I had severe backache, bearing-down pains, pams across the abdomen, was very nervous and irritable, and this trouble grew worse each month. The physician prescribed lor me, but I soon discovered that he was unable to help me, and I then decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and soon found that it was doing me good. My appetite was returning, the pains disappear­ ing, and the general benefits were well marked. “You cannot realize how pleased I was, and after taking the medi­ cine for only three months.

The edict of the Dressmakers’ Con­ vention that a woman must* once more assume the distortion of the “Grecian Bend” is not an unmlxed evil. The fad we all laughed at thirty years ago was merely a good Idea gone wrong In exaggeration. Thq common fault in the careless attitude both of men and women, especially those of middle age, is the “swayhack slouch.” The frightful example of this offense stands Ine­ lastic on his heels, with his stomach protruding and his chin drooping lazily upon his battened chest. The enlightened, passing him with a shud­ der, declare that our men are “not well set* up.” 3 lie re is a suspicion that wi men would more often fall under the same-criticism but for the kindlier concealment of their draper 'e*. A Greek statue, or a statue of any age representing streoglb or grace, is pois«d lightly up >n the ball of the foot, the chest expanded, the head erect, the hips wtll drawn back. Thi* is the direct, the seemly, the hygienic pose which the dancing niist>r, the drill sergeant and the gymnasium instructor all hold up, with slight m idltication*, for imita­ tion. The distorted “Grecian Bend” is not further from the ideal In one direction than the “swayback slouch” is in the otber^^and perhaps a few m >nths’ cult of the “bend” by life­ long de-olees of the “slouch” will help them to appreciate and to culti­ vate the golden mean. The Dime-Novel Boy. Mount Lelianon, N. J., has had ex- peiience of a “boV terror.” He is In jiil now, but there was much diffi­ culty and some danger in getting him there. The pri-onor is a lusty little brute, abounding In courage and with no more morals than a wildcat He had attacked a number of girls and women, always in a manner in itself craven, but when a posse got after him he kept them at bay for hours with a gun, as they did not wish to kill him. Later the “terror” was captured while asleep, an Impulse to lynch him was overru'ed and he was taken to prison in irons. Here is the ideal dime-novel hero, doubtless evolved from bisown mind, sustained ard influenced by sensation­ al books. He probably fancies that lame is his. He will be graduated from a reformatory to a prison, per­ haps from a prison to the sombre dig­ nity of "murderers’ row." This Is the career he has mapped out for himself. To follow it is one of the penalties for being a dime­ novel hero. And It is cne that other half-l>aked desperadoes may well pon­ der. They Have Appealed.

It has been a revelation to me to learn how thor­ oughly these breeders of corn have studied and developed this grain. They , ■re after an ear of corn that is so form- ed that It contains a high percentage of grain that is rich In protein, high in vitality and very prolific.
