Pinkham'’s Vegetable Compound has Saved Her Life and Made Her Well. How many lives of beautiful young girls have been sacrificed just as they were ripening into womanhood! How many irregularities or displacements have been developed at this important period, resulting in years of suffering! A mother should come to her child's aid at this critical time and remember that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will prepare the system for the Soming change and start this try- ing period in a young girl's life without pain or irregularities. Miss Emma Cole of Tullahoma, Tenn., writes: : Dear Mrs. Pinkham: +1 want to tell you that I am enjoying bet- ter health than I have for Years, and I owe #t all to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound. ‘ When fourteen years of age I suffered al- most constant pain, and for two or three ears 1 had soreness and painin my side hes and was dizzy and nervous, and doctors all failed to help me. “Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was recommended, and after taking it m health began to improve rapidly, and I thin it saved my life. I sincerely hope my experi- ence will be abelp to other girls who are pass- from girthood to womanhood, for I know your Compound will do as much for them.” If you know of any young girl who is sick and needs motherly advice ask her to write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., and she will receive free advice which will put her on the right road to a strong, healthy and happy womanhood.

Awful Discharge From Eyes and Nose Grateful Mother Stromgly Rec- ominends Cuticura. *T used the Cuticura Remedies eight years ago for my little boy wko had ulcers in the eyes, which resulted from vaccina- tion. His face and nose were in a bad state also. At one time we thought he would lose his sight forever, and at that time he was in the hospital for seven or eight months and under specialists. The discharges from the eyes and nose were bad and would have left scars, I feel sure, had it not been for the free use of the Cuticura Remedies. But through it all we used tne Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, and lots of it, and I feel grate- ful for the benefit he received from them. The Cuticura Resolvent seemed to send the trouble out, the Ointment healed it outwardly, and the Soap cleansed and healed both. He is entirely cured now, but since then I have bought the Cuticura Resolvent to cleanse and purify the blood, and the Soap I cannot speak too highly of as a cleansing and medicinal beautifier.

Extermination of Lions. Just as the buffalo has been ex- terminated from our great western plains, so lions are disappearing from India before the rifle of the hunter and the ax and plow of the farmer. In Kathiawar, whose forests have furnished one of the last retreats of the retiring king of beasts, an at- tempt is being made to save the ani- mals from complete extinction = by prohibiting lion-hunting during a per- jod of six years. It is said, however, that the gradual clearing away of the forests will in itself result in the extermination of the lions. A MISSOURI WOMAN Tells a Story of Awful Suffering and Wonderful Relief. Mrs. J. D. Johnson, of 603 West Hickman St., Columbia, Mo., says: “Following an operation two years ago, dropsy set in, and my left side was so swollen the doctor said he would have to tap out the water. There was constant pain and a gurgling sensation around my heart, and I could not raise my arm above my head. The kid- ney action was disor- dered and passages of the secretions too frequent. On the advice of my husband I began using Doan’s Kidney Pills. Since using two boxes my trouble has not reappeared. This is wonderful, after suffering two years.” Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. i Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.

