LIVING TOO HASTILY! AMERICANWQMENBREAKDOWN Irregularities and Female Derange ments Result — Cured by Lydia E. rhnthams Vegetable Compound. Owing to our mode and manner of living, and the nervous haste of every Ionian to accomplish just so much I each day, it is said that there is not one woman in twenty-five but what suffers with some derangement of the ; female organism, and this is the secret of so many unhappy homes. No woman can be amiable, light- j hearted and happy, a joy to her bus- j band and children, and perform the duties incumbent upon her, when she is suffering with backache, headache, nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing, down pains, displacement of the womb, spinal weakness or ovarian troubles. Irritability and snappy retorts take the place of pleasantness, and all sun shine is driven out of the home, and lives are wrecked by woman's great enemy—womb trouble. Read this letter: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “ I was troubled for eight years with irregu larities which broke down" my health and brought on extreme nervousness and despon dency. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound proved to l>e the only medicine which helped me. Day by day I improved in health while taking it until I was entirely cured. I can attend to my social and household duties and thoroughlv enjoy life once more, as Lydia L Pinkham s Vegetable Compound has made me a well woman, without an ache or a pain.’’ —Mrs. Chf-ster Curry, Saratoga Street, Last Boston. Mass. At the first indication of ill health, painful or irregular menstruation, pain in the side, headache, backache, bearing-down pains, nervousness or ** the blues.’’ secure at once a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound and begin its use. - 3 Made $3.50 SHOES Men. I TV. L.

Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chem icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance.

SIMPLE WALL DECORATIONS. New Material and New Ideas for the Decoration of Homes. The styles of home decorations have completely changed in the last few years, and it is pleasant to say that they have changed for the better. Time was when we hung monstrous patterns printed on paper against our walls, and considered them more or less pleasantly. It would hardly be fair to say that we considered them beau tiful or artistic. But they were the vogue and were put on. The time has come when, with our better meth i ods for interior dedoration, better ef fects can be secured. In wall coverings, whether they be of paint, or of kalsomine, or of Ala bastine—whatever the material used to cover the wall—the thing desired is | that which has the greatest covering power, as well as permanency and beauty of color. Alabastine, a wall covering ground from Alabaster rock —which means a hard white rock—is the ideal covering for a wall. The most beautiful wall decorations in the world are those which are laid on with the brush. The mural designs in our large public buildings, and the frescoed designs in the large cathe drals and churches, have a perma nency and an art of which wall paper is but a cheap imitation. These mural schemes and frescoed designs can be brought within the reach of the every day home. They can be done with Alabastine, which is permanent in its coloring. It does not rub off, and it has the soft effect of pastelle. A great many people defer the re decorating of their rooms not only because of the expense but because of the discomfort of it. With Alabas tine there need be no discomfort and there can be no muss, for all that is needed is to lay a sheet or canvas on the floor, have your man come in with a pail, make the solution and simply brush it on the wall. That is all there is to it, and the room is perfectly clean and thoroughly renovated. It’s as cowardly to speak ill of a man behind his back as it is danger ous to say it to his face. BABY CAME NEAR DYING. From an Awful Skin Humor—* —Scratched Till Blood Ran— Wasted to a Skeleton— Speedily Cured by Cuticura. "When three months old my boy broke out with an itching, watery rash all over his body, and he would scratch till the blood ran. We tried nearly everything, but he grew worse, wasting to a skeleton, and we feared he would die. He slept only when in our arms. The first application of Cuticura soothed him so that he slept in his cradle for the first time in many weeks. One set of Cuticura made a complete and permanent cure. (Signed) Mrs. M. C.

