There is a particularly dangerous
spot on the Paradise road that should
receive the attention of the county
commissioners This spot is a place
in the road near the powder house of
f. Reinhart and company. The road
here follows the fence of the Stauffer
and Remnant field, and at one place
the Humboldt river has washed away
its banks and the fence has fallen into
the stream. There are two roads lead
ing past this spot, and one of then
is hardly a yard away from the high
bank that reaches down to the deep
waters of the river. Travel usually
takes the outside road, but some dark
night some rig will take the lower road
and the horses may shy anda dread
full accident will follow. A few hours
work would fence the dangerous spot
and it may be the means of saving
some persons life.

There are more catarrh in this sec

constantly failing to cure with local
treatments, pronounced it incurable.

constitutional disease and therefore re-

Under Dr.. Clark. Umbrella.

DR.. Clark, the founder of Christian
Endeavor, during his life at college
gave good deal of time and energy
to a mission Sunday school, in which
he discovered and proved his power to
win and help young people. Among
the workers at that mission was Miss
Harriet Abbott, bright. vivacious.
enthusiastic young lady of honorable
New England descent. Her family
reckoned among its ancestors John
Alden, the friend of Miles Standish
and the lover Of Priscilla. Her grand
father and father had both been hon.
ored ministers. AS it happened, her
sisters had married ministers. and
Miss Harriet Abbott has since con-
fessed to intimate friends that she had
settled it positively in her own mind
that whatever else might happen 10
her, she would not marry a minister
there We're ministers enough in the
family already.
But the work at the little school led
to pleasant friendship with the ear
nest young student, and one stormy
Saturday evening as she walked horne
from the mission under the shelter OF
DIR. Clarks umbrella a question was
asked and answered which made two
lives one and gave the man who was

LYDIA e. PfNKHKM

Nature and q woman's work COM
hined 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 effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
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:

Of other suffering women am willing
