THE TRIALS OF

How They Have Been Endured and How Overcome by

about Lydia E Pinkham 's Vegetabh
Compound and the eood it was doinf

results from it and will always rec

as a testimonia, if you wish." —Mrs.

Made well by Lydia K, 1'ink-
hain's Vegetable Componnd:
Fayette,O. — ' For about threeyeara
I was very nervous and had backache,
iideache, dragging-down pains, could
not sleep at night, and had no appe-
tite. At times I could hardly do my housework. 1 got medicine from the
doctor butit did not help me. 1 saw Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Coir: ound
advertised in a newspaper and took it with pood results, and am now able to
do my housewnrk. 1 recommend your medicine to my friends and you may
publish my testimonial."—Mrs. Chester A. Ball. R. 15, Fayette, Ohio.
An Illinois woman relates her experience:
Bloomington, 111. —"I was never very strong and female trouble kept m«
«o weak 1 had no interest in my housework. 1 had such a backache 1 could
not cook a meal or sweep a room without raging with pain. Rubbing my
back with alcohol sometimes eased the pain for a few hours, but did not stop
it. 1 heard of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and six bottles of it
have made me as strong and healthy as any woman ; and I give my thanks to
it for my health."—Mrs. J.A.McQuiTTY, 610 W. Walnut St.,Bloomington, 111.
The conditions described by Mrs. Cassen. Mrs. Ball, and Mrs. McQuitty wil!
appeal to many women who struggle on with their daily tasks in just such con-
ditions—in fact, it is said that the tragedy in the livesof some women is almost
beyond belief. Day in and day out they slave in their homes for their families
—and beside the daily routine of housework, often make clothes for them-
selves and for their children, or work in their gardens, all the while suffering
from those awful bearing-down pains, backache, heada hes. nervousness, the
blues, and troubles which sap the very foundation of life until there comes a
time when nature gives out and an operation seems inevitable. If such
women would only profit by the experience of then* three women and remem-
ber that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the natural restorative
for such conditions it may save them years of suffering and unhappiness.
There is hardly a neighborhood in any town or hamlet in the United States
wherein some woman does not reside who has been restored to health by this
famous medicine. Therefore ask vour neighbor, and you will find in a great
many cases that at some time or other she, too, has been benefited by taking it,
andwill recommend it to you. Formore than fortyvears this old-fashioned root
and herb medicine hasbeen restoring suffering women to health and strength.

HERE'S A TIP FOR MOTHERS

The most embarrassing moment of
my life was when a new stenographer
came to work for my boss. About
noon of her first day with us I wrote

she read the note.
When I came out of my bos-' office
she said, "There Is a note of yours

CORN CROP IS ABOVE AVERAGE
AUGUST TEMPERATURE WAS
VERY FAVORABLE
The Tota Crop for Th s Year Is Now
Estimated Near Four Bil-
lion Bushels.
Washington.- Preliminary estim-
ates of this year's production of
winter wheat and ha> and forecasts
for other crops, based on their condi-
tion on September 1, were announced
by the department of agriculture as
follows:
Winter wheat. 514.000,000 bushels;
spring wheat, 210.000,000; all wheat
754.000,000.
Corn, 3,186.000,000.
The 1921 corn crop as forecast is
only 48,000,000 bushels less than the
crop of last year which broke all
records and is 388.000,000 bushels
above the five-year averaee. The Im-
provement in August was ascribed by
the department to temperatures and
rains which has been lackine through-
out a good portion of the season.
Drouth Hurts Wheat.
The spring wheat prospects declin-
t-'i 3,1100.000 since the August forecast
Jue largely to the heat and drouth.
The oats crop on the basis of the
figures announced, was a short one,
346.0Ci0,000 bushels less than last year
and 343,000,000 bushels below the
year average.
In a statement conimentinc on Sep-
tember 1 crop conditions the depart-
ment of agriculture said:
"Corn has been materially benefit-
ter by the favoring temperatures and
rains of August. All told the month's
changes have increased the already
excellent prospects by 154,000.000
bushels, more than offsetting the July
decline. The total of 3,186,000,000
bushels now indicated is only 48j000,-
000 bushels less than the record crop
of last year. It is 388.000,000 bushels
above the five year average
Northern Belt Favorable.
"The prospects are especially fav-
01 able in the northern portions of the
corn belt from Vermont to New York
through to North Dakota, the growth
being generally excellent while grain
is promised full maturity.
"In Minnesota and North Dakota
the largest part of the crop seems
now to be out of danger of frost.
In Indiana and Illinois, particularly
it Is noted that nubbins and barren
stalks are numerous
"On the other hand the great seed
crop, oats, is a short crop. Oats are
threshing out less than expected
showing a loss of 47,000,000 bushels
from last month's forecast from hous-
es partially neutralizing the month's
gain in corn The crop indicated 436,-
00O.000 bushels less than last year
and 343.000,000 bushels less than the
five year average.
"Kaffir corn also has declined 3,-
000,000 bushels and the forecast 19
17,000,000 bushels less than last year
though 41,000,000 bushels above the
average.
"The sprine wheat has declined 3,-
000,000 bushels and the results of the
earlier heat and drouth have become
more apparent.
"The prospects for other small
grains remained unchanged or are
slightly decreased,,
"Date potatoes have benefitted
from the rains with a resulting in.
crease of 7,000,000 bushels. The pres-
ent forecast of 322,000,000 bushels re-
mains extremely snmll compared to
the live year average of 371,000,000
bushels. Last year it was 428,000,000
bushels. The sweet potato crop is
4,i'00.000 bushels less than last
uionth."

The Folly of Cheating Nature
Many people get the
idea that they can keep
their nerves on edge and
their digestion upset year
after year, and "get away
with it." They sleep only
half as much as they
should — and never get
properly and thoroughly
rested.
If you tire out easily,
if you are getting pale and
anemic, if your food
doesn't digest as it should,
would it not be well to
stop and consider whether
coffee or tea is having its
effect on you?
The caffeine and thein
found in coffee and tea
are drugs, as any doctor
can tell you. Is it any
wonderthat thesteady use
of these drugs sometimes
causes serious damage?
If you really want to
be fair with yourself, and
give yourself the oppor-
tunity you deserve in
order to do your best
work, make up your mind
to quit coffee and tea for
awhile—and drink delici-
ous, appetizing Postum
instead.
Postum permits
sound, refreshing sleep
which builds strength,
energy and endurance.
Order Postum from
your Grocer today. Drink
this hot, refreshing bever-
age in place of tea or coffee
for 10 days and see what
a wonderful difference it
will make in the way you
feel.
Postum comes In two
forms: Instant Postum (in tins)
madn instantly in the cup by
the addition of boiling water.
Postum Cereal (in packages of
larger bulk, for those who pre-
fer to make the drink while tha
meal is being prepared) made
by boiling for 20 minutes.
