Nature and a woman’s work com
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman’s ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our ‘Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that baffle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pe
culiar ills, more potent and effica
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman’s ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 N.C. St.,
Louisiana, Mo., writes:
“ Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering' women I am willing
to make my troubles public.
“For twelve years I had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time I had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what I suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham’s advice re
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women.”
What Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound did for Airs. A luff,
it will do for other suffering women.
Stern Parent—I hadn’t any of the
advantages you have had. How do
you suppose I have got on as I have?

A Warm Allusion.
“Do you see that man across the
street?”
“Yes; who is he?”
“The greatest fellow for giving you
hot air you ever came across.”
“Oh, a bluffer.”
“Not at all. He is at the head of a
big heating company.”
RAILROAD MAN
Didn’t Like Being Starved.
A man running on a railroad has to
be in good condition all the time or he
is liable to do harm to himself and
others.
A clear head is necessary to run a
locomotive or conduct a train. Even
a railroad man’s appetite and diges
tion are matters of importance, as the
clear brain and steady hand result
from the healthy appetite followed by
the proper digestion of food.
“For the past five years,” writes a
railroader, “I have been constantly
troubled with indigestion. Every doc
tor I consulted seemed to want to
starve me to death. First I was diet
ed on warm water and toast until I
•was almost starved; then, when they
would let me eat, the indigestion
would be right back again.
“Only temporary relief came from
remedies, and I tried about all of them
I saw advertised. About three months
ago a friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food. The very first day I no
ticed that my appetite was satisfied,
which had not been the case before,
that I can remember.
“In a week, I believe, I had more
energy than ever before in my life. I
have gained seven pounds and have
not bad a touch of indigestion since
I have been eating Grape-Nuts. When
my wife saw how much good this food
was doing me she thought she would
try it awhile. We believe the dis
coverer of Grape-Nuts found the ‘Per
fect Food.’ ”

Washington.—President Roosevelt
has determined to withdraw the feder
al troops from Goldfield, Nev., shortly
after the legislature begins its special
session Tuesday. This intention was
made known at the White House Sun
day, when the report of the special
investigation commission was made
public, together with a letter from the
president to Governor Sparks, dated
January 4.
The president says he shall be gov
erned by the recommendations in the
report unless the governor can show
that the statements of the report are
not in accordance with the facts. The
report says:
“The conditions did not support the
general allegations in the governor’s
request for troops, nor were his speci
fic statements established to any such
extent as to justify his use of these
statements for the purpose of getting
federal troops.”
it concludes with this recommenda
tion:
“Rut we must also firmly believe
that upon the assembling of the leg
islature, or within a few days there
after, the troops should be removed,
regardless of any request for their re
tention that may be made by either
the legislature or the governor of Ne
vada, it being essential that the state
of Nevada shall understand this situa
tion completely, shall recognize the
fact that there will, at that date, be
thrown upon it, and it alone, the pri
mary responsibility of keeping order,
and that, recognizing this responsibil
ity, it may take such action as is the
duty of the state and as will be suffi
cient in the premises.”
Von Buelow Is Threatened.
Berlin.—The determination of the
Socialists to secure direct universal
suffrage, combined with their indig
nant protest against Chancellor Von
Buelow’s declaration refusing their de
mand, gave rise Sunday of an unusual
scene and a monster popular demon
stration, accompanied by disorders in
the streets of the Prussian capital, in
which 40,000 organized Socialists par
ticipated, while 30,000 sympathizers
from time to time actively joined in
the manifestations. One of the most
remarkable features of this uprising
was the number of women who engag
ed in the demonstrations and they ap
peared more earnest in their activities
than the men.
Japan Again Uneasy.
Tokio.—Incoming cablegrams, indi
cating an overwhelming sentiment in
America in favor of an exclusion bill
are causing much uneasiness among
leaders of all grades of politics who
have repeatedly expressed the convic
tion that the Americans did not de
sire to discriminate aaginst Japan and
would accept the attitude of the Jap
anese government as evidence of its
sincere desire not to embarrass the
American government and at the same
time save the amour propreje of the
Japanese.
For Forest Preservation.
Atlanta, Ga.—A convention to dis
cuss and urge' the preservation of the
Southern Appalachian forests will be

representing the leading commercial
organizations of the Central Southern
states will attend, and invitations have

