Nature and q woman's work com.
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that tho
world has ever known.
In the good pld-fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs OF tho 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 q remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and eff1ca-
cious than any combination OF drugs.
Lydia f. 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 tina 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 I had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times
sculd hardly walk. About two years

Boston, Aug. 3o.-The taxes on the large
amount OF personal property Of Mrs.
Mary Baker G. Eddy. head OF the Chris

ccived by the city OF Newton. There was
considera BILE surprise In city hall quarters

tain Concord n H.. as her legal resi-

porter: Mrs Eddy, It is true, is taxed
on her personal property. so far as the
trusteeship is concerned. not in Newton,
where she resides but in Concord, where
she did reside.

Its rate OF fire Is now more than two

A fleet Of Dreadnoughts each mounting
ten twelve-inch guns will deliver

These new principles and the fact that
modern action Is fought at long

against destroyers. Its once 80 popular

clearance sales but wholesale and job

With the exception Of the cotton mills.
there is much less idle machinery In
the leading industries. Active capacity
Is charging at steel plants and iron
furnaces, worsted mills are doing better
and shoe shops have more orders on
hand. Several wage agreements have been
signed, and there Is little strife between
capital and labor. Needed rain has
fallen in leading corn districts. but
floods lave caused damage to cotton.
while wheat harvesting In the Canadian
Northwest Is retarded by rain. On the
whole, however, crops prospects are
satisfactory. Railway earnings thus far
