rlopef isl Words to Childless Women
The darkest days of husband and wife are when they come to look forward
to a childless and desolate old age
Manv a wife has found herself incapable of
motherhood to some Great lack of
strength in the organs of generation Such a
condition is nearly always due to long con
tinued neglect of the plainest warnings
Frequent backache and distressing pains
accompanied by offensive discharges
and generally by irregular and scanty
menstruation indicate a nerve de
generation of the womb and sur
rounding organs that unless speedily
checked will result in barrenness
Head Mis Wilsons letter
DeabMrs Pinkiiam Noone could
have suffered from female troubles
more than I I had tumors on the
womb my ovaries were diseased
and for fifteen years I was a burden
to myself I was operated upon
ythree different times with only
temporary relief also tried
many doctors Lydia E Pink
hams Vegetable Compound
was recommended to me by a
lady friend and after taking
Modern science and past experience have produced aothing so effective in
treating diseases of the female organs as Lydia E Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound and Sanative Wash used according to special directions
If you know any woman who is suffering and who is unable to secure relief
or who is sorrowful because she believes herself barren tell her to write to
Mrs Pinkham at Lynn Mass and ask her advice The thousands of Mrs
Pinkhams cures are all recorded for quick reference and a reply will be promptly
sent wholly without charge that will direct her what to do

No Patriots in China
As for the patriotism of the Chinese
If it ever existed it is unquestionably
a thing of the past At the time of the
war with Japan China had two squad
rons the main or northern squadron
with headquarters at Port Arthur and
and the southern squad
ron composed of line Armstrong cruis
ers of gunboats and torpedo boats
As it was clear that the Japanese
would carry the war into Manchuria
and toward the gulf of Petchili tho
southern squadron was ordered to pro
ceed northward and to re enforce the
northern licet Far from obeying the
commanding admiral and his ollicers
decided that being a great deal safer
in the south they would quietly remain
there and go up a river the entrance
of which could be defended by torpedo
mines which they hurried to lay Why
in the name of Confucius should they
have exposed themselves for the sake
of defending the northern provinces
About the same time the Chinese
Government being in need of money to
carry on the war decided that a small
tax would be imposed upon the tea
plantations most of whose proprietors
are wealthy or at least well-to-do peo
ple But these patriotic citizens in or
der to avoid paying that small tax bog
ged he foreign merchants to take the
plantations in their names Illustrat

BED FIT FOR A QUEEN
One Woman Who Ought loIaeDown to
Pleasant Dreams
The sleeping apartments of Mrs Og
den Mills of New York is the envy of
all her friends Her bed is a throne
like affair that was built in America
After examining beds in the Parisian
shops Mrs Mills decided that they were
all lacking in the conveniences and
comforts the modern American woman
demands for her sleeping hours So
she came home and of very plain oak
her bed was built the lofty canopy
frame put up the embroideries order
ed from an American needlewoman
hung and then the great curtains and
coverlid were edged with forty pounds
of bullion fringe These requisites for
a perfect Marie Antoinette bed brought
the price of it up far into the thou
sands but the end was not yet
A wonderful foundation of spiral
steel springs first lined the inside of
the couch on the top of this a thin felt
mattress was placed and then on top
a hair bed slipped in a big silken cover
before sheets or blankets or blankets
could be laid on Finally the head
board decorated by the brush of an
American artist was put into place
and lastly the electrician was called in
to give the finishing touches The
good oees of the electrician war not
an original idea on the part of Mrs
Mills for all the new beds builr for
comfort as well as beauty have first
of all a tiny button that anyone lying
on the pillow can easily reach up
touch and turn on the light in a gioup
of bulbs artistically arranged in the
headboard In Mrs Mills bed a couple
of gilded Cupids in this board hold each
a spray of lights that shed their ra
diance down softly over the pillow at
the exact angle needed for comfortable
reading To make the light perfectly
agreeable and easy for the eyes the
globes of glass are first ground and
then treated with a varnish Hint sub
dues the hard electric glare
A Wonder Room
There is a curious room in Chicago
It is in one of the most imposing man
sions of the city a mansion famed tor
its dinners and balls This little room
is fashioned of mirrors Ceiling floor
and walls are all of mirrors some of
which are convex and concave some
flat The door is also of looking glass
and it opens with a spring which it is
not easy to find One of the jests of
the household is to entice a guest into
the glittering room close the door and
leave him for a few moments to find
his way out The effect upon the
senses is bewildering The occupant
sees himself in grotesque shapes all
around He is dogged with caricatures
of himself He sees himself with a fat
and swelling face and with an elonga
ted and phiz he perceives
himself squat as a dwarf and towering
like a beanpole and can find no escape
from these absurd presentments of
himself

Ancient Entravagpnce
The great display of jewels by women
of fashion on both sides of the ocean
has been severely criticised even by
those who could well afford to wear
them if they desired to But if the
precedent of hisury furnishes any jus
tification of this fashion the jewel
wearers of the present day are thor
oughly justified According to Pliny
Lollia Paulina the wife of Caligula
wore on her head arms neck hands
and waist pearls and emeralds to the
value of one million six hundred and
eightj thousand dollars Faustina had
a ring worth two hundred thousand
dollars Domitia had one worth three
hundred thousand dollars and Kae
sonia had a bracelet worth four hun
dred thousand dollars Seneca be
wails that one pearl in each ear no
longer suffices to adorn a woman they
must have three the weight of which
ought to be insupportable to them
There were women of ancient Rome
whose sole occupation was the heal
ing of the ears of the belles who had
torn or otherwise injured the lobes with
the weight of their pendants Pop
paeas ear rings were worth seven hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars and
Caesars wife Calpurnia had a pair
valued at twice that sum Marie de
Medici had a dress made for the cere
monj of the baptism of her children
which was trimmed with thirty two
thousand pearls and three thousand
diamonds and at the last moment she
found it was so heavy she could not
wear it and had to get another
But men led in the splendor of the
middle ages and Philip the Good of
Burgundy often wore jewels valued at
two hundred thousand dollars When
he walked along the streets the people
climbed over each other to look at him
The Duke of Buckingham wore a suit
at the Court of St James which cost
four hundred thousand dollars The
dress of the nobles during the middle
ages was literally covered with gold
and precious stones San Francisco

WOMEN AND THE V1EEL
From the Gazelle Delaware Ohio
The healthfulness of bicycle riding for
women is a disputed question
Used in moderation it surely creates for
women a means of outdoor exercise the
benefit of which all physicians concede
Used to excess like any other pastime
its effect is likely to be dangerous
The experience of Miss Bertha Reed
the seven teen yen r old daughter of Mr
J R Reed 333 Lake street Delaware

when lie examined her he

She became extremely weak and could
not stand the least noise or excitement
In this condition of affairs they were rec
ommended by an old friend to get some
of that famous blood medicine Dr Will

did so and almost from the first dose
Bertha began to improve She continued
to take the pills and was by their means
made entirely well and more grateful

Dr Williams Pink Pills have proved
a boon to womankind Acting directly
on the blood and nerves they restore the J
