PINKHAK :--It is with thankfulness I write that Lydia XL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been of the greatest help to ww My work keeps me standing on my feet all day and the hours are long. Some months ago-it didn't seem as though I could stand it I would get so dreadfully tired and my back ached so I wanted to scream with the pain. When I got home at night I was so worn out I had to ro right to bed, and I was terribly blue and downhearted. I was irregu­ lar and the flow was scanty, and I was pale and had no appetite. I told a. girl friend who was taking your medicine how I felt, and she said I ©ught to take it too. So I got a bottle of JLydia E. Pinkham's Vege­ table Compound and commenced to take it. It helped me right off. After the first few doses menstruation started and was fuller than for Some time. It seemed to lift a load off me. My back stopped aching and I felt brighter than I had for months. I took three bottles in all. Now 1 never have an ache or pain, and I go out after work and have a good feme. I am regular and strong and am thankful to you for the change. "I recommend Lijdia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound when- dr I hear of a girl suffering, for I know how hard it is to work when >u feel so sick."--Miss MAMIE KEITLNS, 653 9th Ave., New York City. Women should not fail to profit by the experiences of these Women; just as surely as they were cured of the troubles enu­ merated in their letters, just so certainly will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure others who suffer from womb trou­ bles, inflammation of the ovaries, kidney troubles, irregular and Infill menstruation, nervous excitability, and nervous prostra- jn; remember that it is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Coin- >und that is curing women, and don't allow any druggist to „Jul you anything ei»e in its place. x 3Um Amanda T. Petterson, Box 131, Atwater, Minn., says: "Dear MRS. PINKHAM.--I hope that you will publish this testimonial so that ifc may reach others and let them know about your • wonderful medicine. L " Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was troubled with the worst kind of fainting spells. The blood would rush to my head, was very nervous and always felt tired, had dark circles around eyes.

Cooks are railing at fickle fashion In Paris, which has practically abol­ ished one of the most important branches of their art. The "potage" has been ousted from its place on the menu. The art of soup-making is con­ sequently in abeyance. The cook's hand can no longer lor- tngly compose mysterious veloutes and quintessential creams of vegeta­ bles, nor can his imagination find vent In Imparting to them strange, exquis­ ite hues, from flesh pink to opal green, and in devising curious edible ornaments to be set floating their surface. No self-respecting Parisian hostess will now permit her cook to serve aught up for the first course of dinner except cold consomme, a sadly Bimple dish and distressingly inartistic. The humble broth is set before the guests In bowls, either of silver and of ancient make or of modern "art" pewter. The most remarkable thing about the new fashion is the way in which it originated. Parision ladles found that hot soup destroyed the Interest­ ing [tailor of their cheeks and gave them, in fact, red faces. This being obviously intolerable, and any kind of cold "potage" except consomme be­ ing, out of the question, the decree which distresses conscientious cooks who love the subtleties of their art went forth. VITALITY OF GREAT ACTRESS No Amount of Work Seems Able to Tire Sarah Bernhardt. The extraordinary vitality shown by Sarah Bernhardt, a woman far past the meridian of life, excites the sur­ prise of all who know her. Her at­ tack upon her audience in Berlin was conducted with all the ardor and au­ dacity of a young conquering woman. That she met with a chilly reception from the critics was to have been ex­ pected, for, apart from her political Views, her style of acting and the plays she presented are old-fashioned to Berlin audiences, accustomed to the novelties of Hauptmann, Suder- mann and the rest And, then, Duse, with her repressed, antitheatrlc metfo ods has given the Germans something more to their liking. It was in the ultraclassic alone that Sarah really pleased In "Phedre." As an example of her tirelessness it Is recorded that last year while at Rouen, France, on Saturday night she played. Sunday morning at 8:30 she breakfasted, and, with 'a bunch of violets in her hand, her face happy, wreathed In smiles, she left her hotel to catch the train for Paris, where she was announced for the Sunday matinee. She went dcrn to Rouen Saturday; she re­ turned Sunday. Sunday night . she played again. Throe pprfom"->noes and four hours of travel in twenty-fdUr hours seemed child's play to this ac­ tive dame. A Llghtless Lighthouse*. • " The most extraordinary of all Brit­ ish lighthouses is to be found on Arn- ish rock, Stornoway bay--a rock which is separated from the island of Lewis by a channel over BOO feet wide. On this rock a conical beacon is erect­ ed, and on its summit a lantern Is fixed, from which, night after night, shines a light which is seen by the fishermen far and wide. The way in which the lighthouse »s illuminated is this: On the island of Lewis is a lighthouse, and from a window In the tower a stream of light is projected ento a mirror in the lantern on the summit of Arnish rock. The conse­ quence is that, to all intents and pur­ poses, a lighthouse exists which has neither lantern nor lighthouse keeper. Catarrh Cannot Be Cared with LOCAL APPLICATION'S, as they oannok reach the seat of tho disease. Catarrh is m blood or constitutional disease, aud In order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure Is taken Internally, and acts airectly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians In this country for years, and Is a regular pre­ scription. It Is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the be-st blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients la what produces such wonderful results In curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials, free. P. J. CHENEY <b CO.. Props..

