WOMAN SICK FOURTEEN YEARS Restored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Elkhart, Ind.“I suffered for four teen years from organic inflammation, xeiunie wtmness, pain and irregulari ties. The pains in my sides were in creased by walking or standing on my feet and I had such awful bearing down feelings, was de pressed in spirits and became thin and pale with dull, heavy eyes. I had six doc tors irom whom 1 received only tempo rary relief. I decided to give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a fair trial and also the Sanative Wash. I have Dow used the remedies for four months and cannot express my thanks for what they have done for me. “If these lines will be of any benefit you have my permission to publish them.” — Mrs. Sadie Williams, 466 James Street, Elkhart, Indiana.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound,made from native roots and herbs, contains no narcotic or harmful drugs, and to-day holds the record of being the most successful remedy for female ills we know of, and thousands of voluntary testimonials on file .in the Pinkham laboratory at Lynn, Mass., seem to prove this fact If you have the slightest doubt that Lydia E.

An old but sturdy Irishman, who had made a reputation as a gang boss, was given a job with, a railroad construction company at Fort-au prince, Haiti. One day, when the sun was hotter than usual, his gang ol black Haitians began to shirk, and as the chief engineer rode up on his horse the Irishman was heard to shout: "Allez—you sons of guns—allez!” Then turning to the engineer, he said: “I curse the day I iver learned their language.” Too Hasty. “Diggs can dash off epigrams with out a moment’s thought."

THINKS THAT IS MINIMUM Daughter of Wealthy Banker Prepares Table of Expense— s Clothes Not Counted. *New Yoark. Special: Miss Dorothy Applegate, daughter of Dr. W. E. Ap plegate, a wealthy physician, of No. 931 Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn, Is liv ing on $8 a week In Boston. Not that she has to, for her father’s doors and purse are wide open to her. But Miss Applegate, a very practical student of sociology, wishes to learn how to live comfortably on 88 a week, so that she can teach other young women to exist on that small Income. Miss Applegate, who Is 21 years old. was graduated from Wellesley college last June. Sharing her experience in Boston are Miss Betsey Graves, a so ciety girl of Detroit, and Miss Stone man, daughter of a rich Bostonian. Mrs. Applegate said last night that her daughter was under the tutelage of Mrs. French, superintendent and in structress of the Woman’s Educational league of Boston. The object of the league Is to fur ther the interests of the shop girls to equip them to live more economically and to make them more efficient. Miss Applegate will have finished her life on $8 a week next October. Then she will become an instructress. Already, Mrs. Applegate said, some I \ 4 MIS8 APPLEGATE’S TABLE 4 4 OF $8-A-WEEK EXPENSES jf % Boston. 8peoial.

