[Women Avoid Operations When a woman suffering from female trouble is told that an oper- ation is pecessary, it, of course, frightens her. The very thought of the hospital, the operating table and the knife strikes terror to her heart. It is quite true that these troub- les may reach a stage where an ope- ration is the only resource, but a great many women have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable * Compound after an operation has been decided upon as the only cure. The strongest and most grateful M15S ROSE . MOORE statements possible to make come from women who by taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs, have escaped serious operations, as evidenced by Miss Rose Moore's case, of 307 W. 26th St.. N.Y. She writes:— Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-'‘Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured me of the very worst form of female trouble and I wish to express to you my deepest gratitude. I was unable to attend to my duties 1 suffered intensely for two years so that and was a burden to my family. I * doctored and doctored with only temporary reliefand constantly objecting to an operation which I was advised to undergo. I decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound; and I am now in better health than it cured me of the terrible trouble I have been for many years.” This and other such cases should encourage every woman to try Ly- dia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound before she submits to an operation.

Blackstone tersely says that land hath in its legal significance an inde- finite extent upward as well as down- ward. The title to the landholder ex- tends to the center of the earth and to the zenith. The sovereignty of a nation is similarly extended, and it ap- pears that the assertion of national jurisdiction over the upper regions is - becoming a matter of some import- ance in view of the recent develop- ment of aerial navigation. The Neth- erlands parliament has been consid- ering a curious bill, which, if passed will forbid any airship from landing on the territory of the Low Countries under a heavy penalty. An amusing feature of the bill is the provision that any airship maneuvering over Hol- land must instantly comply with the signals made to it from below dnd come down in order that the pilot may be punished. If the trespassing aerial navigators are imprudent enough to desecend somewhere else in the coun- try, the sentence will be greatly in- creased.—Philadelphia Ledger. Overwork. More accidents involving loss of life have taken place on the railroads in the past year or two than in any previous period of equal duration. In this particular the United States has won a bad pre-eminence among the great countries of the world. There are several times more’ fatalities in this country on the railways every year than there are in England, Ger- many or France, in proportion to the number of persons traveling. Over- work on the part of employes has been the cause of many of these casaulties. Physical torpor due to excessive hours of labor of railway workers is accountable for the fail- ure, in many cases, to make use of the mechanical devices to prevent ac- cidents.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Japan -is the largest copper pro- ducing country of the Far East, but as yet her output (1905) is only one- fifteenth of the total production of the world. = The output rose from 23,899 tons in 1899 to 36,000 tons in 1905. Copper mining is at present one of Japan's weak points, the operations being conducted without method. Her home consumption is about 7,000 a year.

FINANGE AND TRADE REVIEW | DUN’'S WEEKLY SUMMARY Spring ‘Trade Makes Satisfactory Showing—Mercantile Collections Also Improve Steadily. Spring trade is making a most sat- isfactory comparison with the volume at this time last year, except in a few sections, where the weather is still un- favorable, and mercantile collections improve steadily, despite the high money market. Leading industries have orders covering production well into the future, especially cotton fac- tories and steel mills, while the out- put of pig iron when the manth open- ed was close to the largest on record. High prices in the footwear industry have checked placing of contracts for fall shoes at New Ingland factories, some declines in prices of hides and leather encouraging buyers to Zdelav ordering the finished = product, but most mills are still busy on spring goods. Prices are well maintained in ail sections of the iron and steel industry, premiums being frequently offered for prompt delivery, but orders are seldom accepted on these terms because of the oversold condition of mills and furnaces. Textile mills are producing at a re- markable rate without threatening any accumulation of stocks, and ad- vanced prices for cotton goods have not checked -demands. In this divis- ion the statistical position is beyond precedent, mills being sold ahead for many months and purchasers readily accepting whatever deliveries can he secured. Premiums above regular “quotations are willingly paid for early shipments. Most jobbers have now provided for all the spring trade, but others will not be able to meet the re- quirements of customers. This is es- pecially the case with Western job- bers, who still receive liberal orders. Prices of grain were well maintain- ed, in view of the official report of farm reserves on March 1, that show- ed 206,644,000 bushels of wheat, 1,- 298,000,000 bushels of corn and 3S4,- 461,000 bushels of oats. There was no change in the cotten situation, both receipts and exports continuing to exceed those of a year ago. MARKETS. PITTSBURG. Wheat—No. 2 red.. ye—No.2......

IS The General Condemnation of So-Called Patent or Secret Medicines character, which indulge in extravagant and to cure all manner of ills, and the National Legislation Enacted to Restrict Their Sale have established more clearly than could have been accomplished in any other way The Value and Importance of Ethical Remedies. Remedies which physicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficially and are gentle yet prompt in effect, and called ethical, because they are of Known Excellence and Quality and of Known Component Parts. To gain the full confidence of the Well-Informed of the world and the approval of the most eminent physicians, it is essential that the component parts be known to and approved by them, and, therefore, the California Fig Syrup Company has published for many years past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof. The per- fect purity and uniformity of product which they demand in a laxative remedy of an ethical character are assured by the California I'ig Syrup Company’s original method of manufacture, known to the Company only. There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but the product of the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family laxatives that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts, without disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs, and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir. of Senna, as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs; and to get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.— plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs, or by the full name, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company, and the same heretofore known by the name, Syrup of Figs, which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for *sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the rcgular price of which is fifty cents per bottle.

His plan, however, differs astonishingly from that of the American millionaire who contributes his mite to the Hague Peace Tribunal. Instead of doves of peace, Alvarado ould unleash the dogs of war, and all at his own expense. He offers $10,000,000, or $20,000,000, if need be {10 recruit and maintain a special army to exterminate the Yaqui Indians.

FOOLED THE PREACHER. A Doctor's Brother Thought Postum Was Coffee. A wise doctor found out coffee was hurting him so he quit drinking it. He was so busy with his practice, however, that his wife had to write how he fooled his-brother, a clergy- man, one day at dinner. She says: “Doctor found coffee was injuring him and .decided to give Postum a trial, and we have used it now for four years with continued benefit. In fact, he is now free from the long train of {lls that. follow coffee drink- ing. “To show how successful we are in making Postum properly, Iwill relate an incident. At a dinner we gave, doctor suggested that we serve Pos- tum instead of ordinary coffee. 3 “Doctor's brother, a clergyman, supposed it was old fashioned coffee and remarked, as -he called for his second cup, ‘If you do preach against coffee I see you haven't forgotten how to make it." ”’ as e . This goes to show that well-made —fully boiled—Postum has much the flavor and richness of good coffee al- though it has an individuality all {its own. A ten days’ trial will prove that it has none of the poisonous effect of ordinary coffee but ‘will correct the troubles caused by coffee. : ‘“There’s a reason.” Name furnished by Pos- tum Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich.

A Lunatic’s Joke. Some time ago a man went to vis- it a friend who was an inmate of a lunatic asylum. After a prolonged chat in a humorous ,if not very intel- ligent vein, the visitor thought it time to-go. “Is that clock right, John?” he asked of the inmate. John gazed at his friend for a time in ap- parently speechless amazement, then, with a chuckle, said, “My dear friend, do you the clock would be here if it all right?” he think was Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup for Children teething, softens thegums, reducesinflamma- lion, allays pain, cures wind colic, 25ca bottle Two Kinds of Foolhardiness.
