Dyspepsia of Women Caused by Female Disorders and Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound A gTeat many women suffer with a form of indigestion or dyspepsia which does not seem to yield to ordinary treatment. Whiie the symptoms seem to be similar to those of ordinary indigestion, yet the medicines universally prescribed do not seem to restore the patient's normal condition. |! f | Mrs. /A. i/Yrigh t M?-? Pinlv-hpm riaims that there is a I 3cind of dyspepsia that is caused by a derangement of the female organism, ?xtd which, while it causes a disturb-ance similar to ordinary indigestion, cannot be relieved without a medicine "which not only acts as a stomach tonic, Irat has a peculiar tOnic effect on the feunale organism. As proof of this theory we call attention to the case of Mrs. Maggie "Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y., who was completely cured by Lydia E. PinkSiam's Vegetable Compound after every"thing else had failed. She writes: 44 For two years I suffered with dyspepsia which so degenerated the entire system that I was unable to attend to my daily duties. I ielt weak and nervous, and nothing that I ate tasted good and it caused a disturbance in my stomach. I tried different dyspepsia cures, 3jut nothing seemed to help me. I was adTised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial, and was happily surprised "to find that it acted like a fine tonic, and in a lewdavs I began to enjoy and properly digest my food. My recovery was rapid, and in five weeks I was'a well "woman. I have recommended it to many suffering women." No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement or has such a record of cures of female troubles, as has Lydia EL Pinkhaui's Vegetable Compound.

EFFORT A FAILURE Though Peary Broke All the North Pole Records. REACHED LATITUDE OF 87 And Six Minutes in Daring Dash tc Polar Regions on the Roosevelt. Letter is Received from Him. The United States now holds the record of "furthest north," S7 degrees 6 minutes. This feat was accomplished by Commander Robert E. Peary of the United States navy. The intrepid Arctic explorer failed to reach the north pole as he had confidently hoped to do with his specially constructed vessel, the Roosevelt, but he penertated nearer to the pole than the duke of Abruzis epedition which had held the Arctic record, 8-6 degrees, 34 minutes. What Commander Peary did and flis experiences during t.ne i past year in the frozen north are briefly but vividly summarized in a communication received Friday night by Herbert L. Bridgeman, secretary of the Peary Arctic Club. This communication follows: "Kopedale, Labrador, via Twillingate, N. F.f November 2.?Herbert L. Bridgeman: Roosevelt wintered north coast Grand land, somewhere north Alert winter quarters. Went north with sledges February via Heckla and Columbia. Delayed by open water between 84 and 85 degrees. Beyond 85 six days. Gale disrupted ice, destroyed caches, cut off communication with supporting bodies and drifted due east. Reached 87 degrees six minutes north latitude over ice, drifting steadily eastward. Returning with eight dogs. Drifted eastward, delayed by open water, reaching north coast Greenland in straitened conditions. Killed musk oxen and returned along Greenland coast to ship. "Two supporting parties driven on north coast Greenland. One rescued by me in surviving condition. After one week recuperation on Roosevelt sledge west, completing north coast Grant land and reached other land near 100th meridian. Homeward voyage incessant battle with ice, storms and head winds. Roosevelt magnificent ice fighter and sea boat No deaths or illness in expedition. "PEARY." After furnishing the Associated Press the contents of Commander Peary's report, Mr. Bridgeman said that the receipt of the news was a surprise to him. because he had supposed it had become too late in the season for Commander Peary to snnd word of his venture. Mr. Bridgeman added thai the message spoke for itself, and that since he did not know more of the results of Commander Peary's efforts to reach the pole than the public did, he could hardly comment upon the dispatch. There was little doubt, however, he said that Commander Peary was coming home. This seems to be borne out by the routing of the dispatch. Hopedale or Hoffenthal is a Moravian mission station on the east coast of Labrador. Twillingate Is a port on the east coast of Newfoundland. Mr. Bridgeman said the message was probabablv mailed by Comamnder Peary from Hopedale to the most acceptable cable point. ( Robert Edwin Peary was born In 1854. He Is a civil engineer in the United States navy. His first trip to l.he Arctic regions was made in 1886. In September. 