< " '_
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
Has an Unequalled Record of Cures—
Mrs. Pinkham’s Advice Is Confiden
tial, Free, and always Helpful
First.—That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
«uch symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful menstruation, leucorrhoea,
displacements of the uterus, pain in
the side, burning sensation in the stom
ach. bearing-dowa pains, nervousness,
dizziness and sleeplessness.
Second.—The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
It regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, all uter
ine and ovarian inflammation, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
menstruation perfectly and overcom
ing its pains. It has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing for childbirth
and the change of life.
Third.—The great volume of unso
licited and gratefifl testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass., many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give ab
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham’s advice.
Forift'H.—Every ailing woman in the
United States is* asked to accept the
following invitation. It is free, will
bring you health and may save your
life.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
to Women.—Women sufferingfrom any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Out of the vast volume of ex
perience in treating female ills Mrs.
Pinkham probably has the very knowl
edge that will help your case. Surely,
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take advantage of this
generous offer of assistance.

JUDGE PHILIPS’ BIG FISH.
.. t
Caught a 135-Pound Tarpon in the Gulf
of Mexico Recently.
“There is no fishing in the world
like the sport in the Gulf of Mexico,
where they catch tarpon,” said Judge
John F. Philips, recently in the Kausas
City Star. Judge Philips, looking
tanned and thoroughly rested, has just
returned from a fishing trip to the
coast of Texas. “I surprised the na
tives by catching six of those big fel
lows. The largest weighed 135 pounds
and measured 6 feet 10 inches in
length. It took me an hour to land
him after I had made the strike.
“The tarpon is caught on a heavy
line and a specially strong rod and
reel. I had just told my boatman that
I would go in for dinner and we had
just started to put back to the shore
from where we had been fishing, per
haps a mile out to sea, when I hooked
the big fish. By playing with him,
reeling him in and maneuvering back
and forth for an hour I finally pulled i
him into shallow water. The boatmen
then leaped out in water up to his
waist and. striking the fish with a gaff
hook, hauled him up on the beach.”
Judge Philips was a member of the
fishing party which accompanied S. W.
Moore, general counsel of the Kansas
City Southern railway, on a trip about
ten days ago. The party left the car
at Rockport on the coast of Texas and
went by boat to Tarpon island, which
is near the fishing grounds. “Catching
tarpon is strenuous exercise,” added
Judge Philips, “but as a sport it is
not equaled.”
NO VETO POWER IN OHIO.
Abolished by Constitutional Conven
tion Early in Century.
Ohio is the only state in which the
governor does not possess the power
of veto, according to the Brooklyn
Eagle.
The story dates back nearly 100
years to the time when Arthur St.
Clair was the territorial governor ot
Ohio. In those days the fee for a mar
riage license in Ohio was $2, and ac
cording to the law such a fee went
into the pockets of the governor. The
general assembly finally decided to
repeal the statute, and not desiring to
deprive the governor of this particular
source of revenue, two bills were
passed, one repealing the law permit
ting the governor to annex the mar
riage license fee and the other increas
ing his salary a proportionate amount.
But the governor, with a keen eye for
the main chance, signed the bill rais
ing his salary and vetoed the bill de
priving him of the marriage fees. The ■
general assembly passed the vetoed
bill over the governor's protest, but
Mr. St. Clair was sustained by the leg
islative council. There was a general
mix-up for a while and later the con
stitutional convention met and abol
ished the veto power. Fifty years
later, in 1852, another constitutional
convention was held, but all attempts
to incorporate a veto power into the
state constitution were defeated.
• The Wealthy Pauper.
Upon an office stool he sat.
And figured with his pen—
HI* pen was new, his years were few.
His weekly wage was $10.
But still he scribbled away patiently.
And never said a word;
And the clinking of the dollars was
The only sound he heard!
His raise came—and another—
But still he scratched away;
When he had made his pile, he said.
He'd take a holiday.
Tet. while the songs of springtime
The souls of lovers stirred.
The clinking of the dollars was
The only sound he heard!
And summers fled, and winters.
And love came straying by;
He closed his ears, as one who hear*
A Siren's melody;
And out among the meadows
There caroled many a bird—
But the clinking of the dollars
Was the only sound he heard.
Age crept up in the nighttime,
And bowed his busy head;
His eyes grew dim. each* stiffening 11ml
Was weighted as with lead.
“Was that death's echoing footstep?
Nay—'tis a thought absurd!”
(For the clinking of the dollars
Was the only sound he heard!)
Sad voices chant a requiem,
And still he does not hear;
Great earth-clods fall upon his pall.
But trouble not his ear;
And even the Choir celestial
Won't wake the senses blurred
By the clinking of the dollars—
The only sound he heard!
—Cleveland Leader.

MARKETING POTATO CROPS.
In line with the classic case of the j
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of Yale University in his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President Tuttle of the
Boston and Maine Railroad befoie the
Senate Committee cn Interstate Com
merce. Nothing could better show
how a railroad works for the interest
of the localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers
of the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels, which find a mar
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions of New Eng
land. The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota
toes always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out
put of the truck farms of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
and rains brought a tremendous yield
of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there
would have been a glut of the custom
ary markets and the potatoes would
have dotted on the farms. To help
the potato growers the railroads from
Michigan made unprecedentedly low
rates on potatoes to every reachable
market, even carrying them in large
quantities to a place so remote as Bos
ton. The Aroostook growers had to
reduce the price on their potatoes and
even then could not dispose of them
unless the Boston and Maine Railroad
reduced its already low rate, which it
did. By means of these low rates,
making possible low prices, the potato
crops of both Michigan and Maine
were finally marketed. Everybody
eats potatoes, and that year every
body had all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied
to the movement of all potatoes at all
times, to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston and Maine Railroad suffered a
decrease in its revenue from potatoes,
but it enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. If the making of
rates were subject to governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken,
because it is well established that if
a rate be once reduced by a railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape of governmental proce
dure. If the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine Railroad had
been subjected to governmental limi
tation they would have felt obliged to
keep up their rates as do the railroads
of France and England and Germany
under governmental limitation and let
the potatoes rot.- E hnn «\
