W. WOOD & SONS, Seedsmen, . Richmond, - - Virginia. AND SUCCESSFUL FARMING Dy Andrew M. Soule |tW Selecting Seed Corn for 1921. Georgia has a small army of boys who are members of the corn clubs. These boys have demonstrated that they can raise larger yields of corn than those ordinarily grown. Much of the corn they raise is also of a I superior type. This has been shown by the exhibits made at our various fairs. In spite of all the progress which has been made in the direction lof corn improvement through seed selection, much still remains to be I done. Hence, it seems both advisa ble and desirable that a brief sum mary of some of the more important j points relating to this matter should be placed before our readers at this time. To that end, the general ad vice and directions which the Geor gia State College of Agriculture has I found desirable to follow in refer ' ence to this matter are presented I for the information of all who are concerned in the cultivation and han dling of the corn crop. Just as successful breeding and ! Improvement of live stock depend ' more upon the selection of the in- I dividual animal than upon the breed itself, so the successful breeding and growing of corn depends more upon the selection of the individual 1 ear and stalk from which the ear is grown than the variety of corn. It is true that the variety, like the breed, goes a long way, but just as the breed can be taken and bred up to a high degree of efficiency, even so any variety of corn can be taken and likewise bred up to a high point as a yielder, and it is urged that corn club boys use the same care and caution in selecting the seed I corn as they do in selecting their I pigs and calves. The proper time to select corn Is 1 in the fall before it is harvested, but after it is thoroughly matured. De sirable stalks, however, may be not led any time during the year and so marked as to know where to find ‘ them when the time comes to select • the seed. It is very desirable to know the stalk that produces the ear just as you -want to know the father or mother of a calf or pig you buy. Field selection gives one an opportunity to thus study the indi vidual stalk. The size of the ear will depend upon the variety of corn grown, but if some of the larger varieties are grown the ears should be around ten I inches in length, nearly cylindri cal in shape; that Is, not too raperx ! ing, having straight rows of sound, bright, well-matured kernels of uni i form shape, size and color. The tip iof the ear should be well covered I with shuck and should hand point 1 downward in order to shed the wa ter. The size of the cob is an im ' portant feature to consider, and its diameter should be about half that of the entire ear or the length of two kernels placed end to end. This will give a depth to the kernels, a still more important feature to con sider. The ears of prolific varieties are considerably smaller than those of the large varieties. The ears vary from six to ten inches in length. A desirable stalk is one of medium height, somewhat broad, at the base, i but tapering gradually to the top I and having plenty of broad blades, i It should be entirely free of smut op other diseases, and should n.ot be located as to have advantage over I other etalks for growing or de ! velopirig. It should also be free of suckers and should bear its ears about four feet from the ground, as ears at that height are in easy reach for gathering and are not in clined to pull the stalk down during windstorms. After the corn is selected, it should be shucked and stored in a dry, well-ventilated place, free from rats and mice. A very simple way is to bind the ears together with binder twine and hang in the attic. About 12 or 15 ears are sufficient for an acre, but many times this amount should be selected for future use op sale. Let field selection of seed corn become a habit. In. order that every acre may do its duty in producing a maximum crop, it is suggested to corn club boys that they grow some crop along with their corn, such as beans, velvet beans, cowpeas or peanuts. They do not materially reduce the field and the presence of such crops in the corn will count fifteen points in determining -he winner wnen the j actual yields of corn are the same. ; The velvet bean is the most im portant legume of the state and is well adapted to practical!