OPERATIONS FOR
FEMALE TROUBLES
Some Are Necessary, Some Are Not
These Women Gave Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg
etable Compound a Trial First
Fairv|ew,S. Dakota.—“A vear ago I
was sick in bed for three weeks and the
doctor said I would not be any better
without an operation. I had bearing
down pains and sick headaches, with
pains in the back of my neck. I felt
tired all the time, down-hearted, and
got poor and pale and was scarcely
able to do anything at all for some
time before I took to my bed. The
doctor said one of mv organs was out
of place and caused all my troubles.
I was too weak and run-down to think
of an operation and as one of my
neighbors told me about Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, I
began taking it. I have received
great relief from it and recommend
It very highly. It cannot be praised
too much in cases of female weak
ness.” Mrs. 0. M. Ring, Box 106,

Croatia srtc/ h
Its People
Croatian Men in Native Costume.
(Prepared by the National Geographle So
ciety. Washington. D. C.)
Croatia is about to become an active
partner in the Kingdom of the Serbs,
Croats and Slovenes, after being a
silent partner for nearly four years.
The Croats were not at all pleased
with the dominance of the Serbs in
the new kingdom, and since the adop
tion of the constitution In June, 1921,
96 Croatian members of the national
parliament—nearly a quarter of its
membership—have abstained from
taking their seats. Their decision to
sit now, however, does not mean that
they are any more pleased with the
situation, but that, according to one
of their spokesmen, they are going
to use their votes to help the opposi
tion. They have been spurred to this
decision by the treaty between Italy
and Yugo-Slavla turning Flume over
to Italy and smaller near-by ports to
Yugo-Slavla. Fiume was originally
Croatian, and against the wishes of
the Croats was carved out by Hungary
as a royal town. After the World
war Croatia hoped to see its ancient
possession returned but D’Annunzio
and diplomacy have thwarted these
hopes.
Croatia has a coast line of nearly
100 miles on the bays and channels
of the northeastern Adriatic from
Flume southeastward, and extends in
land toward the Save and the Drave
rivers about the same distance. The
Croatians are the most western of
the Southern Slavs both in location
and in culture, for they were per
mitted to develop under their Austro-
Hungafian overlordship while the lots
of. their fellow Slavs were cast in
a promising environment.
Croats are by no means unknown to
America. Before the World war the
emigration stream from Croatia
flowed from Fiume and Trieste as
constantly as the - water trickles
through and under the limestone
plateau of the Karst region, a note
worthy physical feature of Croatia.
Development Is Lacking.
Though “Croatia and Slavonia” is
rich in agricultural land, has vine
yards, pastures and forests, lack of
capital has handicapped commerce
and Industry. Indeed its southwest,
rich in forests and grazing land and
accessible to the sea, Is accounted one
of the least developed regions, eco
nomically, in Europe. The chilling
blasts of the bora have something
to do with the sparse population and
backwardness of this region.
Wlhe is cheaper than water in some
sections. A curious by-product of the
vineyards is the “grape cure” at Zom
bor, a sanitarium where the chief
prescription is a stipulated ration of
the variety of grapes held to be bene
ficial for the ailment under treatment.
Croatia’s chief city, center of her
politics and culture, Is Zagreb, former
ly known better by Its German name,
Agram. It sits in the lap of the Cro
atian hills and looks off across a fer
tile plain. The city Is divided Into
three parts, one of which contains the
palace of the banus, who under the
rule of Austria-Hungary was the local
administrator, and is reached by a
funicular railway or by winding
streets from the lower town.
Up from the railway station, al
most to the main square of the city,
there runs a fine mall, In the midst
of whose lawns there ore various fine
public buildings, and a little to the
left, as one looks toward the hills be
hind the city, there are the beauti
ful grounds and buildings of the Uni
versity of Zagreb, jvhich is unsur-.
passed in all Yugo-S4avia.
Market Day In Zagreb.
Except on market day this great
square is a drab, uninteresting place.
Early In the morning on the days of
the market long lines of tables are
placed on the cobbles until they reach
to the very tables of the coffee houses
alqng the southern side, nnd the coun
try roads are alive with attractive flg
nres, clothed In their holiday beat, en
route to the market.
The waists and skirts of the women
are of white, with much red embroid
ery up and do»vn the front, around the
waist and across the apron. Stout
white hose with roll tops and ribbon
garters till in the space between the
knee-length skirts and the moccasin
like slippers of soft leather. Around
the head is worn the Slavic shawl,
that form of self-beautification which
reduces the high cheek-bones of the
Slav to a pleasing oval that would
honor a Madonna of ftalv.
The women are both venders and
shoppers. But many a sturdy wife Is
assisted by the presence of her pic
turesque man, whose costume is just
as colorful as her own. His rather full
white trousers are worn loose or
strapped in at the bottom with the
thongs which secure the sandals, and
his heavily embroidered shirt hangs
down outside to a truly Slavic length.
The yellow vest, with scores of bright
buttons and gay stitching, is likely to
be worn unbuttoned unless his shirt
lacks ample decoration.
Almost always one is likely to see
some of the gypsies of the region and,
spattered with fire as is the white cos
tume of the Croatian women, they
seem lacking in color when a gypsy
woman strides by. Her head shawl Is
a blaze of Turkey red. The massive
red flowers or other designs in her
waist may or may not be carrying on
silent war with the tone of the head
dress, but If by any chance they har
monize, the bright colors around the
bottom of the apron surely do not.
The gypsy woman’s main decoration,
besides the bright rings of base metals
whfth emphasize the proletarian qual
ity of her hands, is a long necklac4 of
the huge silver cart-wheel currency
which bear the head of Francis Joseph
and make him popular throughout {he
now defunct empire of the Hapsburgs.
In a Beautiful Setting.
