Second. The medicine that holds the record for the largest number of absolute cures of female ills Is Lydia B. Plnkham'a Vegetable Compound. It regulates, strengthens and cures disooses of the female organism as nothing else can. For thirty yearn it has been helping women to be strong, curing backache, nervousness, kidney troubles, all uter ine and ovarian inflammation, weak ness and displacements, regulating menstruation perfectly nnd overcom ing its pains. It hns nlso proved itself invaluable in preparing for childbirth and the change of life. TttiHD. The great volume of unso licited and grateful testimonials on file at the Plnknam Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., manv of which arc from time to time published by permission, give ab solute evidence of the value of Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice. Fourth. Every ailing woman in the United States is asked to accept tho following invitation. It is free, will bring you health and may save your life. Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation to Women. -Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink ham, at Lynn, Mass.

Account for tills as you ilease, it Is a toiry fact. Last June 1 sent a letter to tho super intendent of schools of every city In Connecticut and to some of the larger towns. From about 10 of these Miners 1 received that reply, "verticil Is taught."

The srperlntendent in one largo city paid: "Boys writing vertical ire handicapped In seeking employment in oiliees: merchants don't like it." The last reply is very significant nnd fully expresses the sentiment generally felt throughout the country ni It appears to me. The style certainly falls to meet the demands of the business community.

Hut the. most Impresslvo body of moiirne.rs were the ,"i2 men from the bat tered Pennington. Itesldes them were hundreds of civilians, who, unthnttghtful of the fatiguing Journey from tho city, brought their offerings of flowers to lay ipon the graves. San Diego was a city of mourning to-day. Thousands tiled through tho morgues this morning with arms fill ed with flowers, dropping tho blos soms here and there upon soino un fortunate's draped coffin. Other thousands gathered In tho plaza, whence the procession of coffin-laden wagons was to start. Promptly nt noon tho long; lino of vehicles began tho journey around the bay to the burial place. Owing to tho steep hills and rough roads, it was found Impracticable to use hearses or ven dead wagons, and tho bodies were stacked In heavy express wagons nnd other ordinary vehicles. Kvery casket bore a beautifully executed wreath of asparagus ferns, white carnations nnd Immortelles, sent by the Pan Diego ommerclnl bodies. Tho flags camo from tho nation In whoso services tho men died. Kvery ono of tho plain, illicit stained caskets was draped with the national emblem, nnd the plain eommeiciul utility of thn dead wagons was disguised under tho folds of tho nntlonal colors. From noon until three o'clock these dead-buriloned wagons tolled toward tho burial grounds, and not until almost half past our was tho last casket placed in the long trench. The deep trench in which tho bodies were placed, in two rows, feet to feet, Is sixty feet long unel fourteon feet wide. It was linlshed but a. few min utes before the arrival of tile first load of bodies. Around It wero drawn up in long lines thn artillery company from the fort seveuty-Iivo strong on the west; the naval reserves, bearing arms full of flowers on the north, the Benning ton's survivors on the cast, nnd the Universal Hrothet hood on tho west. Just outside the simple picket fence enclosing the burying ground gathered the public in solid masses. Without a moment's delay the work of lifting the coffins from tho wagons and ranging them In the trench wus carried on. Shipmates from tho Ben nington performed this sad duty. Squads of six came fofVard from their rank In rapid succession, lifting tho caskets gently entered tho trench at tho head mid deposited the bodies as directed by Lieutenant Tobin. Tho board placed lit thu head of each body was properly marked und numbered. In just ono hour und fifteen minutes A Living Monument.
