Anderson, a prominent society gj •woman of Jacksonville, Fla., daughter of Recorder of Deeds, West, who witnessed her signature to the following letter, praises Lydia E* Pinkham's Vegetable Compound* “ Dear Mrs. Pintc it am : — There are hut few wives and mothers who have not at times endured agonies and such pain as only women know. , X wish such women knew the valuo of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It is a remarkable medicine, different in action from any > 1 ever knew and thoroughly reliable. “ I have seen cases where women doctored for years without perma nent benefit, who were cured in less than three months after taking your Vegetable Compound, while others who were chronie and incurable came out cured, happy, and in perfect health after a thorough treatment ■with this medicine. I have never used it myself without gaining great I eneflt. A few doses restores my strength and ajipetite, and tones up the entire system. Your medicine has been tried end found true, hence I fully endorse it.”—Mrs. li. A Anderson, 225 Washington fc>t_ Jack conville, Fla. Mrs. Reed, 2125 12.

Pinkliam’s Vegetable Cora \ pound. 4 “ I have been a great sufferer with female & trouble, trying different doctors and medicines f with no benefit. Two years ago I went under an operation, and it left me in a very weak condition. 1 had stomach trouble, backache, headache, palpitation of the heart, and was very nervous; in fact, I ached all over. I find yours is the only medicine that reaches suc‘h troubles, and would cheerfully rec ; i, ommend Lydia E.Pinkhani’s Vegetable * / Compound to all suffering women.” hen women arajtroubled with irregular or painful menstruat'on, weak ness, leucorrhoea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, flatulence, general debility, indigestion, and norvous prostration, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia 12. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. The experience and testimony of some of the most noted women of America go to prove, beyond a question, that Lydia E. Pinklmm’s Vegetable Compound will correct all such trouble at cnee by removing the cause and restoring the organs to a healthy nnd normal condition. If in doubt, write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass, as thousands do. Ilcr advice is free and helpful. No ether medicine for women in the world has received such wide spread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any substitute.

To the housewife who has not yet become acquainted with the new' things of everyday use in the market and who is reasonably satisfied with the old. we would suggest that a trial of Defiance Cold Water Starch be made at once. Not alone because it is guaranteed by the manufacturers to be superior to any other brand, but because each 10c package con tains 1C ozs., while all the other kinds contain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady who once uses Defiance Starch will use no other. Quality and quantity must win.

Ermine is employed as a trimming for all descriptions of garments and is frequently mingled with mink and chinchilla. Tho Henri Deux hat with pointed peak, high crown and sharply turned* up brim at the back, is greatly in favor Just now. He-'orningness is tne first rule with regard to a veil, and for general wear the most becoming is a fine diamond meshed net without spots. Improved Propeller Blades. Covering steel propeller blades with thin sheet brass or copper to protect them from corrosion has been suc cessfully accomplished by an English shipbuilding firm. The sheathing is closely imbedded to the surface eb neath, with specially constructed joints at the leading and following edges of the blades. While the ex periment was made simply to over come corrosion it has been found by actual tests that the steamers of the Clan Line which have had their pro pellers thus sheathed have shown con siderably better speeds with less coal consumption than sister vessels fitted with cast iron propellers. This ia probably due to the decreased friction of the water under the action of ihe revolving blades. A Remarkable Woman. Kokomo, Ind., Xov. 23.—Mrs. Amu M. Willis of this place, a charming old 'ady of 74 years, has given for publi cation a very interesting letter. Mrs. Willis Is widely/ known and highly respected and the recommenda tion she gives Is well worth the con sideration of anyone who may be in terested. Mrs. Willis’ address is R. R No. 6. Kokomo. Her letter reads sa follows: "I have been troubled with Kidney trouble for 20 years. It was so bad .hat it affected my heart and my back, it hurt so that I could not get up when down, and I began to think that 1 would be past doing anything. I was recommended to get Dodd’s Kid ney Pills and purchased some at the arug store of Mr. G. E. Meek. After ising several boxes I was completely restored. I feel 20 years younger, and I am able to do all the usual work .n the house and garden which a per son who lives on the farm has to do, although I am 74 years of age.” It’s no use a man's trying to be holy unless ho has made up his mind to b« honest. The road of prejudice never leads to the realm of truth. Dish Washing in Winter. Housekeepers naturally dread dish wash, lng In winter, owing to the fact that t. chaps the hands and renders them hard and rough. Much of the injury, however results from the use of impure soap. II Ivory Soap la used In washing dishes and the hands are carefully rinsed and dried, they will nor chap.—E. R. PARKER. Difficulties are meant to reuse, no discourage.—Channing. It Is a cheap makeshift to mock at what you cannot make. Old Sofas, Backs of Chairs, etc., can be dyed with PUTNAM FADELESS DYES. Our phrases are but the garment! of truth.

