Women in Postal Service.
The distinction of first appointing a
woman postmaster does not belong to
America, nor Is the employment of
women in tlio postal service a new
idea. As early as 1048 a woman post-
master was appointed to look after
the malls of ilraino 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 Kue. From 1(528 to
1046 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
malls. In America, Elizabeth Harvey
was the first to hold a place in the
postal department. She had charge
of tho letters in Portsmouth, N. H., in
the beginning of the seventeenth cen-
tury. A half century afterward I .yd la
Hill was placed in charge of tho 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, tinder 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, slio managed to murmur, al-
though almost unconscious. "Mary,
Mary! Save the yolks for the pud-
dings'. "—Tit-Bits.

Why We Are Stronger.
The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made tho
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
As a matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men—men fed on
line strength making food such as
Quaker Oats—that would win in any
contest with the old lloman or Greek
champions. 2
It's a matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is line 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.

park. Vehicles and horsemen now
have an excellent thoroughfare from
tidewater to Narada falls, near snow
line in Paradise valley. Mr. Rick-
secker says that autos and wagons
an 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.

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-
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker
and had been troubled with her heart
for a number of years, and com-
plained of that 'weak all over' feeling
and sick stomach.
"Soaie time ago I was making an of-
ficial visit to a distant part of the
•ountry and took dinner with one of
'he merchants of the place. I no-
ticed a somewhat peculiar flavor of
.lie coffeo, and asked htm concerning
it He replied that It wad Postum.
"I was so pleased with It, tlint after
he meal was over, 1 bought a pnek-
igo to carry home with me, and had
vife prepare some for the next meal,
("lie whole family liked it so well, that
ve discontinued coffee and used
■ostum entirely.
"I had really been at times very anx-
oiig concerning my mother's condition,
>ut we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with ber
heart and no sick stomach; thnj the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was ag well
and hearty as tho rest of us.
"I know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of tbe fam-
ily, but not In so marked a degree as
In the case of my mother, as she was
a victim of long standing."

"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. I here 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.—"When I first bc**an taking Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound 1 was a total wreck. I liad l>ee
sick for tlireo years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia,
and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor's medicines, but
nothing did me any pood.
"For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would
never {jet well, when I read an advertismcnt of Lydia 15. Pink-
liain's Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it.
"My husband got mo 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. Tliey won't
regret it, for it will surely cure you." — Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks,
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.
