If there is any one thing that a woman dreads more than another it is a surgical operation. We can state without fear of a contradiction that there are hun dreds, yes, thousands, of operations performed upon women in our hos pitals which are entirely unneces sary and manv have been avoided by LYDIA E. PINfKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND For proof of this statement read the following letters. Mrs. Barbara Base, of Kingman, Kansas, writes to Mrs. Pinkham: " For eight years I suffered from the most severe form of female troubles and was told that an operation was my only hope of recovery. I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice, and took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it has saved my life and made me a well woman." Mrs. Arthur R. House, of Church Road, Moorestown. N. J., writes: "I feel it is my duty to let people know what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound has done for me.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and to-day I am well and strong." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E.

The Rind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of CIVIC IMPROVEMENT. A well known writer on civic im provement has written that we too often overdo some of our beautifying by leaving the task too long undone or until we get so wrought up over the necessity of its accomplishment that we continue on to the opposite extreme ?too many country roadsides, even whole villages, are slicked up until ail beauty is slicked out of them. There is a happy medium beyond which we j should not go when dealing with rural I or village scenery, says the Los Ange j les Times. In the city one may in j dulge himself so far as is possible in I scouring everything until its bright ness shines on all about, but sylvan scenery will not admit of like treat ment. While in the United States we clean up natural and artificial alike until the latter term will apply 'to all, we much admire the quiet, quaint, whole some villages of Europe, where in the very heart and center moss grown stone bridges arch between banks whose slopes are covered with under brush, ferns and other deuizens of the woodland. Many of these old European villages, founded one or two thousand years ago, have the same tangled wlld wood along either side of their streams that was present when the first settler came. The fitness and charm of such treat ment or lack of treatment have been recognized in many towns and cities of our country where parkways have been built along the banks of streams, ofteu for stretches of several miles. No fea ture of civic improvement would add more of charm to the whole of Los Angeles than to have the narrow strips along the banks of the Los Angeles river planted to suitable trees and shrubs. Railroads should be compelled to keep their tracks farther away from the official river banks and maintain a narrow park alongside their right of way. Some eastern cities have so or dained Ignorance ceases to be bliss when you begin to realize it. A Cure For Misery. "I have found a cure for the mis ery malaria poison produces," says R. M.

He knows that a certain proportion of each ingredient will have a certain effect on the results. He knows that too much is just as detri mental as too little. In other words, it's details?looking after the little things?to see that these are right before one can expect a perfect whole. To make good bread to day ? tomorrow ? all the time, is the hardest thing to do. Because chance may favor one for a month?two months?or even a year. Conditions may be just right without knowing it during this time. And then when condi tions change it means a deteriorated product. That's just the way with paint making. Some paint is good this month and poor the next. That's because the makers do not know of all the conditions affecting the making of good paint.

