ne This woman says Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound saved her life. Read her letter. Mrs. T, C. Willadsen, of Manning, Iowa, writes to Mrs. Pinkham: “T can truly say that Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound saved my life, and 1 cannot express my gratitude to you in words. For years I suffered with the worst forms of female com- plaints, continually doctoring and spending lots of money for medicine without help. I wrote you for advice, followed it as directed, and took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and it has restored me to perfect health. Had it not been for you I should have been in my grave to-day.. I wish every suffering woman would try it.” FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulcera- tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bear- ing-down feeling, flatulency, indiges- tion,dizziness,or nervous prostration. Why don’t you try it? Mrs. Pinkham invites all_ sick women to write her for advice. She has ided thousands to health. ‘Address, Lynn, Mass. i When on Tour.

Havens of Rest in the Down-Town Dis, trict of the Capital Are Greatly Appreciated by Women on Shopping Expeditions. By taking only a few steps which will occupy a couple of minutes, shop- pers of Washington department stores can get away from the rush and hurry of the bargain counters to absolute quiet and solitude. This is made possible by the “open house” maintained throughout the week days by the large churches in the heart of the shopping district of the city. “The church is open for rest and prayer.” This invitation is placed out in front of the Church of the Epiph- any, on G street between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, and the wide- open door under the huge pile of stone which makes up the spire adds hearti- ness to the invitation. In front of the open door during the daylight hours rushes an almost constant stream of humanity, every one on the alert. There are business men who are crowding 20 hours of work into half that time; there are women with bundles. Rush and strenuosity are the chief characteristics outside of that open door. Inside all is different. There is a gentle light in the large structure that neither makes one squint his eyes nor strain them. There is abso- lute quiet, and the calmness which pervades the place has a soothing ef- fect on the nervous person who en- ters. . This is also true of other churches located near the shopping district of St. Patrick’s Church. the city, the largest of which are the First Congregational church and St. Patrick’s Catholic church at Tenth and G streets. At the former a li- brary and reception room is open throughout the day, in charge of a matron. The Catholic church, like practically all structures of that de- nomination, has been kept open for many years during the day and through the evening. It is regarded as important by the pastors of these churches to point out to the many shoppers that these edifices afford places of retirement. Here women can go and mingle some periods of rest with their shopping ex- peditions. While resting in the church they can look over the purchases they have made and can plan where to go and what to buy, when they shall become rested and able to again take up their errands. The pastors of the churches also recommend the use of the open struc- tures by business men and clerks dur- ing the rest hour about noonday. It is pointed out that these men can quickly get away from the active and driving business of the office by spend- ing a few minutes in a quiet pew. A greater use of the church edifices during the week is advocated by the church pastors. Too Much for Her Chief, There is a cabinet officer at Wash- ington who for a long time was great- ly annoyed by the incessant requests for promotion preferred by a young woman in his department who was a friend of his family. One afternoon last winter she en- tered the great man’s office with the usual application. Unfortunately, the head of the department was in any- thing but a good humor that day. So he flared up instantly. “Upon my word,” exclaimed he, “you clerks are the bane of my life! You—” he stopped short, as if re- straining himself. Then he burst out again with: “I wish to goodness you were a man!” The young woman flashed a glance at him from a particularly fine pair of eyes, and as a smile came to her hand- some face she replied: “Mr. Secretary, you are the first man who ever wished that.” This was too much for the chief. She got her promotion.—Sunday Mag: azine. Largest Concrete Bridge. The largest concrete bridge in the world, a huge structure which has attracted world-wide attention among engineers, is just nearing completion at Washington. Connecting Connec- ticut boulevard, one of Washington’s most fashionable drives, over Rock Creek valley, this wonderful bridge is already regarded as a celebrated ex- ample of the utility of concrete. Constructed of molded concrete blocks and monolithic concrete ma- sonry, it is dependent upon itself for support, having no steel framing for reenforcement, says Popular Mechan- ics. At its highest point the bridge is 150 feet above the bed of the ravine, and its total length, with ap- proaches, 1,400 feet. Congress ap- propriated $850,000 for construction of the bridge prover. PERUNA EDITORIAL NO. I. Dr. Hartman is now offering Peruna to the public asa regular pharmaceu- tical product. It is just as ethical as any compound put up for the medical profession. No straining of medical ethics can find any fault with it. THE PRINCIPAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS are prominently incorporated in the label on the bottle, that the people may know that the claims made for Peruna have a true justification. The only departure we shall make from medical ethics in the conduct of Peruna affairs in the future, is the fact that we shall continue to advertise and sell our product TO THE PEOPLE. If we would agree to sell to doctors only, to advertise for doctors only, then the medical fraternity would be obliged to recognize Peruna as being entirely within their approval. BUT WE SHALL NOT DO THIS. ‘We shall continue to offer Peruna to the people. We shall continue to convey to the people our claims for Peruna as a household remedy. We shall continue to supply the people with free literature, teaching them how to use our medicine, teaching them how to avoid disease, teaching them many things of benefit to the home. We shall continue to do this, whether the medical profession like it or not. We are proposing from this time on to take the public into our confidence. Notwithstanding that some imitators and substitutors will be attempting to ut up something which they consider just as good as Peruna, we are going to tae aside the veil of secrecy and allow any one who chooses to know exactly OF WHAT PERUNA IS COMPOSED. This ought to disarm all honest criticism. We expect, however, that crit-- icism will continue. On some pretext or other those who are envious of the success of Peruna will continue to find Who Object to fault. But we are determined to give such people no just complaint. PERUNA IS A GREAT MEDICINE. It has become a household word in millions of homes. Our faith in the | remedy is stronger than ever. Every year we expect to establish new plants in foreign lands until the people of all the world are supplied with this valu- able household remedy. WE CLAIM PERUNA TO BE A CATARRH REMEDY.

We will add no words, take away no words. If you wish us to we will publish your portrait in connection with it. We will not do this without your written request, without your entire consent. Peruna has cured thousands of people of chronic catarrh, in many phases | and locations. At least, that is what the people say to us, through unsolicited testimonials. Peruna will cure many thousand more, in spite of fabricated slanders to the contrary. WE GUARANTEE EVERY BOTTLE OF PERUNA TO CONTAIN THE | INGREDIENTS PRINTED ON THE LABEL. ‘We guarantee that every testimonial we use is absolutely true—in the exact language of the testifier. ‘We guarantee that every photograph published is the photograph of the | person whose name it bears, that every word of every testimonial was author- | ized by the hand that signed it, We are determined to beat our opponents by being fairer than they are, | by dealing squarer than they dare to. We are determined to meet falsehood with truth, duplicity with candor, insincerity with sincerity. ‘We know that the users of Peruna will appreciate our stand. We believe that the dealers in Peruna will applaud our course. We expect even our op- ponents will be obliged to acknowledge finally that Peruna is not only an honest and useful remedy, but one of the GREATEST HOUSEHOLD - CINES ON THE CONTINENT.
