 kind that has been made here, and he feels confident that the fund will be in the vicinity of $1,o00.

Lydia E. Pinkham,s Vegetable Com pound advertised and had heard sev- eral women talk of it, so mother got me some. This Vegetable Compound is wonderful and it helped me very much, so that during my periods 1 am not now sick or drowsy. 1 have told many girls about it and would be glad to help anyone who is troubled with similar ailments. = STELLA LINK wILER, Second St, Evansville, Ind.
 Some girls lead lives of luxury, while others toll for their livelihood, but all are subject to the same physi- cal laws and suffer in proportion to their violation. When such symptoms develop as irregularities, headaches, backaches, bearing-down sensations and "the blues, girls should profit by Miss Linxwiler's experience and give Lydia E.

that We used 10 have. but outside of few
set musical efforts nothing else seems tC
pay. The Philadelphia public refuses &c

this city, but will much prefer TO pay their
money TO very much inferior projects from
outside the city Naturally our own sing
"rs and musicians will no longer give con
Ccrts. rectalg, ETC., and lose money by sc
dCing.
It used IN be with pride that We heard
or a new singer developed from our midst
with rare talent. or an instrumentalist or q
composer whose composition was played bc
fore the public with great acclaim. All thi'
has been changed and VIC have been rele

cost, but upon that of its construction and
OF Its maintenance during Its entire lie.
concrete surfaces possess one merit, and
that Is that they can be resurfaced with
somc other material, such asphalt, when
their original usefulness IL past.
Mr.. Williams makes no mention or the
unsightlnesa OF tho cracks which develop
in cement concrete surfaces and tho neces-
slty for constant maintenance or the ex.
pcnse OF this upkcep. We have many ex-
anples Of native Jake asphalt pavcments
that have stood up under extraordinarily
heavy traffic for twenty years or longer.
Scores OF miles Of country roads IN New
York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania
which were built with asphalt have Elvor
ton or more years of service without re-
quirng maintenance.
Traffic Is the only destructive influence
which affects asphalt highways. Frost,
temperature changes. poroslty pcrmenbil-
ity. electrolysls and other destructive In
huences work on concrete.
We have gone into considerable detail,
but In View of the Importance of the sub
joct ana the manner In which II was han
dIed by Mr.. Williams we trust you will not
teol that the intrusion is unwarranted.
