Women "CuItivate" Mustache.

The Anus, the Celtic" race of
Japan, live in the island of Ieddo.
The most noticeable popularity about
Ainu women is that they have tat
tOoed on their upper and lower lips
what resembles mustache. The
women are not considered attractive
without this decoration, and their
matrimonial prospects are quite in
jured unless it appears.
The mustache is begun when the
girl is quite child, until 1t extends
partly across the cheek, the material
used being the SCOT from burning
birch bark. The face Is cut and the
black rubbed in. Afterwards 1t is
washed in a solution Of ash bark
liquor to fix the color.
The Ainu women are said TO be
usually finely formed, straight and
we'll developed. with small hands and
feet. Their eyes are beautiful soft
brown, their hair black and most lux
uriant and their complexion olive,
with often a deep, rich color in their
cheeks.

THE MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination OF
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment OF
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

Mr. Bradshaw has represented
Rankin and Smith counties in the
state senate for two terms, being
elected both times by handsome
majorities. As stated in his card,
he had no idea whatever. of ever
again entering politics, but his
friends from various parts of the
county prevailed upon him to en-
ter the race, and so great was
their insistence that he has decid-
ed to permit his name to go before
the people once more.
During his previous terms as
Senator Mr.. Bradshaw made a
brilliant record, and stood among
the leading members of that body.
He was always alert to the best
interests of his constituents, and
watched closely every measure
that affected his people. A few
years ago Mr.. Bradshaw entered
the ministry, being ordained as a
Baptist preacher, and since that
time he has devoted most of his
time to the work of the Master.
In case he is elected, his duties as
senator will not interfere with
his church work, as he will be a.
BILE to devote Saturdays and Sun
days to his churches, and keep his
work up as well as he is doing
now.
Mr.. Bradshaw has always con-
Quoted his campaigns upon high
plane, going before the people and
discussing the measures of the
day, and leaving it to them to
make their choice, and whatever
their verdict may be he accepts it
with perfect satisfaction.
He is man of sterling integri-
ty, uprightness and honesty, and
can at all times be depended up
on to take a leading part for the
right. He is an orator of rare
ability, an able debater, well
read and always ready for dis
cussion of any nature.
He has been tried and proved
his ability and fidelity, and should
the voters of Rankin county a.
gain honor him he promises that
he will watch their interests
with the same jealous care that
has characterized his, previous
terms.

HON ]. S. ROBERTS FOR REP.
RESENTATIVE.

Nearly every man, woman and
child in Rankin county has the
pleasure of a personal acquain-
lance with Hon. j. S. Roberts,
and are fully aware of his worth
as legislator and citizen. For
two terms he represented this
county in the State Legislature,
and it gives us pleasure to say he
proved one of the best men in the
body. He is the author of some
OF the best laws now on our
statute books, and was a hard
worker for the best interests of
his people. He is a lifelong res
ident of the county, is identified
with its interests in every way,
and is anxious to see it go on
ward and upward with the other
progressive counties of the state.
He is liberal in his views, close
observer and closely considers
every point before alinging him
self on questions of public inter-
est.
He is farmer by occupation,
and realizing that ours is a
strictly agricultural country, his
plans are always for the better
ment of conditions on the farms,
and to make the country better
place in which to live.
He believes that we have laws
enough, and instead Of working
for new ones, his aim will be,
should he be elected, to repeal
some of the present statutes that
are oppressive to the people.
With q great majority Of the
people he considers the state tax
commission an ubiquitous piece
OF legislation, and it will be his
intention to repeal this law along
with lot of others that harass
the farmer and his interests.
