MORE PIMMM CURES Added to the Long List due to This Famous Remedy. Camden, IT. J. "It is with pleasure that I add my testimonial to your Already long list hoping that it may induce others to avail themselves of I this valuable medi cine, Lydia E. Finfc. ham's Vegetable Compound. I suf fered from terrible headaches, pain in my back and right Bide, was tired and nervous, and so weaklcould hardly stand. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta ble Compound re stored me to health and made me feel like a new person. Mrs. W. P. Valkntijse, 902 Lincoln Avenue, Camden, 2J. J. Gardiner, Me. "I was a great suf ferer from a female disease. Tho doc tor said I would have to go to the hospital for nn operation, but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound com pletely cured me in three months." MRS. 8. A. WllXIAMS, B. F. D. No. 14, Hot 89, Gardiner Me. Because your case is a difficult one, -doctors having done you no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. It surely has cured many cases of female ills, such as in flammation, ulceration, displacements, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and ner vous prostration. It costs but a trifle to try it, and the result is worth mii lions to many suffering women. CAUGHT. "I'll give you a penny if you can spell fish.- "C-o-fl." ' . "That ain't Abb."

Wagner Fooled the Critics. - Here is a story of Wagner's visit to London, In 1855: After the first Phil harmonic concert the critics re- .preacher) him for conducting a Bee . thoven symphony without the score. At the second concert, to satisfy his , audience, Wagner had a "partition" on his desk, which he frequently1 con sulted. The critics declared the im provement was marked. The - score, however, was Rossini's "Barbler do Seville." Used Dolls to Set Fashions. Long before women's newspapers 1 were - started,. and fashion plates in 1 their modern form were thought of, - women derived their knowledge of the fashions from dolts dressed in modern costumes, which were sent from one country to - another, more especially from Paris, which then, as now, was leading center of the mode.

Foskett Are Inves. tigated by Prof. William James of Harvard and Others and Arouse .Wonder. Boston. The marvelous psychic power of Fred E. Foskett, a young ma chinist of Orange, Mass., has attract ed the attention of Prof. James of Har vard and other leading members oi the Boston branch of the American Society of Psychical Research, whc have given him tests. The first of the tests was held at the home of Prescott F. Hall. Pror. Wil liam James and several well-known physicians were there, and test con ditions as nearly perfect as possible were made. Foskett was seated in the center of a room before a small table. There he performed every feat of the Hindoo fakir and the Buddhist adept. On the table was an ordinary kero sene lamp with a chimney and a flat 'wick, a pan and several quarts of al cohol. According to the reports of those present, Foskett succeeded in every test. ' , Before beginning the test Foskett took from 2u to 30 deep breaths. The first test was made with ordi nary sulphur matches. Foskett lighted half a dozen, one after the other, hold ing them with one hand so close to the fingers of the other that the flames' curled around them. He then lighted the lamp and held his hand:) above the wick, while the names curled ovei them and the soot completely black ened them. From one of these tests to another Foskett went, while the scientists held their breath- and watched every motion until he came to the climax. In this he poured a quart of alcohol into his basin, lighted it and then washed his, hands, bathing them for nearly ten minutes in the -burning fluid, washing It up over his arms and to his face , literally bathing himself in blazing alcohol. That completed the test As soon as it was. finished the phy sicians present examined Foskett, and they could not find the slightest trace of a burn or blister. Foskett told them that the, flames did not give him the slightest sensation of burning; that he felt comfortably warm and pleas ant, and nothing more. The second tests were made the next afternoon at the home of Prof. James in Cambridge, and under the same conditions as the day before. Considerable mystery Is thrown about them. Mr. Hall said they were so; startling that he did not care to diss cuss them until they had been tried again. Another scientist who was there said that Foskett performed alt of his experiments of the day before, and then "absolutely and positively de materialized." "He seemed to dissolve Into thin air as we watched him. Was gone 41 seconds And then materialized. It was so startling that we, I am afraid, lost sight of the test conditions, and we have asked him to appear before us again. It seems unbelievable, but it certainly seemed so. We hardly know what to think about it." Prof. James refuses to talk about the tests. According to those who were pres ent, Foskett seems in a passive state during the tests, and he says he thinks of nothing in particular. Those who examined him discredit the hypnotic theory. They believe he has some la tent psychic force that never has been studied. It Is Intimated that the secret lies in taking the deep rhythmic breaths, which, it is declared, is the foundation of the development of the power taught in India and the orient cen turies ago. By certain methods of breathing, it is taught by the ancients that in solitude and fasting the pow er of handling fire, receiving messages from astral bodies and other phenom ena can be accomplished. Prescott F. Hall, o fthe American Society of Physical Research, said he was soon to prepare a report for a scientific publication. "Foskett's pow er," said Mr. Prescott, "is not hyp notic and it is a power well known in the orient, where fire handling Is done extensively. . It used to be a test to see whether a aian was guilty or oth erwise of a misdemeanor; if he took the fire test and was not burned, he was considered innocent; if he was burned he had to suffer the punish' raent." COULD NOT SHAKE IT OFF. Kidney Trouble Contracted by Thou sands in the Civil War. James W. Clay, 666 W. Fayette St., Baltimore, Md., says: "I was trou bled with kidney complaint from the ' time of the Civil war. There was constant pain in the back and head and the kid ney secretions were painful and showed a sediment. The first remedy to help me was Doan's Kidney Pills. Three boxes made a complete cure and during five years past I have had no return of the trouble." Sold by all dealers. 50c a box. Fos- ter-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. NO TEMPTATION.

