AFTER
SUFFERING
ONEYEAR
Cured by Lydia E. Pink=
ham’sVegetable Compound
Milwaukee, Wis. — “Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound has made
~ me a well woman,
and I would like to
tell the whole world
of it. I suffered
fromfemaletrouble
and fearful painsin
my back. I had the
best doctors and
they all decided
that I had a tumor
in addition to my
female trouble, and
advised an opera-
tion. Lydia E.
l’inkham’s Vegetable Compound made
me a well woman and I have no more
backache. I hope I can help others by
telling them what Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound has done for
me.” — Mrs. Em.ma.1mse, 833 First St.,
Milwaukee, Wis.
The above is only one of the thou
sands of grateful letters which are
constantly being received by the
Pinkham Medicine Company of Lynn,
Mass.,which prove beyond a doubtthat
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound, made from roots and herbs,
actually does cure these obstinate dis
eases of women after all other means
have failed, and that every such suf-
ering woman owes it to herself to at
least give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta
ble Compound a trial before submit-
ting to an operation, or giving up
hope of recovery.
Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass.,
invites all sick women to write
her for advice. She has guided
thousands to health and her
advice is free.
FUDGING AT ETON.
Ths Birch and Block Still Used In the
Famous English School.
Flogging, or swishing, to give it
Its proper name, like everything
else at Eton, is still canduoted on
the same lines as fifty year* ago.
The birchand block h&ya never
been suppSWRH>y any newfangled
methods.
Moreover, B is usujfl to present
the recipient of a swishing with a
•mall portion of the birch, partly
as a pleasing memento of the occa
sion and partly to ward off any fur
ther desire for wrongdoing.
▲ aWishing may be the outcome
®f several things. Perhaps the
commonest reason for punishment
is that a boy has been complained
of to the head by his form master,
the phrase ‘‘complained of" mean
ing that the master is dissatisfied
either with the boy’s work or gen
eral behavior.
Other backslidings are smoking
and cutting chapel, the former be
ing a particularly heinous crime.
Boys below the fifth form are at
tended to by the lower master, eu
phemistically known as “the flea,"
who has more or less complete au
thority over the lower school. The
*uppers,” or seniors, are looked
after by (he head master in 'person.
In either case the proceedings do
hot differ materially.
On the day of the execution a
prepositor comes around to the
victim’s class room and asks if So-
and-so is in this division. On the
master in charge answering “Yes,"
the prepositor calls out, “Head mas
ter wishes to see him after 12.”
There is an ominous pause as
these dread words are uttered. The
master in charge smiles grimly; the
victim looks sheepish and turns
white; the other boys exchange sig
nificant glances.
Twelve o’clock booms out all too
soon. As the class clatters out
down the stairs the victim’s friends
cluster around him and overwhelm
him with hin'.s and titbits of infor
mation. Does lie know the head’?
always in a worse “bait” on Mon
days? Did he see that new iot
of birches that went up only the
other day? and so on. It is a hor
rid, heartless wor’d.
French Stories.
The peculiar simplicity of the
French peasant is illustrated by two
incidents. A peasant went to his
f iostoffice and offered for the mail a
etter which was over the weight
specified for a single stamp.
“This is too heavy,” said the post
master. “You will have to put an
other stamp on it.”
' “Wh-wh-why,” said the peasant,
with wide open eyes, “w-w-will an
other stamp make it lighter?”
Another peasant, presiding over
the municipal council of liis village,
gave the assembly a lecture on th*
lack of necessity for any more road
building.
“As for the roads which are now
bad,” he said, “it is of no use to re
pair tham, for nobody travels over
them, arid as for those which are
good, why do anything to them un
til they get bad ?”
The Man Who Gets The Profits.
The most important torce for
the welfare ol the nation will
come when the land owners ot
America are organized. Such
an organization is important not
only lor the benefits which will
come to the farmers, but on ac
count of money which will be
saved by the cousumers. It is
not prices received by farmers
which make living expenses
high, but the profits ot the deai>
ers handling the foods between
the farmer and the consumer.
The Florida larmer receives
2.25 (or a bushel of green beans,
the railroad gets 50 cents for
the 800-mile haul to New York,
and the consumer pays 6.40 lor
this same bushel ol beans. There
is 35 per cent, for the grower,
8 per cent, for the carrier, and
57 per cent- for the dealer. This
is not a fair division-
The rice farmer ofj Texas,
Louisiana and Arkansas get a
21-2 cents a pound for the grain
and the consumer in New York
pays 10 cents a pound for this
rice. The freight is one-half
cent a pound. It the rice farmer
were paid 31-2 cents (one cent
more than he is now getting,)
and the dealer took one cent
profit (which is 25 per cent.) the
New York consumer would get
20 pounds of rice for a dollar,
instead of 10 pounds, as now.
The cotton groweis are not
organized, and they are losing
money thereby. The railroad
takes 4.50 lor hauling a bale of
cotton trom gin to spinner, but
that speculator must have 5.50
per bale. The time will come
when States will construct ware
houses to aid farmers in market)
ing their cotton.
One of the things advocated
by the Farmes Union is a great*
ei proportion of Federal appro*
priations for agriculture. In
a recent speech in the lower
house of the Congress, Chair
man Tawney, ol the Committee
on Appropriations, said that 71
per cent, of the revenues of the
Government went (or military
expenses, which amounted to
$430,000,000 lor that period.
T his is 33 times as much as ap*>
propriated lor agricultural pur
poses
If the Government would
spend one and one half million
dollars a year for twelve years
for drainage surveys and in open
ing waterways to the gull, it
will make available 25,000,000
acres ot Mississippi valley land
for cultivation, and this would
be at a cost of 75 cents an acre.
This would provide 80-acre
(arms for 312,500 families, or a
million and half people.
During the last five years
400,000 Americans, principally
tarmers, have left the United
States lor Canada, and they
took with them $1,000 each.
Canadian officials, all ol whom
are taking a personal interest
in securing the best class of
farmers for their country, esti
mate that this year they will
get 130,000 American farmers,
and that they will bring with
them $130,000,000.
Nearly all we hear Lorn
Washington is about military
exploitations and unimportant
political controversies. There
is no word ol encouragement
for the developement ot the
country’s resources. It we had
men iu public life who would
take the same interest in work
ing out these questions on a
practical, common sense basis
leaving oft their tirades against
the railroads, their services
would be of greater advantage
to the farmers and consumers.
The kind ol politics which has
been preached to the larmers
trom advancing their interests
and keeping pace with those
who are organized. To arrive
at the high business standard to
which the tarmers are destined,
their business like others, must
be conducted in the most ec’
onomical manner.
In proposing closer relations
between the farmer and the raiT-
rcad, I know that some politi
cians will criticise my motives.
The larmers and the railroads
have something to co-operate
with and something to co operate
for. The products and supplies
ot the (arm constitute 40 per
cent, ot the freight of the West
ern railroads. It is to our inten
est to work with you in betteri

Give Goldfish Shade.
A friend was showing ine her col
lection of goldfish the other day
with great pride. The tiny fish
were darting about here and there
in the clear water, and, then resting
for awhile, they found life very
pleasant.
Some people do not seem to re
alize that it is positive cruelty to
keep these fish in an open vessel
without any shade.
Fish have no lids to shield their
eves, as we have, and: so cannot en
sure a bright light. They suffer
greatly if entirely exposed, as is
evident from the way in which they
dash around and around, sometimes
until they are fairly worn out.
Shade can easily be provided by
placing growing plants, dense
enough to shelter the fish, near the
globe in which they are kept or by
placing a grotto of rocks in the
aquarium itself —Philadelphia In
