Girlhood to
Lydia E. Pinkham's
ELLEN M. OLSON
The responsibility for a daughter's
future largely rests with the mother.
Tho rlffht influence and the infor
mation which 1 of vital interest to
the daughter imparted at the proper
time has not only saved the life but
insured the suooeas of many a beau
tiful girl.
When a prlrl'a 'thoujrhta become
lurg-lsh. with headaohe. dizziness or
a disposition to sleep, pains in bank
or lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for
solitude; when she is a mystery to
berself and friends, her mother
should come to her aid, and remem
ber that Lydia B. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound, made from native
roots and herbs, will at this time
prepare the system for the coming'
change, and start this trying period
in a young girl's life without pain
or irregularities. It has been thus
depended upon for two generations.
Hundreds of letters from young
girls and their mothers, expressing
rjatltude for what Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound has done
for them, are constantly being re
ceived. Miss Ellen M. Olson, of 417 N. East
St., Eewanee, 111. writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
"I have hait the best doctors in our town
for my sickness" and they all thought that
an operation was necessary. I had headache,
' No other remedy has such a record of actual cures of femala
ills. Thousands of women residing in every part of the United
8tates bear willing testimony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and what it has done for them.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
"For about a year, except during the past

I had the blurs so bail thst I was in despair.
It is a pleasure to tell you that Lydia K.

If you know of any young girl who
is sick and needs motherly advice,
ask her to address Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass., and tell her every detail
of her symptoms, and to keep nothing
back.' She will receive advice abso
lutely free, from a souroo that has no
rival in the experience of woman's

The sergeant has captured many swarms
of bees In that manner. He started In last
spring with three hives, from which he
got sixteen hives and 3'"0 pounds of honey,
besides K2 prise money his honey won
at the Dourlas county fair this full.
Numerous theories were advanced by the
police as to why the bees did not sting
Sergeant Cook. One man was mean enough
to suggest that he didn't look good to them,
another said they did sting him, but his
hide was too tough to feel It.

"The real reason la this," said the ser
geant "those bees had left home on ac
count of the crowded condition of their
quarters. First they sent a few scouts out
to locate other quarters. Then the scouts
returned and was taking tho whole colony
to the new home. It was the old hees that
left. The old queen cannot fly far and they
were compelled to stop occasionally, and
rest, mats wnat tney were doing there.
"Now the reason they did not sting me Is
this: Before they left their old home they
all filled up with all the honey they could
carry In order to stock up their new home
quickly. Because of being loaded down
with honey they were groggy and in no
mood to sting."

the' splendid attendance tha greeted the
first number of the series, and the excel
lence of the lecture by Dr. D. F. Fox, paB
tor of California Avenue Congregational

The theme of Pr. Fox's address was "A
Neglected Cavalier." He called the atten
tion of his audience at the outset to the
great century from 1450 to 1550,' known as
the Elizabethan era of England and of
the world In general, which produced such
Immortal characters as Copernicus, Savon
arola, Raphael, Guttenberg. Caxton, Lu
ther, Columbus, Spencer. Johnson, Shakes
peare. Cervantes, and the neglected cav
alier. Sir Walter Raleigh. After paying
merited tributes to the greater character
of religion, art and Uterture of that cen
tury, he dwelt at Interesting length upon
the achievements of Raleigh and what he
had accomplished for the world. He re
ferred to him as a mun of many great at
tainments. In all of which he shone with
brilliance. He was a punctilious gallant as
well as a statesman, soldier and sailor, and
the first colonizer of America, and the very
first of the Anglo-Saxon race who foresaw
the mightiness that was yet to come from
that then great unknown continent.

Eleven "charming" school ma'ams from
Tarkio, Mo., are taking in the sights In
Omaha this week and visiting tho public
schools. They are Susan Hoyer, May
Blckel, Hlnda Stewart, Einma Philson,
Hello Watenbargor, Anne Mathews, Mabel
Olbbs, Kdlth Glbbs, Maud Scott, Jessie
McVlcker and Ella Sweeney. They are
accompanied by Superintendent Prank
Vasey. The thirteen teachers of the
Tarkio public schools were given a week's
vacation to visit this schools of other
cities and all but two of them chose to
visit Omaha's schools. Miss Edith Glbbs
Is the moving spirit and official spokesman
for the aggregation and when a reporter
sent his card to her room she sent It back
with the notation. "O. K., parlor, 1:13,"
and at precisely that time she appeared,
and the others came also.
Miss Glbbs Is brim full nf Missouri pa

her that each word and sentence he utters
Is being mentally noted by l:ri.

