WOMAN WOULD
NOT 6IVE UP
Though Sickand Suffering; At
Last Found Help in Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
ble Compound.
Richmond, Pa. — " When I started
taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound I was in a
dreadfully rundown
state of health,
had internal trou-
bles, and was so ex-
tremely nervous and
prostrated that if I
had given in to my
feelings I would
have been in bed.
As it was I had
hardly strength at
times to be on my
feet and what I did do was by a great
effort I could not sleep at night and
of course felt very bad in the morning,
•nd had a steady headache.
"After taking the second bottle I no-
ticed that the headache was not so bad,
1 rested better, and my nerves were
stronger. I continued its use until it
made a new woman of me, and now I
can hardly n ze that I am able to do
00 much as I do. Whenever I know any
woman in need of a good medicine I
highly praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg-
etable Compound." — Mrs. Frank
Clark, 3146 N. Tulip St, Richmond,Pa.
Women Have Been Telling Women

Oklahoma City.—Oklahoma melons
are to be introduced into all the mar-
kets of the east and north this year.
Grown, graded, shipped and marketed
scientifically, Oklahoma melons will
become the standard by which melons
are Judged. They will be marketed at
points where the demand Is greatest
and the growers will receive uniform
reasonable prices for their products.
This change from the haphazard
methods now in use will be the result,
say the organizers, of the working out
of plans of the marketing organization
which the melon growers of the larg
est district in the state are forming.
During the week Just past local or
ganiza^ions of melon growers have
been formed In Marlow, Ninnekah,
Rush Springs, Alex and Terral. Other
sections will be organized after which
delegates from local branches will
meet and form a state association.
At the meetings held in the dis-
trict named E. R. Bennett, horticul
turist for the Rock Island lines, and
F. D. Cottrell, assistant, have out-
lined the details of marketing organ-
izations which have proven successful
In other regions. The growers have
become enthusiastic and seventy of
those who will plant large acreages
have Joined the local organizations.
By joining interests as have the
fruit growers of the west and north-
west, the melon growers plan to avoid
losses due to flooded markets and lm
proper shipping which characterized
the melon growing industry in the
past.
By the co-operation of growers in
each district cars of melons of uni-
form size may be shipped. Experts
will supervise the packing and ship-
ping so that there will be little loss
from bruising and breaking. Daily re-
ports from the principal markets
gained from association agents and
railroad sources will be obtained in
order to prevent any over supply and
consequent drop In prices In any one
market.
Agents at all principal melon mar-
kets will investigate all cases of "re-
fused cars." Last year the growers
sustained iarge losses from the ship-
ping of cars which were refused by
commission men and which proved
total losses. These and other details
of marketing will be handled through
the central selling agency.
At the meeting last week the grow^
ers who were active in forming the
associations asserted that they in-
tended to plant smaller Individual
acreages this year but would devote
greater care to the selection of seed
and methods of cultivation.

PLANNING THE 1914 AUTO RACES
Disbrow to Return to Eighth Okla-
homa State Fair
A number of automobile stars will
again thrill thousands at the eighth
annual Oklahoma State Fair, accord-
ing to announcement just made by
Secretary Mahan. A contract has
been signed for Louis Disbrow, the
world's champion circular dirt track
driver, who made new gasoline his-
tory at the State Fair last year by
smashing the half-mile track record.
Negotiations are now under way for
several other stars in the racing game
and it is proposed to make the 1914
automobile meet^the greatest in the
history of the southwest.
In addition to Disbrow, who will
bring his Simplex Zip in which he
made one mile in 1 minute and 5 3-5
seconds last year, lowering his own
world's record by two-fifths of a sec-
ond, at least three other great head-
liners will enter. The chances are
that all of the famous drivers that
entered last year will enter again this
year, the State Fair announcing that
it will hang out prizes worth double
the rich purses offered last year.
A CHARTER ELECTIOR IS CALLER
Muskogee Citizens Will Cast Their
Ballots On March 17.
Muskogee.—By a unanimous vots
the city council passed an ordinance
referring to the people an amend
ed charted, the election to be held
before the primary, March 17. The
amended charter as prepared essen-
tially changes the form of govern-
ment. Two commissioners will be
abolished and each remaining officer
will have complete charge of his de-
partment. The mayor will have charge
of the budget.
The two commissioners' terms whose
expire next month are to be abolished.
The change was made in rather sud-
den manner and several candidates
for the two places are now out cam-
paigning. If the amended charter is
adopted they will be running tor an
office that does not exist.
True Blue.
He was In N«w York on a visit,
coming from a small town in Connec-
ticut which still retains her traditions
of the Blue Laws. He was Invited to
spend a whole day at our minister's,
who had a little boy about his own
age. We asked him when he got back
If he had had a good time, and he re-
plied with great enthusiasm, "Yes."
Then he began to look puzzled as if
trying to account for the fact that he
really did have a good time in a min-
ister's family, and said, apparently
talking to himself, "They are the best
people for Christians that I ever
knew."—New York Evening Post.
Prosperity Communistic.
A man cannot prosper In any honest
business without benefiting the com-
munity as well as himself. For he can-
not Induce men to deal with him with-
out offering them an advantage; and,
taking all the transactions of life to*
gether, the advantages which men offer
to others must, on the whole, be equal
to those which they receive them-
selves.
Doing business, therefore, is a very
effectual and extended mode of doing
good; and the fortune which is ac-
quired In doing it is, in a very impor-
tant sense, the measure and index of
the good done.—Jacob Abbott

"For many yeara I had used coffee
and refused to be convinced of ita bad
effect upon the human system," writes
a veteran school teacher.
"Ten yeara ago I was obliged to
give up my much-loved work in the
public schools after yeara of continu-
ous labor. I had developed a well de-
fined case of chronic coffee poisoning.
"The troubles were constipation,
flutterlngs of the heart, a thumping
in the top of my head, and various
parts of my body, twitching of my
limbs, shaking of my head and, at
times after exertion, a general "gone"
feeling, with a toper's desire for very
strong coffee. I was a nervous wreck
for years.
"A short time ago friends came to
visit us and they brought a package
of Postum with them, and urged me
to try it I was prejudiced because
some years back I had drunk a cup of
weak, tasteless stuff called Poatum
which I did not like at alL
"This time, however, my friends
made the Postum according to direc-
tions on the package, and It won me
Soon I found myself improving la 4
most decided fashion.
"The odor of boiling coffee no long-
er tempts me. I am so greatly bene
fited by Poatum that if I continue to
Improve aa I am now. I'll begin to
think I have found the Fountain of
Perpetual Youth. This is no fancy
letter but stubborn facta which 1 am
glad to make known."
