THREE EPOCHS IN
A WOMAN’S LIFE

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.”

Compound did for Mrs. Walters and

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.

STILL MORE PROOF
that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills Havs
Cured Even the Most Stubborn
Cases of Rheumatism.
“When I was a boy of sixteen," says
Mr. Otto H. 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.”

DIAZ AND THE BRIGANDS.
Instead of Hanging Them He Hired
Them as Rural Guards.
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.' ”

OUT OF A POORHOUSE. [
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.
