TWO OPEN LETTERS IMPORTANT TO MARRIED WOMEN Mrs. Mary Dimmick of Washington tells How Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Made Her yau It is with great pleasure we publish the following letters, as they convine- ingly prove the claim we have so many times made in our colunins that Mrs, Tx MC Eo AE : Mrs Mary Dimmick Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., is fully quali- fiedtogive helpful advice to sick women. Read Mrs. Dimmieck’s letters. Her first letter : Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — ‘1 have been a sufferer for the oaet eight Jeers with a trouble which first originated rom painful periods =the ‘pains were excruci- ating, withinflammation and ulceration of the female organs. The doctor says I must have an operation or I cannot live. I do not want to submit to an operation if I can possibly Please help me.”—Mrs. Mary Dimmick, Washington, D. C. Her second letter: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — *‘ You will remember my condition when I last wrote you, and that the doctor said I must have an operation or I could not live. I received your kind letter and followed your advice very carefully and am now entirely well. S my case was so serious it seems a miracle that I am cured. Iknow that I owe not only my health but my life to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and to your advice. I can walk miles without an ache or a pain, and I wish every suffering woman would read this letter and realize what you can do for them.”—Mrs. Mary Dimmick, 59th and East Capitol Streets, Washington, D. C. How easy it was for Mrs. Dimmick to write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., and how little it cost her—a two-cent stamp. Yet how valuable was the reply! As Mrs. Dimmick says—itsaved her life. Mrs. Pinkham has on file thousands of just such letters as the above, and offers ailing women helpful advice. » W.L. DoucLAS *320&*32SHOES W. L.

Salt, the Civilizer. - The use of salt as a necessary supplement to diet has had much in- fluence in shaping the civilization and exploration of the world. It is most probable that the oldest trade routes were created for the salt raf- fic, as sait and incense formed the chief necessaries of the ancient days. This was certainly the case with caravan routes in Libya and the Sa- hara, while the mines of north In- dia were the center of a large trade before the time of Alexander. Another interesting fact is that salt. has played a considerable part in the distribution of man. When it became absolutely necessary to him. as it did at an early stage of his de- velopment, he was forced to migrate to places where it could be obtained. This brought him to the seashore, where he gained his ideas of mari- time commerce. Lastly, the preser- vative eifects of salt on flesh food made long oceanic voyages possible and thus opened up the world to com- merce and civilization. 5: ¢ for 5c worth of Yeading: iy arelites inCheio est Garden Seeds. #1's worth of Univ ersal Pro- mins Conpous irve With ever, LGLAXMOU'S SELD > TORE, B order. yf TIMORE, warm Thompson's Eye Water WINGZC . shot and wadding, ity of Winchester determined practical are and “LEADER” AND “REPEATER” SHOTGUN SHELLS Carefully inspected shells, the best of powder, give invariable results account for the superior- Factory Loaded’ Smokeless Powder Shells.

Diemer, 21.23., Manufacturer, Springfield, Me FINANGE AND TRADE REVIEW DUN’S WEEKLY REVIEW Preparations for Large Spring Trade— Manufacturing Plants Report Little Idle Machinery. Prospects are most encouraging for continued activity in the commercial world. Seasonable merchandise .is going into consumption more freely. and preparations for a large spring trade keep shipping departments busy. Mercantile collections are still somewhat irregular, although satis- factory on the whole, especially in view of the firm money market. Manufacturing plants report little idle machinery, except at Northwestern’ flour mills, where the heavy output has exceeded demands for a time. Probably the best news of the week was the .prompt response to Presi- den Roosevelt’s pacific letter to the contesting coal interests. Another favorable report estimated that contemplated new buildings in New York City alone would 'con- sume 200,000 tons of structural steel. while National prosperity is evinced by the various State reports showing noteworthy posits. Dividend distributions in March will also largely exceed last year’s, and foreign commerce at this port for the last week showed gains of $908,496 in exports, and $1,268,475 in imports, as compared with 1905. Tommercial failures in February were only 908 in number, against 1,013 last year, but liabilities in- creased from $9,780,370 to $10,850.- 019, owing to a few large brokerage defaults. Trading losses were al- most $2,000,000 less than in 1905. while a small increase occurred in manufacturing liabilities. Railway earnings in February exceeded last vear’s, but a further decline occur- red in the prices of securities, attrib- uted to the financial stringency. No setback has occurred in the iron and steel industry, mills and furnaces operating at the limit of capacity without overtaking orders, which come forward more rapidly than they can be filled. Primary tex- tile markets are’ quiet, and in some lines cof cotton goods a little weak- ness is noted. Several lines are sold so far ahead that prices are readily maintained. notably in certain ex- port grades and some fine yarn goods. MARK IETS. PITTSBURG. Grain, Fiour and Feed.

This is the first instance in several years of newspaper work that the writer has dared to tell the truth about a wedding for fear of getting licked and does so now with a keen relish. The groom is an editor and is not an accomplished and popular leader of society; in face, he doesn’t know as much about it as a rabbit. His hair is red and<¢the freckles on his face crowd each cther for room. He has never considered that the fu- ture looked bright and promising. The bride, ‘judging from the job she has taken on her hands, is a young lady of more than ordinary nerve.—Gay- lord (Kan.) Sentinel. Smallest Coin Used. The natives of the Malay Peninsu- la have in use the smallest current coin in the world. It is a sort of wafer, made from the resinous juice of a tree, and is worth about one twenty-thousandth of a cent.

