ee You won’t tell your family doctor the whole story about your private ess— you are too modest. You need not be afraid to tell Mrs. Pink- ham, at Lynn, Mass., the things you could not explain to the doctor. Your letter will be held in the strictest con- fidence. From her vast correspond- ence with sick women during the past thirty years she may have paie the very knowledge that will elp your case. Such letters as the fol- lowing, from_grateful women, es- tablish beyond a doubt the powerot LYDIA E. PINKHAM’S VEGETABLE COMPOUND to conquer all female diseases. Mrs. Norman R. Barndt, of Allen- town, Pa., writes: “Ever since I was sixteen years of age I had suffered from an organic de- rangement and female weakness; in consequence I had dreadful headaches and was extremely nervous. My physi- cian said I must go through an opera- tion to get well. A friend told me about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and I took it and wrote you for advice, following your directions carefully, and thanks to you I am to- day a well woman, and I am telling all my friends of my experience.” FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Soeeon made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ae and has positively cured thousands o! ‘women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulcera- tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities, riodic pains, backache, that bear- ing-down feeling, flatulency, indiges- tion, dizziness,ornervous prostration. HE DEFENDS TIPPING. “Somehow I don’t approve these wholesale kicks on the tipping sys- tem,” said a business man who is fair- ly prosperous. “I was a waiter myself once and know how it seems from the other side. “Oh, no, I wasn’t a regular profes- sional, merely one of the college brand. Many college men, of course, help themselves through college by working as waiters and bellboys and boatmen and other things at summer resorts, and if they are squeamish about taking tips, why it isn’t worth while taking such jobs. “It came hard at first to take tips; gave me a sort of a feeling that I was unclassing myself. But it wore off. In fact there was a certain amount of satisfaction, after awhile, in getting a tip that had been earned by giving more careful service than the job real- ly demanded. I remember now the pleasure it gave me to receive a gratuity and the ‘thank you’ was al- ways meant. . “So now when life lies in less ardu- ous places I find pleasure in giving a tip. I do not regard it as an over- charge or an extortion, merely a little reward that I can well afford to give to one who will appreciate it. “If more persons would only look on that side of the question, the pleas- ure that a gratuity gives the recipient, I am sure there would be less kick- ing. Surely there is joy in kindness; at least I have found it so.” ‘AFRAID TO EAT. Girl Starving on III-Selected Food. “Several years ago I was actually starving,” writes a Me. girl, “yet dared not eat for fear of the consequences. “I had suffered from indigestion from overwork, irregular meals and improper food, until at last my stom- ach became so weak I could eat scarcely any food without great dis- tress. “Many kinds of food were tried, all with the same discouraging effects. I steadily lost health and strength until I was but a wreck of my former self. “Having heard of Grape-Nuts and its great merits, I purchased a pack- age, but with little hope that it would help me—I was so discouraged. “T found it not only appetizing but that I could eat it as I liked and that it satisfied the craving for food with- out causing distress, and if I may use the expression, ‘it filled the bill’ “For months Grape-Nuts was my principal article of diet. I felt from the very first that I had found the right way to health and happiness, and my anticipations were fully re- alized. “With its continued use I regained my usual health and strength. To-day I am well and can eat anything I like, yet Grape-Nuts food forms a part of my bill of fare.” “There’s a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Afer a session lasting for 223 days, the storthing adjourned the latter part of last month. eae The lumber industry in Trysil is profitable to say the least. No less than 480,000 crowns were realized in profits during the fiscal year ending with the first of this month. se 8 A large stretch of low, wet land in Opdal, Numedal, is to be drained and thus reclaimed for agricultural pur- poses, at least for the growing of hay. An engineer is now at work survey- ing ditches. s 28 ¢ If this commission succeeds in work- ing out an arbitration plan that will be adopted by the storthing, and which proves effective, they will have rendered their country a service that cannot be overestimated. ee - There is an epidemic of small pox in Christiania, as a result of which the public schools have been closed, but as the disease appears in a very mild form, no deaths have so far oc- curred, The disease was brouglit from Russia in an infected vessel. 