LYDIA E. PINkHAM

Nature and q 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 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 4. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and eflica-
cious than any 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, 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 l 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 l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
l followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia L. 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 f. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for. Mrs. Mutf,
il will do for other suffering women.

him OF rest.

him OF rest.
In the hope that fatigue would cure
insomnia, he donned his clothing and
sauntered away through the deserted
streets. his heavy leather soles
dumping upon board walks and across
sandy patches. II was past one O'Clock
In the morning. and all was still. He
wandered idly along the main
thoroughfare. and reached the far end
OF the town. before his attention was
attracted by sound from the water
front. where holloway through the still
ness a steam winch was chugging and
suffering as II toiled away with its
load. IL brought him TO a quick halt
and aroused in his mind a multitude Of
questions, because along the entire
shore line OF this great country no
craft was now loading and none ar
irving. according to his knowledge. He
hastily directed his steps toward the
wharves, stealthily seeking the shad
ows OF the palm trees, and stopping
now and then TO avoid any chance OF
being observed.
Lying against the pier was small
gunboat OF the United States navy,
which was receiving supplies. and the
men at work were evidently hurrying
at their utmost. The vessel had not
been there during the daylight hours
of this he was certain-hence her
loading at night could indicate but
one thing. desire for secrecy. His
nerves keyed up in the hope OF dis
covery, alert and inquisitiye. he crept
close to the freight shed where the arc
lights threw huge spots of white.
So this accounted for the disposal
OF those mysterious orders which had
been reported to him by Meredith and
others, But where could they be
bound? What was the destination of
this ship which. even as he watched,
was casting on her lines preparatory
to sailing away into the night?

WHAT THE STRAWBERRY DOES

WHAT THE STRAWBERRY DOES
'Including the special which left
at o'clock last night, the Queen
ed 2S6 carloads OF strawberries to
the eastern and northern markets
from the Chattanooga district within
the past fifteen days" says the Chat
tanooga Times.
This story OF the strawberry, COW
ering a period of just two weeks,
contains facts that are significant in
view of the plea of local commission
men that Padueah gardeners go in
for berry culture on an extensive
scale.
The Times says that the crop was
damaged 25 per cent by the rains,
SO that these figures. immense as
they are, do not represent the full
value of the berry business.
Continuing, the Times says that
"the prices received for the straw
berries have varied somewhat. At
the opening of the season as much as
$3.50 and s2.75 crate was received
Yesterday the price had dropped to
$1.75. The general average for the
season has been from 81 to s2.25."
Now, listen: at Is conseryatively
estimated that the berry crop so far
has enriched the Chattanooga district
to the extent of about $500, 900. for
fully $1,000 has been received for
every full car shipped out. The
Queen and Crescent railroad alone
has received in the neighborhood of
s21.460 for transporting the berries
as far as Cincinnati. and the Fruit
Growers express has received about
$22,62O for the use of its cars and
the Icing expenses. Altogether, the
strawberry crop has been rich in re-
suits for Chattanooga district grow
ers."
Three hundred thousand dollars
dropped right into the immediate
vicinity of Chattanooga in two
weeks, There is the great advan-
tage the berry grower and the truck
gardener has over the cultivator of
tobacco and cereals; his crop is gar
nered early, sold quickly and the re-
turns are immediate cash In hand.
See where the strawberries from
the Georgia border went:
"Of the above 1877 carloads went
to Cincinnati. probably half of which
were reconsigned to other places
from there. Cleveland, Ohio, got
&C carloads; Columbus. Ohio, 10:
Pittsburg. ~; Buffalo. n. Y, 10; In
dlanapolis. 10. and Toledo, Ia. The
other cars went to various other
points In one and two car lots"
Chattanooga crop is earlier than
Paducah's, to be sure. but Columbus.
Indianapolis. Pittsburg and Chicago
and the large cities between have no
strawberries of their own as yet.
Last week they were paying Is cents
a quart in Pittsburg and Columbus,
when five cents was touched in Pa
ducah.

ped into Paducah from the northern
cities since May 10. Would 1t have

SoTHERN DIVORCE IS MYSTERY
ACTOR SAID TO BE IN RENO AND
WIFE IN NEW YORK.
Actor Courtenay Denies He Is to
Wed Miss Harmed and Tells of
Their Tenderness.

NEW YORK. July 23.-Cpnsiderable
mystery was thrown around the E. H.
Sothern divorce case yesterday, when it
became known that Mr.. Sothern Is not
abroad. as was supposed. but is in Reno,
New. where his wife. Virginia Harmed,
has fled the papers in her divorce suit.
The first intimation that the actor was
not abroad came in dispatches from Reno,
which said that Mr. Sothern was at a
hotel there. and insisted that Miss
Harmed, instead Of being in Nevada tp
establish a residence. was at her New
York home. Sothern's Reno attorney
fled a demurrer to the complaint yester-
day.
Miss Harned's attorneys admit that the
actress has not established legal resi-
dence in Nevada, but they seem confident
OF winning their case. 1t Is believed that
a way has been found to evade the tech
nicality Of the law governing the time q

vorcc can be granted.

also that the press of accommodating

tive that he return to his former
