have been built and marketed by the

trio of auto makers will have passed
the mark which is double the output
of 1912. During the coming year 3,-
600 Velie motor vehicles are to be put
on the market, as against 2,200 for
the last year. But 200 Midland cars
were made this year, but present
plans embrace work for 250 men and
manufacture of 1,400 cars. The Mo
line Automobile company built 782
machines this year, and will raise the
mark to 1,000 during 1913.

Read About These Three Girls. How Sick
They Were and How Their Health
Was Restored by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Appleton. Wis. " I take pleasure in writing you
en urcount of my sickness. I told a friend of mine
how I felt and tlie paid I had female trouble and
advised me to use Lydia E. llnkham'a Vegetable
lompouna, as ho Lua taken It nerseli for the came
trouble with wonderful results. I had been sickly
for two years and overworked myBelf. and had such
bad feelings every month that I could hardly walk
for pain. I was very nervous and easily tired out
and could not 6leen nichts. I had dizzv swells, and
M pimples came on my face. But I hava taken your
JLA 1 j dia K. llnkham's Vegetable Compound and it-has
restored my health. 1 think it is the best medicine in existence."
Lluw CtciLU. M. Hauek, 1101 Lawrence fct, Appleton, WL3.
A SCHOOL TEACHER'S GRATITUDE:
Genera, Iowa. 1 have tieeu teaching 6chool for some years and I
bave neglected my health because I was too busy with my work to
attend to myself properly. I suffered greatly every month and waa
on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
"I wrote to you alout my condition and took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and the Blond Iuriner as you recommended.
These remedies have done wonders for me and I can highly and
widely recommend them to every suffering woman." ilifis Alixsis
Shaves, It. h D. No. 1, Genera, Iowa, co tarn Erickson.
A COLORADO GIRL'S CAS El
Montrose, Col. I was troubled very much with irregular periods.
Sometimes two months would elapse. I suffered 6evere headache,
Was weak and nervous, could eat scarcely anything.
I took both Lydia E. llnkham's Vegetable Compound and Blood
rurifler and the result was wonderful. I feel like another person.
"I think your remedies are the Ixst on earth and cannot express
my thankfulness to you for what they have done to me. I help my
neifb.lors when they are sick, and I shall alway9 recommend your
medicines." iLs Ella JIcCaxdless, ilontrose, CoL
Is it not reasonable to suppose that a medicine that did
so much for these girls will benefit any other girl who is
suffering with the same troubles?
Does it not seem the only sensible thing to give such a
medicine at least a trial ? You may be sure that it can do
you no harm, and there are lots of proof that it will do
you much good.
For 30 rears Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has be?u t lie standard remed v for fe
male ills. No one sick with woman's ailments
dors justice to herself who will not try this fa
mous medicine, made from rnnti And harh. i
has rettored so many suffering women to health.

WHEN YOUR HAIR BRUSHES OUT
Your hair is as sensitive as your skin
even more so. It stands up under heavy
hats, curling irons, and diseases of the
scalp, etc. But there is a limit.
When you comb and brush your hair la
the morning, watch for tbe "TRAILERS"
that turn grey, fall out, and comb out with
the first morning brush.
You MUST know that there's something
wrong. 'If your hair was in good health,
it wouldn't fall out, nature never intended
that. There is something wrong at the root
of things-the hair needs a tonic-a restorer.
When you are sick you take medicine.
That it your first thought. Its turning grey,
falling out, are both ways the hair has of
"complaining of illness. " It can't do It
