Fearful Pains SUGGESTIONS HOW WOMEN MAY FIND RELIEF. While no woman is entirety free from periodical suffering, it does not seem to be the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. This is a severe strain on a woman’s vitality. When pain exists something is wrong which should bo set right or it will lead to a serious derangement of the whole female organism. Thousands of women have testified In grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham that Lydia 13. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Compound overcomes woman's special pains and irregularities. It provides a safe and sure way of escape from distressing and dangerous weaknesses and diseases. The two following letters tell so con vincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound will do for women, they cannot fail to bring hope to thousands of sufferers. Miss Nellie Holmes, of 540 N. Division Street, Buffalo, N. Y., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “ Yourmedicine is indeedan ideal medicine for women. I suffered misery for years with painful periods, headaches, and bearing-down pains. I consulted two different physicians but failed to get any relief. A friend from the east advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I did so, and no longer suffer asldidbefore. My periods are natural: every ache and pain is gone, and my general health is much improved. I advise all women who suffer to take Lydia E. Piukham’s Vege table Compound.’’ Mrs. Tillie Hart, of Larimore, N. D., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “1 might have been spared many months of suffering and pain had I only known of the efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound sooner; for I have tried so many remedies without help. “I dreaded the approach of every month, as it meant so much pain and suffering for me, but after I had used the Compound two months I became regularand natural and am now perfectly well and free from pain, i am very grateful for what Lydia K. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound lias done for me." Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham’a Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women. The success of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound rests upon the well-earned gratitude of American women. When women are troubled with pain or irregularities, displacements or ul ceration of the organs, that bearing down feeling, inflammation, backache, bloating (or flatulency), general debil ity, indigestion and nervous prostra tion, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, ex citability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. 1‘tnkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine, for you need the best. Don’t hesitate to write to Mrs. Pinkham if there is anything about yotir sickness you do not understand. She will treat you with kindness and her advice is free. No woman ever regretted writing her and she has helped thousands. Address Lynn, Mass.

An antiquary of Chicago took down from its hook a strange, old world instrument —an oaken wand ending in a T, one fork of the T a rabbit’s tail, the other fork a piece of embossed braes. “You can’t guess what this is,’’ said the antiquary, “It is an awakener; it woke up sleepers in church. Nowadays, what with vitascope sermons, phonograph ser mons and other latter-day devices, church congregations keep awake better than the ater ones, and awakeners are obsolete. But in th past it was not so. “In th past, men slept so much in church' that bequests were made to rouse them. Pious persons left certain sums for tho hire of an attendant to tiptoe through tho I church and call back from dreamland the- . various worshipers who had gone there. | Salem, Gloucester and Boston have had j such bequests. “The attendants carried wands of var- ; ious kinds.

I RHEUMATISM STAYS CURED' Mrs. Cota, Confined to Bod and In i Constant Pain, Cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Fills. Rheumatism can bo inherited and that fact proves it to be a disease of tho blood. It is necessary, therefore, to treat it j through the blood if a permanent cure j is expected. Ex -rual applications may give temporary relief from pain but as long as the poisonous &cid is in the blood the pain will return, perhaps in a new place, but it will surely return. Dr. Wil liams’ Pink Pills euro rheumatism be cause they go directly to the seat of the disorder, purifying and enriching tho blood. Mrs. Henry Ceta, of West Cheshire, Conn., is the wife of the village ma chinist. “Several years ago,’’ she says, “I was laid up with rheumatism in my feet, ankles and knees. I was in con stant jmin and sometimes the affected parts would swell bo badly that I could , not get about at all to attend to my household duties. There was one period of three weeks during which I was con fined to the bed. My sufferings were awful and tho doctor's medicine did not help me. “ One day a neighbor told me nhont Dr. Williams’Pink Pills and I decided to j try them. After 1 had taken them a short time I was decidedly 1 letter and a fovv more boxes cured me. What is better, the cure wras permanent.” Remember l)r. Williams’Pink Pills do not act on the bowels.

Wluows are clinging by temperament and attach themselves readily to any object that can't help Itself. It Is generally considered un lucky to meet a widow on a dark piazza by the light of the moon. In many countries to be kissed by a widow means endless trouble. Widows are frequently accompanied by children, whose number is constantly liable to Increase. They roam at large over the principal sections, and no man Is safe when they are near. All the perfect men now dead have married widows, thus forming a continuous contrast to tho miserable specimens who still live.

The Canadian West in the past five or ten years has given a set hark to the theory that large cities are the back bone of a country and a nation's best asset. Here we have a country where no city exceeds 100,000, and whore only one comes within easy distance of that liguro, according to the census Just taken and where no other city reaches a population exceeding 15,000. The places with a population over 5,000 can be counted upon the fingers of one hand, and yet the prosperity that pre- [ vails is something unprecedented In tite history of all countries past or present. The reason for this marvelous pros perity Is not hard to seek. The large majority of the 810,000 people who in habit Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al berta have gone on to the farm, and have betaken themselves to the task of not only feeding and clothing them selves, lint of raising food for others less happily circumstanced. The crop of 1900, although not ah- 1 normal, Is an eye-opener to many who previously had given little thought to tile subject. Ninety million bushels of «•- **it at 70 cents per bushel—$03,000,- i fasi; 70,000,000 bushels of oats at 30 cents tier bushel—$22,800,000; 17,000,- j 000 bushels of barley at 40 cents per bushel—$0,800,000; makes a total of $02,000,000. This is altogether outside ttie root products; dairy produce, and the returns from the cattle trade; the beet sugar Industry and the various other by-products of mixed farming. 1 When such returns are obtainable from the soil it ts not to be wondered at that many are leaving the congested districts of the east, to take upon themselves the life of the prairie farm and die labor of the husbandman. With the construction of additional railroads, new avenues for agricultural enterprise are oi>onlng up, and im proved opportunities are offered to the settler who understands prairie farm ing. and is willing to do his part In building up the new country. This Is the tliPine that Mr. J. ,T. Hill, the veteran railroad builder In the West, has laid before the people in a series of addresses which lie lias given at various points during the past few months, and, having been for so long Identified with the development of the West, there art' few men better quali fied than lie to express an opinion upon It. Take care of the country, says he, i and the cities will take care of them selves. The farmers of the Western States and the Canadian West are more pros perous than ever before, and when it comes to measuring up results, the Ca nadian appears to have somewhat the better of if- His land is cheaper, In fact, the government continues to give free homesteads to settlers, and the re- ; turns per acre are heavier when the : crop is harvested. Farming land in the Western States runs from $00 to $150 an acre and up, whereas equally good soil may he purchased in Canada for $8 to $15 per acre, within easy reach of a shipping jioint, and much jf this is available for free homestead- , lng. The quality of the Canadian No. 1 hard wheat cannot be beaten, and the returns to the acre are several bushels better than on this side of the line. The soil and climate of that country being peculiarly adapted to wheat growing. The fact Is evidently appreciated by the large number of American farmers who have in the past two or three rears settled in theCanadlan West. The agents of the Canadian government, whose uddress may be found else where. advise us tlmt for the fiscal year 1904-5, the records show that 43, 543 Americans settled in Canada, and In 1905-0 the number reached 57,790.
