I r. m faryrite R_yg n jfAargret AlerA/e^ When a physician tells a woman, suf- ferinjr from female trouble, that an operation is necessary it, of course, frightens her. The very thought of the operating 1 table unci the knife strikes terror to her heart. As one woman expressed it, when told b\ 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 just such 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 15. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound after the doctors had said an operation must be per formed. Fn fact, np 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 15. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound, have escaped serious operations. Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of St. Andrew's Society, Indianapolis, Ind., writes of her cure as follows: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “ I cannot find words to express my thanks Lydia E. Pink ham's \ oge table for the good Lydia E. Pinkham s voget Compound did me. The do*'tor said 1 could not get well unless 1 had an operation for the trouble from which I suffered. 1 knew I could not stand the strain of an oj»eration and made up my mind I would be an invalid for Ufe. ip H earing how Lydia E. Pinkham’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 thank fulness.” Miss Margr t Merkley, of 275 3d Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “Loss of strength, extreme nervousness, severe shooting pains through the pelvic organs, cramps, bearing-down pains, and an irritable dis)>osition compelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after making an examination, said that I had a serious female trouble 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 for me.” Serious feminine troubles are steadi ly on the increase among women—and before submitting to an operation every woman should try Lydia E. Pinkhatn's Vegetable Compound, and write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass, for advice. For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has been curing the worst forms of female complaints, all functional troubles, inflammation, ulceration, falling and displacement, weakness, irregularities, indigestion and nervous prostration. Any woman who could read the many grateful letters on file in Mrs. Pinkham’s oflice would be convinced of the eflieiency of her advice and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Ask Mrs. Pinkham’s Advice—A Woman Best Understands a Woman's Ills. ' 1 ! 1 — — —— . .. MEET ¥OUa FRIENDS The State Fair Oct. 22 to 2/71906 Finest Programme Ever Arranged.

Flarlv on a certain morning many years ago the warden of a peniten tiary. an elderly, gray-bearded man, wag at work at his desk. On a sud den he heard a panther-like tread in the room, and he divined a presence behind him that would have made a less fearless man faint away. The presence was that of one Pat rick Burns, a desperado, who was do ing life service for murder. This man held an uglv looking dirk in his hand. The warden knew he was alone with the most dangerous prisoner in the penitentiary. Pretending ignorance of Burns’ proximity, the warden went on with his writing as if the criminal were not In existence. But his brain, re mote from the paper that lay on the desk before him. was calculating with ; the swiftness and the accuracy pucu- ! liar to brains when the owners of ) them are in danger of their lives. First of all. the warden wondered how Burns had managed to slip past the guards, and how he had come in to possession of the long, ugly dirk. Then he reflected that the murderer had grown gray in the prison that he knew all the ins and outs of it. and that he had been studying nighjs and davq^ years after year, how he could accomplish this very feat. In a little drawer just over the war den’s grav head, in easy roach of his hand, his revolver was locked. To secure it would mean his salvation, to be seen making the attempt would "ost him his life. There were four or five guards in range of his voice but had he spoken above a whisper to summons one of them the dirk would have severed him from existence. He wrote on. as if undisturbed his heart thumping, his hand steady. 'Mr. Warden, it’s me that's here,” said Burns, finally, ‘‘and it’s mighty cool you are about it.” “I know you are there,” replied the warden, coolly. “Why did you come?” “I come because l am tired of this. I ain’t going to stand it no longer.” “You’re not?” “No; I’m not. I’ve been in here 20 ars and that's enough for any man. I’d rather be dead than stay longer. I've had enough. I'm going to kill you and get out.’