How Three Women Found Relief.
Era.-ToAE-S ■/»
While no womf.n is entirely free from periodical suffering-, it does not seem
to have been the plan of nature that woman should suffer so severely. Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is the most thorough female regu
lator known to medical science. It relieves the condition which produces so
much discomfort and robs menstruation of its terrors.
The three letters here published should encourage every woman who suffers:
Axig. 6, 1898.
“ Dear Mrs. Pinkham : — 1 have
suffered since the age of sixteen with
painful menstruation. I have been
treated for months, and was told that
the womb had fallen a little. The
doctor says that is now in place again,
but I still have the same pain. Please
tell me what to do.”—Mrs. Emma
Kuehi., 113 Trautman St., Brooklyn,
E. D., N.Y.
Jan. 19, 1899.
“Bear Mrs. Pinkham :— After re
ceiving your reply to my letter of
Aug. 6 i followed your kind advice,
and am glad to tell you that I have
been cured of the severe pain at time
of menstruation through the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound. I have taken six bottles of
it, felt better after the first bottle,
and after a while had no more pain
or womb trouble.
“ I had doctored from the age of six
teen to twenty-six, and had lost all
hope, but your medicine has made
me well.
“ I would like to have you use my
testimonial, so that others may see,
and be inspired with hope, and take
your medicine.” — Mrs. Emma Kuehi.,
113 Trautman St.,Brooklyn,E. D.,N.Y.
Feb. 20, 1900.
“ I saw your medicine so highly
recommended I thought I would write
to you for advice.
“ My menstruation occurs every two
weeks, lasts a week, and is painful. I
have been troubled in this way for
some time. I suffer from sick head
ache and backache all the time, appe
tite poor, sick at
stomach every
morning’, every
thing 1 eat hurts
me, am very weak,
thin, and sallow.
“ 1 have tried a
doctor, hut he did
not seem to do me
any good.” — Miss
Maggie Pollard,
319 So. 4th St.s
Richmond, Va.
April 23, 1900.
“ Since receiving your answer to
my letter 1 have been taking your
Vegetable Compound, and it has done
me more good than any medicine I
have ever taken. My menses are all
right now, and appear once a month,
and I feel so much stronger. 1 shall
always praise your medicine.”—Misa
Maggie Pollard, 319 So. 4th St.,
Richmond, Va.
“ I was troubled with female weak
ness,irregular and
painful menstrua
ation, and leu
corrlioea. The
doctor’s medicine
did me no good.
I have taken one
bottle and a half
of your Vegetable
Compound, and
thanks to your
medicine,my pains
are gone. I advise
all women suffering as I have to use
your Vegetable Compound.”—Emma
J. Pbibble, Indianola, 111.
it tnere is any tump aoout your case aoont wnicn you would tike special
advice, write freely to Mrs. Pinkham. No man will see your letter. She can
surely help you, for no person in America has such a wide experience in treat
ins' female ills as she has had. She has helped hundreds of thousands of
women back to health. Her address is Lynn, Mass., and her advice is free.
You are very foolish if you do not accept her kind invitation.

AUGUST POST, Moulton,Iowa.
DOOR FOR HOG HOUSE.
Dne.Thnt Will Open from Either Sldi
by the Hog Pushing; It Hard
vrith Ills Snout.
A liog- house door should be on every
hog house in winter to keep animals
warm. One can be easily made that
hogs can open and shut at will. Make
the doorway at least six inches higher
than the pig. The door should tie of
matched flooring placed crosswise and
nailed together with battens, b b, run
ning up and down, placed even with
edges, thus making the door edges
two inches thick. Make the door four
inches shorter than the doorway. Get
two pieces of band iron two inches
wide, one-eighth inch thick, three
inches longer than the door, round
off one end and drill a hole for a 40 D
spike and nail on the edges of the door
as at c in small figure. Make a half
round block, a, from a piece of 4x4
wood long enough to tit loosely be
tween the projecting ends of the irons.
