1916 A woman is sick—some disease peculiar to her sex is fast developing in her system. She goes to her family physician and tells him a story, but not the whole story. She holds back something, loses her head, becomes agitated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals what she ought to have told, and this completely mystifies the doctor. Is it a wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the disease? Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very embarrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering, even to her family physician. This is the reason why hundreds of thousands of women are now in correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can give every symptom, so that when she is ready to advise them she is in possession of more facts from her correspondence with the patient than the physician can possibly obtain through a personal interview. Following we publish a letter from a woman showing the result of a correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham. All such letters are considered absolutely confidential by Mrs. Pinkham, and are never published in any way or manner without the consent in writing of the patient; but hundreds of women are so grateful for the health which Mrs. Pinkham and her medicine have been able to restore to them that they not only consent to publishing their letters, but write asking that this be done in order that other women who suffer may be benefited by their experience. Mrs. Ella Rice, Chelsea, Wis., writes: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—For two and inflammation of the womb.

What I endured no one knows but those who have suffered as I did. I could hardly drag myself across the floor. I doctored with the physicians of this town for three months and grew worse instead of better. My husband and friends wished me to write to you, but I had no faith in patent medicines. At last I became so bad that I concluded to ask your advice. I received an answer at once advising me to take your Vegetable Compound, and I did so. Before I had taken two bottles I felt better, and after I had taken five bottles there was no happier woman on earth, for I was well again. I know that your Vegetable Compound cured me, and I wish and advise every woman who suffers as I did to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

WESTERN CANADA'S DECEMBER WEATHER Equal to That of May in Minnesota. To the Editor:—Thomas Regan and C. Collins of Eden Valley, Minnesota, went out to Western Canada last December as delegates to look over the grazing and grain lands that are being offered at such low prices and reasonable terms. This is what they say: "We arrived in Calgary about the 20th of December and although we had left winter in Minnesota and Manitoba, we were surprised to find beautiful warm weather at this point, quite equal to what we have in May in Minnesota. There was no snow nor trace of winter to be seen, and the climate was really splendid. Horses, cattle and sheep were running out, in prime condition, with plenty of feed on the prairie, and really better than that of ours stabled in the south. We are impressed with this country as one of the finest mixed farming countries we have ever seen. The immense tracts of fertile lands well sheltered and abundantly watered leave nothing to be desired. "Leaving Alberta we returned east and visited the Yorkton district in Assiniboia. We drove out about ten miles at this point and were highly pleased with the splendid samples of grain we were able to see—wheat yielding 25 bushels, oats 60 bushels. Roots were also good specimens. From what we have seen, we have decided to throw in our lot with the Yorktoners—satisfied that this part of the country will furnish good opportunities for anyone anxious to make the best of a really good country." "Any agent of the Canadian government, whose advertisement appears elsewhere in the columns of your paper will give you full particulars of the new districts being opened out this year in Assiniboia and Saskatchewan. Yours truly. Old Reader." --- Piles Cured While You Sleep You are costive, and nature is under a constant strain to relieve the condition. This causes a rush of blood to the rectum, and before long congested lumps appear, itching, painful, bleeding. Then you have piles. There are many kinds and many cures, but piles are not curable unless you assist nature in removing the cause. CASCARETS make effort easy, regulate and soften the stools, relieving the tension, and giving nature a chance to use her healing power. Piles, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other rectal troubles yield to the treatment, and Cascaarets quickly and surely remove them forever. Don't be persuaded to experiment with anything else! Craft for Children's Parties Attractive name-cards for children's parties are made of sugar cookies, which have been rolled out very thin and cut in an oblong card shape. They are then baked, and afterward the initials of each child are written on with a stiff icing pressed through a paper horn, red sugar being sprinkled over the initials. King Edward Purchases Picture An interesting picture has just been purchased by King Edward VII. It was painted by the Empress Frederic, then princess royal, in 1855, to be sold for the benefit of the widows and orphans of the soldiers who fell in the Crimea. It is called "The Battlefield," and was originally bought for 500 guineas, but recently reverted to a dealer. Qualnt Greetings in Business. A firm in Wolverhampton, England, recently received a business letter from West Africa, which closed as follows: "But before you can do good enough to me in meantime to send me a very large assortment of samples, beads, woollens, cotton yarn, to enable me to send in my new orders. I conclude with my 10,000 kisses and prodigious greeting to you all." Mr. Pearson Will Not Resign. Rev. Mr. Pearson, the preacher who was elected sheriff of Cumberland county (Portland), Maine, after having been nominated as a joke by the liquor men, has been a source of unending trouble to them ever since. His rigid enforcement of the prohibition law has, it is said, resulted in an offer of a large sum if he will resign or go to Europe and remain there until his term shall have expired. Question in Sunday School A Sunday school superintendent, who happened to be a dry goods merchant, and who was teaching a class of very little tots, asked when he had finished explaining the lesson: "Now, has any one a question to ask?" A very small girl raised her hand. "What is it, Martha?" asked the superintendent. "Why, Mr. Brooks, how much are those little red parasols in your windows?" said Martha.—Current Literature. HO!

The king plays a hard volleying game, with good judgment in placing, and can hold his own with the best players in Portugal. Rate Reduction Increases Travel New Zealand made reductions on its railway passenger rates to the extent of about 35 per cent recently. It was calculated that the reduction would cause a decrease of revenue to the extent of £75,000. It hasn't panned out that way, however. Railway traveling has increased so much that the deficit has been wiped off, and a handsome increase of revenue—nearly £20,000—is expected ere the financial year is out.