In one of the most fashionable res taurants in Paris last spring a man's life was saved through the skill and quickness of one of the guests. It ap pears that a man. with three friends, was dining at one of the small tables, when a piece of meat lodged in his throat and he found it impossible to get rid of it. His friends in alarm slapped him on the back, hut the un fortunate man became black in the face and fell to the floor. A surgeon from the German hospi tal. who happened to be dining in the cafe, pushed his •wav through the crowd. He saw at once that the man was dying and that if prompt meas ures were not taken he would quick ly succumb. He ordered one of the waiter.s to bring him a small funnel such as is used in bottling wine, and then, without a moment's hesitation, took out a sharp knife, cut the man's throat, removed the piece of meat, and—the waiter having returned— quickly inserted the funnel in the opening. The man was then hastily conveyed to the hospital, where a sil ver tube was inserted in the place of the funnel, and a few hours later he was pronounced out of danger. Idea for Edwin Markham. Gov. William L. Douglas of Massa chusetts, some time ago had as his guest at his beautiful Brockton home Edwin Markham, the poet. The fa mous merchant-statesman in his mod est collection of pictures had a copy of Francois Millet's famous painting, "The Angelus," from which Mr. Mark ham is supposed to have got his inspir ation for his poem. 'The Man With the Hoe."’ The two discussed the merits of the picture at length and in detail not missing any of its many virtues. "There,” said Mr. Markham, point ing to the great wooden sabots wcrn on the feet of the peasant, "shows a great evolution to your product of the present day.” Mr. Douglas’s advertising instinct humorously asserted itself, and he asked: "Mr. Markham, couldn't you possibly I insert the letter ‘S' before the last wcrd of the title of ycur poem, so it would read, ,4The Man With the | Shoe ?"—New York Times. An Ingenious Boy. Not many years ago a frolicsome youngster S years old, who was attend ing one of the district schools in Farre. met an emergency in the fol ' lowing way: He was sitting in an open window at the noon recess, and. seeing the teacher coming, jumped down, catch ! ing the seat of his trousers on a nail as he did so, and tearing out a large ( p'ece where it would be the most con spicuous. What to co he did not know. He could not appear in school in that predicament, and did not want to lose the half day. Retiring to a con venient shelter, he removed his shoes 1 and trousers. From one of the shoes h-1 took the string, and using the sharp point on the end for a needle, he care fully caught the rent together well enough to pass muster for the rest of the day, when he marched home in t’iumph for further repairs. Proving an Alibi. Jones is a well-known young law yer, who some time ago established his home in one of the nearby sub urbs where a cot with an acre and a cow’ is supposed to be the eartblv par adise.

Triumph of the American Hen. Honor to the hen! She has accom plished uraided what the administra fion and the attorney general haven’t succeeded in doing yet. She has smashed a trust and busted a corner It is reported from Iowa that the big packing firms are going out of the butter, egg and poultry business. The explanation is that for a year their attempted egg corner has failed to make good. The hens went to laying at the wrong and unexpected time and before the public had been forced to take the millions of dozens of eggs that the packing trust had in cold storage awaiting fancy prices the hens had smashed the market.

Sir*. Van Scoy Experiences Dangerous After-Effects from Grip and Eearus Value of a Blood Remedy. The grip leaves behind it weakened vital powers, thin blood, impaired di gestion and over-sensitive nerves—a condition that makes the system an easy prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheuma tism, nervous prostration, and even con sumption. The story told by scores of victims of the grip is substantially the same. One was tortured by terrible pains at the base of the skull; another was left tired, faint and in every way wretched from anaemia or scantiness of blood; another hud horrible headai lies, was nervous and couldn’t sleep; another was left with weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and acute neuralgia. In every case relief was sought in vain until the great blood builder and nerve-tonic, Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and thoroughness of action nothing is known that will approach it. Mrs. Van Scoy makes a statement that supports this claim. Sbe says : “I had a severe attack of grip and, be fore I had fully recovered, rheumatism set in and tormented me for three months. I was in a badly run-down state. Soon after it began I was so lame for a week that I could hardly walk. It kept growing steadily worse and at last I had to give up completely and for three weeks I was obliged to keep my bed. My kuees were so stiff I couldn’t bend them, and my hands were perfectly helpless. Then the pains began to threaten my heart and thoroughly alarmed me. “ While I was suffering in this way I chanced to run across a little book that told about the merits of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. The statements in it im pressed me and led me to buy a box. These pills proved the very thing I needed. Improvement set in as soon as I began to take them, and it was very marked by the time I had finished the first box. Four boxes made me a well woman.” Mrs. Laura M. Van Scoy lives at No. 20 Thorpe street. Daubury, Conn. Dr. i Williams’ Pink Pills are equally well ! adapted for any other of the diseases that follow in the train of grip. They tue 6uld by all druggists. DEPLORABLE POINTS. Don't judge cigars and women by their w-rappers. Don’t try to kill two birds with ODe stone. Use a shotgun. Don’t run into debt as long as you can find a stone wall to run into. Don’t judge a man by things his next door neighbors say about him. Don't sit with your back to a sight draft; it may get too warm for you. Don’t request your grocer to sup ply you with butter of the first rank. Don’t punish children by striking them on the head. There are other places. Don’t waste your time disputing fig ures. They seldom lie—except in gas meters. Don’t think because life is short that one set of good resolutions will last a lifetime. Don't forget that the money you intend to save is not drawing inter est at the present writing. Don’t worry about trifles. Remem ber the hole that lets the water in your shoe will let it out again. Don’t imagine that every sad-eyed woman you meet has loved and lost. It’s more than likely she loved and got him. Don’t censure a society woman for entering the theater a little late. She probably had to wash the dinner dishes before she started. Solomon on Vienna Bench.

