tore worann's henlth wo know of no better or more inspiring mediclno than
Lydla E. l'inkhnm's Vegetable Compound. Your ailment taken in tlrao can ba
thrown off, if neglected It will run on into great suffering and pain.
Here is an illustration. Miw. Lucy GoonvviN. Holly, W. Va., says:
" I suffered with nervous prostrntion, fnlntness, all-gone feeling nnd palpi
tation of tho heart. I could not stand but a few moments at a time without
having that terrible bearing-down sensation.
"When I commenced taking Lydla E. l'inkhnm's Vegetable Compound I
only weighed 108 pounds, and could not sit up half a doy; before, however, I
had used a whole bottle, t was able to bo aoout. I took in all about three bot
tles of tho Compound, and am entirely cured; now I weigh 131 pounds and feel
like a new woman, stronger and better than ever In my life."
So it tiansplres that becnuse of tho virtues of Mrs. Pinkham's wonderful
Compound, even a very cick woman can be cured and live to a green old ago.
An excellent programme will be ren

"I used about 30,000 cancelled post
age stamps In making my dress, and I
would not mnke nnother like It for
$100." said 'JfLss Antoinette iWarlltz
yesterday. She was the winner of tho
first prize at the Harmonla masked
ball.
The Idea of the postage Btamp dress
was suggested to Miss Warlltz by a
friend who hnd seen one nt a masked
ball In Vlennn. Miss Wurlltz thought
It worth repeating, nnd appealed to her
friends for nld In collecting stamps
stamps of all countries United States
ordinary stamps, revenue or speclnl de
livery, Spanish, French. Swiss, Italian,
DutchTGermnn, even Chinese nny old
thing was acceptable, Just so It was a
stamp. A few of the .10,000 weio bought
from stamp collectors, Tho most val
uable, fo far ns face value goes, were
a 15-cent United States stamp and a
25-cent Mexican one, but some of the
foreign stnmps were quite rare and
could not be replaced for nnythlng like
their face value.
Five weeks were spent In ptnmp col
lecting and three In making the dress,
which consisted of a short, full Bklrt
nnd round waist with long, full sleeves.
The foundation of the dress wns mus
lin. On this the stamps were pasted
nnd not an Inch of the muslin was left
uncovered. The skirt was cut by a cir
cular pattern, and after It was fitted
the design on the front was drawn up
on it In pencil. Every detail of the de
sign was carried out accurately.
In the centre of the front breadth
war an cacle, made of brown Colum
bian stamps. Suspended from the tal
ons was a globe made of very old tw o
cent blue revenue stamps, the merid
ians Twins outlined by the narrow
title borders cut from Columbian
stnmps. On either Bide tho globe was
an American flag, the stripes of blue
ono-cent stnmps and red two-cent
Btamps; the stars of the blue stamps.
Except where it was tnken up oy
the design the skirt was striped not
up and down, but around. It was fin
ished at the bottom by a border of
brown Columbian stamps, 100 in num
ber. Above this were three rows of
the red two-cent stamps, then another
row or tho uoiumoinn, men more ui i
tho red, nnd so on to the top.
Blue Instead of brown Columbian
stamps were used In one of the rows:
In another the large green medallions
cut out of the stamped envelopes, and
In another a series of stamps of all
values, from 1 up to 15 cents.
The foreign stnmps were pasted on
the bodice In the form of a shield, the
centre of which was made up of por
traits of Washington cut from revenue
stamps. The full sleeves were made of
blue and red stamps and were finished
at the hand with a cuff of foreign
stamps.
The bodlco was fastenfwl In the back,
nnd after It was on a strip of stamps
had to be pasted on to hide the fasten
ings. A large Leghorn hat covered entirely
with red nnd blue stamps wns worn
with tho costume, and a pink mask.nnd
a round fan covered with red stamps,
was carried. Over the shoulder was
slung a tiny red mall box, with the
letter U. S. M. in gilt on It
The wearer of this unique costume
is a daughter of Dr. Gustav Warlttz,
of 27 North High street. Miss Warlltz
hna big brown eyes and dark hair, but
to complete her disguise she wore a
blondo wig, and even her best frfends
were umazed when she unmasked.
Miss Warlltzs mother and sister
helped her to make the dress, but the
plan was kept a close secret, and when
ever visitors would come In the dress
would be hustled out of sight. After
everything was finished it seemed aa
though the trouble had been for noth
ing, for the paste used had stiffened
the skirt so that it stood out like a
balloon. A kindly disposed rainy dny
took out the superfluous stiffness, how
ever, and reduced tho refractory gown
to somethlnk like submission.
THE OHIO SENATE
Elects the Hon. John E. Smiley
us Its Clerk.
i National Spring Remedy.
The distinguished member of the
Ohio senate, Hon. John E. Smiley, In
writing of Pe-ru-na, gave It as his
opinion that It Is the gieatest remedy
of tho age. In saying this of course he
Is but iclteiatlng what thousands of
other people are saying, and the chief
interest which nttaches to his state
ment Is the authority which his posi
tion gives to It, Such men would not
write such things except there was
considerable enthusiastic belief behind
It. Ho goes on to say that Pe-ru-na Is
an excellent lemedy for catarrh, es
pecially catarrhal diseases of the stom
ach. As this happens to be a ery
prevalent disease in the spring of tho
year, this remark Is especially timely
It Is catarrh of the stomach that pro
duces the indigestion of springtime,
for which It Is quite common to take
some spring medicine. Pe-ru-na does
not temporarily relieve these symp
toms, but cures them by removing the
cause, Pe-ru-na Is not a physic or
nervine, or a stimulant merely, but Is
a natural lnvlgorator of the whole sys
tem Mr. Smiley goes on further to
say that, as a tonic, he believes Pe-ru-na
has no equal. Ills remark lb en
tirely true, Pe-ru-na is an ldenl spring
tonic, and is rapidly becoming the most
popular medicine In the vvoild for this
purpose.
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company, of Columbus, Ohio, are
sending free a volume of similar tes
timonials, entitled The National Wit
ness. Send for a copy of It before the
edition Is exhausted.
