Jan. 31st - A better era for the negro in the S. was predicted by Mr. Booker T. Washington, president of the Tuskegee institute. "Everything that can happen to disrupt the relation between the race," said Dr. Washington, has already happened. We have reached, in my opinion the extreme of racial friction "The wisest people in the South must depend for years to come mainly upon the negro as a common and skilled laborer." A Dead Issue. There is at least one dead issue in Kans. and thats resubmission You couldn't raise it with block and tackle. For a quarter of a century the question came up regular before the legislatnre, but a measure to that effect wouldn't get past "first reader" before the present law - making bodies.

George Ade, the well known humorist and playwright, who is making a tour of the world; at present he is in Europe.

George Ade, the well known hum tour of the world; at present he is in as a newspaper reporter in Chicago; a and his income from royalties now rea HAS 683, ENGLAND GIVES $37,500,000 YEAR- LY TO PAUPERS. London Rate Is One to Fourteen— Hundreds of Thousands of the Public Charges Live on the Weekly Relief of $1.25. London.—Of every 14 persons in London one is a pauper. Of every 20 persons in all England and Wales one is a pauper. This is the summary of the blue book on poor law relief, issued by the local government board. Of the aggregate total relieved, 995,994 persons were members of 305,568 families. Indoor relief was given to 502,752 persons, and outdoor relief to 1,135,507. Nearly a third of the total of persons relieved received assistance during the year, and 12 per cent. were relieved for periods exceeding six months, but less than a year. Hence, says the report, more than two-fifths of the aggregate pauperism of the year was virtually of a permanent character. In other words, England has a standing army of 683,775 paupers, with more than 1,000,000 auxiliaries. The total amount of the pensions this year will be $37,500,000. Fourteen tons of silver money was handed out in payment of the first installment. Payments are made at the post offices. At many of the places lines were waiting long before the windows opened. Bent, feeble figures pressed tightly those ahead, and dim but eager eyes showed anxious doubt but that after all it might be but a dream too good to come true. A blind woman of 76, led in by a kindly neighbor, was the first arrival BAR TO AEROPLANE FLEET. British Physicist Says Talk of Use of Flying Machines Is Unfounded. London.—Lord Rayleigh made some interesting remarks with reference to aeroplanes and flying machines at the Royal society. This great physicist admits that in the technical sense the problem of flying through the air has been solved, but he evidently does not think that the invention will be of much practical use. He does not share the enthusiasm of the German emperor in anticipating that fleets of aeroplanes will soon be flying through the air. There is a large gulf to bridge, according to Lord Rayleigh, before flying machines can be made available for purposes of real utility. He does not entertain the idea that communications between different countries will be carried on by air-going ships. He thinks that they may be used for purposes of reconnoitering and exploring, but, in the latter case, no exploration on a large scale could be carried out, owing to the difficulty of carrying provisions. An aeroplane of enormous size is only able to carry two or three men, and would be, therefore, unable to take a large quantity of provisions for feeding them. Babe Born with a Tooth. Huntington, Ind.—Although weighing only two pounds at birth, the young child of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Krause is healthy and has four developed teeth. It possessed one tooth when it was born and in spite of being only two weeks old and not showing any signs of growing, it is cutting its teeth with remarkable rapidity. CHILD GETS KING'S LEGACY at one of the London offices. They told me I could send some one for it," she said, in a high quavering voice, "but I had to come myself." Next came a feeble old couple, arm-in-arm for mutual support. Three shillings and nine pence were handed to each of them. "Here, lass," said the old man, handing his money to his wife, "you be keeper of it all. Let your purse be fat for once." A woman whose certificate indicated 85 years remarked, as her five shillings were handed her: "Thank goodness—now I can have plum pudding every day!" The oldest pensioner at Wood Green was Mrs. Rebecca Clark, who is nearly 104. She walked to the nearest post office. A Nottingham pensioner was escorted to the post office by his fiancee, who he has promised to marry on the strength of setting a pension. Five shillings ($1,25) a week may not seem very much to some. But hundreds of thousands of poor people in Britain indicated in hundreds of thousands of quaint sayings and mannerisms that to them it means a comfortable competence. Mingled with the joys of the day were many sad incidents. The clause in the law which disqualifies for pensions all who have received poor relief within a year shuts out the most needy. The purpose of the clause is to keep the stigma of pauperism from the pensioners. But it works out in tragedies. One old miser owning real estate valued at £1,300 drew his pension. An old widow of one of his tenants, who had within the last year spent all the savings in her husband's sickness and burial, was evicted and forced to apply for poor-law relief, is excluded from the pension list. Bequest of Charles II. in 1651 Is Recently Paid in England. London.