The Care of Bees in Winter—Building a Fence Over a Hill—Why Cold cured Cheese Is a Fa', orito With Consumers. Wintering Bees. Mr. John Fixtes, apiarist at the ex perimental farm at Ottiwa, giving evi dence by the standing committee od agriculture on the wintering of beea said: We have tried very extensive ex perimenta in wintering bees in the following situations: In the cellar oi a private house; in the root-house, where the roots are kept; in a pit, that is a hole dug in the ground on a hill side; out of doors, on their summer stands, and also in the house apiary. We found that wintering in the cellar is tiie best method in this section of the country, and I am safe in saying, it is better to winter in the cellar In any section of the coun try where the thermometer goes down to 10 below zero. The amount of honey consumed by outside wintering will bo about one-fourth or one-half \ more than it will be by wintering inside; in that way it compares very favorably with tho wintering of ani mals, if you winter an animal out around a straw stack, it takes very much more feed to keep up the animal beat, it is the same with bees. Keep the bees at an even tempera ture, 45 to 4G degrees, and in a fair's good eellar; it is not necessary that the cellar should be perfectly dry. The best way to arrange the hives in the cellar is to place a block about three inches thick under the entrance to the hive so as to raise them from the bottom board. Most people when they have purchased two or three hives, think that they must prevent the bees from coming out of the hive during tho winter and put tho wire gauze over tho entrance; the inevit able result is that they smother their bees. It is far better on the contrary to give them freo ventilation at the jottoru. Fence Built Over a Hill. F .W. B.—In building a fence over a hill, does it take any more posts, eix feet apart, than If tho fence were built on tho level? Does it take any more fence to go over the hill than Da the level? Ans.—The accompanying illustra tion should make It plain without fur ther explanation, that the fence would require more wire, but no more posts over a hill than on the level. The dotted lines continued down from the posts indicate where the post would stand on level ground. Two Hundred Miles an Hour. Some interesting experiments have been carried out with a new monorail system, devised by a French engineer, M. Devic. Tho inventor has built a model upon the scale of one-tenth of what the actual train is to be, and with this train he has attained a speed of thirteen miles an hour. The train is tc to be propelled by electric power, and in order that high speed may be attain ed tho inventor relies upon two factors —diminution of weight and a more ef fective gripping of the drive wheels upon the single track of the railroad. He claims to have designed a rail which will afford the wheels sufficient grip irrespective of tho weight which they are carrying. Further experi ments are to bo carried out with a much larger model at Nemours to prove the utility and advantage of the system. M. Devic is sanguine of at taining a speed of 200 miles an hour. Cold Cured Cheese Wins. Tests made by the New York Agri cultural Experiment Station on the curing of cheese in cold temperatures (40 deg.) have drawn out conclusions as follows: "1. The loss of moisture is less at low temperatures and therefore there Is more cheese to sell. "2. Tho commercial quality of cheese cured at low temperatures is better, and this results in giving the cheese a higher market value. *'3. Cheese can be held a long time at low temperatures without impair ment of quality. “4. By utilizing the combination ol paraffining cheese and curing it at low temperatures, the greatest econ omy can he effected." Diagnosing Bone^Fractures. A rather peculiar use for the tuning fork has been mentioned by a writer in the Chicago Medical Recorder, that of locating frncturea, especially of the long bone*. The test is made by plac ing the bell of a stethoscope over the bone, near the supposed fracture, where the soft tissues are as thin as possible, and the handle of a tuning fork as close to the bone as possible beyond the supposed stat. of fracture. The sound will be transmitted through the bone to the Instrument and thence to tha ear of the examiner. When the bone Is intact, if the test is properly made, the sound w 11 be heard with great distinctnwns; but If there is a lack of continuity the sound will either not be heard at all or will be heart very faintly.

