Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is doing among the women of America is attracting the attention of many of our leading scientists, and thinking people generally. I The following letter is only one of many thousands which are on file in the Pinkham office, and go to prove beyond question that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound must be a remedy of great merit, otherwise it could not produce such marvelous results among sick and ailing women. Dear Mrs. Pmkham:? " About nine months ago I was a great sufferer with womb trouble, which caused me severe pain extreme nervousness and frequent headaches, from which the doctor failed to relieve me. I tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and within a short time felt better, and after taking five bottles of it I was entirely cured. I therefore heartily recommend your Compound as a splendid uterine tonic. It makes the monthly periods regular and without pain ; and what a blessing it is to find such a remedy after so many doctors fail to help you. I am pleased to recommend it to all suffering women."? Mrs. Sara Wilson, 31 East 3d Street, Cincinnati, Ohio. If you have suppressed or painful menstruation, weakness of the stomach, indigestion, bloating, leucorrhcea, flooding, nervous prostration, dizziness, faintness, "don't-care" and " want-to-be-left-alone" feeling, excitability, backache or the blues, these are sure indications of female weakness, some derangement of the uterus or ovarian trouble.

IN FIRE AND DEBRIS Scores of Shoe Factory Employes at Brockton, Mass., Meet Horrible Fate. CAUSED BY BOILER EXPLOSION I Large Factory Building Totally Wrecked and Then Destroyed by Flames. Hundreds of Workers Were Caught in Debris and Many of Them Were Roasted to Death. The city of Brocktcn, Mass., was the scene of a frightful horror Monday morning, in which at least three score of her citizens lost their lives, their bodies being mangled and cremated, by the explosion of a boiler ii} a large shoe manufacturing establishment in the Campello district conducted by the R. B. Grover Company. The explosion was immediately fol- j lowed by a flash of flame which consumed the factory, a long four-story structure, and incinerated an unknown number of men and women who were j unable to extricate themselves from a mass of tangled wreekage formed by the terrific upheaval in the boiler room. It may never be known just how ifiany persons perished in the wreck- i age. No one knows exactly how many persons were in the factory. The number has been estimated at 400, but | Treasurer Charles 0. Emerson of the Grower company said he doubted whether there were so many at work. Two hundred and fifty survivors have been accounted for and at midnight Mionday night the remains of fifty bodies had been recovered from the ruins, the search being continued all night. Fragments of human frames which possibly might belong to bodies other than those enumerated have also been found. Few of the remains have been identified. The head in nearly every case is missing and except in rare instances it was impossible even to distinguish the sex. The work of identifying those killed progressed slowly, owing to generally unrecognizable remains of the victims. Explosion Fallowed by Fire. The explosion which was followed | by such a sacrifice of life and entailed appalling instances of human suffering occurred shortly after the operatives had settled down to work for the day. Suddenly the air vibrated with the roar of an explosion. At the same moment the larger wood en frame of the factory, a four-story structure, quivered and then the rear portion of it collapsed. In a fraction of a second this section of the great building had been transformed into a mass of iron and wood wreckage, in the midst of which human beings were pinioned. In another moment fire had broken out in the debris and death by fire and suffocation became the fate of scores of the operatives. When the boiler exploded it passed upward almost perpendicularly, tearing a passage as it went, killing many on the way. After rising high in the air, i'i ucstcuucu uan Luc u 10 LUUV-V, and then swerving northerly, tore its way like some huge projectile through a dwelling house 50 feet away and pierced another dwelling further along, demolishing the latter structure. Here its course was stopped. Scenes of horror followed the wrenching apart of the fhctory builds ing. In the rear the three upper floors, weighted as they were with heavy machinery, collapsed with a crash that was heard for blocks. Men and women operatives working in departments of this section, who were busy at their machines, had time but to turn in an attempt to flee after the first dull roar, when the flooring sank beneath them, and they were carried to the ground floor, crushed and and bruised amid the mass of debris. TWonif fell Intr* O TT-OPl tahTA flprV fill*. -.TAau; ivii itivv M t w. -w?^j nace. In the sections of the factory which remained standing the operatives were panic-stricken as they sought to escape. Many fled down the stairways and reached the street; others ran to the windows, the fire escape^in many cases have been torn a^^ty by the explosion. In desperation many jumped from the second and third-story windows to the ground and were dangerously injured. The crush on the stairways resulted in numerous minor injuries. Instant death was the fate of a majority who went down with the floors that collapsed. A large number of men and women who were working near the supports were alive after the floors and walls fell.