—The romantic story of a legacy left by Charles II. was told the other day. When fleeing from the battle of Worcester in 1651, Charles, as is well known, was assisted to a hiding place in an oak tree by Farmer Richard Pendrel. Charles granted the farmer's family six perpetual legacies, two of £100 a year and four of £1 a week. Nine-years ago a London fruit porter, Richard Penderel, died, leaving a four-year-old daughter unprovided for. HEIR TO FORTUNE IS VAGRANT. Refined and Educated Young Man Sent to Workhouse. Los Angeles, Cal.—Said by himself to be heir to half a million dollars and entitled to a position in Baltimore society, William Jefferson Powell has been sent to serve 180 days in the workhouse on a vagrancy charge. Powell, who is handsome, refined and well educated, says he will come into possession of a fortune at the age of 25 years. He will reach that age three months after he is released from the workhouse. Powell's parents are dead, he says, and he ran away from his guardian in 1903, enlisting in the Eighteenth battery, field artillery. He says he was sent to the Philippines and later to Vancouver barracks, Washington. When he got his discharge from the army, Powell says, he immediately enlisted in the navy. His love for a girl THE CHURCH OFFICE BUILDING. Skyscraper Edifice Only Remedy for William Penn Land Grant. 333 Of Pittsburg, Pa.—Having been blocked for many years by a clause placed in his land grant by William Penn, setting forth that the property must always be used for "church purposes," the congregation of the First German Evangelical Protestant church of Pittsburg has evolved a scheme. The congregation cannot sell this property save to another church, and this property has become by far too valuable for church purposes. So it has been decided to erect on this property, which is at Sixth avenue and Smithfield street, in the heart of the city, an office building which will include a most modern church, the church to be in the center and the office building to rise to the height of 14 stories around about it, taking in a quarter city block. The church-office building or office building church, will be one of the most unique. It will cost not less than $1,500,000 and will be devoted to department stores in all save the top or fourteenth floor, which will be a great convention hall—something that Pittsburg has sadly needed for years. The church effect, as seen by the picture, will rise only nine of the 14 stories. There will be a complete set of bell chimes in the steeple which will stand out from the front of the office building. COLLEGE GIRLS ENTER MILLS. Two Bryn Mawr Graduates Labor in Factories of Sixteen Towns. Philadelphia.—That actual knowledge might be obtained of conditions in factories and that they might enter into the daily life of the breadwinners, two graduates of Bryn Mawr college, Miss Fanny T. Cochran and Miss Florence L. Sanville, have found employment in the silk mills in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania. In a trip of three weeks the girls visited 16 towns, and when their day's work was done went home with the girls with whom they toiled and got glimpses into their social life, and the influences that surround them. This work was performed in the interest of the child labor bill, which has been prepared at the instance of the Consumers' league. "One of the most striking points in the physical tax upon the girls was the matter of seats," said Miss Cochran. "Several factories provided some sort of stool, bench, or empty box where the girls felt free to rest, but a chair with a back was unknown." Miss Cochran, and Miss Sanville found shocking sanitary and social conditions, some of which they declare bordered on the immoral. GIGANTIC BATHTUB FOR TAFT. Battleship Will Have Special Plan for Guest's Plunge. New York.