- THE CHARLOTTE NEWS. FEBRUARY 28s 12 , 7 ZZI yi . ' . , " '. , a : " : : ; 1 : : : prcm Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. The "change of life " Is a most critical period in a -woman's ex istence, and the anxiety felt by tvomen as it draws near is not without reason. "When her system is in a de landed condition, she may bq predisposed to apoplexy, or con gestion of some organ. At this time, also, cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, vari able appetite, weakness and inquietude, and dizziness, are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period in life when woman's great change may be expected. These symptoms are calls from nature for help. The nerves are crying out for assistance and the cry should be heeded in time. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is prepared to meet the needs of women's system at this trying period of her life. It invigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weakened nervous system It has carried many women safely through this crisis. ttlrsEsteUa Gillispie jj ONE CASE OUT OF MAN Y TO PKOVE OUR GLAIRS. St. Anne, 111. " I was passing through the change of life and I was a perfect wreck from female troubles. I had' a displacement and bearing down pains, weak fainting spells, dizziness, then numb and cold feelings. Some times my feet and limbs were swollen. I was irregular and had so much backache and headache, was nervous, irritable and was despondent. Sometimes my ap petite was good but more often it was not. My kidneys troubled me at times and I could walk only a short distance. "I saw your advertisement in a Eaper and took Lydia E. Pink- . aril's Vegetable Compound, and I was helped from the first. At the end of two months the swel- ling had gone down, I was re lieved of pain, and could walk with ease. I continued with the medicine and now I do almost all my housework. I know your medicine has saved me from the grave and I am willing for you to publish anything I write to you, ' for , the good of others." Mrs. Esteixa Giixispie, R.F.D.

New York recluse, out of property valued at $400,000. Gardner was acquitted a year ago in New York City of a charge of bribery in connection with the anti racing track legislation at Albany, N. Y. iERCIMTS MFC'S EUENT 2 0 MAY Chas. G. Knight Will Return Returning to his home in Coventry, ELgland, after a triumphant lec ture tour that took him into automobile centers In ten states, Chales Y. Knight inventor of the sleeve-valve motor bearing his name, announces a return visit to the -United States next fall that will swing him around the most comprehensive itinerary ever essayed by a motor engineer. It is just possi ble the former Chicagoan may have to extend his tour to the Hawaiian Isl ands, so insistent have been the de mands upon him for a series of lec tures on the wonders of his invention by motorists in Honolulu. Coming to the United States in re sponse to requests lrom -engineer asso ciations and automobile and " motor clubs, in time to see the Importers' Salon Exposition in New York and. at tending the two big shows- that fol lowed in Gotham, as well as the Na tional exposition in . Chicago Mr. Knight concluded his program of dec tures in Boston on the night of Feb ruary 19, sailing fro New York on the Olympic February 21. During his stay in the United States Mr. Knight addressed "capacity hous es" in several cities-, speaking twice in Boston, twice In New York and two times in Philadelphia. At the latter place the inventor was the guest of the Motor Club and 900 motorists form ed his audience at the first lecture, 100 less than the total at the second address. In Chicago his principal ad dress was made as a guest at the Chi cago Automobile Club before the larg est gathering of private owners of cars ever assembled at the club. After his Chicago address Mr. Knight followed an itinerary that took him to Minneapolis, Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis, Indianapolis and Cin cinnati. Returning to Chicago before the National show was concluded he res-ponded to toasts at several big ban quets given in honor of prominent au tomobile manufacturers. tf the water pipes burst, would the kitchen' sink? . i - ' " ' 1 1 " I ...i..n.,.

See Our Window ioeback & Elam ( The Jewelry Store of Quality 7 West Trade Street to ft?? ??'S5rsM?s The announcement that the Great er Charlotte Club will put on a Mer chants and Manufacturers' Exposition during the week of May 20th is attract ing a great deal of attention in Char lotte and when the surounding coun try gets all the facts they will be in terested also. . When It is learned that Charlotte and Richmond get their supply of sugar from the same . source, New York, and that the cost of getting it to Richmond and then to towns near Charlotte is greater than getting it to Charlotte and then to the smaller town, it will be seen that the mer chant in the smaller town can save time and money by purchasing this Item in the city of Charlotte. Likewise, when it is- shown that a merchant in the Carolinas, near Char lotte can purchase shoes in Charlotte as cheaply as he can get them in Lynchburg or Richmond and that the difference in the freight rate from Richmond to Pmeville and other simi larly located towns is much greater than Charlotte to the same towns, and tuat much time is consumed in secur ing shipments from those towns than from Charlotte, it will be seen that the shoes used throughout the iPed- mont section can be purchased her. And still another feature, dry goods, millions of yards of which are -purchased in Northern markets by Caro lina merchants every year come to them at a material advance over the price they could have been secured on this market for. Case in Point. For instance, take dry goods pur chased in Richmond and shipped to Gastonia is 80 cents". The rate from Charlotte to Gastonia on the same commodity is only 24 cents. It may be pointed out that the dif ference in the freight rate from Rich mond to Charlotte and to Gastonia To the man who has never undertaken to sell a Carolina merchant a stock of goods along any line at a price one single mill over the market price else where, this statement brings a smile, The merchants throughout the country know the market price daily, and will not stand for a difference in price on account of higher freight rates. This means that the profit of the wholesaler