1t is true that nature and woman's
work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs OF the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health - many of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.

had happened to him. He then became
unconscious. The police ambulance was
summoned and Mr. Girard was taken to
the Mary Fletcher hospital He revived,
while on the way, for a time and asked
If he was near home, then became un-
conscious again. His wife was summoned
and he was able to recognize her before
he died, which was about 1:30 o'clock.
Death was due to internal injuries there
being conclusion of the blood vessels,
which caused the patient to bleed to
death.

The declaration alleges that the de-
PENDANTS were the owners of the Eureka
vending machine and that they conspired
to cheat and did cheat the plaintiff. The
plot Of the conspiracy, as alleged in the
complaint, was that the defendant Alex
ander should pretend that the patent be-
longed to the others, that as travelling
salesman for them he knew more than
they did about the value Of the patent
and could buy it Of them for much less
than it was worth. Alexander was to
pretend that he was buying the patent
of the other defendants for $1,000, putting
in one-half himself while the plaintiff
put in the other half. The papers allege
that the plaintiff put in his $3.50, that
Alexander put in nothing. and that all
the defendants divided the $3.50 among
themselves.

The country through which the Rus
slams are passing is for the most part
nat, belonging to the great plain OF
northern Europe. The Russians are
advancing into the regions in which are
many places famous from the days Of
the Napoleonic wars. Thirty-three
miles from Insterburg is Tilsit. on the
river Niemen, where Napoleon, In 1907.
signed the treaty with Alexander OF
Russia and Frederick william III. OF
Prussia, by which Russia was permit

General Rennenkampf, who is leading
the great Russian army into East
Prussia, was a cavalry general during
the Russo-Japanese war. He took a
conspicuous part in the battle of Muk-
den and in other great conflicts and
came out OF the war with great repu-
tation, although he was charged with
needIessly sacrificing large bodies OF
troops In order to achieve brilliant ex-
ploits.
Rennenkampf was a severe disciple
marian He broke the rule that none
OF noble birth are to be iogged by as
suming the responsibility for the pun
ishment of a young noble who was
whipped for cowardice. Rennenkampt
teIegraphed the details to the father of

Pigeons With Time Cameras Aid Spies

- -OREwARNED Is forearmedI
l. In their efforts to get line
on what the enemy was doing
II all the forces engaged IN the
European war had q most elaborate
spy system. One Of the most unique
and valuable contrivances to, get ad-
vance Information OF the enemies
movements was used by = French spy.
This SPY attached a small camera to
the breast Of a carrier pigeon The
pigeon was trained to ny q certain dis
tancs and then back to its master, the
spy. There was a time attachment to
the camera which caused 1t to click and
take pictures Of the land below after
the bird had been in the air q certain
time. Some wonderful pictures were
taken by this bird on the wing. One
day a German army oficer who no
ticed the pigeon several times became
suspicious and a number Of guns were
trained on It When the pigeon few
back to its master that day II was
wounded. The pigeons spying days
were over. There are said to be sew
eral OF those spying pigeons owned by
Frenchmen-
Posters were made silent spies for
the German army. It was discovered
that thousands OF these flaming circu-
lars advertising a soup manufactured
by a German firm, which dotted the
French countryside Just as those Of a
certain brand Of pickles do the fields
along the railroads In the United
States were intended to be Of use to
an invading German army by giving
HWaAr 80 @h N0W
through the varying sizes Of the posters
and the colors employed.
For instance, a military commander
seeing square yellow poster would
know that food Is abundant around
here II he saw a round red poster
he would. deduce the fact that -the
ground is mined around here"
Every geometrical figure and all the
plain colors were utilized In this
scheme to give military information by
means Of innocent looking advertise
ments placed in strategical positions
by German bin posters.
Flowers and other decorations and
animal forms were used on the posters.
One Of the signs conveying informa-
tion to an invader was a faring repre-
sentation Of the stars and stripes.
There are certainly more spies IN
Germany and France than any other
countries in the world. and scarcely
month passes but some spy Is taken red
handed on the Franco German frontier.
Germany spies on France. and France
spies on Germany, and the spy work Of
the frontier has become so systematic
that at the present time It Is consid-
cred quite business
There Il school for spies in France,
and the masters are expert hands at
spying. II a French spy II sent into
Germany he b given miniature maps
of German fortiicetions and the like.
These he has to learn by heart, for the
French government wisely refuses to
allow spy to carry such incriminating
documents about with him. The spy
y supplied with German notes and
