The same remedy is within reach of all. Brooklyn, N. Y. — “Prior to taking the first bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham'’s Vegetable Compound I suffered agony every month, but after your wonderful medicine had been taken a while I felt a little better, and after taking seven bot- tles of it I feel that I can truly say 1 have no more pain or inconvenience. ““As I am out in the business world as a stenographer, I come in contact with many girls, and when the opportune mo- ment arrives I tell them about the Veg- etable Compound and I know that quite a few are taking it.”’—HELEN CANET, 556 Dean St. Another Girl’'s Experience. Tishomingo, Okia.—‘‘I am a stenog- capher and book-keeper, and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta- ble Compound has saved my life. Iam enjoying the best of health now,but I was suffering from fe- male troubles and painful periods, and would have backache, headache and fainting spells, If uny woman would like to write to me 1 will gladly answer her letter and tell her what Lydia E.

So he adopt- ed the plan of taking orders direct from customers and filling them di- rect from his own wagons. He pre- pared a circular, telling exactly what he was going to have for sale, with a fixed price on each article. He guaranteed that everything should be fresh and of good quality. He agreed to deliver it, as wanted, on certain days, at each buyer’s door. Then he interviewed 'such consumers as he could reach ,personally, and sent the circulars to others. In this way he worked up a very fair business which, the last I heard of it, was steadiyy increasing. He made no pretense of “peddling.” His customers simply let him know what vegetables or egES or butter or broilers they wanted, and he delivered the goods. He has to have more drivers than he did, but finds that their extra cost isn't so much as he used to pay the railroads and the city carters and the other handlers, while he gets much better prices, and has no goods thrown back on him, with the stale lie about their having “ar- rived in bad condition.” teams ' and Two things are sure: One is that the consumer is having to pay exces- sive prices, these days, for almost everything, and that he is beginning to get ugly about it. So ugly that, if the tendency continues unchecked much longer, “suthin’ 18 goin’ to hap- pen.” The other sure thing is that the producer isn’t getting any ap- preciable portion of the différence be- tween the prices of today and the prices of ten years ago. Ten years ago 1 sold my lambs for six cents a pound, live weight: last summer six cents a pound, live weight, was all I could get for exactly similar lambs. Let the consumer compare what he paid for leg of lamb ten years ago with what he had to pay last fall, and note the difference. Ten years ago I sold all my surplus apples for $1.75 a barrel. Last fall the best offer I could get was $1.50 a barrel. Let the consumer compare the price he paid pver peck or bushel, last winter, with what he was asked ten years ago, and note the difference. Some few things, like hay and po- tatoes, which were unprecedently high winter and spring, the farmers them- selves were offered big prices for. But that was because farmers, as a rule, hadn't any of either to sell. The fact remains that, taking all farm-grown ecrops as they run, and throughout the country as a whole, the producer gets only about forty cents out of every dollar the consu- mer pays. The rest goes to pay for the automoblles and steam vachts and champagne suppers of the grafters in between. Anything which would cut them out would enable the producer and con- sumer to share between them the six- ty cents now lost along the road. The consumer ought to be pleased if he could get for seventy cents that which he now pays a dollar for. And the producer would be tickled half to death if he could get seventy cents where he now gets only forty. Any method by which this mutually desirable consummation can be reach- ed is worth serious thought and sym- pathetic trial. But there's one thing that must be borne in mind: the consumers of farm and garden products vastly outnum- ber the producers. Their interest in the matter is the larger and the near- est to controlling. They have got to meet the producers half way or the two will never get together. The producer can't do it all. No matter what method he may adopt, it is the consumer who will eventually approve | or veto the method. Really, the game Is In his hands and the rules are largely of his making, THE FARMER.

