AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa.
It 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' 8
Vegetable Compound is recognize
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.

DEEP MYSTERY OF THE Law
Man Who Won't Support Family la
Imprisoned and Wife Really
i Pays Penalty.

Mysteries, far beyond the compre-
hension of the average mortal, are
constantly revealed in the law and its
administration. The other day q
much-harassed woman appeared in a
Boston court and complained to the
Judge that her husband refused to
support their two small children. She
could get along without him. she said.
but she demanded that he be COM
PEELED to go to work and help support
his offspring. Her story was oorrobo-
rated by witnesses.
So the Judge found the man guilty
and sentenced him to one year In the
house Of correction.
Here was what seems on the sur
face to be an e''y problem. A hus
band and father, either through disin
clination or through inability to find
work, is brought into court on 6
charge of non-support- In order tt
relieve the situation, he is sent to the
house Of correction, where he will bt
kept at work. That he is not able
to send his pay envelope home to hi!
family every Saturday night-becaust
there is no pay envelope in sucl
cases-is, in tn. eye of the law, ,
minor circumstance. The main thin,
seems to be that the man has beel
guilty of an offense and that he i
punished for 1t. He is punished, bu
1t Is his wife and his two helpless
children who pay the penalty.
The law may be ironical, but it .ha
no sense of humor. you have bee
found guilty Of not supporting you
children" 1t says, "and therefore
will send you where you cannot SUI
port them"

Why EIenhants Fear Mice.

1t seems incredible that SO small and
harmless an animal as mouse is able
to brighten an elephant almost out Of
it's senses One little mouse in the
hay on which they are feeding will
stampede an entire herd. In their ma
tive land there are little animals,
known as chacanas, which feed on a
small. sour berry of which elephants
are very fond. They live in settle
ments. something after the manner of
prairie dogs. under the berry bushes.
When feeding. the elephants trample
the little towns, and the chacanas, in
their fright. run up the tubes of the
elephants trunks. Their long, sharp
claws catch in the flesh. and they can
not be elected. The more violently the
monster blows through its coiled trunk
the more firmly the hooked claws of
the little animal become imbedded in
the flesh. Inflammation and death are
the result In captivity the elephants
think they are in danger Of the deadly
chacanas when they see a mouse
