Haule, of Edgerton, Wis., tells
how she was cured of irregulari
ties and uterine trouble, terrible
pains and backache by Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
“ A while ago my health began to
iail because of female troubles. The
doctor did not help me. I remembered
that my mother had used Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
on many occasions for irregularities
and uterine troubles, and I felt sure
that it could not harm me at any rate
to give it a trial.
“ I was certainly glad to find that
within a week I felt much better, the
terrible pains in my back and side
were beginning to cease, and at the
time of menstruation I did not have
nearly as serious a time as hereto
fore, so I continued its use for two
months, and at the end of that time I
was like a new woman. I really have
never felt better in my life, have not
had a sick headache since, and weigh
20 pounds more than I ever did, so I
unhesitatingly recommend Vegetable
Compound.” — Mbs. May IIaule, Ed

A Surprised Physician.
A dying patient recovers through the in
terposition of a humble German.
Chicago, Nov. 15.
Some weeks ago Dr. G-, a very reput
able and wi'ilely-lknown physician, living on.
C- Street, was called to attend a very
complicated case of Rheumatism. Upon
arriving at the house he found a man about
forty years of age, lying in a prostrated and
Berious condition, with his whole* frame
dangerously affected with the painful dis
ease. He prescribed for the patient, but
the man continued to grow worse, and on
Sunday evening he was found to be in a
very alarming condition. The knees and el
bows and larger joints were greatly in
Samed, and could not be moved. It was
only with extreme difficulty that the pa
tient could be turned in bed, with the aid
of three or four persons. The weight of
the clothing was so painful that means had
to be adopted to keep it from the patient’s
body.
The doctor saw that his assistance would
be of no avail, an'd left the house, the mem
bers of the family following him to the
door, weeping. Almost immediately the
grief-stricken ones were addressed by an
humble German. He had heard of the
despair of the family, and now asked them
to try his remedy, and accordingly brought
forth a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil. The poor
wife applied this remedy. The first appli
cation eased the patient very much; after
a few hours they used it again, and, won
der of wonders, the pain vanished entirely!
Every subsequent application improved the
patient, and in two days he was well and
out. When the doctor called a few days
after, he was indeed surprised.

