Canton, Ohio. "I suffered from a
female (rouble which caused me much
suitertng, and two
doctors decided
that I would have
to go through an
operation before I
could get well.

had been helped by
Lydia E. Pinkham a
Vegetable Com
pound, advised me
to try it before sub
mitting to an opera
tion. It relieved me
from my troubles
, o I can do my house work without any
' difficulty. I advise any woman who is
afflicted with female troubles to give
Lydia E. Pinkharo's Vegetable Com
pound a trial and it will do as much for
them." Mrs. Maris Boyd, 1421 fith

Last Friday night, the 1st inst
in the High School gymnasium,
amid the r-a-h! r-a-h! rah! rah!
rah! the High School class taught
some very Important points in the
game to the boys of tho Jackson
(Tenn.) High School team. Begin
ning at 8, with a fair-size crowd,
our boys "were never in doubt as to
the result, altfio the visitors put up
a good stout game, which at times
was very swift by both teams. There
shoud be three times as many people
to see such games, for they are very
interesting and easily understood.
You will see life in boys who you
seldom see in a. hurry, but against
swift players like the Jackson boys,
they sure have to uso the ginger.
The score wa3 U. C. H. S. 30; Jack

get Whitson, Richards, Williams
and the other boys for several days
to come, for they were certainly in

Little Myrtle Johnson.
A few days ago Mr. John Holt, of
Number Two, was in the city and
spoke to us of the fact that little
Myrtle Johnson, whose mother lives
In the vicinity of Beulah, was now
enjoying fine health and physical
strength. It will be remembered
that, about two years ago, the little
girl, then about three or four years
old, was in the Physicians and Sur
geons Hospital here under the care
of Mrs. Williams and the local physi
cians. She was crippled so badly
that she couldn't walk or stand on
her feet. She was sent to the hos
pital by the good ladies of Beulah
Church, who provided for treatment
and the care of the little girl, One
of our own people in the hospial at
the time also remembers how the
little girl lay with one foot tied to
the foot of the bed, leg suspended,
one of the moat patient and cheerful
little people we ever saw. She was
there among strangers, but provided
with dolls and candy, and she paused
the time singing and playing as if
she were on the playgrounds with
hundreds cf children. Mr. Holt tells
us that she is now strong and well
and enjoying life as other children
in normal health. This is written
for the purpose of assuring. the good
people who provided for the little
girl that their kindness has brought
one little soul a world of happiness.
Frances Willard Memorial Fund.
What a f ttln-g tribute to Frances
Willard's memory is the Frances B.
Willard Memorial Fund. Thru it
she still lives, for because of its
wide ministrations her blessed work
continues. An intimate literary
friend said to Frances Willard after
she had for a few years been -connected
with the Woman's Christian,,
Temperance Union, "Frances, you
ought to come back into the educa
tional life, for that is where you be
long." Half playfully Francos Wil
lard instantly replied, "You may
walk on the sidewalk with your
high-heel slippers if you please, but
I'm going In the middle of the road,
in, the dust and dirt with the W. C.
T. U. as long as I live." And so she
did.
Medicine vs. Food.
Do not buy something which you
already have. You have food which
you feed your horses, cattle and
sheep, but when you want medicine,
buy only medicine. That is what
you get in B. A. Thomas' Stock
Remedy. We sell it and guarantee
it to be medicine. We tell you that
it will tone np the entire system of
your stock and aids digestion,
thereby causing them to get all the
rood value out of the srra in that
you feed them.
(Adv.) FRANK C. WEHMAN.
