Phew! Salts
and Castor Oil!
Why take sickening salts or repulsive
castor oil? “Goes through you like a
dose of salts” means violence, grips, gripes, gases,
soreness, irritation, and leaves your stomach and bowels
>veak and burnt out. Might just as well take concen
trated lye. Then there’s castor oil, disgusting, nauseat
ing truck that your stomach refuses unless you disguise
[the taste. Fool your own stomach, eh? Don’t ever
'believe that anything offensive to your taste or smell is
' (going to do you real good. Nature makes certain
'things repulsive, so you will not take them. Force
[yourself to nauseous doses, and you ruin your digestion,
(weaken your bowels, destroy your health.
'On the other hand see what a delightful,
(palatable, perfect modern laxative, liver
regulator and bowel tonic you find in

PULLING OUT THE WARP.
Have you ever been annoyed by want
of a very fine thread? Well, hero Is
on idea. It amounts to very little as
an economy, but as a convenience Its
proportion is great. The very nicest
fine thread you can have for sewing
is the warp of flue lawn. But It must
be the warp and not the cross thread.
The next time you tear oft a selvedge.
Instead of feeling annoyed at the long
threads which come loose, wind them
on a spool for future use. They will
be very handy. Tou will find them
quite strong and much nicer to work
with for very fine sewing than Is a
manufactured thread of the same thick
ness. In making fine ties by hand, for
instance, If the hems are sewed with
this warp, not a single stitch will be
visible, and the sewing will last as
long as if made with manufactured
cotton.
In making colored dresses, this same
plan is a good one to follow In regard
to any specially dainty little piece of
sewing, ns one is sure of a "good
match." Also, it Is well to have on
hand such threads to use for darning,
should necessity occur. Here you not
only have the color, but the fiber and
the exact thickness.
THREAD ON THE MACHINE.
When using a full spool of silk on
the machine, the threads will fly off In
loops, tighten on the spindle below the
spool and break. To prevent this, take
a tine wire hairpin, place the points in
the top center of the spool, bend it over
and down until the loop is half way
down the side of the spool; draw the
thread through the loop. It will then
run smoothly and not break.

ONE WOMAN’S OEVOTiON
From the Kansas City Star.
Shep kept a hoarding house and I
lived there. I went recently to look at
It again, but no trace of It was left.
The progress of the city had engulfed
It and a great modern apartment house
stood there.
As 1 remember It was an ugly red
brick house of three floors with, steep
wooden steps leading up from the
street to the second floor. As If to
make the house look more cold and
repellant the owner had painted the
window frames black, and a heavy cor
nice overhung the whole.
But Ihcro was cheerfulness within
the house. We were a lot of young
people, mostly, and there was a decided
air of respectability and comfort about
the sitting room upon the second floor,
, and the bedrooms upstairs. The dining
room was upon tho basement floor. t
Mrs. North, the landlady, went up
;and down tho stairways many, many
times a day, and how sho managed to
hold up under all the work she did
was a source of constant wonderment
to me. She had no servunt. except a
negro girl In the kitchen. All of the
other work she did herself. If ever
thero was a slave sho was one. Wlmt
made it harder for her was that sho
was very stout.
But sho never grumbled. Neither did
she smile. She was kind always, and
courteous, but her face wore at all
times a look of sadness and of pa
tience as If she had known much sor
row.
Her boarders were all young men.
We loved and respected her. Wo knew
she had seen better days. Her voice
and manner showed that, and we pitied
her and did what we could to lighten
her burden.
i Wo wondered why she did not have
another servant or two to do the heavy
work for her. The profit from tho
house would have permitted It and left
her a fair Income besides. But we
never questioned her about It. Each
of us, quite Independent of nngther,
had formed tho opinion that there was
some great tragedy, perhaps, that had
saddened her, and that we ought not
to pry Into It.
Onco every month, regularly, through
the three years I lived there, she went
away In tho evening and returned the
next afternoon. Those were the only
times sho ever left the house except
when sho went to market. She took
always with her upon those over-night
trips a large "telescope" valise packed
full of bread and cakes of her own
making. We always knew, several
dayB beforehand, when she was going
upon one of these trips, by the pro
longed odor of cake-baking that filled
the house. Wo wondered much about
these mysterious trips. We knew that
she went out of town because one ot
the boarders had seen her getting upon
a train at the union depot, dragging
her heavy valise up the steps after her.
Once each month, and never oftener,
a letter came to her. It always came
upon tho same day of the month. She
knew when to expect It, she waited
and watched for It and never once
failed to meet the postman at the bot
tom step of the street stairway to tako
the letter from his hand. Tho arrival
of tho letter always meant a crying
spell for her. She carried It straight
to her room, shut tho door and came
out a little later with eyes red and
swollen from weeping, and her face
more sad than ever.
