When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain
remedy had cured numerous cases of female ills, wouldn't
any sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would
also benefit her if suffering with the same trouble ?

taking it I had been very sick with kidney and bladder trou

greatly improved. My friends who call to see me have noticed
u great change." Mrs. A. H. Sanborn, Irasburg, Vermont.
We will pay a handsome reward to any person who will
prove to us that these letters are not genuine and truthful
or that either of these women were paid in any way for
their testimonials, or that the letters are published without
their permission, or that the original letter from each did
not come to us entirely unsolicited.
What more proot can any one ask ?
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for
female ills. No sick woman does justice to
herself who will not try this famous medicine.
Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and'
has thousands of cures to its credit.

NO LOSS POSSIBLE
EVERY CARE IS EXERCISED IN
UNITED STATES MINTS.
The Smallest Particles of Gold and
Silver That Escape in the Minting
Are Recovered Through Vari
ous Processes.
It has been aptly said that no miser
guards his treasure more religiously
than Uncle Sam watches over the
precious metals that Dass through his
! mints. Then, too, the precautions
against waste are almost innumerable.
Kvery evening in each of the mints
of the United States the floors of the
melting rooms are swept cleaner than
a New England housewife's kitchen.
The dust is carefully put aside and
about once in two months the soot
scraped from every flue is transferred
to the same precious dust heap. This
is. then burned, and from its ashes the
government derives no inconsiderable
income. The earthenware crucibles
used in melting are employed no more
than three times. They are crushed
beneath heavy rollers, and in their
pourous sides are found flakes of the
precious metal.
In the . melting room, when ' the
casters raise their ladles from the
melting pots, a shower of sparks fly
from the molten surface of the metal.
For the most part they are bits of in
candescent carbon, but clinging to
the carbon is often a minute particle
of metal. Lest such particles should
escape, the ashes and clinkers below
the furnaces are gathered up at night.
This debris is ground into powder by
means of a steam crusher and then is
sold to a smelter, like ordinary ore,
at a price warranted by the assayer.
The ladles that stir the precious
metal, the big Iron rods, the strainers
and the dippers, all are tested in a
most curious fashion. After consid
erable use, they become covered with
a thin layer of oxidized silver, closely
resembling a brown rust. The imple
ments are then laid in baths of a
solution of sulphuric acid, which eats
away the iron and steel and leaves
the silver untouched.
Gradually the ladle, or whatever the
implement is, will disappear, and in
its place remains a hollow silver
counterpart of the original, delicate as
spun' glass. These fragile casts re
produce the ladle with perfect accur
acy in all its details, although their
surfaces are perforated with innum
erable little holes. Scarcely have they
been molded, however, before they are
cast into a crucible, to become in time
dollars, quarters and dimes.
In one corner of the melting room
there is a large tank, into which new
ly-cast silver bars are dropped and
j left to cool. Infinitesimal flakes of
silver scale off and rise to the surface
of the water, which acquires the
metallic luster of a stagnant pool.
Here is silver that must not be lost,
so beneath the pipe through which the
tank is emptied is banked a thick lay
er of mud. As the water filters
through it, the mud retains the pre
cious residuum. Four times a year
this mud is removed, and each ex
periment discloses the fact that some
$50 has been saved.
Wet and Dry Moons.
There is an old superstition, which
dies hard, that the position of the
horns of the new moon tells what the
weather will be; if the horns of the
crescent are on the same level, it will
hold water, and hence it Is a dry moon;
but if it is tipped up, then the water1
will run out, and It is a wet moon.
One thing has helped keep this be
lief alive; the moon is "dry" in the
part of the spring that is usually fair,
while it is "wet" during the season of
autumn rains.
If this were a sure sign of the
weather we could have our predictions
years in advance, for an astronomer
can predict the exact position of the
moon at any time in the future.
The cause for the different positions
of the crescent is simple: The moon is
south of the son in the autumn and
north of it in spring. The crescent is
found by the light of the sun falling
on the moon, and the horns are natur
ally in a line perpendicular to the di
rection of the sun from the moon.
That is all there is fo it.
Farms Without Children.
Seventy-two houses, 13 of them
empty, on 11 miles of road through
excellent farming country, is what a
correspondent in Moravia regards in
his lecture as a typical situation in
this state. The farmers down that
way are in a large measure elderly
men. Among the original families
deaths are more common than births.
The problem of getting help on the
farm is a distressing one. Mr. Par
ker suggests that men must be hired
from the city or village.
And of all the unhappy details of
the unhappy situation the most so is
the fact that in the 11 miles there are
only 25 persons less than 21 years old.
Homes in a city where children might
be, but are not, are deplorable, but
such homes in tbe country are not
only lacking In one of the things that
make home happy, but are without
one of the greatest sources of the
farmer's wealth, and are denying to
the nation what has been the basis of
its greatness, farm-bred boys and
girls. Syracuse Post Standard,
Never Dined There.
"I understand you dine with Come

90,000 AMERICAN
SETTLERS GO
TO CANADA
THE YEAR 1909 HAS SHOWN AN
INCREASE OF OVER EIGHTY
PER CENT IN AMERICAN
SETTLEMENT.
Recent advices from Canada, our
next door neighbour, the neighbourly
country across the boundary line,
are that upwards of ninety thousand
settlers from the United States went
into Western Canada during tbe past
year, most of them for the purpose of
taking up and settling upon the va
cant lands, 160 acres of which are
given free by the government, and
lands adjoining held by railway and
land companies are selling at from
nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per
acre. Even if thirty and forty dollars
per acre were paid, the price would be
low, as the lands produce wonderfully,
and at these higher figures there is a
large interest on the money and labor
Invested. The ninety thousand set
tlers of last year, followed about sixty
thousand of the previous year, and for
several years the number has been
running into these large figures. There
must be a reason for it. It may be
found in tbe single phrase, "they are
satisfied." Nothing attracts people
more than the success ot others, and
the news of this reaching other thou
sands, causes them to investigate. The
investigation in this case is always
satisfactory. The splendid land of
Iowa, of Indiana, of Nebraska, Kansas,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio
and other States has risen to a high
value, and it is worth every dollar
asked for it. But there is not room
now for all on these lands. With the
ever increasing demand for grain,
there comes the ever increasing de
mand for land. Canada is the only
country on the continent in a position
to supply it. ; Land there that costs,
say fifteen dollars an acre, produces
on a reasonable calculation, 25 bushels
of wheat to the acre, or about $20.00.
The most liberal calculation as to cost
makes the cost to produce $7.50 per
acre, leaving a balance of $12.50 per
acre. The $7.50 carries good wages
for the farmer, and all other conceiv
able contingencies. With conditions
like this, covering the entire area of
about 500,000 square miles, it is read
ily understood why 90,000 Americans
should follow the sixty thousand of
the previous year. Canadian Govern
ment Agencies at different points in
the Union are always ready to give in
formation regarding the free home
stead lands, ready to advise the set
tler as to the districts which would
wit him best. -

to her husband:

out a new fall dress, and with the

"James turned on her excitedly.
'What, wear that old brown clotb thing