—William H. Taft will have the use of the largest bathtub made for an individual during his forthcoming voyage on the battleship North Carolina from Charleston to Colon and back again. It is to be fitted specially for Mr. Taft's comfort, and if she should take a fancy to its pond-like dimensions, there is no reason why it should not be transferred from the North Carolina to the White House with other personal baggage of Mr. Taft's on March 4. In his trip around the world and on other cruises, Mr. Taft became thoroughly conversant with the size of ordinary line and warship bathtubs, and passed on to the shower as his sole opportunity for complete ablutions. From Norfolk an order for a bathtub, Taft size, was sent to New York, with instructions to find one. The tub has been found. It will hold four ordinary men and is the largest ever manufactured. His sister, the wife of a London cabman named Cassin, took the child into her own family, 'or which it was difficult enough to p ovide. The cabman's wife had heard something of Charles' legacy as a sort of family myth, but had never regarded it as serious. Pressed by hard times, on seeing a reference to the Penderel legacy in a newspaper, she began to make inquiries. Eventually she found her niece was entitled to a pound a week for life, while an accumulation of £200 was awaiting her. The trustees of the legacy were made her niece's guardians and they handed over the £200 to her. in San Diego, he says, caused him to desert and go there. For this desertion, he says, he was arrested and fined $100. After he had been arrested several times in Los Angeles, Powell was finally tried on a vagrancy charge and sent to the workhouse. Young Girl Is Shorthand Expert. San Francisco.—Ruth Ohlson, a 14-year-old San Francisco girl, established the world record for her age for rapid short-hand writing by writing in shorthand before Judge Thomas E. Graham, judge of the superior court, 850 words in five minutes and reading the same back correctly. The statutory requirements of the courts of this state are 750 words in five minutes. Miss Ohlson's record is phenomenal, as the matter read to and written by her was taken from a transcript of proceedings that the judge produced from the files of his office and was entirely strange to her.

Makes One of the Daintiest of All Breakfast Dishes. An omelet, made with finely chopped cold ham and chopped parsley, forms a dainty breakfast dish. Chop finely some pieces of cold ham and add a teaspoonful of chopped parsley and a seasoning of salt and pepper. Well whisk the whites and yolks of two eggs separately, add the beaten yolks to the chopped ham and just before cooking the omelet, quickly stir in the whites previously beaten to a stiff broth. Put a good sized piece of butter into the omelet pan and when the butter has melted, pour in the omelet. Stir the omelet with a spoon or fork one way till it begins to thicken and when the under part is nicely browned, turn the omelet over in oval-shape and serve immediately. BREAKFAST OR LUNCH DISH. Stuffed Kidneys a Welcome Addition to the Menu. Four or six small kidneys, two tablespoonfuls of butter, two ounces of bread crumbs, one teaspoonful chopped parsley, pepper and salt and a little lemon juice. Skin the kidneys and split them lengthwise, but not quite through. Leave enough to act as a sort of hinge. Rub them inside with melted butter, and broil them over a clear fire for ten minutes. Have ready the stuffing of crumbs, parsley and butter, well seasoned with salt and pepper. Heat in a small sancepan and add the lemon juice. Dish the kidneys and put some of this mixture inside each. Fold them over, sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve very hot. Brown Bread Pudding. Take about half a loaf of bread and cut into slices, or use left-over pieces; spread each piece with butter and lay in a pan. Pour over this enough cold water to cover well and let soak about five minutes. In the meantime break one egg into your pudding pan and beat it well; add one-half cup brown sugar, one-half corn sirup, one-third teaspoon each of cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg, powdered; then lightly squeeze out the water from the bread by handful, crumbling it into the other mixture. Be careful to get all the butter that may come off into the water. Mix well and bake one hour. Sauce: One quart water, butter size of a walnut, half cup vinegar, three-fourths cup sugar; jet boll a few minutes and thicken with two tablespoons flour rubbed smooth in a little cold water. Take from stove and add one teaspoonful vanilla. To Clean Sponges. Soiled sponges can be quickly freshened by rubbing the juice of a lemon well into them then rinsing several times, first in hot water and then in cold. Too much care cannot be taken to keep a sponge absolutely fresh, as microbes are apt to congregate otherwise. An occasional sunbath is excellent and a thorough washing with ammonia water every few weeks should not be omitted. In using a sponge for a young child, or indeed for anyone, no matter how carefully it is supposed to be washed, it should be run through very hot water before using. Ham Fritters. Heat to boiling point one cupful of stock. Thicken with a tablespoonful each of flour and butter cooked together, and add to it one cupful of cold cooked chopped ham, one egg well beaten, and dry mustard and Worces terschire sance to season. ```markdown ``` EXTRAORDINARY INCREASE IN FARM LANDS. "SOUTHERN ALBERTA IS A MIGHTY GOOD COUNTRY." No stronger or better evidence can be given of the merits of a country than that which comes from the testimony of the settler who has determined to succeed. This is why we reproduce the