Put Love Above Tainted Money Standard Oil Heiress, Defying Parental Disapproval and Risk ing Disinheritance, Evaded Her Bodyguard and Fled to Wed Her Penniless Lover. Mrs. James A. Deering, who was Miss Violet Pierce, daughter of H. Clay Pierce, the Standard Oil millionaire, and who eloped with her sweetheart and was married to him in defiance of frowning parental disapproval, had as exciting a romance, it is now learned, as seldom falls to the lot of daughters of the very rich. For weeks before she slipped away from her jailers in the Fifty-seventh street (New York) mansion that was formerly the home of lticbard T. Wil son, Jr., the beautiful Miss Pierce was a prisoner In her room under the close surveillance of her parent Miss Pierce was a debutante just out of boarding school when she met James A. Deerlug and fell deeply in love. Society looked on and approved of the infatuation, for absolutely no objection could be raised to the young man in view of his wealth, family and clean manner of life. But when news of the romance reached the grim old millionaire In St. Louis he flung him self aboard n train and came down />n the happy lovers like a thunderclap. With words that were short he for bade the public announcement of the engagement. Miss Violet's elder sister, Mrs. Eben Richards, was ordered by her father to come down from Tuxedo and keep close watch that the baby of the family saw nothing of her Jimmy. Young Deering was ordered never to set his foot across the threshold of the Pierce mauslon. But that was not all. The servants of the establishment were and key, neglecting bis multifarious business duties so as to remain on guard. The excitement of this episode caused, a collapse of Miss Pierce's uerves, and she was confined to her bed for several days under the care of a nurse. When she got well she grimly decided thai: she would circumvent her parents and marry the man of her choice despite jailerp and locks. She made knowr-. her purpose, and the father redoublec. bis precautions. The rear of the house was barred, and even supplies and servants were admitted at the front entrance. Miss Violet was forbidden to go out unless upon express permission and under es cort of her sister, Miss Burrough, who had chaperoned her into society. As a further re-enforcement her eldest: brother's wife, Mrs. Clay Pierce, was brought on from St. Louis. Several sen-ants who refused to take part in this strenuous system of espion age were discharged, and a butler stood at the front door all day like a mediae val jailer. But love laughs al turnkeys, and the vigilant butler was outwitted. Miss Pierce obtained permission of her fa ther to go shopping with her sister-in law. His consent contained the proviso that she should not see Jim. The mo tor was ordered for a certain hour, bu'; Miss Violet was ready some time be forehand. She went to the guardian butler and asked if the car had arrived. He said A BUTLER STOOD GUARD AT THE FRONT DOOR ALL DAY. organized into a guard and command ed to watch every action of the girl day or night. Day by day the father questioned his daughter regarding every move she had taken during the hours he was not personally on guard, and if her report did not tally, jot by jot and tittle by tittle, with the evidence contained in his reports a< storm was sure to burst. The young sons of the family wore summoned home from college and add ed to the guarding force. The situa tion was peculiarly distressing to the spirited girl, and when she attained her majority a few weeks ago she as serted her rights in open revolt. This sudden expression of independ ence where before there had beeu oniy timorous obedience provoked a tem pest that shook the aristocratic house hold to its foundations. It is said that the father shut his daughter in her bedroom, where be kept her uuder lock "No." Then Miss Pierce asked him to telephone to the garage and learn the cause of the delay. The butler com plied, and when he had stepped back to the phone the girl slipped out The escape had been planned. Jim my was waiting on the corner with his car. The happy couple motored to New Jersey to be married, but were unable to obtain a license with the haste they felt the situation required. Returning to New York city, they managed to get one later in the even ing from the city hall license bureau. Then they were married by the Rev. Dr. William C. Rodgera in his rooms in Seventy-ninth street shortly before midnight. Meanwhile Mr. Pierce was scouring the environs of Manhattan Island for trace of the eloping pair. Now it is said the father is coming around to see that his objections to Jimmy Deer ing were hysterical. Deaf Mute Convicts Murderers By Gestures He Teils Story of Crime So Graphically That Accused Man Betrays Himself. A murder trial at Bordeaux, France, in which an Innkeeper, his wife and two accomplices were charged with .killing a customer, was the occasion of a dramatic scene when one of the wit nesses took the stand. This witness, named Lacainpagne, was a deaf mute ignorant of the ordinary finger lan guage. His brother-in-law and two of his friends appeared to translate his ges tures into words, but their services were really unnecessary, so clearly did he express himself by that instinctive mimicry which is sometimes the ac companiment of speech, but here bo came its substitute. During bis evidence the deaf mute, who had been the handy man of the Inn, always designated the victim by sucking in his cheeks against his teeth, the landlord by shaking his fist?his employer's usual method of speaking to him?the landlord's wife by putting bis hands to his hair, one accomplice by curling his mustache aud the other by striking an imaginary match on his trousers, as this prisoner was a smug gler of matches. Then, with short, abrupt gestures, ns clear as they were rapid, he told his story?how the landlady sent him away on an errand, how he returned to fled the door locked, how be entered by the cellar door, saw the corpse, saw one murderer washing a blood stained hammer, another cleaning his face and hands and the landlady embracing her husband as if to thank him for what he had done. The landlord caught sight of him and dealt him a violent blow, then, changing his mind, made signs to him to help to get rid of the body. At this point the landlord, who clear ly followed the deaf mute's story, broke >n with "That's a He; that's a lie!" Lara pagne turned and looked in the landlord's face: then, stamping with his foot, l.e raised his hand and stood In the same solemn attitude In which he had t 'ken the oath. Thb evidence and a confession by the mustache wearing prisoner were enough to convict the accused. The landlord and the match smuggler were sentenced to death, the others to im prisonnient for fifteen years. Engraved Visiting Cards.

CURES ?SKIN DISEASES There is an evaporation from the body going on continually, day and: night, through the pores and glands of the skin. This is nature's way of maintaining the proper temperature of our systems and preserving the soft ness and flexibility of the skin, and so long as the blood is free from impur ities no trouble will result. When, however, the blood from any causer becomes infected with humors and acids, these too must be expelled, and. coming in contact with'the delicate fibres and tissues with which the skin is so abundantly supplied they produce irritation and inflammation, and the^ effect is shown by Eczema, Acne, Tetter, and skin affections of various kinds. These impurities and humors get into the blood through a deranged or inactive condition of the system ; the members whose duty it is to carry off the waste and refuse matter of the body fail to properly perform their work, and this impure, fermenting matter is left in the system to be absorbed by the blood. The skin is not only affected by poisons generated within the system, but poisons from without, I have used your S. S. S., spring and fa?, for the past two years, with the result that it entirely relieved me of a form of Eczema, which my doctor was unable to cure. My arms, tower limbs, and, in fact, the bissest portion of my whole body was affected, and when I first began S. S. S. the itching, etc., was worse, but I continued the remedy with the result that the dry, itching eruption en tirely disappeared. I think a great deal of your medicine, and have recommended it to others with good results. It is the best blood medicine made, and I can conscientiously recommend it for the cure of all blood and skin nffections. CHAS. HORSTMAH Wheeling, W. Va. such as Poison Oak, Poison Ivy, Nettle Rash, etc., enter through the open pores and glands, and so thor oughly do they become rooted in the blood that they are ever present, or return at certain seasons of each year to torment the sufferer. Salves, washes, lotions, etc., cannot cure skin diseases. True, such treatment re lieves some of the itching and dis comfort, and aids in keeping thesk^n clean, but it does not reach the real cause, and at best can be only palli ating and soothing. A thorough cleansing of the blood is the only certain cure for skin diseases. S. S. S., a gentle acting, safe blood purifier, made entirely of vegetable ingredients of the forest and field, is the proper treatment. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation, and neutralizes the acids and humors, thoroughly cleansing and purifying the blood, and curing skin affections of every kind. It supplies to the blood the fresh, nutritive qualities necessary to sustain the skin and all other parts of the body, and rids the blood of any and all poisons. S. S. S. cures Eczema, Tetter, Acne, Salt Rheum, Poison Oak and Ivy, Nettle Rash, and all other skin troubles, and cures them permanently by removing every trace of the cause from the blood.