A material that can be carved may be made out of peeled potatoes, which are prepared for this purpose by be­ ing first blackened for thirty-six hours In eight parts of sulphuric acid to one hundred of water; It is next dried with blotting-paper, and then pressed. The French now manufacture pipes, in close imitation, it is said, of meer­ schaum, from this novel substance. A heavy pressure gives a material 6o hard that good billiard balls in imita­ tion of Ivory can be made from it. Record to Be Proud Of. The record of Alderman Gilbert Pinch, who has just been elected first magistrate of Tunbridge Wells, Eng­ land, is one of which he may Justly be proud. He began life at the age of 7 as a plowboy, nine yeans afterward he became a gardener's assistant, and then a domestic servant. Gradually working his way up, he afterward started business on his own account, and so Mr. Finch steadily forged ahead until to-day he holds his present proud position. 8tery of Tertnyson. In Charles Brookfield's recent vol­ ume of reminiscences appears this typical story of Englishmen's concep­ tion of Americans: "My father, says Brookfleld, "was dining one night at the Oxford and Cambridge club with George Venables, Frank Lush- ington, Tennyson and two or three others. After dinner the poet insist­ ed on putting his feet on the table, tilting back his chair 'more Ameri­ cano.' There were strangers In the room and he was expostulated with for his uncouthness, but In vain. 'Do put down your feet!' pleaded his host 'Why should I?' retorted Tennyson; 'I'm very comfortable as I am.' 'Every­ one's staring at yoiT,' said another. 'Let 'em stare,' replied the poet placid­ ly. 'Alfred,' said my father, 'people will think you're Longfellow/ Down went the feet." Crinoline and Pompadours. It Is hard to believe that the hooped femininity of crinoline days could have been regarded by contemporary observers as well dressed. As exhib­ ited at the Boston theater stage In Stange and Edwards' comic opera, the young women in their expansive per­ ipheries are simply comical, al­ though very prettily gowned from the point of view of other days. Few per­ sons, we suspect, would care to see crinoline come back, but there is something to be said of the doing up of women's front hair forty years ago. It. compares favorably with the pain­ fully prevalent bogus pompadour style of the present day.--Boston Tran­ script. Artless. "Uncle Jeems," as he was commonly called by the negro country folks, was arraigned at Prince George, Va., re­ cently for stealing a hog. When he was asked if he had any witnesses, the old negro artlessly answered: "Yes, suh, dey is here, but dey Is all agin me." "Can't you find any on your side?" said the judge. "Nor, suh, 'cause 'twant nobody dar but me when I done it" Cranks. One of the Instructors in the Cen­ tral high school. Philadelphia, was re­ cently explaining a piece of mechan­ ism to his class. Piecing his hands upon the handle and revolving It, he remarked: "You notice that this machine is turned by a crank." The pupils fully appreciated the re­ mark. Stuttering Time. Aprominent Frankford physician un­ dertook to cure a boy of stuttering. "Well, John, do you stutter?" "Ye-ye-yes, d-d-d-doc-doctor." "Do you always stutter, John?" "N-n-no, d-d-d-doc-doctor." "Well, when do you sttuter, John?" "bn-on-only wh-wh-when I-I-I- t-t-fr ta-tlk, doc-doc-doctor." To the housewlte Who has not yet become acquainted with the new things of everyday use In the market and who Is reasonably satisfied with the old, we would suggest that a trir.l of Defiance Cold Water Starch be made at once. Not alone because it is guaranteed by the manufacturei-s to be superior to any other brand, but because ea$h 10c package contains 16 ozs., w&i'le all the other kinds contain but 12 ozs. It Is safe to say that the lady who once uses Defiance 8tarch will use no other. Quality and quantity rzuat win. Odd Tavern Signs. It Is probable that not England, but Germany holds the record for out-of- the way tavern signs and fantastic inn names. The most absurd results are usually obtained by the name of some animal joined with a more or less un suitable object. The "Comfortable Chicken," and the "Cold Frog," both of them in Berlin, are certainly left In the shade by the "Angry Ant," (Ort, in Westphalia,) which sells splendid beer, and the "Stiff Dog" (Berlin.) Rice in South Texas. The Government report for 1902 shows that Texas holds the world's record for the production of rice. Some of the best rice lands in the State are along the line of the M. K. & T. Ry. An interesting book on Texas will be sent on request.-- James Barker, Gen'l Pass. Agent. M. K. & T. Ry., 501 Walnwrlght Bldg., St Louis. % ur Nothing Romantic.

