(Miss Nellie Holmes, treasurer
of the Young Woman's Temper
ance Association of Buffalo, N.Y.,
strongly advises all suffering
women to rely, as she (fid, up
on Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound.
' Dkab Mns. Pjnkiiaii : Your med
icine is Indeed on ideal woman's medi
cine, and by far the best I know to
restore lost health and strength. 1
Buffered misery for several years, bcinp
troubled with monorrhagia. My back
ached, I had bearing-down pains and
frequent headaches. I would often
wake from restful sleep, and in such
pain that I Buffered for hours before I
could po to sleep again. I dreaded tho
long nights as much as the weary days.
I consulted two different physicians,
hoping to get relief, but, finding- that
their medicine did not seem to cure me.
I tried your Vegetable Compound
on tho recommendation of a friend
from tho East who was visiting me.
" I am glad that I followed her ad
vice, for every Ache and pain is gone,
and not only this, but my general
health is much improved. I have a
fine appetite and have gained in ilesh.
My earnest advice to suffering women
is to put aside all other medicines and
to take Lydia E. Pinltlinm's Vege
table Compound." Miss Kkixis

Present Day Amber Is Resin,
According to tho best modern au

amber at all, but a resin, nearly al

leaf-bearing trees growing fit tho pres

In Germany, when, a person breaks

when ho was In good health. By this
means tho risk of spreading tho dls

COSTUME FOR FAR NORTH.
Caupor Whitney Soon Found What
Was Most Valuable.
CaRpor Whitney wrltos In regard to
his lain tin it expedition In tho far
north of Canada: "One of tho flQtfr
lessons I Jenrncd was to hoop ni' fncji
free from covering, and also ns clcjin
sbnvcn as was possible under sirfjh
circumstances. It makes mo snft
now to remember tho elaborate hood
arrangement which wits knitted for
rac in Canada, and which then
scorned to mo one of the most impor
tant articles of my equipment. It
covered tho entlro head, cars nnd
neck, with openings only for cyos
nnd mouth, and In town I had viewed
It ns n great find; but I throw it away
before I got within 1,000 miles of the
barren grounds. Tho reason is obvi
ous: My breath turned tho front of
the hood Into n sheet of ice before 1
had run three miles, and as there was
no flro In tho barren grounds to
thaw It, of courso It was an Impossi
ble thing to wenr In that region and
a poor thing In any region of low tem
perature. After other experiments, 1
found the simplest and most comfort
able hendgoar to be my own long hair,
which hung even with my Jaw, bound

MISCHIEF BY CAPE JACKALS.
Yearly Loss from These Animals Esti
mated at $7,500,000.
During a discussion on Jackals in
tho Cape house of assembly a few
days ago Mr. Rubidgo gave figures
based on Intelligent and recorded ob
servation of tho depredations caused
by jackals.
In ono year tho losses caused to
his stock amounted to 10 per cent.
Estimating on tho number of tho
flocks in 1805, ho worked gradually
up to n yearly loss 'of $7,500,000, di
rectly traceable to Jacknls. With that
as a basis the Capo Argus works as
follows upon Mr. Rubidge's figures.
"Allowing for a-loss of 5 per cent..
Instead of 10, the annual destruction
of small stock would be 850,000, equal
to $1,900,000.
"Next there camo the estimate of
loss caused to the veldt and to tho
flocks by the kraallng system. If
there were no Jackals tho Hocks
would run free at night. Mr. Rubidgo
estimated the loss from the enforced
kraallng at $2,125,000. But that does
not end the indictment against tho
jackal, Tho kraallng system has re
duced the dropping of lambs from 90
per cent, to CO per cent., and Mr. Ru
bidgo estimated the loss from this
cause at $2,250,000. South Africa.
The Stupidest Nation.

been arranged that their land Is to
be the Switzerland of the far cast
a territory to bo fought over forever,
but ono that no nation can cither
Itself possess or allow any other to
hold. Corea Is tho victim of her
own geographical advantages. And
the Impressionist carries away with
him tho picture of a people indomit
ably patient, dumb with tho callous
ness of despair, that yet has the se
cret of happiness In Its power to ex
tract joy from tho most unsatisfac
tory material; a nation stunned by
tho oppression of the nges out of all
moral and mental vigor yet still
stout, and capable, perhaps, of both
a nation of sturdy, apathetic sheep
whose silent Indifference beneath the
driving lash of the world may some
day bo found unexpectedly to have its

BUNCH TOGETHER
Coffee Has a Curious Way of Finally
Attacking Some Organ.
Alls that come from coffoo aro
cumulative, that Is, unless tho coffee
is taken away now troubles aro con
tinually appearing and tho old ones
get worse.
"To begin with," says a Kansan, "I
was a slave to coffee Just as thou
sands of others to-day; thought I
could not live without drinking strong
coffee every morning for breakfast
And I had sick headaches that kept
me in bed several days every month.
Could hardly keep my food on my
stomach but would vomit as long as
I could throw anything up nnd when
I could get hot coffee to stay on my
stomach I thought I was better.
"Well, two years ago this spring I
was that sick with rheumatism I
could not use my right arm to do any
thing, had heart trouble, was iieiv
ous. My nerves were all ur strung
and my finger nails and t!pi wero
blue as If I had a chill all tho tlmo
and my face and hands yellow as a
pumpkin. My doctor said it was heart
disease and rheumatism and my
neighbors said I had Brlght's dleeaso
and was going to die.
"Well, I did not know what on
earth was tho matter and every morn
ing would drag myself out of bed and
go to breakfast, not to eat anything,
but to force down some more coffee.
Then in a little while I would be bo
nervous, my heart would beat llko
everything.
"Finally one morning I told my hus
band I believed coffee was the cause
of this troublo and that I thought I
would try Postum which I had soon
advertised. Ho said 'All right' so we
got Postum and although I did not
like it at first I got right down to
business and made It according to
directions, then it was flno and tho
whole family got to using It and I
tell you it has worked wonders for
me. Thanks to Postum in place of tho
poison, coffee, I now enjoy good
health, have not been in bed with sick
headache for two years although I had
it fqr 30 years before I began Postum
and ray nerves are now strong and I
havo no troublo from my heart or
from the rheumatism.
"I consider 1-ostum a necessary ar
ticle of food on ray table. My friends
who come here and tasto my Postum
say it is delicious." Name given by
