ture machine. He gave a beau

You Must Get in the Ring.
The purpose of store advertis
ing is not merely to sell goods,
but to sell more goods—to make
friends, bu.ld up a patronage that
will not only stick but grow.
Newspapers reach the greatest
number of people in the immedi
ate vicinity in the most natural
way. at the least expense, and
they are therefore the best of all
mediums for stores. In a news
paper you follow the lines of least
resistance—you follow with the
stream —you talk to an audience
already assembled, to the people
who want to read —their mental
cosmos is right—they are on
your wire, and they won't ring
off if you hold their interest. At
traction is th# basis of all adver
tising—the store S* the sun, the
customers the planets that f»#r
volve around it,
A Word About Clubf.
In many towns of this size
woman's clubs are numerous, and
while they are criticised by some, *
they are certainly beneficial in
many ways. In small towns and
villages the club has been a spe
cial providence to many a weary
mother or to the woman of few
early advantages and large aspi
rations. In our great cities wo
men's clubs have been the first
to institute social reforms and to
call public attention to crying
evils. They have controlled su
perficial and selfish social cus
toms until such customs have be
come obsolete. In home govern
ment and the training of chil
dren they long ago struck the
key-note of a grand choral of re
form which will become more
harmonious as the years roll by.
Out of the selfish "ego" they
have evolved the progressive
"we." They have strengthened
two weak hands with the com
bined power of twenty or a hun
dred; they have taken a dull un
cut gem of thought and polished
it until it has been fit for the
purest setting in refined gold;
they have mastered great diffi
culties, conquered absurd preju
dices, and solved difficult prob
lems; and the grandest work of
all has been to teach the women
their own possibilities and the
glory of their own heritage.
The man who is fussy about
his meals generally is the same
about his private business,

If you don't just like every
thing you see in your home pa
per, go around the streets and
howl. The editor is never sup
posed to make a mistake and of
course cannot do so. Other peo
ple can, but the editor is übi
quitous, omniscient, omnipres
ent, omnipotent, "omniverous."
If you can't see a good point,
don't fail to see a bad one., If a
thousand pleasant things ' are
said of people, hunt for some
thing unpleasant. If you don't
find it, howl some more; if you
do, howl anyway. Never mind
your own business; watch for
something to find fault with in
some other man's business, this
will make you great. I

A Prominent Cincinnati Woman Tells
How Lydla E. Plnkham's Vegetable
Compound Completely Cured Her.
The great good Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is doing among
the women of America is attracting
the attention of many of our leading
scientists, and thinking people gener
illy.
The following letter is only one of
mftpv thousands which are on file in
the Pinkham office, and go to prove
beyond question that Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound must be a
remedy of great merit, otherwise it
could not produce such marvelous
results among sick and ailing women.
Dear Mrs. Pinfeham: —
"About nine months ago I was & great suf
ferer with female trouhle, which caused me
severe pain, extreme nervousness and fre
aueivfc headaches, from which the doctor
failed to relieve me. I tried Lydia E. Pink
ham's ""Vegetable Compound, and within a
jhort time felt better, and after taking five
bottles of it I was entirely cured. I therefore
heartily recommend your Compound as a
splendid female tonic. It makes the monthly
periods regular and without pain; and what
a blessing it is to find such a remedy after so
many doctors fail to help you. lam pleased
to recommend it to all suffering women."—
Mrs. Sara Wilson, 81 East 3d Street, Cincin
nati, Ohio.
If you have suppressed or painful
Eriods, weakness of the stomach,
digestion, bloating, pelvic catarrh,
nervous prostration, dizziness, faint
ness, " don't-care " and "want-to-be
left-alone " feeling, excitability, back
ache or the blues, these are sure indi
cations of female weakness, or some
derangement of the organs. In such
cases there is one tried and true remedy