Drive the spike through the holes into
the ends of the block, as at d d. Spike
this block in the top of the doorway
and you have a hanging door that will'
open from either side by the hog push
ing it with his snout. Be sure the
block is put in square so the door will
swing free and be a close tit. If the
house is a new one to the hog, hang
the door up for a time, then prop it
partly open and chase the hog through
it and in a few days he will soon learn
how to open and shut his bedroom
door. Such a door also protects the
pen from wet and ice.—11. B. Taylor,
in Farm and Home.
WASTE OF CORN FODDER
Unnk Eitravns:nnce of Western
I>'urnicr» Surprises Thoughtful
Ohservcrs from the East.
Prof. Shaw renews liis pica for
greater economy upon the western
farm. Of that most palpable and use
less extravagance witnessed in 99 out
of every 100 corn fields, lie says: “The
waste of corn fodder in the Mississippi
valley is a grievous waste. In the ag
gregate the uncut corn must amount
to millions and millions of acres. And
one acre in those states where the
season is long grows so much food!
In a recent ride from Omaha to Kan*
sas City, for more than half a day the
train steamed along through cor*
fields, nearly all of which were uncut.
There was enough of uncut corn in
this one part of the Missouri valley
to feed hundreds of thousands of cat
tle through all the winter. All this
valuable food will waste, and it is only
a fragmentary portion of the waste
that will take place all up and down
the Mississippi and many of its trib
utaries. The day will come when all
this will change. The day will come
when it. must change. At one time the
greatest profit may thus have been
obtained by large holders of land. It
may be so still. But surely in 1hese
days of high-priced meat and of shred
ders, more money could be made by
using more of this valuable food. The
people in those areas where this prac
tice prevails will be. hard indeed to
persuade to change their ways, the
force of habit is so powerful, bfifit is
a change that ought to be brought
about.”—Prairie Farmer.
BITS FROM BUZZDOM
Swarming1 hives should be kept in
i cool place. A swarm may be in
duced to enter a hot hive, but if it
be too hot they are liable to de
sert it.
Sometimes, when bees have started
combs, and some eggs arc laid, an
extremely hot day will cause them
to desert the hive. This can be
avoided by having 1lie hive in a
shaded place, or by ereeti-ng a four
pole simple shade over it.
Bees seldom desert a hive after
they have made a large beginning on
combs and eggs, or when a frame
of brood is supplied to them.
Close students of bees insist that
bees never gather honey and pollen
on the same trip.
Honey-gatherers carry twice as
heavy loads as are gathered by the
pollen-gatherers. The reason for
this is that the honey is heavier than
the pollen, bulk for bulk, and that
the honey is taken into the bee’s
sack, while the pollen is carried on
the ends of the legs.—Rural World.
The size of the hives must be set
tled by the locality of the apiary.
No one size of hive will answer per
fectly in all places.
Preparing Soil for Salsify.
The soils for salsify should be rich,
but with well-rotted manure worked
deep and thoroughly. Upon the per
fect condition of the soil depend the
straightness and smoothness of the
roots, there being a tendency to
branch where fresh manure is applied.
The plants should be cultivated as
parsnips are. They are very hardy,
are not affected by frost, and may be
left in the ground all winter without
harm. But to have the roots read3'for
use they should be dug in the fall and
stored away in soil or sand where the
temperature is low. If exposed to the
air tho roots become shriveled and
Usteif*», and are without value,

A MIRACLE EXPLAINED,
Bryant, Mo., May 13.—The sensa
tional sure of Mrs. M. A. Goss, of this
place, has sent a ripple of excitement
all over Douglas County, and Dodd’s
Kidney Pills, the remedy in question,
are receiving1 thereby, the greatest
advertisement any medicine has ever
had in this state.
To satisfy the many inquiries
which she finds it impossible to an
swer by letter, Mrs. Goss has sent the
following statement of her case to
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat:
“I did not think i could live a day
and suffer, as I have lived and suf
fered for months, with Sciatica and
Rheumatism. I used baths and lini
ments of all kinds. Two physicians
treated me, one of them for two
months. Nothing helped me in the
least. I never slept more than ten
or fifteen minutes at a time. I was
bedfast, and had to lie on one side all
the time. I used to wish for death,
to deliver me from such torture.
