Common
Talk with
Women
If a person is ill and needs a medi
cine is it not wise to get one that has
stood the test of time and has hun
dreds of thousands of cures to its
credit ?
A great many women who are ill try
everything' they hear of in the way of
medicine, and this experimenting' with
unknown drugs is a constant menace
to their already impaired health.
This seems to us very unwise,- for
there are remedies which are no ex
periments and have been known years
and years to be doing only good.
Take for instance Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound ; for thirty
years its record has been one un
broken chain of success. No medicine
for female ills the world has ever
known has such a record for cures.
It seems so strange that some people
will take medicines about which they
really know nothing, some of which
might be, and are, really harmful ;
while on the other hand it is easily
proved that over one million women
have been restored to health by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
papers of the United States more
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever been published in the interest of
any other medicine.
All 'this should, and does, produce a
spirit of confidence in the hearts of
women which is difficult to dislodge,
and when they are asked to take some
thing else they say, " No, we want
Lydia E. Pinknams Vegetable Com
pound, which has been tried, and
never found wanting, whose reliability
Is established far beyond the experi
mental stege."
We have thousands of letters like the
following addressed to Mrs. Pink ham,
showing that
Monthly Suffering Is Al
ways Cured by Lydia Em
Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, also Back
ache and Bearing-down
pains.
"I suffered untold agony every
month and could get no relief until I
tried your medicine; your letter of ad
vice and a few bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound have
made me the happiest woman alive. I
hall bless you as long as I live." Miss
Joie Saul, Dover, Mich.
" Four years ago I had almost given
up hope of ever being well again. I
was afflicted with those dreadful head
ache spells which would sometimes
last three or four days. Also had
backache, bearing-down pains, leucor
rhoea. dizziness, and terrible pains at
monthly periods, confining me to my
bed. After reading so many testi
monials for your medicine, I concluded
to try it. 1 began to pick up after
taking the first bottle, and have con
tinued to gain rapidly, and now feel
like a different woman. I can recom
mend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound in the highest terms to all
tick women." Miss Rosa Heldeh.

Two Letters which Prove
that Lydia Em Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound Will
Remove Tumor and Cure
Other Female Weakness.
" Two years ago I was a great
lufferer from womb trouble and pro
fuse flowing each month, and tumors
would form in the womb. I had four
tumors in two years. I went through
treatment with doctors, but they did
me no good, and I thought 1 would
have to resort to morphine.
" The doctor said that all that could
help me was to have an operation and
have the wo.jb remosed. but I had
heard of Mrs. Pinkhanrs medicine and
decided to try it, and wrote for her
advice, and after taking her Vegetable
Compound the tumors were expelled
and I began to get stronger right
along, and am as well as ever before.
Can truly say that I would never had
fotten well had it not been for Lydia
!. Pinkham's Compound." Mart A.
Stahl. Watsontown, Pa.
" After following the directions
given in your kind letter for the treat
ment of leucorrhea, I can say that I
have been entirely cured by the use
of Lydia E. Pinkham's remedies, and
will gladly recommend them to my
friends." A. B. Davids, Bingham ton,
N. Y.
Another Case of Womb,
Kidney and Bladder
Trouble Cured by Lydia
Em Pinkham's Vegetable
Compoundm
" Dear Friend Two years ago'l had
child-bed fever and womb trouble in
its worst form. For eight months after
birth of babe I was not able to sit up.
Doctors treated me, but with no help.
I had bearing-down pains, burning in
stomach, kidney and bladder trouble
and my back was stiff and sore, the
right ovary was badly affected and
everything I ate distressed me, and
there was a bad discharge.
" I was confined to my bed when I
wrote to you for advice and followed
your directions faithfully, taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, Liver Pills and using the Wash,
and am now able to do the most of my
housework. I believe I should have
died if it had not been for your Com
pound. I hope this letter may be the
result of benefiting some other suffer
ing woman. I recommend your Com
pound to every one." Mrs. Mary

Once, after exposing the ridiculous
blunders of the editor of certain pld
plays, James Russell Lowell concluded
with the remark, "In point of fact, we
must apply to this gentleman the name
of the first King of Sparta." No one
remembered, of course, what this was,
but when they looked it up they found
it was Eudamidas.