“Well,” said the cheerful wife, who
thought she had a soprano voice, “if the

The subject of good roads is an all
American subject, but it is one which
should be of most interest to those
sections which have given it the least
attention. Naturally, the best built
and the best maintained roads are in
districts where there are many people
and much stone. But good roads do
not come always because the region
they' traverse is populous; a region
sometimes becomes populous because
there are good roads. Then, again,
there are bad roads in thickly settled
districts—in districts where the roads
ought to be good. Good roads in a
neighborhood indicate progress. They
result from progress and they pro
mote progress. They are both cause
and effect. Well-kept highways consti
tute a theme which has engaged the
attention of many more persons in the
last decade than in any previous one.
The convention of New York repub
licans at Saratoga adopted a platform
containing a good roads plank. In
this division of the platform it was
set forth that:
“Good roads and canals are two of
the important features which make
for the material welfare and progress
of the - commonwealth. The canals
provide a channel for commerce, while
better highways bring the markets
closer to the door of the farmer.”
The pledge regarding good roads has
appeared in the platforms of political
parties in New York before, and that
state has perhaps a greater mileage
of excellent roads than any other
state in the union.
The Baltimore American, in a recent
article, in which it made comparison
of roads in Maryland to those in New
York, said:
“New York roads, compared with
those in Maryland, are the better.
New York people are dissatisfied with
thoroughfares which would be hailed
in many parts of this state as the
means of revolutionizing travel and
traffic. The result is that New York
state has grown marvelously rich.
Take out half a dozen men who are
reputed to have fabulous fortunes, and
the state outside of Greater New York
is the richest part of the common
wealth. The counties in Maryland
have a soil as fertile as New York, and
the reason why they are unable to
make a great display of property is
due mainly to the execrable roads
which are almost general in this
state.”
Good roads enable farmers to haul
more produce with the same expendi
ture of horse power. The farmer saves
in time and,in wear"and tear on horse,
harness and wagon. He can sleep
later and get to market earlier; stay
later at a neighbor’s and get home
sooner. Good roads promote social in
tercourse, insufficiency of which is one
of the reasons why so many persons
leave the country for the city, and
why so few give up city life for the
country, except at that season when
nature is at her best in the country
and at her worst in town.
Improved highways have promoted
the extension of rural free delivery,
and this delivery has aided in the de
velopment of better roads, says the
Washington Star.
The buggy was a benefit to high
ways. A road good enough for mount
ed horsemen and horsewomen, as so
many of our predecessors traveled,
was not good enough for a buggy.
Then the bicycle improved the road
ways. A highway good enough for a
buggy was not good enough for a bi
cycle, and thousands of wheelmen
rolling through the country did cam
paign work for the betterment of
roads. They told the country folk,
and insisted on it, too, that their roads
were not as good as some others. This
was missionary work, because it is a
phenomenon of country life that a
man always thinks the road he lives
on.is very good, or at least not so bad
as some others.
As the bicycle helped along the good
cause, so will the automobile or the
traction carriage. Automobilists want
better roads.
Every farmer should h<Wp a little by
using broad-tire wheels. These wheels
not only do not “rut” the roads, but
help to maintain them. A broad-tire
wheel ought to bear more weight
without strain than one with a narrow
tire. There is no more friction in the
use of a broad tire on a smooth road
than in the use of a narrow tire on a
rough one. A committee of automo
bilists reporting recently on New
York roads said:
“It is worse than useless to create
expensive and valuable highways only
to have them cut to pieces by the use
of narrow tires, as now used for the
hauling of heavy loads in this state.
When you have got a good thing, it
costs money, and you must take care
of it and change your methods to
maintain it. Wide tires are of the
greatest value in preserving ordinary
dirt roads.”
Q,ni<*k Cooling of Milk.
Milk allowed to stand two hours
without cooling contained 23 times as
many germs as when milking was
finished, while that which was cooled
to 54 degrees only had four times as
many at the end of two hours. This
emphasizes the importance of quick
and thorough cooling.—Creamery and
Dairy.

Pe=ru*na Cures, That Is Why the

All the Advertisements in the

Miss Margaret Donnelly, 21 Webster
Place, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes:
“Peruna was recommended to me
about a year ago for catarrh with which
I had been troubled nearly all my life,
but which had given me serious trouble
a few months before I took Peruna. In
two weeks my head cleared up, I did not
have headaches, and in a short time felt
perfectly well.”—Margaret Donnelly'.
“I am glad to recommend Peruna as
it has done so much for me. I had been
a great sufferer from catarrhal colds un
til I was urged to try Peruna, and I am
happy to say that it lias entirely cured
me. I shall never be without it and
most cheerfully recommend it to others
who are afflicted as I have been.”—
Katherine Dauter, 239 13th St., Mil
waukee, Wis.
Most people think the success of Pe
runa depends upon the use of advertise
ments. Undoubtedly the advertise
ments help some. Hut by far the great
est number of people who hear of Pe
runa, have their attention called to it
by a friend.
Some one gets cured of chronic ca
tarrh by Peruna. After he is certain of
his cure, he is sure to recommend it to
his friends. Friend recommends it to
friend and the news spreads from
tongue to tongue.
All the advertisements In the world
could not make Peruna as popular as
It Is. Peruna cures. That is the rea
son people like It. Peruna cures a
very stubborn disease. That is why
everyone recommends it. Peruna
cures chronic catarrh after all other
remedies fail, which explains why

Its merits are its chief advertisement.

THE CHILDREN ENJOY
teA\ '••
Vv''■<!•<•
Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoy
ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the
greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their
happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is
given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs
on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its
component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from
every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents,
well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is—
Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should
be used by fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Figs is the only remedy wlpch acts gently, pleasantly and
naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the
system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results
from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against
which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them
grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give
them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs
assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and
gentle—Syrup of Figs.
Its quality is ,due not only to the excellence of the combination of the
laxative principles of plants with pleasant arom^ic syrups and juices, but
also to our original method of manufacture andfls you value the health of
the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal
ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be
bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Please
to remember, the full name of the Company —
CALIFORNIA FIG SYR.UP CO.- is printed on
the front of every pack
age. In order to get its
beneficial effects it is al
ways necessary to buy
the genuine only.
