Healtfy of American Women A Subject Much Discussed at Women's Clubs- Ttie Future of a Country Depends on the Health of Its Women. \ - Airs TC. Wilfadsen MistMattie Henry At the New York State Assembly of Mothers , a prominent New York 'doctor told the 500 women present thathealthy American women were so rare as to be almost extinct. This seems to "be a sweepingstate ment of the condition of American women. Yet how many do you know who are perfectly well and do not have some trouble arisingfrom a derange ment of the female organism which manifests itself in headaches , back aches , nervousness , that bearing-down feeling , painful or irregular menstrua tion , leueorrhooa , displacement of the uterus , ovarian trouble , indigestion or sleeplessness ? There is a tried and true remedy for all these ailments. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound has restored more American women to health than all other reme dies in the world. It regulates , strengthens and cures diseases of the female organism as nothing else can. For thirty years it lias been curing the worst forms of female com plaints. Such' testimonj' as the following should be convincing. Mrs. T. C. Willadscn , of Manning , la. , writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkhum : " 1 can truly suy thit you havesaved my life and I eannol express my gratitude to you in words. For two years 1 spent lots of money in doctoringithour. any benefit for men strual irregularities and t had given up all hopes of ever being well again , but I was persuaded to try Lydia E.

" Miss Mattie TTenry , Vice-Presidentof Danville Art Club , 429 Green St. , Dan ville , Va. , writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham : "Many years'suffer- ingwith femalo weakness , inflammation and a broken down system made me moi-e anx ious to dvjthan to Hve.butLydiaE. Pinkham's Vegetable Co'mponnd has restored my health and I am so grateful for it that I want every suffering woman to know what LydiaE.Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound will do for her. " When women are troubled with irregular , suppressed or painful men struation , weakness , leucorrhoea , dis placement or ulceration of the womb , that bearing-down feeling , inflamma tion of.the ovaries , backache , bloating , ( or flatulency ) , general debility , indi gestion , and nervous prostration , pr are beset with such symptoms as dizziness , faintness , lassitude , excitability , irri tability , nervousness , sleeplessness , " " and "want-to- melancholy , "all-gone" be-left-aloiie" feelings , blues , and hope lessness , they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. No other medicine in the world has received such unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine , for yoii need the best. A light heart , a cheerful countenance , | and all the charms of grace and beauty are dependent upon proper action of the bodily organs. - You cannot look well unless you feel well.

How years ago we two together Saw naught but love illumine life In sunuy days or winter weather ? Do you remember how we two Would stare in % > each other's eyes , Till all the earth grew heavenly blue , And speech was lost in happy sighs ? Do you another thing recall , That used to happen often then ; How , simply passing in the hall , We'd stop to smile and kiss again ? Do you remember how I sat And , reading , held your hand in mine , Caressing it with gentle pat One pat for every blessed line ? Do you recall while at the play Through hours of agony we tarried ? The lovers' griefs brought us dismay ; Oh , we rejoiced when they were mar ried. Ah , me , 'twas years and years ago When all this happened that I sing , And many a time the winter snow Has slipped from olive slopes of spring. And now oh , nonsense ! let us tell ; A fig for laugh of maids or men ! You'll hide your blushes ? I'll not. Well We're ten times worse than we were then. Century.

