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 the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar. ills, more potent and efica-
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 l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I 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.

PROFITS NOT CUT
But International Paper Cos. Divi
dends Are, for Conservatism.

New York, April 1.-The directors of

clared a quarterly dividend of one per
cent. on the preferred stock. This IS 1t
reduction Of one half Of one per cent.
from the last previous dividend and
places the stock on four instead of q
six per cent. basis. Accompanying the
announcement of the dividend reduc
ton the directors gave out the follow
ing statement addressed to the stock
holders:
Although the earnings Of the COM
pany have been well maintained and
would warrant the declaration of the
usual dividend on the preferred stock,
your directors, in view of the general
business depression now prevailing,
have decided that wise and conser-
vative policy in the interest Of the
stockholders, justilies a temporary re-
duction of the cumulative dividend
in order that important improvements
to the plant may be completed and the
finances of the company maintained in
a strong position"

Revision Of Bay State Caucus Returns

at least 16 will vote for Taft on the
first ballot. 10 will go to the conven-

$274,33l In Gifts
to BOWd0in College,

Brunswick, Me, April president
William Dewitt Hyde of Bowdoin Col
lege announced tonight that the total
Of $274,3316 &c had been added to the
general endowment fund of the insti-
tuition. On March 26, 1907, the Ma
tional Education Board, the chief sup
porter Of which is John d. Rockefeller,
offered $4,000 to Bowdoin on condi-
tons that the college raised 100000
on or before March 81, 1903. Some
time later Andrew Carnegie promised
that he would contribute the last 500
900 needed to secure the amount from
the General Education Board.
President Hyde in his statement
made tonight said Three alumni
who desire to remain unknown at once
came forward with gifts amounting to
$4,000. thereby making, with the gift
Of the General Education Board half
of the total, $250,000 to be secured.
When every dollar raised would secure
one dollar already offered the alumni
were asked to vote by mail whether
to undertake to raise the remainder.
The vote was almost unanimous in
favor of the effort. Some progress
was made during the summer and fall
but after the panic the prospects look
ed dark, and many advised abandoning
the undertaking. In December came
the promise Of the last $4,000 from
Mr.. Carnegie.
THAT and gifts secured previously
reduced the amount then to be raised
by general subscription to $4,000. An
appeal was made to the alumni to sew
eral outside friends and especially to
the under classes. Immediately a
promise of 100000 from George S.
Bowdoin of New York, the representa-
tive of the family of the founder of
the college, made success practically
certain. The alumni. both individually
and in classes responded most gener
ously. and several large gifts We're re-
ceived from outside friends. AS re-
suit the college secures an addition to
its general endowment Of $274,331. &C. ;"