As Horace Mane sat In his study one
evening, an insane man rushed into the
room, and; after abusing him for all
kinds of fancied grievances, challenged
him to a fight. Mr. Mann replied: "My
dear fellow, it would give me a great
pleasure to accommodate, but I can't do
it, the odds are so unfair. I am a"Mann
by name and a man by nature two
against one! It would never do to fight."
The Insane man answered: "Come
ahead; I am a man, and a man beside
myself; let us four have a fight"
Prince Bismarck and Bancroft, the
historian, at one time minister to the
court of ' Berlin, were one day dining
with Herr von der Heydt, who prided
himself on the quantity and quality of
I the food which he furnished to his
! guests. In those days (1868) Bismarck
, was still'in possession of his wonderful
! appetite. Bancroft, at first amazed, be
came at last anxious on seeing his
friend twice partake largely of the first
courses. "Dear Count," he remarked
I with a world of anxiety in his voice,
, "I believe there is more to come." "I
should hope so," replied Bismarck, Joy
fully; and renewed his terrifying prac
tice at the next course.
It was once usual for Highland shep
herds to take their dogs into church and
leave them outside the pews. Two
shepherds at enmity sat on opposite
sides of the aisle one Sunday, and,
soon after the sermon began, the dogs
one a collie and the other not seemed
to enter Into their master's quarrel. The
shepherds' egged on their dogs in un
dertones, and soon there was a real
fight in progress. Most of those in the
immediate neighborhood craned their
necks over the pews to see how the en
counter was coming out, and not a few
were standing up. The minister's pa
tience was ultimately exhausted, and so
he called to his "hearers" and said:
"Ah, weel, my britherin, I see ye are
more interested In the dog-fight than In
my sermon, and so I'll close the buike
and I'll bet half a crown on the collie!"
Capt. Hans Miron, who lost his life at
his post of duty on the burning Saale
at Hoboken, a few months ago, was
fond of telling of his early introduction
to the stern realities of his chosen ca
reer. He had but Just come on board
the schooner where, as cabin-boy, he
was to serve his apprenticeship to the
sea, and was still staring about him
with boyish interest and inquisitive
ness, when the skipper approached and
ordered him to assist in washing down
the deck. He put down his bundle and
started awkwardly to do so, when a
second order, acompanied by emphatic
expletives, was given him to take off
his shoes and stockings. He was per
fectly willing to oblige, but at home he
had not been permitted to wet his feet.
"No," he answered Innocently, with an
engaging smile, "I should not mind, but
my mother does not allow it." The
skipper was a rough old sea-dog, who
did not appreciate obedience unless it
was rendered to himself, and his reply
was a stunning blow that flung the boy
across the deck. "But after that,"
Capt. Miron. would say, with a great
laugh and not a shadow of resentment,
"I knew who was captain of that
schooner, and it was not my mother."
TUNING A PIPE ORGAN.. ,
Tt Takes Tw or hree Pays and Ta a
Nerve-Trying- J b.
"The misuse which many pipe organs
suffer Is a wonder to me," said a vet
eran organ tuner and builder. "Church
organs cost from $1,000 to $10,000. They
are very sensitive to changes of tem
perature and yet many are heated and
chilled once a week all winter aud al
lowed to get damp soaked in summer.
The same people who neglect an organ
will take good care of a piano costing
a tenth or twentieth as much.
"An organ is a good deal like a hu
man being when It comes to changes
of the thermometer. Sudden drops put
a man out of tune and it's the same
with the instrument. It needs an even,
moderate temperature during the win
ter instead of a roasting on Sunday
and a freeze the rest of the week. In
summer a stone or brick chuich gets
damp. A slight fire once a week will
keep the organ dry.
"A pipe organ requires tuning at
least once a year and the best instru
ments are looked over two or three
times in that period. It is a two or
three days' Job and needs two men.
