THE ARGUa WEDNESDAY APRIi; u, lOOO; are known to exist in this country by thousands because ' .freed from pain and suffering by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. ' . i Could such a record be made without actual and supe rior merit? Read what this woman says, and realize that the results secured in her case could not have been made except by a very good medicine. Detroit, Mich "For more titan ten yenrs I suffered with all the troubles women have. 1 had one doctor alter another without receiving any benefit. They advised an operation, but l ret used to have one. My lxdy and feet were swollen, caused by my female trouble. I was very nervous, had no appetite, indigestion and b eart trouble. Ab,out six months ago I heard of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound and decided to try it, aud in six weeks 1 w as well and strong. "I have had the pleasure of seeing live friends made well by this medicine, and I want to say to all suffering women take Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If any woman is in doubt she can write to me aud 1 shall be most happv to give her all the information I can." Mrs. Freida ltosenau, 55-A Mcldrum Ave., Detroit, Mich. . Science in surgery and electricity has advanced much in the past 30 years, but the treatment of disease by the old fashioned roots and herbs method has never been improved upon. The fact that this leader of them all Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is to-day the largest seller of any similar medicine in the world, is proof positive of its value and superiority, for with all our enterprise -and advertising we could not keep fooling the people for 30 years. Merit and merit alone is what has made Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound the standard medicine for treating diseases peculiar to women. .For 30 years Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound lias been the standard remedy for female ills. Jio sick woman does justice to herself who will not try this famous medicine. Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and has thousands of cures to its credit. fT ' jo f tne slightest trouble appears which you do not understand, write to Airs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., for her advice it is free and always helpful. FOR BIG MARATHON : RACE AT CHICAGO All Best. Kwiueis Will Compete for $10,000 lrize at Hall Park May HO. Chicago, April 14.

LEE'S ' i NEW WALL PAPER STORE 1314 Third Avenue tory, bearing directly on our own soil problem, are taken from tbe address of Dr. Cyrial G. Hopkins or the Uni versity of Illinois,, at tbe recent annual institute: - ' Russia's average yield of wheat for 20 years was S'4 bushels per acre; as a rule the land lies fallow every third year, and there lias been at least one famine in every five-year period. - Rus sia's soils are not inexhaustible. There. , are thousands of acres of level or gently rolling lands within a hundred miles of Wie city of "Washing ton that were once worth $50 to $7f. an acre that are now abandoned for agiicultural purposes. And yet there are teachers who tell us that practic ally all soils contain sufficient plant food for good crop yields. lrrr:iK in I'rualnctlvr Power. I have never found a large audience of Illinois landowners which did not have a dozen or more men who could testify from their own knowledge that the average farm lands of New Eng. land. New York, Virginia and other eastern states had markedly decreased in productive power and in value, and yet there are people in , Illinois who feem to think that this condition can never come upon Illinois lauds. ' A few acres of land in New England produce larger crops per acre than some of the great areas of the centrai west, but from $2 to $20 an acre are frequently spent for plat food on the soils of tbe eastern states, where crops are still grown. The yield per acre of corn in Rhode Island and Connecticut is greater than the average yield in Illinois, but the total coin acreage of both states Is less than one-tenth, of the county in Illinois, and this state has more than twice the corn acreage of the six New England states and five eastern states combined. KiiKlnnd'H Secret of l.nrpre Yield. The average yield of wheat in Eng land is reported as 32 bushels per aero, but five of our states including Illinois produce five times as much wheat as England. ' England produces about 50 million bushels but imports about 200 million bushels, half as much corn and almost a, billion pounds of oil cake, besides large quantities of other pro visions.. In addition to the manure saved from these food stuffs the farm ers of England U3e several bundrd tons of commercial plant food an nually. . Belgium, one-fifth the size of Illinois, prcduces 12 million bushels of wheat but imports 00 million of wheat and 2 J million bushels of corn and a hair a billion pounds oi oil cake. Germany produces 125 million bush els of wheat but consumes 200 millior, bushels and imports 40 million bushels of corn, more than a billion pounds of oil cake, etc. Its principal export i two billion pounds of sugar, containing no plant food of value. -Denmark Sarea It Fertility. Denmark produces four million bush ls of wheat but imports five million "bushels, besides 15 million of corn and 800 million pounds of oil cake and ex ports principally 175 million pounds ot butter which contains practically no plant food. The one reason above all others why England produces larger yield than the United States Is because the English farmers use'jdant food' liber ally and persistently, sand the same is true of other small European coun tries.' . ' ii " Those countries that feed practically all they raise and buy iu addition large quantities of fertilizers and other food stuffs from which to produce still larger amounts of manure, can thus make their soils . richer than evr before, but the great agricultural areas of the United. States are being steadily depleted. Why IUUioIm Yields Increase. We must not! be deceived by general statistics. The average yield of co.n in Illinois has increased in the past 10 years but this does not prove that Illinois soils are growing richer. Dur ing these years the corn area of the state has increased from seven million to nine million acres, and the added two million' acres are richest black soil of blue grass, or reclaimed swann hind. Meanwhile tome portions of the older lands are now producing smaller crops. Improvement m seed, in cul tivation and crop rotation have main tained temporarily fairly good yields but have done much to deplete the soil.
