What ever auxiliary attractions there may be are never advertised.'" '"The show is never divided.

MANHOOD FROM GIRLHOOD TO WO Mothers Should Watch the Development of Their Daughters interesting Experiences of Misses Borman and Mills. Every mother possesses information j which is of vital interest to her young daughter. Too often this is never imparted or is withheld until serious harm has result ed to the growing girl throtigh her ignorance of nature's mysterious and wonderful laws and penalties. Girls' over-sensitiveness and modesty often puzzle their mothers and baffle physicians, as they so often withhold their confidence from their mothers and conceal the symptoms which ought to be told to their physician at this critical period. When a girl's thoughts become slug gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis position to sleep, pains in back or lower limbs, eves dim, desire for solitude; when she is a mystery to herself and friends, her mother should come to. her aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pink tarn's Vegetable Compound will at this time prepare the system for the coming change, and start this trying period in a young girl's life without piu or irregularities. Hundreds of letters from young girls and from mothers, expressing their gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has accomplished for them, have been received by the Eydia . Pinkham Medicine Co., at Lynn, Mass. Miss Mills lias written fh ttvo -fnl. lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which wm be read with interest : Dear Mrt PinVtium nrinrt Ttr "I am but fifteen years of age, am depressed nave dizzy spells, chills, headache and back ache, and as I have heard that yo:i can g . e helpful advice to girls in r.iy conditiou. :'- writing you.'

Myrtle Mills, Otjua.vka, I'd. Miss Matilda Borman writes Mrs. Pinkham as follows : Dear Mrs. Pinkham : Before taking Lydia E. rinkham s ege- table Compound my periods were irregu lar and paintul, and 1 always haa sucu dreadful headaches. 4 But since taking the Compound my head aches have entirely left me, my periods are regular, and I am getting strong and woil. I am telling all my girl friends what Lydia E. Pinkham s egetable Compound has none for me." Matilda Borman, Farmington, Iowa. If you know of any young girl who is sick and needs motherly advice, ask her to address Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., and tell her every detail of her symptoms, and to keep nothing back. She will receive advice absolutely free, from a source that has no rival in the experience of woman's ills, and it will, if followed, put her on the right road to a strong, healthy and happy womanhood. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound holds the record for the greatest number of cures of female ills of any medicine that the world has ever known. "Why don't you try it ? Democrats who know that they would not have a fiiifrer in the pie were he to be raised to that position, and they have tried to pull him down by base insinuations. They fear him; they are afraid that he will supersede their idol from Nebraska. They can not deny his ability and tbey do not dare openly to attack his integrity, but thev try to pull him down by saying that it would not do to put up a southern man to lead, the Dem ocratic party and that his connec tion as attorney with a certain cor poration makes his leadership an im possibility, all of which means that they Southern Democrats person ally and for selfish reasons prefer the man from Nebraska to Mr. Bailey.

The time of the year has come when, in accordance with the wise custom of our forefathers, it becomes my duty to set aside a special day of thanksgiving and E raise to the Almighty because cl tne leasing we have received, nd of prayer that thaee blessings may be continued. Yet another year of widespread well-being has past. Never before in our history or in the history of any other nation has a people enjoyed more abounding mate rial prosperity than is our prosperity; a firosperity so great that it should arouse a us no spirit of reckless pride, and least of all a spirit of heedless disregard of our responsibilities, but rather a sober sense of our many blessings, and a resolute purpose under Providence, not to forfeit them by action of our own. Material well-being, indispensible though it is, can never be anything but the foundation of true national great ness and happiness. If we build nothing upon this foundation, then our natural life will be as meaningless and empty as a house where only the foundation has been laid. Upon our material well-being must be built a superstructure of individ ual and national life lived in accordance with the lawB of the highest morality, or else oar prosperity itself will ia the long ; run turn out a curse instead of a bless-! , ing. We should be both reverently thank ful for what we have received and earn estly bent upon turning it into a means of grace and not of destruction. Accordingly, I hereby set apart Thurs day, the twenty-ninth day of November, next, as a day of thanksgiving and sup plication, on which the people Bhall meet m their homes or their churches, devout ly acknowledge all that has been given them, and to pray that they may in ad dition receive the powers to use these gifts aright. In witness there of I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this 22nd day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hun dred and six, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and thirty-first. seal THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

"Following the line 'of least resist ance," the "down-hill haul to the sea," the ever growing commerce of the country is more and more seek ing an outlet through Southern ports. Our foreign commerce, now 13,000,000,000 a year, will double and quadruple, as will our coastwise trade, but the number of our ports can be very slightly increased even if millions should be expended. Nature has fixed the location of our avail able ports and forever set the limit upon their number. As commerce ex pands, Southern ports must grow in opulence and population. Great fi nancial centers must naturally follow, and the vast commerce, or which we have seen only the beginning, will soon flow through the South, Will be a mighty factor in the building of railroads, the growth of cities, the immigration of people from other countries and other sections. There are few countries on earth which have such a ceocranhical relation to the centers of productive energies on the one side and the world s commerce on the other as the South., The hu man mind caunot fully grasp the wonders of the comin.r vears in this Heaven-favored section.
