ri PSEC LN STE OE EES OHS When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain remedy had cured numerous cases of female ills, wouldn't any sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would also benefit her if suffering with the same trouble ? Here are two letters which prove the efficiency of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Red Banks, Miss. —“ Words are inadequate to express what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound bas done for me, I suffered from a female disease and weakness which the doc- tors said was caused by a fibroid tumor, and I commenced to think there was no help for me. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound made me a well woman after all other means had failed. My friends are all asking what has helped me so much, and I gladly recommend Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound.”—Mrs, Willie Edwards. Hampstead, Maryland.—“ Before taking Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound I was weak and nervous, and could not be on my feet half a day without suffering. The doctors told me [ never would be well without an operation, but Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done more for me than all the doctors, and [ hope this valuable medicine may come into the hands of many more suffering women.” — Mrs, Joseph H, Dandy.

What, more proof can any For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for No sick woman does justice to herself who will not try this famous medicine. from roots and herbs, and has thousands of cures to its credit.

Nevada Investigates New Plan} For Streets. The Nevada Post says thatseveral elty officials of that place went to Kansas City to Inspect the olled as- phalt roads in that city and in Jack- 800 county. The Standard Oil Co., furnished two large automobiles for the com- mittee to ride in while inspecting the roads. A drive was first taken over the roads sprinkled with ofl. The automubile made no dust whatever @t aspeed of 25 miles an hour. A block of ground that had been treat- ed with asphalt ofl four years ago was driven over. It was as hard and compact as an asphalt street. The Standard Oil experts stated to the committee that no work had been done on this block of ground since it was treated with the asphalt oll except that {¢ was rolled occa- slonally to keep it in shape. In the centre of the road where the travel is done {t was found to bein perfect condition. On the sides where travel was not so heavy theroad was not in as good condition. The more a road of this kind is traveled, the bet- ter {6 becomes. On this block of ground hundreds of heavily laden wagons and trucks pass daily and do not injure the road a particle: These kinds of roads are built in the following way. The road ts plowed up to a depth of6 or 8 inches, then the dirt is pulverized. A sprink- jer similar to the one used on the streets of this city {6 filled with the asphalt ofl, warmed before it 1s tak- enout of the tank cars and then sprinkled over the pulverized dirt. About three gallons is used to the . equare yard. After the sprinkling of the ofl over the streets, a heavy roll- er like the one now used by the city {s rolled over the newly made street. Traffic fe prohibited for 48 hours and then the street can be used for an indefinite number of years with- out ever getting in bad condition. Water runs off a street treated with this process like water off a duck’s back. The streets from time to time will have to be rolled to keep them from getting grooves worn where the vehicles travel. them again and the street is not fn jured in the least. At a meeting of the clty council, this committee will recommend that the streets of Nevada be treated in this manner provided the citizens or property owners -will consent to have tax bills issued. A motion will be made at thecoun- cll to experiment on 8. Aah Street. The cost of this kind of a street 30 feet wide for a lot of 80 feet will not exceed $60, As the property owner on each elde pays half it would cost each owner $30. The material used does not exceed $13, the blance is tor labor. West Cherry street, South Cedar street and North Washington street can be made much harder and more compact than the other streets of the city for the reason that they have been graveled and the asphalt ofl when §mixed with the dirt and gravel makes it as hard as concrete butat thesame timelt will be as elastic as an asphalt street. I¢ {a the intention of the Standard Ol Co., to ofl the road leading to the government rifle range, near Nassua to Nevada free provided the farmers slong this road will raise $200 to pay for the working of the road. Missouri Lsads—Let Others Fol- low. Cornin Missour!. The great Amer- {can cereal, the world’s greatest grain crop, the cap sheaf of Missou- ri’a superb agricultural wealth, ie corn—Indian corn. This great crop, cultivated by the Indians before the discovery of America, and now 4 commercial crop of Europe, Africa, Australia and all America, is a great- er source of wealth, directly and in- directly, than any other crop produc- ed on our farms. The world pro- duces annually 3,840,000,000 busb- els of corn. The United States pro- duces 2,575,000,000 bushels, or more than three-fourths of the entire crop of the world.

