MRS. LYON’S
ACHLAND
Have All Gone Since Taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg-
etable Compound.
Terre Hill, Pa.—“ Kindly permit me of
to give you my testimonial in favor
Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Com¬
pound. When I first
began taking it I
was suffering from
III female troubles for
; ; some time and had
I l; ; S-- almost all kinds of
aches—pain3 in low¬
er part of back and
in sides, and press¬
T ing down pains. I
could not sleep and
had no appetite. Since I have taken
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com¬
pound the aches and pains are all gone
and I feel like a new woman. I cannot
praise your medicine too highly. Mrs.
Augustus Lyon, Terre Hill, Pa.
It is true that nature and a woman’s
work Has produced the grandest remedy
for woman’s ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever com¬
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman’s ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass., are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek¬
ing health —many of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that It has saved them
from surgical operations.

Where Gutters Have Carried Away Soil and Subsoil to a Depth of Fifteen
Feet in Mississippi,
(Prepared by the United States
ment of Agriculture.)
Nearly four million acres in the
United States, it is estimated,
been devastated by soil erosion, and
vastly larger area has lost much of its
fertility. Nowhere Is soil erosion
more serious than in the South.
climate, the character of the soil, the
economic conditions, and the type
of agriculture, which has hitherto
vailed, have all contributed to the
damage, yet with the exception of the
amount of rainfall every factor In ero¬
sion can be controlled by man.
Soil erosion Is the carrying away of
the soil by the action of wind or wa¬
ter. In the South the action of water
is much the more important. If all
the water that falls upon a given area
were to be absorbed by the soil, it
would cause no erosion. This, how¬
ever, scarcely ever happens. Where
the slope of the ground or the char¬
acter of the soil is such that the wa¬
ter runs off rapidly, it carries with it
a very appreciable quantity of soil
particles, the quantity increasing as
the speed of the running water in¬
creases. Where this erosion is exces¬
sive the soil is left bare and gullied.
The land la hard to cultivate and so
much organic matter is taken from it
that it is frequently abandoned as too
poor for profitable agriculture.
To check this process, terracing,
deep plowing and the use of cover
crops are advantageous. Vegetation
not only hinders the flow of, water
over the surface, thus lessening the
amount of erosion, but the roots strik¬
ing through the soil loosen it and en¬
able It to absorb the water more read¬
ily. In the South the use of cover
crops for this purpose is particularly
important because so much of" the
rainfall in this section is in the win¬
ter when the land is frequently bare
of crops. Winter rye is particularly
advantageous in holding the soil. The
value of deep plowing lies in the fact
that this loosens the soil for a consid-
erable distance below the surface and
tllus enables the water to be absorbed
quickly. Terracing obviously fs de-
signed , to provide , , level , , areas for . the ..
water to fall on Instead of steep hill-
sides down which It can rush.
The importance of measures that
check erosion is indicated by the
fact that in some southern states vast
areas amounting sometimes to 50 per
cent of the arable land in these sec¬
tions have been abandoned because

the water has carried off much of the
best soil and impaired the value of
what has been left, On moderate
slopes in the Piedmont region of
North Carolina erosion has been esti¬
mated to cause a yearly loss in crop
values alone of three dollars an acre,
making the total loss in this region
over two million dollars each year.
On the other hand, there are many
hilly farms in which excessive ero¬
sion is effectually prevented^ Farm¬
ers who wish detailed information of
the best methods of terracing and oth¬
er means of control, should write to
the United States department of agri¬
culture for Farmers’ Bulletin No. 20,
Circular No. 94 of the Bureau of Plant
Industry or U. S. Department of Ag¬
riculture Bulletin No. 180.
When land has once been badly
eroded the task of reclaiming it Is apt
to be difficult and long. It can be
done, however, and at times may be
made very profitable. An instance of
this is a tract of 38 acres near John¬
son City, Tenn., whch was purchased
four years ago for $53 an acre. At
that time the land was badly eroded
and there was one gully eight or ten
feet deep. This the new owner filled
with debris and soil, 200 loads of ma¬
nure were applied, and the soli was
plowed to a depth of ten inches, plant¬
ed to rye and the rye turned under.

