A SUCCESSFUL REMEDY

All things succeed which really de-
serve to-which fill real need,
which prove their worth. The fact
that the famous old root and herb
remedy Lydia r. Pinlhams Vege-
table Compound, has for three gem
erations been relieving women of
this country from the worst forms of
female ills and has won such a strong
place in our American homes proves
IT'S merit beyond the question of a
doubt. II will well pay any woman
who Is In need Of such a medicine to
try it.-Adv.

Ocean Salt,

The oceans occupy three fourths of
the surface Of the earth. A mile
down in tie sea the water has a
pressure Of 4 ton to every square
inch. If a box six feet deep was
hlied with sea water, which was then
allowed to evaporate, there would oe
two inches of salt left in the bottom
OF the box. Taking the average
depth Of the ocean to be three miles.
there would be layer Of salt 440
rect thick covering the bottom, III
case all the water should evaporate.
In many places, especially in the far
North, the water freezes from The
bottom upwards.
