The majority of mothers nowadays
overdo, there are so many demands
upon their time and strength; the result
is invariably a weakened, run-down,
nervous condition with headaches, back
ache, irritability and depress^—and
Boon more serious ailments develop.
It is at such periods in life that Lydia E.
Pinkbam’s vegetable Compound will
restore a normal healthy condition, as
it did to Mrs. Wcrthline.

Why That Lame Back ?
Morning lameness, sharp twinges when
bending and an all day backache; each
is cause enough to suspect kidney com
plaint. If you feel tired all the time
and are annoyed by dizzy spells, head
aches and irregular kidney action, you
have additional proof and should act
quickly to prevent more serious kidney
trouble. Use Doan's Kidney Pills,
the remedy that is recommended every
where by grateful users. Ask your

A Comparison.
From Coll.er's Weekly. i
Imagine a family living in 1880. There is a father, a mother, t
two sons ami a daughter. The parents each work 12 hours a day, and j
the children each io. In a week the family has accomplished what i
would be 374 hours of work for a single person. The recreations eon- ,
sist in going to church on Sunday, in occasional walks or buggy rides j
on a moonlight night, or in a little skating, coasting and sleighing in
1 ho winter, with a limited amount of sweethearting for the young
people on Saturday and Sunday nights only. All this costs practically
nothing.
Here is a typical picture of today: In a similar family the father
and older son work 44 hours a week, the mother 42 hours a week, and
the younger son and daughter not at all. Their total weekly output
amounts to 130 hours of work for a single person or a little more than
a third that of the 1880 family. Their usual diversions are movie
shows and automobile trips, costing them weekly the pay of about 35
hours of work. This leaves some 95 hours of work to support them,
or about one-fourth as much as in the case of the other family. In the
main they are happy, but they are very much worried about the high
^ost of living.
The man who stops to think should have no difficulty in realizing
that now is the time to save and invest every dollar possible, to work
for himself as much as possible and for others as little.
j Noblest Use of Money.
4——---— ---------- - -4
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The noblest use of money ts assuredly (hat which means the broadest
dissemination of culture an4 of healthful pleasure, of recreation for the inind
and body, of welfare for the toiling masses, of the enlightenment of education
for the many.
The money might be given for a library, a hospital, a playground, an
orchestra. A large fund may be lodged in tiie hands of an individual, but
not that he may spend it on himself. He becomes trustee and steward. He is
engaged in a great work of healing or of inspiration, and the fund permits him
0o do that work on a scale he could not attempt when crippled for want of
resources.
The ignoble materialist spends his money for a vulgar "splurge.” He
spends it that he may create envy in the minds of beholders. But the lasting
riches are not in the furniture we buy; they are in the friends we make and
keep; they are in the satisfactions that we know in the quiet sessions with
our own souls; they are in the consciousness of duty dene in every public and
private relation and of faith kept with our place of service and with the com
munity at large.
As humanity marches along the winding pathway that leads to the millen
nium it does not bestow its love and trust on those who care only to feed
and clothe and lodge themselves. It bestows its affection on the unselfish
and it responds to those who are seeking to keep it. Those who are rich
are those who have amassed not the dollars or the pearls, but the abiding
tokens of esteem and of affection that are offered by their fellows while they
live.

Some Startling Prices.
From the New York Post.
The most awful example of profiteering
that has yet come to light was exposed
in the Senate by Senator Capper in behalf
of the Kansas farmer. He had previously
published this exposure in the Topeka
Capital:
It takes four and a half bushels of
wheat to make a barrel of flour. The
wheat raiser gets about $8.37 for the
wheat, the miller $12.70, the baker
$58.70, and the city hotel keeper $587.
According to an estimate made by Mr.
Hoover when he was food administrator,
the average barrel of flour makes 275 one
pound loaves o.f bread. To arrive at Sena
tor Capper's figures, we would have to
suppose the bakers selling pound loaves
at about 21 cents a loaf. To arrive at his
further figure of $587 for the greedy hotel
keeper we should have to imagine hotels
disposing of bread at $2.10 the loaf. So
frightful are these figures that the aver
se consumer will blink at them incredu
lously.
Before Girls Played Ball.
From the Christian Scienc Monitor.
How quaint, nowadays, sounds the
phraseology with which the girls’ board
school, in the days before academic edu
cation for women became general, adver
tised for pupils. Susan B. Anthony was a
pupil in such a school, and its circular
lias been reprinted as Dr. Daniel An
thony. meditating upon his daughter’s
education, received it more than 80 years
ago. "Having obtained an agreeable lo
cation,’’ so the doctor read, "in the pleas
ant village of Hamilton, in the vicinity of
Philadelphia, Deborah Moulson intends,
with the assistance of competent teach
ers, to open immediately a seminary for
females. The inculcation of the principles |
of humility, morality and a love of virtue j
will receive particular attention." One '
learns from his daughter's diary that one
serious "departure from the paths of rec- ,
titude” was "too much levity and mirth- i
fulness;’’ and the awful occasion is re- !
corded when young Miss Anthony was
-compelled to admit that she did not know .
the rule of dotting an i. These, however,
wore trying moments in an otherwise reas- 1
ot.ably happy seminary, for she wrote
also, “1 think another one cannot be ’
named so agreeable on all accounts as is 1
Debora Moulson’s at Hamilton.”
Longevity.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Dr. William J. Mayo, addressing a sur
gical congress in New York, says that at
no distant day, largely through the effect ,
of radium in overcoming cancerous 1
the average term of human life will be
lengthened by 10 years.
Even today the productive period in the ;
lives of many men and women is extended
of their own determined volition beyond
the conventional duration of a bygone era.

