lNORAN' MOST
SUCCESSIVE
!. MEDICINE
Known All Over The World
Known Only For The
Good Ii Has Done.


We knowof no other medicine which
MAS been so successful in relieving the
suffering Of women, or received 30 many
genuine testimonials, as has Lydia E.
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 it has been doing among
suffering women for the past 30 years.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds Of
thousands Of letters from women seek
ing health, in which many openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
many of whom state that it has saved
them from surgical operations.
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is made from roots and herbs,
and is perfectly harmless.
Tho reason why it is SO successful is
because It contains ingredients which act
directly upon the female organism, re-
storing it TO healthy and normal activity.

Shoeinq Horses.

FROM Harper weekly.
Certain naturalists have ventured the
opinion that horses do not need shoe
ing under any circumstances. This
seems reasonable when we reflect a
it is only within a few centuries that
the practice Of shoeing has been fol-
lowed. But the horse was domesticated
earlier than we can learn from history,
and it is not likely that h roads were
any less steep or free from stones than
they are now. There are many coun-
tries in which horses and mules are
driven over the hardest and steepest
roads without ever wearing a shoe.
1t may be a question whether our
method of setting the shoe Is the very
best in the world. The blacksmith takes
the horses foot In his lap and. hold
ing 1t there by main strength, fits and
nails the shoe. This always seems q
tiresome operation for both beast and
workman. The want of a common
consciousness between the two renders
the weight and the support unsteady.
The same method Is not pursued the
world over. In Russia the smiths en-
ploy a method that is decidedly quaint.
A line Of seven or eight horses stands
outside the shop, each with a leg
strapped up to q post. in readiness
there to be operated upon. Each horse
is tied between four of these posts and
each Of these In rotation receives a
single shoe.

SOME REMINDERS
FOR MOVING TIME
Be Sure to Have Your New
Home Well Aired and
Spotless.
Mrs. F. H. Written. in the Women's

Mrs. F. II. Written, In the Womens
Home Companion.
Moving time Is usually synonymous
with confusion. This Is not only a
physical, but a mental confusion'
which makes It easy to overlook a
dozen little helpful regulations that
have to do with the change of address;
INTELLIGENT DRESSING.
Elegance in dress Is too often con-
founded with extravaganza IN dress.
That is one of the great big errors.
What is really needed TO make tne art
Of dressing bless him that looks and
her thai wears is intelligent dressing;
and that is a subject worth any wom-
ans study, not to the exclusion or all
else-any one subject, alone. will UNI
balance the mind-but nougn TO make
her a mistress In 1t, says Dress. If she
cannot be that. let her do as we DO
it In all other lines where we wish the
best results, apply to a specialist; Tor
dressing, after all, Is only another hu-
a problem.
the cutting off and transferring of the
telephone; heat, light and water ac-
counts and the preparation of the new
home.
Before the tumult Of moving Is fairly
under way, sit down and write post,
cards, giving your new address to all
firms where you have cnarge accounts;
the drygoods firms, the ice company,
the milkman, the butcher, the grocer.
the news dealer, the laundry, bakery,
druggist, hardware dealer and so
forth. Notify your bank n the life,
accident. fire and burglar insurance
companies. The accident insurance
company will supply a new identifica-
ton card. The fire and burglar In
surance companies will make out new
policies to cover the things In the new
house. The postofice supplies a print
ed form for you to fill out. giving your
change of address. Then there are the
zines to which you subscribe.
Send postcards to their publishers. CIV
ing them the new address.
Your friends should know where you
are to be found. Don't leave the tell
ing them to a chance encounter, when
no one has pencil and paper to note
the new address.
It is we'll to fumigate a house before
moving in, in case former tenants may
have had contagious diseases. Be sure
to have your new home aired and heat
ed before you i've in It. Moving time
is too often a cold-taking time. This
Is because the new house has often
been either unoccupied or shut up. 1t
needs air, sunshine, fires. Don't move
into a cold, damp, sunless house.
If there are reaches in the house, you
may be able to get rid OF them by SIM
ple methods, such as sprinkling roach
food in cracks and keeping all food
covered. But If the reaches do not dis
appear. there Is a sure wav OF COM
pietely Kidding the house Of them. They

usual on flower-decorated cards, and at
the end Of the game the vases and iow-

THE OLE PLEA
He Didn't Know Il Was Loaded"

The coffee drinker seldom realizes
that coffee contains the drug, caffeine,
a sever poison to the heart and
nerves, causing many forms of dis
ease, noticcably dyspepsia.
Il was a lover OF coffee and used it
Aor many years, and did not realize the
bad effects l was suffering from its
use. (Tea is just as injurious as cof-
fee because it, too, contains caffeine,
the same drug found in coffee.)

ton, l Gid not attribute the trouble

arose from other causes. With these
attacks l had sick headache, nausea

all my troubles came from indiges-
ton, but was not informed what
caused the Indigestion. l kept on with
the coffee. and kept on with the trou-
bles, too, and my Ease continued to
grow worse from year to year until It
developed into chronic diarrhea, nau.

could keep nothing on my stomach and
became a mere shadow, reduced from
159 to 1928 pounds.
"A specialist informed me I had a
very severe case Of catarrh of the

Tho Gallant Rooster.

In the current issue Of Farm and
Fireside, a professional chicken grower
says that male chickens are often SO
gallant that they give their portion Of
the food to the females and get into
poor flesh. When this Is observed to
be the case, little boxes or hoppers Of
mixed grain and dry mash should be
hung upon the walls Of the chicken
house, high enough to be out of reach
Of the females but readily reached by
the males. With these arrangements
The rooster il enabled to feed himself
without feeling under obligations to
turn his food over to the lady chickens.

The skeleton of a mammoth discov-

length. The head Is well preserved,
with finely enameled molars Of the
true Siberian type. thus furnishing one
more proof that the whole country was
once a land Of Ice and snow. At a din
ner given recently on a sand bar in the
Danube an attempt vas made to con-
vey an idea Of the food consumed by
man in the time of the mammoth. Cab
bage soup cooked over hot stones,
horse ham, roast pork with boiled mil
let, and turnips cooked In hot ashes
composed the bill Of fare. The dessert
was dried pears and honey.
