Miss Asrnes Miller, of Chicago, speaks to young women about dangers of the Menstrual Period. " To Yor2fO Womex : I suffered for bix years with dysmenorrhea (painful periods), bo much so tha.t I dreaded every month, as I knew it meant three or four days of intense pain. The doctor said this was due to an inflamed condition of the uterine appendages caused by repeated and neglected colds. "If young1 girls only realized how dangerous it is to take cold at this critical time, much suffering would be spared them. Thank God for Lyclia 13. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, that was the only medicine which helped me any. Vithin three weeks after I started to take it, I , noticed a marked improvement in my general health, and at the time of my next monthly period the pain had diminished considerably. I kept up the treatment, and was cured a month later. I am like another person since. T nm in rterfect health, mv eves are brighter, 1 have added 12 pounds to my xveijjnt, ray coior is ,ruou, uuu . icci light andhappy." Miss Agnes Miller, 25 Potomac Ave., Chicago, III. $5000 forfeit If original of above letter proving genuineness cannot be produced. The monthly sickness reflects the condition of a woman's health. Anything" unusual at that time should have prompt and proper attention. th' breast o' th' chicken at Sunday dinner jist like a sick chile er n preacher. But it wuz the pioneer farmer who blazed th' trail in th' wilderness, an' fixed things easy fer th' pedagogue t' come 'long afteranls. Anyhow, Man larned t' plow 'fore 'e knowed anything 'bout parsing pronouns, an' he wuz eultivatin' th' fields long 'fore 'e wtiz eonjugatin' verbs, an' he wuz splittin' rails a mighty long while 'fore "e heerd tell of a split particle. That's why I cain't git it through my noggin' 'at ejjication should 'a 'ben putt first on th' list 'o de-part-ments. Yit they're a-payin' a feller by th' name o' Kogers .$7,000 year t' run th' ejjication de-part-ment at th' Fair, an' he looks ez wize ez 'n owl at noontime, an' deelar's 'at ejjication 's th' key-note o' th' Fair. I don't blame this yere pedagogue a doggone bit fer makin' this claim fer a feller must alius do sumpin' to' earn his sal'ry. An', by gum, he's cert'nly a-gittin' money 'nuff t' hev cider an' sweetcake at ev'ry meal. Fer ez that's c'nsarned, th' hull Fair 's nuthin' but-a ejjicational institootion, no matter whuther ye 're lookin' at th' Cascades, er th' naked Igorrotes, er a fat heifer, er a' oriental dancin' gal, er a-Avatchin' Dave Francis do his daily caper uv bavin' his pictcher took by th' 'fichul photo-grapher. Ye 're larnin' sumpin' all th' time." Bill AVinsc delivered himself of these observations as he lay down his ancient carpetsack, took a seat on a nailkeg in Jim Burns 's general store, lighted a cob-pipe by striking a match on the nether side of one pants-leg, and stroked his Aaronic beard in truly patriarchal fashion. He was back home in Possumtrot. Bill "Winse 's full cognomen is William Winston. But, true to the prevailing custom in Possumtrot, the denizens thereabout took the shortest cut possible with his name, just like the farm stock do in striking a path through the woods pasture to the spring-water branch. This familiarity with Bill's name was not a sign of contempt. On the contrary, he is held in high esteem as a pioneer farmer who has accumulated a fortune and a thousand acres of land since the civil war. In fact. Bill Winse is the leading citizen the toparch of the town whose opinions are Delphic oracles for the community, and whose actions are so closely imitated that if he selects a new brand of "store terbacker" every man Jack in the vicinity bins a plus: out of the same caddy. So, when Bill Wense stepped from an ancient passenger coach hitched onto the hind end of a freight train, that had wound around many hills since leaving the "main line," direct from St. Louis, the standing room and nail-keg seating capacity of Burns 's general store was soon occupied by an attentive audience that drank in each word from this village Solomon. "Yes siree! I claim teth Ajrricultur' should a 'ben h'isted t' fust place on th' list o' ile-partments. Instid o that they've putt it way down t eighth place. Art, Lib'ral Arts.

"Nuthin' proves this so conclusively ez this yere World's Fair at St. Looey.

"On th' top uv a hill, pitnigh in the center o' th' Exp-sition grounds stands an enormous structure uv unrivalled proportions, with graceful facades, vaulted entrances, large winders, an' walls an' colyooms thet look like 'they 're carved out o' flawless ivory. This 's th' magnificent Palace o' Agricultur. An' 1 tell ye, this yere building's cert'nly a whopper. It's 16G0 feet long, an' 540 feet wide, kivers twenty-three, acres, an' they say it cost $529,000. It's three times bigger'n th' Coliseum o' ancient Borne, ten times bigger'n th' Madison Square Garden, an' by gum, ye c'n putt th' Planters' Hotel uv Saint Looey an' th' Waldorf Castoria uv Noo York in this yere Farmer's Palace an' hev room t' rattle 'em aroun' like two peas in a peek measure. "W'y, it tuck more'n ten million feet o' lumber t' putt up this buildin'. It took (00 freight cars 't haul th' lumber. Thirty cars o' lumber make one heavy train, so ye see it took twenty full trains t' haul in th' lumber. Down South in th' pineries, one acre o' forest '11 yield G,000 feet o' lumber on th' average. A leetle cackerlatin' tells ye that all the timber on l(i(0 acres, er pitnigh two and a-half square miles, bed t' be cut down t' supply this lumber. That's more'n hailf ez much agin land ex I own.
