Bnvltailon 11 All the world knows of the wonder ful cures whloh hare been made by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, yet some women do not realize that all that is claimed for it is abso lutely true. If all suffering women could be made to believe that Mrs. Pinkham can do all she says she can, their suffering would .be at an end, for they would at once profit by her advice and be cured. There Is no more puzzling thing than that women '-will suffer great pain month after month when every woman knows of some woman whom Mrs. Pinkham has helped, as the letters from grateful women are constantly being published at their own request. The same derangements which make . painful or irregular periods with dull backaches and headaches, and dragging'-down sensations, presently develop into those serious inflamma tions of the feminine organs which completely wreck health. Mrs. Pinkham invites women to write freely and confidentially to her about their health and gst the benefit of her great experience with the suf ferings of women. No living person can advise you so well.- No remedy in the world has the magnificent record of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound for absolute cures of female ills. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass. . Threo Letters from One Woman, Showing how She Sought Mrs. Pinkham's Aid, and was cured of Suppression of the Men ses and Inflammation of the Ovaries.

Causes that Contribute to the Fre- . quencjr of Self- Destruction. r The decay of religious sentiment which Is to be observed in all those countries which are in the foremost rank as regards knowledge, and espe cially the growth of scientific knowl edgehas perhaps conduced more to the spread of suicide than has any oth er single cause. 'That the decadence of orthodox belief is an important factor In the increase- of self-murder is dem onstrated in great cities like Paris, Ber lin and Vienna, 'where agnosticism is rampant and the greatest number of suicides occur. Dr. Ireland traces the greater portion of the causes of suicide to severe strain upon the nervous system which may be the outcome of a multiplicity of causes. Among these causes may be mentioned the increased strain of modern life up on the nervous system. The following are the mean annual rates per 1,000,000 population of some of the European countries: Saxony, 1861-70, suicides. 281; 1871-80, suicides, 325; 1881-84, sui cides, 370; 1885-88. suicides, 33a In Denmark during the same periods, 283, 266, 249, 259. In France, 129, 161, 189, 212.- In Prussia, 127, 153, 198, 204. In Belgium, 61, 81, 107, 116. In Sweden, 80, 86, 96, 110. In England and Wales, 66, 70, 74, 78. In Norway, 82, 70, 68, 66. Italy, 27, 37, 37, 48, 4a It will be ob served that with the exception of Nor way the suicide mortality rate has In creased, -and m most countries very considerably within recent years. The diminution In Norway . is attributed says the Nineteenth Century Review, to the energetic attack which the Nor wegian government has made an alco holism. The same journal says that, id the case of Italy particularly, emigra tion accounts to some extent for the low rate prevailing there. It Is evi dent that emigration provides an outlet for a great deal of misery and const! tutes a hopeful alternative to suicide. The rate of suicide mortality in the United States is one in 35,000. Dr. L). R. Dewey finds that in the New En gland States since 1860 suicide has in creased about 35 per cent In Massa chusetts It has- increased In thirty years, 1860-90, from seventy to ninety to the million living, and in Connect icut from sixty-one to 103 per million, A steady increase of self-destruction Is common to the whole civilized world. Medical Record. Pa's Flopped. When pa come home, the other night, he says to ma and me: "I've went and flopped I've changed my mind and politics, says he; : The men that always votes the way his father used to do Ain't doin' very much to help his trou bled country through; You've got to think of principles and let the rest be dropped It ain't the party's name that counts, and bo I've went and Sopped.

"Foo" la ruled over by an official directly re sponsible to the heads of the provincial government; a "Ting" and a "Chow" are either 1 cities of departments in cluded in a "Foo" or of smaller inde pendent provinces; .

Three Enemies that Attack Them and Spoil Their Beantyt Aph s. Scale and Bed Spiders come Effectual Means for Their Destruction. -- - - The arch enemy of the window gar den is the insect pest. They spoil a plant's good looks and lower its vital ity until it either dies outright or ceases to bloom or make active growth. Prob ably not one woman in twenty takes her plants through a winter without having them attacked sooner or later by insects. nce on the spot and un molested, they Increase like the Hordes of Egypt,, eating the leaves and suck ing the sap until they quite ruin the little garden. The reason Insects are worse on house plants than In the garden Is be cause the first are grown under high ly artificial conditions. Lfving-rooms are unbealthf ully hot; the potted plants are cramped in root and subject to water gorge or thirst starvation if the watering pot is in careless hands. Moreover, the atmosphere is sur charged with dust and coal - smoke. And as insects always attack first weak or dirty foliage there is a special attraction to them in every struggling house plant. " . - The common house Insects are -aphis. or green plant louse, the scale and the red spider. ; The aphis is the most com mon. The usual recommended kero sene emulsion will kill them readily enough, but the trouble is that at the first sprinkle they drop off and fall to the earth. Here they hide, ready as soon as the flurry is over to climb up the stems and go sucking the plant's Juices again. To avoid this lift the plant from the shelf with great care, so as not to jar or dislodge them. Wrap a cloth around the top of the pot and close to the plant's stems, so the earth in the pot can neither tumble out nor the insects tumble In. Then quickly Invert the plant's top Into a pan of water, and If the water is quite warm so much the better. - Lift the plant out and shake vigorously. Dip again In the water, then again -snake and so con tinue until every tiny louse has been dislodged. -Rinse the top well in clean water and return to the window. If thorough job has been done there will be no more trouble, but the plant should be examined again In a couple of-days and. If need be, -the treatment repeated. - scaie insects stick to the bark or leaves as though they were glued there. Dislodge them with a wooden tooth pick, keeping a close lookout for them, and finish by washing the plant well in soapy water. ' This must be repeated every few days until no more scale can be found.. They are not over common, but a peculiarly stubborn pest Red spider Is almost as common as aphis, but so tiny that few know that this is what is the matter with their plants. When without any apparent reason leaves turn a sickly "color or show tittle yellow specks all over them, or begin to curl at the edges, we may suspect Mr. Red Spider, no bigger than a grain of red pepper and camping with his wife and babies, hisparents, grand parents, aunts, uncles and cousins. on the Bunder side of the plant's leaves. Too hot and too dusty air is the cause of the red spider. ' There Is one sure and simple remedy for him and his. It is water... Have It warm and plenty of it, and see that the under side of the leaves get as much wetting as the upper, and this foe Is soon vanquished. A plant can bedipped in water as hot as the hand can be borne in, and It will not hurt It In the least if not kept longer at a time beneath the water than two or three seconds. That degree of heat kills the red spider quickly. Dip palf a dozen times Irr the hot water In quick succession and the work Is done. Wash all plant leaves often. - A clean plant is not inviting to insects. Kill the first foe that makes his appearance and you have solved the secret of keeping house plants free from Insect pests of all kinds. Washington Star. More Saving o.f Waste. A Massachusetts leather man pre dicts an easing down of the price of sole leather very, soon on account of the invention of a down East Yankee. Sole leather grows on beasts in very limited quantities and it is hard to get enough of It The Invention Is to use leather scraps of all sorts for the man ufacture of good, serviceable sole leath er. The scraps are worthless for all practical purposes -and generally- rot in the streets and alleys. But a ma chine has been devised that tears them Into shreds and makes them into pulp. which Is run out under great pressure In continuous sheets of good sole'leath er.
