It is a great

woman to feel that
she can write to

that her letter will

$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. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form of
female ills. il
No other medicine in all:the world
has. such a record of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia E. Pinkham'’s

‘tute which a druggist may offer. .

Profits of the Packers.
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. S

Noon and High Noon.
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. . ‘

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.

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. _

from three to four hours. 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.

FINANGE AND TRACE REVIEW
DUN'S WEEKLY SUMMARY
; Merchant Steel and Agricultural Im-
plement Material Strong.
R. G. 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.
In the hide market no change has oc-
curred. Improvement continues in
leather trading. Failures this ‘week
numbered 249 in the United States;
against 249 last year, and:in Canada’

No Sailors in Russia.
Writing from Russia many years
ago, Richard .Cobden said: “People
confound in their minds the defens-
{ve and the aggressive power of Rus-
sin. She is invulnerable against
foreign attack by land, because no
large army could be concentrated
within her borders (unless it be in
Moscow or St. Petersburg), for want
of accumulated store of food, ete.
#, * ‘= Qh has, it is iruve, a large
force of ships df war, but they are
manned by serfs taken from the vil-
lages of the interior, who are unde-
serving the name of sailors, and it
is pretty certain they would never
venture into an engagement with an
English or American fleet, and if they
did it is quite certain they would be
taken or destroyed.”