A man was standing at one end of a street car and a lady was standing at the other end. There was one vacant seat and the conductor called the lady's attention to it, but she preferred to remain where she was. The vacant seat was between two ladies, and one of these ladies sat next to a man. The other lady by the vacant scat tried to get the lady by the man to move next to her so that the man who was standing could sit down by the man who was seated. The lady next to the man did not move, though the other lady pulled her by the sleeve and motioned for her to sit near her. In place of sitting down between the two ladies the man began to won der if the lady who would not move could be the sister or wife of the man who sat by her, and while bo was wondering another man back of him eame forward and took the seat. Then the man who was standing soon saw the lady about whom ho was wonder ing got off from the ear alone. Would some men hesitate to sit between two ladies just because a person by mo tion without words had hinted that it might lie better to sit between a man and a lady than between two ladies? Dictionary-Directory. An office man came in and asked the manager for the dictionary. The manager opened his eyes and said, ‘'Dictionary!1' Then the office man corrected him self und explained that he meant di rectory. The office man made the same error several times, then began to hunt for cause and cure. In his youth he had been a frequent user of a dictionary about the size of the directory which occasionally he borrowed of the manager. When he wanted the directory he wanted a big book and his voice was used to saying dictionary. As he started to borrow the dirce tory he would begin to think of other subjects and unconsciously let his voice box work without the attention of his head. When the voice lwx is left to man age itself it follows the path of least resistance or previous ways due to habit. He conquered this to him an easy error by talking it over with himself and reviewing his mistake and advis ing himself to be more cautious. We are able to form habits of -cau tion by starting, repeating and keep ing at it. You try telling yourself that you had better watch yourself when doing so and bo next time and you may find it quite a help to your mem ory and better judgment. Best Way to Find Truth. Babies are cared for in many cases just as well as the mother knows how to, yet In these very cases the babies often suffer much. What should he done? Good books on baby science reach a few. Scattered articles In periodicals reach many more. All who read do not apply because they do not see the practical side. Some never think of putting into practice the useful things found while reading. Here Is one plan: First, want to know more. Study self, study baby, study baby’s nest, clothes and sur roundings. Do not experiment much, but fall in love with "taking better care of baby.” The next, friend you meet may know something of great use to you and baby, but you do not know what that Information is; neith er does your friend. The only way to find unknown useful truth Is to ask questions and exchange valuable knowledge at every opportunity with everyone you can. Just Four Hours. A father found his daughter's desk slock stopped and when he asked her if she would lfke it started she said she would. He wound it up, looked at Ills watch and set tho minute hand, but forgot to set the hour hand. As he set It down he glanced at it again to audit his work and discovered .hls error—it was just four hours slow. Hls auditing glance took no time—no extra time—as he did it while replac ing the timepiece, and his doing It saved his work on it and he is more cautions than ever, which means in creased personal skill. An Example in Self-Control. Having gin n a city daiiy some ideas on the com of mistakes, from which a reporter made a half-page article. I offered to give another daily newspa per in the same town some other Ideas on the same subject. The editor nu t my offer with skep ticism, cynicism and ill-will. My eyes began to open and I was just on the point of offering the editor a defini tion of his manners when I recalled the belV-f for my private benefit that it Is better for both t<> overcome evil with good than for me to bo a party to a bl-blunder. The one who gets angry gener.illj rots left. I declared my earnestness and insisted that my subjects were mutually useful. Then the editor called a skillful writer. I was introduced, an appoint ment made, the interview given and a very readable column prepared. One of the best papers in N’ow York City reprinted the article and a gen eral passenger agent, of a Western railroad reprinted It for his employes. Many of my friends spoke about being Interested in it. Newspapers here and there are re printing that article and individuals are borrowing my copy to read. That skillful writer clothed my ideas tetter than 1 was able to ami l was in structed on my own subject by read ing my own ideas presented to the public by the man whom the editor called. Is not all this better than criticising a critic and leaving him in a mutually ugly manner? I think It is because I believe in leaving people in a way to go back to them without any hesitancy any time I wish to do so. Why the Sisters Changed Seats. Miss Little and her big sister and thoir mother were near me at a recent evening service. The speaker's voice was not at its best and 4? subject was heavy. Soon Miss Little's head tell into her sister's lap. • But the youthful brain rested about as easily as the head that wears a crown. In a few minutes Miss Little coaxed her Bister to change chairs with her so she could sit next to her mother. Then the little brain found rest and peace, and 1 caught an element of pop ularity, and began analyzing condi tions. The big sister was tall and slim and had on no wrap, and she was more In terested in the program than in Miss Little’s personal comforts. The mother was large and fleshy and had on a fur coat, and she knew that the tired head would have been better off in bod than there but the next thing to a bed for Miss Little was to be within the arm and against the heart of her best friend. Popularity is due to reputation, physical stability und warmth, and an interest in the personal comforts of others. 1 know of elderly people near whom I study to be, at every oppor tunity, because there is sunshine In their souls. Ths Angel Wing Hat Girl. We had a picture frame which con tained a picture we did not admire, though when I purchased It It was my choice of many. Sometimes pic tures do not wear well, the same as an ornament which you may have ad mired at first, but soon tire of. In selecting another picture for this frame, a rural scene with many peo ple in it was chosen. One of the first remarks of an observer was regarding the hat of a little girl which hung down her back in a way to resemble an angel’s wing. The aitist may not have intended any such resemblance, and my attention had to be called to it before I noticed It. When you see something useful or interesting and new to you. please call my attention to it, because I may never see it ex< eept througn your instruction. If you read something in a newspaper and want to cut it out for your own scrap book or collection, tell me who.-e to buy it for my readers and my own personal benefit. Hct Air for Melons. One of my neighbors lias a melon patch ftnd for two years the cold sum mers have made it nearly a failure. As I go by it I have a chance every day to see the green halls on the ground and think of various tilings. Certain men, as weli as melons, need “hot air,' as nothing else appears to be able to bring them out of their sluggishness. There is a place in this world for the enthusiast who does nothing but talk, for the animation of hearers and the benefit of sleepy ones. A great many people could have their ability Increased ten, twenty or thirty per cent by absorbing some of the enthusiasm of ihe enthusiast. Value of Recorded Information. When a person dies, a vast amount of practical and highly valuable infor mation is lost if unrecorded. Much of it may be and often is recorded in someone’s memory, but the choicest wisdom is lost. One may will his body to science, l*ut rarely will on* reveal experiences which are general ly supposed to be dishonorable. Hard ly one in a million will try to prevent suffering by any such method.