: Besides the tuner up in the organ an
assistant must be at the key board to
hold down the keys. Temperature has
ito be considered even In tuning. All
the pipes must be brought to pitch at
i 'about the same degree, and this degree
;should be that which the organ usual
ly has when in use.
I "I believe that pipe organ tuning is
the most nervous work one can tackle.
In fact, after long experience I have
icome to believe that I tune with my
nerves. No, I don't refer to the nerves
I :of hearing. I get my impressions that
1 way, but T tune with my nervous sys
jtem. My assistant strikes the chord.
If it is not true I feel a nervous stress
land strain. As soon as the chord is
'.true my nerves become narmonious,
I too. It sounds funny, but it's so.
"Two or three days may seem like a
Hong time to take to tune an organ, but
, ! when you stop to think of the 1,700
; 'pipes in a large modern Instrument, it
isn't so long. A large organ will have
;a compass of five octaves or sixty -one
'keys. These instruments have twenty
eight registers and a pipe to each key
ana register brings the number to J J08.
Not every key and register has a pipe.
but as some have two it amounts to
i -that. The pipes are of all soits and
'sizes, most of them wood, but many
of metal. A small number of the large
and long wooden pipes never get out
of tune. They are too long. For many
years the fancy pipes at the front of
aa organ were only ornamental, bnt
nowadays these sound as well.
"I find that pipe tuning Is a mystery
to most people. They can understand
how the piano strings are tightened
and loosened. But changes in the pitch
of pipes queer them. It isn't strange
either, for the average organ has five
kinds of tuning. Of course, the pitch
depends on the length of tne pipe. The
pitch may be raised by shortening the
pipe or by stopping the open end. A
number of the wooden pipes are
stopped by wooden slides. Handles
are attached and the pipe is tuned by
moving the slides up or down. Other
woods hare set In the top a piece of
metal which Is rolled or bent oyer par
tially to stop the pipe.
"Ribbon strips are cut In the sides of
the tall metal pipes and rolled down.
These break the column of air and act
the same as cutting off the top of the
pipe. Another kind of pipes, the reeds,
are on a different principle. The length
of the reed controls the pitch. A wire
presses tightly against the reed and is
moved to lengthen or shorten the Vi
brating length." New York Sun.

General Starr Always Glad to
Meet
Young West-Pointer.
A gallant old American soldier who
at one time was well known In Kansas
had many Idiosyncrasies, not the least
of which was an Irrepressible dislike
for young lieutenants when first sent
out from West Point The name of
this old soldier was General Starr, and
at the time of which we write he was
a major in the Sixth United States
Cavalry, though daring the civil war he
had been a brigadier general.
In 1874 General Starr was in com
mand at Fort Riley, and one day an
orderly came to his quarters with the
message that Lieutenant Morrison, Just
from West Point, was at the post ready
to pay his respects and report for duty.
In response to this message the old gen
eral was starting for his office, when
his. wife, a motherly old soul, plucked
him by the sleeve and said: "Now,
general, promise me that you won't be
rough with that young man."
"Rough?" said the old man, smiling
amiably upon his matrimonial compan
ion. "Why I'll be peaches and cream
unless the young dog riles me.'
Reaching his office the general was
confronted with a dapper little fellow,
as spick and span as though he had
Just come from the hands of his barber
and tailor, while he had the half-supercilious
air that seems inseparable
from the first stages of military educa
tion. Looking the young lieutenant over for
half a moment the old general said with
great dignity: "How do you do, Mr.
Morrison? I am pleased to-see you."
Then, as a flush gradually mounted
over his weather-beaten features, he
added: "I am always glad to see you
young men from the military academy.
You you (here the general ended with
a roar) you think yourselves so
smart!" Kansas City Journal
GERMAN MASK INDUSTRY.
How Paper and Ga xe Masks Are Made
and What 1 hey Coot.
Paper masks are made by doubling
one sheet of a specially prepared paper,
wetting it, and molding it by hand over
a face form; it is then dried by artificial
heat and cut oft to form, according to
the Consular Reports. Openings are
cut for eyes, nose and mouth, and it is
painted and decorated by hand as de
sired. The paper used by Sonneberg
manufacturers is made in Oeslau and
Schleuslngen and costs at present about
1.40 marks (33 cnts) per 480 sheets.