A RISE IN | VALUES |}, | terlogged wreck at night, which some jother ship has safely passed by day- It brought back | held rushed in his hand | vividly to his mind a picture of long | ago—the lonely country lane, the rus- | tie figure of that sweetheart of old, | the girl to whom he had scarcely given | a thought for years. Now a guilty feeling came over him as he thought of the promises made, of the good-by | Castleton her invitation kiss, of the correspondence that fol- lowed and then died a flickering death, Poor little thing! And she must have been waiting for him all these years, And he—he had come to the city, and in the mad rush to make his own way had buried her memory. Now, out of the past, came this in- renew the friendship of the past. Poor little .girl! She had been mourning for him all these years, and guilty wretch that he was, he had been the means of making miserable a life all too restricted, anyway, on } account of its environment, Dea, dear! It was all too bad! But | now the chivalric thing to do was. to make some amends, even if they neces schoolmates did not appeal to his mu- nicipal sensibilities, But the girl, Certainly after all her heart soothed, He looked up the time table, found the train left in two hours, and then sent a telegram, thing to do, People in remote country districts were not used to such things lt would doubtless frighten her, but it was too late to remedy that, | He gathered in a box of candy on his way uptown and a bunch of violets. Certainly no two things were calcu }lated to go any straighter to heart of the demure little country lass whom he could now see in his mind's eye standing wistfully in the gateway as he waved to her down the road. As the train moved into the sta tion and slowed down he jumped off; fairly bewildered, The old station had been torn down, The smart looking affair in its place seemed almost an anomaly on the landscape. But he had no time to think, “Hello, Jack! Awfully good of you to come. Jump right in. You're a dear thing.” The girl who squeezed his hand so frankly, and, indeed, so athletically— could it be she? It did not seem pos- sible! Before he knew it she had tossed belongings, and they were off down the road at 30 miles an hour, “Nellie, is it yours?” he claimed. “Sure!- But say, Jack, why didn’t you telephone instead of wiring? You know I have a long-distance right in my room. Dear me, it would have saved nearly two hours, and I can tell you I've had to scurry around to get some decent people in to dinner. But, they are coming, although some have 40 miles to come. Here we are! Old homestead rather decent place since it was made over, eh? By the way, did you bring a Wall street edition with you? I've been so busy—all due to you—that I haven't even had time to ask about the market. Candy! And flowers! Oh, thanks—” tossing them on the table. “Lovely of you, but why didn’t you get Maillard’s? Never mind, Sit down and have a smoke. If you don’t like these cigarettes I have an- other assortment in the other room.” Before he knew it she had dragged him into the modern looking country house and deposited him in a chair, “Will you excuse me a few min- utes?” she called, half-way out of the room. “I want to wigwag a neigh- bor.” But he ran after her and held her back, “Good heavens, Nellie,” he gasped, “what is the meaning of all this? Why didn’t you let me know? I've been thinking of you all these years as a demure little country girl with a broken heart. Am I in a dream? Everything has changed. Can this be really you? What has happened?” “Nothing but a real estate boom, my dear. I've been so busy giving week-ends and going to Europe and playing bridge and motoring that really I—will you forgive me?—I act- ually haven’t had time to call you up.” He gave one fleeting, bewildering gaze at the smart establishment, at the charming glint of landscape through the window, flanked by the box hedge, and then came swiftly back to the girl. “But, Nellie,” he protested, “you might have taken the time — you might have sent for me long before this, even for old time’s sake.” And she smiled back. “Perhaps I should, Jack, old boy, but you know I was afraid that some of the old-time love might come back to me, and if it did—well, I wanted to have a bit of a fling first, for you know, old chap, that you people from the city are sometimes — awfully slow!” ex- him into her motor car, with all his | } avoid it.