1902, he reached latitude 84.17 north. His wife accompanied her husband on three of his expeditions as far as the winter quarters. The previous record of the point nearest the pole was made by Captain Cagni. duke of the Abruzzi's Italian expedition, who reached 86.3 north, or within 237 statute miles of the pole. The point reached by Peary, 87.6, placed him about 203 miles from the pole. CONVICTS ON THE INCREASE. Mississippi Gained Two Hundred During the Past Year. The prison population of Mississippi is increasing. Figures just issued by the board of control show that there are now 1,300 convicts on the various farms of the state, this being an increase ??? *? +v,? trosr if this Increase 01 ZUV IUI LUC J ^ ?- . ? keeps up it wpuld not be surprising if the state did not within the next five years have to purchase another farm on which to work its convicts. Over two-thirds of the convicts are negroes. Expart Duty on""Coal ~~Aborished. A London special says: The abolition of the export duty on coal, which became effective Wtednesday night, was the signal for the sailfng Thursday morning of coal laden vessels bound for foreign ports. No less than fifty steamers left the Bristol channel alone. A life merely of pleasure, or chiefly of pleasure, is always a poor and worthless life, not worth the living; always unsatisfactory in its course, always miserable in its end.?Theodore Parker. MAY SEND YAMS NORTH. Southern Sweet Potato Growers Think Easterners Might Like Them. Something like 175 varieties of sweet potatoes may be produced in the South, but for practical considerations there are only half a dozen or less that are commercially important. These are divided by the Southern Field into two distinct classes. First, the sorts held in favor in the North, which must be yellow, dry, mealy, small to medium size, and in the opinion of the Southern grower the less good quality they possess the better they are appreciated. Second, the varieties desired by Southern consumers, which may be yellow, red or white, medium or large in size, but must be moist, sugary and of rich flavor?qualities di rectly opposite to mose ueiiifiuueu ^ Northern markets. The old pumpkin or yellow ram, the vineless ^a-m and the Red Providence are considered the best for Southern trade. These are good, whether boiled or fried. When baked they come from the oven covered with a browned, sugary coating which has resulted from the exudation of the overabundance of sugar with which the potato is loaded. They make pies and pudding's which are superior to those made from pumkpins or squashes. People are governed by habit even in eating, and the Northern consumer, having firmly fixed in mind the ideal for the Irish potato?that is a dry, mealy potatoe?is disposed to sacrifice quality to make the sweet potato conform to this standard. While thi3 is true it is also a fact that Northern visitors to the South, many of whom have never had an opportunity to buy in their home markets the varieties so highly esteemed in the South, are quick tc appreciate their merits when served on the table at Southern hotels f.nd in Southern homes. This has convinced many growers and handlers of sweet potatoes that some adequate movement should he inaugurated to educate the public at large to the merits and good value of the Southern type of sweet potato. Trade Union Old Age Pensions. It may be doubted whether the public generally are fully aware of what is already being done tor the aged by working men through their trade unions and other great self-help ??? TTrvftrr n? fho nrinpinfll i vi vx vmv f ? trade unions paid in 1904 no less a sum than ?267,396 in superannuation benefit. . The .Amalgamated Society of Engineers itself is flying more than ?100,000 a year to its aged members. All this is in addition to large expenditure on the unemployed frhich again is no doubt greatly swelled by those who are made wordless through old age. The Northumberland and Durham Miners' Permanent Relief Fund has for many years made provision for its aged members. In 1905 there were 4,591 on the fund, the total amount paid in superannuation for the year being ? 60,094.?Nine^ teenth Century.