states to be present. Governor Smith
of Georgia will preside over the ses

Killed In Auto Accident.
Houston, Tex.—In an endurance
race, in which about 16 automobiles
participated over country roads, cov
ering 112 miles, an accident occurred
on the final run. in which John Tren
tem, sporting editor of the Houston
Post, was killed by a collision with a
street car. Brown Botts was injured
internally and Ray Weiss, general
sales agent of the Kirby Lumber Com
pany, was badly bruised.
Bank President Arrested.
Altus, Okla.—J. A. Henry, president
of the First National bank, is under
$2,500 bond until the G'snd Jury meets
in June, having waived preliminary ex
amination following his arrest on a
charge of falsifying a deed to 320 acres
of valuable land owned by C. E. Tra
week, but against which Henry held
the notes by both Traweek and his
wife.
Legislature Meets Tuesday.
Carson, Nev.—Many members of the
state legislature, which has been call
ed by Governor Sparks to meet in spe
cial session next Tuesday for the pur
pose of providing means to preserve
order at Goldfield, have already ar
rived. Governor Sparks stated that
he hoped that the legislature would fin
ish its business in two weeks.

Kidneys.
Mrs. Frank Roseboom, 512 S. Wash

worse with me until
so nervous I could
not sleep at night. I
was dizzy and spots

cold settled on my

was discouraged when I began with
Doan’s Kidney Pills, *but now the
symptoms that alarmed me are gone.”

BLAMED ON THE RAILROAD.
First Thought in Irishman’s Mind Af
ter the Accident.
Railroad claim-agents have little
faith in their fellow creatures. One
said recently: “Every time I settle a
claim with one of these hard-headed
. rural residents who wants the rail
road to pay twice what he would
charge the butcher if he gets a sheep
killed, I think of this story, illustra
tive of the way some people want to
hold the railroad responsible for
every accident, of whatever kind, that
happens. Two Irishmen were driving
home from town one night when their
buggy ran into a ditch, overturned,
and they were both stunned. When a
rescuer came along and revived them,
the first thing one of them said was:
‘Where’s the train?’ ‘Why, there’s no
train around,’ he was told. ‘Then
where's the railroad?’ ‘The nearest
railroad is three miles away,’ he
learned. ‘Well, well,’ he commented.
‘I knew it hit us pretty hard, but I
didn’t suppose it knocked us three
miles from the track.’ ”
TWO CURES OF ECZEMA
Baby Had Severe Attack—Grandfather
Suffered Torments with It—
Owe Recovery to Cuticura.
“In 1SS4 my grandson, a babe, had
an attack of eczema, and after trying
the doctors to the extent of heavy bills
and an increase of the disease and suf
fering, I recommended Cuticura and
in a few weeks the child was well. He
is to-day a strong man and absolutely
free from the disease. A few years
ago I contracted eczema, and became
an intense sufferer. A whole winter
passed without once having on shoes,
nearly from the knees to the toes be
ing covered with virulent sores. I tried
many doctors to no purpose. Then I
procured the Cuticura Remedies and
found immediate improvement and
final cure. M. W. LaRue, 845 Seventh St.,
Louisville, Ky., Apr. 23 and May 14, '07.”
The Chauffeur’s Thought.
A well-known Englishman tells a
good motor-car story. He says that
on one occasion, when instructing his
chauffeur to drive carefully, he re
marked: "I don’t mind about grown
up people and dogs, but do be careful
about children and babies.” Whereup
on the chauffeur replied: “Yes, them
feeding-bottles do cut up the tires
dreadful.”

All Lost.
David Belasco, the playwright and
manager, was talking about matinee
idols. “Strange,” he said, “the fasci
nation that they exert upon young
girls. I overheard the other day a
literary conversation that is apropos.
Two men were conversing. “Did you
ever read Shakespeare's “Love's La
bor Lost”?’ said the first. ‘No,’
growled the second bald head, ‘but
I’ve taken my best girl to the theater,
and heard her rave all through the
show about the leading man’s heaven
ly hair.’ ” __
Beyond Expression.
G. W. Farlowe, East Florence, Ala.,
writes: “For nearly seven years I was
afflicted with a form of skin disease
which caused an almost unbearable
itching. I could neither work, rest
or sleep in peace. Nothing gave me
permanent relief until I tried Hunt’s
Cure. One application relieved me;
one box cured me, and though a year
has passed, I have stayed cured. I am
grateful beyond expression.”
Hunt’s Cure is a guaranteed remedy
for all itching diseases of the skin.

The Starfish Analyzed.
The starfish, one of the lowest forms
of life, has on its back about 25,000
jaws or hands arranged in rings and
bands. By the aid of these it cap
tures many animals for food, even
quick, active fish of considerable size.
Prof. Jennings of Johns Hopkins has
photographed the starfish at dinner,
and has discovered that even this low
form of animal life has “habits.”

answered not a word. In French he
tried to woo her—the maiden never
heard. He tried his luck in English,,
in Irish—all in vain; in Greek, Turkish

And then an inspiration came to the

and pressed her to his breast; she
understood that language, and—well,