One sheet makes three of the common
masks. The painting of cheap masks
costs about 50 pfennigs (12 cents) per
gross; the molding of face costs about
60 pfennigs (14 cents) per gross. Pack
ing is figured at about 3 per cent, as the
masks are rolled in brown paper, the
ends being folded hi to save string.
The expenses are estimated at about
15 per cent, leaving the net profit 20 to
22 per cent, as the complete article sells
at present at about 1.80 marks (42.8
cents) per gross.
Wire masks are made by stamping a
piece of wire netting about one foot
square over a face mold in a large
machine, inclosing the rough wire
edges In a narrow strip of lead and
painting. The latter is done by hand
in oil colors.
Gauze masks are made by molding
over a clay face form a doubled piece
of cheap linen gauze that has previous
ly been soaked In a starchy paste.- The
sticky linen is made to adhere to the
form, and this is set on a stove and
dried for about twenty minutes. The
linen is then taken off and openings cut
for the eyes, mouth and nostrils. It is
painted as desired, and makes one of
the most practical masks known. The
gauze mask is used considerably In the
United States, but the larger portion of
them are made therein by machines
owned by two firms, one in New York
and the other in Findlay, Ohio.

May not be nil that is meant by dyspepsia
now, but it will be if neglected.
The uneasiness after eating, fits of nerv
ous headache, sou mess of the stomach, and
disagreeable belching may not be very bad
now, but they will be if the stomach is suf
fered to grow weaker.
Pyspepgfa is such a miserable disease

KILL THE GERMS!
Spread of Germs Through the Human
System Instantly Checked by
"5 DROPS."
"5 DROPS" is a germ killer; a preventive
of disease; a builder of nerve force; a maker
of pure blood; of healthy tissue. Where it is
used there can be no disease. It is a natural
foe to germ life. Left to themselves, without
adequate measures of prevention, the germs
which enter the weak human system multiply
so rapidly that their numbers become beyond
human comprehension, destroying the struc
tures of the body until death comes to the vic
tim's relief. "6 DROPS," if taken in time,
is an absolute preventive of disease. IT is the
only absolute cure for Rheumatism, driving
out of the system forever the uric acid and
other impuri ttes which cause it in its various
forms. It is taken up at once by the blood.
Hence its Work is quicker, surer and many
times more effective. You should never be
without It. Secure a bottle today. You will
then beon the safe side. "5 nrops" is harm
less and can be used by a child as well as by an
adult. It ia used with unfailing effect In
the following diseases: Itlteu natism,
Sciatica, Backache, Neuralgia. Gout,
Dyspepsia. Asthma, Hay 1 ever. Ca
tarrh, Croup, L.a Grippe, Liver and Kid
ney Troubles, Sleeplessness, Nervous
ness, Nervom and Neuralgic Headaches,
Earache, Toothache, Heart Weakness.

I WAS AT DEATH'S DOOR.
Gentlemen: 1 want to tell you what your
"5 Drops" has done for tne. I was for two
years a sufferer of untold misery. My feet were
swollen so I could not wear shoes and my hands
were drawn so I could not open them, nor
could I shut them. They cramped half shut.
My husband had me try every medicine he
could hear of and I still suffered untold agon
ies. Nothing I could get would ease my pain,
until last November one of my neighbors had
Rheumatism so bad he could not walk. He
told my husband about 5 Drops" curing
blm, so be got me a dollar bottle, and in three
weeks I walked without a cane and could use
my hands, something f had not done for two
years. I give all the praise' Xo "5 Drops."
My neighbors know that I was at death's door.
Now I nave used four bottles of "6 Drops"
and can do my work with ease. I am still tak
ing it sometimes. If this will do any good to
ward getting' suffering people to use '5
Drops," use this as you please. If any one
doubts this, send them to mv friends and
neighbors. ELISABETH C. FINN, 2057 North