Three lives have been saved by means of a device invented by a Swedish woman named Llnd, for preventing people from being "buried alive. It was applied to 2,200 supposed corpses. It is sheer pretense to claim, as some do, asserts Leslie's Weekly, that the keepers of saloons or the managers of places of amusement, who defy the Sunday closing law3, are actuated by any desire to benefit their fellowmen. Such claims, as a matter of fact, deceive very few if any. If a more liberal construction of our Sunday laws has any justification, it must be found elsewhere than In this foolish and flimsy talk about benefiting workingmen. HARD TO SEE. . Even When the Facts Abont Coffee Are Plain. It is curious how people will refuse to believe what one can clearly see. Tell the average man or woman that the slow but cumulative poisonous effect of caffeine?the alkaloid in tea and coffee?tends to weaken the heart, upset the nervous system and cause indigestion, and they may laugh at you if they don't know the facts. Prove It by science or by practical demonstration in the recovery of coffee drinkers from the above conditions, and a larj? per cent, of the human family will shrug their shoulders, take some drugs and?keep on drinking coffee or tea. "Coffee never agreed with me nor with several members of our house| hold," writes a lady. "It enervates, depresses and creates a feeling of languor and heaviness. It was only by leaving off coffee and using Postum that we discovered the cause and cure of these ills. "The only reason, I am sure, why Postum is not used altogether to the exclusion of ordinary coffee is, many persons do not know and do not seem willing to learn the facts and how to prepare this nutritious beverage. There'3 only one way?accor<Jing to directions?boil it fully 15 minutes. Then it is delicious." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

The annual report of State Pension Commissioner John W. Lindsey of Georgia, submitted to Governor Terrell, Thursday, discloses two interesting and important facts, first that there is considerable fraud in the pension rolls which, under the present laws, it is practically impossible to eliminate; and, second, there will be a deficit of $30,249 in the pension appropriation for 1907. The report shows that there is a total of 13,448 pensioners of all classes to be paid in 1907, divided as follows: 8,133 indigent soldiers, 2,324 indigent widows, 2,6$6 disabled soldiers and 2,325 of the old class of widows. I j There is an increase tu. xm ypuaivu- j ers on all rolls this year, and there j was a similar Increase last year, when there was also a deficit of some $20,000. Thus the department Is confronted by a largely Increased deficit in 1907 since the appropriation is the same as for 1906, namely, $890,000. The legislature had to make an extra appropriation at its last session to supply this deficit and will have to do so again next summer. In his report Commissioner Lind- j sey goes on to show that there is a great deal of fraud on the (pension I rolls which he has no mean's of de-1 tecting. It is the duty of the grand j jury in each county to carefully ex-1 amine the pension rolls with a view I to eliminating thesfe fraudulent claims, but in very few instances Is thi3 done, it Is asserted. The pension commissioner has detected a large number of instances of fraud himself by calling on the records bureau of the war department in Washington for information as to pension applicants who claim to have been captured and held In prison. In this jvav many claims have been rejected because it was shown that the applicants were practically deserters from the Confederate army. WITfci CROWBARS AND DYNAMITE Sheriff in Louisiana Wrecks Railroad Bridge on Court Order A special from New Iberia, La., says: With dynamite and crowbars, Sheriff George Henderson opened a 45-foot gap in the trestle bridge of the Iberia and VermLUlan railroad over the Petit district canal in order to permit a dredge boat to pass. The railroad is a branch of the Southern Pacific. The sheriff acted on author-! ity of an order issued by Judge James Simon of the nineteenth judicial district court. The legal point at issue was the right of a drainage board to open this | trestle to enable the dredge to com- j plete the construction of the Petit ca-; nal. For three months the dredge has lain idle, unable to get past the trestle while legal controversies proceeded in the courts. Residents - in two ! wards will be benefited by the com-j pletion of the canal and about 1,000 j spectators gathered Thursday cheer- j ing each blast of dynamite. PETTICOAT. LAWYER EMPLOYED j By Uncle Sam to Conduct Prosecution in a Peonage Case. I Mrs. Mary Grace Quackenbos, a i lawyer of New York city, has been appointed a special assistant United States district attorney, being the first of her sex to be selected for such a position. The case which Mrs. Quackonbos will especially prosecute is that of the United States against Sig mund S. Schwartz, the proprietor or an employment bureau In New York, who is charged with peonage. It is alleged that Schwartz Induced men, all foreigners, to accept positions in the lumber and turpentine camps of the ^outh, and that there they were subject to a condition akin to slavery. Mrs. Quackenbos made a visit to the turpentine camps of the south to better fit herself for the trials of the cases, a number of which have been brought since the arrest of Schwartz. SOCIAL EQUALITY ADVOCATE Requested to Leave Community by Incensed South Carolinians. Mrs. E. S. Chapin, the northern woman, who was the victim of the negro, Ike Knight, hanged at Aiken, S. C., has left that community, at the request of conservative citizens. Mrs. Chapin signed the petition to Governor Heyward for commutation of Knight's sentence and on that account the feeling towards her was such that conservative Aiken men thought it well for her not to remain in the community.

The people regarded her as an advocate for social equality and, believing her presence in the community dangerous, they requested her to leave and she has quietly done so. =-==-. 1 Wtih the Funny Little*Bo Peep.
