What is aBackache? , ST IS NATURE'S WARNIN6 TO WOMEN Diseases of Woman's Organism Cured and Consequent Pain Stopped by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. “ It seems as though my back would break." Women utter these words over and over again, but continue to crap along and suffer with aches in the small of the back, pain low down in the side, “ bearing-down" pains, ner vousness and no ambition for any task. The v do not realize that the baek is the mainspring of woman's organism, and quickly indicates by aching a dis eased condition of the female organs e or kidneys, and that the aches and pains will continue until the cause is f removed. Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Com pound has been for many years the i one and only effective remedy in such cases. It speedily cures female and kidney disorders and restores the fe male organs to a healthy condition. “ I have suffered with female troubles for over two years, suffering intense pain each month my back ached until it seemed as though it would break, and 1 felt so weak all over that I did not find strength to attend to my work but had to stay in l>ed a large part of the first two or three days every month I would have sleepless nights, bad dreams and severe headaches. All this undermined my health. •• We consulted an old famil v physician, who advised that I try Lydia E. Finkbain's Vege table Compound. I Itegan taking it regularly and sr n found that I could sleep and eat better man I had done for months. Within two months I became regular and I no longer suffer from backache or pain."—Mias Maude Morris. Sec. lynches' Aid and Mission Society, S5 E. Hunter St., Atlanta, Ga. WHY OHIO IS PROUD. Not much is heard of Ohio as a corn state, but only seven out of the other 44 beat it in the size of the crop. The average population of the coun ties of Ohio is about 50,000, but of the fcfc only 20 or 21 exceed that limit. There are more men fit for mili tary duty in Ohio than fought at Muk den. in the Japanese and Russian armies •ombined. If the people of Ohio stood side by side, with outstretched arms, touching finger tips, the line would reach from Boston to San Francisco, with a large margin left. The first settlements in Ohio were made in the southeastern part of the state, but now that section is less pop ulous than almost any other. It con tains no great city. No precious metals have ever been mined in Ohio, but the value of the coal and iron dug out of the Ohio hills every year exceeds that of the gold of Colorado or California. Only one state—Illinois—which is younger than Ohio is more populous. Illinois is much larger in area. No state later in date of settlement has more inhabitants in proportion to its size BY THE GENTLE CYNIC. Oratory is merely taik with a frock coat on. It’s a poor fool that can't be worked both ways.

OUTDOOR LIFE Will Not Offset the 111 Effects of Coffee When One Cannot Digest It. A farmer says; “It was not from liquor or tobacco that 'for ten years or more I suffered from dyspepsia and stomach trouble, they were caused by the use of coffee until I got so bad I had to give up coffee entirely and almost give up eat ing. There were times when I could eat only boiled milk and bread and when I went o the field to work I had to take some bread and butter along to give me strength. “I doctored with doctors and took almost everything I could get for my stomach in the way of medicine, but if I got any better it only lasted a lit tle while until 1 was almost a walking skeleton. “One day I read an ad for Postum and told my wife I would try it, and as to the following facts I will make affidavit before any judge; “I quit coffee entirely and used Postum in its place. I have regained my health entirely and can eat any thing that is cooked to eat. I have increased in weight until now I weigh more than I ever did; I have not taken anv medicine for my stomach since 1 togan using Postum. Why. 1 believe Postum will almost digest an iron wedge. “My family would stick to coffee at first but they saw the effects it had on ine. and when they were feeling bad they began to use Postum, one at a time, until now we all use Pofi£u®. Name given by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich. . Ten days’ trial of Postum in place of coffee proves the truth, an easy ana pleasant way. “There’s a rea®°“.

