ESCAPED AN OPERATION By Taking Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound. Many Such Cases. Cairo, 111. —“ Sometime ago I got so bad with female trouble that I thought ■Ulimmnnifnn * w °uld have to be jgffigajaw operated on. I had j jPrTla. a oaf * displacement. ! 1 My right side would , • UpM pain me and I was MMMMI 80 nervous I could not bold a glass of ; |K.; V: ; ; water. Many times j® would have to stop j my work and sit • Eroapr '2M§3p down or I would fall Ep« HH? on the floor in a faint. I consulted :.3! several doctors and every one told me the same but I kept fighting to keep from having the opera tion. I had read so many times of Lydia EL Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and it helped my sister so I began taking it. I have never felt better than I have since then and I keep house and am able to do all my work. The Vegetable Com pound is certainly one grand medicine.” —Mrs. J. R. Matthews, 3311 Sycamore Street, Cairo, 111. Os course there are many serious cases Chat only a surgical operation will re lieve.

She had deposited a large parcel on the serving table of the small private dining room where the Saturday Dinner club was In the habit of taking Its weekly feast, a parcel that appeared to be too precious for Horace Brigg's clumsy paws. The remaining nine mem bers of the club were in their places, and many an anxious eye Jiad been cast in the direction of the serving table when the door opened and the tardy ones burst in, bubbling with suppressed ex 1 “D citerucnt, and also bearing a parcel, tills one in tlie husband’s sinewy and always competent hands. “Wonder If they’re bringing eats.” big Bill Smith muttered, under his breath, lie had been as sured that the Briggs parcel was not good for the digestion. “I don’t want nnybody to look while I get It ready. No fair peeping,” Ada Johnson warned, as she bent over a chair in the remote corner of the room. In an amazingly long minute she relieved the anxiety of the crowd by setting in the center of the table a mound of Easter eggs, colored in the most ingenious fashion and bearing the names of all the club members. “They’re warranted hard boiled, will not shrink, warp or rub off, and they’re to be carried home in the tall pocket of every fellow’s dress suit,” Johnson explained. “Humph, I know a better place to carry eggs than that,” was Bill’s suppressed comment. “Shall I open mine before or after dinner,” Mrs. Briggs asked, the shine having been rather rudely brushed from her surprise by the hasty appearance of the eggs. “I should say you’d have to open it before you eat it,” Jones gibed. “I didn’t mean the egg. I was tulking about that,” and she Indicated the carefully wrapped box on the serving table, just as the waiter ar rived with the anchovy paste. So It was not until the interval between soup and roast that she got around to the openings of the Easter surprise. “How perfectly beautiful! How Interesting! How unique!” cam# in chorus from the ladies, as she passed out the gifts—made of Easter cards of by-gone years, cut out and mounted to form a mat for an unusually pleasing kodak picture of the Briggs. The edge of mat and glass had been cleverly bound in soft gray green. “I hate you, Vera Briggs,” Mrs. Jones ejaculuted. “I couldn’t passe-partout a picture as neatly as this is done if I worked a week at it. And as for combining these Easter lilies and angels and oth er et ceteras —well, I suppose it’s a gift. I look at hats in the windows or on people’s heads, and I think I’ll go right straight home and get out my old velvet and ostrich feathers and make a swell hat for myself instead of blowing sls for it. And do you know, the most graceful plume in the world would get as rigid as a poker the minute I get my fingers on it? It makes me sick to see the things other women caD do." “I’d trade my skill at making pictures and trim ming hats for the ability to concoct u salad the way yon do it.” Mrs. Briggs retorted. “Every thing I know about cooking I've had to grub for. I have to have a cook book glued to the end of my nose, and all my wits about me. And I could die of envy when I see you flip things together with out even looking to see how much you're taking, and have the dish turn out simply delicious.” “There, I love you again,” May Jones bubbled. ‘Tin going to hang this Easter picture in my bed room, and every time I look at it I’ll reflect that mv one poor talent isn’t so stupid after all. And, say, Vera, any time you want to get out of cooking a meal, there’s loads of old feathers and hat shapes and velvet in the old trunk, up in the at tic.” “Say, girls, if you’ll cut it out, I’ll tell you a story,” Mrs. Jones’ husband broke In. “It's right in season too. I got the last chapter of It while I was out on the road this past week, and the first installment carne my way when I was a THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR, MT. V Ji *RGIA. young chap, just out of school. It began in Western New York, and some of you know tlie hero, I’m morally certain. I reckon it’ll be safe to tell his name right here in the buzzum of the family, but to la on the safe side, I’ll call him Stan ley. He manufactures something that’s advertised in all the big mag azines, and most of the Indies use It to help out their complexion. Any of you that have been to guessing school can finish out his name for yourselves.” “Oh, I know,” little Mrs. Smith twinkled. “I always buy his dental cream. Bill won’t let me put the massage stuff on my face. Says my skin’s good enough, and he " “You’re next, all right,” Jones assured her. “Stan used to be the liveliest fellow in our crowd. Folks said nothing less’n a cyclone or having a leg cut off would ever settle him down, lie had lots of sense, and could learn anything he set his mind to. Trouble with him was Unit tilings came too easy. He liked to strum a guitar and dance and skate and ride a wheel and make love to the girls. When I met him Inst February I couldn't believe he was the same chap. There’s nothing like smashing a man’s heart to settle him down.” “I find that the cares of a family have the same effect,” Bob White said, solemnly, whereat