IMiikhnin's Vege table Compound — compared with it, all other medicines for women ure experiments. • Why has it the greatest record for absolute cures of nnj' female medicine in the world? Why has it lived and thrived and done its glorious work among women for a quarter of a century? Simply because of its sterling worth. The reason that no other medicine lias ever reached its success is be cause there is no other medicine so successful in curing woman’s ills. Re member tiieso important facts when a druggist tries to sell you something which he says is just as good. A Young New York Lady Tells of a Wonderful Cure: — ■ wear mas. 1 in'.viiam: — my iroume was with the ovaries; i am tall, anil the doctor said I grew too fast for my strength. I ! suffered dreadfully from inflammation and doctored contirually, but got no help. I suf fered from terrible dragging sensations with the most awful pains low down in the side and pains in the back, and the most agonizing head aches. No one knows what I endured. Often I was sick to the stomach, and every little while I would be too sick to go to work for t'.r-e • or four days; I work in a large store, an 1 I suppose standing on my feet all day made me worse. “ At the smrir *stion of a friend of mv J mother’s I begin to take Lydia E. Pinkhnin’s Vegetable Compound, and it i.s simply wonderful. I felt better after the first two or three doses; it seemed as though a weight was taken off my shoulders; I continued its use until now I can truthfully say I atn entirely cured.

It costs so much less, and it i.s sure to cure them.— Yours truly, Adelaide Fraud, 174 St. Ann’s Ave., Mew York City.” Women should not fall to profit by Miss Adelaide Prahl’s experiences; just as surely as she was cured of the troubles enu merated in her letter, just so certainly will Lydia E.

The First Decoration May 30 is Memorial Day, the day when pious hands the country over will place floral tributes upon the graves of the dead of the civil war. The following version of the origin of the custom is told by a veteran who wore the blue. ‘‘It was just forty years the 13th of last April," said he. "Two little girls —children of a Michigan army chap lain—were the first to lay spring flow ers on a soldier’s grave dug in Vir ginian soil, and from that little act of childish impulse grew up the custom which is now nationally observed, north and south. “1 was a member of the Second Regiment, Michigan Infantry, Col. J. B. Richardson commanding, which saw most of the fighting of the army of the Potomac until the war was well nigh ended. The chaplain of the regiment They must have had in mind the little arts of remembrance they had seen at the gravesides in the grass-grown cemetery at home. “On their way home the little ones planned to go next day, gather arm fuls of flowers and put them on all the graves. When they were about to set out on the morrow. Josephine told Mrs. May of their project, and the sweet thoughtfulness of this child fancy appealed to the older woman as it only could have appealed to a moth er who knew a hospital camp at first hand and had folded the hands of mor^ than one young fellow in his last sleep. With her companion, Mrs. Evans, a young Red Cross nurse. Mrs. May joined the children in gathering flow ers, and together they placed the blos soms on thirteen graves—all that they found. Union and Confederate alike. hand, htts advanced the claim of a celebration held at Watertown, N. Y., May 27. 1868. Certain it is that Gen. I ogan often referred to his first decor ation Day order as the ‘proudest act of his life,’ and the year it was Issued the first great observance was held at Arlington cemetery with Gen. Arthur as the orator of the day. It is equally certain that further to the south, a few years before, those two little Mich igan girls had begun the decoration of graves in a small way that as certain ly developed into the rational memor ial. Yet so far as I know no recogni tion has been paid to its girlish orig inators. ‘‘Chaplain May, his wife Marcia, and their two daughters He buried iu Mountain Home. Kalamazoo, Mich. VV’itli the exception of one year, the chaplain’s family remained with him throughout the war. Mrs. May was called 'an angel of mercy from God’ for her work at Alexandria. I recall circumstances when she literally stole dying men and smuggled them into the city hospitals that she might minister to their wants. She had of course the connivance of the surgeons—it was either that or leave them to die of neglect and lack of nursing, for in those first months of the war every thing was 'red tape.’ “Later on she bad a chance to serve SAILOR DEAD REMEMBERED. The Sunken Maine Being Decorated by the American Ladies' Memorial Committee. was Franklin May, a Methodist min ister. who resigned his charge at the first call to arms and marched to the front. There were three Mays in the regiment, brothers—two chaplains and the chaplain, for war blood seemed to run in their veins. Three Mays did I say? Four, for there was the cap tain's wife, and no pluckier patriot served the Union cause than the wom an who followed him to camp, first at Arlington and Alexandria and then at a point near Mount Vernon, which was known as Camp Michigan. She brought with her their two daughters, Josephine; aged thirteen, and Klla, perhaps five years younger. “One spring day at Camp Michigan —it happened to he April 13. the first anniversary of the fall of Sumter— the little girls were wild-flower gath ering. Their hands were filled when they came across a grave—a rough, unmarked mound that had closed in over some northern hoy for whom taps had sounded that first twelve-month. “ ‘Oh, let’s put our flowers on this grave,' cried Josephine, ‘lie is a sol dier boy.’ “In a trice the two were down on their knees heaping nosegays over that hare hillock and clasping their hands In delight at their happy contrivance. [ among the thousands that later were to rest at Arlington and along the shores of the Potoniae. "The next year they did the same tiling, and the next, each time in May. and now for the soldiers who fell at Fredericksburg and other battles in the Old Dominion. What they did was noticed and soon others began to do the same. There was opportunity for all. for as the months went by graves were multiplying faster than ever before in history, and before the close of the war the custom had spread quite widely. "In 1868'Gen. John A. Logan issued that famous order of his as command er-in-chief of the G. A. It. which set apart May JO as Memorial Day—a date chosen late in the spring in order to give the flowers a chance to outflank every snowbank in the north, however late the spring. Since then many of the states have made the day a legal holiday. “There has been some controversy here and there as to what source to attribute the honor of suggesting a decoration day. Gen. Chipman attrib uted it to a Cincinnati soldier whose letter concerning such a custom in Germany he laid before Gen. Logan. Gen. John B. Murray, on the other her country as well as humanity. She was at Alexandria in the spring of '615 when Lee began a series of suspicious movements, and no plan could be hit upon to ascertain his intention. Mrs. May’s woman’s wit found a way. She would assume her maiden name and under it visit the wounded and dying Confederates. As she cared for them she gained what she could of Lee’s movements and plans. With the sanc tion and promised aid of friends at Washington and Alexandria she then went to the Mansion House hospital, ignoring the Union men and offering sympathy to the prisoners. ‘ She gained not only definite knowl edge of Lee’s past movements, but a clue of the future—of his proposed ad vance on Fairfax. Alexandria and Washington. She even secured figures of the supposed strength of his Com mand and the proposed points of at tack. These facts she repeated to Secretary Stanton and accompanied him to President Lincoln. The presi dent listened with interest. Soon after lie made a tour with his cabinet of the locations referred to, and found them but lightly fortified. They were at once reinforced. When, at the exact day and points anticipated, Lee made his attack, they were not surprised. COLON CEMETERY, HAVANA, CUBA.

