BREADS DOCTORS QUESTIONS Thousands Write to Mrs. Pinkhara , Lynn , Mass. , and Heceivo Valuable Advice Absolutely Confidential and Free There can be no more terrible ordeal to a delicate , sensitive , refined woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions in regard to her private ills , ? even when those questions are asked by her family physician , and many continue to suffer rather than submit to examinations which so many phj'si- cians propose in order to intelligently treat the disease ; and this is the rea son why so many physicians fail to cure female disease. This is also the reason why thousands upon thousands of women are corresponding spending with Mrs. Pinkham , daughter- in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham , at Lynn , Mass. To her they can confide every detail of their illness , and from her great knowledge , obtained from years of experience in treating female ills , Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women more wisely than the local physician. Read ho wMrs.Pinkham helped Mrs.T. C.Willadsen.of Manning.Ia. She writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham : " I can truly say that you have saved my life , and I cannot express my gratitude in words. Before Iwrote to you telling you bow I felt , I hnd doctored for'over two years steady , and spent lots of money in medicines besides , but it all failed to do RIO any good. I had female trouble and would dailyhave faintIng - Ing spells , backache , bearing-down pains , and my monthly periods were very irregular and anally ceased. I wrote to you for your ad vice and received a letter full of instructions ! Just what to do , and also commenced to take Lydia E.

Phvsi- cal strength is derived from food. If a man has insufficient food he loses strength. If he has no food he dies. Food is con verted into nutrition through tha stomach ach and bowels. It depends on the strength of the sto ach to what extent food caf/en is digested and assimilated. People can die of starv-ation who have abundant food to eat , when the stomach and its associate rirgans of direction and " nutrition" do not perform their duty. Thus the stomach Is really the vital or- pan of the body. If the stomach is "weak" the body will bo weak also , because it is upon the stomach the hp&y relies for its strength. And as the bouy , considered aS a vrhole. is made up of its several mem bers ana organs , so the weakness of the body as a consequence of "weak" stomach achwill bo distributed among the or- ' cans which compose the body. If the Body is weak because it is ftl-noufished that physical weakness wlU befound in all the organs heart , liver , kidneys , etc. The liver will be torpid and inactive , giving rise to biliousness , loss of appetite , weak nerves , feeble or irregular action of heart , palpitation , dizziness , headache , backache and kindred disturbances and weaknesses.

" The trim little woman inside the general delivery window of the Alvaretta postoffice looked furtively over her shoulder as she reached for a packet of letters. The man at the win- flow , a tall , blonde , curly-haired young Englishman , eagerly watched her swift fingers as they dealt away the letters , sighed as she smiled at him with "Noth ing to-day , Mr. Conynghame , " and stalked away. The prim clerk's big eyes followed him out of the door and lingered admiringly for an instant upon the ingenuous face as he stood in the blazing sunlight lighting his pipe. He was dressed in a weather-stained suit of corduroy knickerbockers , with a gray flannel shirt and a queer little cap that but half concealed the tangle of yellow hair on his fine head. Quite apart from the ordinary type of boom ers , with so odtl a name , and so strik ing a physique , it is not extraordinary that the prim Miss Fasset , the post master's daughter and chief clerk , "took notice" of Conynghanie. Twice a day thereafter , at 10 in the morning and at 6 in the evening , he THE GIEL WAS SITTING BESIDE HIM. tvas in line at the windowIt was no longpr necessary to give his name , and sometimes when he was far down ia , the file of waiting applicants she would save him a long wait by smiling at him from her U3We peep-hole and murmur ing , "Xotklnlf yet , Mr. Conynghame. " Then ho would lift Ms cap , "Thank you , " and lounge away only to be back again at his usualhour. . Often wlien she knew there was nothing for him she'd let him come up fa his turn , make a great show or seeking his letter , and then glancing