This woman says that sick
women should not fail to try
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound as she did.
Mrs. A. Gregory, of 2355 Lawrence
St., Denver, (JoL, writes to Mrs.
Pinkham:
“I was practically an invalid for sis
years, on account of female troubles.
I underwent an operation by the
doctor’s advice, but in a few months I
was worse than before. A friend ad
vised Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound and it restored me to perfect
health, such as I have not enjoyed in
many years. Any woman suffering as
I did with backache, bearing-down
pains, and periodic pains,should not fail
to use Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound.”

Frank If Not Complimentary.
Her brother, aged 17, had been made
captain of a high school football team
and consequently had become sudden
ly popular with the girls in the neigh
borhood. Because of this the man
ager of a skating link presented broth
er with a season pass. Sister, who
had attained the tremendous age of
20, was truly flattered when brother
asked her, rather than some of the
younger belles of his acquaintance, to
share the privileges of that skating
rink pass. But brother's explanation
removed all danger of the immediate
growth of sister’s vanity. “You see,”
be told her with frank simplicity, “I’m
not used to skating with girls. I'll
practice on you for a month or two,
and then when I can do it real weil
I'll ask some of the other girls.”
Hopeless Case.
Evangelist Torrey, who prides him
self upon the number of his converts,
met one hardened sinner in Chicago
whom he failed to convert. The min
ister had been preaching to a tent full
of people. He had described the vices
of the rich, and had pointed Biblical
analogies at their luxuries. One man
in the back of the tent had seemed
to be much interested. He leaned
forward to catch every word. Tor
rey, taking the interest to mean
approaching conversion, redoubled his
efforts. “The road to hell Is lined
with vintage, wine, beautiful women
and fine automobiles!” he exclaimed.
With a sigh as of relief, the man in
the back of the tent arose. “Oh,
death, where is thy sting?” he said.
At Last.

BANISHED
Coffee Finally Had to Go.
The way some persons cling to cof
fee even after they know it is doing
them harm, is a puzzler. But it is an
easy matter to give it up for good,
when Postum Food Coffee is properly
made and used instead.
A girl writes: “Mother had been
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
“One day I asked her why she did
not give up coffee as a cousin of mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such a slave to coffee
she thought it would be terrible to
give it up.
“Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum so
freely and with such relish I Asked for
a taste.
“That started me on Postum and I
now drink it more freely than I did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
“A girl friend of mine, one day, saw
me drinking Postum and asked if it
was coffee. I told her it was Postum
and gave her some to take home, but
forgot to tell her how to make it.
“The next day she said she did not
see how I could drink Postum. I found
she had made it like ordinary coffee.
So I told her how to make it right
and gave her a cupful I made, after
boiling it fifteen minutes. She said
she never drank any coffee that tasted
as good, and now coffee is banished
from both our homes.” Name given
by Postum CO., Battle Creek, Michigan.

