While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it does not seem to be the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. Menstrua- tion is a severe strain on a woman’s vitality. Ifit is painful or irregular something is wrong which should be set right or it will lead to a serisus de- rangement of the whole female organ- ism. More than fifty thousand women have testified in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound overcomes pain- ful and irregular menstruation. It provides. a safe and sure way of es- cape from distressing and dangerous weaknesses and diseases. The two following letters tell so con- vincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham'’s Vegetable Compound will do for women, they cannot fail to bring hope | to thousands of sufferers. Miss Nellie Holmes of 540 N. Davi- sion Street, Buffalo, N. Y., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — * Your medicine isindeed aun ideal medicine for women. I suffered misery for years with painful periods, headaches, and bearing-down pales consulted two different physicians ut failed to > et any relief. A friend from the East advised me to try Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound. did so, and no longer suffer as I did before. My periods are natural; every ache and pain is gone, and oy general health is much improved. I dvise ail women who suffer to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.” Mrs. Tillie Hart, of Larimore, N. D., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — “I might bave have been spared many months of suffering and pain had I only known of the efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound sooner; for I have tried so many remedies without help. ‘I dreaded the approach of my menstrual period every month, as it meant so much pain and suffering for me, but after 1 had used the Compound two months I became regular and natural and am now perfectly well and free from pain at my menthly Rerjoes. Iam very grateful for what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound has done for me.” Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound stands without a peer asa remedy for all the distressing ills of ‘women. The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound rests upon the well-earned gratitude of American women. When women are troubled with irreg- ular, suppressed or painful menstrua- tion, leucorrhcea, displacement or ul- ceration of the womb, that bearing- down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating, (or flatu- lency), general debility, indigestion and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, ner- vousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, they should remember thereis one tried and true remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine, for youneed the best. | Don’t hesitate to write to Mrs. Pinkham if there is anything about your sickness you do not understand. She will treat you with kindness and her advice is tree. No woman ever regretted writing her and she has helped thousands. Address Lynn, Mass.

Mitchell died in Chica- go a few days ago, and the members of the Chicago Board of Trade made up a fund to bury him. Mitchell died a pauper. Mitchell was once a great man. Where the names of Gates, Morgan, Armour and other stock plungers are now printed Mitchell’s name was printed 3v years ago. Mit- chell was a big grain operator in Chi- cago, when Fisk and Gould were pil- ing up money in railroads in New York. In 1868 he “cornered” the wheat market in Chicago. He had a company of fellow-conspiraters against consumers. They shot, the prices skyhigh. Mitchell made a mil- lion or more. Then he went into the market as a bigger plunger. He was betrayed and sold out and found him- self penniless. That was 35 years ago. Mitchell for 10 years sought to regain his fortune, but he was out- classed by keener minded men. Then he became a pauper. And every man that bas tried to “corner” a food product has died poor. > Ivory Congratulations, ‘A very famous American dentist met the English husband of an American friend of mine with the genial congra- tulation: “My dear sir, I wish you joy!

Whenthis tube is in- flamed you have a rumblingsound or imper- fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflam- mation can be taken out and this tube re- stored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.

The upper class in England is sink- ing; the middle is rising rapidly, and those who belong to the former keep shops in assumed mames, while those who belong to the latter endeavor to conceal that they themselves are con- nected with trade. The conversation of both, however, betrays that they are shopkeepers,—Longon ¢Truth, The Diet of Nations. The German, after all, is not the champion beer-drinker. That honor rests with the Britisher, who drinks three gallons a year more than the Teuton. On the other hand, the Frenchman eats nearly twice as much bread as the Britisher and an Ameri- can 50 per cent more meat than a citizen of the United Kingdom. The English are, however, the greatest tea- drinkers and sugar-consumers in the world, though they only drink two quarts of wine a head where the thirs- ty Spaniard imbibes 36 gallons. Cannot Reduce a Rate. It is stated in Washington that un- der the Townsend rate bill if a rate is fixed by the commission it cannot be lowered by a railroad. Should an emergency arise calling for a decreased rate the railroads or shippers would have to appeal again to the commis- «sion, there being no latitude allowed, whatever the circumstances. Hitherto a maximum rate Las been the rule, but no such concession is made under the proposed legislation. America Found Too Soon. Christopher Columbus made a mis- take in discovering America in 1492, according to Prof. J. Paul Goode of the department of commercial geography of the University of Chicago. In an address before the seniors of the mid- way institution, says the Chicago Chronicle, the geography expert told the collegians that the turbulent con- dition of Europe at that time regard- ing religion and morality was a set- back to the progress of the new world. “It would have been much bet- ter had this great discovery came a century Inter,” "said professor. op ropeap cou s would tne Then the have been better prepared to develop a € country.” Growth of Peabody Fund.

