LIVES A GIRL
Who Suffered As Many Girl*

Found Relief.
Sterling, Conn.—“I am a girl of 22
years and I used to faint away every
month and was very
weak. I was also
bothered a lot with
female weakness. I
read your little book
* Wisdom for Wo-
men,* and I saw h|ow

helped by Lydia EL

of all these troubles. I hope all young
girls will get relief as I have. I never
felt better in my life. ”-^tiss Bertha A.

dia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
and I highly recommend it. If anyone
wants to write to me I will gladly tell
her about my case. I was certainly in
a bad condition as my blood waa all turn-
ing to water. I had pimples on my face
and a bad color, and for five years I had
been troubled with suppression. The
doctors Called it ‘Anemia and Exhaus-
tion,’ and said I waa all run down, but
Lydia EL Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound brought me out all right.”—Miss
Lavtsa Myres, Boy 74, Massena, N.Y.
Young Girls, Heed This Advice.
Girls who are troubled with painful or
irregular periods, backache, headache,
dragging-down sensations, fainting
■pells or indigestion, should immediately
seek restoration to health by taking Ly-
dia EL Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
Found Hs Waa Mistaken.
A man from the country, In charity
one will say from the country, although
he may have been a Bostonese, en-
tered a New York restaurant the other
evening, and while waiting to be
served, gave his attention to an elec-
tric fan revolving just above his head.
It was a high pressure fan. noiseless,
and almost. If not quite, invisible be-
cause of its rapid motion. The stran-
ger gaaed at it for some considerable
time and was heard to mutter: “I don’t
believe there is anything there at alL"
With that he put up his hand to con-
firm his belief. Immediately there was
a yeQ that almost throw the place into
a panto. The man sprang into the air,
rushed out of the door and, as he dis-
appeared, was heard to say: *1 mon-
keyed with the buzz-saw, all right.”
DIDN'T APPRECIATE THE JOKE
Girl Made Victim of Hoax oy Mis-
chievous Friends Went Home
in a Fury.
One day* several of my girl friends
called to see me. We started to make
some candy when I discovered that
we didn’t bars any chocolate In- the
house and said that I couldn’t possibly
make it without “a speck of choco-
late.”
Mary, one of the girls said: “Why
what kind of chocolate is that t
couldn’t you use any other kind?”
One of the girls gave me a -punch
and I said: "Oh, no, I couldn’t use any
other kind. It’s just a new kind. You
telephone the grocery and order some,
Maiy, and we’ll start the candy. Now
be sure and order ‘Aspecka.’”
So we filed to the kitchen and left
Mary to telephone. We sat In the
kitchen holding our sides with sup-
pressed laughter while she called up
one store after another trying to get
"Aspecka chocolate.” She finally gave
up to despair and then we told her.
Needless to say, she went home in a
fury, as mad as a wet hen. She bare-
ly spoke to us for weeks after that.—

“Some time ago my head became cov-
ered with small sores which they said
waa eczema. They were rod and in-
flamed and when I would comb my

Birthplace of ^roleeart and Watteau.
Both Valenciennes and M&lines, two
of the latest towns to come into
prominence in the western theater of
war, have now little association with
the production of lace beyond giving
their names to the famous varieties.
At Valenciennes, indeed, the manufac-
ture has been discontinued, but the
place has an alternate tome as the
birthplace of Froissart, the historian
(nearly six centuries ago) and of Wat-
teau, the artist (230 years ago.)
' How Europeans Get Our Gold.
Do you know just how Europe re-
cently got that $125,000,000 in Amer-
ican gold. Well, here is the way it
was done: Europeans hold great
amounts in American securities, which
is to say they have bought bonds is-
sued in this country. When the war
crisis came they saw the need of ac-
tual money in place of these bonds.
They cabled to their American bro-
kers to sell at the market price. They
took whatever they could get but
there waa always something offered,
so the sales were heavy.
The purchasers of these bonds gave
their checks. These the brokers
cashed at their banks and got curren-
cy. This currency of the United
States is made good by the deposit
of geld in the treasuries. For every
gold certificate in existence there is
the actual metal in the treasury. So
the brokers, getting the currency from
the banks, went to the sub-treasury in
New York and asked for the actual
gold. They received it and sent the
gold to their customers abroad.
Strong Man's Weakness.
Speaking of“great feats of strength
Franklin H. Lane, secretary of the in-
terior, recalled an incident that hap-
pened in a western state.
One afternoon an elderly wojnan
visited the penitentiary, and on paus-
ing before a certain cell waa told that
the inmate had been imprisoned for
stealing a piano.
T am very sorry to see yon here,
remarked the woman turning to the
oonvict “la it “true that you stole a
piano?” wr
“Yea, ma’am.” waa the fnpk admis-
sion of the convict Then he added:
*1 did it in a moment of weakness.”
“In a moment of weakness!” gasped
the elderly visitor. "Mercy mel I
presume that had yon had your usual
strength you would have walked away
with the whole house!”

PICKED OUT THE RIGHT TIME
Schoolboy a Good Deal More Thought-

A popular member of a certain
school board tells a good story of a
certain schoolboy who enjoys the
unique distinction of having attended
one school for 11 years without being
once absent or late. In evidence of
this, the youth Is the proud owner of

was conferred the boy’s mother was
asked whether her son ever had any
illness.
"Oh, yes,” she replied.
"Measles?”
"Yes.”
"Whooping cough?”
"fee.”
"How is it, then, that he has been
able to make so remarkable a record

"Well, he generally had ’em in
his holidays,” was the proud mother’s
interesting reply. ,