}' the whole farming area. Soy beans can be planted as a substitute for cowpeas in corn. They will stand more mois ture than cowpeas, hence they are well adapted to bottom lands. In north Georgia soy beans are prefer red because they are better adapted to the climate. They, too, should be planted fairly early as they will not stand too much shading. Cowpeas can be grown in corn as a foodstuff or soil-building crop. For the latter they will be preferred to velvet beans by some and on the poorer types of soil or in very thick ly planted corn the choice of this crop will be wise. Cowpeas are a very staple human food. Large quantities are shipped into the state annually from California for edible purposes. The same varieties can be profitably grown with corn in Geor gia. Cowpeas are also valuable as a food for livestock. Hogs and cat tle thrive on green plants or on the seed. In the northern part of the state cornfields would furnish much more grazing if th by were seeded to cowpeas. • North Georgia with a few excep tions will produce almost any vari ety of cowpeas. There are several, however, best adapted to conditions of this region. Among these the Whippoorwill and Brabham seem to adapt themselves to a wide range of conditions and to produce a fair yield of seed every year. Other varieties, ag the Unknown, produce phenomenal yields under ideal con ditions, but fail when adverse sea sons occur. Where the soil is infest ed with wilt or nematodes only the Iron or Brabham varieties should be used. For the production of seed, cow peas should be seeded before the corn shades the ground too much. Quite often the corn and cowpeas are planted at the same time, bur the majority of farmers prefer to wait several weeks before planting the latter. With narrow rows, it is I better to have the cowpeas in the drill with the corn, but with wide rows they can be planted in the mid dles. For improving the soil it is well to broadcast one bushel of seed per acre at the last cultivation. This can be done even if a crop is being grown in the drill with the corn. Peanuts will be one of the main crops with corn in the sandier regions of the state. They can be used as a grazing' crop for hogs or as a money crop. When gathered for the market their tops will furnish a fair yield of hay. In north Georgia they can be grown to a large extent put as a rule cannot be grazed by hogs. Two varieties seem best adapted to our conditions. For grazing, the North Carolina or running should be the principal variety, as its nuts will not germinate during the fall or winter if left in the soil. The Spanish variety should be grown largely for selling to the oil mills and for early grazing. It yields well on the thin, sandy soils of south Georgia as well as on the clays of north Georgia. The North Carolina does best on the better classes of sandy soils. Both of these varie ties have been grown in the state for a number of years. Peanuts are usually planted in a row in the corn middles and quite often velvet beans are planted with them. Some prefer peanuts in the middles and velvet beans in the drills with the corn, while a few want only the peanuts in both places. The Spanish variety can be successfully planted either shelled or in the pod by machinery, but the North Caroli na gives better results If shelled. Several kinds of cotton planter, such as the Cole and Ledbetter, have pea nut attachments and will plant the shelled nuts successfully. Spanish peanuts should be planted from six to eight inches in the drill and the North Carolina from twelve to fif teen. The latter should be planted in April or early in May, while the former can be planted as late as July 1. However, planting during the last of May and the first part of June are most successful. If the land is poor an application of from one to two hundred pounds of acid phosphate will increase the yields materially. Lime is also very bene ficial and increases the yield. Data About Fertilizers and Crops S. B. J., New York, writes: I would like information as to the fertilizers used in Georgia. What ingredients have proved the most beneficial to the soil and the crops, and .what proportion of each element is contained in the product as marketed? Complete fertilizers are extensive ly used in this section of the south. By this we mean formulas contain ing available nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. The amount used depends on the nature and character of the soil and the kind of crop to be grown. Corn, for instance, re quires more liberal fertilization than cotton. Leguminous crops do not call for the use of nitrogen, as they can gather a good part of what they may need of this element from the air. Lime is used to sweeten soils and is especially beneficial when ap plied to the leguminous crops. We grow, as you doubtless know, exten eive areas of velvet beans, cow peas, soy beans and peanuts. Cot ton is our principal crop, and corn is the next largest crop. The soils in this state vary ma terially from those of the sandy, coastal plain region to the heavy clays of the Piedmont plateau and the Appalachian mountains. The for mulas used contain from 2 to 5 per cent of nitrogen, 7 to 12 per cent phosphoric acid, and 2 to 5 per cent of potash. The amount of plant food removed from the soil by crops de pends very largely on the manner in which farming operations are con ducted. If the, corn stalks be cut and shocked, the grain husked, and fed to live stock, and the stalks cut up in the silo or fed in the form of dry roughage and the resulting ma- GUNSisSfef SEND Z-CATALOG RIFLES, REVOLVERS, FISHING TACKLE AND SPORTING GOODS INCORPORATEb Y 313 Market.

