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,
R.F D., Graniteville, vt.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine 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 it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tuRlors, 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. Barclaysays, it is worth noun
fains of gold " to suffering women.

There was anxiety in the voice, and
more anxious still was Sister Marga-

from the gate into a quiet recess OF

The Rocket Signal.
Rosalind was cutting sweet peas IN
the garden where they climbed high
upon a f1my net, humming softly to
herself
"A penny for your thoughts!" 1
challenged.
She shipped an imaginary flower
from the air in my direction.

walked along together.

Critics and Managers Clash.

Between the whole press of Copen-
hagen and all the theatrical managers
a curious contest has started because
the managers want to compel the
critics to write only favorable notices.
The contest began when the board of
theatrical managers forbade the ad-
mission of one critic representing a
special theatrical paper.

MILK AND CREAM IN
HOTELS AND RESTA URANTS

The Nevada agricultural expert
ment station has issued the fol-
lowing bulletin:
In our investigation of the milk
supply in various parts of the state
we find that it is common Gus
tom with keepers of hotels, restau-
rants and lunch rooms, to serve to
their customers milk that is adul-
terated by watering, or taking a
part of the cream from the same.
We also find that many restaurant
keepers order separated milk from
wholesale milk dealers for cooking
purposes, but it is quite evident
that a portion is used for the table
or lunch counter. The practice is
fraud perpetrated on the travel
ing public, and others taking meals
in public places, and the effect OF
selling such impure milk or milk
of such inferior quality, must be to
create a prejudice against this most
useful and wholesome of all foods
and is violation OF the state food
law, which prohibits the extraction
in whole or in part. of any valuable
ingredient from any article of food
and provides a penalty of not less
than $25 or more than $50, or i'm
prisonment in the county jail for {
period not exceeding six months, OF
both such fine and Imprisonment IL
the discretion OF the court, for VIC
lation of the statute.
1t is thus clearly seen that NJ
one may sell milk from which all o.

taken, unless he notifies the pun
chaser that the same is skim mill
Keepers of hotels, restaurant
and lunch counters where milk
served, are as clearly sellers OF mil
as are those who sell milk from

ment will report to the board

cial Of his native county. His integrity
of character. his SpOtlcSS life, his sound
Judgment, his conservative yet well
grounded conviction of right and
wrong. together with his genial ana
lovable nature. won for him the conf
dence and esteem of his fellowmen,
and all the people were his friends.
Therefore. be it resolved:

loss of our friend We bow To the Prov
fdencc which has seen fit to remove
him from our midst.

sympathy to his bereaved family. and
