SPRINGFIELD HOSPITALITY.
Experiences of Traveller on the Sleep
er from New York

In the following letter to the Spring
field Republican Frank A. Waugh of
Amherst. Mass, describes an experience
which doubtless has been shared by
everyone who has occasion TO travel
from New York city northward on the
train which leaves the metropolis at
HIS p. M:
Springfield is iustifablv proud of
the hospitality which it extends to Wis
itors. Yet possibly the entertainment
committee might do something further
for the regular Pullman guests.
The night train between the two
great metropoi of New York and
White River Junction is a special case
in point. We leave New York at
Ills and reach Springfield at 1888 in
the dull morning There we are sched-
uled TO wait until G.55. For the first
three quarters of an hour our sleeper

yank us all up to one end OF the
berths; then he Will butt US back to
the other end.

cool off. We need it. But we don t
need so much of II. There being no

SAVING More.

Someone giving advice to girls has
suggested that they talk less and say
more. No one expects q girls CONVEX
sation to be profound and philosoph-
zeal, but there is no doubt that more
thinking before speaking would make
the words of many girls better worth
hearing. The trouble is not that girls
lack intelligence, but that they are
rather lazy about using their brains

 We have been reading week altar week in the loca. press of Pine Bluff citizens who have been rid of dis dressing kidney and bladder troubles by Doan's Kidney Pills. and we have often wondered whether the sam. high opinion of this medicine is Q be found in our neighboring towns.

Ayers, Sherrill, Ark, says: II had symptoms of kidney trouble that gave me great annoyance. l tried different medicines, bat Doan's Kid ney Pills were the first one that helped me. After I had used three boxes I was in much better shape and am only too pleased to give Doan's Kidney Pills my endorsement.

WOMEN DOING MEN's WORK.

One of the most striking results of the great war in Europe, is the extent to which women are doing the work of men. Travellers to EnSland and France report that practically every
 able e-bodied man is in uniform and women by the thousands are engaged in doing mans work acting as con ductors and drivers on the cars and Going all sorts of heavy work besides.
 This shows unexpected possibilities in what has been nnistakenenly called the weaker sex. Women are subject to ailments which mem do not have, and waen so ailing become weak helpless sufferers. But remedy has been found. For forty years. Lydia E. Finkham's, Vegetable Compound l has leen making such women well land strong, aud able to do work as any other woman. Adyt.
