Mother
A nervous , irritable mother , often on the verge of hysterics , is
unfit to care for children ; it ruins a child's disposition and reacts
upon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers
too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female
weakness , and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves
that governing a child involves ; it is impossible for her to do anything
calmly. She cannob help it , as her condition is due to suffering and
shattered nerves caused by some derangement of the uterine system
with backache , headache , and all kinds of pain , and she is on the verge
of nervous prostration.
When a mother finds that she cannot be calm and quiefc with her
children , she maybe sure that her condition needs attention , and she can
not do hotter than to take Lyclia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound.
This medicine will build up her system , strengthen her nerves , and
enable her to calmly handle a disobedient child without a scene. The
children will soon realize the difference , and seeing their mother quiet ,
will themselves become quiet.
Mrs. May Brown , of Chicago , 111. , says :
" DEAH MRS. PINKHAM : * Honor towhom
honor is due , ' and you deserve both the thanks
and honor of the mothers of America whom you
have so bleesedly helped and "benefited. I have
used iLydia E. 'Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound "when I would feel run-down , nervous
and irritable , or have any of the aches and pains
which but fewwomen escape , and I have found
that it relieved me at once and gave me new
strength. Several ladies , memBers of our Lit
erary Union , speak in the highest praise of your
Vegetable Compound , as they have been cured
from serious female troubles. One lady ,
who thought she must submit to an opera
tion , was cured without using anything in
the world but Lydia E.Pinkliain's Vege

You have hosts of friends in Chicago , and
if you came to visit our city we would delight to do
you honor. Gratefully yours , MRS. MAT BROWN , 57 Grant Place , Chicago , 111.
How Mrs. Pinkham Helped Mrs. McKinny.
" DKAK MRS. PINKHAM : I feel it my duty to write and let you know the
good you and your Vegetable Compound are doing. I had been sick ever since
my first baby was born , and at the birth of my second , my doctor , as well as
myself thought I should never live through it. After that menstruation never
came regular , and when it came I suffered terribly. I also had womb and
ovarian trouble. A friend of my husband's advised him to get Ijydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for me. At first I had no faith in it ,
but now nothing could induce rue to be without it. Menstruation has become
regular , and I feel like a new woman. Your medicine is a God-send to suffer
ing women. I hope this letter will lead others to try ! Lydia E. Pinkhan's
Vegetable Compound. Yours truly , MRS. MILDRED McKiNNY , 28 Pearl

TTie Blood.
The blood is life. We derive from the
life , power , beauty , and reason , as
the doctors have been saying from time
immemorial. A healthy body , a fresli ap
pearance , and generally all the abilitien
we possess depend on that source of life.
It is therefore the duty of every sensible
man to keep the blood as pure and nor
mal as possible. Nature , in its infinite
wisdom , has given us a thermometer in
dicating the state of the blood , which
appeals to our reason by giving notice of
its impurity. Small eruptions of the skin ,
to which we scarcely pay any attention ,
headache , ringing noises in the ears , lassi
tude , sleeplessness , are generally a sign
that the blood is not in its normal state ,
but is filled with noxious substances.
These symptoms deserve our full atten
tion. If more attention were paid to
those symptoms , and steps taken to re
move them , then many illnesses from
which we suffer would become unknown ,
and the human body would become
stronger and healthier. Attention there
fore should be paid to those warning
signs , and the blood can be purified and
poisonous substances removed from it by
the use of Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg
Drops , discovered more than sixty > ears
ago.