MRS. JONES WAS “FIRST LADY”
OF TEXAS REPUBLIC.
Judge Who Performed Marriage Cere
mony in 1840 Killed by Indiana
Shortly After Near Austin—
—Her Adventurous Life.
Austin, Tex.—Mrs. Anson Jones,
tvho died the other day, was one of the
most historic women of Texas. She
was the widow of Dr. Anson Jones,
who was president of the Republic
of Texas during the period just previ
ous to the annexation of the common
wealth to the United States. Mrs.
Jones, as “first lady of the land,” pre
sided at many social functions which
were given at the capital of the young
republic. In those early days foreign
ambassadors were located in Austin,
and, despite the activity of the In
dians, who kept them in constant dread
of being killed, these representatives
of foreign governments managed to
have a very pleasant time.
The marriage of Dr. and Mrs. Jones
took place in Austin in May, 1840. The
wedding trousseau was brought all the
way from Houston to Austin, a dis
tance of 186 miles, by oxcart.
Judge James Smith, who married
Dr. and Mrs. Jones, was killed by In
dians while out riding near Austin a
short time after he had performed the
ceremony.
Mrs. Jones related many interesting
incidents that occurred in the Texas
capital during the time that her hus
band was president of the republic.
She said that the foreign ambassadors
seldom traveled even a short distance
into the country out of Austin without
being provided with a guard to pre
vent attack by Indians. On one oc
casion the French ambassador, M. De
Saligny, wanted to take a pleasure
ride a short way beyond the outskirts
r
of town. He applied to President
Jones for an armed guard to accom
pany him. The guard was not avail
able just at the time, and Presidenl
Jones informed the ambassador that
he was unable to comply with his re
quest. The Frenchman became mad
dened and excited when his requesl
met with refusal, Mrs. Jones said. He
exclaimed as he left the president's
presence in a huff:
"I hope a d— Indian will kill me
Then see what France will do.”
The ambassador went on his rids
alone and returned safely.
Dr. Jones, the last president of the
Texas republic, was a native of Massa
chusetts. He came to Texas in 1833
before the new republic was born, anc
located at Brazoria. He soon became
prominent in the political affairs ol
the country after independence frorr
Mexico was gained. He was a raembei
of the Texas congress in 1838, anc
that same year he was appointed min
ister to the United States from Texas
He represented this republic at Wash
ington for two years and returned tc
his home to fill the office of senator
to which he had been elected.
The seat of government was moved
from Austin to Washington, Tex., ir
1842, while Dr. Jones was president
He named the executive mansion al
Washington Barrington, in honor ol
Great Barrington, Mass., the place ol
his nativity.
Dr. Jones died in 1858. His widow
lived for some time in Galveston, and
in 1879 she moved to Houston, where
she has since resided.
The early life of this remarkable
woman, before her marriage to Dr
Jones, was full of adventuro and ex
citement. She was born In Lawrence
county, Arkansas, and was the eldesl
child of John C. and Sarah Smith. Hei
father died in 1827. In 1833 she ac
companied her mother on an overland
trip from Arkansas to Texas, and wheo
they reached Brazoria county thej
joined Austin's colony. When word
reached them that Gen. Santa Anna
and his Mexican army were advancing
upon the colony they made a hurried
flight with other settlers to the east
ern part of Texas. When they learned
that Gen. Sam Houston’s forces were
victorious at the battle of Ssta Jacintc
the mother and daughter returned tc
their home which had been made deso
\ late by the invading forces.

ITCHING HUMOR ON BOY
His Hands Were a Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread All Over Body
—Cured in 4 Days By Cuticura.
“One day we noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We first noticed it on his little
hands. His hands were not as bad
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard of the Cuticura Remedies
being so good for itching sores. By
this time the disease had spread all
over his body, and his hands were
nothing but a solid mass of this itch
ing disease. I purchased a box of Cuti
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment, and that night I took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water
and washed him well. Then I dried
him and took the Cuticura Ointment
and anointed him with it. I did this
every evening and in four nights he
was entirely cured. Mrs. Frank Don

Ring Watches Popular.
Swiss watchmakers are reported to
be busy filling English and American
orders for finger ring watches. The
ring wratch, though little seen, is no
novelty. The manager of an old Lon

Queen Victoria had three or four.
The simplest ones—a plain gold ring
with the watch inserted—cost about
$100, but with diamonds or other
stones, $5,000 to $10,000 may be paid.

TO CURE A COUGH OR COLD.
Doctor’s Prescription Checks an Acute
Cold in a Day and Cures
Chronic Coughs.
The following formula is a never
failing remedy for coughs or colds:
Two ounces of glycerine, one-half
ounce of Concentrated oil of pine,
one half pint of good whisky, mix and j
shake thoroughly each time and use
in doses of a teaspoonful to a table
spoonful every four hours.
This, if followed up, will cure any

Concentrated oil of pine comes put

NO BLESSING FOR HER.
Disappointed Youngster Discriminated
in His Prayer.
For several weeks, little Ralph had
enjoyed the use of a Shetland pony,
the property of a horse dealer who
was a friend of the family. But much
to Ralph’s sorrow, there came a day
recently when the pony was sold, and
the delightful horseback rides came
to a sudden end. The purchaser, as
Ralph found out by inquiry, was a
little girl of about his own mature
age of five. Ever since his acquaint
ance with the pony began, Ralph had
included him in his bedtime prayer,
and “God bless the pony,” was an
earnest nightly petition. The first
evening after the sale of the pony,
Ralph hesitated when he reached his
pet’s place in the prayer. Then, after
a moment’s thought, he continued:
“Please, God, bless the pony just
the same; but, God, don’t you bless
the little girl what’s got the pony.”
The only greatness is unselfish love.
There is a great difference between
trying to please and giving pleasure.