“A friend suggested Dodd’s Kidney
Pills, and after I had used them a
week, I began to improve, and in
about four weeks I could sit up in
bed. A few days later, I walked a
quarter of a mile and back. I now do
all my own rooking and house work.
The pain has entirely left me, and I
am a well woman. I have taken alto
gether, sixteen boxes of Dodd’s Kid
ney Pills. Dodd’s Kidney Tills saved
my life.” Mrs. M. A. Goss.
People come for miles to see Mrs.
Goss, and hear her wonderful story.

WHAT WE HEAR FROM ASSINI
BOIA, WESTERN CANADA.
“Don’t Think of Coming, Bat Com*.”
To the Editor:
The above is the emphatic man
ner in which a friend in York
ton writes to a friend near St. Paul,
Minnesota, and it is pretty nearly
right, too, when the advantages
that Western Canada offer to those
seeking homes. The Assiniboia dis
trict is one of the best. The writer
from whose letter we quote goes on to
say:
“John, if you miss this chance you
are foolish, for you can get out cheap
er wTien there are so many coming,
and I would not tell you to come if I
thought you could not do well, and if
you don’t come in the spring you will
have to go away back, for you do not
want to think that there is no one liv
ing out here but us. I saw nicer build
ings out here than I ever saw before,
and if the country was no good what
would they want them for? John, if
you sold everything you have and
come out here you would be worth
more than ever you were before, and if
you can bring your team, you can get
anything you want orf tick, and when
they do that with strangers they are
not afraid they can’t make enough to
pay for it. I saw as nice wheat as I
ever saw in my life and if they could
not grow grain what would the flour
mill be for, and it cost $20,000.”
Now this was what Mr. Thomas
Fitzpatrick, of Yorkton, Assiniboia,
Western Canada, wrote to a friend.
There will be opened up this summer
new districts in Saskatchewan and
Assiniboia, at low prices, particulars
of which can be had of any agent of
the Government of the Dominion of
Canada, whose advertisement appears
elsewhere in the columns of your pa
per. Yours truly,

A FAMOUS OLD HOUSE
The house of Walter Baker & Co.,
whose manufactures of cocoa and
chocolate have become familiar in the
mouth as household words, was es
tablished one hundred and twenty
one years ago (1780) on the Nepon
set Itiver in the old town of Dorches
ter, a suburb of Boston. From the
little wooden mill, “by the rude
bridge that arched the flood,” where
the enterprise was first started, there
has grown up the largest industrial
establishment of the kind in the
world. It might be said that, while
other manufacturers come and go,
Walter Balter & Co. go on forever.
What is the secret of their great
success? It is a very simple one.
They have won and held the confi
dence of the great and constantly in
creasing body of consumers by al
ways maintaining the highest stand
ard in the quality of +heir cocoa and
chocolate preparations, and selling
them at the lowest price for which
\inadulterated articles of good qual
ity can be put upon the market. They
welcome honest comj>etltion; but they
feel justified in denouncing in the
strongest terms the fraudulent meth
ods by which inferior preparations
are palmed off on customers who ask
for and suppose they are getting the
genuine articles. The best grocers
refuse to handle such goods,not alone
for the reason that, in the long run,
it doesn’t pay to do it, but because
their sense of fair dealing will not
permit them to aid in the sale of
goods that defraud their customers
and injure honest manufacturers.
Every package of the goods made
by the Walter Baker Company bears
the well-known trade-mark “La Belle
Chocolatiere,” and their place of man
ufacture “Dorchester, Mass.” House
keepers are advised to examine their
purchases, and make sure that other
goods have not been substituted.
An attractive little book of “Choice
Becipes” will be mailed free to any
housekeeper who sends her name and
address to Walter Baker & Co., Ltd.,
158 State Street, Boston, Mass.
