How often do ws hear women saj’: “It
teems as though my back would break,”
or “Don’t speak to me, I am all out of

that the system requires attention.
Ba/kaehe aud “ the blues” are direct
symptoms of an inward trouble which
will sooner or later declare itself. It
may be caused by diseased kidneys or
some derangement of the organs.
Nature requires assistance and at once,
and Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound instantly asserts its curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments of
women. It has been the standby of
intelligent American women for twenty
years, and the best judges agree that
it is the most universally success
ful remedy for woman's ills known to
medicine.
Read the convincing testimonials of
Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. Cotrely.
Mrs J. C. Holmes, of Larimore, North
Dakota, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham;—
“ I have suffered everything with backache
and female trouble—I let the trouble run on
until my system was in such a condition that
I was unable to be about, and then it was 1
oommeuced to use Lydia Pinkham s Vege
table Compound. If I had only known how
much suflfering I would have saved 1 should
have taken it mbnths sooner—for a few
weeks’ treatment made me well and strong.
backaches and headaches are all gone and
I suffer no pain at my monthlv periods,
wherein before I took Lydia E. Piukham’s
Vegetable Compound I suffered intense pain.’’
Mrs. Emma Cotrely, 109 East 12th
Street, New York City, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
‘‘ I feel it my duty to tell all suffering women
of the relief I have found in Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetal>le Compound,
Compound I suffered
When I com
menced taking the
everything with backaches, headaches, and
female troubles. I am completely cured and
enjoy the best of health, and I owe it all
to you.”
When women are troubled with irreg
ular, suppressed or painful periods,
weakness, displacements or ulceration,
that bearing-down feeling, inflamma
tion of the female organs, backache,
bloating (or flatulence), general de
bility, indigestion and nervous prostra
tion. or are beset with such symptoms
as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excit
ability, irritability, nervousness, sleep
lessness, melancholy, “all gone” and
“ want to-be-left-alone" feelings, blues
and hopelessness, they should remem
ber there is one tried and true remedy.
Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Com
pound at once removes such troubles,
No other medicine has such a record
of cures of female troubles. No other
medicine in the world has received this
widespread and unqualified endorse
ment. Refuse to buy any substitute.
FREE ADVICE TO WOMEN.
Remember, every woman is cordially
invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham if
there is anything about her symptoms
she does not understand. Mrs. Pink
ham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E.
Pinkham, her assistant before her de
cease, and for twenty-five years since
her advice has been freely and cheer
fully given to every ailing woman who
asks for it. Her advice and medicine
have restored to health innumerable
women. Address, Lynn, Mass.

Three Things ia Consider
In Buying a Stove or Range
ft
QUALITY,
ECONOMY
AND
PRICE.
wmmMmMammmmmmzizijk
First—A Range or Stove that isn’t made of the very best material will soou crack
—it no longer cooks well, your money was wasted and yoa are dissatisfied.
Second—The Rauge or Stove that is built so that the heat escapes through uu
necessary apertures, consumes twice as much fuel as the one properly built, then
your fuel bill is too hea/y aud you are not satisfied.
Third—Don’t yield to the common fallacy that the article sold for the fewest
dollars is the cheapest. If a cooking apparatus isn’t built for a long life, it isn’t
cheap at auy price, ^tsjiotowhai^oupavfo^j^touigtoialcmrnts^its^whji^um

Checks and Stripes Promised.
For tailored costumes checked ma
terials are the first choice. All sorts
and sizes of checks in the greatest va
riety of fabrics. The smartest are
what is known as over-plaids, i. e.,
lines crossing at right angles over the
body color of the fabric constitute the
check.
Parisians Affectinq Stripes.
In Paris stripes lead among the neo-
ple who make styles, and no doubt
later we will have stripes adopted
here, bub for the present checks are
in greatest favor. For raid-season
suits and for traveling and auto wraps
the rough woven Burlinghams are
both modish and durable. While light
er weight silks are desired for cos
tumes the Rajahs are used. The’- have
a homespun weave, like the Burling-
ham. but are not so heavy.
Thanks are due the McCall company,
makers and designers of fashion, for

The Sunny South.

Yes, the south, that sweet, blessed

The curious traveler from the north
who expects to find the people of the
south in the easy-going condition
which prevailed during ante-bellum
days, will realize his mistake from
the moment that- he catches his first
breath of pure southern air. While an

broadcloth and broad-brimmed hat as

Atlanta is going to hold a southern

the world will learn that manufactur

success in many of the cities where,
during reconstruction period, the car

Keep the synshine in your hearts,
O ye southerners of splendid aspira
tions. Remember that the dead line
bet wen the north and Mie south is
obliberated forever. Think that your
success is our success. Recall that
your achievements thrill us beqaiise
we are proud that a brother has won
success. Keep in mind the thought
that the descendants of the men who
marched from the north to Gettysburg
have at least concluded that the
wealth and happiness of God’s countrv
cannot be monopolized by an section;
and then, between good will and the
soul which 1b bathed in sunshine, the
united land should march on to the ful
