NATURE AND A WOMAN'S WORK Nature and a woman's work com bined have produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known. In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mitigate suffering. The Indians on our "Western Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baffle the most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs. From thp roots and herbs of the field Lydito E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their pe culiar ills, more potent and effica cious than any combination of drugs Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills. Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 N.C. St., Louisiana, Mo., writes: " Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my troubles public. "For twelve years I had been suffer ing with the worst forms of female ills. During that time I had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue can tell what I suffered, and at times ] could hardly walk. About two years ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re stored health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering women." What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound did for Mrs. Muff, it will do for other suffering women. Subscribe for the Democrat; only SL.OO a year. A.

J The Hatcher Furniture Co. f M Hickory, N. C. I A Wise Critic. Franclsque Sarcey was for forty years a figure of great prominence in French literary life. As a critic of the drama he was looked upon as one hav ing authority, and praise from him uie:int success to the struggling play wright His criticisms were honest fearless and independent and it Is remembered of him that he refused the honor of belonging to the French academy lest he should come under obligation to fa vor the plays written by other mem bers. Sarcey's good sense was often put to the test. One day a friend came rush ing into his room waving a paper. "What is the matter?" inquired the critic. i,cr:'s some one," cried the other, "who has been calling yon an 'imbe riv-' in print! Are you going to chai inw liiiu?" smiled. "Certainly not" he replied. "I owe him my thanks. The public will soon forget the word im ' becile' and will only remember having read my name." Got Even With Dickens. When Charles Dickens was in Wash ington he met one' morning on the steps of the capitol a young congress man from Tennessee whom the great novelist had offended by his bluntness. That morning Dickens was in great good humor. "I have," said he, "found an almost exact counterpart of Little Nell." "Little Nell who?" queried the Ten nesseean. Dickens looked him all over from head to foot and from foot to bead be fore he answered, "My Little Nell." "Oh," said the Tennesseean, "I didn't know you had your daughter with you!" "I am speaking of the Little Nell ot my story, 'The Old Curiosity Shop." sir," retorted Dickens, flushing. "Oh," said the imperturbable Ten nesseean, "you write novels, do you? Don't you consider that a rather tri fling occupation for a grownup man?"

It is not generally known that the Chinese laundry system of ticketing a bundle of soiled clothes Is based on the many gods and goddesses of the laundry. The Chinese laundryman at the be ginning of each week makes out a bateh of checks in duplicate, to be used as wash tickets.

The tenure of office act, passed by congress in February, 1867, during its bitter fight with President Andrew Johnson, was a bill limiting the pow ers of the president in removals from office.