I can't imagine what 1 was at. I ought to have done better. A little more gold would improve mat ters. " "I'd break it , if I were you. and have done Avith it. " "I hardly like to do that. " The two speakers went out again. * * # 4 4 * The moment they had departed a girl came out from a curtained recess. n 11 v "WHY DID YOU GIVE TJP JACK ? " She was a charming little ladyvith fair hair and a pair of laughing blue eyes. But now they were far from laughing. She stamped her dainty foot and tossed her pretty head with an air of lofty disdain. "The idea ! So he's like all the rest is he after gold. He ought to have done better. Well , he shall have a chance. If he doesn't like to break it , I do. " After thus giving vent to her feel ings she rushed frantically down the stairs and rejoined her father. * * * * * * * The next morning Tack Rowlands had a shock. Instead of the usual "billet doux" from Edith came a rather bulky parcel. Quickly opening it , he found all the little love tokens he had sent her. There was the volume of Moore's poems she had treasured so much , a diamond ring , and a good- sized bundle of love letters. On a gilt-edged correspondence card he read these words : "I don't wish to see you again. "EDITH GRETTON. " Tenderly taking up tlie parcel , he locked it away in his desk. "WJiat was the meaning of it all ? " he asked himself repeatedly. * * * 4t * * * The next morning Edith and her father were on their way for a long planned vacation in Europe. In a few words she told him she had "broken" with Jack , but he could learn nothing further. She was terribly upset and unhappy. "O , how much she loved him ! How unworthy he was of any girl's love ! " At first the beautiful Swiss moun tains and the lovely scenery around Berne helped to divert her thoughts , but at best the time dragged wearily. Her father saw all this , and looked eagerly forward to the time Avhen they should go home. He hoped the little rift was but a lover's quarrel. But how was Jack faring all this while ? He was going from bad to worse. From the day he received Edith's parcel there was a marked falling off in the quantity and quality of his stories. The editors called his attention to it. All the ladies were portrayed as ter rible vixens , while heroism and trust ing , faithful love were the sole prop erty of the men. In fact , real interest In his vork had gone. He would shut himself up for weeks and brook no interference not even from his old chum , Ted. Women were coquettes , heartless. They sought a man's affection simply to toy with. He hated the sight of them. And yet , did he ? Every evening he drew from Its hiding place a little bundle ol love letters. Over and over again he read them ; and from his pocket he drew a tinj * photograph and kissed it. All ! how he treasured that precious picture ! The heart hovers round these sacred relics of the past. They may be mere trifles , but , after all , is not tho world made up of trifles ? Again and again he racked his brain in search of some reason for Edith's strange conduct. Why had she cast him aside with no word of explana tion ? Suddenly an inspiration seized him. He would write a book and reveal woman "in her true colors. " lie would paint her loading on her lover to the highest realms of joy and happiness just for the pleasure of dashing him down again. The book would be the sensation of the year. lie snatched up his pen while the idea was hot. He was in the middle of the first chapter when Ted bounced in. .lack had forgotten to "sport his oak. " "Hurrah , Jack , " he shouted , "I've got two months' vacation ; am off to Europe Saturday. " Then noticing tho pale , excited face of his friend , ho said : "Let me prescribe for you , Jack Put all those beastly papers out of sight , or. if you will , pack them up in your bag and come with me. It will make a new man of you. " "Thanks , old man no. I've just begun my life work my masterpiece. This book will take the world by storm. ' "It can bo written as well , nay , bet ter , under the shadow of the Alps thai : in tin ; stuffy rooms. " Tho novelist thought of Berne. He would be nearer Edith. But , no ho dared not go. It would only be fan ning the flame he was trying to kill. Tod was iu Switzerland. If only Jack wore there , too ! Why shouldn't he look up .Miss Grotton ? Why had she thrown over .lack in that mysteri ous way ? Who knows ? Perhaps he might bo a peacemaker. He called on Edith and hor father. The old gen tleman tried to sound him on the "split , " but Ted know nothing. Toil and Edith were sitting out one evening watching tho sunset. It was a glorious scone. By coincidence their thought wandered back to the Gretton home and a certain evening. Ted would have liked to have won this girl for himself. She looked so handsome so winsome as she sat there though perhaps a trifle sad. Ho was sorely tempted. She had of her own accord given up Jack. Then he thought of the lonely man who loved her still , and he thrust aside the mad wish. "Why did you give up Jack ? " he suddenly blurted out. He felt he must say something to break the spell or his good intentions would melt like the snow they saw before them. "Can you ask ? " she replied coldly. "You already know. " "I I know ! " and a wild wish was father to the thought. It was one of those evenings that invite confidences. The sun was go ing down and leaving just a shimmer ing twilight. "Yes , " she said sadly ; "you were really the means of bringing before me the facts that made me wish to see Mr. Rowlands no more. " He drew his chair closer to her. "Do , please , tell me all about it , " he said. His heart beat wildly. Could it be possible she had broken with Jack for his sake ? Then she described word for word what she had overheard. Vividly it all came back to him. He was tempted for a moment , but for a moment only. "My dear Miss Gretton , " he said , "how glad I am I came on to Berne. We were discussing not you , but a snapshot photo Jack had stolen of you with his pocket camera. It's a terrible thing. I don't think you would recognize yourself. He accidentally broke the negative soon after , and his only print is a poor little pyro-stained tiling. lie " "What ! " Edith jumped up , her face all aglow. "I never knew he took pic tures ! " "That was his 'first , ' and , what's more , " said Ted , "he carries that wretched little photograph in a pocket near his heart. " * * * * * * * Two weeks later Edith came home. In the Gazette she read the announce ment that the celebrated novelist , Mr. Rowlands , was engaged on a new book. "It is calculated to take the world by storm , " the paragraph went on , "and entirely upsets all the best the ories about women. " She put down the paper in dismay. She realized at what a price the in spiration had been acquired. * * * * # * "Give me a little photograph you have in your pocket , " she demanded , as the surprised Jack rose from his desk to meet her. She tore it into shreds. "Let me be next your heart instead , dear , " she whispered. . He did. * * * * * * * The critics are still waiting for the great novel which was calculated to upset all our best theories about wom en. Chicago Tribune.