coyly at him and shaking her head would say , "Mail's all late to-day , Mr. Conynghame , " as though to relieve him of tire embarrassment that always showed on his boyish face as he turned away empty-handed. Thus for two months he came and went , twice a day repeating his name , lolling away Into th'e everlasting sunlight but with never" a letter. Xot so much as a postal carfL Then suddenly he quit his morning ' call and appeared only at the last ino- ment before the window w.is closed. "You don't call so often , " Miss Fas- Bet ventured at last , blushing at her own temerity. "iXo.k miss , " drawled the Englishman , "it doesn't seem to be much use to call at all. My place Is seven miles out , and I'm trying to mabe myself com fortable for the winter. I'm castle- building out there. " "And do you drive in every any ? " she asked pretending to scan the let ters in her hand. "Drive ? . Not I , " said Conynghame , seeming glad to find her so talkative. "I haveir't a nag , you know , and I can't tramp It both ways in less than two hoars. " And tien she noticed that the smile oil his face was vristful and tired and that some of the ruddy bloom of health was fading from his fair face. "Couldn't you get some of your neigh bors to get your mail ? " But sh(5 ( was Berry the moment she said it , for that would mean that she wtfuld see lees of his fair face. "NeigUbors are scarce with me. You see I've gotten onto a rather poor claim rm afraid , and I seldom see anyone i-ntil I reach town. Besides , I get a bit lonesome , and I'm always hoping tb.it some time I'll get a letter. " lie was looking out into the fading light as he said this , and Miss Fasset thought she saw a glint of moisture in his blue eyes. But there was no let ter. Than day after day as she watched him Khe saw that his clothes was threadbare and soiled ; that his face was thin and pale ; that his big , nerv ous hands tremble and that the lig-ht in his oyea was growing brighter , more restless and fierce. "Letter for you ! " she kiughed gayly one cold evening when the first norther of coming winter was blowing down tile dusty street lie took it nervously , al most rudely , and almost staggered across to the coal-oil lamp that flickere-d dimly in the corner. She watched him open it and examine rts contents. Ho paused a moment and looked about to see if he was alone. Then he took a pin from his lapel , pat the contents infe an envelope , pinned and wrote some thing eutside with a lead pencil. Miss Fasset was Just closing the window when he came up , loo&teg ghastly pale , thrust the letter back at her and said , : "That's not for me , Miss.1' He ha < J written "Opened by mistake" across it , but as she looked at him she smiled re assuringly and answered : "It must bo for you , sir. There's nobody else of that name. " Together they looked at the postmark , but the Sate and place of mailing were blurred and unread able. It w-as addressed plainly to "Mr. Conynghanie , Alvaretta , O. T. , " in type writing. "It must be yours , " she decided. " 0 , but it isn't. Besides , there's money in' it I " "How much ? " "Ten dollars. " "Oh , then , that settles it ! If it isn't youns the real owner will come qjong looking for his money. Then I'll call on yon. " yt He would have j otested , but she slammed th window * shutter with a merry laugh and left him alone with the letter in hifc j& d. He was in the street before he rewpenScl the envelope and drew out a crisp , new $10 note. There wasn't aj-word wlt It not even -a scrap of letter papw. 'He crumpled the money ii his shaking hand , hurried down the street and rushed Into the English kitrfien toj-buy the first squace meal he hyft eaten for months. "I Lnovsut wasn't mine , " ho growled to himseSl as he turned up his coljai and faced the driving storm 6f sleet and rain , "but I've got $9 left , and If the other Conynghame asks for his lefr- tor I'll return what's left of it. " And. ' he staggered out across the prairie to ward the jlonelj * dug-out that he called "home. " When closing time came next day little Miss Fasset was annoyed. GEhe- big Englishman for the first tkne m months had failed to appear. Whether she now regretted trusting him wifci what might prove another's letter and money , or whether she suspected that he had gone off on what \Yesterners' call "a high lonesome , " is not certain , but whatever the cause , she "was wor ried and showed it in the frown her pretty forehead and the flash of her big , black eyes. ButjConynghame Game' not