On the other hand, the crop may be so handled that a great part of the food removed from the soil is lost. Naturally there are good and poor farmers in this state as elsewhere. Where cotton is grown and a good yield obtained a considerable amount of stalk and leaf Is naturally pro duced. If these stalks are plowed under and not burned cotton is not an exhausting crop to the soil. The amount of plant food removed from the soil by various crops is set forth in the following table. The yields indicated are just average, and below the standards which farm ers should attempt to obtain in most instances. Leading Varieties of Pecans G. D.„ Zeigler, Ga., writes; I would like to know the best and largest varieties of pecans suit able for this section of the state, as I am interested in planting some of these trees. The varieties of pecans which are generally regarded as best suited for growth ’in the middle part of Georgia are Stuart, Moneymaker, Carmen, Pabst, and Van Deman. The Frotscher, Teche, Havens, Cur tis, Rome and Delmas may be rated as of secondary importance. The Stuart is medium to large in size with a shell of average thick ness. It is moderately productive and has a wide adaptability. The Moneymaker is medium in size with a fairly plump kernel of good flavor. It is very prolific and especially promising for the south ern section of the state. The Pabst is medium in size and of good quality. The Van Deman is large to very large, has a shell of medium thick ness with plump kernel, and pos sesses good quality and flavor. It has been a very popular variety but recently has shown a tendency to scab, which has militated somewhat against its popularity. The Havens is medium to large in size. The Curtiss is small. The Rome is large to very large, but has an irregular bearing habit and therefore is not recommended for general use. The Delmas is large to very large, with shell of medium thickness. It is a widely disseminated tree Sxid a heavy bearer, but it is subject to scab. Disposing of Cotton Seed. Advant ageously T. B. F., Stone Mountain, Ga., writes: I want to know the best disposal of my cotton seed. Just as it is, unground, is it a good feed for my dairy cow? What is its value as a fertiliz er? I am wondering whether I had better bring it back from the gin, or sell it there and buy cotton seed meal. I will very much appreciate your advice in the matter. Cotton seed do not make an es pecially satisfactory grain feed for dairy cows. We would much prefer to use the meal, and this is based on a long experience and observation in the use not only of cotton seed, but the meal as well with dairy cat tleA While cotton seed or cottonseed meal may be fed for considerable periods of time to dairy cows with a good deal of satisfaction, our ex perience, extending over about 25 years, indicates that it is more economical and better practice to use cottonseed meal along with a certain amount of wheat bran, corn meal or velvet bean meal, rather than to feed the cottonseed meal alone. This is due primarily, in our judgment, to the concentrated nature of cottonseed meal and the high per centage of protein it contains. In other words, if you use a sufficient amount of it to meet the needs of the animals in certain particulars you are providing more protein or nitrogen than is necessary. This practice is not only wasteful but tends at times to derange the digest ive system, and may affect the nervous system as well. Do not gather from the above that there is danger in feeding cotton seed meal to cattle, as there is not when it is used in proper amounts and if satisfactorily combined with other companion foods. Where one depends on cottonseed meal alone we have found it better to use it in Association with silage or any other succulent food. Roughly speaking, cotton seed only contain about half as much fer tilizing value as cottonseed meal. I am speaking, of course, of a grade of meal containing at least 7 per cent of nitrogen. Our understanding is that cotton seed meal of a good grade can be bought around S7O a ton and that seed will bring SBS and upward. Un der the circumstances we feel dis posed to thin kit would be better to purchase the meal rather than to haul the seed back from the gin. This has been our practice here on the colelge farm where we have suc ceeded in producing profitable crops. Tuscaloosa Merchant Is Killed By Another ASHEVILLE, N. C., Sept. 4—F W. Monnish, a prominent merchant of Tuscaloosa, Ala., was fatally wounded at Ridgecrest, near here, this morning by J. Thomas Harris, a Ridgecrest merchant. Monish was placed in an automobile and started for Asheville but died before aid was reached. The Country Home BY MRS. W. H. FELTON What’s the Matter With Cotton? All signs point to a controlling force somewhere, and somehow, to drag down the price of the south’s great staple until it is forced out of the possession of those who produce it, and then the cotton gamblers will have a magnificent opportunity to make ten times the profit of their cotton farmers, when they never worked a day or an hour to grow a single stalk of this cotton. Liverpool has controlled the price of the south’s cotton ever since 1 can remember, and in my opinion there are forces in Wall street to day behind the ‘’bears,” that have hammered off nearly a hundred dol lars from every bale of cottoon that will be sold when the market opens, in this present month of September. It is a preposterous situation. It is beyond all reason, as a cruel conspiracy to mulct the cotton farmer and put it in the pockets of these cotton gamblers—it is shame -less and tyrannical. This co-tton crop has been the most expensive ever known in the south s history. Three dollars a day and a short day at that has been the rul ing- price for cotton choppers