Miss Whittaker, a prominent
club woman of Savannah, Ga.,
tells how she was entirely cured
of ovarian troubles by the use
of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound.
Dear Mrs. Pixkham : — I heartily
recommend Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound as a Uterine
Tonic and Regulator. I suffered for
four years with irregularities and
Uterine troubles. No one but those
who have experienced this dreadful
agony can form any idea of the physi
cal and mental misery those endure
who are thus afflicted. Your Vege
table Compound cured me within
three months. I was fully restored to
health and strength, and now my
periods are regular and painless.
What a blessing it is to be able to
obtain such a remedy when so many
doctors fail to help you. Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
is better than any doctor or medicine
I ever had. Very truly yours, Miss
Easy Whittaker, 604 39th St., W.
Savannah, Ga.” — #5000 forfeit If original of
above letter proving genuineness cannot be produced.
The testimonials which we
are constantly publishing from
grateful women prove beyond a
doubt the power of Lydia E.
Pinkliam’s Vegetable Com pound
to conquer female diseases.

CURIOUS FOOD COMPOUND,
Old Cones, Alum, Flint nn«l Sulphuric
Acid for Raisins Dread.
Housekeepers have recently been to
licited by some of the grocers ud by
peddlers to try another kind of bakiDg
powder—“cheaper and just as good,” as
they say. This is another scheme oi
some baking powder manufacturer to
get a new brand on the market by offer
ing the grocer a large profit. House
keepers are not usually much benefited
by such changes. Alum baking pow
ders are generally low priced, but they
are well known to be detrimental to
health. Large quantities of one of
them were recently seized in New York,
being found to be largely composed of
sharp-pointed grains of ground flint
and sulphuric acid!
Most of the so-called phosphate pow
ders are mixed with alum. The manu
facturer of a phosphate powder has pat
ented the process of making the princi
pal ingredient of his powder from bones
digested with sulphuric acid.
Housekeepers do not want such mix
tures in their food. They should never
encourage peddlers nor admit testers
or alleged experimenters in food within
their doors, and when buying baking
powder should get a brand well known
to be made of cream of tartar, which is
a healthful product of the grape.
(ilnilNtone'H Clunfne Venn*.
Early in the 80s, when he lived in
tlarlev street, Mr. Gladstone often
walked from his house to Westminster
by the way of Regent street and Pall
Mall, and it was on one of these oc
casionns, in the yellow dusk of a wrin
try afternoon, that I saw him for the
first time. Even the few' in the crowd
who did not know him were arrested
by the rare distinction of his appear
ance, which suggested both power and
benevolence. Apparently in the prime
of life, though actually beyond it, and
with a figure of supple strength and
more than common height, his face
pallid but luminous, he bore himself
with that dignity and grace which no
bles and princes do not always inherit
and the leaders of men can not al
ways acquire. There was in him “a
combination and a form, indeed, to
give the world assurance of a man.”
Other distinguished people might be
mistaken for something less than they
are—the late Lord Salisbury, for in
stance, or Lord Rosebery—but it was
impossible to see Mr. Gladstone,
whether one knew him or not, with
out recognizing in him a man both un
usual and paramount. Those among
the passers who did not know him
gazed and wondered; the others whis
pered his name, and many of them,
after passing him once, turned in their
path and doubled on it for the sake of
passing him again.
Sor.n after this it was my privilege
to become acquainted with him per
sonally, and a frequent correspondence
between us ensued, leading to occa
sional visits to Hawarden, wrliich, I
need not say, mad6 red-letter days for
me and were looked forward to with
no less appreciation than the memory
of them justified when they were
over.
His urbanity had an old-world qual
ity of courtliness without the chill of
ceremoniousness, and the visitor was
quickly made to feel that he was an ob
ject of friendly interest and considered
rather than the recipient of honors and
privileges, ready as he properly might
be to see himself only on that footing.
Tlie IliKheNt Court.
Tn Colorado is a small town, which
has the distinction of being away up
above the Cripple Creek, as well as
15,200 feet above sea level.
In the month of May, not many
years since, they carried the mail to
this town on snow shoes, a distance
of 150 miles. So, you see, it is of
some importance.
It would be important, if for no oth
er reason than that is'boasts a jus
tice of the peace, and he is as im
portant as any other functionary of
his class. However, he has a lot of
solid horse sense.
A suit was to be tried before him,
and one of the parties stirred the
community “from center to circum
pass” by sending- off and «aporting a
lawyer.
That case dragged itself out to an
unprecedented length—and the popu
lace had never dreamed that law was
so full of objections and exceptions,
motions, protests, expostulations and
the like, as that lawyer proved it to
be. lie was to them another wonder
of the world.
