Dear Mrs. Pinkham s I can conscientiously recommend Lydla 13b Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to those of my sisters Buffering with female weakness and the troubles which so often befall women. I Buf fered for months 'with ceneral weakness, and felt so weary that I had hard work to keep up. I had shooting pains, and was utterly miserable. In my distress I was advised to use Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound, and it was a red letter day to me when I took tho first dose, for at that time my restoration began. In six weeks I was a changed woman, perfectly well in every respect. I felt no elated and happy that I want all women who suffer to get well as I did." Miss Guila Gaknon, 859 Jones St, Detroit, Mich., Secretary Amateur Art Association. It Is clearly shown In this young lady's letter that Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will certainly euro the sufferings of women ; and when one considers that Miss Gannon's letter is only one of the countless hundreds which we are continually Eublishiiiiir in the newspapers of this country, the great virtue of Mrs. Pink atn's medicine must be admitted by all ; and for the absolute cure of all kinds of female ills no substitute can possibly take its place. Women should bear this important fact in mind when they go into a druff Store, and be sure not to accept anrthin)? that is claimed to be " just as good " as Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, for no other medicine for female ilia has made so many actual cures. How Another Sufferer Was Cured. Dear Mrs. Pixkham: I cannot praise your wonderful remedies enough, for they have done me more good than all the doctors I have had. For the last eight years and more I suffered with female troubles, was very weak, could not do my housework, also had nervous pros tration. Some days I would remain unconscious for a whole day and night. My neighbors thought I could never recover, but, thanks to your medicine, I now foel liko a different woman. . M I feel very grateful to you and will recommend Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Comiound to all. It has now leen four years since I had the last spell of nervous prostration. I only weighed ninety eight pounds at that time ; now I weigh one hundred and twenty-three. "I consider your Vegetable Compound the finest remedy made. Thanking you many times for the benefit I received from your medicine, I remain, Yours truly, Mus. J. II. Farmer, 2809 Elliott Ave, St. Louis, Mo.

Sweeping changes In the ministry of the Interior are anticipated. Little of the Plehve regimes Is expected to survive.

The Noyostl, referring this morning to tha frlenly by Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky, for merly governor general of Vllna and now Russian minister of the Interior, of newspaper representatives at Vllna, aaya: "It hns been a long time since Ruaslan JournnllHts have heard such favorable words from such a high source. The Rus sian newspapers have long been watching with admiration, not unmtxad with envy, the growth In power and prestige of tha press In foreign countries; where the news paper plays such an important part In moulding not only political, but general, opinion. "The kind words of Prince Bvlatopolk Mlrsky will not, of course, Immediately raise Russian Journalism to the high plane of its foreign contemporaries, though It gives ground for brighter hopes. Everyone, however, must remember that It Is useless to expect anything In the way of real use fulness of the present Russian press while It Is bound by the restriction of the censor ship. The only condition under which It can really rise to greatrress and be an ef fective, powerful ally of the government Is a condition of absolute freedom."