following letter, which speaks for itself. These people were induced to go to Western Canada through the solicitation of a Canadian Government agent, who secured for them the low railway rates. "Carmangay, Alta, Canada, 12-15-08. "Mr. C. J. Broughton, Canadian Government Agency, 135 Adams Street, Chicago: We had audacity enough to tackle the proposition of buying four sections of land in Southern Alberta, thirty miles east of Clairsholm and heading up on the Little Bow, and our two boys each got a homestead adjoining. We fenced three sections and the two homesteads, and built a house, barn, corrals and granary, and have since enlarged some of these buildings. We have broken 200 acres of land, which has been sowed to oats and wheat. During the severe winter of two years ago the winter wheat killed out somewhat, and our crop yielded only ten bushels to the acre, but the spring wheat went 24 bushels to the acre. In this country we must be prepared for storms and cold, at times 20 to 30 below zero, yet on the whole the winters are mild; and while there are exceptional crops, it is fair to say that the average farmer can depend on having a yield in average years of from 20 to 25 bushels to the acre for spring wheat; and winter wheat in our immediate neighborhood yields from 25 to 30 bushels to the acre on the average. --- We have now quite a bunch of horses, over 50 in all, about 350 sheep, after having soled 140 for mutton this fall. We have 20 head of pure breed registered Shropshire, which are worth $20 each. The average price received for mutton sheep was $5.00 and a little over. Pork brings 5 and 6 cents a pound. We have about 30 head of cattle on our ranch now, and last winter they picked their entire living from our pasture, running to the straw stacks for shelter at night. "The increase of land values has been extraordinary. Our land four years ago cost us a little less than $6.00 an acre. We have sold one section for $15.00, but we would not sell any more for less than $25.00 per acre, as we expect the railroad within four miles of our ranch within the next 18 months. Southern Alberta of Western Canada is a mighty good country for any man or woman who loves outdoor life, and who wants to get good returns for their labor and investment. "We have been pleased wif'h our treatment from the Canadian Government, and can heartily commend Southern Alberta as a splendid country in which to locate. "Yours very truly, (Signed) "JAMES S. AINSLIE AND SONS." Laughter in the Court. An old plasterer is called upon to give evidence for the plaintiff. Counsel for the defense tries to bully him. "Have you ever been in prison?" "Yes, twice." "Ah! how long the first time?" "One whole afternoon." "What! And the second time?" "Only one hour." "And pray what offense had you committed to deserve so small a punishment?" "I was sent to prison to white-wash a cell to accommodate a lawyer who had cheated one of his clients." With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-waist just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the iron. And He Probably Did. "What can I do," roared the fiery orator, "when I see my country going to ruin, when I see our oppressors' hands at our throats, strangling us, and the black clouds of hopelessness and despair gathering on the horizon to obliterate the golden sum of prosperity? What, I ask, can I do?" "Sit down!" shouted the audience. DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS FOR ALL KIDNEY DISEASES FOR RHEUMATISM BRIGHT'S DISEASE DIABETES. BAGKAGNE PER 375 "Guaranteed Beware of the Cough that hangs on persistently, breaking your night's rest and exhausting you with the violence of Fiso's care. A degree of Fiso's Care will relieve wonder any cough, no matter how far advanced or serious, surfaces, clears the clogged air passages and the cough disappears. A Busy Office. When the third assistant postmaster general makes his annual report to his chief, the introduction reads like the list of titles of an Oriental potentate, for it summarizes the subjects with which that office has to do. Here are just a few of them: The classification of domestic mail-matter, including the determination of the admissibility of publications to the second-class rates, the hearing of cases involving the withdrawal of those rates, use of penalty envelopes, and the franking privilege, questions involving limit of weight, the financial system—and this in itself is an enormous business—the supervision of the manufacture of stamps, stamp-books, stamped envelopes, newspaper wrappers and postal cards, money-order and registry system. This year the deficit of the department is the largest yet—nearly $17,000,000. The most of the increase over last year is due to the action of congress in raising the salaries of postmasters and other employees of the department and the rest to the extension of postal facilities. The constant study to bring the department into closer touch with the people, remarks the Youth's Companion, is shown in numerous little things mentioned in the