Bhe Has Guided Thousands to Health.— ~ How Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- ! pound Cured Mrs. Fred Seydel. $ It is a great satisfaction” for a woman to feel that she can write to anothertellingher the most private and confidential details about her illness, and know that her letter will be seen by a wo- man only, a wo- man full of sym- pathy © for her $3 b sick sisters, and above all, a woman who has had more experience in treating female ills than any living person. Over one hundred thousand cases of female diseases come before Firs. Pink- bam every year, some personally, others by mail, and this has been go- ing on for twenty years, day after day. Surely women are wise in seeking advice from a woman of such experi- 4 ghice, especially when it is absolutely ec. : : : . Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con- fidence of women, and every testimo- nial letter published is done so with the written consent or request of the svriter, in order that other sick women may be benefited as they have been. Mrs. Fred Seydel, of 412 North 54th Street, West Philadelphia, Pa., writes: Dear Mrs, Pinkham: — _ “Qverayear ago I wrote you a letter asking advice, as female ills and could not “carry a child to maturity. I received your Kind letter of instructions and followed your ‘advice. I am.not only a well woman in gon- sequence, but have a beautiful baby girl I wish every suffering woman in the land would write you for advice, as you have done so much for me.” Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was cured, will Lydia BE.

There has been a great eal of dis- appointment because the Garfield re- port shows that the profits of the pack- ing industry only amount to about two per cent. on the volume of business transacted. There is no doubt, how- ever, that the report is correct. ° The census reports compiled by the Government in 1900, before the agita- tion regarding the “beef trust” began, throw considerable light on this ques- tion. It appears from the census that the packing industry is conducted on a smaller margin of gross profit than any other industry in America, The gross margin of profit of 871 flour and grist mills in Illinois, in the census year, was nearly seven per cent. on the vol- ume of business. The gross margin of fifty-one wholesale slaughtering and meat packing establishments in Illinois was only about one-third as large, or a .little more than two per cent. on the volume of business. The millers have not been accused of being in a “trust,” and combina- tions would seem impossible in a busi- ness where there are several thousand mills in the United States competing actively forthe flour trade, but it ap- pears that the gross profits of the mill- ers are larger than the gross profits of the packers. It may turn out that the agitation regarding the packing indus- try will show the same result as the devil found in shearing the pig: “All squeal and no wool.” The Wooden Pavement Revival. It is interesting example of the tendency of things to move in cycles that New York is turning back to the use of wooden blocks for pavements on some of its streets of heavy traf- fic. The wooden pavements of 30 to 40 years ago proved so ephemeral that they were discarded for asphalt and then for stone blocks. The newer wooden pavement is thought to have somewhat more enduring qualities. but the great argument in its favor is one too often ignored in selecting pavements, namely, the minimum of noise.

Some explanation for the confusion in people’s minds as to the right | definition of afternoon may be found in the old confusion between noon and midday. Noon, of course, was originally at 3 o’clock in the after- noon—if the “bull” be permitted— the hour when the monks said their “Nones”’ or noon song. -The reason that .it.-was put back to 12 o'clock may lie: in the fact that the monks were not allowed to eat their dinner until after they had said Nones; for in time they anticipated the service, and their dinner, by saying Nones immediately after the midday ser- vice, and that is probably how mid- day came to be called noon. In the old almanacs noon is genprally marked as midday and high noon as at 3.—London ‘Chronicle. Women’s Voice. Women spend years in learning to play a musical instrument, in polish- ing their manners and in studying the mysteries of dress and fashion, yet their voices are left uncultivated, though on these depends in highest degree the charm of social inter-- ‘course. Go into a drawing room or a dining room crowded with women and the din of the vocal discord is dis- tressing. Yet all this is conquerable by education, and the conquering of it is one of the most important func- tions of education. The musical in- strument most carefully to be culti- vated is the human voice, from the earliest childhood to maturity.—New York Sun. . ‘ . IN COLONEL'S TOWN Things Happel. Trom the home of the famous “Keyh- nel Keeyartah, of Cartersville,” away down Sonth, comes an enthusiastic let- ter about Postum. : “I was in very delicate health, suf- fering from indigestion and a nervous trouble so severe that I could hardly sleep. The doctor ordered me to dis- continue the use of the old kind of cot- fee which was like poison to me, pro- ducing such extreme disturbance that I could not control myself. But such was my love for it that I could not get my own consent to give it up for some time, and continued to suffer till my father one day brought home a pack- age of Postum Food Coffee. “] had the new food drink carefully | prepared according to directions, and gave it a fair trial. It-proved tc have’ a rich flavor and made a healthy, wholesome and delightful drink. To my taste the addition of cream greatly improves it. “My health began to improve as soon as the drug effect of the old coffec was removed and the Postum Coffee had | time to make its influence felt. My | nervous troubles were speedily relieved | and the sleep which the old coffee drove from my pillow always came to | soothe and strengthen me after I had | drunk Postum—in a very short time I | began to sleep better than I had for years before. I have now used Postum | Coffee for several years and like it bet- | ter and find it more beneficial than when I first began. It is an unspeak- | able joy to be relieved of the old dis- tress and sickness.” Name given by Postum Compan Battle Creek, Mich. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS i fp WHITE CAPS.

PATTIES, A LA MAZARIN, Give six turns to half a pound of puff paste, roll out to the thickness of a penny-piece; stamp out two dozen tops with a plain circular cutter, about one inch and a half in diameter; gather up the trimmings, knead together, roll out and stamp two dozen more; place on a baking sheeet about an inch and a half apart and wet them with a soft brush; garnish the centre of each with a little force-meat of any kind, place the tops on theth and use the upper part of the small cutter to press them down, so as to fasten the two parts together; they must then be egged over and baked in a rather brisk oven; when done, dish up on a napkin and serve. _ PINEAPPLE GRANITE.

Scrape the frozen part occasicnally from the sides of the can and stir the swhole long enough to mix the ice with the mass, but not long enough to make it of a creamy-like ‘consistency, for a granite, as its name implies, should be always rough. Serve in frappe glasses or in cups made of the half skin of an or- ange, with the pulp scraped out and chilled. Bits of pineapple are usually added just before the serving. 7 FA i PSU SEL ™ = 4 RECIPES ™ G Banana Sandwiches—Cut thin slices of bread and spread them very thinly with cream.

Dun & Co.'s “Weekly Review ol Trade” says: Commercial conditions seem to change at mid-summer and quiet markets usually prevail unless there is 2 movement at the commodity exchanges in response to- crop re- ports. * The past week has proved no exception to the ‘general rule. » Season- able “merchandise has gone into dis- tribution freely at retail, . duplicate orders for summer. lines are’ more numerous with jobbers now that the weather has become * settled,” and traveling salesmen send in: substan- tial contracts to wholesale drygoods houses for future delivery. Manufac- turing plants are well - employed for this time of the year, when it -is customary to male inventories and re- pairs, but next week the idleness will-} be further: increased, after. which a general resumption of activity is an- | ticipated, This confidence in the fu- ture and the ‘increasing: _promptness of mercantile collections are the best features ‘of the trade situation. Rail- way earnings thus far reported for | June "were 7.9 per cent. ‘larger ‘than last vear and foreign commerce at ‘this port for the last week showed gains of $2,832,270 .in exports and. $945,339 in imports as compared with 1904. Merchant steel and agricultural imple- ments material are fairly strong fea- tures of the market, but in almost all lines the placing of contracts.is being deferred in the hope of better terms.
