II is said in England that the ad-
vance in democracy has resulted in an
increase of books dealing with the
peerage. Debrett, the older book of
geological reference. now in its one
hundred and ninety-fifth year. with
its $500 pages, is very different
book from the original record. Since
the date OF Queen Victoria's accession
no fewer than $40 peerages and 400
baronetcies have been bestowed. max
ing an average of five of the one and
seven of the other per annum.

"Cat-tails," which are scarcely util-

England as filling for the upholster-

ply has been very small on account OF
the poor results which have been OBJ
tanned by the use Of this material.
The closest competitor of "cat.tails"
is the Indian fiber kopak, which, even
when of poor quality, sells at nine
cents a pound. The "cat-tails" which
have thus far been sent TO England

Nature and woman'S work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woinan'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 l.. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
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 !
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
| followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia L. PiulSham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinl;ham's advice re.
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women
What Lydia 4. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Mutf,
it will do for other suffering women.
