It is true that nature and a woman's
work mas 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.

The Oldest Welshman In the world
10 Mr.. Thomas Morris, who lives at
Westernville, Neb. Although he is
now an American citizen, he was born
a subject Of George III. at the little
village of Berriew. Montgomeryshire,
on January 15, 1894. He is therefore
one hundred and twenty years old.
His father was an agricultural la
borer and died when the boy was three
years old. Morris was apprenticed to
a cobbler and followed his trade in
this country until 1871, when. at the
age of seventy-nine, he emigrated to
America.
The old man is very proud of the
fact that he has lived in three CEN
turtles. He remembers the union OF
Great Britain and Ireland, the assassi-
nation of President Lincoln and the
laying of the first Atlantic cable.
Morris can still walk with the aid
of stick and see with the aid of
spectacles, which he first purchased
after passing his hundredth birthday.
His hearing is good. and he enjoys a
cup Of tea or coffee with each neal

The attitude Of the Mexican rcprescn-

MANY LOCAL PROBLEMS

III this connection. the Mexican dele
gates brought up, us an illustration, the

the problem OF tho relation OF the state
governments TO the provisional Fed

that TO attempt to formulate a plan
dealing with provisional control OF
state governments would involve tho
ncdiators to the point'of tedium in tho
solution Of local problems peculiar to
each state.
The Mexican envoys hold that these
problems can best he worked out by

day that the mcdiutors also desire to
exclude as closely as consistent from
