LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good ld-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 ofdrugs.
Lydia E. 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 SC much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women 1 am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years l had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time 1 had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what I suffered, and at times 1
could hardly walk. About two years
ago | wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
| followed it, and can truly say hat
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health ard strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E.. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

HAD DRIVEWAYS
ONE THING THAT IMPRESSED
WASHINGTON VISITOR.
Arrangements That Allowed Carriages
Of Visitors to Drive Up to Door
Roller Skaters and Women
Chauffeurs Plentiful.

A
I'll give you 20 guesses and will
wager that even then you won't hit
on the thing that impressed me most
in Washington" said the woman who
had just been on a visit to that town.
THE capitol?"
NO"
THE library?"
mo"
The monument?'
"Oh, you'll never guess. II was the
number of houses with carriageways
up to the door.
Il never saw SO many in any city
In this country. Some of the houses
hadn't more than ten feet of lawn be.
tween them and the sidewalk. That
made no difference. The drive took
a shallow dip into the yard, gSazed
the front steps and went out on the
other side.
Il developed a sort Of mania for
counting the houses with drive
ways. l found them in the most un-
expected places.
Some 25-foot front houses in a
solid block would have almost the en-
tire scrap of front yard bitten out by
the curve of the driveway. Where
the houses were on lots which occu-
pied narrow spaces between two
streets the driveway would run
straight through the house; go n on
n street and come out on the other.
Somehow nothing ever gave me a
more vivid impression of the impor-
lance of Washington functions than
these driveways did. What if they
did slash right through the sidewalks?
The carriages to be accommodated
would carry officialdom, and it had
the right OF way there.
NO getting out at the curbstone
and walking to the door for it, even
If the way is %carpeted beneath and
canopied above. Official carriages
want to drive smack up to the house.
And if they a drive into the house,
so much the better.
Next to the driveways. so far as
attention was concerned, came the
roller skaters. l suppose there are
about SO, 200 children of skating age
In Washington. / should estimated
that at least &c, of them are whiz-
zing around the streets mounted upon
two skates, while the balance Of them,
more or less content with an equip
ment of one skate a child, are doing a
sort of hop whizz, undismayed
by the frequent complications which
ensue.
The asphalt streets are really a
temptation not easily resisted, and
after dark the roller skaters seem to
have grown suddenly and mysteriously
taller. 1t was a safe bet that big sis
ter was renewing her youth by a
surreptitious spin on little brothers
rollers.
Next to the roller skaters came the
women who were running autos. Not
so much the big motor cars, though
some of them had women at the steer
ing gear. But there seemed to be
hundreds of electric %runabouts clip
ping noiselessly along the smooth
streets, and certainly most of them
were run by women.
Women? Why, half the time they
were mere girls, who looked about old
enough to be learning how to spell
brake. Whether they could spell it or
not they could use it to perfection. I
was told that although Washington
streets are, as l say, fairly alive with
these machines, wherein women not
only sit supreme but sit alone, there

Burglar Gets Warm Reception.

When Will Rogers OF Hattiesburg
reached home after midnight he drew
his chair before the CRATE and prepared
to count the money in his pocket, when
his wife informed him that there was a
man under the bed. She had discov-
cred the intruder just as her husband
entered the house. Rodgers got his
pistol and shot the would-be burglar in
the leg and then held him until the po-
lice we're summoned.
