AND A WOMAN'S WORK
LYDIA E. PINKHAM
Nature and a woman's work con•
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
euro disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to -day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that baffle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
Held Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pe-
culiar ills, more potent and efiica•
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. J. M. Tweedale 12 Napanee
Street Toronto, Canada, writes to
Mrs, Pinkhtun:
"I was agreU sufferer from female
troubles, had those dreadful bearing
down pains, and during my monthly
periods I sidere4 so I had to go to bed.
I doctored for a long time but the doc-
tor's
o -tor's treatment failed to help me. My
husband saw Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound advertised and got a
bottle for me. I commented its nee and
soon felt better. I kept on taking it
until I was welt and e,n entirely differ-
ent woman. I alsofound that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made
childbirth mach easier for me. I would
recommend your Vegetable Compound
to every woman who is agitated with
female troubles."
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
ble Compound did for Mra.Tweedale,
it will do for other suffering women.

THE STRAWBERRY CROP
Dealers Predict a Bountiful Supply at a
Price Within the Reach of All—
How to Eat Strawberries and Enjoy
Them.
A glut in the strawberry market is
the prediction of fruit dealers in nearly
all sections of the country. Reports
from the growers of berries indicate
that the coming crop will be better than
for may seasons, and show that a larg.
er acreage has been devoted to the fruit.
It is predicted that lovers of this suc-
culent fruitojn many northern cities will
be able to eat all the good berries they
want,
It is a fact that many persons cannot
eat strawberries without discomfort. The
full enjoyment of this delicious berry is
denied to thousands whose stomachs do
not take kindly to the peculiar acid and
the numberless little seeds which it con-
tains, For these persons the soggy white
flour dough of "short -cake" makes a
bad matter even worse. Almost any
person whose stomach lea not gone out
of business entirely can eat strawberries
and Shredded Wheat Biscuit withper-
fect safety and fullest enjoyment. The
best way to prepare them is to heat
the Biscuit in an oven until the shreds
are crisp, then crush a cavity in the top
of the Biscuit and fill this with the bor•
ries in their own juices; then pour milk
or cream over it, and eweeten to suit
the taste. The combination makes a
most ntholesome and delicious dish—
more easily digested and much more nu-
tritious than the ordinary short -cake.
You ran make the same wholesome
combination with raspberries or any
kind of fresh fruit. A dish that is a
great favorite with noon -day lunchere
is made by partly filling a small bowl
with red raspberries, then covering with
a layer of Shredded Wheat crumbs (made
by crushing two crisp Biscuits in the
handl, then adding a little cream and
sugar. Such a lunch is wholesome and
easily digested. The Shredded Wheat
itself contains more real nutriment than
meat or eggs, and costs much less, while
the fruit adds to its healthfulness and
palatability. A more (deal summer diet
could not bo imagined.

Setting Off Explosives.
There nee two ways in which nn
explosive may be "set off' by burn-
ing and by detonation. The turning
process is progressive from one par-
ticle to another—tis of fire in a grate,
only infinitely more rapid. This pro-
cess is oda tied to gunpowder, requir-
ing ns it goes a very short time for
the burning up of the explosive body.
The other form of explosion—the de-
tonative—being at once throughout
the mass, is unfitted for use in guns
(which would be smashed to pieces),
but is adapted to shattering, or break-
ing, purposes, such as blasting rocks
in nlirrng operations and bursting
charges in shells, torpedoes and sub-
marine mines. Substances of the lat-
ter sort aro termed high explosives
Sonne examples may be given of the
safety with which the most dangerous
explosives may ordinarily be handled.
For instance, a considerable quantity
of guncotton (such ae pure cotton
treated with nitric acid) may be set
fire, and will burn quietly. But if a
sufficient mass be set fire the heat
and pressure on the surface of the
burning body will cause the whole
to be exploded. A torpedo filled with
wet compressed guncotton will not
explode of e shell from r
should penetrate it and burst in the
mass of guncotton. ldv'en alirogr; 0.
erin will burn like oil in small quarl-
tities, and a stick of nitroglycerin may
be set on fire without danger of harm,

across the inside, on which lie the wicks,