Two Warships Are Also Ordered Post Haste to Venezuela to Coerce Castro?'Crisis Reacher. A Washington special says: The French Cable Company complications have reached a crisis, and MiniMeBrown has informed the state department that the French minister at Caracas, by instructions of his government, has notified the Venezuelan govi ernment that there must be no furj ther proceedings on its part toward j the cancellation of the company's irancnjae or mienerence wan lis i property. Further, Mr. Bowen reports that ; two French warships have been orj dered post-haste to Venezuela to act ! in accordance with the instructions | of the French minister. These are 1 the Julian de Gravrerru and the Du: plex, now in the Caribbean sea. j 'It is expected in "Washington that i the appearance of the warships at ! La Guayra will cause President Castro i to accede promptly to the demands of : the French minister, failing which the minister probably will place the legation in the care of acme other minister at Caracas, and go aboard one of ! the warships, thus severing diplomatic ; relations between France and Yen ezueia. The present situation cannot conj tinue more than a few days, accord! ing to the opinion of official Washj ington. If the Venezuelan government seizes the cable office near La Guayra, it is fully expected that the French warships will make a demonstration, attempt to land a force to recover possession of the property, and, if resisted, open fire on the defensive works recently constructed to defend the harbor and roadstead at La Guayra. The Dutch government has lodged a very serious complaint with President Castro against the treatment of its citizens and it may join with France in coercive meas. ures. The French government' has not asked'the consent of the United States to its proceedings against Castro, nor j dnps It. feel called uDon to do so. But, I with a perfect knowledge of the policy of the United States in such matters, the French government is going on the theory that there will be no intervention on the part of this government. This assumption is right, as there is no intention on the part of the French government of seizing with a view to Its retention of any Venezuelan territory. In the case of the last demonstration, Mr. Bowen, the American minister, W3s able to prevent a bombardment and secure the referencer of the dispute to The Hague tribunal, but as I it was, Venezuelan commerce suffered ! somewhat from a few weeks' blockade, j Now, however, Mr. Bowen's relations j with President Castro are very differj ent, and even if he had the disposi- j | tioQ to do so he lacks power to in- J i duce President Castro to peaceably settle this trouble. The state department also is not disposed to repeat the history of the first settlement with Venezuela as the results have been far from satisfactory, neither' the allied powers nor Venezuela pleased at the outcome. The obligations 'Incurred under the award of The Hague tribunal never have been met. j It is, therefore, the present intention of the United States government not to interfere with any dispute of a foreign nation with Venezuela provided the Monroe doctrine is not infringed. This determination does not estop action on our part in the inter ests or American couueajuvuo auu properties in Venezulea. GREENE-GAYNOR CASE BLOCKED. Fugitives Ordered to Appear Before Court of Claims at Washington. The suit of Greene and Gaynor in the name of the Atlantic Contracting company to recover about $710,000 from the government for work done and breach of contract in connection with their work in improving CumberI land Sound, Georgia, was brought to | a standstill Monday by an order of the court of claims directing them to appear in Washington and give testimony in the case, and that its prosecution be stayed until the order is complied with.

I SMALL TOWN IS BEST. </iews of the Advocates of More Na| turp and Less High Pressure Life. It is our belief, says Field .. & Stream, that in America wo have too many cities which are too large and a country which is too mcagerly populated. We prophesy a coming disintegration of massed populations, and their distribution in a more sane and industrially mere desirable fashion. The small town is next to the country. It is a better environment for the young man than is the great metropolis toward which so many turn their eyes. Trolley cars, rural deliveries, trade catalogues and mailorder periodicals have done very much to change the isolation which formerly went with life in the coun try. It is improving, and with it mproves the condition of life in the small town. Heretofore our young men have left the country for the city. Some of them were obliged to get there to succeed In their chosen line of work. For the young man who has a business career in view there is possible as good a success in a small city as he may hope for in a great one. If he has not much money capital, his personality, his character will more readily atone for that in a small town. This is especially true of the professional man. Indeed, any mai^ of intelligence may hope for greater preferment in the small centers of population than in the large. As to social life and the general decency and comfort of passing through this vale of tears as conditions exist oven todav?and they will be far bet ter ten years from now?a self-respecting family has ten times better chance in a town of 10,000 to 50,000 inhabitants almost anywhere ia America, than it can by any possibility hope to have in a city of the first class. The small town is a better environment in many ways. Not the least of its 'desirable qualities is the fact that it is closer to the out3 -doors. Two Japanese Generals. General Kuroki spent most of his r time in the shade. When the Japanese raise a statue of him I hope that he will not be riding a prancing steed and swinging his sword, for he * - ? J never rode a prancing norse auu never used his sword. To my recollection I never saw him make any gesture except to salute. The sculpI tor had best make him squatting and looking at a map while he listens to his staff; and always all of his staff except the younger men (the gallopers) were at his side. He could call for information or suggestions as quickly as the head of a great business house who has a row of push buttons on his desk. General Fuji, the chief, went to sleep in the thick of the fight on the 2d. He had worked most of the night planning for that day. He could not make the work of our infantry any easier or make the fire of our guns any more accurate by watching them. He could hear much better than he could see, getting over the wire every detail of the movement of each regiment and battalion has each general and colonel and major saw it When he was wanted he could be awakened. Until he was, according to the scientific view, he served his country best by resting.? Frederick Palmer's "With Kuroki." HIS" PICNIC.

It is the simple life that gives length of days, serenity of mind and body and tranquility of soul. Simple hopes and ambitions, bounded by the desire to do good to one's neighbors, simple pleasures, habits, food and drink. Men die long before their time because tbey try to crowd too much into their experiences?they climb too high and fall too hard. A wise woman writes of the good that a simple diet has done her: "I have been using Grape-Nuts for about six months. I began rather sparingly, until I acquired such a Hking for it that for the last three months I have depended upon it almost entirely for my diet, eating nothing else whatever but Grape-Nuts for breakfast and supper, and I believe I could eat it for dinner with fruit and be satisfied without other food, and feel much better and have more strength to ^^ TOT* linncou'Art UV ilij MVU^V ff "When 1 began the use of GrapeNuts I was thin and weak, my muscles were so soft that I was not able to do any work. I weighed only 108 pounds. Nothing that I ate did me any good. I was going down hill rapidly, was nervous and miserable, with no ambition for anything. My condition improved rapidly after I began to eat GrapeNuts food. It made me feel like a new woman; my muscles got solid, my figure rounded out, my weight increased to 12(3 pounds in a few weeks, my nerves grew steady and my mind better and clearer. My friends tell me they haven't seen me look so well for years. "I consider Grape-Nuts the best food on the market, and shall never go back to meats and white bread again."

He was ' AjgH known as Jules, and was as smart as ' *m they make them. He gradually adopted the local room as his home and 9 spent a great deal of his time there. The owner of Jules whs/ seldom ' M known to feed the dog, because he had H hard work to buy meals for himself, || owing to his constitutional impecnnios- j ity. This did not hamper Jules.
