Middleburg, Pa.—“I am glad
to state that Lydia E. Pinkham’a
VegetableCompounddidmemuch
good when I was 35 years old. I
was run down wi th female trouble
and was not able to do anything,
could not walk for a year and
could not work. I had treatment
from a physician but did not gain.
I read in the papers and books
about Lydia E Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound and decided to
try it IWfirst few bottles gave
me relief and I kept on using it
until I got better and was able to
do my work. The Vegetable Com
poundalso regulated my daughter
when she was 15 years old. I can
recommend Vegetable Compound
as the best medicine I have ever
used.”—Mrs. W. Yerger, R. 3,
Box 21, Middleburg, Pa.
rail River, Maas. — “Three
years ago I gave birth to a little
girl ana after she was born I did
not pick up well. I doctored for
two months and my condition re
mained the same. One day one
of your little books was left at
my door and my husband sug
gested that I try a bottle of Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound. I started it immediately
and I felt better and could eat |!
better after the first bottle, and
I continued taking it for some
time. Last year I gave birth to
a baby boy and had a much easier
time as I took the Vegetable
Compoundfor four months before
baby came. On getting up I had
no pains like I had before, and no
dizziness, and in two weeks felt §,
about as well as ever.”—Mrs.
Thomas Wilkinson, 363 Colum

THE NEWER COLONISTS.
What is to become of the old Ameri
can stock is a very serious question.
Furthermore, it Is one which cannot be
put aside for consideration at a later
day.
A federal official located in Chicago
has a chart prepared for the purposes
of his office which shows that two
thirds of the Chicago population were
either bora abroad or are the children
of parents born abroad. Hut. some one
replies, the Chicago population is not a
fair sample of an American population.
The children’s bureau of the depart
ment of labor reports that 65.2 per cent,
of the population of Saginaw. Mich., is
made up of two classes—foreign born
and the children of the foreign born. In
Manchester, N. H.. the percentage is 77.
However, in a rural county in Kansas,
it is only 23 per cent.
Since 1880 nearly 24.000.000 immigrants
have come Into the United States. Fur
thermore, among these groups the birth
rate is high, while It is low among all
other populations, including the Irish,
Hermans, and Scandinavians who came
here prior to 1S80.
I am not saying that the stock of the
foreign born is not good. There is much
to be said on both sides of that ques
tion. My contention is that the old
American stock is passing away. It Is
up to the members of that stock to de
cide w’hether the tendency should be
remedied and how.
The department of economics and soci
ology recently published the results of
an investigation of the families of un
dergraduates in Mount Holyoke college.
More than 99 per cent of these students
were native born, while 82 per cent were
pative born of native parents. Informa
tion was obtained as to the families of
620 students, the great majority of old
American stock,
The inquiry revealed the number of
children of their own mothers, grand
mothers, and great-grandmothers. The
average number of children in the fami
lies of the great-g#ndmothers was 6.19,
of the grandmothers 5.09, of the mothers
3.15. If a similar decrease should take
place for another tw'o generations the
average number of children would be
less than 1. To maintain the family
stock an average of almost four chil
dren to the family 1b required. The
students at Holyoke were selected for
study because they are drawn from typ
ical familiess In the main of old Ameri
can stock.
If anything the average number of
children to the family among the native
stock is less than 3.16. We recall the
study of birth rate among the Mayflower
descendants published a few years ago.
As far back as 1870 the director of the
census warned the American people of a
dangerous downward tendency In the
birth rate. . _
In 1880 the director repeated his warn
ing. making the statement that in cer
tain sections of the country the birth
rate of the old native stock was not
high enough to maintain the stock. Since
that time the birth rate among the
racial groups coming mno --
and 1S80 has likewise fallen.
Making of a Friend.
We nodded as we passed each day
And smiled and went along our way;
I knew his name, and he knew mine.
But neither of us made a sign
That we possessed a common tie;
We barely spoke as we passed by.
How fine he was I never guessed
The splendid soul within his breast
I never saw. From me was hid
The manly kindly deeds he did.
His gentle ways I didn't know
Or I’d have claimed him long ago.
Then trouble came to me one day
And he was first to come and say
The cheering words I longed to hear.
He offered help, and standing near
I felt our lives in sorrow blend,
ljly neighbor had become my friend.
How many smiles from day to day
I’ve missed along my narrow way;
How many kindly words I've lost,
What joy has my lndife.rence cost!
This glorious friend that Now I know.
Would have been friendly years ago.
The bud but very little shows
To tell the beauty of the rose,
And him we greet In passing by
With scare a nod, the day we Blgh
May blossom as the storms descend
With all the beautfy of a friend.
—Kdgar A. Guest, In the Rotarian.
Undue Speculative Activity.
From the New York Journal of Com
merce.
Feverish "boosting” of prices on the
stock exchange, followed by equally un
warranted and sudden reactions with
"bear raids,” alternating with "manip
ulation” to advance prices, have again
been renewed and brokerage houses are
once more forecasting a period of easier
money with relaxation on the part of
the banking authorities designed to per
mit greater speculative activity. It Is
announced that the public is again back
in the market, and that what appears to
be likely to be a new "boom” is under
way.
It is to be hoped that these manifesta
tions are only temporary and that they
do not represent the attitude of any
responsible section of the financial com
munity. There has been a mushroom
growth of speculators and speculative
operations during the past two or three
years and operators who have profited
by the excited movements of stocks are
loath to let go until they have extracted
the last possible dollar of profit through
the manipulation of •qprlcea.
Spring’s Ballet.
“ When Spring rolls up the curtain
Of rainbow bordered showers.
Upon her stage of vernal green
Appear the dancing flowers;
The daffodil In yellow,
The violet In blue.
The velvet pansy cherishing
An amulet of dew.
In tints of palest purpls
And azure, white and gold
And every shade of dainty pink
The crocuses unfrtd,
like rows of Incandescent!
That fairy fingers string
Across thi lawn—the footlights
Of the ballet of the spring)

should be made
artistic, sanitary
and livable.
These walls should be Alabastined in the latest,
up-to-the-minute nature color tints. Each room should
reflect your own individuality and the treatment
throughout be a complete perfect harmony in colors.
The wall* of the old home, whether mansion or cottage, can be
made just as attractive, just a* sanitary, through the intelligent use of
Instead of kalsomine or wallpaper
How much better, when you have a new home, to rtart right than to have
to correct errors afterward from former treatment with other materials, when
you come to the use of Alabastine, as does nearly every one sooner or later.
Once your walls are Alabastined you can use any material over it
should you desire, but having used Alabastine you will nave no desire for
any other treatment.
Alabastine is so easy to mix and apply — so lasting in its results — so
absolutely sanitary — and so generally recognised as the proper decorative
material in a class by itself that it is becoming difficult to manufacture fast
enough to supply the demand.
LAlabastine is a dry powder, put up in five-pound packages, white and
beautiful tints, ready to mix and use by the
addition of cold water, and with full directions
on each package. Every package *f genuine

of the body; of course, when the cause it
removed, the sufferer gets well.
Bloating, indigestion, sour, acid, gassy
stomach miseries all removed. This is
proven by over half a million ailing folks
who have taken EATONIC with wonder
