WOMEN OF MIDDLE AGE
ATrying Period throughwhich Every
Woman Must Pass
Practical Suggestion. Given by the Women Whose
Letters Follow

The critical time of q woman's
life usually comes between the
years of 45 and so, and is often be-
set with annoying symptoms such
as nervousness, irritability, melan-
cholia. Heat flashes or waves of
heat appear to pass over the body,
cause the face to be very red and
often bring on headache, dizziness
and sense of suffocation.
Another annoying symptom which
comes at this time is an inability to
recall names, dates or other small
facts. This is liable to make
woman lose confidence in herself.
She becomes nervous, avoids meet
ing strangers and breads to 60
out alone.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is especially adapted to
help women at this time. 1t exer-
cises restorative influence, tones
and strengthens the system, and
assists nature in the long weeks
and months covering this period.
Let it help carry you through this
time of life. 1t is a splendid medi-
cine for the middle-aged woman. II
is prepared from medicinal roots
and herbs and contains no harm

METUCHEN, Oct. 3.-A1l efforts
to secure a teacher for the fifth
grade at the Clara Barton school
are futile, according to Miss D. T.
Thornall, principal of the school, in
a statement made to a reported OF
the Perth Amboy Evening News.
Assisted by the school board Miss
Thornal1 has tried in vain to secure
for her faculty a teacher who is a
graduate of the normal school or
college. Many children are being de-
prived of an education and are SER
iously handicapped in their promo
ticn during the ensuing year, it was
said.
At the recent meeting Of the par
ent-Teachers' Association it was
strongly urged by Mrs. A. Nonnbers,
the secretary that the situation
should receive immediate considera-
ton and a teacher appointed.
At the present, the children re-
ceive their education from a half
dozen teachers a day, who make up
the vacancy existing The children,
It is said. hardly become acquainted

interview, and I hope that within
the next few days I am in a position

the hands of the police today for
the arrest of Harry r. Brenn. who
has been missing since the night
of Sept. rs, shortly before his gar
age at Oakville, Mo-. st. Louis
county, was destroyed by fire. In
the ruins of the fire was found a

lieved to be Brenn, but later de-
termined to be that Miss Celestine

its grave in Mount Hope cemetery.
A warrant also was sworn out

charge Brenn with stealing the
corpse from the cemetery, placing it
in his garage and setting fire to the

Mrs. Brenn, who has been ar
rested is charged with Withholding

might have played in the plot and
refusing to inform the police of