condition that practically all the water
which fell on it was absorbed. As a
result the land increased in value so
that the owner declined $100 an acre
for It. The cost of reclamation was
approximately $10 an acre. It is sim¬
pler, however, to prevent excessive
erosion than to reclaim land after it
lias occurred.
Location* for Creameries.
In developing the dairy industry
throughout the South a very important
matter is the selection of the loca¬
tions In which to erect creameries.
No one would build a sawmill where
there is little or no timber suitable
to be made into lumber, and it would
be equally unwise to start a creamery
where the supply of milk and cream
is insufficient for economical opera¬
tion of the plant. In many dairy re¬
gions creameries have been operated
successfully and have brought pros¬
perity to the community. On the oth¬
er hand, there are many closed cream¬
eries in the United States and many
farmers who have lost money by un¬
wise investments in them.
The first essential for the success
of a creamery is a sufficient supply of
milk and cream. An insufficient sup
ply means a loss for all concerned.
The number of available cows in a
community is frequently overestimat¬
ed. About six hundred southern cows
should provide raw material enough,
and if this Is sent to the creamery
in the form of whole milk the cows
should all be within five miles of the
creamery.
In order to keep expenses reasona-
bly low, an average of at least 1,200
pounds of butter must be made each
week, which will require about one
thousand pounds of butter fat. The
smaller the output the greater the cost
per pound of butter, for some of the
expenses will remain approximately
the same whether the daily output is
one hundred or two hundred pounds.
If a careful canvass reveals the fact
that, excluding those required to meet
the demands of home consumption,
the necessary cows are available, the
information should be sent to either
the state agricultural college or the
Dairy Division, Department of Agri-
culture, Washington, D. C., with a re¬
quest for plans and advice for the
organization, building and equipment
of a plant that will be likely to suc¬
ceed under existing local conditions.
Next to an insufficient supply of
milk, one of the most frequent causes
of creamery failures is the erection of
poorly planned and cheaply construct-
ed creameries equipped with expensive
but more or less useless machinery.
Many creameries have been organized
by promoters who derived their profit
from the sale of the plant and its
equipment, not from its successful op
eration after they had severed their
connection with it. In consequence,
it was to their Interest to unload as
•expensive and as poor a plant upon
the farmers as they could.
Cases are on record in which promo¬
ters have secured the signatures of
farmers to documents which purport¬
ed to be nothing more than a general
expression of opinion that a creamery
in that plate would be a good thing.
Later it developed that the document
was an iron-clad agreement to take
stock in the company. Creameries or-
ganized in such a way prove profitable
only to the organizers. Moreover the
failure of one or two such companies
serves to discourage dairying in that
region for many years thereafter.
Before it is decided to build a cream¬
ery, therefore, its prospective share¬
holders should convince themselves
of three things: (1) That there wil*
be milk and cream enough for it to be
operated economically; (2) that the
marketing facilities are adequate; and
(3) that the plant to be built is well
designed and equipped and the cost
reasonable.
NAMING THE TWINS I
-
Some Perturbation In the Butter-
wick Household.
Head of Family Made Many Sugges¬
tions, But Did Not Seem to Take
the Subject Seriously Enough
to Please His Wife.
A friend of Butterwick's, who stayed
at bis house a short time after the
twins were born, overheard the follow¬
ing conversation between the fond par¬
ents one night after all hands had re¬
tired. He was in the adjoining room:
Mrs. B.—What shall we call the
twins, Henry, dear?
B.—O, I dunno. Almost any good
names, How would Moses aud Aaron
do, or Cain and Abel?
Mrs. B.—You ought to be ashamed
of yourself to want to name one of
your own children after a murderer!
You might have hunted the whole
Bible through without finding anything
worse!
B.—O, well, call them Shadrach, Me-
shaeh and Abednego, then.
Mrs. B.—You know very well that
there are only two twins, and that
they can’t have three names divided
equally between them. I hate Scrip¬
ture names, anyhow. I want to call
them after some distinguished man.
B.—Well, name one of them John D.
Rockefeller and the other Schwab.
Mrs. B.—I’d rather die on the spot
than have a child of mine named a
swab.
B.—How’ll Klodderdatch or Gutcha-
koff suit you?
Mrs. B.—Butterwick, you know I
can’t abide those German names. You
would inflict a curse on your innocent
boy if you would send him through the
world with such a name as Klodder¬
datch Butterwick. You know very well
that you would. I prefer an American
name. One that belongs to this cou/i-
try.
B.—Very well, then call one of them
Spotted Tail and the other Hole in the
Day. Those are indigenous to this
continent.
Mrs. B.—Mr. Butterwick, if you are
going to turn the subject into ridicule
I will get up and dress myself and go
downstairs. You shan’t insult me to
my face, anyhow. You know well
enough that I meant some white Amer¬
ican name.
B.—How would Smith and Jones
answer?
Mrs. B.—I’d rather bury both of
then* in one grave. Why don’t you
suggest some distinguished American
name?
B.—Oh, ail right. There’s Benedict
Arnold and Martin Van Buren.
Mrs. B.—They shall never have
those names with my consent,
B.—How about Adams?
Mrs. B.—That's only one name and
there are two babies.
B.—Well, call one “A” and the
other “Dams.”
Mrs. B.—Mr. Butterwick, if you use
language like that again I’ll go home
to mother’s this very might,
B.—Well, then, if you must have the
names of celebrated Americans, cal!
one “Tilly” Slowboy” and the other
“Toodles.”
Mrs. B—Were they prominent men?

