For Forty Years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound Has Been
Woman's Most Reliable Medicine
Here is More Proof,
To women who are suffering from some form of
woman's special ills, and have a constant fear of breaking
down, the three following letters ought to bring hope:-
North Crandon, Wis. "When I was 1G yeara
old I got married and at 18 years I gavo birth to
twins and it loft mo with very Txor health. I could
not walk across tho floor without having to sit
down to rest and it was hard for mo to keep about
and do my work. I went to a doctor and no told
mo I had a displacement and ulcers, and would
havo to havo an operation. This frightened mo so
much that I did not know what to do. Having
hoard of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
I thought I would givo it a trial and it mado mo as
well as ever. I cannot sav enoueh in favor of tha
Pinkhaui romedies." Mrs. Mayjie
Testimony from Oklahoma.
Lawton, Okla. "When I began to take Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound I seemed to bo good for nothing. I tired easily
and had headaches much of the timo and was irregular. I took it again
beforo my littlo child was born and it did me a wonderful amount of
good at that time. I never fail to recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vcgetablo Compound to ailing women because it has done so muoh
for me." Mrs. A. L. MoCasland, COO Have St., Lawton, Okla.
From a Grateful Massachusetts Woman.
Roxbury, Mass. "I was suffering from inflam
mation and was examined by a physician who found
that my troublo was caused by a displacement.
My symptoms were bearing down pains, backache,
and sluggish livor. I tried several kinds of medi
cine ; then I was asked to try Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. It has cured mo and I am
pleased to bo in my usual good health by using it
and highly recommend it." Mrs. B. M. Osgood,

NO STEADY JOB FOR HIM
Theophllus Had Good Renson for Giv
ing Up Banjo Playing Threat
ened With Awful Disaster.
A southern man tolls of a darky
named Theophllus Baxter, known as
"tho champion hanjo player of Ala
bama." Wishing to afford a northern friend
an example of real darky music, a
Mobile woman went to Baxter's houso,
with a view to enlisting his services
at a musical function. Shu found his
wife instead.
"Very, sorry, missy," said Baxter's
spouse, "but Thcophilus ho ain't play
in' do hanjo any moro. Ho Jest puts
In all his timo fishin' now."
"What led him to givo up his play
ing?" asked tho disappointed caller.
"Has ho got religion?"
"No, missy, ho ain't got religion,
but he's dono got skecred."
"Scared? Of what?"
"Of dat minstrel show, honey. Do
boss learns dat my olo man kin play,
an ho offers him a stiddy job doin' it.
Yassum, an' it skcored Thcophilus so
bad dat ho quit banjo playin' right
away." Philadelphia Ledger.
Strategy.
"How in tho world do the Thomp
sons manage to keep their maid so
long? She's been with them nearly
a year, and wo haven't been ablo to
keep one over a month since wo
moved out hero to Lonesomehurst." '
"That's easy. Thompsons don't pay
tho maid hor wages, and. she can't got
back to town unless sho walks."
Perkins' Paradox.
"Can't Perkins support his wife?"
"Why, ho can Bupport her all right,
but ho claims that sho is insupport
able." Misery makes sport to mock Itself.

COMBINED COOP FOR CHICKS
Pen Large Enough to Accommodate
Four Hens Designed by University
of Missouri Experts.
(By rriOK. 11. U. K13MPSTER. Univer

A combined hatching, brooding and
housing coop which is largo enough to

away with tho littlo "A"-shaped coopu
which are commonly given to hons
after thoy havo hntched their broods
and which aro soon outgrown by what
chicks remain after tho spring rains
and rats havo taken their toll.
Tho coop is throo feet wido, six feet
long, two feet high In tho roar and
three foot high In front. A door eight
inches high runs tho ontiro length of
tho back so as to permit easy access to
tho hen. Tho front consists of four
little doors covered with rat-proof wire
netting. Thcso slldo up and down.
Just beneath the eaves is a door a foot

opening mado by this door Is covered
with wire screen also. By opening
this door sufllcient light is afforded,
and also protection from rains. In
front of this coop is placed four run
ways corresponding to tho four open

GOOD HINTS ABOUT GUINEAS
Hard to Estimate Number of Eggs
Females Lay on Account of Their
Habit of Hiding Nests.
Tho guineas aro good layers, but
owing to their skill in hiding their
nests and their habit of changing their
nest if it is disturbed, if is hard to
say how many eggs they will lay, pos
sibly CO to 100. Guineas are inclined
to bo monogamous; that is, to havo
but ono mate, but a malo will mato
with two females. Poor hatches usu
ally result If moro females aro placed
with a male.
Young guineas aro fed llko young
turkeys, with curds, bread and milk
or boiled eggs and broad crumbs tho
first week, always mixing onco a day
with sand, and for overy meal mak
ing one-third of tho meal green food,
chopped onion or dandelion tops.
Finely chopped lettuce is good when
plentiful. Unless thoy havo a good
run thoy should havo plowed fields
to roam ovor; this Is not necessary.
When thoy are largo enough to be
given freo rango thoy will pick up
most of their living, but should al
ways bo fed at night, to givo them tho
