Abridged Bible. An abridged Bible ia being advo cated—one that will contain only the vital parts of the great book, and that omita hundreds of pagea of mat ter now not read at all except by stu dents. No doubt suoh a Bible would become instantly popular, because It would ail be interesting and to the point. In thla age, none except" stu denta will wade through Very long books. Everybody wanta the truth boiled down to the vwy shortest space. The great story of the cruci fixion is told in very few words, and all the essentials of the Bible for the average person could eaaily be covered in one-fifth the pages required for the whole work. —Qallipolia Tri bune. Man's Preference. "Men In youth, or age, or midlife age, will sooner kiss a pretty mouth than a clever brow any day, or every day."—"Wlliam," by 8. C. Netheraoie. Proposing by mall Is as unsatisfac tory as kissing a girl through a knot hole in a board fence. When it comes to work, in the spring almost anybody is willing to pose as a total abstainer. But you can't Judge a man's true worth by the amount of insurance he carries. HER "BEST FRIEND" A Woman Thus Speaks of Postum. We usually consider our best friends those who treat us best. Some persons think coffee a real friend, but watch it carefully awhile and observe that It is on* of thh meanest of all enemiea, for it stabs one while professing friendship. Coffee contains a poisonous drug caffeine—which injures the delicate nervous system and frequently sets up disease in one or more organs of the body, if ita use is persisted in. "I had heart palpitation and nerv ousness for four yesrs and th« doctor told me the trouble was caused by coffee. He advised me to leave It off, but I thought I could not," writes a Wis. lady. "On the sdvlee of a friend I tried Postum and it so satisfied me I did not care for coffee after a few days' trial of Postam. "As weeks went by and I continued to use Postum my weight increased from 98 to 118 pounds, and the heart trouble left me. I have used it a year now and am stronger than I ever was. 1»c»n bustle up stairs without any heart palpitation, and I am tree from "My children are very fond of Post um and it agrees with them. My sister ' liked it when she drank it at my bouse; now she has Postum at home and has become very fond of it Ton may use my name if you wish, aa I am not ashamed of praising my best friend— Postum." Name given by Pustnm Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Postum now comes "in new concen trated form called Instant Postum. It regular Postum, so processed at the factory that only- the soluble portions arc retained. A spoonful, of Instant Postum with hot water, and sugar and cream to taste, produce Instantly a delicious beverage. ' Write for the little book, "The Road to Wellville."

No less than 40 counties were rep resented, there being present S6l delegates from every section of the state. Every class and condition, and practically every Interest was repre sented, manufacturers, merchants, Jobbers, farmers and professional men being present to Join in the great con certed crusade that has for its sole and single purpose the elimination of the present excessive and discrimlna tory freight rates, which Attorney General Thomas W.

"Therefore, be It reeolved," read the resolution brought in by the com mittee of which Mr. W. C. Dowd of Charlotte was chairman and which summed up the work of the meet ings, "that this meeting does hereby request the Honorable Governor of North Carolina to call a special ses sion of the legislature to meet in Raleigh as soon as, in his Judgment, It is wise to do so, for the purpose of receiving a report from the said special committee; and be It alao re solved that this body pledges its sup port and encouragement to the Gov ernor «tnd the legislature In such efforts as they may make along these lines to obtain Just treatment from the transportation companies for the ctlzens of the state."

The fttct that the Woman's Auxliary of the Diocese of North Carolina has Just votai overwhelmingly for the informstion of the diocesan convention against extending women the right to vote on church government mat ters is taken as a demonstration of the claim that wofaen of North Caro lina are far from wanting woman's suffrage in matters of state. The dio cesan convention a year ago passed e resolution giving the women the right to vote and brought It over to the convention this year. Fourth District Msdlcsl Society.

Another says, M I would not give Lydia E. Pinkham's yegetable Compound for all the other medicines for women in the world." Still another writes, " I should like to have the merits of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound thrown on the sky with a searchlight so that all suffering women could read and be convinced that there Is a remedy for their ills." We could fill a newspaper ten times the size of this with such quo tations taken from the letters we have received from grateful women whose health has been restored and suffering banished by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Why has Lydia E. Pinkham'B Vegetable Compound accomplished such a universal success? Why has it lived and thrived and kept on doing its glorious work among the sick women of the world for more than 30 years ? Simply and surely because of Its sterling worth. The reason no other medicine has ever approached its success is plainly and sim ply because there is no other medicine so good for women's ills. Here are two letters that just came to the writer's desk—only two of thousands, but both tell a comforting story to every suffering wo man who will read them—and be guided by them. FROM MRS. D. H.
