Roes A. Hadley, general secretary, drew attention to a minute adopted by the executive committee a month ago, proposing that the meeting be urged to make monthly contributions to the expensos of the mission department so that funds may be continually at hand rather than only in sight until the last of the year, as has been the custom. This step will avoid borrowing money. It was agreed that this be attempted. Secretary Hadley also recommended the amplification of the secretarial staff, especially in the candidates committee. A committee to report next April resulted from his proposal that the executive committee be reorganized into sub-committees each responsible for one mission field.

Women should be taught by those of experience that their most precious possession is their health. Upon it depends happiness, success and attractive homes, for no home can be attractive or happy with a despondent, nervous, irritable wife and mother, suffering from the ills peculiar to her sex, such as displacements, ulceration, inflammation, irregularities and the consequent headaches, backache, and dragging down pains. It is such women who should listen to common sense advice and when such symptoms appear try that most successful of all medicines, Lydia E. Rnkham's Vegetable Compound, which is made from roots and herbs and contains no narcotics or harmful drugs, and which for more than forty years has been restoring American women to health. Here is Proof.

Cokesberry, Fla." I had a tumor and suffered with a severe pain in my right side. I could not stoop to fasten my shoes and was not able to do my work. went to the doctor and he gave me medicine and told me to stay in bed for at least fifteen days and not even to lift a basin of water till I could gain strength enough to be operated on for I never would be well without it. I remembered one of my aunts who had been in the same condition and was cured by your medicine so I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and got well completely. The tumor has disappeared and am able to do anything I want to do. I recommend your medicin to my friends and you can publish my testimonial." Mrs. S. F. Randolph, Box 18, Cokesberry, Fla.

Wakefield, Neb." I felt sick all over and did not know what to do with myself. 1 was irregular and had chills and night sweats, would vomit at that time. 1 suffered in this way for many years and had medicine from two doctors but they did me no good and so I lost faith in them. Finally my husband got tired of seeing me suffer so he got me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It seemed to help me right away, then I got Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Tablets and took several boxes. Now I feel just fine all the time so it surely is a wonderful medicine. I have told several ladies about your medicine and you can use my testimonial." Mrs. Juliet L. Pkimm, R. No. 1, Box 4, Wakefield, Nebraska.
