The most successful remedy in this
country for the cure of all forms of
female complaints is Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
stood the test of years and to-day is
more widely and successfully used than
any other female remedy. 1t has cured
thousands of women who have been
troubled with displacements, infam-
nation, liberation, fbroid tumors IT.
regularities, periodic pains, backache,
that bearing-down feeling, fiatulency,
indigestion, and nervous prostration,
after all other means had failed.
If you are suffering from any of these
ailments, don't give up hope until you
have given Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound trial.
If you would like special advice
write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn,
Mass, for it. She has guided
thousands to health, free of

Germany adopted it as her own.
No cats life was ever sacrificed to

enough, the supplying of that materi

Don't f1atter yourself, if you are a
cigarette smoker and roll your own
smokes, that the dainty bits of paper
you use are made of rice and are
therefore harmless. They may be
harmless, but they are not made of
rice. nor from the rice plant.
Turkeys, as we have all been in
formed many times, are called tur-
keys because they came from Turkey,
and it is to be hoped that they did
so as soon as they could; but they
went first thither from America. Just
why the pioneer settlers of this coun-
try called the great bird turkey is a
mystery and incidentally, it might
be put on record that the Turkish
bath never came from Turkey, either,
and Judging from the observ tions of
travellers in that country, it has never
yet got as far as Turkey.

any other calling but his own would
be against his caste, and there all ar.

calling as we'll as the creed.
1.-THE requirements and restrictions
Of caste are innumerable. Many Of
them arbitrary, inconsistent and even
contradictory. The principal laws d..
rect that individuals shall marry only
those Of their own caste. eat with
their own caste. and of food cooked by
a caste-fellow or a Brahman; that no
superior shall allow an inferior to
touch his cooked food, or even enter
the room In which it Is being cooked:
but articles of a dry nature, such AZ
grain and rice, are exempt from de-
Element by touch SO long as they re-
