A cheerful tune, the while she moves
about.
She has exasperating cheerfulness
She's never ready when we're going
out,
But that small fact will cause her no
distress.
It's useless, know well, Cor me to
shout,
"Well miss the train!" But then she
has to dress!
/ know that all things come to those
who wait
Provided that the proper efforts
made,
That chances, too, against one aren't
arrayed,
That their arrival is deereed by fate,
But even then they often come too
late.
When one has grown accustomed to
the shade
The suns full warmth and splendor

Through clouds one does not care to

And patience is virtue, | admit,
If not. as some contend it is, sub

But not forever. After 50 long I'm

Washington Aug. 4-The treasury dc

expenditures over receipts amounted 10

means, practically, deficit OF 81 900 OOO

fiscal year, and points TO the fact That
the revenues are dropping behind the
receipts al a much swiftcr pace than a
year ago
In fact, at the end of the first month
OF the last fiscal year there was sur.
plus Of nearly Sll,0OO.00O. It was not
until the depression OF last fall caused
decline in customs and in internal rev.
enue receipts that the deficit began to

expenditures and war department ex-
penditures have largely increased.
Customs receipts Tor the July inst
closed were over Ss,OOO.0O0O below those
Of July, 1907 and Internal revenue re-
ceipts were about 81 100000 lower The
heavy miscellaneous receipts helped in
part to cover the falling of in customs

Il is, OF course, to be expected that
the treasury department will not con.
tinue on the down grade in the fashion
1t has in July Tor the rest OF the fiscal
year. and that receipts will gradually
begin TO mend Otherwise. the whole
available cash balance would be wiped
out long before the end OF the fiscal

the drain on the treasury enormous, and
the gap between Uncle Sans trousers

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 +. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave 60 the women
of the world remedy for their pc
culiar Ills, more potent and eillca-
cious thanany combination ofdrugs.
Lydia T.. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, Of 5l5 NC. St,
Louisiana, No, writes:
complete restoration to health
means so much 10 me that for the sake
of other suffering women ! am willing
