Mothers Should Watch the Development of Their Daughters-
Interesting Experiences of kisses Gorman and

MYRTLE MILLS
Every mother possesses information
is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
| Too often this is never imparted or is
. 'Withheld ' until serious harm has result"
ied to the growing girl through her
ignorance of nature's mysterious and
rwouclerful laws and penalties.
I Girls' over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and baffle
( physicians , as they so often withhold
.their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
'critical period.
j When a girl's thougnts become slug
gish , with/headache , dizziness or a dis
position to sleep , pains in backer lower
limbs , eyes dim , desire for solitude ;
> 7hcu she is a mystery to herself and
Iriends , her mother should come to her
.aid , and remember that L 'tlia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound will at
'this time prepare the system for the
doming change , and start the menstrual
iperiod in a young girl's life without
tpain or irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
'and ' from mothers , expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkham's
vegetable Compound has accomplished
Jfor them , have been received by the
'Ijydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. , at
Xynn , Mass.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham : ( Second Lottpr. )
44 It is with fiie feeling of utmost gratitude
that I write to you to tell youRhat your
valuable medicine has done for me. When I
wrote you in regard to my condition I had
consulted several doctors , but they failed to
understand my casp and I did not receive
any benefit from their treatment. I followed
your advice , and took Lydia E. Pinkbam's
Vegetable Compound and am now healthy
and well , and all the distressing symptoms
which I had at that time have disappeared. "
Myrtle Mills , Oquawka , HI.
Miss Matilda Borman writes Mrs.
Pinkham as follows :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
" Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound my monthlies were irregu
lar and painful , and I always had such
dreadful headaches.
" But since taking : the Compound my head
aches have entirely left me , my monthlies are
regular , and I am getting strong and well. 1
am telling nil ray girl friends what Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has dono foi
me. " Matilda Boraian , Farmingfcon , Iowa.
If you know of any younggirl wha
is sick an'ci needs motherly "advice , ask
her to address Mrs. Pinlcham at Lynn ,
Mass. , arid telllier every detail of-her
symptoms , and to keep nothingback. .
She will receive advice absolutely free ,
from a source that has no rival in the
experience of woman's ills , and it will , if

Ex-Gov. Udell $73OOO.
.Tames H. Hyde in his testimony be
fore the' insurance Investigating com
mittee in New York Tuesday practic
ally charged cx-
Gov. B. 13. Odell
with having black
mailed the Mer
cantile Trust Com
pany out of $75-
000 in settlement
of his suit to re
cover losses grow
ing out of the
shipbuilding com
bine tangle. Mr.
' " ' "
"TuTnViiyDr' Ode11 b5ld 5nvcsted
rather heavily in
the shipbuilding bonds. Mr. Hyde ac
cused Edward H. Harriman , Mr.
Odell's friend , with having advised the
payment of this mone } ' . He testified
further that Mr. Harrimau bad used
the Equitable's money in the notorious '
$50,000,000 Union Pacific blind pool tor
the purpose of facilitating bis control
of that road , and that the railroad
magnate , together with Henry C.
Frick , conspired , by means of the
report of the Equitable'sselfinvesti
gating committee , to obtain control of
the Hyde majority stock.
Mr. Hyde also said that the society
contributed $50,000 to the Repub- i
lican national committee in the last '
campaign $25,000
through the solici
tation of Mr. Frick
and that during
the year Mr. Frick ,

influence to have
him appointed Am

out of the country.
Edward II. Ilurriman , appearing as
a witness before the Armstrong legis
lative committee , flatly contradicted all
the sensational accusations made
against him by James Hazeu Hyde.
He denied that he had advised the set
tlement of Gov. Odell's * shipbuilding
suit against the Mercantile Trust
Company for $75,000 ; he denied tiiut
he had ever warned llydc that the
Mereantile's charter might be revoked
through powerful political influence at
Albany ; he denied , in fact , that lie
had ever taken the initiative iii any
way in the negotiations for the set
tlement of the Odell suit.
Ex-Gov. Odell charges .Tames IT.
Hyde with "uttering a base calumny"
on the witness stand. Odell denies iie
forced settlement of his shipbuilding
trust suit by threats to cause repeal of
'Mercantile Trust Company's charter.
He admits , however , he favored a bill
to repeal that charter , because * it form
ed so many corporations that failed.
United States Senator Denew testi
fied that Equitable trustee accounts
were hidden from him. He wants law
to prohibit campaign contributions.
James Hazen Hyde , who was the

at Harvard , whence he graduated in
1SOS , and in November of the same
year entered the service of the Equi
table as second vice president. Five
mouths later lie was elected vice pres
ident , and upon the death of his father
became one of the trustees of his es
tate. He is a director in over a score
of corporations and belongs to several
clubs.

Sir : Will you please for the futuro

bottles , how many pint aiul half bot

tried and could make nothing of it all ,
and my boy cried and sed he wouldn't
go back without doing it. So I had to
go and buy a nine-gallon keg of bore
which I could ill afford to do , and then
we went and borrowed a lot of wine
and brandy bottles , besides a few we
had by us. Well , we emptied the keg
into thebottles _ and ther were nineteen ,

Deafness Cannot be Cured I
by local applications , as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness , and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbling
eound or Imperfect hearing , nnd when It is
entirely closed , Deafness is the result , and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion , hearing will be destroyed forever :
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh , which is nothing but an inflamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness ( caused by catarrh )
