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.

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. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large let ters and figures “16 ozs.” Demand De fiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron stick ing. Defiance never sticks. Profit in Ostrich Farming. Ostrich farming in South Africa con tinues a most profitable business. Opportunity. Opportunity is rare, and a wise man will never let it go by him.

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. His old chum Brown, also of the bar. after hearing of the rural de lights for a long time consented finally to spend Sunday on "the farm.” He v as received with all the honors and all the attractions were shown to him.

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. Whether this explanation is complete or not. it is said to be known that the Ar mours have been selling their plants in Iowa, having dropped a large sum in the venture.—Springfield (Mass.)

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.
