Burlington, Wis.—“I was very irreg-
ular, and had pains in my aide and back,
but after taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Com-
pound Tablets and
using two bottles of
the Sanative Wash
I am fully convinced
that I am entirely
cured of these trou-
ble*. and feel better
ail over. I know
your remedies have
done me worlds of
good and I hope every suffering woman
will give them a trial.”—Mrs. Anna
Kelly, 710 Chestnut Street, Burling-
ton, Wis.
The many convincing testimonial* con-
stantly published in the newspaper*
ought to bo proof enough to women who
suffer from those distressing ills pecu-
liar to their sex that Lydia E.Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is the medicine
they need.
This good old root and herb remedy
has proved unequalled for those dread-
ful ills; it contains what is needed to
restore woman’s health and strength.
If there 1h any peculiarity in
your case requiring special ad-
vice, write the Lydia E. Pink-
lmm Medicine Co. (confidential),
Lynn, Mass., for free advice.

The walls of In>|ierial' Rome were
about ten miles 111 length and were
catered by thirteen - gates. These
walls were 55 feet high on the outside
protected by many towers. The anci-
ent city walls took In the seven hills:
Ctfldtolimis, I’m lit inns, (sell nils, Vlnl-
imlis, (jiiirinalK Ksquiliutm, wbile

and some territory on the right bank
»er»* added.
Now h line of detached forts thirty
mites in clrmiaferenee defend the
city. ' The Tilter is muddy, and Is
practlndly a great sewer for the city.
Tlie chief ancient city quarts were
uot inhabited during the middle ages.
There Is now hut little building going
on.
We left our room on tho VI* Fa-
vour, walked down towards the Fnriliii
Romanum. On the left *ve turned to
view thee church, SI. Marla Mag-
glare. This is one of eighty churches
in Rome dedicated to the Virgin
Mary. The statue of Moses In St.
Peters' is so real you can see the
velim in the neck and arms and al-
most see tlie blood come and go. Ill
a church near by we saw tlie stairs
said to he the same ones that Christ
walked up In Jerusalem when taken
liefore Pilate. A woman, well deemed
and with ap|a*aranee of lielng wdll
educated, was going up these stairs on
her kiie,*s. Those stairs were so worn
that some wissleu slabs bad to bo
laid on (lie marble to preserve them.
We continued down to the Old Cap-
ital llllls. There the old arches, old
broken columns. |tarts of foundations,
walks and Inscriptions of Ancient
Home made yon feel yon were tro»-
Imssing on sacred historical grounds.
Then* Is the Arch of Titus, columns
of the old lemides. marble and
granite scattered alosg tin* ways;
then near the Coliseum stands the
Andi uf Constantine witli the laitlu
inscriptions narrating his victories,
there Is tlie old mile |s*st marking
th e<-enter of Rome to which all roads
led.
Tlie Colosseum was finished hy
Titus In A. I). so. It was originally
the Amphltheatrum Flavian hue be-
cause of tlie <*olossal statue of Nero
It has since the eight century been
called by its present nann*. Tlie ex-
ternal circumference wits nearly one
third of a mile. It was 150 feet high
and had scats for 87,000 siiectntors.
The old shafts where tlie elevators
brought lip the animals to fight
among themselves or with gladiators
are still seen. The arena is there
sttli to fcive evbletn-e In fhvor ot the
historical |Mst.
Then we strolled through the Pal-
ais* of the CaeMra. I town in tie*
“fjoldin House of Nero" we enter his
dining room. The floor As paveil with
marble. the walla are ceiled with
marble alalia allowed t« lutvr been
iHiintisi ami carved Wllh the dalntlc t
handiwork. Then out by the site of
the Cl mis Maximus we puss the
liatks of Caracalla and the gate by
the walls out to the Applan Way.
This ancient, road b* narrow but
straight as an arrow as far - an eye
could see. There we saw the rules
*<f four nquldncta that formerly list
water to (lie city. The |dain Is <*ov-
eved with grass, sorui* <»f the stnldde
flebis show Johnson grass grosrhig.
Tlier. we came liack up th»> left
bank of the Tlls*r. We pa a* ih<*
noted sewer Cloaca Maxima whb-h to
us looked choked. Imt a modern one
i-lose hy Is draining the city from
that quarter.
N|»n*e forldds telling much abmit
«o ninny historic place*, so the hare
mentioning of them must satisfy.
There is the |ia1a<-es of the Caesars,
remains of the walls of Romulus.
Circus of Hohiltlaii. theatre of Mar-
cellos and triumphal arch of Xcptim-
ins Kerverus, the forums of N,*rv».

