No other medicine for Woman.S
ills in tho world has received such
widespread and unqualified en-
dorsement as has Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, made
from native roots and herbs.
No other medicine has such q
record of success for woman's dis
eases, or such hosts of grateful
friends as has Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound.
For moro than 80 years 1t has been
the standard remedy for feminine
ills, Inflammation, liberation, and
consequent Spinal Weakness.
Ithas relieved more cases Of Back
ache and Local Weaknesses than
any other one remedy. 1t dissolves
and expels tumors in an early stage
of development.
Irregularities and periodic pains,
Weakness of the Stomach, Indiges-
ton, Bloating, Nervous Prostitution,
Headache, General Debility, quickly
yield to it also deranged organs,
causing pain, dragging sensations
and backache. Under all circum-
stances it acts in harmony with the
female system.
It removes that wearing feeling,
extreme lassitude, "don't care "and
swami to : be : left alone" feeling,
excitabihty, irritability, nervousness,
dizziness, faiptness, sleeplessness,
Aatulency, melancholy orthe "blues."
These are indications OF Feminine
disorders, which this medicine over
comes as well as slight arrangement
of the Kidneys Of either sex.
Women who are sick and want to
get well should refuse to accept any
substitute for Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.

Safe for Children.

But the delicious cooking-the con-
venience, the ecOnOmy-are facts of the
least Importance. The greatest fact is
that children can safely drink Van
Camps.
Raw milk, like raw meat, is an unfit
food, because of the danger of germ in
lection. You will not give such milk
to your children after you know Van
Camps.
Van Camps, when drunk cold, has a
slight almond flavor, due to sterilization.
This flavor itself is delicious. But it
means more than goodness. 1t means
that the milk is pure-that it is germ
less. 1t means that a child can drink
all it wants without thought of infec-
ton. A child cannot do that with raw
milk.
Van Camps Milk comes in and TO-
cent cans-at your grocer's. One can is
sufficient to prove every claim. After
that, buy case or two at time, so as
to have it always on hand. Grocers
give discounts on cases.

LOW DOWN WAGONS.
One Farmer Who Finds Them Just the
Thing for the Farmer.

I would not be without my low
down farm wagon for three times its
cost, writes a correspondent of Or
ange Judd Farmer. l am using mine

kinds for cattle. They are handy about
loading, handy in turning, as you can
turn much shorter than can be done

coupling. This combination makes a
wagon that should last for Is or 20
years. OF course. low wheel wagon
Ia not the thing for heavy hauling on
bad roads. They are intended for
farm purposes only.
1 would advise anyone on the farm
to buy a low wagon with finch tires
and 81 inch skein. Mine is az
inch skein, but that is too heavy. This
kind of wagon will not cut up the
aeld. The draft Is bound to be heavier
with a standard wagon.

TAKING CARE OF HARNESS.
Do Not Let II Get Dirty and Dry as. II
VIII BE Sure to Break.

There is nothing like leather"
But there is nothing like knowing how
to keep your leather goods in fine con-
iition. too. Leather is composed Of a
mass of fine tendrils, intimately inter-
locked and entwined. When in good.
pliable condition. each tendril Is ca
pable of much stretching.
II allowed to become dry and hard.
when the leather is subjected to a
severe pull, the tendrils break instead
Of stretching. But this does not mean
that leather boots or harness should
be kept soaked with oil or dressing.
Elbow grease applied in quantity Is
better.
"All dressings should be applied
sparingly." is the sound advice of a
saddlery concern. Black oil should
always be used on black harness and
not neatsfoot oil. as the latter will
draw out the black dye and leave the
harness brown. The black harness
fats now on the market make excellent
farm harness dressing. They contain
the "nourishment" necessary for keep
Ing the. harness In good order.
But first, all dirt should be washed
Of with luke warm water and ordinary
soap The black fat should then be
applied with cloth. given short
time to penetrate the leather and then
rubbed dry with another cloth.
Some make the mistake of oiling
without unbuckling the harness. The
parts that need nourishment most are
under the buckles where the metal
causes hardness and brittleness. If
people would vary the holes of the
harness occasionally 1t would last
much longer. &
An objection to neatsfoot oil is that
it inclines to wash OF the beeswax
from the stitches, leaving the bare
thread, which then soon breaks.

RURAL JoTTINGs.

Every question that is pertinent to

With prices for nitrogen going up

their dealings with you. the straighter

plenty of closets and a good lower hall
with an open stairway. Yet these
rooms are as large as the average
rooms in new houses, as houses 60 at
the present time. and they are good
deal larger than some. Years ago
rooms were larger. but that was when
building materials and labor were very
much cheaper than they are now. A
builder can almost tell the age, Of a
house by the size OF the rooms. But
there are other contributing causes;
one is that we understand building
better, and 1t is not necessary to build
10 large to get the same amount Of
comfort. AS one lady expressed 1t, Il
have learned to like my small kitchen.

I don't have to walk SO much"
We have learned how to ventilate
houses 80 that the air in small rooms
in new houses is better than the air
in large rooms In houses built 20 or 30
years ago. One reason for better VEN
tilation is that houses now are set
up well from the ground. 1t is a rare
thing to see a new house less than
three feet above grade and many of
them are more than four feet up.
There was a time when cellars were
confined to one corner of the house
and they were often dark, damp. dingy
affairs, but modern houses practically
all have cellars the full size Of the
house, divided into compartments; one
for the furnace, one for coal and one
for the storage of fruit and vegetables.
