LYDIA E. PINKHHM

Nature and a woman's work con- 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 bafile the most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs.
 From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia l.. Pimkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world remedy for their pe- culiar ills, more potent and effiea- cious than any combination of drugs.
 Lydia l.. 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 1 could hardly walk. About two years ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. l followed it. and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re- stored health ard strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering women.n
 What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound did for Mrs. Muff, twill do for other suffering women.

Victim, of Hard Luck.

Hear about the hard luck of Dan Moulton, the Stanford trainer?" in- .quired one alumnus of another. com ing back from the big game.
 No; what happened?'
 Well. Dan. you know, used to be a professional foot racer. Went all over the world when in his athletic prime, sprinting for money against all corners. They say he won 26S races; never was beaten but twice in all his career. One of the fellows that beat him Dad met later in another race and outran him. Dad was after the other fellow for long while to get a return race But the fellow beat Dad again
 How was that?"

PROPERTY OWNERS
ASK FOR SEWER

The sewer committee of council is
considering the question of extending
the public sewer on West Mahoning
street. Several property owners on the
latter street desire to avail themselves
of sewer privileges and at the last
meeting of council the matter was re.
ferred to the above committee for in.
vestigation. At the next meeting &C.
tion will probably be taken in the mat.
ter.
The public sewer at present extends
along the alley at the rear of Mill
street between West Market street and
Penn street. This enables few of the
property owners ON West Mahoning
street to connect with the sewer, but
all that portion of the street between
the alley above named and the alley
west of Chestnut street where the deer
cut occurs is without the benefit of the
sewer.
Along West Mahoning street the
land drains naturally into Mahoning
creek which flows nearly parallel with
the street on the north. Several of the
dwellings, are compelled to sewer di-
rectly into the creek which becomes
very offensive at times. 1t is the latter
phase of the situation that is stirring
council to action.
Council will not be perm tilted to
make sewer extension without per-
mission from the department of health
at Harrisburg and this circumstance
furnishes point on which the out
come of the matter seems to hinge at
present.
1t is well. l.known fact that the de-
partment of health is opposed to the
principle of sewering into any of the
streams of the State. 1t does not seem
at all unlikely that at no distant day
municipalities may be required to
withdraw their sewers from the riv-
ers and dispose of sewage according to
some other method. Meanwhile DR..
Dixon is not much inclined to grant
permission to extend sewers and thus
contribute to increased pollution of
streams. 1t is thought, however, that
when the department. fully under
stands the need of a sewer on West
Mahoning street that permission will
be granted for the extension.

GROUND BROKEN
FOR NEW CHAPEL

Ground was broken for the new
chapel at the Ea End Mission Mon
day.
AS stated in previous article the
building will be of frame and will
occupy the site ON East Market street
where Shepperson' coal yard was for
merly located. Robert Oornelison will
have charge of the erection of the
building.
In order to hasten the work along
the chapel will be built on pillars,
constructed of concrete. The cellar
will be dug later, while the building
is in course of erection or after it is
completed.
Work on the pillars was begun Mon
day. Tuesday the carpenters began
the work of framing. BY the time
that the pillars are finished the car
penters will have the framing done, so
that beyond that point the building
will go up with a jump. Mr.. Hinck-
ley Monday stated that in all proba-
bility the new chapel will be ready
for occupancy by the middle of May.
In the interim the mission will con-
tinue to use the zimmerman building
as a place of worship.

The Rotator, Is the Name of a
Perfect Nickel Alarm Clock.

Whether you are required to report
for work "On the minute" or per.
sons of leisure, a good alarm clock is
often a necessity. The ROTATOR is
dependable and is recommended to
both light and sound sleepers as posi-
lively the safest and surest guarantee
of being aroused at the time desired.
Ultra sound sleepers, after using
the common, continuous alarm clock
a short time, have found that the
alarm awakens them momentarily on.
ly, and they again lapse into slumber,
the alarm having failed of its purpose
The alternate noise and silence of the
Rotator" is so irritating in its eff.
feet and so persistent in keeping at it
that it never fails of its object.
The retail price of the clock is So 90.
On account of the universal depres.
sion, the manufacturer was compelled
to have ready money ,and 1.-The Phils
delphia Press" made an arrangement
kirect with him that enables them to
offer 1.-The Press Daily, one whole
year, and one of the "Rotators, " de-
livered at you door, both for four dol
ars and twenty-five cents.
The saving is yours, but hurry, al
the demand is greater than the supply
