It was ar- ranged later to appoint a joint com- mission to investigate the question. Suddenly Sweden withdrew her com- missioners, declaring the Norwegians were not trying to reach an amicable agreement. “The feeling in Norway is growing intense, though the press treats the matter as lightly as possible.” Commenting on this dispatch, Win- throp Chamberlain, the well. known journalist, who visited Norway and Sweden in 1905, said: “Pasturage rights for the Swedish Lapps in northern Norway have been a source of friction between the two countries for some years. The Lapps are a purely pastoral people, knowing nothing of agriculture. For hundreds of years they have been accustomed to. drive their cattle across the bor- der in summer to pasture. The Nor- wegian lands which they have thus used are quite unoccupied as yet, and are of little or no value to Norway. “Judge George Kronlund of the Swedish riksdag declared in 1905 that to debar, the Lapps from this pastur- age meant starvation and ultimate ex- tinction for them. He was_ instru- mental in securing for his primitive constituents. an. article inthe treaty of Carlstad (by which the crisis was ended and Norway gained her inde- pendence), providing a means of reaching an agreement between the two countries on the question, “It is the negotiations in pursuit of this article that have so suddenly been broken off by Sweden. The Lapps number 30,000 and Occupy a bleak territory of about 17,000 square miles. They are of Mongolian origin and speak a Finnish dialect.” Of course, there is absolutely no likelihood of serious trouble between the sister countries over the question presented above or anything connect- ed with it. It is safe to assume that, when they were able to keep from fighting in 1905, when there was so much to fight about, these enlight- ened nationas will “keep the peace” hereafter. se 8 SWEDEN.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound?” If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in this country where women cannot be found who have been restored to health by this famous old remedy, made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs. During the past 30 years we have published thousands of letters from these grateful women who have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and never in all that time have we published a testimonial without the writer’s special permission. Never have we knowingly published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine. Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts that this is a true and honest statement of a woman’s experi- ence with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound write and ask her. Houston, Texas.—* When I first began taking Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I had been sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia, and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor’s medicines, but nothing did me any good. “For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would never get weil, when I read an adyertisment of Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it. “My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman and enjoy the best of health. “J advise all women suffering from such troubles to give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial. They won't regret it, for it will surely cure you.” — Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks, $19 Cleveland St., Houston.