report, for example, new postal cards, with space for message on the address side; changes in stamped envelopes which will permit choice of paper by the purchaser, and the printing of advertising matter upon them; permission to perforate postage stamps for purposes of identification. This has hitherto been withheld, but is granted now partly because so many office boys steal stamps—a curious commentary on the class of boys who are entering business. A celebrated palmist, mind reader and, general second-story worker of those who were weak in the second story has decamped from Paris, taking with him, to show that he was a thoughtful man, the fortunes of two confiding young women as well as what small change he could pick up. Eternal vigilance on the part of the police will not keep some persons from giving their money to crooks and fakers whose only excuse for getting it is that they appear to want it. A curly mustache, a dark rolling eye and an office fitted up with a few charts of the stars is all the capital needed to make a living by the man who is on. He doesn't have to know much of anything except human nature. With a general understanding of that and of the desire of the owner of the human nature to give away his or her money, the wonder worker gazes into the future and sees nothing but a life of ease for himself. In his own case his prediction comes nearer panning out than do many predictions that he sells to customers for a neat price. Ski-Riding Now in Vogue. Norwegian ski-riding, or ski-jumping as it is popularly termed in America, is a manly and healthful sport which, in the northwest at least, has come to stay. The ski in this country are usually made of birch, ash, or hickory, as pine or soft wood ski prove very expensive articles; they break easily and may be the cause of serious accidents. Birch makes a very good ski, possibly the best for ladies, as it is lighter than the wood used by the professional rider, namely, hickory. The white ash is used mostly by boys, as it is more durable than birch and less expensive than hickory. The jumping ski, says Recreation, should be as long as the height of the man plus the distance he can reach with extended arms overhead, usually $7\frac{1}{2}$ to $8\frac{1}{2}$ feet. The ski for distance traveling are usually longer. They weigh from seven to eight pounds each, a heavier ski being rather better for jumping. A supreme court judge in Brooklyn set aside a will under unusual circumstances. The testator had directed his property to be invested and the income devoted to the care of his burial lot. The judge ordered the estate to be distributed among his immediate heirs on the ground that so purely a selfish disposition of property was too much opposed to public policy and duty to humanity to permit. The needs of the living, he said, were paramount to the claims of the dead. This sounds like the sound plain sense on which law is supposed to be based, remarks the Boston Herald. The man who still monopolizes his property even after death should have such post mortem power of absorption taken by the law. The survivors of Messina are already holding meetings and conferences about rebuilding the city. These are not times when the world sits down and wails helplessly over misfortune. It is distinctly, as every great, disaster proves, an age of effort and hope. The ivory nut, which is so much used by button manufacturers, is the fruit of a species of palm which grows in Central and South America. It form a valuable crop, particularly in Panama, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. NEWS OF THE WEEK Lost Important Happenings of the Past Seven Days.

FINE RECIPE FOR COLDS Mix half ounce of Concentrated pine compound with two ounces of glycerine and a half pint of good whiskey. This simple mixture is to be used in doses of a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful four times a day. The bottle should be well shaken each time. Any druggist can supply the ingredients and it can be mixed at home. The Concentrated pine is a pine product refined for medical use. It comes only in half ounce bottles, each enclosed in a round case, which is airtight and, retains all the original strength in the fluid, but be sure it is labeled "Concentrated" in order to get the genuine article. Comparisons Necessary. "We find repeatedly how imperfectly figures convey to the ordinary mind the magnitude of objects," says the Welt Spiegel, "and how much more readily they are comprehended by comparison." To substantiate the assertion a picture is produced of the cathedral at Cologne, which is 160 meters in height, and next to it is placed a picture of the Zeppelin airship, standing on end, reaching away beyond the middle of the highest section of the steeple, and to within 26 meters of the apex. The picture also shows the Triumphal column at Berlin, 61 meters in height, and next to it the airship Parsifal, 50 meters high, as it stands on end. THE PERUNA ALMANAC. The druggists have already been supplied with the Peruna almanac for 1909.

