ITiw'Facfcthat in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ills to a woman a woman whose experience with women's diseases covers twenty-five years. .The present Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, was for years under her direction, and has ever since her decease continued to advise women. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing well that .they ought to have immediate assistance, but fa-natural modesty causes them to shrink f rom exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician. Such questioning and examination is unnecessary. Without cost you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING INVITATION: , Women suffering from any form of female weakness areinited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn , Mass. All letters are 'received, opened, read and answered by women. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to. a woman ; thus has been established this confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Never has she published a testimonial or used a letter without the written consent of the writer and never ha the i company allqwed these confidential letters to get out of their possession, as the hundreds of thousands of them in their files will attest Out of the: vast volume of experience which ; Mrs. Pinkham has to -draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge needed in your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her ad vide has helped thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, should be glad . to take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.

Expectancy of receiving many complaints during next week, following the observance of St. Valentine Day on Sunday,, has set Postmaster J. A. Spekenhier and his assistants on edge. It always has happened that numerous complaints are made by victims of a practical joke In the form of a scurrilous valentine. Persons who desire to get even with another by the comic valentine method sou Id stop and think before sending any suggestive pictures or literature, for if the victims desire to press the charge, serious cafes may be brought against the senders, which if proven, will send them to the penitentiary. Postmaster J. A. Spekenhier in dis

cussing the matter yesterday declared i that i.t seemed to be a common practice j for persons with a 'desire to get eveni

to send a scurrilous' post card. The next day or two after receiving the valentine, the victims come blustering into Mr. Spekenhler's office and want revenge. It Is sometimes hard to determine who the consignee of the valentine is, and in other instnaces, tho person desiring revenge is encouraged to allow the matter to drop. For these reasons it is seldom that one bears of legal proceedings being brought to obtain redress. It has happened that damage suits have been Instituted by angry persons receiving such valentines.

The magnetic needle comes to rest pointing north and south because the earth acts as if it were a great magnet. A compass needle would come to rest pointing lengthwise or a bar magnet placed under the compass needle, just as it does under the influence of the earth. For this reason we think of the earth as a great magnet. The North Pole and the North Star have no influence over the compass needle.

It's not only larger than any previous issue, but it's more beautiful. Not until we page through this bright and snappy book of fashions does one realize the immense amount of style information it contains and the thoroughness with which it looks after the fashion wants of every member of the family. .

The Progress of the Quarterly Style Book in Richmond. How it happens that where we formerly sold 300 fashion books of another publication, we are now selling 1200 Quarterly Style book?: per year.

Up to the time the Heme Pattern Co. brought out its quarterly style book, fashion publications were not very accurate or satisfying to fashion lovers or pattern buyers. The illustrations had been exaggerated beyond all natural or possible lines and had failed utterly to convey a correct impression of the effects produced by patterns that were supposed to be illustrated. Recognizing this and believing that the fashion world and pattern buyers would welcome an illustrated fashion guide published quarterly that would really illustrate the various patterns, they began to issue what this country new recognizes as the most reliable and complete fashion guide printed. The best designers and artists of the country are found on the staff of the Home Pattern Co and the reader may rely entirely on the accuracy of any pattern selected from the Spring Quarterly style book which beyond a doubt exceeds anything ever attempted by the TOME PATTERN COMPANY Notwithstanding the great improvement that is continually being made on the Quarterly Style book, the price remains just the same.
