After Years of Experience, Advises Women in J Regard to Their Health. Mrs. Martha Pohlman of 55 Chester Avenue, Newark, N. J., who is a graduate Nurse feom the Blockley Training School, at Philadelphia, and for six years Chief Clinic Nurse at the Philadelphia Hospital, writes the letter printed below. She has the advantage of personal experience, besides her professional educatioa, and what she thas to say may be absolutely relied upon. Many other women are afflicted asshe was. They can regain health in the same way. Itis prudent to heed such advice from such a source. Mrs, Pohlman writes: “‘T am firmly persuaded, after eight years of experience with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Negrtenis Compound, that it is the safest and best medicine for any suffering woman to use. “Immediately after my marriage 1 found that my health began to failme. I be- came weak and pale, with se- vere bearing-down pains, fear- Shi: haceaches qnd frequent dizzy spells. The doctors pre- scribed for me, yet I did not improve. oe would bloat after eating an juently become nauseated. Tad aa acrid disc! om could ery down through my limbs so ardly walk. It was as bad a case of female trouble as I have ever known. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, however, cured me within four months. Since thet time I have had occasion to recommend it to a number of patients suffering from all forms of female difficulties, and I find that while it is considered unprofessional to rec- ommend a patent medicine, I can honestly recommend Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com; ind, for I have found that it cures female ills, where all other medicine fails. is a grand medicine for sick women.” Money cannot buy such testimony as this—merit alone can produce such re- sults, and the ablest specialists now agree that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound is the most univer- sally successful remedy for all female diseases known to medicine. When women are troubled with ir- regular, suppressed or painful men- struation, weakness, leucorrhcea, dis- placement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflamma- tion of the ovaries, backache. bloat- ing (or flatulence), general debility, in- digestion, and nervons prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizzi- Lydia E.

Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound at once removes such troubles. No other female medicine in the | world has received such widespread | and unqualified endorsement. No other female troubles. The needless suffering of women from diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible to see. The money which they pay to doctors who do not help them is an enormous waste. The pain is cured and the money is saved by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Ex- perience has proved this. It is well for women who are i}l to write Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. In her great experience, which covers many years, she has probably had to deal with dozens of cases just like yours. Her advice is free. and confi- \ dential.

Some enthusiastic ladies made a tour of a Northern manufacturing town in order to persuade the women- | folk to attend a meeting in favor of} female suffrage, but met with a some-| | what discouraging reception. “Female suffrage indeed!” snorted | one strong-minded old lady to whom they appealed. “As if we poor women didn’t suffer enough already! You won't catch me votin’ for any such daft thing.