Muskogee, Ok., Feb. 4.—Seven In- dictments were returned by the fed- eral grand jury here last night in the town lot alleged fraud investigation, the charge being conspiracy to defraud the government. The names of those indicted are: Governor Charles N. Haskell, F. B. Severs, C. W. Turner, W. T. Hutchings, Walter R. English, Jesse W. Hill and Walter R. Eaton, Attorney Thomas Owen of Musko- gee, representing Governor Haskell, made arrangements for the governor's appearance Friday morning to enter his appearance and give bond in the sum of $5,000 for appearance for trial. : The writs are returnable forthwith. Governor Haskell is at Guthrie, the state capital. There is but one in dictment against him, charging him with conspiring with Walter R. Eaton and Clarence W. Turner to defraud the government. There are two in- dictments against Turner and one against ‘each of the others. Turner was first to give bond in the sum of $10,000. Hutchings and Eaton followed and gave bond in the sum of $5,000 each. All will probably be arraigned befcre Judge Campbell Friday morning. Still More Work. The report of the grand jury was made before Robert E. Campbell of the United States court. The jury was instructed to report for duty again Monday morning, which gives rise to the impression that only a parttal 7¢ port had been made in the town lot cases. Later it was learned that the jury is to consider matters other than the town lot frauds next week. Sev: eral of those who, it was expected, would be indicted, escaped because the evidence did not show that they "were identified with the alleged con spiracy. Walter R. Eaton, one of the men in- dicted, is a brotherintaw of W. R. Ritchie, of Lima, Ohio. He is the secretary of the Indianola Contracting company, of which Governor Haskell is president and which, it is alleged scheduled the names of many “dum: mies” to secure town lots. James W. Hill, another of the indicted, came here from Texas and became identi fied with the Muskogee Development company. “Assistant Attorney General Sylves ter R, Rush, elated over his success in securing indictments here, left to night for his home in Omaha, Neb. Assistant Attorney General 0. B Pagan, who drew up the indictments, will leave today for New York. Report Unexpected. The report of the jury in the town lot matter came at a time wholly un: expected by the public, as the govern. ment had announced only two hours before that other witnesses were com ing from Missouri and Obio. There were not more than twenty persons in the court room when the report was made. Fifteen of the wealthiest men in Muskogee called at the office of the United States marshal here last night and signed Governor Haskell’s bond for $5,000. Many more asked to b- allowed to sign it, but there was no more space on the document. Haskell’s Statement. Guthrie Oklahoma, Feb. 3—Gover nor Haskell, when informed that he was indicted, issued the following statement to the Associnted Press: “I have just heard of the indictment for conspiracy, coupled with seven or eight of the oldest and highest char acter citizens of Muskogee, men wh« developed and built up that country by their unselfish effort. From now ‘on the proceedings will be open tc both sides, “Hearst's crooked manipulators will be at a discount. “I am satisfied the interior denart- ment has been misled by false state- ments. I am confident there has not been a dishonest act dore by any of the indicted parties, and that good ci’- izens in general, regardless of politics, feel the same way. (Signed) “C. N.

THE RETRACTION WAS WORSE. Second Statement “Piled Up the Agony” on Rival Editor.

Pressure was brought to bear on him, and finally he agreed to retract that statement. In his retraction he said: “We find that we were mistaken when we safd in last week's issue that the Clarion editor's papa had passed 37 ‘summers in the penitentiary.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound?” If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar to her sex will ask her ney bho this question, she will be surprised at the result. There is hardiy a community in this country where women cannot be found who have been restored to health by this famous old sand made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs. During the past 30 years we have published thousands of letters from these grateful women who have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and never in all that time have we published a testimonial without the writer’s special permission. Never have we knowingly published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine. Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's experi- ence with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound write and ask her. Houston, Texas.—“ When I first began taking Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I had been sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia, and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor’s medicines, but nothing did me any good. “For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would never get well, when I read an advertisment of Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it. “My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman and enjoy the best of health. “J advise all women suffering from such troubles to give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial. ‘They won’t regret it, for it will surely cure you.”—Mrs, Bessie L. Hicks, 819 Cleveland St., Houston.