The Bachelor Girl looked wistfully Hit the window. “It’s mother,’’ she said, and waited awhile before she be gan with a sign to tell the story “I’m a little tired," she began. ‘T've been so busy all day waiting on moth er. She’s just gone out to dinner now and I'm taking a rest.” "Was that your mother getting into the cab at the door as 1 came in?" The Bachelor Girl nodded assent. “She seemed very young—that is. judging by the fleeting glimpse I caught of her.” The Bachelor Girl was silent for a minute. "I have been away from home a good while,” she said, musingly. "About five years, 1 think, I left home with a very distinct impression of mother. Since I could remember she sat quietly somewhere, knitting lace or mitts or socks or something, hardly ever looking up. very quiet, very de mure. very peaceful, finished with life, as it were.” She went to a drawer of the chif foniere and got out some pieces of lace, which she laid in her friend's lap, say ing: "This is the sort of stuff site knitted. She sent it to me for pillow slips and one thing or another. That was when father was alive. Father was of a dominant nature. He controlled every thing and everybody within his reach or hearing. That was why I left home. 1 had something of his will. I wouldn’t let him bend it. But mother —he had her under such complete con trol it was almost pitiful. He died about a year ago. and then I thought to myself: The dear little meek, van quished mother shall come to New York and see the sights. It will be a change lor her. I hate to think of her there by the window in the old home> knitting her life away on useless lace and mittens. Ileside. 1 thought, she can polish my candlesticks for me and clean up niv studio when 1 am busy.' "That was five weeks or so ago,” she said with another sigh. ”1 am fond of my mother—very, very fond—but, well, l will tell you. Mother came in all her mourning, dainty and swreet as could he, demure as ever, her big eyes sad. with the old ‘done with life’ look that I remembered. She sat very quietly here for a day. looking out the window in the same way that she had done in the old home. The second day she took her mourning veil, shook it out and placed it quietly in her trunk. It is there now. “She bought herself a dainty gown of white. She put it on that night. A few fellows called. I introduced them to mother. 1 then concocted a little punch. Mother drank a glass or two. Hei eyes brightened. She looked about 30 that night—not more. I served the punch while she entertained my whilom admirers. "The following day mother divided her time Ixdween adding finishing touches to the finery she had bought, fitting a waist correctly, changing a flower of so in her hat and washing her hair. Then she went to the hairdresser and manicurist. She bought some new slippers, little white slipi>ers to wear in the evening, she told me. She added a trailing gown to her collection, which bj- now had outgrown my clothes presses and chiffonier. She added a few more hats, a handsome umbrella, more lingerie and a long lace wrap for evening. “That night the fellows who had called the previous night brought a. few friends to look at mother. And she was well worth looking at. She had bought n bit of rogue Her hair was in a marcel wave. An aigrette adorned it. She looked about 20 in the delicate shades of the rose lights. "That night as she kissed me she said: ‘All these years I have been asleep, Mary, dear. 1 have just waked up.’ “But 1, too, was beginning to waken. Those fellows! They didn’t matter. For all 1 eared they might go or come; but when Sammie should return from his trip to the west. What then? “1 dropped my work. I had to. I waited on mother. After the exertion of entertaining the nigh* before—and she entertained well—shs slept late. I tiptoed about, preparing her little breakfast. I saw to her batli and put great soft white towels within her reach. All day long, from morning fill night. I waited on mother. My studio overflowed with her finery. As she stepped out of her gowns 1 hung them up for her. "My studio became a rendezvous for my former admirers, who were now the admirers of my mother. At first I was invited to the little cafe' suppers given in her honor. Then, by and by, they left me out. and from my lonely window I waved her kisses as she stepped gayly into automobile or cab. “It was all very well. It didn’t mat ter, so long as Sammie remained away. My mother grew younger and younget until she looked like a girl. Tae long and dreary years that she had slept i had kept the youth in her. The life ol j New York went straight to her head. The excitement became her. She was beautiful. Beautiful. And then—” ] “And then?” said her friend. “Then Sammie came home," said the bachelor girl. “Well?” The eyes of the bachelor girl were fixed on the window, and they were sad. “Did you see the young man whe was helping mother into the cab?” she questioned presently. “Yes.” “That was Sammie.”—N. Y. Press. Disqualified. “Cheer up, dear,” she said to her dying husband. “I can keep boarders, you know.” “Ah, but you forget.” he sadly re plied, “that you have never had your own carriage to ride in. and you have no rich relatives whose offers of help you can spurn to show your inde pendence.”—Judge.

