bors say look younger now than I did fifteen years ago. "- Mrs. SARAH R. WHATLEY, Athens, Texas, R. F. D. No. 8. Box 92.
 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 B. 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. Pirkham's Vegetable Compound, many of them state that it has saved them from surgical operations.
 If you want special advice write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. (cOnfl- dentiaD Lynn, Mass. Your letter will be opened, read and answered by a woman and held in strict confidence.

CHANGED MIND ABOUT MULE
Firmness Vanished Soon After the Animal Got Busy.

There Is a lieutenant in an Ohio regiment who believed that mules were much maligned and that if well treated a mule would behave accord ingly. In his own company was a mule with bad reputation, and the lieutenant undertook to tame him.
 T will show you how this mule should be treated,' said the officer.
 So he had the mule brought in front of his tent, saddled him without re- sistance or protest, and patted him kindly on the neck.
 He needs kind but firm treatment" :" said the lieutenant
 Then he mounted the mule, which walked six steps, danced three steps, executed an original hop, step and jump with each leg, and then projected the lieutenant into the air and into a thorny bush.
 Catch the brute and kill him." said the lieutenant, as the hospital corps assisted him to his tent. The men caught the mule, but did not kill him. He was just as good as any other mule.

Wouldn't Take Chances

A Chicago lawyer found a new sort of therapeutic treatment. His in- structor told him that if he retired into the silence, breathed rhythmetic- ally, and said certain words he would be able to cast off all his bodily ail- m ents. He tried it and it worked. Then his three-year-old child got measles and he worked it on him. He was all puffed up. Later his prize set ter contracted the mango. He sum- moned a veterinary Then a friend expostulated.

Great Defense

The great advocate-let us call him Mir. McSweeney-was defending a man in a murder case. The case looked hopeless, and McSweeney sub mitted no evidence for the defense. So the public prosecutor, believing that conviction was assured, ended with just a few perfunctory re- marks
 Then, in quiet, conversational tone, the famous McSweeney began to talk to the jury. He made no men, tion of the murder. He just described in vivid colors a pretty country cot -tage rung with honeysuckle, a young wife preparing supper, and the rosy youngsters waiting at the gate to greet their father on his return home for the evening meal. Suddenly Mo Sweeney stopped. He drew himself up to his full height. Then, striking the table with his fist, he cried in voice that thrilled every bosom:
 Gentlemen, you must send him back home to them!"
 A red-faced juror choked and burt ed out: By George, sir, we'll do it" London Opinion.

 A little later this lad was before me and I said to him:

Charitable.

Upton Sinclair said the other day in New York:
 Everybody is jumping up and say ing that poverty bitter and grinding poverty, has nothing to do with mak- ing girls go wrong. Well, for my part, I think that such assertions are too charitable toward modern social con- ditions, too charitable toward modern employers.
 Such charity reminds me of the young lady who was asked:
 Did pretty Tottie Footlites marry the septuagenarian Gobsa Golde for love or money?'
 For both the young lady an- swered charitably, and she added, 'Tottie loves money, you know"

 One week later he was detected in some particularly fragrant act, and his father, to punish him, forbade him to ride his bicycle for a whole week
 Robbie promised, but as his father neared home next day he saw his son Whirling along on his wheel.

VANISHED Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof- fee, even after they know it is doing them harm, is puzzler But it is an easy matter to give it up for good, when Postum is properly made and -useA instead. A girl writes:
 "MNtber had been suffering with nervouA headaches for seven weary years, h ht kept on drinking coffee.
 "OneYday I asked her why she did not give up coffee, as cousin of mine had done who had taken to Postum. But Mother was such slave to coffee she thought it would be terrible to give it up.
 Finally, one day, she made the change to Postum, and quickly her headaches disappeared. One morning while she was drinking Postum so freely and with such relish, 1 asked for taste.
 That started me on Postum and now drink it more freely than I did coffee, which never comes into our house now"
 Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. Write for booklet, The Road to Wellville."
 Postum comes in two forms.
 Regular Postum (must be boiled.)
 Instant Postum doesn't require boil ing, but is prepared instantly by stir ring level teaspoonful in an ordinary cup of hot water, which makes it right for most persons.
 A big cup requires more and some people who like strong things put in a heaping spoonful and temper it with a large supply of cream.
 Experiment until you know the amount that pleases your palate and have it served that way in the future There's . Reason" for Postum.

Little Katherine is a believer in the outdoor life, and she does not confine her fresh-air activities to her own backyard. Her mother recently had a load of sand placed in the rear of the yard, thinking Katherine would devote her time to playing in the sand. She did play there part of the time, and yard.
 Katherine" said her mother, exas- perated because her daughter was not staying in the yard, don't you know I had that man bring this sand here to keep you in the yard?"

the recommendations of the Lincoln

as profting by the experience OF
last year, when drags were first
used as a means of maintaining the
dirt roads, the county commission
ers have ordered more steel drags,
and this season there will be ~ OF
the implements i'll use.
By the use of the drag it has
been found that the dirt roads,
previously graded, may be kept IN
smooth surface cheaper than by
the use of other road machinery:
The commissioners have arranged
that each road foreman having a
drag in his possession shall keep in
shape with it about five miles OF
road. The cost of dragging for the
season has been found to be close
to s. a mile County Engineer j..
l.. Thayer has distributed among
the foremen pamphlet published
by the government, which relates
to the proper us of the drag.
