WHI' ..I.. .;$ How Liquor Is Sold With Bal sam Head Rests. IHGEHUITY OP THE M00NBHIUEES. Barton Holme* Tell* of Their New Rose In Tenneaaee to Evade the Gnlted State* Revenae Ofllcl*l*. Novel Experience of a Camping Party Near Jellico. "Whisky pillows" are the latest de vice of moonshiners to dodge the Unit ed States internal revenue authorities, says the Chicago Post. Many stories have been told of the Ingenious tricks resorted to In the sale of illicit whisky, but the “pillow” is the latest and most novel. Burton Holmes, the lecturer, who buM been In the mountains of Tennessee re cently, tells of discovering the pillows thus: “I had Joined a camping party near the small town of Jellico, which Is on the state line between Tennessee and Kentucky,” he said. “Some one sug gested a trip up the mountains to get pine needles or balsam pillows from the mountaineers, who sell them to the few tourists that reach this wild re gion of the Blue Ridge. It wus after several hours’ hard climbing that a full half mile off the trail we saw our first cabin. We all went over, and after several whoops and calls our ef forts were rewarded by a woman com ing to the door. "We asked If she had any pine pil lows for sale, and Instead of answering she slowly and with great care looked us over. I could see that her inspec tion more or less satisfied her, but she said she ‘didn’t know,’ she would ‘have to see,’ and, turning, she went back Into the house. "Almost Immediately we could hear a hurried conversation that was being carried on in low tones, and In a sur prisingly short time a man appeared and asked what kind of pillows we were looking for, ‘men’s or women’s.’ “Not a little surprised at the ques tion, I replied that we would like a few of both, My answer evidently puzzled him, for his eyes narrowed Into a peculiar squint, and he told us he did not have any women’s ‘made up,’ but that we could have loose bal sam for these at the rate of B0 cents a pillow. He said he had men’s pillows all ready, but they would be $1 50 each. “Finally we were fitted out with enough balsam to make pillows for the women, and each man In the party had under his arm a rude sackllkc pillow that felt as If It contained a brick. We had all been wondering what made the pillows so heavy until curiosity finally overcame one of the men, and with the help of a penknife he started an inves tigation. "The mystery was soon solved, for when he withdrew his hand a full quart of moonshine whisky came with It. Needless to say. none of us that had purchased ‘men’s pillows’ could use them to sleep on until slight al terations had been made.” “SIMPLE LIFE” AT WEDDING. Fair to Adopt Flan In Future and Abandon Cooked Diet. Annie Louise Ambrose and Edgar Wallace <’enable were married recent ly at Los Anodes according to the doctrines of the "simple life,” says a Los Angeles dispatch. No unnecessary word was spoken by the Kev. D. I. Jenkins, who p ;• an.o d Die ceremony. The word "obey” was omitted. Because it is a custom to take a honeymoon trip, the bride and bride groom w-ilkel from church to their new home anu began life at once with a menu that abo.ishes meats and all cooked foods, their principal articles of diet being nuts, fruits and vegetables. At the wedding supper which followed the ceremony no cooked foods were served The party sat under trees and ate nuts and fruit. A garden and orchard on their farm will furnish ! >v, and so far as pos sible no articles of raiment not made by the wife will he worn by either. Simple methods will rule their home in everything, and this Includes the dispensing with shoes.

OPERATIONS AVOIDED Two Grateful Letters from Women Who Avoided Serious Operations.—Many Women Suffering from Like Conditions Will Be Interested. When a physician tells a woman, suf fering from ovarian or womb trouble, that an operation is necessary it, of course, frightens her. The very thought of the operating table and the knife strikes terror to her heart. As one woman expressed it, when told by her physician that she must undergo an operation, she felt that her death knell had sounded. Our hospitals are full of women who are there for ovarian or womb operations! It is quite true that these troubles may reach a stage where an operation is the only resource, but such cases are much rarer than is generally supposed, because a great many women have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound after the doctors had said an operation must be per formed. In fact, up to the point where the knife must be used to secure instant relief, this medicine is certain to help. The strongest and most grateful statements possible to make come from women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound, have escaped serious operations. Margrite Ryan. Treasurer of St. An drew’s Society. Hotel English, Indian apolis, Ind. .writes of her cure as follows: Dear Mrs. Pinkham;— “ I cannot find words to express mv thanks for the good Lydia E. Pinknam’s Vegetable Compound did me. The doctor said I could not get well unless I had an operation for ovanan and female troubles. I knew I could not stand the strain of an operation and made up my mind I would be an invalid for life. Ash Mr*. Plnkham's Advice—A Hearing how Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound had saved other women from serious operations I decided to try it, and In less than four months I was entirely cured; and words fail to express my thankfulness.” Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Sd Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham “Loss of strength, extreme nervonsness, severe shooting pains through the pelvio organs, cramps, bearing down pains, and extreme irritation compelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after making an examination, said that I had ovarian trou ble and ulceration, and advised an operation as my only hope. To this I strongly objected —and I decided as a last resort to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “ To my surprise the ulceration healed, all the bad symptoms disappeared, and I am once more strong, vigorous and well; and I can not express my thanks for what it has done forme.” Ovarian and womb troubles are steadily on the increase among women —and before submitting to an opera tion every woman should try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Masa. for advice. For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham’a Vegetable Compound has been caring the worst forms of female complaints, all ovarian troubles, inflammation, ul ceration, falling and displacement of the womb, leucorrhoea, irregularities, indigestion and nervous prostration. Any woman who could read the many grateful letters on file in Mrs. Pink* ham's office would be convinced of ths efficiency of her advice and Lydia EL Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Weman Best Understands a Woman’s Utah riHII >=*» r S Cures Rhettmaiisr Is never peddled from door to door, nor sold by unreliable street men. At last we have something new, at last we have a medicine so formulated that it will honestly cure any case of Rheumatism which other remedies or treatment have failed to affect. In nine- tenths of the chronic cases, treatment fails because the different medicines used did not hit the diseased spot. Treating symptoms is treating blindly. Symptoms are misleading. You msy hit on the right thing, more often yon may not. With Checkers, it is different. This medicine is nmnded on the most common-sense principle in the world. In its formula is embraced an active, E owerful ingredient for every one of the great vital organs of the uman body. Use Checkers and there isn’t a portion of your body that it does not touch, that it does not stimulate, regulate, that it does not bring increased vitality and action into. Don’t you see that a medicine so formulated must Kit the diseased spot, and therefore a permanent cure of Rheumatism is remarkable easy? Try a large dollar bottle, or write to-day for free sample— you’ll forget it to-morrow. Checkers Medicine Ck>., Winaton-Salem, N. C. New Dress Goods! New Dress Goods!! New Dress Goods!!!