A feature of British stock breeding operations, which has been of untold value to her people, is the well-defined aim or purpose which every successful breeder has in mind at all times. These men are not breeding at random with the hope of getting an occasional good animal. Each successful man has a very clear idea of the type of animal which he wishes to produce. and he never stops short of getting the same. Even when he has reached his original ideal he is not satisfied, but seeks to do even better work in the future, By a large and successful breeder of live stock, the British peo- ple do not mean a man who owns 3 large number of animals, but the man who succeeds in annually producing 4 high percentage of meritorious ani- mals, On many of the most highly successful stock farms in Great Bri tain, the breeding females in the herd do not number more than thirty. These men have learned that a me- dium-sized ‘herd of high-class animals } is much more remunerative than 4 large number of mediocre quality. It is not policy to breed from several families, of various types, with the hope of pleasing the buyer. These people aim rather to breed one, oF possibly two, types or families, and to have them of such high excellence as to attract the buyers. On every hand there is to be seen unmistakable evi- dence of breeding being conducted along definite lines, for the set pur- pose of producing a desired type of animal. It bas been through the per- sistency of this work that the major- ity of men have reaped success in their breeding operations. W. J. Kennedy. Profit and Loss on Steers. At the Ontario Agricultural College the long-keep steers have always pro- duced cheaper gains than the short- keep steers. It is impossible, however, to produce a pound of gain in live weight at the price per pound for which live animals are sold. There is, therefore, a loss on every pound of increase which a steer makes, and the more pounds of increase which he is required to make before he is fit for market, the greater the loss will be. Thus a steer which requires to gain only two hundred pounds before he is fit for market, will give a smaller loss than the steer which requires to gain three hundred pounds before he is finished. It is true, as mentioned be- fore, that the long-keep steer can be made, with careful feeding, to produce a pound of gain at a less cost than the short-keep steer; but this difference in favor of the long-keep steer is not suf- ficient to counterbalance the disadvan- | tage in having to put on a greater number of pounds. The only chance of profit that the feeder has is in making the carcass which he pur- chased worth so much more per pound than he paid for it that it will wipe out the loss incurred in producing the gain in weight. This being the case it follows that a person can afford to pay more per pound for a fleshy steer which can be finished in a short time than for a thin steer which requires to make a larger gain, and consequently calls for a longer period of feeding. Stock Farm Enrivonment. A man commencing business as a stock grower should consider his enyir- onments. Is his farm best suited to the production of horses, cattle, sheep or swine, and if so, what breeds are likely to give the best results? He can only know this by making a care- ful study of conditions. In Britain we find that the environments have been carefully studied and breeds developed that are best suited to the districts. The British farmer is farming to make money and not to satisty a whim. He has chosen females bred in the dist- trict that are best suited to the re- quirements of his soil and markets, and has carefully improved these by selection and the use of the proper sort of males. For this reason we find in Shropshire only Shropshire sheep. In the north of England and the south of Scotland the Leicester families pre- vail. Further up in the hill country we find the Cheviots, and again in the higher and more barren hill country we find the Highland or Black Faced sheep. In other parts, particularly to- wards the southwest of England, we find the various classes of Downs, and so on, each breed having through suc- cessive ages proved best suited to its listrict—F. W. Hodson. The Steer Wanted, Twenty years ago the 1,800 to 2,200 brought the highest price in the market and captured the first prizes at the fat stock show, where now the tidy, well-rounded, plump, even-fieshed steer, weighing twelve to fourteen hundred pounds, is the kind that commands first prizes, while the nine to twelve hundred yearling is a close second. Those that can afford it want nice tender juicy meats, not the hard, tallowy kind, the result of long feeding —A Cattle Raiser. Colts at Weaning Time. Weaning time is a critical riod in the life of the colt, a Wisconsin _ horse-raiser. Put a halter on it and tie it beside its mother at night, letting it run with her in the day time for a few days, then wean it altogether, but do not keep it pe- says |tied in the stable all of the time, give it a box stall, or a yard, or better, © pasture with some other colts, year- lings or two-year-olds that it is ac-, quainted with, and it will grow rizht alovg. In a certain county court a short time ago, an action was raised for the ayment of a sum of $125, the pur- chase price of a picture. The defend- ant refused payment on the ground that the picture was practically worth- Jess, and paid $10 into court as its ap- proximate value. nesses called for the complainant was the artist who had painted the canvas, and he was subjected to a very severe cross-examination. “Do you really mean to say,” asked the defendant’s counsel, pointing to the canvas, which was prominently dis- played in court, “that there is the least trace of artistic merit about that daub?” “Yes, that is my opinion,” was the quiet answer. “And you consider that you could convince a skeptic as to its beauty?” “Well, I might be able to do that.” “Do you fancy that you could make me—and I know something of art— see its merits?” “Not now, perhaps; but a month ago I could have done so easily.” “Perhaps you will explain what you mean, sir,” and the tone of the learned gentleman was supercilious in the ex- treme. “Certainly. Had my lawyers retained you in this case you would have rep- resented that ‘daub,’ as you call it, in the most glowing colors.” The shot told, and there was a ver- dict for the complainant for the amount claimed. A Fine Variety. “I was eating my supper the other evening in a iittle Kentucky hotel,” said A. B. Conway, at the Willard ho- tel last night, “when a neatly dressed country girl, who was waiting on the table, came up and asked if I would have dessert. I inquired what kind of dessert she had, and she replied: “We have pie.’ ““You may bring me a piece of pie,’ I said, and she inquired: “What kind do you want?’ ““What kinds have you?’ “‘We have three kinds—open top, eross-barred and kivered, but they are all apple, she said, apparently very proud of having so wide a variety for me to select from.” In Vaudeville. yesterday,” sationalist to his obese partner. “You don’t say so.

This year, through the ad- vice of a friend, | have tried Peruna and it has given satisfaction. “I advise ail athletes who are about to go in training to try a bot- tle, for it certainly gets the system in good shape.’’ Yours truly, JOHN W.

The digestion must be good, the cir- culation perfect, sleep regular and enough of it. If the slightest catarrhal condition of lungs or stomach is allowed to remain, neither digestion nor sleep will be strength-sustaining. Those who lead very active lives, like athletes, with good muscular de velopment, find the spring months especially trying. Athletes everywhere praise Peruna because they, of all men, appreciate the value of a tonic that dispels phys- ical depression. The vocation of some men may allow them to endure the depressing feelings incident to spring weather, but the athlete must never allow himself to get “under the weather.’’ He must keep in the ‘“‘pink of condi- tion” all the time. In order to do this he must avail him- self of a spring tonic upon which he can rely. Therefore athletes are especially | friendly toward Peruana. Peruna never fails them. What is Castoria. | easiness is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric, Drops and Soothing Syrups. It is pleasant. It contains neither Opium, Morphine nor other Narcotic substance. Its age is its guarantee. It destroys Worms and allays Feverishness. It cures Diarrhea and Wind Colic. It relieves Teething Troubles, cures Constipation and Flatulency. It assimilates the Food, regulates the Stomach and Bowels, giving healthy and natural sleep.
