A TEXAS CLERGYMAN
Speaks Out for the Benefit of Suffer-
ing Thousands.
Rev. G. M. Gray, Baptist clergy-
man, of Whitesboro, Tex., says:
"Four years ago I
suffered misery with
lumbago. Every
movement was one
of pain. Doan's Kid-
ney Pills removed
the whole difficulty
after only a short
time. Although I do
Vf 5 not "ke t0 have my
' name used publicly,
I make an exception
In this case, so that other sufferers
from kidney trouble may profit by my
experience."

The Porpoise—I . hear that the
sporty old lobster went all to pieces
In his last days.
The Tortoise—Well, I should say he
did go to pieces, and small pieces.
He ended up in a lobster salad.
Women in Postal Service.
The distinction of first appointing a
woman postmaster does not belong to
America, nor is the employment of
women in the postal service a new
Idea. As early as 1548 a woman post-
master was appointed to look after
the mails of Braine le Comte, an im-
portant town of France. In the try-
ing times of the Thirty Years' war,
the principal office in the postal serv-
ice of Europe was held by a woman,
Alexandrine de Rue. From 1628 to
1G46 she was in charge of the mails
of the German empire, the Nether-
lands, Burgundy and Lorraine. She
was known as a master general of the
mails. In America, Elizabeth Harvey
was the first to hold a place in the
postal department. She had charge
of the letters in Portsmouth, N. H., in
the beginning of the seventeenth cen-
tury. A half century afterward Lydia
Hill was placed in charge of the post-
office in Salem, Mass.
True Thrift.
"When visiting a certain town in the
Midlands," says a medical man, "I was
told of an extraordinary incident
wherein the main figure, an econom-
ical housewife, exhibited, under trying
circumstances, a trait quite character-
istic of her. It seems that she had by
mistake taken a quantity of poison-
mercurial poison—the antidote for
which, as all should know, comprises
the whites of eggs. When this anti-
dote was being administered, the order
for which the unfortunate lady had
overheard, she managed to murmur, al-
though almost unconscious. "Mary.
Mary! Save the yolks for the pud-
dings!"—Tit-Bits.
LOW COLONIST FARES TO THE
WEST AND NORTHWEST.
Union Pacific Passenger Depart
ment announces that Colonist Fares
will be in effect from Sept. 15 to Oct.
15, 1909, to all points in the West and
Northwest.
This year the West looks more
promising than ever. Now is the time
to secure land at low prices, and, at
the same time, to visit the many inter-
esting points in the West and North-
west, at which liberal stopover ar-
rangements may be made.
A better estimate of raw lands can
be made now than formerly, because
these lands are in proximity to new
farms that are producing wonderful
crops.

No Short Haul for Him.
"This is where you get off," said the
railroad conductor.
"But I haven't rid fur enough," said
the Billville man.
"Can't help that. You can't go any
further on this ticket."
"My friend," said the man, "it's the
furst time 1 ever rid on a railroad
train, an' ef you ain't a better man
than what I am I'm a-goin' to set right
here till I see whar the road ends. I
know it must end some're, an' I'm curi-
ous to see whar. Here's one more
dollar. Now, go 'long an' let me
alone!"
Why We Are Stronger,
The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
As a matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men—men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats—that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions. 2
It's a matter of fo.od. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm-
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you are convenient
to the store buy the regular size pack-
ages; if not near the store, buy the
large size family package; if in a hot
climate, the hermetically sealed tins.
By Automobile Up Mount Rainier.
United States Engineer Eugene Rick-
secker celebrated Independence day
by throwing open the government
road in the Mount Rainer National
park. Vehicles and horsemen now
have an excellent thoroughfare from
tidewater to Narada falls, near snow
line in Paradise valley. Mr. Rick
seeker says that autos and wagons
can now make the trip with comfort.
The maximum grade on the road is
four per cent. Nearly a score of au-
tomobiles, all loaded, went to the
mountain.
Troubles of People on Venus.
Inhabitants of Venus, if there are
any, must feel it extremely difficult to
establish units of time. Venus always
turns the same face toward the sun;
so the planet has no day, and the
lack of a moon deprives it of a month.
Finally, it has no year, for its axis of
rotation is perpendicular to the plane
of its orbit, and the latter is almost
circular.
"Seeing Is Believing."
Herodotus: We are less convinced
by what we hear than by what we
see.
PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.
When prominent men realize the in-
jurious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools In
North Carolina says:
"My mother since her early child-
lood, was an inveterate coffee drinker
ind had been troubled with her heart
or a number of years, and com-
ilained of that 'weak all over' feeling
ind sick stomach.
"Some time ago I was making an of-
icial visit to a distant part of the
ountry and took dinner with one of
he merchants of the place. I no-
iced a somewhat peculiar flavor of
he coffee, and asked him concerning
t. He replied that it was Postum.
"I was so pleased with it, that after
he meal was over, I bought a pack-
ge to carry home with me, and had
ife prepare some for the next meal,
he whole family llkred it so well, that
e discontinued coffee and used
'ostum entirely.
"I ljad really been at times very anx-
ius concerning my mother's condition,
ut we noticed that after using
'ostum for a short time, she felt so
mch better than she did prior to its
se, and had little trouble with her
leart and no sick stomach; that the
i adaches were not so frequent, and
i r general condition much improved,
liis continued until she was as well
nd hearty as the rest of us.
"I know Postum has benefited my
elf and the other members of the fam-
ly, but not in so marked a degree as
in the case of my mother, as she was
a victim of long standing."

It Keeps Them Off
They are pretty bad this year—no
mistake—and they bite viciously. We
refer to Mosquitoes, but a little Hunt's
Lightning Oil applied to the irritated
places takes the sting away. It keeps
them off if used in time.
A Sign of It.
"The airship manufacturer over the

"Why?"
j "I notice he and his family are fly-
^ ing very high."
" Do you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound? "
If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar
to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be
surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this famous old remedy, made
exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs.
During the past 30 years we have published thousands
of letters from these grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never
in all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly
published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's experi-
ence with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write
and ask her.
Houston, Texas.—" Wlien I first liegan talunfj Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck, I had been
sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia,
and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor's medicines, but
nothing- did me any good.
"For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would
never get well, when I read an advertisment of Lydia L,. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it.
"My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did
me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman
and enjoy the best of health.
"I advise all women suffering from such troubles to give
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. They won't
regret it, for it will surely cure you." — Jlrs. Bessie JL. llicks,
819 Cleveland St., Houston.
Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely
not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it
not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.
