Greatest Remedy for
Woman's Ills.

New Haven, Conn.," For Two years
I suffered with q female weakness,
pains in my back and painful periods,
and was SO weak and tired that l was
not able to do my work. A friend told
me to use Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and it gave me great relief.
My pains left me and I am now able to
do my work and feel fine. You can pub
lishmy testimonial andif your Vegetable
Compound does others as much good as
it has me / will be very much pleased"
Mrs. CHARLES E. MORGAN, 81 Sea
Street, New Haven, Conn.
The reason Lydia z. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound is so successful is
because it contains the curative,
strengthening properties Of good old
fashioned roots and herbs, which act
directly on the female organism.
There ere women everywhere who
long for children in their homes yet are
denied this happiness on account of
some functional disorder which in most
cases would readily yield to lydia q.

Postmaster Gives Hints On How
To Send Christmas Parcels

Postmaster Stockton has in
structions from the department
at Washington, directing him to
call attention of the public to the
|curtailmentsof train service thru
out the country on account of, the
coal situation and to warn them
that unless they mail holiday par
cells early, delivery by Christmas
will be doubtful.
Postmaster Stockton also gave
out the following statement re-
speeding the packing necessary to
insure safe delivery of parcels
containing various fragile arti-
cles:
IF you are going to send
Christmas presents of a delicate
'or fragile nature, such as MILL
merry. TOYS. musical instruments,
clocks, watches, fans, fountain
pens, liquids, pipes, plumes, pot
tery, glass, records, ETC., pack
shem carefully between the sew
eral parts and cushion them
against damage by shock or jar.
IS "Your parcels are not carried
Ioy hand to. destination. They are
placed in pouches which are
sometimes thrown from trains
running 40 miles an hour, or
0lucked off crane while the train
IS going at the same rate of speed
It is your duty to protect your
parcel against such shocks. Wrap
chem so that If broken in transit
she parts will not escape from the
she parcel. A strong outer pack
ing is essential.
Liquids must be specially pack
ed against breakage, with suffi-
Gent absorbent material to abb
sorb the liquid, should the bottle
be brouken. Umbrellas, canes,
and similar articles should be re-
inforced by strips Of wood or
boards. Hats must be paced in
strong boxes; if in ordinary hat
boxes they must be Grated. All
such packages must be marked !:
.Fragile-This side up to insure
special handling"
Large firms that ship thousands
of parcels have studied this prob
lem scientifically. They declare
that the safety of a parcel against
DANCE in transit depends almost
entirely on how securely it is
packed and wrapped. Therefore
be careful how yousprepare your
parcel if you want It to reach its
destination in good Condition.