or, jobber is - lower or shorter than the profit of the jobber or wholesaler. It means- that the mer chant about Charlotte can purchase F.O.B. Charlotte as cheaply as he can buy F.P.O. Richmond and the freight rate is the difference, in the Gastonia case of 68 cents and 24 cents. .Stocks Are Heavy. It might be claimed that the stocks carried in Charlotte are not sufficient ly extensive to alow the selection of a complete stock for stores in smaller towns. To the Carolina merchant who has not made a bill in Charlotte with in the past few years this, may be a well founded belief, but to those who have come here and have been able, with the loss of only a day or two from his place of business, buy every thing he wanted at as close figures as he could have bought them in the Northern markets, and gotten back home and into his ,,business again, while he would have been going to the New York market ,this statement does not appeal. Each year, and each month for that matter, that goes over, brings an in creasing number of Carolina buyers to this city. They criticise carefully and closely, and seek for some reason why they should not make their pur chases here. They do not find them They return home a friend of Char lotte. '- . Charlotte has become a friend of theirs and there has arisen a commun ity of interest which will operate, first to the advantage of that community and then, incidentally to the advan tage of the city of Charlotte. . Deliveries Are Quick. Deliveries from Charlotte are quick, in many instances goods being deliv ered the same day ordered. One day this week a Charlotte News man was in the office of an automobile dealer whn a telephone message came In,. ask ing for some part of a machine. In less than 20 minutes the desired-part was boxed, sent to the railroad station and before the middle of the afternoon of the same day it was delivered to the purchaser in a town 40 miles away. This is an exceptional case, proba bly, but with the days of the telephone and the coming of the Interurban, merchants near Charlotte will be able to recive, almost hourly, from ( the distributors in this city, supplies- to "fill in" their stocks, If they run short. - ' Use of Capital. By patronizing a near market it is possible to turn over the capital in vested in a business more often, and thereby make a much greater aggre gate profit than would be the case were it nece&sary to send a thousand miles for goods. It is not necessary to stock up so heavily on lines which may go-slowly, when the market Is near at home, because, should a mer chant run low on any one line, he can telephone Charlotte and within 24 hours, at the outside, he can have a supply delivered to him, and that with out having an enormous sum of mon ey tied up for months. 'A. man with a small capital can pur chase his goods at home, discount his bills,1 add this one or two per cent to his profit, or cut from his selling price, still make the same profit his com petitor, who buysin the North, makes, and gather In much of the gilt-edge trade which has heretofore been di vided. Financial Accommodation. In Charlotte the financial Institu tions and other business houses are as willing to extend all possible busi ness' courtesies as- are those of Rich mond or New oYrk. A line of credit as good as can be secured In New York is possible here with the same sort of showing, and there is no reasl on for those who desire a line of credit to take their business to the centers, when all necessary and de sired accommodations can be. had In this city, and at the same time, leave all the affairs of this section in the 'hands of the friends of the. section. A TURN OF THE MOTOR. -O- "Taking into consideration the size of the building the Charlotte Auto Show is as good as that at Atlanta," said Mr. W. F. Smith; eastern repre sentative of the United Motor Com pany, who is visiting Manager J. H. Ham, of the United Motor Charlotte Company, of this city, handling Max well's. ' - "I am agreeably surprised to find so many cars in this exhibit and also thel arge amount .invested in accesso ries," saiys Mr. Smith. "I looked for a little single cylinder show, 'put on by people who had their hearts in the right place butw ho did not have thep roper-idea of thep roposition. I find that they have reflected credit upon the business and on the city. I find that with the facilities at the disposal of the Atlanta people Char lotte would have far distanced the show in the Georgia city and I am free to say, as it is, that it is - my opinion that . Charlotte has a prettier show than Atlanta put up. "Of course, here are . not so many care here, but nearly as many, I tell you, and it is this sort of a thing which makes for development. "I am glad to be here and see for myself what Charlotte is doing and realize that you have a most r excel lent grip on the situation. This show is going to stimulate trade greatly in this entire piedmont section." Resuming Work. After last night's society event at the Charlotte Automobile- Show, . the real work of the exhibition was reach ed again this morning and from this time until the closing of the show there will not be an inactive moment on the floor of the show. - This mornin's trains brought many visitors from out the city, and many from South Carolina, who came for the one purpose of seeing the dis play of cars on exhibit here this week, and to make selections for spring deliveries. : . "And let us . impress upon you," said President Coddington, of the Au tomobile Dealers' Association, "that these cars are from the regular stock of the Charlotte and Charlotte terri tory dealers, and have not been ship ped here from the, factory or-Atlanta or somewhere else, merely to let the people see what is ,. being built. The cars shown in this auditorium are on sale in this city at all times and can be delivered. ; They, are not samples, they are stock cars." " . Automobile Motordromes. Among the "thrillers" '"which .will be seen on the 1 state fair,; circuit ot 1912 will be at least two portable au tomobile motordromes on which mo tor cars ' will race , at top speed in the attitude of - flies on the wall. Both pro-motors expect "-'to use Fland ers "20" ; cars for their- acts which require the maximum, combination of speed, lightness,; easy, handling and reliability. ; Can't look , well, eat well or feel well with impure blood feeding your body. .
