We know Of no other medicine which
has been SO successful in relieving the
suffering Of women, or received so many
genuine testimonials, as has Lydia Il.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In nearly every community YOU will
find women who have been restored to
health by this famous medicine. Almost
every woman you meet knows OF the
great good il has been doing among
suffering women for the past 50 years.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn.
Mass, are files containing hundreds OF
thousands OF letters from women seek

over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia

Bender. like Maple. a union man,
has been held In jail since last May,
and now goes free without having
been tried because. after nine months
OF effort, a deputy district attorney
has found that he cannot dig up
proof OF guilt
And like Maple. Bender has lost
nine months out Of his life; nine
months he can never recover.

Shame!

It's the shame of every city and
town In the United States that the
Panama canal zone, once one OF the
worlds pest-holes, Is now a safer>
place TO live in than the United
States.
In the zone science has had free
hand. Sanitation Is rigid there.
In the states city health depart
ments have TO fight continually TO Sc
cure even the inadequate appropria.
tions that are doled out To them. Here
sanitation has hardly begun.
And so the once disease-scourgcd
canal zone shows record like this:
Last October there were .at work
on the canal 81 ,496 colored men and
1876 whites. Thirty-three colored
men died OF disease and six OF vio-
lence. Five whites died OF disease
and two OF violence. -.
The death rate for colored men
was f2.4S per year per thousand: for
whites 6.S2: for both 11.3.
The death rate for all the United
States for 1910 was l6.1.
Thus the zone, naturally an ur.
healthful place. is decidedly more
healthfuI today than these naturally
healthful states.
The contrast becomes more start.
ling when figures relative to the
Americans OF the zone are taken.
These figures include women and chill
dren as we'll as men.
There were 1889 Americans In the
zone during last October. or these
two died.
That's an annual death rate OF 2.03
per thousand
In 1910 the death rate for West
Orange. N. j., the lowest in all this
country, was S.5

Just What He Wanted

A young minister settled over a
small country parish was instructed by
his parishioners to procure a piano for
their use. He did 50, telling the dealer
to charge the bill for rental to the
secretary or the parish. When the
bill amounted to $25. the society being
unable TO pay IL, as we'll as the salary
OF the pastor, the music dealer dunned
the minister for the money, telling him
that he assumed the responsibility.
The latter replied that he never as
sumed the responsibility OF another,
having all he could do TO pay his own
bills, whsreupon the dealer threatened
TO sue him.
A short time after our friend re-
ceived letter from New York col
lection agency. to which. as well as
several following, he paid no attention
until the following short but definite
letter came:
Dear Sir--Unless you remit at once
We shall publish you all over the coun-
try as a delinquent debtor"
TO which lie replied:
"Gentlemen-Ever since entered
the ministry have been struggling for

Why Success Is Good

A gneat many OF US make the mis-
take OF regarding success as a purely
personal matter. II We succeed We
are willing to admit that success Is
a blessing. II we stand at one side
and watch the success OF other peo-
pie. we recognize the desirability or
the triumph, and wish that We, 100,
might be correspondingly blessed, yet
how many OF us realize that the real
value OF success is due, not so much
TO its effect upon the individual, but
to its influence upon the community.
Lincoln recognized this truth, and
wrote 1t into the first message TO
congress in words that will not be
forgotten for many day. indeed.
there Is sound reason to believe that
future generations will honor Lincoln
for his wisdom TO a far greater de-
gree than we do today. and one or
the pearls that will live is the SEN
tence day. and one OF the pearls tnat
will live is the sentence in which ne
asserts the real value or material
success.
THAT some should be rich he
said. shows that others may become
rich. and hence is just encourage
ment 10 industry and enterprise"
This Is the whole philosophy OF
success in a nutshell. 1t Is what 9TH
ers have accomplished that points a
way for us TO go. Most OF US need
pacemaker. Left TO ourselves, and
with no triumph OF experience 10
guide us, we shouid-many or US
make pretty poor progress. Forum
ately. however, We have only 10 keep
our eyes open to find all the inspira-
ton OF example that We can possibly
need. The pages OF history furnish
countless cases of =men=who have lift
ed themselves out OF conditions that
were far more hopeless than any
which we ever have known, while. all
about us, the world is filed with more
intimate practical illustra-
tions OF the fact that other men are
still doing what the men OF the past
have done In word. we see that
the possibility OF success Is just as
| real today as II has been at any time
I'm the worlds history.
There are people who do not hold
| this opinion-peopie whose unfortan'
ate experiences have tended TO tinge
their mental makeup with pessimism
and who see hope fading as they
peer into the future. To such persons
we can make but one reply: Life Is

Fertilizers for Corn.
Written for the Baxter News by Prof.
Taylor Of the Deere Experiment Farm,
Moline, III.

In order to secure a maximum
crop of corn, the farmer should
practice rotation, using a legume
as one of the crops in the rota-
ton. Of all legumes, clover is
the most desirable if the second
crop is turned under. Clover
gathers nitrogen from the air.
Clover furnishes organic matter
and clover roots grow deep, plac-
ing the soil in a most excellent
physical condition.
The value of barnyard manure
cannot be overestimated by the
corn grower. It furnishes plant
food and humus. It regulates,
in a measure, the temperature of
the soil and increases its ability
to absorb moisture.
Manure applied as a top dress.

and thoroughly disced in, gives
by far the best results.

Colman and Collier are good. If
possible get seed from some man
who has developed special syrup
producing strains. Ordinary
sorghum contains only ten per
cent of sugar, while that which
has been specially developed will
contain as much as 20 per cent.
Sorghum grown for syrup is not
seeded broadcast, but is planted
in rows and given cultivation
like corn. Ittakes about q pound
and a half of seed to the acre.
The rows are placed three to
four feet apart and the kernels
are dropped every three or four
inches in the row, the object be-
ing to get one plant every five or
six inches. Sorghum must have
a fine seed bed, for during the
first three or four weeks it grows
very slowly. Cultivation is given
as for corn, but greater pains
should be taken to keep down all
weeds. Wallace's Farmer.