GOOD @ ®@ ROADS. > a ET Why Farm Values Decrease. So99ece000at ” wu LFERENCE to the a: % HR cultural records in regard to the farm values in the - State of New York from S% SKl 1870 to 1890 shows that the value of farms has de- creased, and the question is asked, Why has it? New York State is the Empire State of the Union. It has most attractive soil, it Las intelligent farmers, it has within its borders 8,- 000,000 people, one-tenth of the entire popilation of the United States, and the consumers of farm produce are near to the farms of New York State, and even with advantageous location farm values have decreased. Why is it? In 1850 there were but 700 miles of steam road in the State. There are now 8114 miles of steam road, and the State of New York has 74,000 miles of dirt roads over which to haul to mar- ket its farm products. A ton of pro- duce can be carried no cheaper to-day on the highways of this State than it could in 1850, when it cost twenty-five cents to haul a ton one mile. In other words, rapid transit and cheap transportation have been fur- nished by the steamships and the steam roads to many shippers, while slothing has been done to cheapen the cost of the haul of a ton of farm produce over the roads of the State. The improvement of one mile of high- way in every ten of all of the miles of highway in the State would create a system of 7500 miles of road, which, following the main highways of the State, would leave no farm within the State farther away than a five mile haul, and most of the farms would be within three miles of an improved highway. When once on an improved highway, we would have a ton of farm produce moved for twelve and a half cents a ton a mile, a saving of 100 per cent. over the present cost. Is it not possible that one of the reasons of the decrease in the value of agricultural land in this State is because of neglected transportation? If so, should mot the State of New York expend $50,000,000 upon a sys- tem of 7500 miles of highway and con- struct the same within ten years, ex- pending $5,000,000 a year so as to in- telligently open up the entire State to cheap transportation for the farmer just the same as the people of New York and Buffalo have voted $100,000,- G00 to be expended on the canal to cheapen transportation of the farm products of Indiana, Ohio and Illinois to the margets of New York City, which belong first to our own farmers? —New York Tribune, Canals and Roads. Many thoughtful citizens are watch- ing the State expenditure of money in the construction of main highways, and asking the question, How are these roads to be maintained? Indeed, it is time that the question was asked, and the solution of it must come from a practical point of view rather than from a blindly drawn statute. Each met. Each town feels its burden of local taxation most. Road maintenance is expensive, and the solution may be worked out on one of the following lines: The State of New York in the last twenty years has expended on the 355 miles of canals an average of $2,000, 000 a year in maintenance, and this canal is closed a part of the year. The State of New York in the last eight years has constructed 700 miles of State roads, the cost of which has been paid, fifty per cent. by the State, thirty-five per cent. by the county and fifteen per cent. by the town. Is there any reason why the annual cost of maintaining these roads should not be paid for in the same proportion by the State, county and town? Another suggestion is, Why should not the State pay fifty per cent. and the county pay fifty per cent. of the annual maintenance, and leave the town out of the question all together, except as the town bears its portion of the county taxes? Another solution of the question is, Why should not the State pay the en- tire cost of maintaining these roads the same as .it pays the entire cost of maintaining the Erie Canal? Still another suggestion is, Why should not each town in which these roads are built raise $50 a mile toward the expense of the annual mainte- nance and pay this amount to the State, the State guaranteeing to main- tain the road and meet all additional expenses of maintenance in excess of $50 a mile? This last is the solution of the question of road maintenance as worked out in Massachusetts. Boards of supervisors are considering these auestions throughout the State in orden to obtain general legislation in regard to road maintedlance which will be equitable to all parties interested.— New York Tribune.

R. G. Dun & Co.’s “Weekly Review of Trade” says: Erratic weather has tended to make trade reports some- what irregular, but on the whole the week’s results were satisfactory. Early delays were followed by increas- ed activity particularly a what might be termed Easter lines. It is note- worthy that much business for fall delivery has appeared, and more sup- plementary spring and summer con- tracts are being placed than jobbers anticipated. Mercantile payments are also increasingly prompt. Industrial activity expands, iron furnaces and steel mills maintaining their good rec- ord, textile plants securing larger or- ders, and footwear manufacturers are, able to hold full prices without cur- tailing operations. Labor controversies are few and cause little inconvenience, while im- migration for the last week was more than double that of the corresponding week in 1904. Transporting interests are able to handle the increased busi- ness with little congestion, railway earnings -thus far reported for April exceeding last year’s by 10.2 per cent. Foreign commerce at the port of New York for the last week showed a gain of, $2,069,861 in value of merchandise exported and imports were $3,415,922 larger than in the same week of 1904. ‘Higher wage scales becoming effec- tive on May 1 assure freedom from la- bor troubles at blast furnaces, and there is little friction at the steel mills, but the industry will be inter- rupted unless iron ore is freely mined. Otherwise the iron and steel industry is. in splendid condition, contracts covering deliveries well into next year in many departments, and there is no division that can be styled dull. Coke output continues to eclipse all records, and, as traffic conditions are favorable, the free movement threatens accumu- latica, so that this fuel is a little weaker. Both anthracite and bitumin- ous coal are active. Leather is steady, despite reports of sales at concessions emanating from transacticas in in- ferior goods, while belting butts ad- vanced sharply. Packer hides are strong and active. Foreign dry hides are unchanged. Failures this week numbered 200 in the United States, against 241 last vear, and 21 in Canada, compared with 12 a year ago.