seniors, at the council board in debate and
on the field in action, have done well. In
the last few years there has been a gen
eral reversal of opinion as to the value of
old men. Their sagacity and their experi
ence have been called in consultation and
were not found wanting. "We are none of !

Sweating Big Business.
From the ‘Wall Street Journal.
“Talking about the shortage of office
space in the financial district, listen to
this!” said the raconteur te % group of his
acquaintances.
Tve got a friend—a manufacturer's
agent. Last June he leaded two small
offices for $100 a month. 2*i July he sub
let one of the offices to a collector for
$100 a month. In August the collector sub
fet desk room to an advertising agent for
$100 a month. In September the advertis
ing agent put in a double desk and leased
one side of it to a stock legman for $100
ft month.”
“I’m glad you’ve finished with that lie/’
said one of the hearers as the raconteur !
paused for breath.
“It’s true, every word of it, so help me!
Besides, I haven’t finished. This very
October, the stpek salesman sublet for
$100 a month his side of the desk from sun
set till sunrise to the superintendent of a
gang of nightwatchmen.”
n ucimtin in cuds,
From the New York Times.
The German commissioner of the eco
nomic league, who was allowed to land
in Cuba "against government rules"—
some gold in the palm sufficed, perhaps—
and discovered a demand for German
goods and a hatred for the Americans and
British, cannot be as simple as he seems
to be. Havana, he reported, "is fairly
swimming in gold." That is true; the
Cubans have prospered, some of them
have become Monte Cristos, during the
war. What immense fortunes have been
made in sugar! "Wherever I went,” says
the commissioner, “I was told that all
business men were waiting for German
goods, which in their great variety could
not be replaced by any others." This
should be coupled with the following:
Cuban business men never tire of asking
about the war, and when you picture lo
them the battle in which the Americans
and English got & good licking their eyes
sparkle. Their admiration for German
valor and organizations is unlimited.
They ask: “Did you fight with Htnden
burg or Mackensen? Were you at Gorlice
or Rheims?" They seem to pity the
French, however, while hating the Ameri
cans and English.
All of which must have gratified the
German commissioner, whose hatred for
both Americans and English was bitter.
But who were these "Cuban business
men." he talked with? In most cases, in
fact In about all, they were peninsulars
of old Spain, and not Cubans in point of
view and sentiment. The great body of
"Cuban business men" who could order
from a German trade catalog are Span
iards, some of the second generation; they
arc more loyal to the yellow and red flag
than home keeping Spaniards, and have
an ineradicable dislike for the native
Cuban.
The German commissioner misrepresents
tlie native Cubans. They were pro-ally
during the war, intensely so after the
Americans entered it. They volunteered,
they contributed handsomely to the Red
Cross; a division of Cubans for the front
could have been raised at any time; there
were Cuban ambulances in France, and
Cuban women nursed the wounded.
The Appetizers.
From the Bos Angeles Times.
According to the testimony of numbers
of experienced hotel men the cocktail as
an appetizer was a joke. As a matter of
fact, the fizz, the highball and cocktail
took tlie place of a certain amount of food
and really put a crimp in the appetite in
stead of stimulating it. Tlie cocktail crowd
is eating more than it ever did. It takes
three full courses and is especially strong
on rtch and heavy deserts. Possibly these
do more harm than the stimulant, but
ttiey won't be blamed for it. The point Is
that booze of itself never encouraged the
appetite, but tended rather to blunt or
Stupefy it. As a dinner bell it was a false
alarm.

rCriticism and
Citizenship
It is the plain, public duty of every
citizen to criticize proposed govern
ment measures believed to be harmful.
Swift & Company is in a better pos
ition perhaps, than others, to under
stand the meat packing business in all
its relations to public and private inter
ests, even though the others may have
been giving the subject a great deal of
sincere attention.
Swift & Company is convinced that
interference with its legitimate business
function by governmental agencies,
however well intentioned, would be an
injury to every man, woman and
child who wants meat to eat, as well
as to the men who raise the meat and
to those who dress and distribute it.
Maximum service that cannot
monopolize because of keen competi- \
tion and lack of control over sources
of supply is furnished at a minimum
of profit—a fraction of a cent per
pound from all sources.
Therefore Swift & Company is
taking every legitimate step of citizen
ship to prevent such interference.
