We know of no other medicine which has been so suc-
cessful in relieving the suffering of women or secured so
many genuine testimonials as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
"Vegetable Compound.
In almost every community you will find women who
have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg-
etable Compound. Almost every woman you meet has
either been benefited by it or knows some one who has.
In the Pinkham Laboratory’ at Lynn Mass. are files con-
taining over one million one hundred thousand letters from
women seeking health in which many openly state over
their own signatures that they have regained theft health by
taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
V Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has saved
many women from surgical operations.
f Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is made ex-
clusively from roots and herbs and is perfectly harmless.
» The reason why it is so successful is because it contains
ingredients whicn act directly upon the female organism
•restoring it to healthy and normal activity.
Thousands of unsolicited and genuine testimonials such
as the following prove the efficiency of this simple remedy.
■ Minneapolis Minn.:—“l was a great sufferer from female
troubles which caused a weakness and broken down condition

Vegetable Compound had done for other suffering women I felt
sure it would help me and I must say it did help me wonder-
fully. Within three months I was a perfectly well woman.

Welcome Words to Women
Women who suffer with disorders peculiar to their
sex should write to Dr. Pierce and receive free the
■dvice of a physician of over 40 years’ experience
—a skilled and successful specialist in the diseases
of women. Every letter of this sort has the most
careful consideration and is regarded as sacredly
confidential. Many sensitively modest women write
fiilly to Dr. Pierce what they would shrink from
i telling to their local physician. The local physician
is pretty sure to say that be cannot do anything
without ‘‘an examination.” Dr. Pierce holds that
these distasteful examinations are generally need-
less and that no women except in rare cases should submit to them.
Dr. Pierce's treatment will cure you right in the privacy of
your own home. His ” Favorite Prescription" has cured
hundreds of thousands some of them the worst of cases.
It is the only medicine of its kind that is the product of a regularly graduated
j physician. The only one good enough that its makers dare to print its every
| ingredient on its outside wrapper. There's no secrecy. It will bear examina-
\ tion. No alcohol and no habit-forming drugs are found ip it. Some unscrup-
\ ulous medicine dealers may offer you a substitute. Don't take it. Don’t trifle
’ with your health. Write to W orld’s Dispensary Medical Association Dr. R.
V. Pierce President Buffalo N. Y.—take the advice received and be well.

Will Jericho be rebuilt? They ask
the question in the Holy Land in awe.
The walls of Jericho which fell be-
fore the Israelite forces at the blast
of a ram's horn liter processions of
priests and people marched around
them daily for seven days are being
uncovered by German archeologists.
Joshua the Isrealite leader pro-
nounced a curse on the city after its
fall and invoked the curse of God on
the man who should rebuild it.
Twice has his curse been defied
once in the days of King Ahab and
again under the Herods during the
Roman occupation. But in both cases
destruction followed fast on the heels
of the haunted city.
Since the time of Emperor Vespa-
sian it has lain hidden and forgotten
under a plateau of shifting sand. The
German scientsts under the direction
of Prof. Sellin and Prof. Watzinger
of Berlin are making the third at-
tempt to restore it.
* Gray-bearded rabbis and the wise
men of Isreal watch the progress of
the excavations with interest. The
work is half done. Will the Iznd
allow it to be finished?

First of three Articles on Roosevelt’s Country Commission Message by an
ex-Farmer's Boy—Co-operation.
About the best of his many messages is that recent one by President
Roosevelt transmitting the report of his Commission on Country Life in
which he says that three great general and immediate needs of country life
stand out.
This newspaper has induced Robert Findlay at present a successful man-
ufacturer cf agricultural implements in one of our great cities but who spent
his early years loading hay cradling wheat and oats hauling out fertilizer
and ’tending cows on a farm to discuss these conspicuous needs set forth by
the president.

gravel. On this was built a sloping

An Ideal Cough Medicine.
“As an ideal cough medicine I regard
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in a
class by itself” says Dr. R. A. Wilt-
shire of Gwynneville Ind. "1 take
great pleasure in testifying to the re-
sults of Chamberlain's Cough Medi-
cine. In fact I know of no other prep-
aration that meets so fully the expect-
ations of the most exacting in cases
of croup and coughs of children. As
it contains no opium chloroform or

safe pleasant and efficacious remedy
for the ills it is intended.” For sale

STORM MASKS THE
WOODMEN MEETING
The most stormy scenes in the
history of Woodmen of the World con-
ventions it is said were enacted yes
terday at Houston at the first busi-
ness session of the seventh biennial
head camp convention of the order.
Referring to a circular purported to
have been written and circulated by
James A. Yeager of Waco Sovereign
E. D. Henry of San Antonio branded
certain accusations in the circular as
false
Mr. Yeager claimed the floor and
declared that every statement in the
circular was true and pointedly criti-
cised Sovereign Adviser W. A. Frazer.
He declared that he wrote the speech
that was delivered before the conven-
tion by Congressman Sheppard.
Mr. Frazer and Congressman Shep-
pard denounced the speaker the latter
declaring that Yeager merely gave
him some data for his speech.
In the competitive drills the Farm-
ersville team captured the first prize
0f.5550. The second prize of $250
was won by the Rockwall team and
the third prize of $lOO by the Big
Springs team. The Mineral Wells
team was barred because the ritual of
the head camp was used instead of
the rank ritual. A parade of 16 floats
was a feature last night.
Tlds morning at 10 o'clock the
Houston head eamp was formally
opened with a joint meeting with the
Woodmen Circle. O. S. Latimore head
consul of jurisdiction “C ’ presided.
An address of welcome was delivered
by Mayor Rice of Houston.
