| Mrs. L. C. Glover, Vice Pres. Milwaukee,®
Wis., Business Womans Association, is
another one of the million women who
have been restored to health by using
Lydia E* Pinkham's Vegetable Compound*
“ Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I was married for several years and no children
blessed my borne. The doctor said 1 had a complication of female troubles
and I could not have any children unless I could be cured, lie tried to cure
me, but after experimenting for several mouths, my husband became dis
gusted, and one night when we noticed a testimonial of a woman who had
beeD cured of similar trouble through the use of Lydia 13. Pinkliam's
Vegetable Compound, lie went out and bought a bottle for me. I used
your medicine for three and one half months, improving steadily in health,
and in twenty-two months a child came. I canuot fully express the joy and
thankfulness that is in my heart. Our home is a different place now. as we
have something to live for, and all the credit is due to Lydiu E. Pinkliam’s
Vegetable Compound. Yours very sincerely. Miss. L. G. Glover, 014 Grove
St., Milwaukee, Wis.’’ Vice President, Milwaukee business Woman’s Ass’n.
Women should not fail to profit by the experience of these two
•women ; just as surely as they were cured of the troubles enume
rated in their letters, just so certainly will Lydia E. Pinkliam’s
Vegetable Compound cure others who suffer from womb troubles,
inflammation of the ovaries, kidney troubles, nervous excitability,
and nervous prostration ; remember that it is Lydia 13. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound that is curing women, and don't allow
any druggist to sell you anything else in its place.
An Indiana Lady Tells Of a Wonderful Cure: —
“Dear Mrb. Pinriiam: It Isa pleasure
for me to write and tell what yonr wonderful
medicine lias done for me. I was sick for
three years with change of life, and my
physician thought a cancerous condition of
the womb. During these three years I
i suffered untold agony.
“I cannot find words In which to ex
press my bad feelings. I did not expect to
ever see another well day. I read some of the
testimonials recomending your medicine and
decided to write to you and give your treat
. ment a trial.
' “ Before I had taken half a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound, I began to sleep. I have taken now
six bottles and am 60 well I can do all kinds
of work.”—Mrs. Lizzie IIikki.e, Salem, Ind.

you, for no person in America can speak from a wider experience
In treating female ills. Address is Lynn, Mass.; her advice is free
ana always helpful.

Court Orders “Jim Crow" Bibles.
Six new Bibles have been ordered
by the judge of the superior court of
New Hanover county. N. C., while the
old ones are to be burned. Back of
this simple fact lies a new develop
ment of the race question, for the
judge has decided that hereafter the
icourt must use separate Bibles in the
swearing of white and negro witness
es. There will be a white Bible and
la black Bible, or, rather, a Bible for
.white witnesses and another for black
witnesses. No reason can be imag
ined for this departure, except the
fear of “race amalgamation.” The
■mere sanitary reason for drawing the
color line around Bibles does not
seem sound, since white men carry
around about as many disease germs
las black men.

Many Trees in Books.
It Is stated that nine of the most
successful recent novels aggregated a
sale of 1,600,000 copies, and the pa
per which these books were printed
on was made from pulp for the most
part. Now pulp paPer means the de
struction of many trees in the great
forests of the north, and probably
6,000 were 8acrific,'d for these novels.

Lou Dillon Trots in 1:58^2
Lou Dillon established her right to
the title ‘'Champion trotter of the
world’’ at Memphis, Tenn., in a way
that left no doubt in the minds of
horsemen that she is the most mar
velous piece of horseflesh the world
has produced. She trotted a miie in
1:58>4, that, all things considered, out
ranks the performance of Dan I’ateh.
The weather was cold and penetrat
ing and a stiff breeze Mew down the
hackstreteh. Her pacemaker, or wind
break if you please, was neither one
nor the other.
All afternoon Driver Millard Saun
ders waited in the hope of better con
ditions and then a half hour after the
racing program was completed he
brought out his charge with the an
nouncement that the great maro
would try, but that the spectators
should not be disappointed If she
failed, considering the circumstances.
Saunders nodded foi the word the
first score with “Doc” Tanner, who
was driving the pacemaker four
lengths in the lead and she was off at
what seemed like a 2:30 gait to those
not aware of the flawless, frictionless
gait of the trotting queen. It was
really a 2:00 clip she had struck and
Tanner, holding hack the runner so as
to prove a more effective windbreak,
miscalculated to such an extent that
Saunders made a move to pull out and
go past her. The runner drew ahead,
however, and past the quarter she
flew in thirty seconds.
The next quarter was half a second
fastpr and now the question came—
would she falter, facing the wind. But
was well trained and in fine condi
tion, but ills knockout punch was
gone. When Corbett fought Briggs
the Denver youth was fat and half
trained. but he took things much
easier than McGovern, and gained the
decision without any such strenuous
stunts as Terry had to undergo. If
McGovern lias lost the knockout
punch that was always his chief stock
in trade he might as well give up the
sport, or content himself with second
class honors. Terry won fights be
cause he could outhit any other mau.
and Terry without the hitting power is
worse than Hamlet shy tho melan