2 16s Queen Alexandra and Princess Vic- toria, of England, arrived at Chris- tiania for a visit with the royal family, and were joined 4 few days later by the empress dowager of Russia, who will make quite an extended stay in Norway, during which time she will make a tour of the fjords. nce om Dr. Axel Johannesen, professor of medicine in the University of Chris- tiania, has received from Kaiser Wil- helm the Prussian royal order of: the second class, in recognition of his ser- vices to medical science. Prof. Jo- hannesen excels both in practical and theoretical medical science. ee 8 Two districts of Norway, Fauske and Saltdalen, have got into a bitter controversy over a strip of land lying between the two. Both claim it and both insist on having it, for it has great value, a copper mine being lo- cated upon it. The taxes from the disputed tract amount to 60,000 crowns yearly. eee Before its adjournment the storth- ing appointed a new commission to prepare a new church edifice for Nor- way. Many prominent men are on the commission, among them being Prof. Lyder Brun, Amtmand Berge, Principal Steilen, Mr. Grimse, an agri- culturalist, Dr. Eriksen, Bank Director Stousland and Mr. Findring. Other members will be appointed by the king. On account of the difficulties that have prevailed in the church, a great responsibility will rest upon this commission. eee The minister of justice has appoint- ed a commission to work out a plan of compulsory arbitration in labor dis- putes, and at the same time deal with the right of organization. As I have stated repeatedly, Norway has of late been cursed by all sorts of strikes and boycotts, and a demand for com- pulsory arbitration to adjust the dif- ferences of labor and capital has arisen. One of the members of the commission, which was appointed in accordance with a royal decree, is Dr. Einar Einarson, formerly a professor in the University of Copenhagen. see SWEDEN. The National Anti-Tuberculosis so- ciety has awarded the nurses, Hulda Johanson and Ida Karlsson of Stock- holm, honorary pensions for their studies of the care of tuberculosis. Two other awards of this nature ‘are to be made this month, and there are several candidates for the honor. see The Railway, Men’s Temperance union has authorized the issuing of 200,000 mercy and help stamps, to be sold at the price of a postage stamp to railway men, the revenue thus ob- tained to be used in the furtherance of temperance among railway em- ployes. The postal authorities have granted permission to use them on let- ters going through the mails. ees In March, 1907, announcements were made of a prize contest for sugges- tions for a new catechism, which should be more satisfactory for use in parochig@l schools than the present one. This contest has been recently closed, and a total of forty-one manu- scripts have been received. The manuscripts are passed upon by a committee consisting of Bishop Ek- lund, Rector Danielsson and Miss Dan- ielsson. The catechism accepted by this committee will be referred to the king for final improvement. eee The Turk successor of Gen. Cheriff Pascha at the Swedish court, Assim Bey, has arrived at Stockholm. He is a comparatively young diplomat and has been secretary of the legation at Belgrade, secretary of embassy at Ber- in and ambassador at Vienna. see Up to date a total of 22,000 crowns has been collected for the proposed statue of Karl X. Gustaf, which is to be erected in Stockholm. It is esti- mated that the statue will cost 100,- 000 crowns, and the gathering of funds is progressing satisfactorily. It is officially reported that the English minister to Sweden, Sir J. Rennell Rodd, has been appointed minister to Rome, and is succeeded by the English minister at Teheran, Sir C. A. Spring-Rice. Sir Rennell Rodd leaves a vacancy in the diplo- matic corps at Stockholm that will be hard to fill again. The cultured and refined man took a great deal of inter- est in the Swedish. people, their coun- try and customs, and learned their lan- guage. Sir Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice descended from an old English family and was born in 1859. He made Mis first diplomatic achievements at Washington, Tokio, Berlin and Con- stantinople. In 1900 he was appoint- ed charge d’affairs at Teheran, and in 1903 first secretary of embassy at St. Petersburg. ee 8 Two thousand miles of mountains, a pass 90,000 feet high and a lake of singular beauty, are the discoveries of Sven Hedin in traversing Thibet. He thinks it sounds strange when one considers how thoroughly the world has been explored, that at this late day it should be possible for any of? practically to discover a range of mountains 2,000 miles long. Such a discovery, he says, cannot