THE LEXINGTON LEADER
SUFFERED SEVEN
LONG YEARS
Finally Relieved by taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Ravenswood, W. Va. — "For seven long
years I suffered from a female trouble
land inflammation so
lthat 1 was not able
| to do my housework.
II consulted several
(doctors but none
I seemed to give me
| relief. I read in a
paper about Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vege-
Itable Compound so
II decided to try it,
land before the first
J bottle was gone I
■found great relief so
I continued using it until I had taken
eight bottles. Now I am very well and
can do my own housework. I can gladly
recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's medicine
to suffering women." —Mrs. Bertha
Liering, R. P. D., Ravenswood,W. Va.
The ordinary day of most housewives
la a ceaseless treadmill of washing,
cooking, cleaning, mending, sweeping,
dusting and caring for little ones. How
much harder the tasks when some de-
rangement of the system causes head-
aches, backaches, bearing-down pains
and nervousness. Every such woman
should profit bv Mrs. Liering's experi-
ence. Remember this, for over lorty
years Lydia E. PinkViam's Vegetable
Compound has been restoring health.

BOSCHEE'S SYRUP
Allays Irritation, Soothes and Heal*
Throat and Lung Inflammation.
The almost constant Irritation of a
cough keeps the delicate mucous mem-
brane of the throat and lungs in a con-
gested condition, which Boschee's Syrup
gently and quickly soothes and heals.
For this reason It has been a favorite
household remedy for colds, coughs,
bronchitis and especially for lung
troubles in millions of homes all over
the world for the last flfty-flve years,
enabling the patient to obtain a good
night's rest, free from coughing, with
easy expectoration In the morning.
You can buy Boschee's Syrup wherever

Time Kept by Standard Clocks.
The time of the whole of the United
States east of the Rockies is regulated
by three -standard clocks kept In an
underground vault at the naval obser-
vatory In Washington. These clocks
are wound by electricity, and their
beats are transmitted electrically
throughout the observatory; the vault
Is never entered except In cases of
emergency.

There Was No Reply,
Robert Itrry, age six, is the son
of Paul Perry, of Greensburg. Like
all boys ofllschool age, he is of an
inquisitive turn of mind, and frequent-
ly asks questions of his father which
bring only a grunt In reply.
At dinner the other evening Rob-
ert was eating steak.
"Papa, what Is steak? Where does
It come from?"
That was an easy one for papa,
and he promptly responded:
"From cows, son."
But he was not prepared for the
next one:
"From our two cows, papa?"

cide that there Is nothing better than
the work you are doing and that you
make your own opportunities by the

Daily Short Story.
Potlphar Wampoodle had words with
his wife at breakfast about the way
the eggs were cooked.
"I'm tired of this sort of thing," he
declared. "From here I go to the
river."
So he did.
He loafed around the river front,
kidded the boatmen, and even accepted
a little guaranteed hootch.
It was very late when he wended
his way homeward.
Then he had words with his wife
about some alleged pork chops he
found on the supper table.—Louisville
Courier-Journal.
First "Weather Man."
An Englishman, Francis Galton, was
the first real weather man. Galton
was a cousin of Charles Darwin. He
was born in England In 1824. Whether
he was really able to forecast rain
and sunshine with more accuracy than
his successors Is an open question;
but It Is certain that he was the first
to attempt the charting, on a large
scale, of the progress of the elements
of weather. The methods devised by
him, In modified form, are used to this
day.
NOVEMBER
The pine giues up ihe hoarding of the clod
And autumn's golden boiul is brimming o'er;
A peace is in the air where pine trees nod;
A silence croons where summer sang before.
And fodder shocks, like sentinels on guard,
Stand watchfully through wind and rain and
cold;
A noiseless bee alights on broken shard
But bud and bloom are gone—the gear is old

