My appe tite was fitful, and I would lie awake for hoursj and could not sleep, until I seemed more weary in the morning than when I retired. After reading one of your advertisements I decided to try the merits of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and I am so glad I did. No one can describe the good it did me.

American Tailor and Cutter—The chief | material of the clothing of the Esquimo ts the skin of the reindeer, which Is used j In various stages of pelage or tanning. Fine, short-haired summer skins, espe cially those of does and fawns, are used for making dress garments and under clothes. The heaviest winter skins fur nish extra warm Jackets for cold weath er. The white spotted skins of the tame Stbenan reindeer are especially valued for full dress Jackets. The skins of the white mountain sheep, white and blue fox, wolf, dog, ermine anil lynx are sometimes made Into clothing Underjackets of elder duck skins are often pressed Into service. Sealskin dressed with the hair on Is used only for breeches nnd boots, and for those rarely. Of late years drilling and calico have been Introduced Into the make-up of some of the minor garments. The dress of the men consists of a loose hooded frock, without opening except at the neck and wrists. This reaches Just over the hips, and very rarely to mld thlgh, where H la cut off square and usual ly confined by a girdle at the waist. Un der this garment Is worn a similar one of lighter skin and sometimes without a hood. The thighs are clad In one Or two pairs and are usually fastened below the knee, aver the boots, with a draw-string. On the legs and feet are worn, first, a pair of long deerskin stockings with the hulr inside, then slippers of tanned seal- . skin. In the bottom of which *s spread n layer of whalebone shavings, and outside a pair of close-fitting boots, held In place by a string around the ankle, which reaches auove the knee and ends with a rough edge covered by the breeches. Dress 1 boots often end In an ornamental border , with draw-string Just below the knee. The boots are of reindeer skin, with white sealskin soles for winter and dry weath er; but In summer waterproof boots of white whaleskln are worrw Overshoes of the same material, reaching Just above the ankles, are sometimes worn over the winter boots. The women wear tlght-flttlng deerskin pantaloone with the hair next the skin, j and outside of these a similar pair, made I of the skins from deer legs, with the hair ! out, and having soles of sealskin, but no ankle strings. The women's pantaloonB, like those of the men, are fastened with a girdle Just above the hips. It appears that they do not stay up very well, us the women are continually hitching them up and tightening their girdles, like some old ; sailor. Until they reach manhood the boys wear ' pantaloons like the women, but their Jack- i els are cut Just like those of the men. The well-to-do Esquimo generally own several complete suits of clothes, and pre sent a neat appearance when not engaged In dirty work. The poorer class wear one suit for all occasions until It becomes shabby. New clothes are seldom put on till winter. The outer frock Is not often worn In the lglu, or hut home, being usually taken off before entering the room. At present there is no such thing as an Esqulino tailor, for the women of each Esquimo household usually make the gar ments of all the members of the family. Not only this, but the Esquimo are ex tremely conservative In the matter of changes In the style of their raiment, and respond very slowly to the modernizing Influences in this particular which have , reached their neighborhood. Women Break Down. Sometimes women drift into a condition of “half invalid.” Contin ual languor, all tired out, run down, back ache, nerves shattered, headache, terrible pain, no appetite, poor diges tion. In nine cases out of ten it's because the kidneys fall to cio their work of filtering the poi sonous system waste from the blood. The kidneys are weak and need the strengthening help of Doan's Kidney Pills. Read how these pins repair a weaaeueu puysnui uvuu* tion when this condition Is caused by sick kidneys: Mrs. Sadie Mettles of 394 W. Fourth avenue, Columbus, Ohio, says: “Frior to the year 1898 I suffered considerably fiotn backache, pain In the head, lan guor and depression and weakness of the action of the kidneys. The pain was always worse in the morning and I felt miserable. I was Induced to pro cure a box of Doan’s Kidney Fills and I began their use. They proved prompt and effective. They cured me and there has been no return of the trouble since taking them. I owe atl the credit to Doan’s Kidney Pills.” A FREE TRIAL of this great kid ney medicine which Cured Mrs. Mettles will be mailed on application to any part of the United States.
