This woman says that sick women should not fail to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as she did. Mrs. A. Gregory, of 2355 Lawrence St., Denver, Col., writes to Mrs. Pinkham: "I was practically an invalid for six years, on account of female troubles. I underwent an operation by the doctor's advice, but in a few months I was worse than before. A friend advised Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable rnmnmmfl and it restored me tonerfect health, such as I have not enjoyed in many years. Any woman suffering- as I did with backache, bearing-down pains, and periodic pains,should not fail *9 use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable^ Compound." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with j displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, flatulency, indigestion, dizziness or nervous prostration. Why don't you try it ? Mrs. Pinkham invites all sicli women to write iier lor auvice. She has guided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass. Milking by Maohinerj. In the dairy department of the agricultural college at Manhattan, Kan., they have been successfully milking cows by machinery. The milking machine is a queer looking apparatus, driven by a gasoline engine. "With one end fastened to a cow it milks away in spite of all the kicking and cavorting the cow may do. In this modern invention may be seen the finish of the milk maid, whose charms the poets have exploited in verse from time immemorial.? Epitoraist. Stones of Gwandu.

Heart Failure Due to Hyacinths. Until lately few cases of serious heart failure due to the presence of hyacinths in living rooms have been recorded. The latest instance is that of a healthy young girl in Bromley, Kent, who, after sitting for a couple of J u~"? <- mnm in tvhirh there were I UUUIO 1LX .. several pots of these plants, began to feel somewhat faint. Two hours later, >^ter she had gone home she fell into a deep sleep. The doctor In attendance stated that the defective heart action, leading to the insufficient supply of blood to the brain, which caused the fainting, was due to the effect of the hyacinth scent on the nerves which regulate the heart's action. "Heavily scented flowers," says a medical man, referring to this case, "should never be kept in any living room which is not well ventilated. The keavy feeling which too many flowers it a close room are apt to give is due to a slightly depressant action on the heart. If the heart is weak, or 'nervous,' and the perfume Is sufficiently concentrated, the heart beat may be so impaired as to cause a prolonged fainting fit."?St." Louis Glob*"Oemocrat. Creaking Doors.

CHANGE IN FOOD Works Wonders in Health. It is worth knowing that a change in food can cure dyspepsia. "I deem it my duty to let you know how Grape-Nut* food has cured me of indigestion. "I had been troubled with it for years, until last year my doctor recommended Grape-Nuts food to be used every morning. I followed instructions and now I am entirely well. "The whole family like Grape-Nuts, we use four packages a week. You are welcome to use this testimonial as you see ni." The reason this lady was helped by the use of Grape-Nuts food is that it is predigested by natural processes, and therefore does not tax the stomach as the food she had been using; it also contains the elements required for building up the nervous system. If that part of the human body is in perfect working order there can be no dyspepsia, for nervous energy represents the steam that drives the engine.

The key to the mystery is thought to lie with Ray Lamphere. former man-of-all-worl; for Mrs. Guinness. The authorities charge him with the murder of Mrs. Guinness and her j children and with burning the farm! house. Lamphere wa3 madly in love with Mrs. Guinness and had beea | Couted by her. He was poor, an ' noyed ner witn nis protestations ana j she sent him away. She was luring men of small means from the West and Northwest to hei ! slaughter house. Lamphere, with the | ever watchful eyes of the lover, be| came troublesome. She would nc doubt have murdered .him and buried him with her other victims in hei barnyard had it not been that he was a native ar-3 his disappearance would have been more difficult to explain than were those of the men from distant points. These merely had lefl town, gene home, according to her reports, and that ended the matter.