Then the war ships that came to the harbor were frigates and sloops of war such as the Sabine, the Constitution, Constellation, Mace- donian, John Quincy Adams and oth- ers of similar type, for then the steel or even partially armored vessel was new to the harbor. There sure has been big change in warships since the time the fleet of whale ships sailed from New Lond n to be sunk off Charleston harbor in connection with the blockade. There is also a marked change in the general behavior of the men when on shore liberty from the war ships. Then there were drunken street brawls and general misconduct and revelling after the men were ashore long €nough to take a cargo of grog, and there was a side fight between the marine and the sailor on sight. Now the sailor and men as.a whole are remarkably well- behaved and a great improvement over the old-time Jack Ashore. In the civil war time to have a watch of a ship's crew ashore meant a terror to the townspeople who almost knelt in prayer when they were rounded up and Now, as demon- present week, with over five hundred men from the war ships on shore liberty each day, there has not been the slightest disorder and the sallor, the marine, and even the sol- dier and civilian seem to be one great happy family eacl. dolng his best to make it pleasant for the other fellow. As for the townpeople as a whole, there is regret to have the men from the ships leave the city, showing that there has been quite a change between then and now. | In proportion tp the strength of the navy there are probably no more total abstainers now than then, but, there sure is less public drunkenness and consequently less boisterousness and scrapping. That there is considerable booze drinking now is suppored by the statement of several saloonists who declare that the supply of some bf the wet goods was exhausted before the closing time arrived. It has been a big week for nearly all lines of business and made so by the men from the ships. In order to suppress disturbance should any happen to arise among the many sailors ashore, a police patrol or provost guard i{s sent from each ship to keep tab on the liberty men. Unlike the regular police the members of this patrol go about visiting from saloon to saloon and a nod or a wink to a fellow shipmate is as effective in preserving order as the Kknock-out blow of a regular policeman's club. The patrol, with the designating white uni- form, fraternize with the liberty men and the best of order is the result. The sallors tear off many.amusing and harmless stunts and are perhaps given a little more freedom than is per- haps alloted the civilian, still eve body seems satisfled with the condi- tions. There was an amusing and un- usual scene on Bank street when pedestrian traflc was light. Two of the patrolmen and a shipmate on liber- ty were standing near an electric street light when one of the party sug- gested having a shake for a glass of beer. It was agreeable and one of the trio whipped out three large pocket dice. Then the sailors sat on the side- walk tailor-style and shook the dice for the drinks, several rounds, but the patrolmen took but one drink and the balance of what was coming in cigars. Imagine a couple of New London po- licemen in uniform sitting on the side- walk in full uniform and shaking dice for the drinks with a cop off duty, and then the situation will be better ap- preciated. Through the efforts of Congressman Higgins, the naval station on the Thames was wiped from the list from those selected for abandonment.

It may be that this aban- donment of the coaling station and the ultimate dismantling of the operating plant is just a clearing away for a something better, and that after all, in the words of the late John R. Bolles, father of the navy yard on the Thames, “The navy yard at New Lon- don is sure to be the great navy yard of the future.” But that statement was made many years ago, before the station was really established. A boatswain, one experienced and competent, is now commandant of the New London naval station, but his working force is not as large as the station is entitled to by reason of its admirable location and natural advan- tages. At different periods since the establishment of the station it has been devoted to several special fea- turés of the naval department, but just about as they were in smooth working order they were ordered eise- where, perhaps by reason of the lack of social surroundings in the vicinity of the naval station on the Thames. barge and Provided the purchase price is within reason, the park commission- ers will purchase that triangular plot of land bounded by Bank, Hebron and Shaw streets at the junction of Mon- tauk avenue, now a public eye sore, and convert it into a parklet. This property is owned by James O'Neill, the actor, and the only income is from a house in which there is a saloon and a tenement, except the few dollars that is received each year for the small build I s one of New London’s earliest school houses, but which is not large enough to serve as a coal bin for the present school building. Therefore the property is not very productive to its present own- er, who presumably has no intention of making any improvement or even increase the revenue. It is understood that the commissioners are willing to take -the property from Mr. O'Neill and without any loss to him, but is not disposed to pay a fancy price. This pl of land is now a disgrace to the city, but is so located that it can be converted into a veritable beauty spot and a place of rest and recreation as well. Years ago it was given out that Mr. O'Neill was plan- ning to donate the property to the city for park purposes and in return it was to be designated O'Neill park. At that time the actor was in the zenith of his success, considerably younger than he is now and probably imbued with public spirit in keeping with his histrionic and financial suc- cess. There is almost universal hope that the property can be obtained for the city, be converted into a small public park, and thus eliminate one of the sections that Kkeeps New London backward in becoming the City Beautiful. GRAPHICAL WORK IN SCHOOLS. Important Branch of Public Teaching Developed at Danbury School. A feature of last week's work at the summer session at the Danbury Nor- mal school which has attracted most favorable attention, because of its great practical value in many ways to the large class of teachers and super- visors who have taken advantage of it, has been a series of daily lectures dur- ing the week, by Miss Emelene A, Dunn, of New York city, upon practical graphic work in schools, such as me- Ter}ibléfidffering Eczema All Over Baby’s Body. “When my baby was four months old his face broke out with eczema, and at sixteen months of age, his face, hands and arms were in a dreadful state, The eczema spread all over his body.