She went to all of her married sisters, One, who used to be a belle, had three children, did all her own work, and hadn't been to the theater or out riding since she was married, Another, whose husband was a promising young man at the time she was married, was supporting him, A third didn't dare say her life was her own when her husband was around, and a fourth was divorced. After vis- iting them and hearing their woes the heroine of this little tale went home, got pen, ink and paper and wrote an answer to the young’man. You may think it was refusing him, but it wasn't. She said she could be ready in a month, American engineering genius has scored another triumph. St, Vincent, a British West Indian island, has been devastated frequently by hurricanes | perity for the islanders, | practical American ability add to the and by the eruption of the big volcano Soufriere. One result has been” to affect the distribution of water so se- riously that agricultural pursuits, upon which the people depend, have’ become almost impossible.

It was like the action of the well-bred dog in the play who walked with dig- nity downstairs whenever he saw prep- arations being made for throwing him into the street. Now, it appears, the throne will be vacant, anyhow, and Probably hawked around among the royal families of Europe as a not over- productive national asset. Vera Cruz reports that her harbor has been injured by the recent earth- quakes, which seem to have lifted the bottom. Ships that were formerly able to. steam in safety to the costly new docks at that port now touch bot- tom when drawing 24 feet of water. It is fortunate for Vera Cruz that the seis- mic disturbance didn’t lift things far- ther and form an island in the harbor, and thus seal up the port permanently. Island painting is a new industry in Florida. The high price of land along the west coast was raised, so the en- | terprising citizen there started to raise islands to match the real estate prices. Nature must be getting astonished at the way she is being shoved out of human way as entirely too slow for modern business methods.

When asked what were the duties of the president of the United States he replied, “To superin- tend congress.” The provision of the anti-liquor bill ananimously passed by the Utah sen- ate that liquor must not be sold to «nyone who has been drunk within six months may do something toward in- creasing the sale of pocket calendars in Utah. It is unfair to judge the tropics by the nearest samples. Mixed blood, the effects of long centuries of slavery, and other conditions, have prevented the West Indies from having a decent shance. If cold storage eggs are so superior, why don’t the dealers then insist upon using the cold-storage brand, so that none need make the mistake of buying eggs fresh from the farm?

The elty clerks and various farming !n- terests furnish the estimates as to the number of men which must be imported to care for the harvest They furnish the number of men now {n the county and those without em- ployment and those who may leave their present employment to go to the fields. Generally {t requiresfrom 20,000 to 30,000 men {fn addition to thoee already in the state to handle theharvest.

Waverly, Tenn., May.—Fourteen men charged with being night riders, sentenced to 10 days iu jail anda fine of $500 each, are jubilant over their light punishment for the whip- ping of J. M. Reece. Judge Cook’s charge embraced the Ku Klux law, which carries capital punishment or life imprisonment on conviction; the whitecap law, carry- ing imprieonment in the penitentiary forcertain periods, and misdemeanor statutes, with jail imprisonment aud fines, : The indictment on which they were charged was: Going masked through towns and villages with unlawful purpose in view; going in disguise upon the premises of others, with in- tention to do harm; assault witha deadly weapon, while wearing a dia- guise, and assault and battery while masked. CEMENT, PLASTER, BUILDING MATERIAL Portland Cement is made in so many diffeent ways and by so many different firms—some reliable, some not—that it takes an experienced buyer to detect the good from the bad. Of course after you use it and it har been in your building, sidewalk or foundation a few years you can tell whether you bought the wrong cement or not. But do you want to wait until you have built your house to find out if the cement that went in your foun- dation was good or bad? WE THINK YOU DO NOT. So we have an experienced buyer who devotes devotes all of his time in buying our CEMENT and BUILDING MATERIAL. He buys the BEST material on the market, Cement that shows the most strenght and lasting qualities and will therefore stand the test of time.
