Chattanooga, Tenn-"I used Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
before my baby came when l could no
longer keep up. 1t strengthened my
back and relieved me of the i'll effect
which so often develops at such times.
That was my first experience with the
Vegetable Compound. Years after
wards l took it during the Change of
Life and got along so well scarcely
ever had to lie down during the day
and seldom had dizzy, fainting spells.
l am now well and strong, can do all
my homework with perfect ease and it
is a comfort to me to be able to say to
other suffering women take Lydia E.
Pinkham's medicine and be strong
l will be glad to have you use my name
if it will be the means of helping any
one" - Mrs. r. A. FAIRBURN, COG

CAN'T GET OIL
FOR THE STREETS
City is Trying to Arrange with County
Officials to Oil Anschutz Road
and Main Street Ex-
tension.

Inability to secure oil is making 1t
impossible for the city to oil Absolute
hill, the Main street extension and
other streets in the city, it was stat
ed today. Some of the good roads
enthusiasts Of the city think the street
department should oil Anschutz hill
and the Main street extension as a
meter of economy for the streets.
City officials say it is impossible to
secure the oil and if they could get it
they would have to depend on the
county equipment for spreading it..
Commissioner Overton is trying to
make arrangements with the county to
continue the oiling of Anschutz hill
over the city's portion.
