snow started Monday evening and continued all night until the streets were piled high in places and the walks were in bad shape for pedes­trians.

Miss Agnes Miller, of Chicago, speaks to young women about dangers of the Menstrual Period — how to avoid pain and suffering and remove the cause by using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound*

"To Touno Woxsh:—I suffered for six years with dysmenor­rhea (painful periods), so much so that I dreaded every month, as I knew it meant three or four days of intense pun. The doctor said this was due to an inflamed condition of the uterine appendages caused by repeated and neglected colds.

44 If younp girls only realized how dangerous it is to take oold at this critical tune, much suffering would be spared them. Thank God for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound* that was the only medicine which helped me any. Within three weeks after I started to take it, I noticed a marked improvement in my general health, Mid at the time of my next monthly period the pain haa diminished consider-ably. I kept up the treatment, and was cured a month later. I am like

i A

another person sinoe. I am in perfect health, my eyes are brighter, I have added 12 pounds to my weight, my color is good, and I feel light and happy."—-Miss Aonzs Miixaa, 35 Potomac Ave., Chioago, I1L

The monthly sickness reflects the condition of a woman's health. Anything unusual at that time should have prompt and proper attention. Fifty thousand letters from women prove that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound regulates men­struation and makes those periods pnlnlc

BEAD WHAT MISS UHDBEOK SAYS: "Dub Mrs. Pikkhah:—Lydia E. Pink*

ham's Vegetable Compound has greatly bene-fitted me. I will tell you how I suffered. Mv trouble was painful menstruation. I felt as each month went by that I was getting worse. I had severe bearing-down pains in my back and abdo- % men.

tt A friend advised me to try Mrs. Pinkham's medicine. I did so and am now free from all > pain during my periods."—Jxssrc C. Lindbxcx, * 1201 6th Street, Kockford, 111.

FROZEN ALFALFA.

In Montana, during the last few weeks, the sheep have been dying in large numbers,the cause being a mys­tery to their owners until recently. It is now said to be due to a poison in the frozen alfalfa upon which the sheep feed. The sheep men are now anxiously searching for a method whereby the poison, which seems to enter the alfalfa upon its freezing, can be eradicated. As the sheep industry is one of the mainstays of Montana,the importance of this mat­ter to that state can be readily ap­preciated.
