Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means so much
to me that for the sake of other suffer-
ing women am willing to make my
trouble public SO you may publish
this letter" - MRS. CHAs. BARCLAY,
RID, Graniteville, VT.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other Ined-
tcine we know of has such a record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years 1t has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
1t costs but little to try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclay it is worth noun
tains Of gold - to suffering women.

Chicago, April 3.--Wheat for May
delivery equalled the high point reach
ed during the celebrated Gates deal In
1905, when II was sold on the Board of
Trade today at $l.2l4 pushel. Only
twice during the last twenty years has
wheat sod at SO high figure on the
local exchange. The present high level
is due largely to the exceedingly ur-
gent demand for cash grain.

 ble Storm.

 Owing to the inability to se- cure suitable quarters, the school has been closed for this term The old school building will be torn down and replaced by large brick that will be ready for use by the opening of the fall term Many donations raised by sub scriptions from the school chil- dren of various schools over the state have been recieved by the school Board. These donations, though for the most part small, will, in the aggregate, materi- ally aid in the construction of the new buildings.

 A tent is at present serving as city hall until other quarters are procurable.

COTTON MARKET REFORM
Tennessee Enacts First Genuine Anti Bucketshop Gambling Bill in
 South
LLly Walter Parkerl

New Orleaus, April 26.-Tele- grams from Nashville announce that the Tennessee Legislature has passed a genuine anti-bucket shop law by an overwhelming majority. Thus, for the first time in the history of the South southern state has made prac- tical provision for the prohibi- ton of gambling in it's relation to agricultural products. Fur ther advices from Nashville are to the effect that Governor Pat terson will sign the bill, and that it will go into effect immediately thereafter.
 This bill prohibits, under sc we're penalties, all so-called future trading in agricultural products where a bona ide intention to receive and deliver the commodi- ty traded 1t does not exist at the time the transaction is entered into, but it-does not intetere with the right of any man to buy or sell such commodities for future delivery where a bona fide inten-
 ion to deliver and receive does exist.
 The Tennessee bill fully meets the views of the federal govern ment, the Legitimate cotton trade, and market experts the world over. or it, President w. s. Thompson of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange says: :,
 "It is the sort of legislation all The Southern states should have adopted long ago. Had they done so the immense losses to the producing class occasioned by the harmful phases of such laws as the Boykiu of Georgia, the May field of Texas and the Boddie oi Mississippi would not have oc- cured. During many years pss' ,he New Orleans Cotton Ex- change, in the interest ot the nroducer as well as of the cotton trade generally, has urged the nassaee of anti-bucketshop laws similar 10 the Tennessee meas ure.D