in section of the country. . . The expense of feeding plow stock has been away and beyond what a ® ever known in Georgia. Every blessed thing that was bought to cultivate the crop with has been paid for or will be paid for, out of that cotton, when the producer gets it to the market place. The world abroad is clamoring for cotton to manufac ture The spinners and weavers, get big values. Everything that touches the growing turing of cotton runs high in ex pense and yet, the price of good cot ton nas been run down, cents a pound in the bale to 36, with in the month of August. Oh my dear farmer friends, you that can hold it, do be wise enough to hold it until this depression is exnosed in its cruelty. A Bed Cold in the Summer Time In my early life I had very rnany snells of what we called oaa colds"’ The same sort of colds now are called la grippe or the flu or some new-fangled name that our forefathers knew nothing about. The doctors have new names for the most of the ailments that were prescribed for us a half .century ago I never heard of what is called the appendix until my brown hair had become nearly white. When little ones had “sour stomach, ’ we under stood what it meant. Nowaaajs they call it aciditis, and so on, and so on, to the end of the chapter. But I must not forget the text I started to preach from, at the head of this article— -namely, bad colds in summer time. It is worrisome enough to have a bad cold in tne winter time, when we have cold weather, and the snow falls and damp creeps into your shoes—and the nights are long—and the fires slow down —or you must go a long trip and get so chilled that your teeth chatter and your fingers are nU You are not surprised when you take a sneezing spell. Then you start up a cough and your and the fever comes along—and maybe keeps you in your room some days. Perhaps, you feel too ailing to sit up and the bed feels good enough because you must He down, etc. etc. But when you catch a summer cold, you have got something that puts new ideas in your brain——and another sort of aches in your limbs —and the weather is too hot, to make the bed feel like a place or rest —and you chill awhile and then you sweat awhile —and you blow your nose, and you cough until your face gets so red, that it shades into purple. _ , x You don’t want to eat and what you do eat, does not give you a relishing appetite, and you can’t go anywhere without a spell of cough ing comes along, and makes people wonder why you didn’t take the whooping cough in the days of your youth: Along in the early 90’s, when I was one of the board of lady man agers for the Columbian exposition, held in the city of Chicago, and my duties called me to the exposition grounds every day in the week but Sunday, I caught one of the worst summer colds. I can now remember, in the middle of the day you had torrid heat, and maybe you would be shivering with cold before sun down. The winds from Lake Mich igan are the most changeable sort of winds known to the United States. The fashionables that dressed for a spin behind a fast pair of horses, always carried along a fur cape in July weather. If you felt obliged to wear a thin waist, you were al most sure to wish you had a cloak before you reached your sleeping place. Somehow and in some way I caught the bad summer cold. Once I had to get excused, I was too ailing to leave my room. We took our meals at a case, and I had to live on sweet milk and crackers for several days, be cause I could not go to the eating places. Finally I made arrangements to go to a hospital, if I grew no better, and then I knew the home folks would be dreadfully anxious. I was, however, relieved after a week or more of such coughing, spit ting and nose-blowing, such as I had rarely experienced in my life before. If I had such a spell now, I'd call it the “flu,” and so would the doctors if they had had any ex perience with the name at that early date—nearly thirty years ago. Just after the war we had what was called the epizootic. It was a stunner, believe me, when it caught you. The horses and mules caught it. It killed a large number of peo ple and live stock. Some folks never did get over it. It settled in the ears and throat and caused deaf ness and inflamed- tonsils. It was really a bad case of summer cold. Revolutionary Activity Is Started by Diaz MEXICO CITY, Sept. 4—Revolu tionary activity by followers of Felix Diaz, nephew of former President Porfirio Diaz, has been begun in the vicinity of Misantla, State of Vera Cruz, according to press dispatches from Jalapa. Reports state Diaz refuses to rec ognize the “Agua Prieta plan,” re pudiates the present government and declares he wil.' fight to restore the constitution of 1857. Travelers arriving from Tezlutlan, state of Puebla, and Jalacingo,* state of Vera Cruz, tell of renewed rebel operations near those towns. Cured Peanuts Prove Profitable Hog Food ALBANY, Ga., Sept. 4. —Feeding hogs on cured peanuts instead of green ones is an experiment which has been successfully made by Dr. W. R. Terry, of Shellman, according to a statement made here. He says that other growers would find this practice profitable. He says the cured peanuts produce more meat than the green peanuts, and besides he was able to save the peavine hay by this method, which more than paid the expense of gathering the peanuts. Many farmers have announced their purpose of feeding their peanuts to hogs this year on account of the low price for the crop, and Dr. Terry be lieves this practice will prove of im portance if widely adopted. ,© £;|OB1 1A Bl H J > 1 1 W- Here is the newest creation ia fine China makiot “" a beautiful 42-piece set made of exquisite ware. fSBi Each piece is full size, decorated with the popular A jA-Jft* r)Old Rose floral design, and edged withhold.

