averaging much lower prices paid
for fertilizers this year on account of
cooperative and direct buying.

ARE YOU THE WOMAN YOU

Every woman was meant to be healthy,
happy, and fill her sphere in life to the
best of her ability; but, alas, how few
have the health or physical endurance to
live up to their ideals! over-ambitious,
many of them develop nervousness, irri-
liability, headaches, backaches, irregulari-
ties, and often more serious ailments which
retard their progress in life. Woman in
this condition should turn to Lydia E.

it. Let Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

whether the plea of the township
committee for electric service should
be undertaken. Several conferences
