WOMAN SUFFERED THREE MONTHS Pams in Back and Nervousness. Made Well by Lydia L Pinkliam’s Vegetable Compound Montevideo, Minn.—“I suffered for three months with pain in mv back and sides, and was awful nervous so that I was unfit to do my work. After I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com ■pound I grew strong, and now I weigh 150 pounds. I keep nouse and am able to lift and do any kind of work. I have got wonderful results from the Vegetable compound and recommend it very highly ,to my friends.

Another Nervous Woman Finis Relief Port Huron, Mich.— *‘I suffered for two years with pains in my side, and if I worked verjr much I was nervous and just as tired in the morning as when I went to bed. I was sleepy all the day and didn't feel like doing anything, and was so nervous I would bite my finger nails. One of my friends told me about Lydia E.

Backus Health is the Most Valu able Asset You Have Newago, Mich.—“Some years ago I was troubled with dizziness, palpita tion, loss of appetite and sore and pain ful stomach. I tried the best physicians I could hear of, and also several put-up medicines, but nothing did me any good. Some physicians said it was my 1 heart; seme said it was my stomach; while others said it was my nerve9. I got so bad I could not work very stead ily, when a friend came to see me and insisted upon my trying Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. I was dis couraged, but tried it anyway, and after taking the second bottle I felt much better, I then bought six bottles and I believe the ‘Discovery’ saved my life.

"While the best fir« protection on the farm will alwavs be prevention, auch as per Arc t chim»»ys, care In threshing time, secure stoves, stove pil^s that fit tightly Into the chim neys and are protected by metad Col lars, safety in handling matches, the use of only perfect oil stoves and lamps, still there Is much to be done In case fire actuajly occurs. Careless autolsts in summer are apt to throw lighted cigars and matches by the icadside, railroad files will start and sweep over fields and forests, and accidents will hap pen in spite of nil precaution. So It Is well to know simple rules for pro tection and try to keep cool If fire does break out. one or t ne common causes or coun try fires is that fat boil* over on tha kitchen stove. When this happens, many excited women throw water on the blaze and cause it to spread. Salt or ashes quickly thrown on the fir» will smother the blaze, bit most wo men do not like- a paii of ashes standing about the kitchen. However, when fat is tried out, or when dough nlits are made, it is well to provide the ashes or a jar of salt, so that in case any accident happens the rem edy can be at hand. A pail of ashes standing in a tiny kitchen for a few hours will* not ruin the reputation of any good housekeeper. Sparks on the roof, when the shingles are dry, cause a large num ber of country fires, also. A window where some one can get out on the roof quickly, or a ladder that can be raised In a minute or two, will often prevent a serious fire. Tearing off the shingles quickly or using a pall 'or two of water, will quench ttye flames and save the house. Of course, carrying water up a ladder is not swift work, hut where it can be done by several persons a bad fire can be extinguished. Where there is a tank and water pressure, or a gasoline engine, a coil of hose always at hand Is one of the best fire protectors any farm can have. Sprinkling the ifeof thoroughly at threshing time, or when the chim ney burns out, lessens the danger materially. A steady stream of wa ter, even if small, turned on a blaze ■ will do wonders toward, putting out the blaze. Teach children the danger of fire. Instead of trying to extinguish tho blaze, unless they are alone, the chil dren should be taught to raise ar. outcry at once. No fear of punish ment should deter them from report ing the trouble. On our farm, two boys sneaked into tfle barn to have a private smoke, and a smaller lad was afraid to tell on them. By great good luck the hired man caught them smoking and saved what might hava been a bad fire. A man in our coun ty lost his entire outfit of barns and Bheds by boys smoking in the barn. The boys were frightened when they saw what they had done and tried to put out the blaze, but It got such headway that everything was swept away. Fires caused by poachers In the woods, or by sparks from railroad engines, are best fought with the plow. Burning a space in *front of the fire is also good. At my old home a few rods from the railroad track, where the prevailing winds always blew toward the house and barn, we never have had a bad fire. There have been times when things \ooked bad, but by telephoning for the sec tion men and plowing a strip around the dry meadows and keeping the lawns free from material that would quickly take fire, we still have the homestead free from fire. Gf course, In dry weather we always were on the lookout to put out Incipient blazes in the grass, and this no doubt saved the day many times. So each^and every country family should see to it that ihe members know how to fight fire as well as how to prevent it. Materials are so high and labor is so expensive that all buildings should be saved from the destructive blaze. With no fire protection such as the city must keep up, country people must depend upon themselves, so it is worse than folly to go to pieces in an emergency and lose the chance of saving the build ings, which is always possible If the fire Is discovered before it gains much headway. ♦ Every farm ought to have a handy chemical fire extinguisher; better still, one for the house and one for the bam. A bad fire can be stopped before It really gets a start by the use of one of these extinguishers. Even all these precautions do not make Insurance unnecessary. All farm property should be insured in a dependable farm mutual or private insurance company. For fire-fighting suggestions, write your State Fire Marsnal. Do You Believe in Signs. A crack in your chimney Is a suni sign that you are going to move. It you dream of smalling smoke, it is a sign that you are asleep and had bet ter wake up. To see a paper-hanger papering over a flue hole indicates an impending loss. It Is had luck to look In a dark closet with a match. If you can see your shadow from an oil lamp while filling a gasoline stove, It indicates a crowd of people Is com ing to your house. When the wind moans. It is extremely bad luck to burn trash near the house. If you smell gas or gasoline and look for it Tith a light, it foretells that you are noout to start on a long • journey. Even if your house and furniture are covered by Insurance, it Is _extnemely unlucky to have them burn on Fri day, the 13th.

