on Wagner in particular.

INDIA 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 grandmothcrS 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 III
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia T.. Pmkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world u remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and efiica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized rs the
standard remedy for woman's ills.

Get Together

Get Together" is a motto every
town should blaze over its town
hall, and every citizen over his desk.
The ability to get together is
everything. Any town or city is the
result of the combined efforts of a
few progressive boosters, and the
fact that sc many towns remain the
IN size year after year is because
their citizens will not pull together,
for any desired enterprise. either
through indifference or because
some one connected with said enter
prise has at some time stepped on
my dogs tail.
There are those in every town
who would rather have a watering
trough with moss on it and a nice
big bull-frog in the middle than the
educational influences of a college
or institution, but they are in the
minority. and the fault lies to a
great extent in the average citizens
desire to let somebody else do the
pushing.
From the giving of a county fair
to the landing of some great enter
prise. the extent of success all hing
es on that little motto. Get To-
gether."