the other members of the dub laughed. “I like the family, hut I’ve sometimes thought it would be a good scheme to take the caves by proxy, 1 tie way you do," Briggs remarked. “Your sister’s kids and the kids of the club have made quite a serious decent man of you." “Stan didn’t have any kids, nor even any nieces and nephews, to pester him. If la- had, it wouldn’t have gone so hard with him,” Jones averred. “He was the only child, and his mother -lied when lie was about fifteen. He anil ids dad and an old maid aunt lived together, ami I reckon he hud to tear around a good deal to keep from dying of of slow stagnation in that house. He couldn't have been more’n 23 when two new girls came to town. He’d run the gamut of all the old girls, and he wasn’t the sort to fall in love witli a girl he’d grown up with. Not tint what lie could have had any of ’em for the asking. Oh, he wasn’t what you call a flirt,” as lie caught the look in Mrs. Johnson’s eyes. “Stan didn’t break any hearts. He took care to let the girls know It was all play, and I suppose he never would have got In dead earnest If It hadn’t been for the two strangers that dropped in on us the same week. One of ’em was a tall girl, with serious dark eyes and a rieh contralto voice. She'd been studying art, in New York, and her folks were all in Europe for the summer, and she didn’t want to go along, so they sent her out there to visit her uncle and do some sketching. "The other girl was u tiny hit of a thing, with yellow hair and big brown eyes and a complexion like peaches and cream. When she sang It re minded you of a Baltimore oriole. When she danced she made you think of a trick pony In a circus. She could cut more dainty little capers and do. more amusing tliliigs’n any dozen girls I’d cv6r seen. I met her the same night Stan did, and we’d both met the other girl a couple of nights before. I saw in a second that there was going to be something doing in the old town that summer. And I didn’t miss my guess, I can tell you. Half the hoys were dead crazy about the little girl, anil stie didn’t make any hones of h<-r preference for Stan. Well, I woke up to the fact, one starlight night, that the mil one was in love with him. I had a yearning for her myself, and that's how I carne to surprise the secret from tier. “Stan had paid her a lot of attention, all rigid, and it was a clear case of the little vixen rutting her out, for the fun of showing us that she could. But lie didn't get up his nerve to propose iiii al most the end of summer, and -ban she led him right up to tin• climax. She got dead serious for "nee, find lol«l him she’d never Imd uny Idea whut life meant (111 she met him. So he suggested help ing her to fight all the lmllles of life and nil that rubbish that a man talks when lie’s embarrassed and don’t know wlmf to say and the little divvil, pardon me, it’s all I can call her, laughed la Ids face. Said she didn't want to marry him, that he made an elegant summer beau, but was tfto Highly for a husband.” “She’ll act punished for It, mark my word,” Mrs. IS Haas insisted. “She did —last Tuesday. That's what I’m com ma to. She went back to New York, and so did the tall girl, and Stan went to the demnitfoa bow wows for awhile. Then he braced up and went Into the cold cream business, .lust happened to get into that line of maniifacttiring, and lie’s rolled up barrels of money. The little girl mar ried an Englishman with a title and cut a swath In London society l'or a season. Then she laid trouble, when her husband found out she really didn't have as much money as she pretended. So he divorced her, after he’d blacked one of her brown eyes and called her several kinds of pet names. After that she had various kinds of hard times, and finally about a year ago she went to see Stan. Walked right in and gave Idm to under stand that she’d reconsidered the (piestlon—and wouldn’t he please take her hack to his heart anil love and support her, don't you know? And she was so appealing about It that he almost went In to the old madness about tier. The only tiling that saved him was an Easter card, lie adver- | Used last January for sketches in color, with ! prizes amounting to a thousand dollars, for six cards lo lie sent out lo the trade, and one of the designs, submitted without nny name or anything to show wlio painted It, gave him an awful Jolt. I It was the facade of an old Itomari tomb, and the tomb was empty, and a half dead rose, vine that climbed over the marble bad burst Into foliage and flowers Just above the door, and over It there I was tbc most wonderful light. Oh, Stan didn’t, j consider putting It In the contest. He had It J framed, to hang In Ids bedroom, where he could t see i; the first thing in the morning, to Inspire j h!rn for the day. (’rider It was that text from I Corinthians, ‘Old things are passed away; behold, j all tilings are become new.’ He sent orfj the other ! prizes, and then he asked the artist who painted j that one to come and get her money.

FIFTEEN YEARS OF BLACK-DRAUGHT Black-Draught Highly Recom mended by Illinois Man for Liver and Stomach Disor ders.—Used It for Fif teen Years. Singertpn, 111.—“For fifteen years we have used Thedford’s Black* Draught, and have not as yet found anything: that could take its place,” writes Mr. W. F. Ulster, of this town. “I have used it for Indigestion a num ber of times, and it gives relief," continues Mr. Ulster. “For sour stomach, n heavy, bloated feeling, it is splendid. And when the liver gets torpid, so that when you stoop and raise up suddenly you feel dizzy, a few doses will set you straight. “We keep it and use for consti pation and the above troubles, and find It most satisfactory. I can recom mend it to others and gladly do so. For the number of years I have used Black-Draught now, I ought to know.” In its 70 years of usefulness, Thed ford’s Black-Draught has relieved thousands and thousands of persons suffering from the results of a dis ordered liver. And, like Mr. Ulster, many people feel that, after using Black-Draught nothing can take its place. If you haven't tried Black-Druught get a package today. Nearly every druggist keeps it. —Adv.
