WOMEN WHO CHARM
HEALTH IS THE FIRST ESSENTIAL
It Helps Women to Win and Hold
Men's Admiration, Respect and Love
Woman's greatest gift is the power to
inspire admiration, respect, and love.
There is a beauty in health which is
more attractive to men than mere regu
larity of feature.
To be a successful wife, to retain the
love and admiration of her husband,
should be a woman's constant study.
At the first indication of ill-health,
painful or irregular periods, head
ache or backache, secure Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
begin its use.
Mrs Chas. F. Brown, Vice-President
Mothers' Club, 21 Cedar Terrace, Hot
Springs, Ark., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkliam:—
"For nine years I dragged through a miser
able existence, suffering with inflammation
and female weakness and worn out with
pain and weariness. 1 one flay noticed a state
ment by a woman suffering as I was, but wh«
had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound, and i determined to try it.
At the end of three months; 1 was a different
woman. Every one remarked about it, and
my husband fell in love with me all over
again. Lvdia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound built uj) niv entire system, cured the
trouble, and I felt like a new woman. lam
rure it will make every suffering woman
strong, well and happy, as it has me."
Women who are troubled with pain
ful or irregular periods, backache,
bloating (or flatulence), displacements,
inflammation or ulceration, that "bear
ing-down "feeling, dizziness,faintness,
indigestion, or nervous prostration
may be restored to perfect health
and strength by taking Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
COPPER SAFE FROM LIGHTNING.
Belief Firmly Held in Many Part» of
the Country.
"This matter of superstitions is a
queer thing," said the man as he care
fully avoided walking under a ladder,
"for even those of us who are skeptics
have at least one superstitious failing,
and mine is walking under ladders.
"In the country this summer I met
& new one, which was firmly believed
in by several farmers, and that was
that a thunder storm never passed
over a copper mine or copper vein.
The old fellow who told me about it
pointed out again and again that al
though black clouds might roll up and
lightning flash, the storm always went
around a certain spot in his farm.
"Such actions on the part of a thun
der storm could mean but one thing,
he said —that there was a copper vein
there. So sure was he of it, that he
was putting by a little each year to
have the spot investigated to see if
there was copper enough in It to
work."
Tricks of Smugglers.
Double-bottomed bottles and other
vessels are common contrivances for
smugglers. In order not to awaken
suspicion they are usually filled with
some beverage, beer or wine, and this
is duly declared by the man in charge
of the vehicle in which they are car
ried. At the present time, however,
the officers are never deceived by the
double-bottomed bottles, nor, for that
matter, by the hollow horse collar,
which at one time was a favorite dodge
for the alcohol smuggler.
RUN DOWN FROM GRIP
Or. Williams' Pink Pills Have Cured
This Form of Debility in
Hundreds of Cases.
"Four years ago," says Mrs. F. Mor
rison, of No. 1922 Carson street, South
Side, Pittsburg, Pa., "I took a cold
which turned into the grip. This trouble
left me all run down. I was thin, had
backache much of the time, had no ap
petite, my stomach was out of order and
I felt nervous and unstrung.
"While I had the grip I had a doctor,
but I really suffered more from the con
dition in which the influenza left me
than I did from the disease itself. I felt
generally wretched and miserable and
the least exposure to cold would make
me worse. I couldn't seem to get any
better until I begaif to take Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. I very quickly noticed a
benefit after I began takiug them and
they restored me to good health and
strength. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are
a wonderfully good medicine. Thanks
to them I am now in fine health and
have had noreturn of my former trouble.
I recommend the pills to everyone who
is ailing and take every opportunity to
let people know how good they are."
Dr. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Morrison because they actually make
good, red blood. When the blood is red
and healthy there can bo no debility.
The relation between the blood and
uervous system is such that the pills
have a very decided action upon the
nerves and they have cured many severe
nervous disorders, such as partial pa
ralysis, locomotor ataxia and St. Vitus'
dance, that have not yielded to ordinary
treatment. Their double action, on the
blood and on the nerves, makes them an
ideal tonic.
All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, or they will he seut by mail post
paid, on receipt of price, .00 cents pei

liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y.
THE HEMLOCK FIR.
Some Facts Regarding This Valuable
and Graceful Tree.
