Plnkham's Vegetable Compound made
me well woman and have no more
backache. I hope 1 can help others by
telling them what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has done for
me" -MRs. EMMA MISE, 1873 F>irstSt.,
Milwaukee, Wis.
The above is only one of the thou
sands of grateful letters which are
constantly being received by the
Pinkham Medicine Company of Lynn,
Mass, which prove beyond a doubt that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, made from roots and herbs,
actually does cure these obstinate dis
eases Of women after all other means
have failed. and that every such suf-
ering woman owes it to herself to at
least give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound a trial before submit
ting to an operation, or giving up
hope of recovery.
Mrs. Pinkhaln, of Lynn, Mass,
invites all sick women to write
her for advice. She has guided
thousands to health and her
advice is free.

FLING SQUIRRELS RARE.
Once They Were Common In the UP.
State Woods,

Once They Were Common In the Up
State Woods.
Several flying squirrels were seen
in the woods in the central part Of
Utica, N. Y, the other day. They
are not very common and few of them
are seen in that section, although thir-
ty-fve or forty years ago nearly every
old hollow birch tree had it's family
of little striped air navigators.
The flying squirrel, be it explained
for the benefit of those who have un-
doubtedly never seen one, does not
ety. in the proper acceptance Of the
word, but is able by spreading the
weblike strips of thin skin that ex-
tend from it's fore to it's hind legs on
either side Of it's body to sail several
rods on a gradually downward slant
from the top of one tree to a point
lower down on the limbs Or trunk of
another. Then by running higher up
the tree 1t has alighted on it is able to
repeat the performance and thus avoid
it's enemies by sailing from tree to
tree.
These squirrels were once numer-
Gus in northern New York, but like
their kinsmen, the black squirrel and
the fox squirrel, have all vanished
from the northern woodlands.

THE WITCHES TREE.
Curious Superstitious Regarding the
Influence of the Elder.

49, 'SNS ouHS' ohiA'oNo I1SSo'd'iiS AiiO
Influence of the Elder.
County people speak of the elder
tree as The Witches Tree" and
planted it near farm buildings and
diaries to keep off witches. They also
say that the roots should never come
near we'll, still less grow into it,
or the water will be spoiled Evelyn's
opinion was also unfavorable. He
says: Il do by no means commend
the scent of it, which is very noxious
to the air.
eve learn from Biesius that a GER
tain house in Spain, seated among
many elder trees, diseased and killed
nearly all its inhabitants, which, when
at last they were grubbed up, became
very healthy and wholesome place."
Cattle scarcely touch the elder and
the mole is driven away by the scent.
Carriers often place branches on their
horses heads to keep off flies. Moth
ing will grow we'll in the company of
the elder, and when it has been re-
moved and all its roots carefully
grubbed up it is some few years be-
fore the ground becomes perfectly
sweet and good for anything.
The berries, besides feeding the
birds, make excellent country wine,
delicious with soda water in summer
or taken hot in winter; the wood Is
particularly good for skewers and the
curious jews red fungus grows on
elder stumps. A species Of elder in
the Tyrol is covered with beautiful
scarlet berries.

THINK HARD
It Pays to Think About Food.

The unthinking life some people lead
often causes trouble and sickness, IL
Illustrated in the experience of a lady
in Fond Du Lac, Wis.
About four years ago I suffered
dreadfully from indigestion, always
having eaten whatever I liked, not
thinking of the digestible qualities.
This indigestion caused palpitation Of
the heart so badly could not walk up
flight of stairs without sitting down
once or twice to regain breath and
strength.
II became alarmed and tried dieting,
wore my clothes very loose, and many
other remedies, but found no relief.
Hearing of the virtues of Grape
Nuts and Postum, commenced using
them in place Of my usual breakfast of
coffee, cakes, or hot biscuit, and in
one weeks time was relieved of sour
stomach and other ills attending indi-
gestion. In a months time my heart
was performing it's functions naturally
and I could climb stairs and hills and
walk long distances
Il gained ten pounds in this short
time, and my skin became clear and I
completely regained my health and
strength. I continue to use Grape
Nuts and Postum for feel that lowe
my good health entirely to their use.
There's Reason"
Il like the delicious favour Of Grape
Nuts and by making Postum accord
ing to directions, it tastes similar to
mild high grade coffee"

She went up to the bundle with
mincing steps and lolled out mock
ing tongue at it as it lay upon the
floor. An evil hysteria was master
ing her. something outside herself
and not Of her; some power stronger
than she seemed to have rushed into
the frail tenement of her body and to
be controlling it and shattering it to
horrid and maniacal purposes.
The clock struck two.
She stiffened suddenly at the soft
warning sound, and the evil paroxysm
passed away. Placing both her hands
to the throbbing temples she fought
for moment with her mind and
called it back to action from the dark
places whittier 1t had gone.
Come back, come back!" she said
to herself in startled voice. "The
moment is at hand. Gather yourself
together; remember all the lessons
you have learned in the house at
Chiswick. Nothing must go wrong now.
The swing must be absolutely precise
You must do exactly the same as you
have done wit nth edummy for weeks.
Pull yourself together-now!"
She crept across the room to the
little bureau, opened drawer in it,
and took out long, heavy-handled
hunting knife sharpened to a keen
edge. Putting this down upon ia
BILE, she caught the hanging rope and
inserted the swivel clasp into the ring
upon the leather handle in the center
of the bundle. Then, retreating, she
took the other end Of the rope and
hoisted the sleeping boy in his pad
ded covering until the bundle was
nearly two yards from the ground
Holding the hoisted rope with tense
arms, she walked with it, pulling it
out towards the opposite wall of the
ROOM and fastened it securely six feet
above the floor to the oak pillar which
supported the shelf above a massive
sideboard
The bundle was now swinging gem
tly backwards and forwards some
four yards from the long curtained
window and some two above the floor
Miss Decies went to the door of the
room and switched off the electric
lights. Then she hurried to the tall
easements and pulled aside the heavy
green curtains, finally releasing the
hasp and opening the door-lke win
dows.
The fresh night air rushed into the
room as she did so, and as she crouch
ed, half out upon the low stone bal
cony, listening with the intentest ears
she caught the distant sound of pom
derous hoofs
With swift, careful movements she
peered out down Piccadilly The
projecting bay windows of the club
upon the right obscured her view, but
she caught the sound now more dis
tinctly, and knew that the great
wagon of hay was approaching. She
went back into the center of the
room and stood by the bundle, which
swung gently in the dark, a little
above her head.

Not Finished.

Once on a time lonely little boy
began praying to the Lord to send him
a baby brother. Regularly every night
before retiring he got down on his
knees and offered up his petition.
Finally he suggested that he had
waited long time, and hoped the
Lord would hurrp up matters.
IN few days the little brother
arrived. Looking at the baby little
bit, the lonely little boy said, Gee!
He's a great looking thing! Cant
talk, can't walk, amt got any hair
