" -k If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar to her sex will ask her neighbors this question , she will be surprised at the result There is hardly a community in 'this country where women cannot be found who have been restored to health by this famous old remedy , made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs. t 1i 1 ' - During the past 30 years we have published thousands fof letters from these grateful women who have been cured [ 1 by Lydia E. l Pinkham's Vegetable Compound , and never \ ftti all that time have we published a testimonial without 'the ' writer 's special permission. Never have we knowingly ' , 'published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine. titfere is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts that this is a true and honest statement of woman's experi ence with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write and ask her. . Houston , Texas. - " "WTien I first began taking Lydia E. Pinli iam's Vegetable Compound I was a total \vreck. I had been - ' sick for three years with female troubles , chronic dyspepsia .and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor's medicines , but nothing did me any good. "For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would mover get well , when I read an advertisment of Dydia E. Pink- liam's b Vegetable Compound , and was advised to try it. " \ I y husband got me one bottle of the Compound , and it did me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman ' .and enjoy the best of health. "I advise all women suffering from sueh troubles to give Xydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. They won't regret : it , for it will surely cure you. " - Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks , 819 Cleveland St. , Houston. Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.

The attorney for the defense jump. ed to his feet and objected that the conversation could not be admitted in the evidence.

"When laying down carpets put un der them a layer of burlap. You need not buy it but make it from the sacks which -coffee , potatoes , etc. , come in , Rip up ' anwash , then sew together with ' flat seams and make the same size as your carpet. Ernst , put a lay er of paper , then the burlap then the carpet. You will find that the dust : : that ! naturally works through the carpet will go through the burlap and will rest between / that anfl the paper and cannot be disturb ed in sweeping. : In fact it acts as a sieve , taking the dust out of the carpet , and also prevents -wearing out. - Boston Post. CLEANING- ! BRASS. Here is the government recipe for cleaning : ibrass. It is used in all the United States arsenals , and is , said to be the best in the world. This is the recipe : One quart of common nitric -acid to 1-2 a part of sulphuric acid. Keep the mixture in a stone jar , having ready a , pailful of fresh water and a box of sawdust. Articles to toe cleaned must first be dipped in -the - acid . mixture , then into the water and dried with -sawdust. This process of cleaning will change the brass immediately a brilliant color. If the metal is greasy , as candle sticks would be , dip first in a strong solution of potash and soda in warm . weather. This cuts the > grease and permits the acid to work. This ( meth od of cleaning brass is entirely harm- less , and is very satisfactory. - Bos ton Post - - NEW BATH ROOM FITTINGS.

It is an added pleasure to eat a a table ; that has dainty touches in the ' fittings and has a pretty floral 'decoration in the center. The fern bowl is one of the most popular methods of introducing a touch of green on the table. The fine asparagus ferns and the maiden ha.ir variety are used a great deal for this. Pansies are among the flowers that display to advantage on a table. A novel way , to arrange them is to mingle them with fancy moss in a flat dish. This supports the flowers so that they look as < erect as when they grew. An odd decoration was seen the other evening on a dinner table which was cool and refreshing look- ing. ing.A A rose bowl was filled with spark- ling mineral water , and the stems of the nasturtiums and , their leaves were immersed in it.

Eczema Came on XiCgs and Ankles Canadian Chief of Police Could Not Wear Shoes Because of Bad Scaling ; and Itching. "I have been successfully cured of dry eczema. I was inspecting the re- moval of noxious weeds from the edge of a river and was constantly in the dust from the weeds. At night I cleansed my limbs , but felt a prickly sensation. I paid no attention to .it for two years but I noticed a scum on my legs like fish scales. I did not attend to it until it came to be too itchy and sore and began getting two running sores. My ankles were all sore ahd scabby and I could not wear shoes. I had to use carpet and felt slippers for weeks. I got a cake of the Cuti- cura Soap and some Cuticura Oint ment. In less than ten days I could put on my boots and in less than three weeks : I was free from the confounded itching. Capt. George P.