The hemlock fir, Tsuga Canadensis,
is a tall evergreen tree reaching a
height of 80 to 100 feet, with a trunk
diameter of four feet. The young
branches are slender and drooping at
the tips, making it the most graceful
of our native evergreens. The general
appearance of the foliage is softer and
The Hemlock.
more plume-liko than the spruces and
balsam firs. The leaves are flat, blunt,
slightly above one-half an inch long, 1
dark green above and palo beneath,!
being so arranged, by the twisting of
their short petioles, as to appear two
ranked, thus giving a flat appearance
to the twig. The cones are as long or
slightly longer than the leaves, while
the scales are broad and obtuse. They
hang from the tips of the branches and
often persist for months after the:
seeds have fallen. The wood is light
brown, brittle and coarse grained, j
weighing 26 pounds to the cubic foot. l
It is employed in the building of barns I
and other rough buildings. The range !
of the hemlock is from Nova Scotia to
Minnesota and south to Alabama.
The hemlock" is not recognized by
the United States Pharmacopoeia as
having any medicinal properties, nor
does the oil of hemlock appear on its I
list of organic drugs, but the bark of
the tree is used for tanning on account
of the large per cent, of tannin con- j
tained therein.
NO USELESS SOIL.
All Land Will Pay Reclaiming It Is
Thought.
Gullies on hilly, rolling land can he j
stopped and the land reclaimed by 1
putting a light coat of timothy hay in
the bottom of the ditch after the j
rainy reason is passed. In the Win- j
1 ter, feed cattle on the land by put- ;
ting the hay in the ditches. I have j
had ditches on my farm that were
once usless but have been reclaimed
and now produce one and one-half
tons of hay to the acre. Never plow
in the gullies, but plow up and down
i the hill beside them. Never plow
; closer than two feet to the edge of the
ditches. Each year let the grass strip
j get a little wider. Thus your high
, land will gradually level up. I have
i some land that had been gullied but
! has now been producing grass for the
: past 20 years. Once a set of grass has
been obtained in the gullies, never
i plow it up. The hay will always be
i getting better in the main leads, and
the smaller ones will be improving
through the process of feeding hay to
the cattle. All land will pay reclaim
ing, declares the Farmers' Review.
Very poor land gullies worst. Manure
| from stables where the milch cows are
fed hay is the very best manure for
reclaiming such land.
FARM NOTES.
Hitch your horses in the field. A
strap and weight cost little. They
may save dollars where they cost
cents.
Remember that the slightest touch
of frost on the top of a squash will
spoil its keeping qualities. If there
is danger of a frosty night, and you
do not wish to gather them, throw a
j bran sack over each one.
Don't fool any time away with the
glib-tongued stranger who wants to
sell you a mining stock that is going
to double itself next week, or any in
vestment that promises a big per cent.,
for the chances are that he cannot de
liver the goods.
He careful about fixing traps for
yourself when you are carrying bags
of grain into the granary. Make a
good, solid set of steps. Many have
fallen and broken their limbs or hurt
themselves for life by trusting ttfram
shackle ladders. Don't you be one of
them.
Draining makes heavy soil better
How? Makes it dry in wet times; il
can be worked earlier in the spring;
the land will not bake; it is warmer;
it is more productive. Any land on
your farm that needs draining? Now
is the time to do it.

Treasures for the Louvre.
Attention is called by the Travelers'
Gazette to recent acquisitions hy the
Louvre, notably of a life size bust in
chalk, primitively colored, of the her
mit king of the eighteenth dynasty,
Akhoumalon, or Amenophis IV., one of
the strangest figures in the long line
of the Pharaohs. The bust is a re
markably fine specimen of tho art of
the period, and is well preserved. Be
sides this, there are four sepulchral
urns in blue porcelain from the tomb
of Rameses 11. In these urns was
found, besides funeral linen, certain
organic matter, which is being chem
ically examined.
DAY OF TRIUMPH POSTPONED.
Dudekins Has Yet to Get Even with
Witty Charmer.
She had been having fun with poor
Dudekins for a long time, and he was
wishful to get even with her. His
idea took the form of a brilliant conun
drum, whose answer Dudekins
thought was locked in his manly chest.
"I have a conundrum for you, Miss
Frances," he said, when he next met
her.
"Ah!" she responded. "What is it?
W'ho gave it to you?"
"I made it up myself!" he asserted,
bridling somewhat.
"Indeed! What is it?"
"Why are ray clothes like tho
moon?"
She hesitated a moment, and Dude
kins began to look triumphant.
"You may think," she said, slowly—
and Dudekins somehow felt the sand
slipping from under him—"it is be
cause they have a man in them, and
you have a perfect right to think as
you please. But, Mr. Dudekins, opin
ions differ!"
INTERESTING CONTEST.
Heavy Cost of Unpaid Postage.
One of the most curious contests
ever before the public was conducted
by many thousand persons under the
offer of the Postuin Cereal Co., Ltd.,
of Battle Creek, Mich., for prizes of
31 boxes of gold and 300 greenbacks
to those making the most words out
of the letters Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts.