port foiimleil hy Trajan Is now two
miles from the sea.
We nre sadly impressed with the
selfishness of the a orient builders of
Rome. Every temple., monument or
structure erected are for the |Hin*>*e
of perfN*tuating some great person or
family. No schools, sanitariums,
asylums, or charitable institutions ap-
pear anywhere. For pomp ami glory
they were built and to dust they are
crumbling.
In all our sight-seeing we saw no
ancient nude female picture or status
These Itching to our nasiern vulgar
age .The* ancients teach us a lesson w-*
could well follow. If ancient history
Is* true, tlien surely we are at onr
zenith in our civilization. These two
years of turmoil and strife have not
brought forth it single ninn able to
reive the problems of the age. Selfish-
ness and demogoguery will not solve
onr problems anil steer the Ship of
State aright.

TN OUR great-great-grandfathers* time many
New England families had a cask of rum
in Jie cellar.
It was freely offered to guests (except chil-
dren) and freely partaken of, even as coffee is
today.
This old-time custom gradually passed out
of existence, for our forefathers recognized it
was harmful.
Another old-time^ custom—coffee drinking
——is slowly passing in the same fashion and for
the same reason.
The abandonment of coffee drinking is made
easy nowadays by the use of Instant Postum, the .
pure cereal beverage with the coffee-like taste.
Unlike ^coffee, this purely American tabic
drink contains
substance.
no “caffeine’* or other harmful
,
Postum is now* used daily in tens of thou-
sands of the best of American homes where rea-
son rules and health is valued.

A Pineapple Hint—When cutting
pineapple much of the good fruit ad-
heres to tho stalk and is wasted. So
after removing outer rind do not cut
in slices, as usual, but hold th* pine-
apple by the top and shred the fruit
away from the stalk. Very little is
wasted in this way, and leas sugar is
required to sweeten.

gloves and white crepe de chine waists

After washing and rinsing and squeez-
ing (not wringing) crepe de chine
should be rolled In a Turkish towel for

Drinking W.ter With
Meals Aids Digestion
A torpid Hver reduces your efficien-
cy; a alow working liver make* a
alow working mind. Coated tongue,
muddy complexion, biliousness and
constipation nil point to hii inactive
liver. Po-Do-Lax la Nature's remedy

stimulating the action of the liver.
That chronic druggy, grouchy feeling
will give place to the lively step, cheery

Dottle at your nearest druggist, 25c.

Occasionally one hears conflicting as-
sertions In regard to the wholesome-
ness of tho practice of drinking water
at meal time, these assertions being
often based upon hearsay or unfound-
ed impressions, says Inga M. K. Alli-
son of Colorado Agricultural college.
Somewhat recent physiological studies
indicate that, while the drinking of
water with meats has no apparent ef-
fect upon the utilization of the fats,
sugars and starches, Its copious use
does result In the better digestion and
absorption of the ingested protein, that
tissue building constituent which Is
tbevmost abundant of the solids In
lean meat, eggs and cheese aud that
constituent which also characterizes
certain other foods.
The conclusion to be arrived at, then,
is that the nse of water as a beverage
with meals is a desirable practice. It
may be added that drinking generous
quantities of water during, the course
of the day Is an important health
measure in the upkeep of the general
health of the body.
An unfortunate eating habit la that
of depending upon water aa an aid
to swallowing food. If one has not
learned to thoroughly masticate food,
swallowing It without the aid of a
beverage, then it would seem wise to
subscribe to the creed of the “dry
eaters.”

Yon Yonson, a citizen of a Wisconsin

night \Just before closing time. Yon

“I’ve no place to

the storekeeper.
“You mooat!

“Crawl into that gunny sack, then."
He was no more than hidden when
in ran the sheriff.
“Seen Yon?” he questioned.
“Don’t see him here,” repHed th*
other truthfully.
But the sheriff wasn't satisfied, and
be went nosing around. Soon he spot-
ted the gunny sack.
“What’s in here?”
“Oh, Just some old harness and
sleigh bells.”
The sheriff gave the aack an awful
kick.