I I am fourteen years of age. Am I bld enough to have boy friends? 1 want to have lots of friends and would like to know how to gain their love. I don’t care very much for the boys only as friends. So give me your best advice real soon. LONELY BROWN EYES NO. 1. You are old enough to have a few boy friends. I do not mean that you should, sit up at night entertaining them, or that your whole idea should be “boys,” but occasionally a boy to drop in at your home to see you, will not be harmful. Now, i s the time to “watch your step.” What you •do now will reflect upon your name and character in later years. So conduct yourself in a lady-like manner. Let the boys see the true womanly qual ities within you, that should be every girl’s heritage. Be thoughtful of your friends, let them see they can trust you by never tattling on them or carry ing tales to another. Look on the bright side of life, and be cheerful, that one gift alone will win you friends. “Guard thy ton gue,’’ and you will be happy and attractive. Here comes a lonely girl for ad vice. I am fourteen years old. What should I say to a young man when he calls to see me? Is it any harm for a girl my age to have boy friends? I have brown eyes, black hair, medium complexion, weigh 116 pounds. I am a motherless girl. Please give me your best advice in The Journal. LONELY BROWN EYES NO. 2. There are many things to talk about. First, find out what the young man is interested in. Try to talk of them in an interest ing way. Most men like to talk about themselves if they find an interesting listener. Take up reading, good books will improve your mind, then you will be able to talk well.. Your mind will absorb a great deal which will be of benefit to you by reading good books. Begin now, and as you grow older your taste for literature will increase. It will be educational as well as inter esting to you. I am coming to you for axivice again, this is my third time. And I want an answer If you will please take pleasure in giving me some ad vice. I haven’t a mother to advise me. I need advice badly. I am 15 years old, brown eyes, am 4 feet 6 inches in height and weigh 100 pounds. Do you think I weigh enough for my height? I am- in love with a widower who married five months ago. I know he is a nice boy. The reason they parted the girl was too young. He came to see me last Sunday for the first time since he married and he said he loved me better than any girl he ever saw. This boy is just 17 years old. Would you let him com? to see me or not? Please ad vise me what to do as I am in deep trouble. I will close, hoping to see this in print soon. Now please print this by the 17th of July. CHERRY APPLE. Cherry Apple: I think you would be doing wrong to marry the widower. He is too young to have the re sponsibility of a wife. And you are entirely too young to think of such a serious problem as marriage. Besides he doesn’t know his own mind. Try to be come interested in other things. You will be happier in the end. You should weigh at least fifteen pounds more. Drink water and plenty of milk to increase your weight. Here I come to you for advice, I am an old maid. I am 26 years old and am corresponding with a boy about the same age. But I do not care anything about the boy. He has been loving me for ten years, but I do not like him at all. Now I want to know what to do. Must I marry a man I do not love. Thanking you for any advice you can give me and hoping to see this in the next Jour nal. I am E. L. T. E. L. T.: You are old enough to know your own mind, without any ad vice from me. There isn’t any one who can make you marry a man you care nothing for. Best thing you can do—let him go—lt would be doing the man a great injustice to wed him feeling to ward him as you say you do. I am coming to you for advice and hope to see this printed. I am a girl of nineteen years and I work in a doctors office. He is a single man, but I don’t care to have much to do with him. It is was raining some day and he offered to carry me home and I did not want him to, what must I tell him? If he offers me money to get a drink when I start to the druggist’s must I take it and what should I say? If a boy asks me if he can come to see me and I do not care, what must I say? Hoping to see this printed, but please do not print my name. LOLA. There are some men in the business world who feel that be cause they employ a woman to work for them, they are at lib erty to make advances to her. Let this doctor see that you are not to be persuaded. Tell him straight away that you do not care to accept anything from him. He is trying to see how far he can go. And it is up to you to tell him what you think of his actions. Attend to your work and do not do or say anything to lead him on. . “CORNS” Lift Right Off Without Pain V XX 10 Doesn’t hurt a bit! Drop a little "Freezone” on an aching corn, in stantly that corn