{I don't remember hearing about them
before.
B.—Why, my dear, they both signed
the Declaration of Independence, and
Slowboy was vice-president under
Washington. If you want straight-out
revolutionary patriots, those are your
men.
Mrs. B.—What did Mr. Toodles do?
B.—Louisa, I am surprised at your
ignorance! Don’t you know that he
commanded the army at Valley Forge?
Mrs. B.—I don’t think much of their
names, anyhow. Say over some others.
B.—Lemme see. Well, now, there’s
Mephistopheles, and—
Mrs. B.—What did you say he did?
B.—Did? Why, he commanded the
frigate Constitution in the war of 1812,
and he was killed while nailing the
American flag to the mast.
Mrs. B.—And you want to name one
of your children after him?
B.—Certainly; why not? Noble old
patriot! Did he not die in defense
of— Why, Louisa, what are you going
to do?
Mrs. B.—Why, I’m going to quit this
house and take the twins with me, and
stay away forever. I know just as
well as you do that Mephistopheles is
another name for the devil. I’ve seen
him at the opera. It is perfectly in¬
famous for you to suggest such a
name for your own flesh and blood. I
don’t believe in your Slowboys or
Toodles, either. I’m certain that you
have been telling scandalous stories,
and now I’m going to leave.
Then Butterwick wa3 heard to use
a persuasive tone with Mrs. B., and
finally she made it up with him. The
twins eventually were baptized John
and Henry.—New'York Weekly.
DRIVER WAS BUSINESS MAN
Saw More Profit in Hauling Stranded
Automobilist Than in Selling Him
Gasoline.
Mack Sennett was going to the San
Diego fair in his car. About three
o’clock in the morning, and twenty
miles from nowhere. Mack found that
his supply of gasoline had given out.
There was nothing to do but sit by
the side of the road and wait for some¬
thing to come along, which Mack pro¬
ceeded to do. He had waited but a
few minutes when he heard the sound
of wheels on the road and soon a
wagon wa3 distinguishable in the dark.
“There’s a ten spot in it if you haul
me to town,” hailed Mack.
The driver readily consented and
Mack settled down for a three-hour
ride. They were drawing into a little
burg when Mack remarked that it
was rather early for the driver to be
on the road.
“Yes,” he replied, “but I have to
start early to get around to all my
customers.”
And as Mack handed him the ten
spot for his work, the man continued:

ifcores in the small towns around
here.”—Photoplay Magazine.

ALL SEEK FOR HAPPINESS
The One Thing for Which Mankind
May Be Said to Have a Univer¬
sal Desire.
We cannot pick and choose the
happenings of life any more than we
can select the circumstances of our
birth and death; we are but creatures
of a wonderful destiny directed by
the Almighty. It is said that many
tragedies of life might be averted if
we “took our medicine like men” and
did not put our personal happiness
above everything else. It is as nat¬
ural and to be expected to long for
happiness and cling to it as for the
flowers to turn to the sun. Happiness
is the great lamp of life which lights
our way through all sorts of shad¬
ows—shadows that blur the vision
and make long nights of our days,
shadows that terrify by their gro¬
tesque shapes and threatening as¬
pects, and shadows that bury in their
depths much that we hold moat dear.
We are jealous of our happiness and
guard it as the most precious thing
in life and when we watch It go down
the long aisles of memory farther
and father away from our yearning
eyes we begin to plead for if, and
strive for it, and fight for it. We
batter the walks of the past in our
vain efforts to call it back before it
is too late, and spend long days and
enHeavor waste precious strength In the futile
to clutch It back to our
hearts. And all the while, perhaps
right at our hands within easy reach,
happiness in a new guise stands ready.

We and the British Have Sweet Tooth.
Britons have the sweetest tooth, and
Americans come next, if the statis¬
tics for consumption of sugar mean
anything. An Englishman eats annu¬
ally 92.4 pounds, an American con¬
sumes 79.2 pounds. In Denmark the
average consumption is 72.6 pounds
per capita; in Switzerland it is 55
pounds; in Germany, Holland, Swed¬
en and Norway it is from 39 to 44
pounds; in France, 35 pounds; in
Belgium, 33; in Austria, 24.2; in Rus¬
sia, 19.8; in Portugal, 15.4; In Spain
and Turkey, 11; in Italy, Bulgaria,
Roumania and Serbia, from 6 to 7
pounds.
The principal reason for these varia¬
tions is found in the relative highness
or lowness of the customs duties on
sugar and on the things with which It
is commonly associated—coffee, tea.
