Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com¬
pound at once rqmoves such troubles.
No other female medicine in the
world has received such widespread
and unqualified endorsement.
The need less suffering of women from
diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible
to see. The money which they pay to
doctors who do not help them is an
enormous waste. The pain is cured
and the money is saved by Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.

"My little eon, when about a year and
& half old, began to have tores come out
on his face. I had a physician treat him,
but the sores grew worse. Then they be¬
gan to come on his arms, then on other
parts of his body, and then one cam. on
his chest, worse than the others. Then 1
called another physician. Still he grew
worse. At the end of about a year and a
half of suffering he grew so bad I had to
tie his hands in cloths at night to keep
him from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk. My aunt
advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Oint¬
ment. I sent to the drug store and got a
cake of the Soap and a box of the Oint¬
ment, and at the end of about two months
the sores were all well. He has never had
any sores of any kind since. He is now
strong and healthy, and 1 can sincerely
say that only for your most wonderful
remedies my precious child would have
died from those terrible sores. Mrs. Eg¬

Franklin's Sawdust Pudding.
Franklin believed in fair competi¬
tion, In freedom for others as well as
himself, and cared more for his per¬
sonal independence in the conduct of
his business than for the business it¬
self. The story of the sawdust pud¬
ding should be known in every news¬
paper office in the country. When he
first started his Gazette, he made
some free comments on certain public
officials, and some of the Influential
patrons of the paper resented it and
tried to stop it. He invited them to
dinner. When they came they found
nothing on the table but a pudding
made of course meal and a jug of
water. They sat down, Franklin
filled their plates and then his own
and proceeded to eat heartily, but his
guests could not swallow the stuff.
After a few moments Franklin rose,
and looking at them, said quietly:
“My friends, any man who can sub¬
sist on sawdust, pudding, as I can,
needs no man’s patronage.”

A BOY’S BREAKFAST
There's a Natural Food That Afahei It'*
Own Way.
There's a boy up in Hooaick Falls, N.
Y., who is growing into sturdy man¬
hood on Grape-Nuts breakfasts. It
might have been different with him, ns
his mother explains:
"My eleven-year-old boy Is large, well
developed and active, and has been
made so by his fondness for Grape
Nuts food. At five years he was a very
nervous child and was subject to fre¬
quent attacks of Indigestion, which
UBed to rob him of his strength and
were very troublesome to deal with.
He never seemed to care for anything
for his breakfast until I tried Grape
Nuts, and I have never had to change
from that. He makes his entire break¬
fast of Grape-Nuts food. It is always
relished by him nnd he says that it
satisfies him better than tbe ordinary
kind of a meal.
“Better Ilian oil he is no longer
troubled with indigestion or nervous
ness, nnd has got to be a splendidly I
devoloped fellow since be began (o use |
Grape-Nuts food." Namfc given by

Pension Money Being Disbursed.
The work of paying out the state
pension fund has progressed more
rapidly this year, perhaps, than ever
before. Pension Commissioner J. W.
Lindsey began paying out pensions on
January 17, and within three weeks
101 out of 145 counties havo been
paid a total of more than $265,000.
This leaves about $275,000 to be paid
to the remaining forty-four counties,
and this work will be completed by
February 21, according to the sched¬
ule mapped out by the pension com¬
missioner at the beginning of the
year.
The total pension fund for 190G
was $900,000, which is $25,000 more
than has ever been appropriated be¬
fore. Still with this increase in the
oppropriation, there will be a deficit.