* “How long did you say you’d been here?” "Twenty years." The man's eyes blinked. “It’s a cool way you have of facing death, Mr. Warden. But I’ve had enough of this. I’m going to leave this hell hole. I don’t know that I’ve got anything ag’in von par- icularly, but I’m going to get qut. do you hear?” , He raised the dirk. "What do you mean by getting out, Burns? Don’t you know that you couldn’t get a yard beyond the wall before the sentinels filled you full of bullets?” The warden, sparring for time, turned his keen gray eyes toward the little drawer that held his revolver. ’Til take chances. It’s enough I’ve had of it. and I'm going to run chances and get out of here, alive or dead.” "Well. I wouldn’t get excited about this. Burns; let’s talk it ov6r coolly.” "I don’t want to talk it over.” “Don’t you think you’re foolish, Burns?" You've been serving a long time, your conduct has been good., and I was just thinking of asking the pardon board to consider your case.” "Well, Mr. Warden. I—” Burns faced the barrel of a revolver aimed by the surest of hands. The warden was on his feet. "If you move that knife an inch to the right or the left you drop. Now turn and march to your cell.’’ • “I ain’t going hack. I said I was goln’ to get out of here, alive or dead, and l‘m going to keep my word.” ‘Til have to shoot, then.” “Ymi kin shoot ” He watched the warden unflinchingly, the knife tight ened in his grasp. He was waiting a propitious second to drive is blade home. "You’re a fool. Burns,” said the warden, “to ruin your chances of a pardon.” “Do you promise me a pardon if—” “I don’t promise anything. I simp ly sa*- that if you go back and behave yourself I'll see what can be done.” The prisoner reflected a second. “But I said I was goln' to do this and it’s naggin' me to death they will be If l come back*. I ,don’t want th“m to know I lost my nerve." “Go back. Burns; nobody but you and me will know ibout it." “Very well, then.” He droned ills iirk on the floor and marched off the wav he ha i come Schnapps Tobacco Is Hade ENTIRELY from Floe Cored Tobacco Grown in the Piedmont Country. The Imitation Brands Have Schnapps Quality Only On the Outside Of the Plug Hundreds of imitation brands are on sale that look like Schnapps to bacco. The outside of the imitation plugs of tobacco is flue cured the same as Schnapps, but the inside is filled with cheap, flimsy, heavily sweetened air cured tobacco. One chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger longer than two chews of such to bacco. The color, size and shape of the tags, plugs and packages of certain imitation brands of tobacco have been made so much like Schnapps that they have often been accepted by buyers under the belief that they were getting Schnapps. Sufficient proof has been secured to establish the fact that certain brands are infringements and in vio lation of the trade mark laws, yet the trade will continue to be imposed upon by these infringers until the suit already entered and now pending to protect Schnapps is decided. A great many of these imitations are claimed to be “just as good” as Schnapps, but there is only one gen uine Schnapps. Be sure the letters on the tag, and stamped on the plug under the tag spell S-C-H-N-A-P-P-S and then you have it—the most wholesome tobacco produced, with just enough sweetening to preserve the mild, juicy, stimulating quality of the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove that this flue cured tobacco, grown in the famous Piedmont region, re quires and takes less sweetening than any other and has a wholesome, stimulating, satisfying effect on chewers. If the tobacco you are chewing don’t satisfy you more than the mere habit of expectorating, stop fooling yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco. Schnapps is like the tobacco chewers formerly bought costing from 75c. to $1.00 per pound; Schnapps is sold at 50c. per pound, in 5c. cuts, strictly 10c. and 15c. plugs. R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Winston-Salem, N. C. Must Certainly be Dead. McGinnis was a man of somewhat hasty temper. A long siege of sick ness had made him exceedingly irri table. and taking care of and waiting on him had proved a great trial to Mrs. McG., under which she hail* borne up with commendable patience and fortitude, never complaining, no matter in what form her husband’s crankiness manifested itself, accord Ing to Harper’s Weekly. One clay, when the doctor called as usual, he cheerfully remarked: "Well, Mrs. McGinnis, how is our patient getting along this morning?" "Sure, doctor, ye’re too late,” she moaned, disconsolately. 'Ms nfter bein’ dead he is, I’m thinkin.’ ” "Why, it can’t he possible your hus band has dropped off like that!” ex claimed the doctor, in tones of sur prise. “He was worth a dozen dead men when I saw him last. You cer tainly must have made a mistake, Mrs. McGinnis. Are you positive that he is really dead?” "Well, doctor.” said Mrs. McG., choking back her sobs “if the poor mon Isn’t dead he has all the syjnp- toms of It I win’t into the room just now, an’ he didn’t find fault n’r Crow annything at me.” AN EDIKAIION Beautiful and Instructive Exhibits AT HIE SI ATE FAIR Appreciates the Editor.