But there was one thing- lie couldn’t
prolong, and that was the prompt,
crisp, decisive “judgment for the
plaintiff,” that his honor snapped out
as soon as the trial was fairly over,
aiid almost before.
“Well, sir,” said the lawyer in tones
of superiority, “we will have to take
this case to a higher court.”
“You can't do that, mister,” replied
the magistrate.
“And why not, pray?”
“There ain’t no higher court, sir
This court is thirteen thousand two
hundred feet above the level of the
sea, sir—and I’ll have you distinctly
understand, sir, that it is the highest
court in all this broad land, sir.”~
Philadelphia Ledger.
THREE CLEVER FISHES.
One Lures Its Prey; Another Shoots
—Third Uses Main Force.
All fishes do not have sharp
weapons with which to keep oil'
their enemies or to irse in catching
other fishes for themselves, so na
ture, which looks after all things,
teaches them little tricks which
they use to great advantage, says
the Washington Star.
There is one fish who hides him
self in the mud at the bottom of
the big rivers in India, where he
makes his home, and just peeps
his head out to see what is going
on. Now this fish has a kind of
beard growing on his lips. The
hairs of the beard keep wiggling
about in the water and the little
fishea think that surely they are
worms. All little fishes are very
greedy, so when they see these
hairs they say to themselves:
“Oh, here are some lint* worms,
let’s have a party.” Up they
swim and begin to nibble at the
hairs; but the fish who is in the
mud gobbles them up and the lit
tie ones do not have any party.
There is another kind of fish who
shoots flies and little bugs. He
twists his mouth until it is just
like a pop-gun and he uses a drop
of water instead of a bullet.
When he sees a fly sitting on a
leaf near the water’s edge he takes
aim very carefully, then pop! and
Mr. Fly finds himself knocked into
the water, only to be eaten by the
fish who has shot him.
Still another strange fish lives
in the sea. He is called the suck
ing fish. When he sees anything
he likes very much he simply fas
tens himself to it by means of a
kind of plate on his head. He is
so strong that nothing can pull
him a wav.
The people who live near the
coast of Africa use this fish to
catch turtles. They tie a strong
cord to his tail and put him in the
water near the place where the
turtle is asleep. If they go too
near the turtle will wake up and
swim away, but the sucking tisli
always catches him and holds on
so hard tliut the men in the boat
I>ull in fish, turtle and all. So you
see this fish is very useful.
WAYS OF JURIES.
Why Lawyers Must Be Circumspect
in Dealing wi.n Them.
One of the most common de
fects of a recently admitted law
yer is a striving for oratorical dis
play, says Success. A successful
older practitioner endeavors, on
the other hand, to give the jury a
heart-to-heart talk. The ways of
an eagle in the air, of a serpent
upon a rock, of a ship in the midst
of the sea and of a man with a
maid are as A, 1>, C compared
with the methods usually pur
sued by the twelve good men and
true. It seems a trifle odd at first
that a dozen individuals who sep
arately are shrewd, sharp busi
ness men should collectively lx*
guilty of the most absurd per
formances, but the fact must be
reckoned on, nevertheless.
A story is told of two farmers
who were returning home, one of
them from jury duty in a neigh
boring town. “Lawyer Smith is
a great orator,” said one—“ a per
fect Daniel Webster. My, how I
hated to decide against him in the
three cases he tried!”
“How about Lawyer Jones, who
was on the other side?”
“Oh, shucks! why, of course lie
wins all his cases. I heard every
one of ’em, and they were the
simplest things.He just explained
tilings to the jury. He didn’t have
to do any hard talking at all. You
coukl’nt help but agree with him.”
Circumstances Alter Cases.
“Yes,” said the tramp who was
explaining his graft, “I always
tell de lady of de house dat I was
injured on de field.”
“What field j' asked the new
comer on the rpad.
“Well, if iys a young lady I say
football fieiyf an’ if its an old lady
I say battlefield.”—Chicago Daily

14 East 120th St., New York City.
Dear Sirs: Oct. 15th, 1903.
“ I had been suffering severely from kidney
trouble. All symptoms were on hand; my former
strength and power had left me; 1 could hardly
drag myself along. Even my mental capacity was
giving out, and often I wished to die. It was then
I saw an advertisement of yours in a New York
paper, but would not have paid any attention to it,
had it not promised a sworn guarantee with every
bottle of your medicine asserting that your
Swamp-Root is purely vegetable, and does not
contain any harmful drugs. I am seventy years
and four months old, and with a good conscience
I can recommend Swamp-Root to all sufferers
from kidney troubles. Four members of my
family have been using Swamp-Root for four
different kidney diseases, with the same good
results.”
With many thanks to you, I remain,
Very truly yours,
ROBERT BERNER.
