1t has been said that there is now
hardly city, town or village in this
country wherein some woman does not
reside who has found health in that
good. old fashioned remedy, Lydia E.

Therefore. if you are suffering from
some ailment, and hardly know what
TO do for it, and have tried other rem
edies without help. ask your neighbor
If she has ever used Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. II she
herself has never had the need for 1t,
undoubtedly she knows others who
were just in your condition and who
have been restored to health by it's use.

BIG JUMP IN FARM WAGES.
Men Paid 2s Per Cent More for Hnr-

Topeka, Kan, Dec 2f.-An increase
of Is per cent in tho harvest wage paid
IN Kansas in 1919 over the pre-war wage
paid in 1913 is shown by a report Issued
yesterday by Edward G Paxton. heId
agent for the United States bureau of
crop estimates IN knnsas.
Harvest laborers received on the aver.
age S5.42 day and board in 1919. ms
compared with sfii in 1918 md e.
IN 1913. Wages for ordinary farm work
the report says, have risen from an
average Of 81 81 IN 1919 To s2.74 IN 1918
and 1911 in 1919, including board.
These estimates probably do not
reflect the actual increase in cost of farm
labor. the report continues, "as it enters
into cost Of production since 1913, due
to the fact that numbers of hours of labor
have been disreRarded 1t IL anfe to any
