Is it possible there is a woman in this country who con tinues to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound a trial after all the evidence that is con tinually being published, which proves beyond contradic tion that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffer ing among women than any other one medicine in the world ? We have published in the newspapers of the United States more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been pub lished in the interest of any other medicine for women and every year we publish many new testimonials, all gen uine and true. Here are three never before published : From Mrs. S. T. Richmond, Providence, R. I. Providence, It. I." For tho benefit of women who suffer as I have done I wish to state what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for mo. I did somo heavy lifting and the doctor said it caused a displacement. I havo always been weak and I overworked aftor my baby was born and inflammation set in, then nervous pros tration, from which I did not recover until I had taken Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. The Compound is my best friend and when I hear of a woman with troubles like mine I try to induce her to take your medicine." Mrs. S. T. Richmond. 84 Progress Avenue, Providence, R.L From Mrs. Maria Irwin, Peru, N.Y. Pektj, N.Y. w Before I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound I was very irregular and had much pain.

President Wilson, Believing i ASHINGTON. Though tho diction of President Wilson la r.legnnco itaolf, ho is not so bldc-bound in his oxnetions of tho refinements of it ns to be intolerant to tho lapses In stylo called Blnng. He frequently uses it with great forco and linn apparently been i jt&Sk. I i I ( RdXK ) Lki I I jm v L iffiXTvA I gether to help business. "Was the president really back of tho document?" ho was asked. "Oh, rats," was hie sententious reply. Now, in cold typo it looks as if tho president was not observing tho presl dentlal proprieties In dignity. But the president conducts himself ovor In such a manner that his dignity is never in question. Thcro is n wonderful graclousness of manner In him and an over prevailing smile on his face and a merry twinklo in his eyes, so ns to pass ns natural and consonant with the utmost requirements of tho dignity of his station whatever ho uttors, though couched in langungo which on other Hps would bo called vulgar. These sallies nnd departures of tho president arc sure to bo followed by a hearty laugh, which it was intended they should occasion. In short, the president will laugh a question or a proposal out ot court. A good story, ol which the president has a great store, or a sharp word in slang is tho instru mentality used. Uncle Sam Searches the World for New Fruits FROM tho offlce of information of the department of agriculture comes the delectable announcement that a smoothstone peach has been brought from China and Is to bp used to Improve our commercial fruit of tho same family. We are told also that n beau- , tiful Chinese quince, "golden on ono sldo and reddish on the other," is do ing well In its now American environ ment, a condition of thriving and promise, which is also true of Chi nese hazelnut bushes brought to America, and which now are bearing nuto that ought to make our inferior sized fruit crack for tho very shame of insignificance. There is no joke about these im portations. Tho bureau of plant In- - dustry of tho United States government never make announcement of the addition of now fruit?,, plants and flowers to tho American field until theli suqeessful growth has been proved. Tho government employs explorers purpose of finding valuablo trees "and nntivo growths of tho United StntCB. Tho explorer must know his own country well, for In his work of discovery ho mus't bear in mind just what section of tho homeland it is which resembles tho region in which his work is being done. - Theso explorers aro a hardy lot, They delight In it, apparently, und lugs into now fields, no matter how forbidden. Comparatively little Ib known of Undo Sam's bureau of plant industry. Its work, however, is apparent all over the United States. Treasures in Crypt and THERE are all kinds of treasures In rotunda, but during the Inst few out In order to make space. Immediately under tho central dome is tho large masonry of tho base walls of the building and designed as a tomb for the Immortal Washington, but other influences of a more sentimental nature de feated tho object. In an adjoining vaulted room tho plnster cast of Cranford'B "Goddess ol Liberty," from which Clarke Mills cast the bronzo figure that Burmounts the dome of the cnpltol, was kept for years. In nnothor room aro tho plaster statues of Alexander Hamilton, Thomas II. Denton and also a. Bitting flguro of Hamilton by tho artist Stone. In various portions of tho crypt are paintings of lnrgo size in boxes waiting for their owners to clnlm them. Among them aro the "First Ne braska Homestead," by a lady who desired to present It to tho government; '.'Rescue of Groely," by Opertl, and "Farthest North," tho subject of which la two of Greely's men taking observations. Washington Has a Thousand-Dollar-a-Week Hole NO one does justice to a visit to Washington who does not take a long look at the huge crater which Is tho hole where once stood tho famous Arling ton hotel. This wus torn down four years ago to make room for a modern hotel, to bo up by the 1913 Inaugura tion, but tho hotel has gone no furth er than down about forty feet into the ground. An immense fortune has been lost in tho speculation so far. While construction was begun, thn plans fell through, because the capital required wbb not raised In toto. Everything went under tho creditors' hammer u yeur ago, and what had cost about ? 1,000,000 was sold for half that sum. Another hotel project wak started to includo a theater and of fice butldliiir, but it is understood that everything is off again and tho loss of more fortunes seems in sight, CharleB P. Taft, brother of former President Taft, having lost about $200,000.

The Urst object of historical Interest it the tomb built for Washington, lmmo dlately under the centerstono of the lloor of tho rotunda, which is the ex act center of the building. It is a small, square, vaultlike room, with about two-thirds of its side walls deeply recessed In arched alcoves, oi rather more like the recessed reliquary chambers In the tomb of Napoleon This vault was built up In the hole Is bo deep that nothing can bo pay 81,000 a week In interest nnd taxes. and bns become one of tho BlghtB of "HOMING INSTINCT" IN BIRDS Attachment to First Home Is Much the 8ame ns Is Evidenced In Humanity. Tho hnblt of birds In migrating South when wlntor comes on is in fluenced by tho need of finding a suf ficient supply of food. As food grows senrco when winter approaches in tho farthest northern places where birds Hvo thoy naturally turn to tho South, whore, their Instinct tells thorn, food will bo plentiful, Thn return of tho birds In ho spring to thoir accustomed haunts In tho North is ono of tho ovl donees of their possession of an In stinct which is also strong in mnn. Tho environment In which a bird or human being Is brought up generally becomes a pormnnont vnrt of its na ture Ornithologists hnvc not yet mndo It clear just what enables tho bird to find its way bnck nnd forth to tho Bamo spot overy year, nnd our knowledgo Is confined to tho fact of what tho "homing Instinct" docs. After they mato nnd build their first nest and bring up their first fam ily, birds cherish a fondness for thnt Bpot much tho samo as tho attach ment that man feels for his early home. Tho spring migration of birds Is thoir joyful return homo after a temporary sojourn abroad to securo tho means of livelihood. Tells What's the Matter With Him.
