herself and friends. Later she took
a course in manual training to be-
come more expert.
When she came to Boston she
opened shop. She created gTOtesque
and ludicrous wood creatures. Dachs-
hunds with their tongues hanging
cut; open-jawed crocodiles; clowns,
rocking horses, sea lions and other
animals in queer forms come from
her shop.
Here is where Mrs. Weniger is
really a Santa Claus: Before she lets
single toy out of her shop she re-
peats a prayer over it!
And that makes the toy real live
animal, not just a piece of wood, says
Mrs. Santa Claus.
Little blue-eyed Gretchen taught
me the secret, the incarnation, you
must say over the dolls and other
toys before they are real live things"
says Mrs. Weniger. Before this, they
are just pieces of wood"
But the prayer is Mrs. Weniger's
secret. If that were known by 9TH
ers, she would not be a woman Santa
Claus, she contends.

GOOD WORK
FOR SICK WOMEN
The Woman's Medicine Has
Proved Its Worth.

When Lydia E. Pinkham's remedies
were first introduced, their curative
powers We're doubted and had to be
proved. But the proof came, and grad
ually the use of them spread over the
whole country. Now that hundreds of
thousands of women have experienced
the most beneficial effects from the use
of these medicines, their value has be-
come generally recognized, and Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is
the standard medicine for women.
The following letter is only one Of
the thousands on file in the Pinkham
Office, at Lynn, Mass, proving that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is an article of great merit as
shown by the results it produces.
Anamosa, Iowa. -" When began TAX
ing Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound l suffered with a displacement,
and my system was in a general rum
down condition. Iwould have the head
ache for a week and my back would
ache so bad when l would bend down
could hardly straighten up. My sister
was sick in bed for two months and
doctored, but did not get any relief.
She saw an advertisement of your med
cine and tried it and got better. She
told me what it had done for her, and
when / had taken only two bottles of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound my head began to feel better. I
continued its use and now l don't have
any of those troubles. - Mrs. L. J.

clared

of the average business man of fifty
years. His eyesight is so perfect that
he reads the finest Of neWsprint read
ily without glasses. So steady are
mis- nerves that his penmanship is al
most flawless.
Born, on farm four miles north Of
the city and reared at Dublin, Mr..
Stratton recalls many incidents Of

ON ELECTION BOARD

Progressives will not be represent

ible that they will not be represented
on two thirds of the boards.

number of votes in the 1914 election,
they are not provided for in the regis

Of the inspectors appointed for the
registration boards. They can claim
under law no further representation.
Each board has two clerks but un-
der the law passed in 1915 these
clerks must be appointed by the in
spectors upon the recommendation of
the county charmen of the two polit-
ical parties receiving the second and
third highest votes at the last election.
The Democrats received the second
highest number of votes at the 1914
election while the Republicans stood
third
L. S. Bowman, county chairman for
the Republicans, said Saturday that it
was probably the intent of the law
that where a Republican or Demo
cratic inspector served, to have a Pro
gressive as one of the clerks. The