"I'm not so much afraid of mice as some women," said she, "but I don't like them in my 'hair. The other night I finished a biscuit I was eating after I went to bed and naturally left some crumbs about, not meaning to. never thinking of mice. "Well, about the middle of the night I heard scampering, and there were the mice all over my hair, trying to get at those crumbs. ('I tell you, I gave one shriek, sprang up. lighted all the gas in the room and sat up the rest of the night watch ing that pillow." MIX FOR RHEUMATISM The following is a never failing rem edy for rheumatism, and if followed up it will effect a complete cure of the very worst cases: "Mix one-half pint of good whiskey with one ounce of Toris Compound and add one ounce Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take In tablespoonful doses before each meal and at bedtime. The ingre dients can be procured at any drug store and easily mixed at home. Friendly Advice. "If I ever marry," said the bachelor who was beginning to be old, "I shall be careful to pick out a lady whom can treat as my equal." "Oh, say, old chap," answered the married man. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. I can tell you from ex perience thai a woman who would submit to such treatment wouldn't be worth having around the house."

The following interesting bit of in formation ' appeared in a Montreal paper: "Last December, in reviewing the ear 1907, we had to record a wheat harvest considerably smaller in vol ume than in the previous year. Against ninety millions in J.906 the wheat crop of the West in 1907 only totaled some Seventy-one million bushels, and much of this of inferior quality. But the price averaged high, and the total re sult to the farmers was not unprofit able. This year we have to record by far the largest wheat crop in the coun-' try's history. Estimates vary as to the exact figure, but it is certainly not less than one hundred million bushels, and in all probability it reaches one hundred and ten million bushels. The quality,' moreover, is good, and the price obtained very high, so that in all respects the Western harvest of 190S has been a -memorable one. The result upon the commerce and finance of the country is already apparent The railways are again reporting in creases in traffic, the general trade of the community has become active after twelve months' quiet, and the banks are loosening their purse strings to meet the demand for money. The prospects for 1909 are excellent. The credit of the country never stood as high. The immigrants of 1907 and 1908 have now been absorbed into the in dustrial and agricultural community, and wise regulations are in force to prevent too great an influx next year. Large tracts of new country will be opened up by the Grand Trunk Pacific both in Kast and "West. If the seasons are favorable the Western wheat crop should reach one hundred and twenty million bushels. The prospects for next year seem very fair." An inter esting letter is received from Cardston, Alberta (Western Canada), written to an agent of the Canadian Government, any of whom will be pleased to advise correspondents of the low rates that may be allowed intending settlers. "Cardston, December 21st, 1908. Dear Sir: Now that my threshing Is done, and the question 'What Will the Harvest Be,' has become a cer tainty, I wish to report to you the re sults thereof, believing it will be of in terest to you. You know I am only a novice in the agricultural line, and do not wish you to think I am boasting because of my success, for some of my neighbors have done much better than I have, and I expect to do much bet ter next year myself. My winter wheat went 53 bushels per acre and graded No. 1. My spring wheat went : 48 bushels per acre, and graded No. 1, My oats went 97 bushels per acre, and are fine as any oats I ever saw. My stock is all nice- and fat, and are out in 'the field picking their own three square meals a day. . The weather is nice and warm no snow and very .little frost. This, in short, is an Ideal country for farmers and stockmen. The stock requires no shelter or win ter :ifeeding, and cattle fatten on this grass and make the finest kind of beef, better than corn fed cattle in Ills. Southwestern Alberta will scon be known as the farmers' paradise ; and I am only sorry I did not come here five years ago. Should a famine1 ever strike North America, I will be among the last, to starve and you can count on that. "I thank you for the persona) assist ance you rendered me, while coming in here, and I assure you I shall not soon forget your kind' offices." Inconsistency.