stops hurting, then shortly you lift it right off with fingers. Truly! Your druggist sells a tiny bottle of “Freezone” for a few cents, suffi cient to remove every hard corn, soft corn, or corn between the toes, and calluses, without soreness or irrita tion. —(Advt.) I am a young man of twenty-four; am in love with a girl seventeen She seems to love me at times, but when other boys are around she looks as if she cares more for them than she does for me. I am very jealous of her and cannot hide it. She told me once she loved me and I asked her to marry me, but she said I would have to wait awhile. I was talking of going to another state to work. Later I heard she said she didn’t care if I did go. I can never loxe another and will never be happy without her. Her people seem to like me fine. Please advise me what tc do to win her love. There is another girl who says she loves me, but J care for this other one only. Hov. must I treat the one that I do not care for to show her without hurt ing her feelings that I do not care anything for her? Oblige, TROUBLED. You have let the girl see how devoted you are to her. She is sure of you. Now, the thing to do, try to hide your jealousy. Let her go ahead and have other friends. Do not be at her beck and call. Try to become inter ested in other girls. There Is nothing like competition to arouse her interest in you. Don’t forget this. She will like you the better if she finds you are harder to get. Try to avoid the girl who really loves you as much as pos sible. By doing so she will soon see that ycu care nothing for her. I’m a Schoolfield girl coming tc you for advice. I’m 18 years old and a D employe of Dan River Cotton mill, and am not satisfied with my work. Am thinking of going to a business college and take a course and learn to be a stenographer. Do you think that’s too big an under taking for a poor girl with a com mon education? Do you think I'd succeed if I tried hard enough? And tell me what do you think of girls letting their beaus kiss them? Is there much harm in it? Thanking you for your advice, “WORRIED.” To be a successful stenograph er, one must have a good educa tion. It is absolutely necessary, and if you have a talent for anything else you had better im prove it. Os course, by study, and applying yourself you may make a stenographer, but it is a very hard thing to learn. I know for I studied it myself. I admire you for wanting to help yourself. Your conscience should tell you whether “kissing” is harmful or not. Men have more respect for the woman who keopf them at a distance.

C.—ln tellinr how she found relief from trouble ■ that had caused her much suffering Mrs. E. E. Oswalt, of this plac ' says: “Each month I would beg' to suffer with my back and heafi My limbs would ache and I wou’l chill. I wouldn’t be able to stay up no matter what I wanted to, do, c where I wanted to go. My peop’ l tried giving me different medicine i and teas and tonics, yet T didn’t gel any better. “Some one tol«. me of Cardui, and I began to take it. I noticed it helped me. I kept it up. After a few months I didn’t have any t-*' ble. For about six months I used it, before . . . “I found I was all right, and from that day to this have never had ans trouble at this time. I have take® it since, a bottle or two in the win* ter, especially when I have been ex* posed, and would take a cold, for I consider it the best thing a woman can take to tone up the system, keep off nervousness, and increase the ap petite. I certainly know It has been of great benefit to me.” If you are weak, nervous, or stif fer from womanly troubles such aJ Mrs. Oswalt mentions, take Cardui) the Woman’s Tonic.

Onalaska, Wis. —“Every month’ I had such pains in my back and lower fart of stomach could not lie in bed. I suffered so it seemed as though I would die and I was not regular either. I suffered for a year and was unfit to do my housework, could only wash dishes ■once in a while. I read an adver- K jßs tisement of what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound had done for other women and decided to try it. It surely did wonders for me. I have no pains now and I can do my house work without any trouble at all. will always praise your medicine as I do not believe there is a doctor that can do as much good in female weak ness, and you may use these facts as a testimonial.”—Mrs. Lester E. War ner, R. 1, Box 69, Onalaska, Wis. The reason women write such letters to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. and tell their friends how they are help ed is that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives. Freed from their illness they want to pass the good news along to other suffering women that they also may be relieved. rßmo. -TOinc,-.4;.-r.. 11 mu— tHAFEATHfOESI SAVE 1 26-lb. bed, 1 pair 6-Ib. pillows, 1 pair blankets full aiae. 1 counterpane large size, all for SIB.SS.