Special: "I have no right to live on money I have not earned.” thoughtfully said Miss Applegate to day, "and I have no right to live dif ferently from other girl workers until I have proved my efficiency. As for my bank account, I feci in honor bound not to touch it, for I did not earn the money. "I am satisfied that a working girl can live very nicely on $8 a week,” continued Miss Applegate. "Our food costs us not more than $2.75 a week for each of us. We average 10 cents apiece for breakfast, 15 cents for lunch and 25 cents for dinner. It is never necessary to pay more than 25 cents for dinner if you know where to go. Indeed, when we get our meals in our rooms they do not cost so much." Omaha Pastor Picks Partners; His Business Is Flourishing REV. CHARLES 8AVIDQE. Rev. Charles Savidge Finds Many Who Are Longing for Affinities. YOUNG MEN TOO BACKWARD Cupid’s Lieutenant Would Find Loving Husband for Every Working Girl. Omaha, Neb. Special: The Rev. Charles Savidge, who some time ago added a "marrying department” to his church, is delighted with the progress he has made thus far. In fact, he has received so many applications for hus bands and wives that he has been forced to hire a secretary and an as sistant and to open an office in one of the big downtown buildings. Business is brisk. Everybody is happy. The Rev. Mr. Savidge, it will be re membered, was the original of the many "marrying parsons” of the coun try, the title having been bestowed upon him by the newspapers some years ago when he Joined his 2,500th couple in wedlock. That he is still one of the closest co-workers with Cpld may be gleaned from a perusal of his lists. How System Works. Rev. Savidge has evolved what he regards as an almost perfect system. A young man, wishing to get married, INFANTILE PARALYSIS IS ENDEMIC IN EUROPE By Dr. Simon Flexner, In Science. Poliomyelitis has been endemic in northern Europe for many years, but it is only five years since it started on that unique, and as yet unexplained, movement that has carried it around the globe. In America there Is no previous history of a general preva lence or epidemic, although local out breaks of Infantile paralysis have from time to time arisen. Some significance attaches to the fact that the first two foci of the present epidemic—I say pres ent, because since 1907 the disease has prevailed severely each summer and autumn at some places in the United States and Canada—arose In the At lantic coast cities and In the state of Minnesota in the middle west. The former receive the mass of emigrant population from Europe, and the latter, secondarily, the large contingent of Scandinavian emigrants. The imposi tion of the Infoctlon upon America can thus be accounted for; but no expla nation is afTorded of the many years of immunity while Scandinavians were constantly arriving, and for the pene tration of the disease to other Euro pean countries and to far distant parts of the world. However, within the pandemic period the disease has taken on new activity in Norway and Sweden, and as recently as 1911 the latter coun 1 try has suffered a severe visitation. writes In, describing the sort of a win he would like to have. The minister then goes over his lists and picks a half dozen "prospects" In the young man's community answering nearest to the descriptions given. These names he sends to the matrimonially inclined young man. The minister makes It clear, however, that he does not guar antee the character of any of his pros pects. He tells each applicant to be sure and look Into this point before he takes any steps that will be beyond recalling. Not Doing Their Duty. “The young men of this country art not doing their duty,” says the minis ter, "and a whole lot of young women are not doing theirs either. But I am sure there are hundreds and thousands who would be glad to get married If they knew Just where to look. The present strenuous life of the city man or woman Is not conducive to marriage. I’m going to put a stop to that condi tion so far as It Is In my power to do so. "Get these people together. Here’s a girl in a town who would like to marry, but she has not been asked. And here’s a man In a city who would like to meet that gtrl, but he don’t know where to look for her. “It's the greatest tragedy of this age —this single life men and women are leading.” Dr. Savldge believes that he Is go ing to be Instrumental in "placing” a large number of factory girls. "One girl at the head of a home is worth 40 working in a factory," says he. "Td take every girl out of every factory In the land and put her In a home If I could.” says he. "They don’t belong In factories. That's where men belong.” Barnum’s Biblical Play. From the New York Herald. The production of the play “Joseph and His Brethren” has not yet brought forth any charge of plagiarism against Its auth ors. Nevertheless there are still living a few of the older generation of theater goers who remember when a drama of the same name, and taken also from Holy Writ, was presented on the stage of a local playhouse. The producer was the late P. T. Bar num. whose museum, at the corner of Broadway and Ann street, on the site afterward occupied by the Herald build ing, was in Its day one of the most pop ular places of amusement In the town. At that time. In the early ’60s, there was a widespread prejudice against the theater, and Barnum, who always catered to what he called the "moral" element In the com munity, called his little theater a “lec ture room” and presented no drgmas which could not be safely advertised as “moral and Instructive.” The term "up lift” had not then come into general use, or he would certainly have appropriated It was with this ennobling biblical drama that Barnum edified the public that had gaped to satiety at the What-Is-It, the Performing Bears, the Cherry Colored Cat and the Woolly Horse. And of those who stifled their conscience with the thought that they were not in a play house but a lecture room not one com plained when a lady In short skirts and ptnk tights appeared and enlivened the scene with a pleasing dance.

