Many women long for a child to bless their homes, but because of some de- bility or displacement of the female organs they are barren. Preparation for healthy maternity is accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound more successfully than by any other medicine, because it ives tone and strength to the entire emale organism, curing all displace- ments, ulceration and inflammation. A woman who is in good physical condition transmits to her children the blessings of a good constitution. Is not that an ineentive to prepare for a healthy maternity ? If expectant mothers would fortify; themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham’s: Vegetable Compound, which for thirty years has sustained thousands of women in this condition, there would be a great decrease in miscarriages, in suffering, and in disappointments at birth. The following letters to Mrs. Pink- ham demonstrate the power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in such cases. . Mrs. L. C. Glover, Vice-President of Milwaukee Business Woman’s Associa- tion, of 614 Grove Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — ‘1 was married for several years and no children blessed our home. The doctor said I had a complication of female troubles and I could not have any children unless I could be cured. For months I took his medicines, trying in vain for a cure, but at. last my hus- band became disgusted and suggested that I Many Women Have Been Benefited by try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- ound; this I did, and I improved steadily in aalth, and in less than two years a beautiful child came te bless our home. Now we have something to live for, and all the credit is due to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound.” Mrs. Mae P. Wharry. Secretary of the North Shore Oratorical Society, The Notman, Milwaukee, Wis., writes. Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — “1 was mairied for five years and gave birth to two premature children. Lydia E. Pinkham'’s Vegetable Compound was recom: mended to me, and I am so glad I took it, for it changed me from a weak, nervous woman to a strong, happy and healthy one within seven months. ithin two years a lovely little irl was born, which is the pride and joy of our household. Every day I bless ydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for the light, health and happiness it brought to our home.” If any woman thinks she is sterile, or hasdoubts about her ability to earry a child to a mature birth let her write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., whose advice is free to all expectant or would-be mothers. She has helped thousands of women through this anx- ious period. Women suffering with irregular or painful menstruation leucorrheea, dis- placement. ulceration or inflammation of the womb, that bearing down feel- ing or ovarian trouble, backache, bloat- ing or nervous prostration, should re- member that Lydia E.

Treating lightly the habit of dying, to which men have been slaves for thousands of years, Henry Gaze of London told a small company of per- sons gathered in Odd Fellows’ Tem- ple, Philadelphia, that they could live forever if they would just apply their minds to the effort. Gaze is the author of a book en- titled “How to Live Forever.” Anxious to propagate his theories as to ever- lasting physical life, he is making a lecturing tour in this country. “Practical psychology, rejuvenating diet and regenerative life” are the first principles of Gaze’s scheme. He holds up perpetual youth as being so easy of attainment that one is fool- ish to grow old. If one is old he can regain youth, and if he doesn’t like his body he can, by giving thought to the matter, transform it into any mold of form and cast of features that he desires. Thus he can get rid of any defects that happen to mar his beauty or at- tractiveness. Gaze would get rid of the death of the body by dying little by little, an atomic or ‘‘up-to-date” death, as he described it, while the “rejuvenating diet” and “regenerative life” get in their work by building up the body; replacing the dead atoms, as they are given off, with new ones. Control over the subconscious soul that governs the rebuilding of life is all that is necessary. Also in Poland. Animosity toward the government may lead to good results to the indi- vidual. Thus in Poland thousands of workmen are said to have quit the drinking of spirits and the smoking of tobacco in order to deprive the gov- ernment of the revenues from those sources. Not only have the workmen themslves “swcrn off,” but wherever they see a man smoking or drinking they appeal to him to practice self- denial in order to mark popular dis- content with administrative In many instances the smokers and drinkers comply, and the Russian journals express the fear that, with the spread of the movement, there will be a serious decrease in the revenue. Also there will be a corresponding im- provement in the conditions and the health of the workingmen.—Philadel- phia Ledger. Torento as a Phoenix. It is mow a year since Toronto lost property to the value of $12,000,000 by fire. This property was in the heart of the city, of the business section, and there was the usual percentage of insurance.

R. @ Dun & Co.s “Weekly Review of Trade” says: Unsettled weather still retards retail trade, and uneven distribution of moisture prevents crop prospects from attaining an ideal posi- tion, but the general result is much better than nor- mal and far more satisfactory than at this time in 1904. Mercantile pay- ments are fairly prompt, money easy and abundant, while confidence in the future is the ruling sentiment. The decline in Wall street to the lowest average of the most active railway se- curities since last January has had no perceptible influenee on business, and railway earning continue to make fa vorable comparisons with last year’s figures, the early returns for April showing a gain of 9.7 per cent. Manufacturing activity is unabated, the leading industries reporting a minimum percentage of idle machin-- ery, and pig iron products is expect- ed to establish a new record of over 2,000,000 tons for the current month. Foreign commerce has again shown an increase at this port over the same week last year. For the first time in many weeks the comparison as to exports was unfavorable. Real estate transfers are very heavy in all parts of the country, and in addition to the large amount of building cperations in progress, the number of new permits indicate that much more structural work is contemplated. Little inter ruption from labor controversies is still cause for gratification. A little irregularity is noticed in reports from the leading centers of the iron and steel industry, but it was not to be expected that producion and consump- tion would continue to establish new high water marks indefinitely. There is still great pressure for quick de- livery of structural steel for bridges, buildings and cars, while practically all forms of railway equipment are in larger demand than supply. MARIE ITS.

Com- munities to be benefited, producers, manufacturers or shippers to be aided represent the pieces used. Every possi- ble move is studied for its effect on the general result by skilled traffic mana- gers. A false move in the making of freight rates may mean the ruin of a city, of a great manufacturing interest, of an agricultural community. Rail- roads strive to build up all these so that each may have an equal chance in the sharp competition of business. So sensitive to this rivalry are the rail- roads that in order to build up business along their lines they frequently allow the shipper to practically dictate rates. Rate making has been a matter of de- velopment; of mutual concessions for mutual benefit. That Is why the rail- roads of the United States have volun- tarily made freight rates so much lower in this country than they are on the government-owned and operated rail- ways of Europe and Australia that they are now the lowest transportation rates in the world. Japanese Immigration. Within *he past few months an agi- tation has been started in California against the coming of the Japanese to America, which resembles that which resulted in the exclusion of the Chinese 25 years ago. The leg- islature has memorialized congress to take action on the matter, and the recent decision to employ coolies in the construction of the Panama canal has added to the prejudice felt against a race which is regarded as ready to ursurp the place of the American laborer.

GRAHAM'S CURE Sores on Face and Back—Tried Many Doctors Without Success—Gives — Thanks to Cuticura. Captain W. 8. Graham, 1321 Eoff St., Wheeling, W. Va., writing under date of June 14, ’04, says: “I am go grateful 1 want to thank God that a friend recommended Cuticura Soap and Ointment to me. I suffered for a long time with sores on my face and back. Lome doctors said I had blood poison, and others that I had bar- bers’ itch. None of them did me any good, but they all took my money. My friends tell me my skin now looks as clear as a bghy’s, and I tell them all that Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment did it.” Gardening as a “Cure.” Few of us know that a far better cure for all our health troubles than any of the patent medicines which are so ccastantly recommended lies at our doors in more senses than one—i. e., the garden cure, says Ama- teur Gardening. This idea is at last breaking through the crust of cen- turies and emerging to the light; so that garden cities, lady gardeners, horticulture and agriculture and vari- ous signs of coming samity, amateur gardening being one of the most con- spicuous, are all on the increase. All we have to do is to open our doors and live in our gardens. The Biggest Idol.
