SEVEN YEARS OF MISERY How Mrs. Bethune was Restored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Sikeston, Mo. "For seven years I suffered everything. I was in bed for

i four or five days at a time every month,

jjf and so weak I could

hardly walk. I had cramps, backache and headache, and

Mm was so nervous and

weaK tnat i dreaded to see 'anyone or have anyone move in the room. The doctors gave me medi-

"UMj cinq to ease me at

those times, and said that I ought to 4 have an operation. I would not listen to that, and when a friend of my husband's ,l;ld him about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and what it had done for his wife, I was willing to take it. Now I look the picture of health and feel like it, too. I can do all my own housc- . y. ork, work in the garden and entertain company and enjoy them, and can walk is far as any ordinary woman, any day in the Week. I wish I could talk to every raftering woman and girl, and tell them ,y.'hat Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me." Mrs. Dema Bethune, Sikeston, Mo. , Remember, the remedy which did this was Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. . , . ; It has helped thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, Inflammation, ulceration, tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing down feeling, indigestion, and . r.crvous prostration, after all other mean3 r :.vc failed.

The city of Richmond cannot be compelled to pay the City Light plant the sum of $56,758.87, which is due the Light plant for current supplied the various departments of the city since February, 1910. This is the

opinion of the city attorney and other legal authorities who have investigated the matter thoroughly. The law construed by the city attorney as bearing indirectly on the fight of the City Light plant for the sum alleged due the plant, is one which states that where the city is the owner of the water works plant, no payment shall tie made to the plant by the city, for all water used by the city in ordinary cases, such as water for parks, city buildings and fires. City Attorney Gardner states this law. if applied to the Light plant, would prevent the city from paying to the Light plant the sum said to be due. The report submitted to Superintendent Johnson by the expert accountants who made the examination of the books of the various city officers, will be submitted to State Chief of Accountants Dehority. Johnson will make a note of the facts mentioned hi the report, append a report of his own, and make suggestions covering the report. This is expected to be sent to the mayor in a short time, and it is believed he will ask that the city pay to the light plant the sum due. As explained by City Attorney Gardner, who has made a close study of this question, the city may pay to the light plant the sum alleged due, but is not compelled to do so. This seems to indicate that whatever the attitude

of the state examiners may be in he local situation, the city will not be obliged to pay this large sum to the plant. The plant is in an excellent financial condition, and is applying part of its profits to a fund for paying off the bonded indebtedness of 1144,000 when it falls due; a part for a fund to provide for accidents or breaks, and preparing to double its present capacity.

Give Proper Care to the Hair AndYouWillNeverNeedaWig

The man who wears a toupee does not like it, but has the courage of his convictions. Nature never intended that the top of the head should be' left entirely without protection. A bald head is very susceptible to contraction of colds and neuralgia. Wearing an artificial top piece counteracts this tendency, and, aside from the improvement in the personal appearance, is amply justified. Hok much better it would have been had the man, now chronically bald and wearing a toupee, but realized earlier in life the approaching danger and devoted a little regular attention to his hair, which wauld have saved it. There is a remedy which will absolutely prevent baldness. Loss of hair in nine cases out of ten is unnecessary, being due to dandruff and the germ that causes it. This germ must be destroyed and the accumulations

of dandruff checked. Then the hair will not fall out, but instead will grow naturally and luxuriantly. Newbro's Herpicide is the remedy regular applications of which will d this. It has long been known as the

I original remedy that kills the danj druff germ and is absolutely dependI able. j Newbro's Herpicide in 50c and $1.00 j sizes is sold by all dealers who guari antee it to do all that is claimed. If j you are not satisfied your money will l be refunded. j Herpicide applications may always

be obtained at the better barber 6hops and hair dressing parlors. Anyone desiring to try Newbro's Herpicide before purchasing a large bottle will receive a nice sample and booklet by sending 10c in postage or silver to The Herpicide Co., Dept. R., Detroit, Mich. A. G. Luken & Co., Special Agents.