the next day , nor the next , nor any day thereafter for a week , and Miss- Prim. sure at last that Le had * "Juinnei the country , " was doing her very best. to despise or forget him when theca came a letter postmarked Liverpool ajid addressed "Dudley Conynghturae , Esq. . Alvaretta. Oklahoma Territoi-v , U. 3. . A. " At least there could bo norRifetaia , about that letter , and it got so strong - upon ASss Fasset's nerves that obliged to quit her duties before "I've got * a nervous headache , " she explained to her Indulgent papa , "and I'm going to take a long drive In the country. " So she bade Martha , the old negro housekeeper , to hitch up Dobbins , and set' forth for her drive. It was nearly 4 o'clock when she found Conynghamo'a claim. Unfenced , untilled , glaring red in the cold sunlight , it stretched across a desolate hill and sloped away into a barren , waterless valley. Not a house nor barn , no sign of occupancy gave them welcome. They had climbed the little knoll of shale and were about to drive away when Martha's black finger was raised , and she said : "Yander is a dug-out , honey. " And they drove across the crest of the red hill and found Indeed a low warren burrowed In the ground , its roof of clay looking like a mere anthill. Martha descended from the buggy and lum bered down the four steps cut into the earth. Having battere'd at the door without getting a response , she pushed It open and entered. In a moment she came up again , her black face almost gray as she said : "He's tha' honey , but fo' Gawd , he inus' be dyin' . " Miss Fasset found her Englishman asleep , the faded shadow of his once splendid self. By the light of the open door she saw what "castle building" . had been with Conynghame. He lay upon a heap of dry grasses in the cor ner. A few soap boxes constituted his furnishings. He had made some clum sy effort to brighten his cave-like home by papering its clay walls with news papers , but the rains had leaked in and streaked all with damp , yellow stains. "He's waking up , honey , " whispered Martha. "Ah mout skeer him , so Ah'll jes' go an' look arter Dobbin. " The girl was sitting in the litter of grass beside him holding his bony hand , when his big eyes opened and fell upon her. "I've brought you a letter , dear , " she whispered , and as he drew her down to him her tears fell hot and fast upon his face as he sighad , "At last" She pulled the letter from her pocket then and held it to him , but he weakly smiled as he bade her open it and read to him. She put a pile of empty sacks behind his head and propped him up so that she could see his face , and then she read the letter not aloud as she had intended but to herself , for it was the news of his father's death , a brief , business-like document from the legal executor. But finally she told him , gently , grad ually , tenderly , and when the first long storm of his grief was gone and he un derstood that his father had been 111 for six months , had received none of his tetters and had died alone at Carlsbad , the wasted giant looked up at the girl beside him , and wltlTa wan smile said : "Now we know why I didn't get any letters. " "Yes , It's plain enough now. " "But I did get one letter , " he whis pered , taking both her hands in his and * niiling again , "and there's at least some comfort for me to know that now I can repay you. " Elmira Telegram. Xot on Exhibition. Miss Julia Marlowe Is so unusually gracious in yielding to the many de mands that are made upon her time and patience , In the way of autographs , photographs , Interviews , and the like , that there Is small wonder she is not .more frequently imposed upon than she fe. Occasionally , however , there come remarkable requests at which even her good nature draws the line. Not long ago , while she was playing In Chicago , she received a note contain ing a plea so startling as to be almost incredible , and which was so amusing as to send her Into gales of laughter. It was from a feminine vocal teacher of 'the Windy City who stated that she laid great stress on her work , upon the formation of the throat In both the speaking and the singing voice , holding that certain positions of the vocal eords are requisite for producing full , niellow tones. She went on to say that e e had long been an ardent admirer of Miss Marlowe's voice , and requested that , as. a special privilege , she be al- ftwed to bring her class of young lady pupils to visit the actress , and let them look down her throat !
