Miss Rose Peterson , Secretary Park-
dale Tennis Club from
, Chicago , experi
ence advises all young girls who have pains
and sickness peculiar to their sex , to rely on
Lydia E * Pinldiam's Vegetable Compound *
How many beautiful young1 girls develop into worn , listless and hopeless
women , simply because sufficient attention has not been paid to their physical
development. No woman is exempt from physical weakness and periodic
pain , and young girls /just budding- into womanhood should be carefully
guided physically as well as morally.
If you know of any youncr lady who is side , and needs motherly
advice , ask her to write to Mrs. Pinkliaia at liyiin , Mass. , who will
give lier advice free , from a source of knowledge winch is uii-
equaled in the country. Do not hesitate about stating- details
which one may not like to talk about , and wkiclit are essential
for a full understanding- the case.
fliss Hannah E. flershon , Collings-
wood , N. J. , says :
"I thought I would , write and tell you
that , by following your kind advice , I feel like
a new person. I was always thin and delicate ,
and so weak that I could hardly do anything.
Menstruation was irregular.
"I tried a bottle of your Vegetable Com
pound and began to feel better right away. I con
tinued its use , and am now well and strong1 , and
menstruate regularly. I cannot say enough for
what your medicine did for me. "
How firs. Pinkham Helped
Fannie Kumpe.
Mus. PINKHAM : I feel it is my duty to
Tmte and tell you of the benefit I have derived from your advice and
the use of Iiydia E. Pinkhain's Vegetable Compound. The pains
in my back and womb have all left me , and my menstrual trouble is
corrected. I am very thankful for the good advice you gave me , and I
shall recommend your medicine to all who suffer from female weakness. "
Miss FANXIE KUMPE , 1022 Chester St. , Little Rock , Ark. ( Dec. 16,1900. )

Beware of the man with a grievance.

Industry is something the lazy man

What 10 Learn.
Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine.
Learn to attend strictly to your own
business a very iuiporant point.
Learn to tell a story. A well told
story is as welcome as a sunbeam in a
sick room.
Learn the art of saying kind and
encouraging things , especially to the
young.
Learn to avoid all ill-natured re
marks , and everything calculated to
create friction.
Learn to k"eep j'our troubles to your
self. The world is too busy to care
for your ills and sorrows.
Learn to stop croaking. If you
cannot see any good in this world ,
keep the bad to yourself.
Learn to hide your aches and pains
under a pleasant smile. ! No one cares
whether you have the earache , head
ache or rheumatism.
Learn to greet your friends with a
smile. They carry too many frowns
hi their own hearts to be bothered
with any of yours. Christian Life.

A Four Cornerea JFiglit.
Jim and Lou Sraizer , of near Paris ,
killed a bald eaule under unusual cir
cumstances a few days a jo. It at
tacked a Mg turkey. "While it and the
turkey were fighting , some crows at
tacked the eagle. Theeajile clung to
the turkey with its talons while it
beat off the crows with its hack and
winqs. The contest was getting in
teresting when one of the Smizers
fired into the fluttering hunch and
killed the eagle. It measured seven
ty-eight inches from tip to tip. Kan

Cliicken onp.
After plucking a foul carefully , clean
the skin with a wet cloth , remove the
pin-feathers and singe off the hairs ;
then wipe the bird with a wet cloth ,
and cut the flesh in small pieces , sep
arating the bones , but not breaking
them so fine as to endanger their re
maining in the soup after straining it.
Che head and feet are to be skinned
and scalded after cutting off the beak
and claws , and the heart , liver and
gizzard properly cleaned and put into
the soup. Allow a quart and a pint
of water to each pound of chicken , si ml
season rather below the taste , be
cause the quantity of soup will be less
ened by boiling. Cover the soup ket
tie , place it at one side of the lire
where it will boil gently for several
hours until the meat falls apart ; UK-
soup will then be ready to strain , re
moving the bones , and finish for the
table by the addition of some delicate
dumplings , such as batter-flakes or
egg-barley dumplings.
Floor Stain.
Floors that are stained and oiled are
easily kept clean. The material costs
very little , and any one can apply it.
For an oak stain , take raw sienna , adil
i little umber to it , and mix half a pirn
af linseed oil and one quart of turpeu
tine. A tablespoonful of Japan dryei
put into the turpentine will make n
iry quickly. A cheap dark brown stain ,
which is better for old floors than : i
lighter color , is made by mixing om-
fourth of a pound of permanganate of
potash in one quart of water. Apply
with an old paint brush , and give the
Boor two coats if one does'not make it
iark enough. After the floor is stained
give it a coat of boiled linseed oil. 11
the oiling is repeated every spring ui
fall , your floor will always look well.
Whole-Wheat Ureatl.
Dissolve a cake of compressed yeast
In a gill of lukewarm water. Pour into
a bowl a pint of milk and stir into tlm
i pint of boiling water , add a teaspoon
ful each of salt and sugar , and when
the mixture is bloodwarm add the dis
solved yeast. Stir in a quart of whole
wheat flour or enough to make a bat
ter. Beat for ten minutes , adding to
ward the last enough whole-wheat
flour to make a dough that can be
kneaded. Turn upon a floured board
and knead for ten minutes and set to
rise with a towel over it. At the end
of three hours knead for five minutes ,
make into loaves , knead each of these
for two -minutes and set to rise for
about an hour before baking in a steady
Dven.
C re of Lamps.
Buy the best oil.
Fill the lamps by daylight.
Lamps should be kept well filled.
Never attempt to light a lamp that is
only partly filled.
Keep the oil can closed and in a cool
olace.
Lamps to be carried should be of
aietal and have handles.
See that any hanging lamps you may
nave are securely hung.
When buying lamps select those in
which the end of the burner is consid
erably elevated above the body of the
'amp. '
Watch your wicks closely , and change
iem before they become too short.
If burning oil gets upon the floor ,
another with woolen blankets or rugs.

Kidney Pills cure all ills of the kidneys

tells of a cure that lasts :
Mr. A < W. Lutx , carriage wood work
er , of 109 17th avenue , Sterling , 111. ,
says : "After procuring Doau's Kidney
Pills in the month of November , 1807 ,
I took a course of the treatment which
cured me of backache and other annoy
ances due to over-excited or weakened
kiduej's. During the three years which
have elapsed , I have had no occasion
to retract one word of my statement
made at that time. I now unhesitat
ingly and emphatically re-indorse the
claims made for Donn's Kidney Pills.

Thousands of Americans for AVest-
crii Canada.
"There Avill be thousands of Ameri
cans coming up here in the spring , ' '
was the remark made by a farmer from
the vicinity of Langdon , North Da
kota , when he arrived in Winnipeg ,
Manitoba , the capital of Western Can
ada , a few days since , lie was the
advance guard of a large body who are
following him , and he has already in
vested in several farming sections for
himself and others and purposes to
take up his permanent abode in this
country. Lie went on to say : "Plun-
dreds are coming from my district
alone. I know this to be a fact , for
many of them are neighbors of mine.
The chief topic of conversation with
the farmers is the coming immigra
tion in the spring. "
' 'The impression general in the part
of Dakota where I live that farmers
can get from 10 to 15 cents more a
bushel for wheat on the American side
of the line than on the Canadian has
not prevented people from turning their
eyes to Canada' as a place to live in.
They know they can get land in this
country which is every bit as fertile
as that in Dakota at about one-quarter
the price. It is safe to say that the
exodus from Dakota into Canada this
year will exceed the expectations of oil
Canadians. "
