    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

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

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®.

Her friend found the Bachelor Girl
alone, sitting in the melancholy twi
light of her studio.
“What is it?” she asked.
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.

“Cheer up, dear,” she said to her
dying husband. “I can keep boarders,
you know.”

no rich relatives whose offers of help
you can spurn to show your inde

THE SCIENCE OF LIVING.
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.’’

MAKING GOOD PASTRY.
If People Will Eat Pastry. Delicacy
Must Be Very Carefully Prepared
—Some Directions.
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.
Grease Spots on Wall Paper.
To remove grease spots from wall
paper. Mix pipe-clay with water to
the consistency of cream, spread it
on the spot and leave until the next
day, when it may be easily bmshed
ell. Repeat if necessary.