Two porters from the hotel whither the duchess was go ing had got into the car to help in un loading the trunks, but before they could get out the impatient officials started the train and they were car ried off to Parma, with a condiderable portion of the duchess’ baggage. Struck Against an Egg Menu. The servants at Harbor Hills, the country residence on Ixmg Island of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay. have gone on strike against a menu consist ing of eggs three times a day. Aiv cording to the complaining domestics it was omelettes, egg sandwiches, boiled eggs, roasted eggs, stuffed eggs or some other variety of the same dish in Lent and out of Lent, until Anally the chef was petitioned to change the menu. The man who presented the memorial was discharged 0:1 the spot, and then all the other servants but two went on strike. BE INDEPENDENT. It’s Easy to Shake Off the Coffee Habit. There are many people who make the humiliating acknowledgment that they are dependent upon Coffee to “brace them up” every little while. These have never learned the truth about Postum Cereal Coffee which makes leaving off coffee a simple matter and brings health and strength in place of coffee ills. A lady of Davenport. Iowa, who used Postum Food Coffee for Ave years Is competent to talk upon the subject. She sayst “I am a school teacher and during extra work when I thought I needed to be braced up I used to Indulge in rich, strong coffee of which I was very fond and upon which I thought I was dependent. “I began to have serious heart pal pitation and at times had sharp pains around the heart and more or less stomach trouble. I read about Postum and got some to try. I drop ped coffee, took up the Postum and it worked si: h wonders for me that many of my friends took it up. “In a short tiino 1 was well again, even able to attend evening socials. And I did not miss my coffee at all. Now I can truthfully say that I have been repaid fully for the change I nade. I have no indications of heart disease and not once in the past four years have I had a sick headache or bilious spell. “My father, 78 years old, is a Pos tum enthusiast, and feels that his good health In a large measure is due to the ti cups of good Postum which he enjoys each day.” Name furnished by Postum Co..
