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. I
would advise its use by all young girls
at this critical period of life.” —Mrs.

Bamboo Has Fast Growth.
The growth of the bamboo is swift.
In the morning a shoot appears above

is waist high. On the second day it is
as tall as a man, and in less than
three weeks the bamboo rods ore from
18 to 19 inches in circumference and
tower to a height of 60 or 70 feet.
There is one place in Abbeville, La.,
where McIUienny lias grown a grove
that towered to 70 feet in 19 days.
There is a variety of bamboo that is

THE CHOICE OF CHILDREN’S
BOOKS.
By Charlotte L. Macintosh.
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.

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.”

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.

Women of Middle Age
Owing to modem methods of living not one woman in a thousand
approaches this perfectly natural change in her life without experi
encing a train of very annoying and sometimes painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, smothering spells, fainting spells,
nervous troubles and irregularities are symptoms that should have
prompt attention. These two letters prove what a successful <
remedy Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is for women
at this time of life. *•
