Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound We can
furnish positive proof that it has made many remarkable
cures after all other means had failed.
Women who are suffering with some form Of female
illness should consider this.
As such evidence read these two unsolicited testimonial
letters. We guarantee they are genuine and honest state
ments of facts.
Cresson, Pa-"Five years ago L had q bad fall, and hurt
myself inwardly. i was under q doctors care for nine weeks,
and when I stopped i grew worse again. L sent for q bottle OF

Baird, Wash.
Evidence like the above is abundant showing that the
arrangements of the female organism which breed all kinds
of miserable feelings and which ordinary practice does not
cure, are the very disorders that give way to Lydia z.
Pinkhams Vegetable Compound.
Women who are afflicted with similar troubles, after
reading two such letters as the above, should be encouraged
to try this wonderfully helpful remedy.

Col. Roosevelt Attends Hollands
Big Flower Show
ADMlRES DUTCH PEOPLE
Says They Beat Americans in Their
Combination Of Hard Work and
Enjoyment

Amsterdam, May 2.--Mr Roosevelt
gave his entire time yesterday to an
inspection of the magnificent display
Of tulips which are now almost at
perfection, and of Dutch painting.
With the members of his family, the
American minister and Mrs. Beaupre,
Paxton Hibben, secretary OF the le-
CATION, and Foreign Minister Won
Swinderen, he motored from The
Hague to Harlem. On either side OF
the road were thousands OF acres of
blooming tulips, great masses OF col
or, and the air was heavy with per-
fume.
The national tulip show is now in
progress at HARLEM, and President
Krelage and the directors received
the party at the entrance.
In brief address NJ. Krclage des-
cribed the exhibition and the tulip
industry, pointing out that Holland
shipped to America 100000 pounds
Of bulbs yearly.
In replying. Colonel Roosevelt said
Americans always are especially
struck in Holland by the way in
which you. one of the hardest work
ing peoples OF all the peoples, con-
trive to add beauty and enjoyment TO
your lives. We In America have in
the past had to work so hard that we
have not always been able to pay as
much attention as you to the things
that tend to enjoyment, and, II one
or the other must be sacrificed, we
think that enjoyment should be sac
rificed to work; but more and more
we are growing to realize that beauty
and enjoyment can be combined with
work. Americans come here TO sec
how you are able to combine them

MILK WAR IN VERMONT
Farmers Organize to Keep Up Winter
Prices.

Brattleboro, May 2.-The milk war,
which is interesting to large number
of producers throughout New Eng
land, has spread to Windham county,
and the farmers of Brattleboro, Put
ney, Dummerston and Westminster,
and Chesterfield and Westmoreland,
N. H., have organized to protect their
interests toward keeping up the rates
paid by the large Boston contractors
and distributors of milk.
At present two cars are run daily
through this section, one being start
ed by Alden & Sons from Bellows
Falls, the other passing north from
Brattleboro, operated by the Boston
Dairy company. Together these cars
gather approximately 1880 quarts of
milk daily. A price OF 80 cents can
has been paid by the company for
milk, and proposed reduction in
this rate TO Is cents a car is the
cause OF the trouble.
When the ear routes were first
started large withdrawal in the
milk supply was made from the coun-
try creameries, this working to their
disadvantage to a great degree, but
should the distributors cut the rate
May |, viii find all of the southern
Vermont producers returning their
output to the creameries.
A local branch of the Boston Co
operative association has been formed
with Walter F. Walker OF Dummer.
ston as chairman and J. r. Ranney of
Westminster as clerk. This associa.
ton will act In conjunction with the
Boston association.
The farmers claim that % cents a
can OF eight and half quarts is
much too low, and they will not re
cede from the stand they have taken
as regards a continuance OF the win
ter price schedule of 80 cents. The
Alden company has built and stocked
several ice houses along their route
In anticipation of large and heavy
summer business and. according t
the statements of the farmers, Is will
ing to pay more than the 20 cents of
fered by the other Boston dlstribu
tors, providing they are able to dc
so.