Behind the city there are lovely val
leys reaching into the hills and livened
with singing brooks on their way to
the Save, with peasant houses flanked
by huge haycocks hiding in the trees,
and along the ridges are scattered the
eeries of suburbanites who love the
air.
Here, too, Is one of the finest wild
parks in Europe, Its vegetation un-.
tamed and full of beauty, with benches
pleasantly located to look off across
the city and the valley of the Save.
But perhaps the prevailing Impres
sion of the visitor is not concerned
with loveliness which Nature has lav
ished on the surroundings, but the way
in which man has kept the place at
tractive. The tables of the coffee
shops are as spotless as the *white
skirts of the women, and as soon as
the market Is Over, usually at noon,
the cobbles of the square are polished
till they shine. \ Every bench, lettuce
leaf or plum pit is spirited away so
that its presence may not add a touch
of variety to the great gray square In
which, but a few hours before, a thou
sand gayly-dressed people surged back
and forth in the eternal drama of bar
ter and sale.
Out in the wide plain beyond the
cathedral there Is an amusement park
or circus ground, where the Croatian
peasant follows his main delights of
eating, drinking, singing and dancing.
But with nightfall these colorful folks
are well out on the white roads which
lead to their farms, the women toiling
along under the large willow basket
with the newly-purchased geese rub
ber-necking from tlveir elevated coign
of vantage, and the man, his brimless
black felt hat, compromise between
dunce-cap and derby, with Its bright
band around it perched over one ear,
and his yellow vest, studded with
small brass buttons until one can
scarcely see the leather, flapping Idly
beside his carefree bosom. A veri
table spotless town, Zagreb emphasizes
the labor of women in away which
reminds one of the electric sign in
which a woman is constantly fighting
dirt.

OrchardlS
VIGOROUS TREES ARE
BEST FOR PLANTING
“In planting an orchard only trees
of the best quality should be used. This
means vigorous trees having good root
systems, free from disease and insects
and true to name. No ill-shaped tree
should be used, as the shape can never
be corrected. Best results cannot be
obtained from using trees too old and
too large. There is a tendency for
those buying in small quantities to
want trees that are very large, think
ing they will come into bearing earliej*.
The younger and smaller trees will not
only come into bearing as soon, but
can be trained to the desirejl shape,
will cost less money and more of the
trees will live,” says B. F. Payne, ex
tension horticulturist of the North
Carolina State college and department
of agriculture.
“Best results are obtained from one
year-old apple and pear trees four to
five feet high, one-year-old plums and
cherries three to four feet high, pe
cans that are four to six feet high, and
from June-budded peach trees that are
two to three feet in length. Cheaper
prices can be obtained where a num
ber of farmers club together and order
their trees co-operatively.
“Upon receipt of the trees from the
nursery they should be set out at once.
If this cannot be done, they should be
‘heeled-in,’ which means digging a
trench deep enough to cover the roots,
setting the trees in this trench and cov
ering the roots so they will not dry
out. Many trees, especially pecans, are
lost through drying-out before they are
set In* the orchard.”
Supply of Raspberries
for an Average Family
Raspberries are very fine and are
easily grown. Fifty to one hundred
hills of canes well taken care of will
yield plenty of fruit for the average
family.
Early in spring prepare a plot of
ground for the setting out of the
roots, which can be bought from any
nursery. Set the roots in rows three
feet apart and place them two feet
apart in the rows. Give them repeat
ed and clean cultivation, allowing
about two canes to start from each
root. Tie them to stakes, but get as
good a growth through the summer as
possible. Something like one-third of
a crop of fine berries will be had the
following season.
The spring of the second year, cut
out all the old canes and allow two to
three young canes to grow up
through the summer, but when they
get 30 inches high, top tl\em. Pinching
off the top bud causes the canes to
take on a thicker growth and also
causes side branches to start out from
the ground to the tops. They will
stand up straight and strong and re
quire no stakes*
Tolerably early cut all the side
branches back to about one foot In
length. Do this before the leaves be
gin to come out. Treated in this way,
each cane looks like a little shrub and
after the bloom comes, all of them
are loaded with it and the result is. a
very large yield of perfect fruit.
With this sort of treatment each
year an abundance of fine berries is
secured with little trouble.
Pruning Farm Orchard in
Spring for Best Results
Late March or early April is a good
time to prune the farm orchard. If
the work is done at this time, the
wounds of the trees will heal quickly.
All trees that are badly diseased or
broken should be removed altogether.
Young trees should be pruned so as
to encourage the development of low
growing, well-shaped trees.
In pruning a bearing tree, the aim
should be to allow good circulation of
air and- light to all parts of the tree.
If the tree has a tendency to grow
too tall, the top should be cut back
In order to further lateral growth. All
dead wood and stubs should be total*
ly removed. Water sprouts should be
taken out except when they fill a
space which needs a brands Where
branches interfere with one another,
one branch should be removed to al
low the other to properly develop.
Orchard of Sufficient
Size for Family Table
Sometime In the near future every
farmer means to have an orchard, but,
like the rest of us, he Is afflicted with
that well-known disease called procras
tination. In the meantime opportuni
ties are passing and the family de
mands are increasing, yet their needs
are not supplied. The time to do a
thing needed to be done is now. De
lays are dangerous and procrastination
Is discouraging, so take advantage of
the opportunities and put in an orchard
of sufficient size to care for the family.
Evergreens Add Shelter
and Beauty to Farmstead
Mark the locations where some ad
ditional windbreak trees will add to
the comfort of man and beast. The
best windbreak trees are the ever
greens and they will add both shelter
and beauty. A few clumps of ever
greens add immensely to the value
and appearance of the home. A shel
ter belt north of the feed lot and barns
reduces the rate of wind and adds to
their efficiency.