Dr. George E. Butler Tells How to Bat and How to As similate. Dr. George F. Butler, medical super intendent of the Alma Springs Sani tarium, Alma, Mich., in the October number of "How to Live,' gives some interesting as well as sensible rules for acquiring and keeping health. He says: "Without we eat and drink, we die! The provocative to do both rests with the a]»petite, which, in process of time, becomes a very uncertain guide; for the palate will often induce a desire and relish for that which is most mischievous and indigestible The old saying of eat what you like' is now shunned by everybody of 20 years' experience. Still, without appe tite, it is a very difficult affair to sub sist—for the pleasure de]>ends chiefly upon the relish. The relish may be come, as has been stated, a vitiated one, but it is quite possible to make the stomach, by a little forbearance and practice, as enamored of what is wholesome and nutritious, as of that which is hurtful and not concoctible.' Again he says: "The delicate should feed carefully, not abundantly; it is not quantity which nourishes, but only thar which assimilates.'’ “Be careful of your digestion-’ is the keynote of the doctor's argument. He says: "Health in man. as in other anir als. depends upon the proper per formance of all functions. These functions may be shortly said to be three: (1) tissue change: (2) rev rnoval of waste: (21 supply of new material. For the activity of man, like the heat of the fire by which he cooks his food, is maintained by combustion: and just as the fire may be prevented from burning brightly by improper disposition of the fuel, or imperfect supply of air. and as it will certainly go out if fresh fuel is not supplied, and may be choked by its own ashes, so man's activity may be lessened by imperfect tissue change and may be put an end to by an in sufficient supply of new material and imperfect removal of waste products. “We should see to it that free elim ination is maintained, for the ashes must be kept out of the system in or der to have good health. The skin, kidneys and bowels must do their eliminative work properly. If the iwwcip utxMiuuaui unit* lurpiu, try to regulate them with exercise and proper food, such as fruits, green vegetables, salads, cereals, corn, whole wheat or graham bread, fish, poultry, light soups, etc. . Flenty of water is also valuable, and a glass full of cold or hot water the first thing upon ris ing in the morning will aid much in overcoming constipation. Regulai habit, coid baths, and massage are very efficacious. In case the consti pation does not yield to these hygi enic measures, some simple, harmless laxative may he required, such as Cali fornia Syrup of Figs—a non-irritating preparation of senna in fig syrup Laxative mineral wafers are bene ficial in some cases, but not to be em ployed continually. “Above all be an optimist, keep the heart young. Cultivate kindness cheerfulness and love, and do not for get that ‘we shall pass through this world but once.’ Any good thing therefore, that we do. or any kind ness that we show to any human be ing. let us do it now. Let us not defer it or neglect it. for we shall not pass this way again.’’ ALL TRUE. Too many bills are apt to make a man feel bilious. The fools are not all dead. In fact, a lot of Thom haven't besn born. Joy eoinetb in the morning—unless you've been making a night of it. It's a mistake to marry too young, but it's a mistake that isn't repeated. A woman is never qitite happy with a man who refuses to argue with her. Many an unsuccessful man would rather preserve his dignity than hustle. It is better to have too little con fidence in yourself than too much in others. We are told that love levels all things, but often it seems like an up hill fight. To indulge in the things we can’t afford is the average man s idea of pleasure. Life is like a game of cards, in which a good deal depends upon a good deal. The fellow who is always under a cloud reminds me of nothing so much as a borrowed umbrella. UTTERLY WORN OUT. Vitality Sapped by Years of Suffering with Kidney Trouble. Capt. J. W.

