I* Wren a Woman is Nervous—Worried The lives of most women are full of worry. Men’s troubles are bad enough, but women’s are worse. Worry makes women sick. It pulls them dowii, and in their weakened condition they are sub ject to pains, aches, weakness, back aches, neaddclfes and dizzy spells. Most women neglect their health, and for this they pay the penalty. Any woman will find that neglect does not pay. A little more atten tion to heith would brighten up her life. If she asks her neighbois she ftruls that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Jrenefitg & woman’s whole systeyi. It not only acts upon the t»ou Dies and weaknesses peculiar to women, but te an all round tonic that bfaces the entire body, overcoming nervousness, sleeplessness, headaches, dizziness end a run-down condition. Dixon, Nebe.—" For the young girl developing into womanhood there is nothing better than Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription as a tonic and builder. At that time of my life I was sadly in need of something to strengthen and build me up and I found just tne tonic I needed in the Prescription.

One day recently an aunt, one of those family institution aunts to whom everybody takes his troubles, said to me: “Why is it that our chil dren are still being told stories and given story .books which are full of pernicious rubbish? I’ve just re turned from visitrng my nieces who are ^usually so thoughtful about the welfare of their children that I ex pected something better in their nur series, but, instead X found their little ones immersed in the old tales of fear, cruelly and wicked step mothers. Moreover, these stories were in the most wonderfully illustrated books! In choosing the books a great Interest had been shown in the artists who made the pictures, but open indifference toward the stories.” “That answers the ‘Why,’ I ven tured. As yet, few of the beet story books are wonderfully illustrtUed” and consequently lose th& opportunity to capture the indifferent purchasers. Of course this indifference is not in tentional. Devoted mothers would shudder at the thought ‘of bringing harmful playmates into the lives'of tiieir children and yet through the careless purchase of books they often introduce their little ones to vicious conupany! The advertising power of the illus tration is the cause of much of the trouble. “Here am I,“Series the pret ties picture book on the shop counter, and the purchaser looks no further. It is quite likely that this same book is the usual version pf Cinderella, en cumbered with the odious step mother, not at all necessary to the plot, but contributing frem one gen eration to^another to an unwhole some prejudice. Tlje charming Irish version, which ^ntirely omits this character, is- noT^so easily*found by the casual buyer? If, however, that casual buyer wishes to become more purposeful, thesp is a long list of bemks full of helpful directions which may be consulted. For the sake of brevity only four are mentioned. These books are sug gestive and contain many delightful stories. It is almost certain that one or more of them can be found in any public library, and „a study of the suggestions and lists which they con tain will be 'of great assistance.

From the Weekly Telegraph, London. “In your sermon this morning you . spoke of a baby as a new wave on the ocean of life,” remarked the father of an overgrown family to the vicar after SOME BABY TRAINING. *'l wonder If ray experience might 1* helpful," Mrs. L. writes to the woman who recently wrote about her boy who holds hls breath aRd faints. "My boy Is 3 years old. Until the last three months ho held hls breath and fainted at every little hurt. "He never liked anything but meat and sweets and would vomit when I tried to make him eat food he should. The doctor told me Just to let him get hun gry until he would eat. He would not eat oatmeal. So when he gets up In the morning I give him a drink of warm water, let him see that I have his oat meal ready for him when he gets hungry for it, but do not force him to eat it, as he would only throw It up. "I am firm about It, so that he knows If he waits until almost noon that oat meal Is the next thing he eats. At first he would not eat It until ID o'clock or after, J»ut now he wants It about 8 and I do not hare much trouble about It. “He did not like oranges, so I sweet ened the Juice of an orange,'held my arm tight around hls shoulders, and poured the Juice In hls mouth. Most of It went down the outside of hls neck, the first few times, but after that he took It all right. "It was very hard to get him to take as much milk as he needed, so when he came In and wanted a drink I filled the glass first with milk and afterwards water. He would drink more milk when thirsty, but also has it with hls meals. I-also have him oat potatoes, which he does not like, before I let him have meat or dessert.,,^. ****&*>««* - - "Manyumes he left the table at noon rather than eat potatoes. I always put hls plate away just as he left- It until he came In about 1:30 or 2 o’clock and asked for It. "I thought an egg would be good. As he would not eat it I heat an egg, added a ctfb of milk with melted chocolate and sugar and warmed It. He now has that mixture for supper. So he has four cups of milk, one egg, an orange, oatmeal, bread and butter, potatoes each day. He has had some carrot but not as much yet as I woukUllke him to hava "When he was hurt and first started to cry we called loudly for some one to bring cold water to sprinkle on hls face. The mention of It will save him If I make him understand quickly before he be comes unconscious. I do not think pun ishments do any good, as be Is weak and pale and does not remember or re alize what has happened. "I Just suggest that as there may be som<S food which the little boy Is not getting which ffls body needs. “It was hard for me to train him, as I think my boy Is not as.fond of me, but nevertheless I am glad he has not held hls breath In three or four months. He did that frequently before.” —4— NEEDS FURTHER INQUIRJ. E. W. writes: "I am having consider able trouble with my right arm. It is not swollen or sore o» the surface, and I can use it freEly within limited radius, but a sudden wi'each causes intense pain. At times it feels as. if I had cramp. Tho arm seems to grow worse rather than better. I diagnose the trouble as neu ritis. Am I right? If so, what is the proper treatment? My age is 61.'’ Reply. Neuritis is a possible diagnosis. .Pres sure on the nerve by an extraftwb in the neck and bursitis around the shoulder are afher possibilities. The fact Vhat the pain results from unusual twists of tlie arm suggest some mechanical trouble rather than an ordinary neuritis. Your case requires further probing. Palm Rich In Sugar. From the Wall Street Journal. "What is sweeter than honey?” said the young men of Timnath at Sam son’s wedding feast. In thoge days of no sugar a young man on Saturday eve ning could not lfuy a box of candy to sweeten his welcome. How discourag ing to romance when he must needs rob a bee’s nest and wrap up a comb of sticky honey in the folds of his toga to take with him. Imagine the evolu tion of sugar. Perhaps some swain, tired of the weekly*stringing by angry bees, sought a substitute, for necessity is the mother of discovery also. A kind fate led him to the sugar cane growing wild in East India and other tropical countries. Centuries later the returning crusad ers brought the cane to Europe, and sugar making became commercialized. Later, necessity brought about the pro cess of extracting sugar from maple trefs and beets. Again the supply fell below human needs, and £gain necessity acted as guide to the discoverer. Palm sugar Is nothipg new, but recent experi ments show t^at one particular palm, the nipah, yields a juice rich in sugar, averaging 1£ per cent. An acre planted to these trees will yield more sugar than an acre of beets. The people of the Philippines also make alcohol from the juice. Food and fuel can be produced from this one'scprce. Nature has done her part, adventuresome capital should do tire rest. _ - - Notable Progress by France. From the Chicago Dally News.

From the Indianapolis Newa In a statement given out recently, Mr. Elbert H. Gary, head of the Meet cc£ poratlon had something to say* about prices. Most people will agree with him that these In many Instances tmvf'been “outrageously high." “Tjijs observa tion,' he said, “applies more especially to middle men, so-called, and to smaller departments of Industry.
