Some one advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I had taken so much medicine and my doctor said he could do me no good so I told my i husband he might get me a bottle and I > would try it. By tile time I had taken it I felt better. I continued its use,and now I am well and strong. “I have always recommended your medicine ever since I was so wonderfully benefitted by it and I hope this letter will be the means of saving some other poor woman from suffering.”— Mrs. Martha Seavey, Box 1144, Unionville, Missouri.

David Hensley and Orval Parent had an experience that they will not soon forget. The boys were riding south, when just in front of the MyersDaily clothing store their bicycles came too close together with the result that Orval’s wheel was knocked out from under him, precipitating him to the brick street with considerable ' force. The bicycle was thrown toward ' the center of the street directly in the path of an approaching automobile. The automobile was such a short | distance away that the driver did not have time to turn out or stop his machine even though he was going as (slow as possible, with the result that the heavy car passed over the bicycle, badly breaking and bending it. The boys were considerably frightened over their narrow escape and it is safe to say that hereafter a less crow’ded thoroughfare will be selected by them ■to try their speed. TO HAVE OPERATION. Mrs. Harry Van Kirk aud little daughter. West Main street, were called to Decatur Monday morning by the sickness of her mother, Mrs. Bice Metzler. Mrs. Metzler, who is suffering from a tumor, was taken to a Fort Wayne hospital on Monday for an operation.—Portland Sun.

The auto polo experts with theli [four fast polo cars arrived at the same I time as the big racing cars, and thej immediately started practice, for un like other games, auto polp has to be kept up owing to the rough nature of the game. It is necessary to keep the drivers and mallet men hardened for the gruelling contests which they will be called upon to indulge in. There is no doubting the fact, auto polo is by far the roughest game ever invented and does not call for the services of .any mollycoddles, but men of brawn and muscle. The fair mangement is making preparations to handle the largest crowd ever assembled at the fair grounds on automobile day, which will be the only day on which the auto races and auto polo will be played. From here the speed kings will go west to Chicago and St. Louis, where they will close their season and return to their respective homes.