THE SPRINTING ROACH.
How the Ant Played Upon HUa Weak
ness andVon ,
Once upon a time there was a roach
lived in a hole in the wall next door
lo a wise old ant Now it happened that
the ant did not like the roach and would
gladly have murdered him but for the
roach's size and great strength , which
made the ant no match for him in a con
test of strength.
The ant placed poison at the roach's
door , but the roach was wary and ate
it not. One evening , when the lady of
the house came into the room to look
for roaches , the ant called upon the
roach to come out of his hole , hoping
the lady would kill him , but the roach
heard her footsteps and kept close.
Next the ant tried to compass the de
struction of the roach by daring him to
climb up the side of the wall , hoping
that the roach would fall from a great
height and break his neck. The roach ,
however , refused to climb.
Now it happened that the roach was
a great sprinter and was very proud
Of his ability to get over the ground in
a hurry. The ant chanced to think of
this , and going to the roach , challenged
him to a footrace. The roach accepted
the challenge at once and stated that
tie could run faster with his front feet
tied than any bandy legged ant in the
whole house. The ant selected the spot
where the foot race was to be run ,
which was across a yellow sheet of pa-
? er on the window sill. Hither both the
ant and the roach went and halted at
the edge of the sheet of paper.
"Are you ready ? " cried the roach.
"I am ! " shouted the ant.
"Go ! " yelled the roach , and with that
started across the sheet of paper at a
dreadful pace , only to fall down and
stick fast in a nauseous mire ere he had
gone two inches. The ant did not start
at all , for well ke knew that the race
course was across a sheet of flypaper.
Moral : There is a weak spot in er-
ery man's armor if you can but find it

Trade in Rabbit Skins.
The English rabbit skin trade is one
of interest to Americans , according to
a report made to the State Depart
ment by United States Consul Hal-
stead at Birmingham. "Instead , " he
says , "of being sent to certain parts of
the European continent where for a
great many years rabbit skins intend
ed ultimately for American use have
undergone a process known as pulling
a few bales of these skins were ship
ped last winter , experimentally , direct
from Birmingham to the United States.
It was thought , a shipper told me , that
we had produced a new machine in
the United States which could pull out
the long hair of rabbit skins at less
cost than by the extremely cheap hand
labor of the continent. I learn that the
machine experiment was not a success ,
and I know the English dealers who
were interested in the American ven
ture are again sending their skins to
the continent , where the long , useless
hairs are laboriously pulled out by
hand and the skins reshipped to hat
manufacturers in the United States ,
who shave off the close hair and use
this fur to make felt hats.
"Millions of rabbits , British and Aus
tralian , are consumed annually in
Great Britain. Dealers purchase skins
from game and poultry shops , and
where rabbits are dressed in house
holds there is , as a perquisite , a penny
apiece to the cook. One Birmingham
dealer tells me he handled 3,000,000
rabbit skins last year. "
Nuilles and Macaroni.
"Many persons believe nudles orig
inated in Germany , " says a New York
Italian arm of the law , "but such is
not the case , for nudles , macaroni ,
spaghetti and vermicelli are the same ,
only of different shapes and sizes. Nu
dles is a hand-made preparation of the
mountain , and nearly every Italian and
German family in America makes it
by hand. Italians never bake maca
roni or paste in any form. The only
way to eat it is boiled. In Italy the
cooking of this dish is left to the head
of the family , whether he be rich or
poor , if he has the time. The paste is
dropped into boiling water , and when
done is drained in a colander. A pot-
roast gravy is made , with lima beans ,
tomatoes and mushrooms added. Then
a layer of macaroni is put in a plat
ter and covered with the sauce , some
Italian pepper and grated Parmesan a
cheese ; then another layer , and more
sauce , pepper and cheese , until the dish
is filled. That makes an artistic dish.
Careless people simply dump the maca
roni into a deep dish , pour on all the
sauce , pepper and cheese and stir ev
erything together. "

BY AN EMPEROR
SAVED BY PE = RU = NA
Rev. H. Stubenvoll , of Elkborn , Win. , is pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran
St. John's Church of that place. Rev. Stubenvoll is the possessor of two Bibles
presented to him by Emperor William of Germany. Upon the fly leaf of one of
the Bibles the Emperor has written in his own handwriting a text.
This honored pastor , in a recent letter to The Penina Medicine Co. , of Colum
bus , Ohio , says concerning their famous catarrh remedy , Peruna :
The Peruna Medicine Co. , Columbus , Ohio.
Gentlemen : "I had hemorrhages of the lungs for a long time ,
and all despaired of me. I took Peruna and was cured. It gave me
strength and courage , and made healthy , pure blood. It Increased
my weight , gave me a healthy color , and 1 feel well. It is the best
medicine in the world. If everyone kept Peruna in the house it
would save many from death every year. " H. STLJBBNVOLL.
Thousands of people have catarrh who
would be surprised to kuow it , because
it has been called some other name than

that Peruna cures catarrh wherever