Good pastry is not difficult to main if a few simple rules be followed. Of course, we all know that pies are net, strictly speaking, as healthful for dessert as fruits or simple puddings. Still when made properly with the best of materials, a&y well-regulated stomach ought to be able to digest them, if not eaten more than once a day. f Men, particularly, arig very fond ol pie, and heartily indorse the senti ment of the late Eugene Field which he expressed in the following lines: Your flavored creams and ices. And your dainty angel-food, Are mighty fine devices To regale the dainty dude; Your terrapin and oysters. With wine to wash 'em down. Are just the thing for roysterers When painting of the town; No flippant sugared notion Shall my appetite appease, Or bate my soul's devotion To apple-pie and cheese! Pastry is either plain paste, or puff paste, according to the amount of but ter worked into it. says Belle Estes in the Prairie Farmer. The plain paste is used for pies and also for the under crust of pies, and the puff paste for the upper crusts of pies, foi patties, tarts and cheese straws. Puff Paste.—Wash one cup of but ter; work one tablespoonful into two cups of flour. Moisten to a stiff dough with cold water. Knead on a floured board. Cover and let stand five min utes. Roll and fold in remainder of the butter. Roll ant} fold again. Continue until the paste has been rolled and folded five times. Let it stand five minutes until you get your pans ready. Then make your pie in the ordinary manner with upper and lower crust. However. I prefer to use the plain paste for the lower crust and the puff paste for the upper. If there is any of the paste left it may be kept sweet and good four or five days, by rolling in a piece of cheese cloth or an old napkin and putting it in a cool place. If you do not care to keep it over, make of the puff j paste some cheese straws or some | tarts. 10 mawe tne cneese straws, wmcn are delicious, roll the puff paste one fourth of an inch thick; sprinkle one half of it with grated cheese; fold over and roll out; repeat twice, add ing cheese each time. Then cut in Etrips six inches long and one-third j of an inch wide. They will almost ! double in thickness in baking. Make tarts by cutting three-inch squares out of the paste; brush over with water and then bend the four corners toward, but not quite to the center; bake and when cold put jam. 1 jelly or apple filling in the center. The apple filling is inexpensive, deli cious and easy to make. One cup of fine apple sauce, two tablespoons of butter, melted, one-fourth cup of | sugar, one-half teaspoonful of lemon : juice. Plain Paste.—Mix thoroughly one ha!f cup of lard with one heaping cup of flour and a little salt, then add only enough cold water to just hold the dough together. Roll out half the dough at a time on a lightly floured board. All should be done as quickly as possible, as the crust will be more tender and flaky. AGAINST CANNING TIME. Get Every thing Ready Before Putting TJp Fruit—Test Bottles and Covers. Before commencing the work, have all requisite utensils, vessel and ne cessities at hand and perfectly clean. Scales, jars, a strainer, colander, skimmer, silver spoon, perforated wooden spoon, preserving kettle, jelly bag. measuring cup, funnel, tray, dish pan. towels, holders, and plenty of hot water and a big kitchen table. For a small family select pint jars; for a large family, quart jars are better than half-gallon. Do not use old, stiff rubbers; they are not safe. Fill each jar full of water, seal and in vert. If it leaks, do not use it. no matter how slight the leak. The trouble may be with the rubber, or the top, or some flaw in the jar top. Remedy the evil if you can. but do not attempt to use until all leakage is stopped, using the rubber and top with the jar that has been tested. Canning must be done right or it is but a waste of time and material. Cboose the cool, early morning for the work of putting up. but it is best to have the fruit gathered the night before, and remember, that fruit gathered on a rainy day. or while the dew is on it, will not keep well, and many find it almost, if not quite, im possible to make such fruit “jell.” Fruits should be rather under-ripe than over-ripe as it will make much better preserves and jellies and keep better, with better flavor. Remember, too, that you can get out of the can only what you put in it; poor fruits will make poor conserves.—The Com moner. NOTES FOB, THE HOUSEKEEPER. Butter will take the soreness from a bruise and will often prevent dis coloration. Strips of stiff buckram sewed along the edges of rugs will prevent their curling up. Try cooking spinach in bouillon in stead of water and note the improve ment in flavor. Pulverized chalk, wet with am monia will be found useful for remov ing spots in a marble wash basin caused by the dripping from the faucet. A recipe for paste that never dries or sours is to add one teaspoonful of powdered alum and ten drops of clove oil to a pint of very smooth thick paste. Toasted bread is deemed excellent even for invalids, a point in-its favor being that as a consequence of the toasting process it makes less of a tax upon the digestive tunctions than does ordinary bread.