Mystery of the Headless Body. Is Mrs. Guinness alive? The Laporte authorities are not agreed upon their answers. There is, first of all, the mystery of the headless body supposed to be that of the woman. A careful search of the ruins has failed to reveal a tracc of the head. How could the woman's head have been totally incinerated and the body left intact? Besides, Mrs. Guinness had one strong means of identification. Her upper set of teetn were neavny piaceu wun guiu, in fact, almost entirely covered, the dentist using something like $300 worth of the precious metal. Seven gold watches were found in the ruins little harmed by the flames, and the authorities say that if they did not suffer from the heat the gold on the woman's teeth would also have been unharmed. In order to be certain that the gold is not in the ruins. Sheriff Smutzer ordered the searchers to get sieves and sift all of the ashes in the ruins. The Prosecutor say3 that certain trunks have already been traced in that way, and he is now convinced that all the bodies aro victims of the woman. The Prosecutor also believes that the headless body now at the morgue and which was found in th? ruins of the Guinness home is that of Mrs. Guinness. The size corresponds well with hers, and the fact that the head is missing is not regarded as very strange, for the body lay in such a position that the head would have been covered by the falling walls and thus would have been exposed to a more intense heat than any other part of her person. A large glass bowl, which was found against the left shoulder, was half melted away, showing that the heat had been greater there than at any other place in the debris. A strong chain of evidence is being woven around Ray Lamphere, the hired hand on the Guinness farm. Lamphere and John Maxon, who had worked for Mrs. Guinness, were examined about the house, and the suspicions of the Sheriff on two important points were confirmed. One was that the murders were done in a "guest's room" on the second floor, and that the bodies were hacked to pieces in a "dark room" in the cellar. Lamphere said that the "guest's room" always was locked, and that he never was permitted to enter it. He said that two padlocks were kept on the "dark room," which was built of solid masonry on three sides and Vfi'.u iue uuiy upeumg a uanuw uuur of oak. It is thought that the woman kept bodies in the cellar until sh^e had several for burial. This much is indicated by the fact that of two bodies found together one was in a more advanced state of decomposition than the other. Mahogany in Guests' Room. The guests' room, it has been found, was luxuriously furnished. Mrs. Guinness ordered the furniture herself in a Laporte store. A set of bird's-eye maple was obtained from a wholesale house in Chicago, but the woman rejected it with the remark, "It's too light in color and too hard to keep clean." She finally accepted a set of mahogany, and it is believed the bill was paid with money from one of her victims. She bought the finest imported curtains for the room, the item of sale being found in tho books of a merchant here. At the time she selected the cur tains Mrs. Guinness took pride in telling of the care she was taking with the room. She said she always liked to have friends around, and that they must have the best she could afford. There is no doubt that the murders were done in the dead of night when the victims slept. In each skull holes show there never was a change in attack, and in this the Coroner sees evidence of the cunning of the wornav. He said that the method of killing was such that little or no blood would be spilled, and that the instrument used had a projection or thick needle only long enough to cause death by slightly puncturing the brain. Repeated blows were struck, and with each one the skull was pierced. The Coroner said the first blow undoubtedly caused death in each case. The scene where the bodies have been dug up is attractive. A pretty iron fence surrounds the ruins of the house, behind which is a large barn and a windmill. The spot in which the bodies were interred is on the side of the hill, and is surrounded by it wuveu wire ieuce. J. ins lence was a mystery to the authorities for some time until it was discovered that the pigs kept by the woman were directly behind the stable and the "hog run" led past the graveyard.

C.?This Congress leaves behind a record of unprecedented expenditures. Coming to Washington fresh from the scenes of the financial disturbance of the early fall, it has pushed the appropriations for the first session of the Sixtieth Congress above the billion dollar mark. Not so very many years ago Speaker Reed and his billion dollar Congress startled the country. Now the country has reached billion dollar sessions, and it takes two sessions to make a Congress. Not only does the billion dollar session follow closely the receding wave of a financial flurry, but it comes with a Treasury depleted and facing a deficit estimated for the fiscal year at $60,000,000, and for the current year ending December 31, 1908, at $100,000,000. The official statement of the Treasury Department recently showed an excess of expenditures above receipts of $53,018,829.37. The excess of receipts over expenditures was $58,410,542.53 one year ago, making a difference on the wrong aide of the ledger of $111,429,371.90. Nearly all the annual sunoly bills have received consideration from the House of Representatives, in which they originate. Not one has been passed by this Congress which does not show a substantial increase above the amount carried last year. The increase runs from $300,000, added to the amount of the Indian bill, to $26,000,000 in the annual appropriation for the navy. Exceeding Last Session's Figures. Making a conservative estimate, and adding the actual increases shown in those passed or under consideration, the appropriations of this session exceed those of the second session of the last Congress by $104,300,000. To this sum must be added >:he amount in the public building bill iemanded by those having close districts, where the judicious distribution of the contents of the "pork barrel" helps to turn the tide of votes. A ;onservative estimate of the provisions of this bill is $20,000,000. Added to the increases carried in the appropriation bills this gives an iggregate of $124,300,000, and raises I cne estimate 01 me apprupnauuus MOB WOMEN IN Newest Fashion Too Much F< Police W< Paris.?Disturbances which threatj ened to become a riot arose at the j Longchamps race course on Sunday ; from the appearance in the members* j enclosure of four young women attired in ultra-fashionable gowns.
