 The most successful remedy in this country for the cure of all forms of female complaints is Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound.

Why don't you try it?

 squirm out of the hole I had pushed
 him into he said the railroads didn't have so much to do with the cost of grub and clothes but it had to be laid onto something and the railroads were the easiest because not very many peo- pie knew anything about railroad rates and the rest didn't care to find out.
 q guess I used up considerable time that evening but Pm glad of it because Pm convinced that we farmers along with a whole lot of other peo- pie have been setting up scarecrows just to knock them down. I calculate we could do a whole lot more by chopping down our own costs-mainly that of hauling-by good roads than harping all the time about railroad rates. Digging at the railroads isn't going to cut more than a couple of cents off a barrel of potatoes or a suit Sunday clothes because they don't get much more than that for hauling them clean across the country, and I guess the railroads are not in business for their health any more than we are"

A citizen of Shirley objects to the vote of the town authorizing an out of-town policeman, on the ground that there are six churches in the village, and that if it does not behave itself what it needs is missionary, and not an officer. Possibly if there were not more than two churches in the town there would be enough public spirit to make either missionaries or police men unnecessary.-Lowell Courier Citizen.
