The New Dress Goods and Silks HEALTH OF WOMEN In this nineteenth century to keep up with the march of progress every power of woman is strained to its utmost, and the tax upon her physical system is far greater than ever. In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers few drugs were used inonedicines.

They relied upon roots and herbs to cure weaknesses and disease, and their knowledge of roots and herbs was far gr-ater than that of women today. It was in this study of roots and herbs that Lydia E. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass discovered a.d gave to the women of the wor'1 a remedy more potent and efficacious than any combination of drugs.

The new weaves, the new shades, the new combinations for street and evening wear and for trimming, most of them exclusive, all of them, admirable in taste and "Stunning" That is the word which irresistibly escapes from the lips of every woman who has viewed the new Fall dress goods and silks we are now showing. PI Tkere Is Character In Onr Garment. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Is an honest, tried and true remedy of unquestionable therapeutic value.

This medicine made from native roots and herbs contains no narcotics or other harmful drus and today holds the record for the largest number of actual cures of female diseases of any medicine the world has ever known, and thousands of voluntary testimonials are on file in the laboratory at Lynn, which testify to its wonderful value. Mrs. C. E. Fink, of Carnegie, writes: Dear Mrs.

Pinkham: "I wish every suffering woman would take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and write to you for advice. It has done me a world of good and what it has accomplished for me I know it will do for others." When women are troubled with Irregularities, Displacements, Ulceration, Inflammation. Backache.

Out of her vast volume of experience she probably has the very knowledge that will help your The work of installing the new fog signal bell on the light house at the south end of the breakwater, which has been in progress during the last three weeks under the supervision of W. Gray Verner, United States superintendent of light houses, was completed Saturday afternoon, and Mr. Werner left for his home in Stapleton, N. yesterday morning on the government boat Nettle.

A new Gamewell striking apparatus was also installed on Juniper Island at tho same time with the one on the breakwater. On the invitation of Superintendent Verner, a Free Press representative made the trip Saturday afternoon to the south light and Juniper Island to inspect the signal bells, and to get a general idea of the manner in Which they are operated during foggy weather. Leaving the foot of King street, the first stop was made at the south light. The fog bell has been erected on the wast face of the tower, and is supported by a framework of heavy timbers, which suspend the bell 23 feet above the level of high water. The bell itself weighs 412 pounds, and is placed close under the lantern deck of the tower in order to deflect the sound to the north, west and south, the directions ia which it is most necessary for its tones to be heard by an approaching steamer.

The bell is struck by a heavy hammer which is operated by a Gamewell striking apparatus and during thick or foggy weather strikes a double blow every 12 seconds. The apparatus is worked by means of heavy weights, operated by an automatic CITY HEWS. Want ads. introduce those on "property-quests" to those on "tenant-quests." Dr. O.

St. Michael's and Varsity Seconds Divide Honors Notes. In a loose though hotly contested game St. Michael's College and the the Varsity Seconds divided honors Sit-urday afternoon at the Centennial Field. Neither side was able to navigate the ball over theh opoxising JJne.

Team work was erratic the ball oscillating back and forth In the middle of the field, each side frequently fumbling. 'Attempts to circle extremities were fruitless because of lack effectual Interference and the forward pass proved disastrous as the ball usually plumped Into the wrong man's arms. The only play that bordered on the sensational was a 40 yard run by Dower of St. Michael's, which was terminated by a splendid head long tackle by "Fritzie" Hands. For St.

Michael's Gauvreau, Dower and Ryan were the main stays HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. One of the features of the game with Brlgham Academy Saturday wa3 the work of Meack who played left guard for the high school. This was the big fellow's first school game and he certainly made good. Hs broke through several times before the quarterback could give the ball to the runner ajid thus broke up the play. Two more games have been added to the foot ball schedule.

The first is to be played October 26 with Goddard Seminary at Barre, while tie same teams will play in this city on November 9. There will be no school Friday of the week because of the teachers' convention which is to be held In this city at that time. It is also probable that the session will be cut short on Thursday. At the music period next Thursday it is expected that a large number of out-of-town teachers will be present. A committee of three girls has been appointed by the principal to make a list of selections for the classes to sing at that time.

t. I from the south on Saturday, the tones of the bell could be heard at a distance of over a mile and a half. The bell will go into operation about October 21, and will be in charge of Light-Keeper Charles Chiott. The striking apparatus which operates the bell was installed at a cost of J250, exclusive of the bell itself and other paraphernalia required for properly installing it. The second stop was made at Juniper island, where Superintendent Verner went to pick up his force of men who had just completed putting in a new striking apparatus for operating the fog bell there, in place of the old style Stevens machine which has been in use many years.

The old bell and other apparatus will still be used there. This bell is much heavier than the one on the breakwater, weighing over 900 pounds, and the signal here is one blow every 15 seconds during heavy weather. The bell on the island is in charge of Light Keeper H. L. Perry, who keeps bachelor hall, doing his own housework and cooking, and who showed the Free Press representative about the well-kept house, and incidentally displayed a row of fresh pies, loaves of bread and several kinds of cake which might have excited the envy of many a good house-wiie.

A trip was made into the tower, where the manner of operating the light was thoroughly explained by Mr. Verner in a most interesting manner, after which the return trip was made to Burlington. Superintendent Verner has seen E3 years of service as a seaman, having been with Farragut during the Civil War, ajid losing a leg in the battle of Mobile Bay. He entered the navy at an early age and has been on the water constantly ever since. As he expressed it "in every hole and comer of the earrti where salt water flows." He is superintendent of all light houses controlled by the United States, and relates many interesting incidents of the trips he has made.