Presidential Proclamations Are

State Department Specialist Draw*
Them Up Before They Are Submit-

It Is a mistake to suppose that the
annual Thanksgiving proclamation
of the President of the United
States is always written or dictated by
the President. As a matter of fact,
about all the President has to do with

composition of the Thanksgiving proc-

the State department at Washington.
He endeavors, year after year, to ex-
press practically the same sentiments
In an entirely new way, or at least
without repeating verbatim anything
that had been said in previous Thanks-
giving proclamations. And, as may be
readily understood, this task Is be-

Why guess about it—
When you can know about it?
Suppose a guide said—
"This way there's a safe and pleasant
.oad to your destination, with no risks or
troubles on the way," and—
"That way there's a road that a good
many have stalled on and turned back
from, but you may get through."
Which would you take?
Postum is a thoroughly agreeable and
satisfying meal-time drink, .and you're
sure that it's perfectly safe for health.
Coffee contains drug qualities which dis-
turb and harm the health of many.
Postum or coffee? Which road?
Why guess when you can know?
Poaturn comes in two forms: Instant Postum (in tins)
tnade instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling water.
Postum Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for those who
prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared)

cesslve annual call for a day of re-
joicing and thanksgiving.
The first Thanksgiving proclama-
tion ever issued by a President of
the United States was signed by
George Washington, and the original
document is preserved In the library
of the State department. The first
draft of the proclamation started off:
"In the calamities which affilct so
many of the nations;" but Attorney-
General Edward Randolph <lid not

respective religious assemblies their
humble adoration of the Great Sov-
ereign of the Universe, of confessing
their sins and transgressions and of
strengthening their vows of repentance
and amendment. • • • They will be
invited by the same solemn occasion
to call to mind the distinguished
favors conferred on the American
people—in their security and In the

calamities which afllict so many other
nations, the present condition of the

Issued on .Tan. 1, 1795, and set apart
the following Feb. 19 as a day for
thanksgiving and prayer.
Any one who desires to see all the
Thanksgiving proclamations Issued by
Presidents of the United States will
find them preserved In red leather
volumes In the State department.
Some years ago, observes a writer
of national reputation, I had the rare
pleasure of having an official of the
State department show to me the
proclamations issued relative to
Thanksgiving day. They are all
handsomely bound In red leather
keepers, and It was gratifying to sec
with what care these documents were
kept. Even the one Issued by Presi-
dent George Washington was there in
all its glory. But it was not coneern-
Calumet possesses the farthest-
reaching baking powder economy. It is
the most economical leavening agent. It saves
in more ways—and makes more important sav-
ings than most other baking powders.
You save when you buy it. The price is
moderate—it leaves you money over the cost of
high-priced brands for purchase of other articles.
Costs but little more than cheap powders—far more
valuable in quality.
You save when you use it. Possesses
more than the ordinary raising force—you use
only half as much as is ordinarily required..
You save materials it is used with. Calumet
never fails with any kind of recipe or with any
kind of flour — always produces perfectly raised, de-
licious bakings.
You'll notice a great difference when vou use Calumet
Calumet produces light, sweet, wholesome, flaky bak-
ings. You will notice with some of the cheaper
brands the bakings are soggy, heavy, dark in color,
and sometimes have a bitter taste.
Used by leading
chefs and domes-
tic scientists, and
by more house*
wives than any
other brand. Made
in the world's
largest and finest
baking powder
plants.

served on Feb. 19, 1795, and dated
January, 1795.
The other Presidents Intermittent-

of prayer, and I was curious to know
Just what engaged the attention of
President James Madison in 1810, Just
100 years ago, and it has, in part,
these good lines:

may have opportunity of voluntarily

tion of our country—to safety against
dangers from nbroad."
While George Washington origi-
nated the custom of Thanksgiving, i
many of his immediate successors did ;
not follow his example, and It was
not until Abraham Lincoln became
President that the annual Thanksglv- I
lng as a November holiday became a
regular Institution In the United
States.