The contest was started in Febru
ary, 1906, and it was arranged to have
the prizes awarded on Apr. 30, 190 G.
When the public announcement ap
peared many persons began to form
the words from these letters, some
times the whole family being occupied
evenings, a combination of amuse
ment and education.
After a while the lists began to
come into the Postum Office and be
fore long the volume grew until Lt re
quired wagons to carry the mail.
Many of the contestants were thought
less enough to send their lists with
insufficient postage and for a period
it cost the Company from twenty-five
to fifty-eight and sixty dollars a day
to pay the unpaid postage.
Young ladies, generally those who
had graduated from the high school,
were employed to examine these lists
and count the correct words. Web
ster's Dictionary was the standard
and each list was very cardftilly cor
rected except those which fell below
8000 for lt soon became clear that
nothing below that could win. Some
of the lists required the work of a
young lady for a solid week on each
individual list. The work was done
very carefully and accurately but the
Company had no idea, at the time the
offer was made, that the people would
respond so generally and they were
compelled to fill every available space
in the offices with these young lady
examiners, and notwithstanding they
worked steadily, it was impossible
to complete the examination until
Sept. 29, over six months after the
prizes should have been awarded.
This delay caused a great many in
quiries and naturally created some
dissatisfaction. It has been thought
best to make this report in practically
all of the newspapers in the United
States and many of the magazines in
order to make clear to the people the
conditions of the contest.
Many lists contained enormous
numbers of words which, under the
rules, had to bo eliminated "Pegger"
would count "Peggers" would not.
Some lists contained over 50,000
words, the great majority of which
were cut out. The largest lists were
checked over, two and in some cases
three times to insure accuracy.
The SIOO.OO gold prize was won by
L. D. Reese, 1227-15 th St., Denver,
Colo., with 9941 correct words. The
highest SIO.OO gold prize went to S.
K. Fraser, Lincoln, Pa., with 9921 cor
rect words.
A complete list of the 331 winners
with tbeir home addresses will be
sent to any contestant enquiring on a
postal card.
He sure and give name and address
clearly.
This contest has cost the Co. many
thousand dollars, and probably has
not been a profitable advertisement,
nevertheless perhaps some who had
never before tried Grape-Nuts food
have been interested in the contest.,
and from trial of the food have been
shown its wonderful rebuilding pow
ers.
It teaches in a practicable manner
that scientifically gathered food ele
ments can be selected from the field
grains, which nature will use for re
building the nerve centres and brain
in a way that is unmistakable to
users of Grape-Nuts.

Kept Tax Receipts Long.
Charles King, of East Liberty, a
suburb of Pittsburg, Is what might be
termed a careful man. He has been a
voter in t.hs East Liberty district since
1857 and when asked on the last reg
istration day if he had a tax receipt
he pulled from a pocket tax receipts
for the last 41 years. When asked by
the registrar if he had any more he
replied that if he went down deep in
to his "strong box" at home he might
possibly find a few dating long back
before the oldest member of the board
was born. Mr. King is now 78 years
old. having been born in Baltimore in
1828, removing to East Liberty in
1857. His first presidential vote was
cast for John G. Fremont and his last
for Theodore Roosevelt. He is a
stanch Republican and as a contractor
and brick manufacturer for half a cen
tury has contributed much to the up
building and growth of East Liberty.
Microbe of Gray Hair.
They have discovered a new mic
robe in New York and It is quite popu
lar among actors and society women.
It is called the chromophage, Its spe
cial function being to turn the hair
gray at a comparatively early age. The
handsome actor who has those white
hairs on his temple that the women
admire so is full of the chromophages.
Baldheaded men are immune from the
microbes. He only attacks the hair,
and a man without hair need not wor
ry about the chromophage. For years
it was thought that a .process of the
blood killed the coloring matter of the
hair cells, but scalpologists in Mew
York combat that theory. They say
it is the chromophage. The microbe
does not like heat and for that reason
the woman who uses the curling tongs
is less likely to have gray hair than
the one who puts her hair up in pa
pers.

Lower Animals In Sickness.
Man mißht often take from the low-
I er animals a lesson as to the care of
himself when ill. All sorts of animals
I suffering from fever eat little; lie
i quiet in dark, airy places, and drink
quantities of water. When a dog loses
| his appetite he knows where to find
t dog grass, which acts as a purgative
and emetic. Sheep and cows, when
ill, seek certain herbs. Any animal
I suffering from chronic rheumatism
keeps as far as possible from the
sun. If a chimpanzee be wounded he
has been seen to stop the bleeding by
a plaster of chewed-up leaves and
I grass.
