It is a great i satisfaction for a woman to feel 1 that sMe can write to another telling her the most pri vate and confiden tial details about her illness, and .know that her let- [ter will be seen by _ 'a woman only. Tl JS Ma-ny thousands of cane* of female diseases come be fore Mrs. Pinkham every year, some personally, others by mail. Mrs. Pink- ham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years under her direction and since her de cease she has been advising sick women free of charge. Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con fidence of women, and every testimon ial letter published is done so with the written consent or request of the writer, in order that oth«?r sick women may be benefited as she has been. Mrs. Alice Berryhill, of 313 Boyee Street, Chattanooga. Tenn., writes Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “ Three years ago life looked dark to me. I had ulceration ;«Al inflammation of the female organs and was in a serious condition, “ Iffy health was completely broken down and tiie doctor told me that if I was not op erated upon I would die within six months. I told him I would have no operation but would try Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable ComiKiund. He tried to influence me against it but I sent for the medicine that same (lay and began to use it faithfully. Within five days I felt relief but was not entirely cured until I used it for some time. “Your medicine is certainly fine. Ilrave induced several friends and neighbors to take it and I know more than a dozen who had female troubles and who to-day are as well and strong as I am from using your Vege table Compound.” Just as surely as Mrs. Berryhill was cured, will Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound cure every woman suffering from any form of female ills. If you are sick write Mrs. Pinkham for advice.

In the beginning It seemed as everyone were trying to seo how hideous they could make themselves when indulging In this sport but gra dually better looking styles have pro* vailed. As a rule the materials cho sen for three-quarter or full length coats are of the rain-proof sort but this now embraces almost anv sub stantial weave of silk or woolen. It is curious to note how the demand for waterproof materials, have been met on all sides. The latest fabric to 'ike it« place in this class is a waterproof mallne known as Malinette. “Malinette” has come just In the nick of time too. for never was there a season when maline was so much in m terlals be silk, wool, cotton or linen, nothing seems so exactly right as the little allk coats that are being exten sively worn. It is a pretty notion, much indulged, to have these little confections accord with the hat and narasol. and to choose them of a color that will go well with one’s various toilets. Black is a good if rather sombre choice, and lingerie trimmings and touches of color can be employed to make it as youthful and cheerful as Is desirable. New Collar Stiffeners. There are brand new collar stiffen ers to be had this season thar. are more satisfactory than anything here tofore made. These come in dainty silk covered loops, elongated, round at either end, and giving a double sup port wherever t ’ey are attached.

Almost every hat has more or less of it, and nearly every modish woman on*> meets is wearing a full wide ruff of malinette—if she is for tunate-hut of maline of some sort anyway. These ruffs are so pretty and becoming that they are irressit- ible to the woman who has a generous dress or ordinary maline is, and that a ruff once flattened and made limp with dampness loses its attraction al together. It is here that th^ new waterproof ‘ malinette’’ gets its in nings, for dampness does not affect it at all, and even the economically in clined can indulge and be happy in the assurance that their newly purchased “fluff" will last a reasonable time.

A® to Humbug Prohibition. (News and Courier.) In a recent letter to the Baptist Press Senator Tillman again spoke of the “humbug of Prohibition that we have.” Is that description correct? VVe have a vivid recollection of the jaonditious in small South Carolina towns, where, by special local option,; prohibition was voted during the \ ‘■80’s, in most of them intoxicants! were sold openly. They were sold impudently, often in grocery stores; and drug stores. No one molested. I Occasional arrests, immediately fol-j lowing tne closing of the bars, re-1 suited in farclal trials and acquit-, tals. with the consequence that the. prohibitionists became discouraged and were glad when tue time came ( again to vote on the question and re store the licensed groggerles. Drinking was not stopped; it was not even checked. Groggeries fere not repressed. The towns were small; and the municipal governments weak. One “town marshal’’ was the average police force and the disorders that grew out ot the W.ir and the Recon struction period had not been settled. The wild rl ler who shot out the street lamps after the manner of the West- | ern cow puncher was not an uncom mon type in South Carolina in those .lays. Undoubtedly, that was “hum bug prohibition.” Have we outlined a picture of the Lancaster, the Marlon, the Gaffney, the Anderson, the Edgefield, the Spar tanburg and the Darlington of today? If a traveller should arrive In one of these towns today, would the casual curb-stone loafer point him to any one of a dozen places where he could buy a drink or a flask without fear and without reproach? That was the old way. Or would he he compelled to whis per a word to a hotel clerk, who would direct him to a back passage, where he would find a negro |>orter who would take his half-dollar and in half an hour return with a half-pint of an Indescribable liquor to he delivered with secret incantations and furtive glances by the frightened and fleeing lackey to the shame-faced and sneak ing purchaser under the stairs? That would not be prohibition; but it would he repression and restriction and it would enormously reduce consump tion. It would be as much as the most sanguine prohibitionist could ration ally hope for. If Senator Tillman can array as evi dence only advertisements to prove ‘ humbug prohibition” he is out of court. Such advertisements have al ways appeared, bidding for the trade of persons who order intoxicants for personal consumption. Nobody expect ed the banishing of dispensaries from Edgefield to destroy Augusta’s Edge- field whiskey trade. Everybody anti- cijiated that many persons who had bought case goods from dispensaries would transfer their orders to the nearest whiskey shop town. But the aim of the dispesary was to make whiskey hard to get. Hence the re strictions upon selling to minors and drunkards, the blanks to be signed and other troublesome details. We fancy that the negro laborer who comes in from the country to Lancas ter village on Saturday afternon has difficulty now in procuring his bottle. The few vilage youths who in Marion, during dispensary times, would invest a quarter or half-dollar to help in “making a night of it,” have probably been seriously inconvenienced since the Brice law election. But if newspaper advertisements are to be the test we would respect* fully refer the Senator to the flies of the Columbia Record of a few years ago, then, as now, the leading daily advocate of the dispensary, and we thfnk he will find buried in them a larger volume of whiskey advertis ing than has appeared during a similar period in any South Carolina news paper. These advertisements gener ally carried the legend: “For sale in all dispensaries.” Free Open-Air Vaudeville- (Edgefield Advertiser.)