GREAT CHANGE From Change in Food. The brain depends much more on the stomach than we are apt to sup pose urtii we take thought in the mat ter. Feed the stomach on proper food easy to digest and containing the proper amount of phosphates and the healthy brain will respond to all de mands. A notable housewife in Buf falo writes: "The doctor diagnosed my trouble as a ‘nervous affection of the stom ach.' I was actually so nervous that I could not sit still for five minutes to read the newspaper, and to attend to my household duties was simply impossible. I doctored all the time writh remedies, but medicine did no good. "My physician put me on all sorts of diet, and I tried many kinds of cereal foods, but none of them agreed with me. I was almost discouraged, and when I tried Grape-Nuts I did so with many misgivings—I had no faith that it would succeed where every thing else had failed. “But it did succeed, and you don’t know how glad I am that I tried it I feel like a new person, I have gain ed in weight and I don’t have that terrible burning sensation in my stom- : ach any more. I feel so strong again that I am surprised at myself. ! The street noises that used to irritate j me so, I never notice noy. and my mind is so clear that my household duties are a real pleasure.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich. There’s a reason. Now why was this great change made in this woman? The stomach and the brain had not I been supplied with the right kind of food to rebuild and strengthen the nerve centers in these organs. It is absolute folly to try to do this with medicine. There is but one sure way and that is to quit the old food that has failed and take on Grape-Nuts food which Is more than half digested in the process of manufacture and is rich in the phosphate of potash con tained in the natural grain, which unites wi*>. albumen and water—the only ttose substances that will make up the soft gray filling in the thou sands of delicate nerve centres in the brain and body. Grape-Nuts food is a surr V 4^ Women cf the Kaffirs. The Kaffirs believe that a woman is a necessary appendage to a house hold; the women care for their huts and do all the housework, while the \ men watch the cattle. They do not always marry as young as they like, and yet the youngest and most at tractive girls often go to the ugly, old men with plenty of money. A man is not worried because he cannot win the favor of the girl he wants. Her likes and dislikes count for little. m . .. . Ering Messares from Dead.

The Young Physician. WHAT HIS EXPERIENCE PROVED. In the early sixties it was usually the duty of a practicing physician to ride many miles every day on his regular round of visits upon his patients. In those days a young man who had received a splendid medical training in one of the be>t medical colleges of that day was ac customed to ride ten. twenty or thirty miles or more visiting the sick and afflicted. His success was soon phenom enal. Doctors and families called him for consultation to towns at considerable dis tances by rail. One of his specialties was the cure of those distressing diseases of women. He had early discovered that by combining the vegetable extract of the following medicinal plants in just the right proportion without the use of alco hol—his prescription invariably cured such cases. Later, in order to place this remedy before the public in a shape easily to be procured, he established a labora tory at ltuffalo. X. Y., where regularly qualified chemists were put in charge to accurately prepare his prescription and put it in sha(»e for shipment is> all parts of the United States. This remedy, which he named Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip tion. is not a "patent medicine” in the common acceptance of the term, but a tonic for women, and a regular physi mss MILDRED ( KELLER RESTORED TO HEALTH.
