Every such suffering woman owes it to herself to give Lydia E. Pinkham' s Vegetable Compound trial.

Next Tuesday evening Rev. Madison c. Peters of New York, will deliver his lecture on "Italy", illustrated with moving pictures and slides, in War ner hall. pr. Peters has wide repu- tation as a popular lecturer.
 Just at this time when all eyes have been turned on the situation in Italy this lecture is very timely. People read of the terrible calamity that has worked it's ruin in part of that coun- try and get a small idea of the situa- tion. Having traveled through Italy in reality or by picture and heard from man like pr. Peters a description of the country. one comes to realize far more what Italy really is Dr. Peters has fine pictures of the country, and the fact that many of them are mov- ing pictures adds to the attrac ctive- ness.

don, and l a. m the next day in
Manila, Philippine Islands
The day on which this almost
world wide revolution in measuring
time took place was November IS.
1883. There are people who Will
recall what excitement it caused at
the times. There were those who de-
clared such thing an outrageous
and impertinent meddling with the
affairs of the Almighty, and there
was one clergyman in Charleston
5. C.. who declared that this pre-
sumption on the part of puny hu-
mans would be followed by some
terrible visitation signifying the an
ger of the Heavenly powers. The
Charleston earthquake did follow
soon after, and no doubt the worthy
clergyman considered this a special
fulfillment of his dire prOphesy.
Previous to 1888 the methods of
measuring time in the United States
We're so varied and so numerous
as to be ludicrous. There were fifty
different standards used in the
United States from coast to coast
and on one road between New York
and Boston, whose actual difference
is twelve minutes. there were three
distinct standards Of time. Even
small towns had two different stan
dards. one known as town" or To-
cal time and the other railroad
time. Naturally this condition of
affairs caused endless complications.
and railroad officials were harried
to the point OF despair in their eff
forts TO mane out time tables that
could be understood by the lay
public.

the country is divided came into be

that there are four different stand

that know that the adoption of this
method of regulating time was due
almost entirely to the efforts of one

By general consent the credit of
this work of bringing order where

of this achievement Mr.. Allen is
