
this:
"Lovey, when you get letter with
the upside down perforated hearts in
the stamp, you may know it is from
me-" To the casual observer this
would be the most general use to be
derived from the perforated stamp
idea.

Weedy Thoughts.
(By Clyde A. Waugh.)

(By Clyde A. Waugh.)
Kill the small weeds and you will
never have large ones.
A dead weed never goes to seed.
Mustard is better in the kitchen
than in the wheat field Pull it ur
by the roots.
Persistence brings reward with Can
ada thistles; but 1t takes lots of per-
sistence. Don't let the thistles seed
Sometimes it is we'll to salt them at
ter cutting.
The best time to cut sweet clover
Is when it is in blossom. 1t is hard
upon your tools but harder upon the
clover.
Better hoe a corn field four times
when the weeds are small than once
when they are big. It's cheaper.
1t doesn't pay to cut burdocks with
a hoe. Use spade and cut deep.
Dragging corn either when II
just comes up or at three or four
inches will save lots Of trouble later
Use spike tooth harrow.
Do unto your weeds as you would
have your neighbor do unto his.

BY Eugene Parsons Of Denver. "Col-
orado has had stirring history. one
verging ON the romantic"
The first permanent white settle-
ment within the present limits of
the state was made in 1858. Colorado
was soon afterward organized as a
territory and admitted to the union Is
years later.
In the half century Of its eventful
history, Colorado has forged to the
front. No other state. save Califor-
mia, has been so prominent in tho pub
lie eye. In 1857 there were q few trap
pers In the Rockies. In 1907 the state
had a population of 100000.
Every citizen, man, woman and
child, should have a desire to learn
how Colorado has grown, to know the
makers of its history, to become more
familiar with that picturesque region
known as The Switzerland OF Ameri-
ca, to realize something of the pro-
gress made along Industrial and ed
ucational lines in this imperial state.
Thousands visit its borders each
year to delight in its wonderful see
merry, to revel in its pure air, and
sunshine, to enjoy the hospitality OF
its people.
Its citizens wish to be we'll Informed
in all pertaining to their state. Its
visitors will be anxious to know its
wonderful history.

wONANLY WISDOM.

Back and forth in the rocker,
Lost in a reverie deep,
The mother rocked while trying
To sing the baby to sleep.
The baby began a-crowing,
For silent he could not keep;
And after a while the baby
Had crowed his mother to sleep.
To free a house of mice, sprinkle rec
pepper where they are likely to rur
in it. They will soon leave.
Don't discourage the boy when be
comes to you with his cares or troub'
les. Sympathize with him, and thank
God he confides In you.
The sweetest, purest ornament that
q woman can wear, and of which she
should feel proudest, is the clinging
necklace of her baby's arms.
You can make pretty and durable
table mats of the bottoms of used
grape baskets. Tear on the sides and
cover the bottom part with white linen
or table oil cloth.
Hang a palm-leaf fan by each bed
It is a comfort to have a breeze al
command when you wake in the mid
die of sultry night, and the cooler
air and the regular motion of tanning
often .soothes one to sleep.
Some folks are troubled by potatos
turning dark after being boiled, es-
pecially at this time OF the year. II
they are peeled an hour or so before
they are cooked, and left to stand in
, cold water, they will keep nice and
white.
Butter may be kept nice and solid
in warm weather If put in bowl that
is covered with a plate and set in a
pan of cool water. Then fold a towel
and lay across the plate with the
corners hanging down into the water,
and put the pan in cool, if possible,
a drafty place, and the evaporation
will keep the butter firm.
To keep flies from roosting on the
screen door, ready to come in when 1t
is opened, take a piece of MANILA
paper as long as the door is wide and
about half a yard wide, and cut into
narrow strips to within two inches
of the top then tack across the top of
the door. The gentlest breeze, or the
movement of the door. when opened.
will keep the flies away.
This is why his marriage was fail
ure: He did all the courting before
marriage. He never talked his affairs
over with his wife. He thought of his
wife only as a cheap housekeeper. He
never dreamed that wife deserved
praise or compliments. He married an
ideal, and was disappointed to find 1t
had flaws. He paid no attention to his
personal appearance after marriage.
He treated his wife as he would not
have dared to treat another woman.-

PRESERVING FRUITS
FOB EXHIBITION

A great many experiments have
been made In the attempt to nnd some
fluid or solutions in which the more
perishable fruits could be kept for
exhibition at fairs and expeditions.
Some Of these have proved very salts
factory for certain fruits. but It II
doubtful II any process will ever BE-
discovered By which the softsr ktDAs,
such as strawberries and raspberries
can be kept for any considerable
length Of time without much change
in color.
The specimensd to be preserve
should be the most perfect obtain
able. free from all blsmishss and Inn
perfections. In most cases fruit Of Q
fair degree Of ripsness IL better than
partly green specimens.
Exhibition Jars should be OF clear
white glass and preferably with
ground glass shoppers. The tall cylin-
drical form Is desirable. especially for
the smaller fruits.
The sorted fruit In FIRST carefully
placed In the jar which Is then nlled
with clear water. After standing a
short time the water should be poured
on SO as to remove all particles OF
dirt from the jar and contents. The
jar may then be filled with the pre-
serving fluid and kept in q dark. cool
place until the time for exhibition.
Frequent examination should be made
to determine how we'll the fruit Is
keeping. II the liquid becomes COL
ored from the fruit. II should be pour
ed of and replaced by fresh nuid.
The following formulas have been
successfully used at the Colorado As-
ricultural College. especially with
plums. grapes. cherries. currants and
gooseberrfes:
Formalin, 6 parts.

Death Valley and the surrounding
country are in the tbrOes OF a series
Of earthquakes which began three
weeks ago and the most violent Of
which occurred last Wednesday
morning before daylight, carrying
Consideration among the mining
camps and resulting in many miners
and prospectors fleeing from the dis
trict.
Samuel Lawrence, one OF the first
miners to reach here with details OF
the earthquake, said Tuesday that
for three weeks past there have been
one or two rumbles daily. They have
all been light with the exception OF
that which upheayed the district
Wednesday. The dismal crags OF the
Funeral Range seemed to fairly totter
when the severe shock came last
week. Miners were tossed from their
hunks, camp equipment was scattered
about, horses and mules stampeded
and immense boulders thrown down.
At daybreak the miners commenced
to leave.