be made again, for there now is no unexplored space on the globe big enough to con- tain another such mountain chain. Dr. Hedin names the range after {ts highest peak, Uin Chen Tangla. He went down and camped by the holy lake Manasawar, the most early and most famous of all the lakes in the world, the goal of thousands of Hindu pilgrims, a lake which has been cele- brated in religious hymns since the time of the Vedas. “I was often near weeping for joy,” says he, “at the sight of this wonderful landscape of surpassing grandeur, and I cherish a secret hope to be able some day to de- | scribe it in words for others, to be able in my significance to utter a | feeble and faltering word of praise to | the Almighty. I have no words to | describe it—to my dying day I never shall forget it. Shut in between two of the greatest mountains in the world, Kailas in the north and Gurla Manohata in the south, stretches the holy lake, almost round in form, and nearly twenty-five kilometers in di- ameter.” Dr. Hedin’s forthcoming book, giving in detail his recent dis- coveries, will be awaited with inter: est. DENMARK, Not for years has there been such a sensation in the government circles of Denmark as that caused by the confession of P. A. Alberti, former minister of justice, that he is guilty of stupendous frauds. As has been in- | timated in these columns, Mr. Alberti has been under suspicion and sharp criticism for several months past, but the public was not prepared for the sensational dis¢losures made by the discredited minister about a week ago. The Associated Press gives the fol- lowing account of the affair: “The accused minister resigned in July, but the king did not lose his faith in him, conferring upon him the title of “excellency” for life. Public opinion quieted down, and he succeed- ed in obtaining several honorable of- ficial positions. Recently a govern- ment inspector, while examining the Danish Farmers’ bank, of which Al- berti was president, found a document showing deposits of about 10,000,000 kroner $1,700,000) in a Copenhagen private bank. The account was writ- ten on stamped paper belonging to the private bank and was signed by the presidents of the two banks. The in- spector went to Alberti’s office and asked for an explanation. “Well,” Alberti answered, after a moment’s reflection, “the explanation is that [ made this false document to cover forgery and fraud committed by me. I will naw give myself up to the police.” He did so at once. The impression made upon the people was painful. The newspapers, call it a national dis- aster, because it destroys foreign con- fidence in the honesty of Danish eco- nomic life. All parties, except that representing the government, say Pre- mier Christensen, who took the re- sponsibility of appointing must resign, and that a new cabinet must be formed to restore confidence.” Since the beginning of his confine- ment, Mr. Alberti’s health has been rapidly declining, and he may never live to be duly punished for his crimes. “It is reported in a later dispatch that King Frederick is a loser to t8e extent of $400,000 on account of his confidence in his former minister's honesty. Needless to say, his majesty is deeply affected by Alberti’s crime, his confidence in him having been so unswerving. es ee Gustav Wied, the Danish playwright, has made such a hit in Germany with a recent play that he has made con- tracts with German managers to pro- duce six of his dramas during the coming season. A very active woman is Mrs. Oda Nielsen, the noted Danish singer, who is sailing for Iceland to give a series of concerts. From Aug. 25, 1907, to July 1, 1908, she appeared on the stage 340 times. bs Alberti, | has been 7 ONE KIDNEY GONE But Cured After Doctors Said There Was No Hope. Sylvanus. 0.

In supplying that demand with its ex- cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and | Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remark- able success, That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed.

A Tarkington Epigram. “Booth Tarkington, at a theatrical supper, spoke rather well,” said a Playwright, “on marriage. One re- mark in his speech struck me particu- | larly by its epigrammatic truth.

The disease was so bad on my hands that I could lay a slate-pencil in one of the cracks and a rule placed across the hand would not touch the pencil. I kept using remedy after remedy, and while some gave partial relief, none relieved as much as did the first box of Cuti- cura Ointment. I made a purchase of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and my hands were perfectly cured after two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura Soap were used. W. H.

The “Dutch Boy Paint- er” trade mark of the National Lead Company, the largest makers of gen- uine white lead, on a package of White Lead, is a positive guarantee of purity and quality.
