THREE EPOCHS IN A WOMAN’S LIFE i ii i MRS. ELVA BARBER EDWARDS J| MRS. GEORGE WALTERS There are three critical stages in a Woman’s life which leave their mark in her career. The first of these stages is womanhood, or the change from a care free girl to budding womanhood, The second is motherhood, and the third is Change of Life. Perils surround each of these stages, and most of the misery that comes to women through ill health dates from one or another of these im portant crises. Women should remember that Lydia E. Pinkham’* Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs lias carried thousands of young girls over the critical period of puberty, has prepared mothers for childbirth, and in later years carried them safely through the change of life more suc cessfully than any other remedy in the world. Thousands of testimonials from grateful persons, two of which are here published, substantiate this fact beyond contradiction. Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn, 111. writes i Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “I feel it ray duty to tell you of the good Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done me in preparing for childbirth. After suffering and losing my children a friend advised me to try your valuable me dicine, and the result was that I had very little inconvenience, a quick recovery and as nnaitny a cnua as can do iouna anywnere. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is a blessing to all expectant mothers.’’ Mrs, Elva Barber Edwarda o f Cathlamet, Wash., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “I want to tell you how Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound carried me through the critical period of the Change of Life without any trouble whatever, also I cured me of a very severe female weakness, i I cannot say enough in praise of what your medicine has done for me.” What Lydia E.

While It is well to heed every word of caution from the leaders In com merce and finance, and to avoid all speculative ventures that lack a solid business foundation, it Is clearly evi dent that there is no conspicuous weak spot in Canada's present era of pros perity. The Toronto Globe says: “The Dominion has in a commercial sense plenty of money, and our leading finan cial institutions are In a position to lend freely in the United States. The chief productive enterprises of Canada are not buoyed up by an era of danger ous speculation, but are following sub stantial business methods and finding safe and continuous markets for their goods. We are not bolstering up any Industries by extensive export bonuses that must Impoverish the people as a whole and ultimately lead to collapse through the failure of the artificial aid. There Is no extreme protection in Can ada such as would create great for tunes for a few at the expense of the general public and lead to disruption and catastrophe. “The prosperity of Canada has no such artificial foundation, being based on a healthy and substantial expansion of trade and Industry, with a propor tionate extension of productive settle ment to new areas. "It is true that we are borrowing extensively for railway construction, but every line will bring new territory within the limits of profitable occupa tion. and will create prosperous settle ments to bear the burdens and repay the outlays. We are not exhausting mineral resources, for it is quite rea sonable to assume that, although min eral wealth Is never permanent, ours will during the measurable future de> velop a far greater productive capac ity than at present. Our timber wealth can be made continuous by a judicious policy. And agriculture, the real foun dation of our prosperity, is expanding with every new expenditure on railway construction. We are not in the flush of a railway mania that could bring its punishment through the useless du plication of lines. The gigantic rail way enterprises that now stimulate ev ery line of business in Canada will create a new Dominion, and thus ren der easy the heavy burdens of debt now freely assumed. Canada’s era of prosperity has been unprecedented, but there is no sign of weakness and no cause for lack of confidence. While our growth Is normal and healthy, we need have no alarm at its rapidity.” This article might have told of the growth that is taking place in Central Canada, where thousands of Ameri cans have made their homes during the past few years. The past calendar year has given to Canada by immigration nn addition to its population of 210,000. Of this the United States contributed 03.781. The agents of the Canadian government, whose advertisement ap pears elsewhere, say that this number will be largely increased durit^ 1007. A NEW GLOVE.

Rose, a retired grocer, of 1226 Lexington Avenue, Indianapolis, Ind., "I met with a serious accident which injured the bone of my head over the right eye. I recovered from the accident to all appearances, but not many years after 1 began to have intense pains in the Injured bone, which came on every year and would last from a few days to several weeks. "I consulted the doctors who told me that I was suffering from neural gia. The sight of my right eye wa3 affected, so that at limes I could scarcely see out of It, while both eyes watered constantly. During these at tacks I was often dizzy from the ter rible pains. The pains came on every morning and passed away in the after noon. I never suffered from the pain at night. “I tried without success to get re lief until a friend told me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. When I had taken a few boxes I felt the pain growing less Intense and In a much shorter time than I had hoped for I was entirely cured. I have recom mended the pills to several persons, who have used them with good results. “My wife uses Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for nervous headaches and finds them the best medicine she has ever used as they give relief where all oth ers fall.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are soln by all druggists or sent, postpaid on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medi cine Company, Schenectady, N.