THE MAN IN THE STREET.
And How He Really Feels When He
Watches an Automobile “Honk”
Past Him.
"You'll never find me standing on
the curbstone and shouting, “Git a
horse!’ You'll never find me scatter¬
ing carpet tacks in the roadway. You'll
never hear me calling them ‘hell wag¬
ons,' or wrinkling up my nose and
saying, 'Pue!’ I rather like the smell
of gasoline unless it’s too near tho
gas-jet
“I always stop and follow with my
eyes when one honk-honks apast me.
It’s no use sending me on errands and
telling me to be right back, if my way
Is near a fine smooth street. I’ve
just got to stand and ‘gawp’ at them
going by. And if there's one on the
corner with a man trying to wind up
the spring in the front (or whatever
it is), so that the machine will shud¬
der just right, I join the throng of
messenger-boys, and men taking home
the wash, and fellows out of work,
and I stand, with my weight first oa
one foot and then on the other, try¬
ing to puzzle out what it is he does
with the handle. '
“I look at the folks riding in them,
leaning back so grandly with their
jaws tied up as for tho mumps, and
trying their blamedest not to let on
how tickled with themselves they
are, trying to pretend that It’s an old
story to them, and that they have
autos ever since the machines came
out. It is my daily effort to figure to
myself how it would be with me if it
was me instead of them. I was in
one once for a little while. Honest I
was. Now that’s no joke. I was.
Rode quite a ways, too. Anyhow, halt
a mile. I can't really describe my
sensations. The luxury got me rath¬
er rattled in my mind. I came as
near as scat! to making the worst bar¬
gain in my life, just on account of
that automobile, because the main
thing in my mind was that I ought
to have one.”—“-Do I Want an Auto¬

striking Instance of the scarcity ot
common sense In the places where It
is most needed. Ordinarily it is this

I ! When Irving Was Turned Down.
Bram Stoker, who for many years
was connected with the management

j an amusing incident whin occurred
[ West. during tne player's tour of the Middle
It appears that Irving, in order to
| break a “long jump” from Chicago to
another city was desirous of securing
for one night the theatre of a town In
! Indiana. Accordingly, Stoker wired
I * tor he and manager who of the “Zt p a>h se
question, requesting that. Sir Henry
be given a night’s engagement.
j In a short wnlle Mr. Stoker receiv
ed the following: "Does Irving pa
' rade?' When shown this, the distin
Ruished Briton was much amused. Ho
: directed Stoker to reply that Irving
j was a tragedian, not a minstrel.
The further reply came, “Don’t want
Irving unless he parades.”— Utip*I *

31 Boxes of Gold
300 Boxes of GreenbacKs
For the most words made
up from these letters
«
y i o Grape-Nuts
331 people will earn these prizes. !
Around tlie fireside or about the well
lighted family reading table during the
winter evenings the children ami
grown-ups can play with their wits and
see how many words can bo made.
20 people making the grentest num¬
ber of words will each receive a little
box containing a $10.00 gold piece.
10 people will each win one box con¬
taining a $5.00 gold piece.
300 people will each win a box con¬
taining $1.00 in paper money and one
person who makes the highest number
of words over all contestants will re¬
ceive a box containing $100.00 In gold.
It is really a most fascinating bit of
fun to take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
be added.
A few rules are necessary for abso¬
lute fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster’s
dictionary will be counted, but no name
of person. Doth the singular and
plural can be used, us for instance
“grape” and "grapes.” "Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts”
The letters in
may be repented In the same word.
Geographical names authorised by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, all those beglnlng with A to
together nud those beginning With E to
come under E, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces in the A, E,
and other columns to fill in later as new

into mind every evening.
It is almost certain that some con¬
testants will tie with others. In such
cases a prize identical in value' and
character with that offered In that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be requested to send with the
list of word# a plainly written letter
describing the advantages of Grape
Nuts, but the contestant Is not required

not to contain poetry, or fancy nour¬
ishes, but simple, truthful statements
of fact. For Illustration: A person

Source of Carpet Wool.
Carpet wools are grown in and im¬
ported from Russia, China, Argentina,
Turkey, France, Hungary and Den¬
mark. Carpet makers in this country
are dependent upon their importa¬
tions.
The sheep that bear this particular
grade of wool are not good for any
other purpose, and are not profitable
enough to tempt the American farmer,
although 100,((00,000 pounds are im¬

i wearing apparel, and thn-fiesVls too
poor for eating purposes. -
