hams Vegetable Compound / improved
rapidly and today am well woman. /
cannot tell you how happy feel and 1
cannot say too much for your Compound.
Would not be without it in the house if
it cost three times the amount. Mrs.
CHAs. CHAPMAN, r. F. d. No. Z, Belle
vue, Ohio.
Because your case is difficult one,
doctors having done you no good, do not
continue to suffer without giving Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a
trial. 1t surely has remedied many
cases of female ills, such as infamma-
ton, liberation, displacements, tumors,
irregularities, periodic pains, backa che,
and it may be exactly what you need.
The Pinkham record is proud and
peerless one. 1t is record of constant
victory over the obstinate ills of woman
ills that deal out despair. 1t is an es-
tablished fact that Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has restored
health to thousands of such suffering
women. Why don't you try it If you
need such a medicine?

he" and there are not 500 Catholics
there. | doubt if more th4n one-thirc

Gen. Smiths opening statement T.
the committee, which led to the
controversy between himself and Gen.
Wadsworth, was as follows:
Il would like TO say a few words in
regard To the request for = chapel. [
want to say am appealing now in be-
half Of 500 members Who desire that
the Catholic members Of the Togus
Trench lave a proper place to worship
in. The only place they have is a
room in small chapel that was built
thirty odd years ago, which viii only
seat about 80, They congreeate there
on Sundays 10 worship. and there is
not room enough for them, and even at
funerals, there is not enough room for
them to come in and attend the funer-
ais ot their own comrades. When | am
at the branch attend the Catholic ser
service, too although | am not Cath
clio. The appeal | make for them is for
their comfort in their religious worship
Ne have on file here letter from the
bishop of the diocese. who has been
down there and looked the ground over
and sent in this letter last year urging
this appropriation.
we have on file a letter from our
Catholic cha plain who has been there
Il great fnany years, urging il in the
interest OF morality, religion, and tenn
perance. They can not have proper
hours for worship with the adjustment
they make there now. The Mattresses
and others there who are Catholics can
not seem to make arrangements to
worship with the others. our branch is
the only branch that has not a Catholic
chapel by itself with one other eXcep
ton, the Northwestern Branch, which
has suitab bic place thai they are all
satisfied with. Furthermore, We only
ask for $500, and | have brought with
me from the architect i plan for this
chapel which will cost $4,000 and be
a credit to the country and to our
home. The bishop of the diocese, with
our chaplain. agrees 10 furnish $4,000 Of
that amount, which will make $l2, 800
and I viii personally agree that the
other 81. 560 is Forthcoming.

Written for Kennebee Journal
Some say the coal investigation

Proven the weakest since Creation
But that's their imagination.
Zip, Zip! Bang

For walls and anguish signing,
For capitalists shying,
Maine never saw the beat.

With feelings shocked and pity
Tell the writer of this ditty
That coal men dodge the truth.
But as sometimes one sees rare gems
Flash and scintilate in diadems:
SO some scorn the falsehood strategem,
Some coal men state the facts.
Some of them showed profits bigger
Than for other business digger.

To stop grating hard pushed labor;

hair try our remedy at our risk.
Professor Unna, Of Germany. and
DR.. Sahouraud, the great French
Dermatologist, claim that a mi
crobe causes badness, and their
theory has been verified by eminent
scientists. This microbe destroys
the hair follicles, in time causing tho
scalp pores to close and the scalp to
become shiny. Then, it is believed
nothing will revive the growth. Ii
treated before this occurs, badness
may be overcome.
We know of nothing that has
given such universal satisfaction In
treating the scalp and hair as Rexall
49, Hair Tonic. 1t has been de-
signed after long study to overcome
the cause of falling hair as discovered
by Prof. Unna, DR.. Sabouraud and
other scalp and hair specialists, and
we believe it will do more than any,
thing else can to remove dapdruH and
stop falling hair and if any human
agency can promote new growth
OF hair it will do that, too.
We want you to make us prove it.
We will pay for months treatment
of Rexall "93' Hair Tonic used dur
ing trial, if you will use it &C
cording to directions, and are not
thoroughly satisfied. When we will
do this, you surely should not hesitate
to at least try it.
Start the treatment today. Your
mere request will get your money

Walnuts As Hen Food.

\ lady who lives near St Clair
and is a successful poultry raiser
says that she secures winter
eggs by feeding her chickens
black valnuts. Their farm has
many walnut trees and they
crack up sometimes a bushel at
a time for the hens which indus
trously pick out every kernel,
thus securing the rich. oily food
needed at this season and getting
the exercise of picking among
the shells. Walnuts are very
plentiful, and if they are such a
valuable poultry food none should
be allowed to 60 to waste on the
ground. The rich nut meats
serve the same purpose as ami
mai meats for the hens. Proper
food and a good warm place tc
stay are the approved require
ments for securing eggs.-St