The women who carries herself well is more apt to command respect than the woman who trudges along with her head inclined forward and her shoulders In a stooping position. The possessor of a graceful, erect carriage unconsciously impresses us as having characteristic worth. There are many noble hearted women who really do themselves injustice by the awkward way they carry themselves. It Is very hard for others to see beauty and grace of heart in an unlovely out­ ward appearance. It is the exterior of the rose that gives fitting expres­ sion to Its hidden sweetness. Although there are many beautiful women with worthless hearts, still that fact does not weaken the other fact that spiritual nobleness and a fair body are a consistent, harmonious association. Everything that apper­ tains to the elevation of the soul af­ fects for the better the aspect of the body, beautifying and refining It. Just as rare Jewels need fitting caskets to rest in, so it is only meet that lovely soyls should be inclosed in bodies that are beautiful and fair.--Pittsburg Ob­ server. A Problem Solved. Cabbel, Kans., Dec. 22nd.--This part of Kansas has solved the great question, How can Kidney Troubles bo cured, and as Rheumatism, Bright's Disease, Diabetes and other ailments resulting from Diseased Kidneys are common to all parts of the country the news is of great interest. The cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills. Hundreds of people will tell you this of their own experience. Take J. B. Cunningham for example. He had Kidney Trouble of long standing. He sought relief in vain. He had tried Doctors and Medicines of different kinds. Finally he tried Dodd's Kidney Pills and he stopped right there. No one who tries Dodd's Kidney Pills for Kidney Complaint ever needs to look any further. Here is what Mr. Cun­ ningham says: "Dodd's Kidney Pills are all right for Kidney Trouble. I have used them and know for they have done me more good than anything I ever used." Dr. Henry S.

Johnson is the son of the late Reverdy Johnson who was United States Senator from Maryland, also Attorney General under President Johnson, and United States Minister to England, and who Was regarded as the greatest constitutional lawyer that ever lived. In a recent letter from 1006 F. Street, N. W., Mr. Johnson says : "No one should longer suffer from catarrh when Pertmm is cessible. To my knowledge it has caused relief to so many of my friends and acquaintances, that it is humanity to commend its use to all persons suffering with this distressing disorder of the humaa system."--'Louis E. Johnson. Catarrh Poisons. Catarrh is capable of changing all the life-giving secretions of the body into scalding fluids, which destroy and inflame every part they come in contact with. Ap­ plications to the places affected by catarrh can do little good save to soothe or quiet disagreeable symptoms. Hence it is that gargles, sprays, atomizers and inhalants only serve as temporary relief. So long as the irritating secretions of catarrh continue to be formed so long will the membranes continue to be inflamed, no matter what treatment is used. There is but one remedy that has the desirable effect, and that remedy is Peruna. This remedy strikes at once t* the roots of catarrh by restoring to ths capillary vessels their healthy elasticity. Peruna is not a temporary palliative, bat a radical cure. Send for Dr. Hartman's latest boo* sent free for a short time.

"V* v % THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoy­ ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse sad sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, Should be such as physicians would sanction, because Its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is-- Syrup of Figs--and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturatUy without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If y>u wouM have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy ana happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle--Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and. juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal­ ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Please to remember, the full name of the Company -- CALIFORNIA FIG SYR.VP CO.- ia printed on the front of every pack­ age.