No one of us ever saw tho postmark
upon the letters, or knew where they
camo from. We would like to have
known, but we respected her too much
to try and find out.
At last her health began to fall. We
noticed the beginning of the breakdown
and we talked gravely together about
It. Her effort to keep up was pitiful,
but one morning she was too sick to
leave her bed. And then we took charge.
We sent for a doctor who told us that
she would never get up again. We
hired two girls to do the work and
we tried to cheer her by telling her
that all was going along smoothly and
that not one of her boarders would
leave her.
viib uay me uuciur iuiu ner mat Bite
could not live more than a week.
"Oh, doctor, can't I live two weeks,
don’t you think?” she pleaded. The
doctor shook his head.
“Oh, I must, I must. Doctor, try and
keep me alive two weeks by all means,”
she said.
The week went by and she was yet
alive, but falling rapidly.
"If I can only live three more days,”
she said beseechingly, to the doctor. He
asked her why, but she refused then to
tell.
That night the doctor told her she
was dying, that she could not live until
morning, and advised her that If she
had any instructions to give as to her
property then was the time to do it.
She replied, weakly:
"This is Tuesday. My husband will
be here Thursday. Do not bury me un
til he comes.”
An hour later she was dead.
Thursday afternoon a man at the
door, a man with gray hair and bent
shoulders, asked:
“Does Mrs. North live here? I am
her husband.”
"She did,” was the answer.
“What! Has she moved?”
"No; come In and I'll explain.”
He was told of her death. I have seen
much sorrow and grief in my time, but
never such heartbroken grief as he
went through. He fell across her coffin,
with both arms clasped around It, and
his tears fell like rain upon the dead
face, stamped yet with the look of
patience and long suffering. His grief
exhausted him so that a physician had
to be called to quiet him with medi
cines.
After w-e returned to the boarding
house from the burial In the cemetery
we missed him. He did not come that
night. The next morning his dead body
was found beside the newly made grave
of his wife. His head rested upon the
sod above her breast as If It had been
a pillow. Some time during the long,
dark night that he lay there alone In
the cemetery he had ended Ills life. He
was burled next day in a grave beside
her.
Then the public administrator took
charge of her property and, in reading
her letters—she had saved every one of
them—he discovered the secret of her
life. Ten years before her husband had
been sentenced to the penitentiary. She .
had gone with him to the door of the ■
prison and then came to Kansas City !
to work and wait for his release. Ten
long years she waited, patiently, de
votedly. The prison rules permitted
her to see him only once a month, and
each month for ten years she had gone
to Jeffexson City to spend one comfort
ing hour with him. The prison rules
allowed him to write her only one let
ter a month. Those letters, sacredly
preserved by her, told the story of the
ten-year vigil kept by both of them.
Those letters told of their plans for the
future, when he should be free again.
She had saved $800; It was In the bank,
and with It he was to open a little gro
cery store near her boarding house.
She had already leased the room for It.
The administrator sold the boarding
house furniture and the money, added i
to the $800 In the bank, paid the doc- |
tor, the funeral expenses and bought 1
a large, rough, granite monument,
which was placed at the heads of the ,
two graves. You can see it any day In ,
Elmwood cemetery. It bears this in- i
scrlption: t
“Sacred to the memory of one wom
an’s devotion.” A. B. M. |
Women Avoid
Operations
When a woman suffering from
female trouble is told that au oper
ation is necessary, it, of course,
frightens her.
The very thought of the hospital,
the operating table and the knife
strikes terror to her heart.
It is quite true that these troub
les may reach a stage where on ope
ration is the only resource, but a
great many women have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable
Compound after an operation has
been decided upon as the only cure.
The strongest and most grateful
! statements possible to make come from women who by taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs, have escaped serious operations, as
evidenced by Miss Rose Moore’s case, of 307 W. 26th St., N.Y. She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-“Lvdia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has
cured me of the very worst form of female trouble and I wish to express
to you my deepest gratitude. 1 suffered Intensely for two years so that
I was unable to attend to my duties and was a burden to my family. 1
doctored and doctored with only temporary relief and constantly objecting
to an operation which I was advised to undergo. I decided to try Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound; it cured me of tho terrible trouble
and I am Dow in better health than I have been for many years.”
This and other such eases should encourage every woman to try Ly
j dia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound before she submits to an operation.
Mrs. Pinkham’s Standing Invitation to Women
Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. From the
symptoms given, tho trouble may be located and tho quickest and surest
way of recovery ad vised.
