It's too soon to state with any certainty
Just what the yield Of wheat will be from
Delaware wheat fields this year, but from
reports received, the yield per acre will
be below that of last year. On the other
hand the acreage was larger, and it must
fall below the yield of 1914, which was
above the average.

praise your medicine too highly. Mrs.
AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa.
It is true that nature and 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
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more eficacious 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.

ing be commanded forth OF this isle
with as much speed as may be-" The
Aforementioned law was the result of q

PASSES RIGID TEST
400 Tons Of sand on Rail FaiIs "a
Upset Big steamer.

CHICAGO. Aug. 5.-One Of the severes:
stability tests ever applied to lake
vessel was successfully passed to-day by
the whaleback Christopher Columbus.
The vessel was taken outside the Chi
cago River harbor carrying 400 tons Of
sand In 100 pound sacks. At the start
these sacks were evenly distributed ana
II left the harbor on an even keel.
When the steamer had passed the last
breakwater all water ballast tanks were
emptied and a special crew OF 100 deck
hands was ordered to place every sack
against the starboard rail over all three
Of the upper decks.
The total list of the ship. 7s7.500
pounds OF sand packed against the star
board rail. was II degrees. The vessel
was then righted and placed on an even
keel by flling the port water ballast
tanks and without shifting the sand
More than 200 persons witnessed the
test from the steamship Virginia. Fed
erai and city officials also watched the
test
The weight OF the sand, without the
extra weight in moisture. is equal to
1857 passengers weighing ls0 pounds
each. The number allowed by the Gov
ernment license is 3.73S. SO that the test
is equal to an excess OF $50 passengers