BY F. A. WRAY, London—Do single people live lon ger than married? Two of Britain's most famous doc tors—Bernard Hollander, the re nowned alienist, and Sir Bruce Porter heay of the Army Medical Service have just been discussing tills ques tion in public, and in both cases their answer is a strong negative. Both begin by dismissing the sub ject of unhappy marriages, wnich, from their experience, they are in clined to view as an almost negligible percentage. “I treat the matter from a homely, human point of view,” says Dr. Hol lander. “Married life, first and fore most, conduces to comfort; it con duces to regular habits in sleeping and feeding; it promotes public mor ality, hygienic conditions and elimin ates the risks attendant on promis cuous social indulgence. “The bachelor is apt to become careless with regard to his health. But the wife makes it her first care to watch over her husband’s health, and once a man is married, he, too, takes greater care of himself that he may not fail In his duty of those to ward/ whom he has responsibilities. "Home life is one of the greatest ingredients of health. What married man does not look back with loathing to the interminable succession of meals taken in restaurants? What thought did he give to his diet? “Not only physically, but also men tally, is this wifely companionship a boon. Are not most elderly bachelors and spinsters, too, unhappy? Very, few bachelors of my acquaintance who have passed the age of 50 can honestly say that they are complete ly happy. "My married friends of the same age, on the other hand, are mostly in full enjoyment of life, kept healthy and contented by their family inter ests.” "Celibacy, to me, is a new prescrip tion for old age,” says Sir Bruce Por ter. “I have met men who attributed their longevity to beer; others to tce totalism, others to cold baths; but this is the first time that 1 have ever hear any suggestion that bachelor hood led to old age. "Day by day, with scalpel and mi croscope, we explore that strange and still uncharted continent, the hu man being. More and more, as our pilgrimage advances, do we realise the mingling of mind and matter. “And marriage is a mental upheav al far greater than a physical one. “It follows that the married man is a different being from the bache lor. He has a different mind, dif ferent interests, and this mental at mosphere reacts on his physical be ing. Tme married man of 40 is r.nt onlj more likely to live' longer than i. bachelor of the same age, but he ir younger.-in himself. The-great secret, of course, lies in his children. "\Tan, containing two germs on their way through the ages, the germ of mind and the germ, of the body, should pass these on as his motif. "After middle age he lives a great deal in the future. “When he has children and cun set in them the next links in the chain there is much joy ip life in helping to make these links strong, so that they in turn shall keep the chain unbroken The bachelor must have the feeling of regret that in hiu case the motif does not run and, with him, the chain ends. "Youth begets youth as sure as sunshine breeds health. Age is a question of environment. "Love is a great factor in health. The average old bachelor is the sad dest thing in life. Curled up in his chair, forlorn, disconsolate, he is a derelict, with no star by which to set his course. "A wife gives her husband addi tional motif, a rhythm by which to march. A son sets his brain glowing with the memories of his own tri umphs in the past. A visit to tlie nursery is a greater restorative than visits to health resorts. "We live, to a very large extent, because we want to live. And when the motive has gone life stagnates.” JUDGE PIQUED AS BOARD WOULD RELEASE CONVICT International Pfews Service. Dalton, Ga.—Judge M. C. Traver, of the Cherokee circuit, was "peeved when the state prison commission re quested him to make sortie recom mendation as to whether or not George Lowry, sent up from one. of the counties In the judge's circuit for violation of the prohibition law, should be pardoned and directed a spicy-letter to that body, in which he Informed the commission that "no good reason existed” why the com mission "should not recommend emptying the Georgia pentitentiary,” if they desired to be consistent. The judge's letter was sarcastic In pointing out various caaes where the prlsor\ commission had failed to make requests in issuing pardons and concluded, with quoting his oath < ' office and recommending that Lowr “be allowed, to receive adequate pun ishment, represented by the sentenc« he is now serving.” WOMEN ARE DISCUSSING WAGES, HEALTH RULES Washington, Jan. 12 (A.

Patten, widely known nnd esteemed resident of 500 Cumberland Ave., Portland, Me. "When I began the use of Tanlac I had not felt rigiit for a long time and was all run down. After persist ently taking the treatment considered best for such a condition I got no better. In fact I seemed to be growing worse until a lady friend in sisted on me trying Tanlac. "At that time I took two or three bottles and was perfectly well again. Since then I hnve taken a bottle two or three times a year and no one could feel better. I have done lots of nurs ing of the sick, and since Tanlac did so much for me I have been the cause of many others taking It—always with splendid results, It is with this knowledge and experience that I rec ommend Tanlac as a wonderful med icine."
