to my friends for female troubles. -
Mrs. DELLA SCHoLz, 1412 Salisbury
Street, st. Louis, Mo.
Just think for moment. Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
been in use for nearly fifty years. 1t is
prepar ed from medicinal plants, by the
utmost pharmaceutical skill, and supe-
rior methods. The ingredients thus
combined in the Compound correct the
conditions which cause such annoying
symptoms as had been troubling Mrs.
Scholz. The Vegetable Compound exer-
cises a restorative influence of the most
d desirable character, correcting the trou-
BILE in a gentle but efficient manner.
This is noted, by the disappearance, one
after another, of the disagreeable
symptoms.

Tom Leonard's eyes were full of
mischief but he made his face serious
as he answered, 81 thought you were
going to eat HMM revenge-sO here

to her.
"But he's so little, why thought"
His feathers, you know they make
difference!" he explained gravely.
"As long as you-you took him and
plucked him, now you can cook him
and eat himi'
Not unless you and your aunt will
have Thanksgiving dinner with me-"
Tom Leonard explained, looking at
her with suddenly earnest eyes.
Although he was dressed in rough
corduroy and his hands were rough
ened by farm work, he was very hand-
some. There was CLINT in his brown
eyes, crisp wave to his dark hair
that drew Janet's eyes back.
"Thanksgiving!" Janet said, she
turned away quickly to hide her tears,
81 can't be thankful, l shall have to
go back to the city and give all this
up-and the typewriter again." she
stumbled.
Janet, you know--I-" He took a
step toward her, but Janet, bright
checked, with hurried breath was
backing away.
Maybe I'll come to dinner. I'll ask
Auntie. 1t will be the last"
She scurried down the path and
fled up the road, her heart beating
with rapturous thuds at the know
ledge his eyes had sent her.

alarming gestures with her stick, and
the turkey gobbled on ahead while
she thought of revenge stern enough
Tor ION Leonard.
When two hours later she and her
aunt, dressed in their best, made
their decorous way to Tom Leonard's
small farmhouse, Janet was still pom
dering.
But she was the loudest in her
praise Of "the turkey"
He's so tender and so fail" she
explained delightedly, "but how hate
to eat my dear old Drumstick."
When Tom Leonards housekeepel
had cleared away the dinner ant
auntie had gone to the chamber tt
take her forty winks, Janet was lief
alone with her neighbor.
Janet, you know what I want tt

Never" said Janet gravely, 81 like
you, but a thief should never fee
able to trust man who stole
"Why, 1t was all joke, you dar
ling little goose!" he begged, reach
ing for her hand.
do you mean to say?" Jane
gasped in pretended surprise, "but
not until I see my own Drumstick car

you mean, then, Janet, that If
can find your turkey, you'll-youl
think Of me?" he pleaded. -
And Janet with the demon of mis-
chief cleaning In her eyes answered

Leonard on a wild pursuit Of her wan
dering bird, through fields and owe
fences, a goose chase that would cur
him forever Of teasing.

He turned her about and there strut

And looking up into his eyes tina

knew she was going to do more thai

even put up the shelf and hammered
her thumb black and blue in the at
tempt.
ut was pretty enough Janet
thought as she tramped down her
front walk switching with the knobby
stick at the dry brown Of the grass.
But at last 1t was proved to her
that it was about all over"
AS she walked down the highway
she stopped every few steps to peer
over crumbling stone wall, to move
at a flicker Of leaves and to call
"Here, Drumstick, herel" but without
result.
Every one laughed at her In the
beginning and told her she couldn't
do it. Utterly impracticable for a girl
to try to run place like that herself!
Now if she could raise violets or even
make jam for living If she were
tired Of business in the city. But to
raise turkeys!
All these cousins and near-relations
and aunts who comprised Janets
family could shake their heads
and cry complacently, II told you so I"
and not word would she be able to
answer.
She knew she could raise turkeys
and she thought with a sudden rage
Of the result!
"Here, Drumstick!" she called aloud
thrashing at the roadside weeds, but
no sign of the wanderer rewarded her.
"Why, no millionaire's baby with two
nurses and a whole retinue of SER
wants could be so delicate as one
wretched well-fed turkey" her
thoughts ram.
How carefully she had studied book
let's from Cornell, and how she had
fed them and seen them into their
coops at night. But they had never
got a disease that 1t said they had,
but had died, quickly, suddenly, mys-
teriously Of unknown ailments.

"He doesn't need to think he can
get away, I'll eat him!" Janet told
herself fercely.
Again she sent up her call, but there
was no answering rustic in the stubby
cornfield and over the rough-grown
| hedge.
Then suddenly before her Mortified
eyes she saw that her next-door neigh.

last all day.? .....

Easy to start from the breakfast table with
zest and enthusiasm, but how easy is it to
keep on? Does ambition last, or lag as the day
develops?
The afternoon slump is factor to be count
ed upon, in business or social life.
Usually, there's reason.
Nerves whipped by tea or coffee won't keep
running, and they won't stand constant
whipping.
Many man or woman who has wished the
afternoon would be as bright as the morning has
simply been wishing that the nerves wouldn't
have to pay the natural penalty for being whipped
with the caffeine drug.
Postum gives breakfast cup of comfort and
cheer, without any penalties afterward. There's
no letting down" from Postum no midday
drowsness to make up for midnight wakefuness;
no headaches; no nervous indigestion; no increase
of blood pressure.
Think it over. There's full satisfaction in
Postum Ia cup of comfort for ANYBODY the
children included, any time.
You can get Postum from your grocer or
your waiter today, and probably you'll begin to
have better tomorrows as so many thousands
have had, who have made the change from coffee
to Postum.