HOLIDAYING IN THE WINTER AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT BY WESTERN CANADI ANS IN WINTER SEASON. “An unusually large number of Western Canada people are leaving or preparing to leave to spend the Winter in California.” The above Item of news was clip ped from a Western Canada paper early In December. In the same paper were Items of news conveying the in telligence that hundreds of Western Canadians were also taking a trip abroad, spending the Christmas sea son "at home,” as they yet term the old land. The Scandinavian element participated largely in the holiday business of the railroads and the steamships, but they all had return tickets. Early In December the east bound trains and boats were loaded, and an estimate furnished by the rail road people gave upwards of twelve thousand as the number who would mako the Christmas holiday visit abroad. This does not mean that these people are leaving to avoid the cold nesB of the winter, nor for any cli matic conditions whatever. They have come out to Canada and have done so well that they can afford the hundred and fifty or two hundred dol lars or more that It takes to carry them across and back. When they came to Canada they did not have that much money all told, but now they are wealthy and on their return will bring some of their friends with them. Then there are those, too, who on their wheat farms have made suffi cient money that they can afford to take a holiday, and what better winter holidaying ground could they have than California? How many in other farming districts of the continent could afford the money and the time that these people can?—Advertise ment As to the Wedding Garb. Colonel Watterson occasionally turns his attention from dressing down candidates to dressing up inquir ing correspondents. Listen to tbiB ad vice from the Louisville Courier-Jour nal: "There are two reasons for being married in a dress suit, young man. It’s fashionable and it’s your last chance to get a dress suit.” This can be considered good advice, founded on observation and experi ence, even if it is a little pessimistic. •—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Occasional Visitor. A notable housekeeper of the past generation, before the days of screens, had just announced with decision that she never had any flies. “But, Aunt Augusta,” faltered the timid visitor, “It seems to me that I saw a few in the dining-room.” “Oh, those,” replied her aunt, with ; a majestic wave of the hand, “were the neighbors’ flies. They will come in occasionally. But I was saying, we never have any of our own."—Youth’s Companion. Too Much for Him. The elevator passed the homely man's floor. “Here, boy,” he cried, “let me out on the sixth. I thought you knew that was my floor.” “Excuse me, sah,” returned the boy, stopping the elevator and returning to the sixth floor, “I ought to know your face, sah, but de trouble is I have to remember so many ob ’em, an’ you’s am so complicated, sah.” Sure. “Do you think that we should have a more elastic currency?" asked the Old Fogy. "It’s elastic enough," replied the Grouch. "Why don’t they make it more adhesive?"

It Paid Thla Man to Change Food. “What 1b called ‘good living’ eventu ally brought me to a condition quite the reverse of good health,' writes a N. Y. merchant. "Improper eating told on me till my Btomach became bo weak that food nauseated me, even the lightest and simplest lunch, and I was much de pressed after a night of uneasy slum ber, unfitting me for business. “This condition was discouraging, as I could find no way to Improve It. Then I saw the advertisement/ of Grape-Nuts food, and decided to try It, and became delighted with the re sult. “For the past three years 1 have used Grape-Nuts and nothing else for my breakfast and for lunch before re tiring. It speedily set my stomach right and I congratulate myself that I have regained my health. There is no great er comfort for a tired man than a lunch of Grape-Nuts. It Insures restful sleep, and an awakening In the morn lng with a feeling of buoyant courage and hopefulness. “Grape-Nuts has been a boon to my whole family. It has made of our 2 year-old boy, who used to be unable to digest much of anything, a robust healthy, little rascal weighing 31 pounds. Mankind certainly owes i debt of gratitude to the expert whe invented this perfect food.’’ Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek Mich. “There’s a reason.’’ Ever read the above letter?

Very few people go through life without some time or other being troubled with constipation. Thousands injure ■ themselves by the use of strong cathartics, salt mineral wa ters, pills and similar things. They have temporary value in some cases, it is true, but the good effect is soon lost, and the more one takes of them the less effective they become. A physic or purgative is seldom necessary, and much better and more permanent resultB can be obtained by using a scientific remedy like Dr. Caldwell’B Syrup Pepsin. It does not hide behind a high sounding name, but is what it is represented to be, a mild laxative medicine. It Is so mild that thousands of mothers give it to tiny infants, and yet it is so com pounded, and contains such definite ingredients that it will have equally good effect when used by a person suffering from the worst chronic con stipation. In fact, among the great est endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are elderly people who have suffered for years and found* nothing to benefit them until they took Syrup Pepsin. It iB a fact, that millions of families have Syrup Pepsin constantly in the house, homes like those of Mrs. G. B. Pruitt, Berea, ify., who used Dr. Cald well’s Syrup Pepsin as a laxative tonic. Mrs. Pruitt writes that it so strengthened and cleansed her system that she was quickly relieved of a se vere cough which had troubled her for months. The special value of this grand laxative tonic Is that It is suit MR8. G. B. PRUITT ed to the needs of every member off the family. It is pleasant-taatint mild and non-griping. Unlike bank physics it works gradually and In k very brief time the stomach and bowel muscles are trained to do their work naturally again, when all medk cines can be dispensed with. You can obtain a bottle at any drag store for fifty centB or one dollar. Th* latter size Is usually bought by fax* Hies who already know its value. R** suits are always guaranteed or money will be refunded. If no member ot your family ha* ever used Syrup Pepsin and yen would like to make a personal trial of it before buying it in the regular, way of a druggist, send your addree* —a postal will do—to Dr. W.