When Porflrio Diaz became president In 1884 Mexico was full of brigands and cut throats. The mountains swarmed wdth bands of outlaws In league with confeder ates In the cities who kept them posted as to the movement of travelers. Diaz knew that the resources of Mexico could not be developed until brigandage was stamped out, so the orders were to execute all brigands. He overawed to a great extent the lawless population, but the mountains were still fastnesses for thieving bands. Then a bright Idea came to him, says the Arena. Many, perhaps most, of these men had lost all they possessed during the fierce wars. They had become outlaws largely through the force of untoward circumstances. Might It not be a wise thing to offer these Ishmaels of civiliza tion the opportunity to regain their foot hold among law' abiding citizens? Accord ingly, when the brigands were caught they were questioned. "How much money do you obtain a week on the average in your lawless and crim inal life?" The prisoners answered. Diaz pondered. At last he announced that he would pay the bandits double the amount which they claimed aa the average they obtained by thieving. He would enroll them as members of the Mexican contabulary of rurales, and they were to extend this offer to all the mem bers of the bands they knew; but each man must swear to serve the state with fidelity, and if any bandits refused to ac cept this offer they were to be hunted down and killed wherever found. The idea worked admirably. Soon Mexico was like another land and the rurales became the strongest military and police arm of the republic. Of lnterent to Women. Every woman naturally should be healthy and strong, but a great many women, unfortunately, are not, owing to the unnatural condition of the lives \vc lead. Hcftdache, backache and a general tired condition are prevalent amongst the women of to-day, and to relieve these con ditions women rush to the druggists for a bottle of some preparation supposed to be particularly for them, and containing— nobody knows what. If they would just got a box of Brandreth’s Bills, and take them regularly every night for a time, all their trouble would disappear, ns those pills regulate the organs of the feminine system. The same dose has the same effect, no matter how long they are used. Brandreth’s Bills have been in use for over a century and are sold in every drug and medicine store, plain or sugar-coated. “Pass the East Wind.” Miss Agnes Slack, secretary of the In ternational W. C. T. U., told on the Mer lon, as she was about to sail for Liverpool, a temperance story. “A little boy, one evening at dinner, gazed at his father's face a long while, and then said: “ 'Papa, what makes your nose so dread ful red?’ “ 'The east wind, of course,' the father answered with gruff haste. 'Pass that jug of beer, and don't talk so much.’ ■'Then, from the other end of the table, the boy’s mother said sweetly: " Yes. Tommy, pass your father the east wind, and be careful not to spill any on the table cloth.' ” NO RELIEF FROM ECZEMA for Over Two Years—Patent Medi cines, Quack Cures, und Even Doc tors Fall—Cutlcura Succeeds. “1 was very badly afflicted with ee tema for more than two years. The parts affected were my limbs below the knees.

[ Bret Harte’s Daughter Rescued From Such a Fate by Actress. When the news reached Eleanor Rob- | son that Mrs. Steele, the daughter of j the man who has made Immortal these , western mining regions of '49, was an | occupant of a poor house not far from Portland, Me., without money or j friends, the young actress who Is now playing Salomy Jane, a dramatization of Bret Harte’s story Immediately tele graphed substantial aid and sent a the- j atrlcal friend to settle all of Mrs. Steele's financial embarrassments and take her on to New York where she may find better opportunities for self support. Ever since Mrs. Steele left her hus band she has been dependent upon her self and has spent all of her time and the Binall capital that she possessed In writing a play which she is still confi dent will place her among the great playwrights of the country when pro duced next fall. In spite of her bare surrounding at the Maine poorhouse Mrs. Steele has never been discouraged, but has enter tained the most sanguine hopes for the future and dreamed rosy dreams of the time when she herself would be a great tragedy queen. It Is Mrs. Steele’s am bition to play wnotlonal roles and she believes that In time her name will not be known only as the daughter of a literary genius, but for her own talents as well. Miss Robson, who Is more pleased with her new play than with any In which she haB starred for some time, feels that she has been given iui op portunity that does not come to many women In a life time to show In a measure her appreciation for the char acter created by Bret Harte by allow ing his daughter to benefit by the re turns of the play. Miss Robson will not only see that Mrs. Steele Is settled In comfortable quarters In New York, but will do what she can to find a market for her plays. Explained.