"Oh, you musn't say Mlzzouri; It's Mus-ur-1,
the Italian 'I,' you know, two dots
over It. There, you've got It pretty near.
All you need Is practice."
"Is there a scarcity of teachers In Mus-ur-l,
Miss Giblis?"
"In the northern portion of the state the
supply fully equals the demand, but In
the southern part, among the mountains,
there Is a scurclty of desirable teachers.
That portion of the state has always b.-un
backward In educational nmtters, but Is
steaillly Improving. It's very cjmmon to
meet grown boys and girls there who can
neither read nor write.
"Omaha's schools have a high reputation
and my observation Impels me to say the
reputation they enjoy Is fully merited."
"I hear some pretty hard stories about
Missourluiis, and "
"Yes, I know, but you musn't believe all
you hear," Interrupted MIks Glbbs. "There
was a (Ime when some of thosi) stories
were applicable, but the typical Mlssourlan

"That country is certainly the limit

teacher applied to the director of a rural

questions the director Raked him was,

round or square, according to the wishes
of a majority of the tatrons."
The party will remain in the city all the

II ran ell Arc used of Inflicting:
Injurious nates.
Considerable agitation hus arisen over
the rates the Burlington maintains from
that part of Its system known as the
Kansas City & Omaha line, tot points off
the line, and the people living on the branch
think the purchase of that line by the
Burlington Is proving an expensive luxury.
This branch, which runs from McCool
Junction to Alma, was bought by the
Burlington about seven years ago and the
system of rates was changed to give an
advantage to all points on the Burlington
system instead of to St. Joseph and points
on the St. Joseph & Grand Island, of which
system that road was formerly a part.
A specific Instance of the hardship the
change of rates Is claimed to have made

tainable. It is made from white corn, rolled between steel rollers into
light fragile flakes and toasted to a light brown which makes it
very easily digested and gives the peculiar, appetizing flavor.
Pour out what you want and with the addition of good
cream you get a dish so deliciously tempting as to create a desire
for more. And don't 6top with one dish if you want more.
Sold by all grocers Large Family size pkg. 15c.
There's enough in a small package for a convincing "taste"
for the whole family, but you'd better take home a full size family
package for over Sunday of the most deliciously flavored flake
food known.
Be sure the food comes to the table crisp. When package is
allowed to remain open the moisture of the air makes it tough.
In such case insist that it be dried in an oven as per directions
on pkg., then it is delicious.

Mr. Fredericks, who is
63 years of ago, had a
running abscess on his
face which was caused by
a gun shot. He also con
tracted scurvy and ma
laria, for which he had
been treated for several
years without any good
results.
HU vitality wasted away and he
became a feeble old man. As
last resort Mr. Fredericks took
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey as
prescribed. It drove out ths scur
vey and malaria, bu lit up the tls
sues and enriched his blood so
that he was restored to health
and vigor, and Is now a well man.
"This Is to certify that I served four
years in the Civil War, where I re
ceived a gunshot wound in the face
which resulted in a running abscess. I
also contracted scurvy In Its worst
form. I then served 23 years on tho
police force of New Vork City, where
I contracted malaria and rheumatism.
I doctored for years until I was com
pletely run down and very feeble. I am
now 63 years of age. About six years
ago I was told to try Duffy's Pure
, Malt Whiskey which, I must say, has
and would not be without it. I wish to thank you, and I
down constitution." JOHN D. FREDERICKS.

double rate was not charged, as an ex

MeKeen Product Will He I'sed from
Tekamah ' to Decatur,
Bar Bartlet.
Judge E. M. Bartlett has gone to Te
kamah, where important meetings of the
leading citizens will be held to consider the
proposition of building a railway line from
Tekamah to Decatur, a distance of seven
teen miles.
"We had that proposition up about five
years ago," said Judge Bartlett, "and dif
ferent sections voted bonds for the road.
Investigation, however, proved It would be
entirely too expensive a proposition for an
electric line with all the power plants and
poles. Now that the McKeen motor car
has been perfected we think the problem
la. solved and another company Is being
formed to build the line. The country be
tween Tekamah and Decatur Is quite low
and was at one time valueless for farm
ing, but a system of drainage and tiling
has changed this and It Is one of the best
farming sections In the state."