Nine-tenths of the peasants in Russia live in huts without floors, and too low for a tall man to stand in. The Inventor of Standard Time. On Sunday, November 18, 1883, for the convenience of the railroads and the traveling public, what is known as standard time was adopted. Stan- dard time was established on prin- ciples first suggested by Charles F. Dowd of Saratoga. The United States, beginning at its extreme east- ern limits and extending to the Paci- fic coast, was and is now divided in- to four time sections, eastern, cent- ral, mountain and pacific. ee The population of Egy bt on Julv i, 1904, was 112,417 foreigners and 10,- 386,423 natives, besides about GI2,- 000 nomadic Bedouins. People now demand the Tight to know exactly what thee eat. To be told by maker or retailer that the food is “pure” is not satisfactory. Candy may. contain “pure” white clay or “pure” dyes and yet be very harm- ful. Syrups may contain “pure” glu- cose and yet be quite digestible and even beneficial. Tomato catsup may contain a small amount of salicylic or boracic acid as a necessary preserva- tive, which may agree with one and be harmful to another. . Wheat flour may contain a portion of corn flour and really be: improved. Olive oil may be made of cotton seed oil. Butter may contain beef suet and yet be nutritious. The person who buys and eats must protect himeelf and faniily. and he has a right to. and now demands. a law under which he can make intelligent selection of food. Many pure food bills have been in- troduced and some passed by State legislatures; many have been offered to Congress, but all thus far seem ob- Jectionable. It has seemed difficult for politicians to formulate a satisfactory. bill tbat would protect the common people and yet avoid harm to honest makers and prevent endless trouble to retailers. No government commission or officer has the right to fix “food standards” to de- fine what the people shall and shall not eat, for what agrees with one may not agree with another and such act would deprive the common citizen of his per- sonal liberty. The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., perhaps the largest makers of prepared foods in the world, have nat- urally a close knowledge of the needs of ibe people and the details of the business of the purveyors, (the retail grocer) and, guided by this experience have prepared a bill for submission to Congress which is intended to accom- plish the desired ends, and inasmuch as a citizen of the U. S. has a right to food protection even when he enters another State it is deemed proper that the gov't take control of this matter and provide a national law to govern all the States. A copy of the bill is berewith reproduced. Sec. 1 governs the maker whether the food is put up in small packages sealed, or in barrels, boxed or otherwise. Sec. 2 governs the retailer, who may open a barrel and sell the food in small quantities. When he puts the goods into a paper bag be must also enclose a printed copy of the statement of the maker which was affixed to the original pkg. and inasmuch as the. re- tailer cannot undertake to guarantee the statement of ingredients he must publish the statement of the makers and add his own name and address as a guarantee of his: selling the food as it is represented to him which relieves the retailer of responsibility of the truth of the statement and throws it upon the maker, where it properly be- longs. : The remaining sections explain them- selves. The Postum Cereal Co.. Ltd. for ex- ample, have from the beginning of its existence printed on the outside of each and every pkg. of Postum and Grape- Nuts food a truthful and exact state- went of what the contents were made of in order that the consumer might know precisely what he or she wageat- ing. A person desiring to buy. for in- stance, strictly pure fruit jelly and willing to pay the price has a right to expect net only: an equivalent for the cost but a further right to certainty as to what he eats. Or he may be willing to buy at less cost a jelly made part of fruit juices; sugar and a portion of glucose. But he must be supplied with truthful information of the ingre- i dients and be permitted to use his per- sonal liberty to select his own accurately. The people have allowed .the slow murder of infants and adults, by tricky makers of food, drink and drugs to go on about long enough. Duty to oneself, family and nation demands that every man and woman join in an organized movement to clear our people from this blight. You may not be able to go per- sonally to Washington to impress your Congressman, but you can, in a most effective way tell him by letter how you desire him to represent you. Remember the Congressman is in Congress to represent the people from his district and if a goodly number of citizens express their views to him, he secures a very sure guide to duty. Re- member also that the safety of the people is assured by insisting that the will of the people be carried out, and not the machinations of the few for selfish interests. This pure food legislation is a pure movement of the people for public pro- tection. It will be opposed only by those who fatten their pockets by de- ceiving and injuring the people. There- fore, if your Representative in Con- gress evades his patriotic duty hold Lim to strict accountability and if necessary demand equitatle and honest service. This is a very different condition than when a faction demands class legisla- tion of the Congressman. Several Years ago the butter interests of the country demanded legislation to kill the oleomargarine industry and by power of organization forced class leg- islation really unworthy of a free peo- ple. Work people wanted beef suet butter because it was cheap and better than much unclean milk butter, but the dairy interests organized and forced the legislation. The law should have pro- food vided that pkgs. of oleomargarine bear | the statement of ingredients and then let people who desire purchase it for Just what it is, and not try to kil! it by a heavy tax. Manufacturers some- times try to fcrce measufes in their FOOD own interests but contrary to the in- terests of the people and the labor trust is always active to push through bills drafted in the interest of that trust but directly contrary to the interests of the people as a whole. Witness the anti- injunetion bill by which labor unions seek to tie the hands of our courts and prevent the issue of any order to re- strain the members of that trust from attacking men or destroying property. Such a bill is perhaps the most infam- ous insult to our courts and the com- mon people ever laid before Congress and the Representatives in Congress must be held to a striet accountability for their acts relating thereto. But when bills come before Congress that trations of ‘a .