Baseball Clubs Make Money.
Baseball men have no cause to com
plain of the past season. In the Na
tional league Pittsburg cleaned up at
least $50,000. Cincinnati, with an ex
pensive and disappointing team, made
$10,000, and Brush in New York is
'$60,000 to the good. St. Ixmis and
Brooklyn broke even. Philadelphia
and Boston lost big money.
In the American league Cleveland
made $25,000; St. Louis, $10,000; De
troit, $10,000; Philadelphia. $50,000;
Boston, $60,000.
New York and Washington lost
money. Griffith's bunch In Gotham
probably dropped $25,000, and Tom
Loft us’ “Senators’’ must have been
$10,000 to the bad when the season
closed.
To sum it all up, there were only
four out of the sixteen leading Dali
clubs in the country that lost money.
Irom a financial viewpoint this is n
TROPHY WON BY LOU DILLON AT MEMPHIS.
This is a picture of the gold cup
which was fashioned for the Memphis
Trotting association, at a cost of $5,
000, last year, and offered as a chal
lenge trophy to am iteur drivers. In
the first race for it last fall E. E.
Smathers won it with Lord Derby.
He returned it to the association and
lost it when Lou Dillon so decisively
defeated Major Del mar in the south
ern city. It becomes the permanent
property of the gentleman who wins It
three successive yearr, or the club
which he represents. It was to get a
second leg under this cup that prompt
ed Mr. Smathers to pay $40,000 for
Major Delmar before he had trotted
his mile in 2:00 at New York. The
cup has three handles. It stands 11%
inches without the base and 13%
inches with* the base. Its capacity is
3%, pints.
no, on she flew faster and faster, the
Rpeediest quarter of a mile, the third,
being negotiated right in the teeth of
the wind in twenty-nine seconds, dem
onstrating her gamoness in an unmis
takable manner.
Down the home stretch they came,
the pacemaker seeming to be the only
one to falter, and involuntary the
shouts came from the stand, “Come
on with that runner!” “Come on!"
There waB no need for such Bhouts
for the mare. She wag coming as no
piece of horseflesh had ever come be
fore. She was coming on her courage,
coming on her stamina, and coming on
her willingness to do man’s bidding.
Urged she was, but no whip grazed
that proud back, no goad dared touch
that bundle of nerves, and none was
needed, for those dainty little legs of
hers were moving with the rhythm of
the dove’s wings and the speed of
the swallow's, when the timepieces
snapped 1:58% by tha three official
timers, and in many cases a quarter
second faster by those opposite the
wire.
Not the Old-Time Terry.
Eoth of those noted rivals. Young
Corbett aid Terry McGovern, have
been seen in action recently, and their
respectiv > showings did not make any
nf the c itics opine that Terry stood
much chance of ever defeating his
conqueror. Terry fought Jimmy
Briggs, vho was recently bested by

the floor by the Chelsea lad. Terry

for anything at least two of these four
losers will make good next year.
Promising Athletic Meet.
What promises to be one of the
most remarkable athletic meetings
ever held in this country is the threa
day meet that will be held at St.
Louis, Mo., Dec. 8, 9 and 10, under the
auspices of the New Missouri Athletic
club. The meeting will serve as an
introduction to the great Olympian
games and other sports that are to be
held in St. Louis next summer. The
games will be held in the Coliseum at
St. Ix)ul8 and a large sum of money
has been set apart by the club for the
games, and nothing will be left un
done in order to make the big meet
a success.

Gentlemen —-Last summer I caught a cord which seemed to set

Peruna in a similar case, and I at once procured some.