Mr. Peter Paulson, an American farmer, recently inherited a sum of money from his mother, on condition that he goes to church every Sunday for the next fifteen years. The near- est church he can attend is ten miles from his home. Tem Lion tamers frequently perfume themselves with lavender. There is, it is said, no record of a lion ever having attacked a trainer who had taken the precaution of using this perfume. Horses are delighted with certain perfumes. ‘A bank note that passed through the Chicago fire is one of the curios preserved in the Bank of England. The paper was consumed, but the ashes held together, and the printing is quite legible, and it is kept under glass. The bank paid the note. Having advertised as a widower in search of wife No. 2, a man of St. Gall, Switzerland, showed the fifty replies and photographs which he had received to his wife, and, stating that if she did not want him there were others who did, he effectively cured her of her ‘‘nagging” habits. The proposed cable to Iceland is to be laid from the Shetland Islands to Thorshavn, in the Faroe Islands, and thence to Seydisfjord, in Iceland. From the latter point there is to be a land line to Reykjavik. The cable is not expected to be completed until the autumn. ‘A Canadian farmer, noted for his absent-mindedness, went to town one the utmost precision. He started on his way.-home, however, with the firm conviction that he had forgotten something—what it was he could not recall. As he neared home the con- viction increased, and three times he stopped his horse and went carefully through his pocketbook in a vain en- deavor #0 discover what he had for- gotten. In due course he reached home, and was met by his daughter, who looked at him in surprise and exclaimed: ‘“Why, father, where have you left mother?” The fox is an excellent mouser. He will lie and watch for a field mouse in the long grass like a cat, pounce upon it, kill it with a bite and lay it one side until he has caught another, when, picking them all up, as many as he can carry in his mouth, he will canter away with them to serve them out to the cubs. This fact was con- firmed by witnesses in Scotland who were examined by a committee of the Board of Agriculture when taking ' evidence on theoccasion of the plague of fleld moles on the lowland sheep farms in 1893. BIG BUILDINGS MARKED DOWN. Value of Great Insurance Structures Away Below Their Cost. The total cost. of the present Equitable Building in New York was $18,000,000. Its present value, on the Equitable’s own estimate is not more than $15,000,000. Only the phenomenal growth in Broadway land values has saved the policyholders from a much greater loss. The New York Life’s Broadway building cost $7,121,000; the com- pany now claims a valuation of only $5,000,000. The Mutual's main office building in New York cost $17,277,000; the Mutual has written off more than $6,000,000 in the last seven years. Many of the Yoreign buildings show similar depreciation. The Equitable’s Melbourne ‘‘adver- tisement” cost $2,864,000; the so- ciety at present gives it a value of only $2,000,000. The first New York Life building in Paris cost $1,102,000; in 1891 the French Government valued it at $470,000. The present Paris build- ing cost $2,500,000; the company now gives it a value of $1,300,000. The Equitable has invested $37,- 884,000 in its fifteen office build- ings; the insurance department, in order to give them an earning power of three per cent., has placed the value at $26,000,000—a loss of §11,- 500,000. Should the properties ac- ‘tually be sold, the depreciation would probably be even larger.— McClure’s Magazine. Wisdom of a Persian Judge. Professor Williams Jackon tells in his “Persia, Past and Present,” some stories illustrating character in the land of Omar Khayyam. One is of a man, who, suffering from inflamed eyes, went to a horse doctor for treatment. The veterinary gave him some of the salve that he used on animals and the man lost his eye- sight. He then brought suit in court to recover damages. The Judge, af- ter weighing the evidence in the case, handed down his decision as follows: “There is no damage to be recovered; the man would never have gone to FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW DUN’S WEEKLY SUMMARY Movements of Merchandise Still Re- tarded by Poor Transportation Facilities. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: Trade expands under the stimulat- ing influence of colder weather and mercantile collections improve, al- though rates for money continue high. Traveling salesman send in large orders to leading distributing points, but movements of merchandise is still retarded by inadequate trans- porting facilities. Seasonable lines of wearing apparel and holiday goods attract most attention, while staple articles of every description are in steady demand. Current business is good and prospects for the future were never brighter; labor disputes reach amicable settlement, in most cases wages being advanced in numer- ous transporting and manufacturing indystries. The most striking development of the week was the unprecedented out- put of pig iron in conjunction with large imports and advancing prices, indicating the greatest activity ever attained by steel mills. Other indus- trial reports were scarcely less grati- fying. Prospects in the iron and steel industry are beyond precedent. Con- tracts cover capacity of mills far into next year, and in some cases to 1908, while the small tonnage that can be delivered promptly, commands liberal premiums. Textile industries are active, but the primary market for cotton goods has quieted down after the conclus- ion of initial purchases. New Eng- land footwear manufacturers report especial activity in spring lines of men’s Oxford shoes. The flour output continues to make a poor comparison with the milling returns of a year ago. An official statement further increasing the esti- mated corn crop prevented the cer- eal from participating fully in the up- ward tendency of prices. Liabilities of commercial failures thus far reported for November amounted to $2,326,428, of which $883,501 were in manufacturing, $1, 362,346 in trading and $80,581 in other commercial lines.

The average baby born to-day has a chance of reaching five years of age better by 50 per cent than would have been the case half a century ago. Its prospect of escaping the diseases of childhood and growing up is vastly imporved, as compared with earlier days. Now, it is very desirable to save the babies, and one of the greatest triumphs of our newer civilization is the successful rearing of three human infants for every two that survived half a century ago. But it is undeni- able that the race, as a whole, suffers by the change, inasmuch as the weaklings, instead of being weeded out, are thus enabled to grow up. These weaklings not only propagate other weaklings, but, by reason of their inferior vigor of constitution, commonly fail to reach old age. In this fact, doubtless, is found one cause of the rise in the death rate in later life.——Dr. John V. Shoemaker in Salvation Army are worth $430,000. the Reader. HURT, BRUISE OR SPRAIN ST.
