One of the most exlraordinarv speetueles ever known iu the affairs of-men was the llolliiud-llelpiim frontier ufler the fall of Antwerp.

To meet the perplexing siluulion. the Dutf-ll governliiclil has heen eom pelled to carry to unheard-of lengths the d-ietriue and practice of govern ment ownership.

" Four years ago I wu very ick and my life was nearly spent. 1 ne doctors stated that I would never get well with out an operation and that without il I would not live on year.

I can recommend the Vegetable Com pound to any woman who ia sick and run down as a wonderful strength and health restorer. My husband says I would have been in my grave ere this if it had not been for your Vegetable Compound." Mrs. Blanche Jeffer son, 703 Lyon St, Des Moines, Iowa. .
