LYDIA e. PINKHHM

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 efhca-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's Ills
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of SIS 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
could hardly walk. About two years
ago 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. It 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

Busting Diamonds.

There are big feather busters and lit
tie feather busters: perhaps the ittlest
buster Of all would be one of the sort
that they use in jewelers. shops to dust off
the diamonds. Here was a jeweler's
show window all full of diamonds, all in
pretty eases and all sparkling and gilt
tering in the sun, and it didn't seem as
if they could sparkle any brighter; but
now you see the easing at the rear of
the window slide back, and then looking
calmly in from there you see man who
is armed with a feather custer, the IL
NEST and daintiest of feather busters,

with its turned handle no bigger around
than a lead pencil and with its little
soft fluffy feathers dyed red: With this
feather duster-for dust will settle in
even a closed window-he proceeds to
clean the diamonds; not swinging it
around with swish and a smash as he
would have done with a big buster, but
using it very softly and gently, as it
was becoming to use such a buster put
to such a use, and when he had finished
dainty busting the gems he withdrew
and closed the slide.

burden of building the roads and keep

by the more sensible plan of having
the state do it. The towns will, OF

LAFOLLETTE's MAGAZINE.

Senator La Follette's announcement
that he will soon begin publication of a
weekly magazine along special lines
will be received with varied feelings
by the public men. The senator prom
ises impartial and fearless discussion
of men and measures and says he in
tends to publish the records of pub
lie officials on questions of vital IN
terests. 1t is hard to repress smile
over the CONSERVATION the prospect OF
printed records, joined to a running
commentary by the Wisconsin senator
will bring to certain politicians.
This is even worse than chautauqua.
There will be no escaping the maya
zine. The mail carriers will bring it to
the rural delivery box on the corner
or the post by the front gate Records,
records and comment by La Toilette.
The searchlight of publicity, not of eS-
posture but of publicity.
There is nothing for honest men but
much for rogues to fear from printed
records. If Senator La Toilette VIII
stick to his promise and discuss men
and measures impartially his magazine
will become of much benefit. If not it
will die of hamilton and it's author
and publisherd suffer in public estima-
ton. A magazine published by senat-
or upon the records of public men and
dealing with public measures is tick
fish venture to its publisher. Its OPP

interesting magazine. 1t is to be pre-
dicted that he will make it valuable and
that it will be edited with sincere pur-
pose. The T,-R requests place on its
