Treating Wrong Disease.
Many times women call on their family
physicians , suffering , as they imagine ,
one from dyspepsia , another from heart
disease , another from liver or kidney
disease , another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration , another with pain here and
there , and in thii ! way they all present
alike to thwnsflvcs and their casS'-going
and indifferent , or over-busy doctor , sep
arate and distinct diseases , for which ho ,
assuming thorn to be such , prescribes his
pills und potions. In reality , they are all
only xymptmns caused by some uterine
disease. The physician , ignorant of the
cause of suffering , encourages this prac
tice until large bills are made. The suf
fering patient gets no better , but probably
worse , by reason of the delay , wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like Dr. Picrce's Fa
vorite Prescription , directed to the cause
would have entirely removed the disease ,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms , and instituting comfort in
stead of prolonged misery. It has been
well said , that "a disease kno\vn is half
* cured. "
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is a
scientific medicine , carefully devised by
an experienced and skillful physician ,
and adapted to woman's delicate system.
It is made of native medicinal roots and
is perfectly harmless in its effects in any
condition of the system.
As a powerful invigorating tonic "Fa
vorite Prescription " imparts strength to
the whole system and to the organs dis
tinctly feminine in particular. For over
worked , "worn-out , " "run-down , " debili
tated teachers , milliners , dressmakers ,
seamstresses , "shop girls , " house-keepers ,
nursincmothers , and feeble women gen
erally , J3r. Picrce's Favorite Prescription
is the greatest earthly boon , being un
equaled as an appetizing cordial and re
! storative tonic.
As a soothing and strengthening nerv
ine "Favorite Prescription " is unequaled
and is invaluable in allaying and sub
duing nervous excitability , irritability ,
nervous exhaustion , nervous prostration ,
neuralgia , hysteria , spasms , chorea , St.
Vitus's dance , and other distressing , nerv
ous symptoms-commonly attendant upon
functional and organic disease of the
uterus. It induces refreshing sleep and
relieves mental anxiety and despondency.

Remember Anniversaries.
The happiest households are those
that do not let die out the sentiment
connected with various anniversaries.
Although gift-giving or recognition of
such events in a suitable way may be
out of the question owing to the
straitened circumstances of those
"within the gates , " there can yet be
a little air of festivity when moth
er's or father's birthday comes around ,
or some wedding anniversary is to be
celebrated. An extra dish , a little
bunch of flowers , or some special mu
sic prepared for the occasion , will
show the kindly spirit and the loving
remembrance that count far more
than the money value of any gift. As
the children grow up , if these festi
vals are encouraged , they will have
much to look forward to and much
more to remember in the years to
come when they go out to do battle
with the world and find that senti
ment is crushed under foot and affec
tion is regarded only as a side issue.

A CURE FOR DEBILITY
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills A Reliable
Remedy for the Weak , Ailing
and Bloodless.
"When the body is weak and the blood
thin it is sometimes difficult to find the
cause unless a wasting illness has pre
ceded , or the sufferer happens to be a
girl on the verge of womanhood.
Obscure influences , something un-
healthf ul in one's surroundings or work ,
may lead to a slow impoverishment of
, the blood and an eufeeblement of the
iwhole body. When a serious stage has
iheen reached there seems to be nothing
that will account for it.
Mr. O. E. Legg , of Tiptou , W. Ya. ,
has found a successful method of treat-
.ing weakness and bloodlessuess. He
'says :
1 " I used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
weakness caused by a lingering malarial
-fever that began in the spring of 1896.
'The ' worst effects of this were indiges
tion and a bad state of my blood. I was
.anannic . , as the doctors sav. People
'
generally would say that I d'idn't have
blood enough , or that I didn't have the
.right . kind of blood ; mine was too thin.
'My kidneys and liver were out of order.
I was badly annoyed by sour risings
.from my stomach. There was a good
.deal ofpaiu , too , in my back and under
u > y right shoulder blade. "
" How long did these troubles last ? "
"For over two years. For four
months of that time I was uuder the
care of a physician , but his medicine did
ine no good. Meanwhile I learned of
the cures that had been wrought by Dr.
Williams'Pink Pills. "
"You owe your cure to these pills ? "
" I certainly do , and I also know that
they are helping others to whom I have
recommended them. They have real
merifc and I know of nothing that would
take their place. "

jOYS in highway robbery , girls in wine rooms
and dance halls. These are the spectacles
that are sending sword thrusts of pain and
grief into parental hearts all over the laud
this winter , and every winter and every
season of every year in this and every land ,
and perhaps especially in this land , where
parental authority is apt to relax and filial reverence
vo decline and youthful blood run riot in the quest for
excitement , adventure knd fun. Every city is agitated
over Its wild boys and wild girls. What is to be said ,
what is to be done ?
Sociology has run to seed in the propensity to attrib
ute every individual action to the tendency of society.
Not the drunkard is censurable , but only the saloon ;
not the man who gambles away his week's wages , but
only the cards and the green table ; not the girl who
yields to some insistent ruflian , but the four walls and
the furniture that were the scene of her ruin ; not the
boy that joins a bevy of evil companions , but the police
man on his block , or the yellow journal , or the divorce
laws , or the straight front corset , or woman's clubs.
No boy is ever caught in the meshes of the law under
the Impression that he was behaving thimself. No girl
is guiltless and innocent of heart who goes into a private
room and drinks liqour with a strange man. That sound
principles are not more fully understood and practiced
by our youth is the fault of the father and mother ,
engrossed in business or pleasure to the exclusion of
parental duties , such as the old Jewish , German and
Puritan .fathers were wont to discharge witli such fidel
ity and good results.
Children do not form character and mold a destiny
by chance. They must be trained ; and there'is no more
crying need of the hour than the sense of parental re
sponsibility. Men who look after their business with
sedulous exactness , and-women who have studied Amer
ican leads and 'antique rugs and Italian marbles and
Parisian modes with infinite patience and care , dis
charge the solemn obligations of fatherhood and mother
hood in a careless and haphazard sort of way. Out of
such betrayal of the most sacred of trusts comes the
awful ruin of young lives. There are girls so trained
that not all the wine rooms In the world could corrupt
their virtue , and boys to whom a saloon and gambling
house on every corner would be no temptation. Indian

SCIENTIFIC MATRIMONY.
way in which many marriages take
place is an object of criticism and a cause
of uneasiness to some scientists. They fear
It is deteriorating the race. Men are care
ful , they point out , to mate their horses and
cattle so as to keep their blood pure and de
velop In the highest degree possible the
special qualities which make them valuable. But hu
man beings are allowed to mate as they please regard
less of their physical , mental , or moral deficiencies or of
their adaptability to each other. For the good of pos
terity as well as for the happiness of the candidates for
matrimony there ought , it has been gravely argued , to
be some authority to forbid the bans in case it should
appear , for scientific reasons , that they ought not to be
allowed. Marriages , it used to be said , are made in
heaven. They ought , on this theory , to be made in the
laboratory.
American Medicine does not like the theory. It ques
tions , in a recent article , if any man ever will be wise
enough to say who ought and who ftught not to marry.
It points out that many parents who have good consti
tutions and seem ideally adapted to each other have
children that "lack resistance to the invasion of path-

"What's the matter with you , wom

the indignant retort of the pained Pa.
"What's aching you ? Don't I give you

jou pay the bills , you nice old
ogenic organisms" in other words , that are weak and
puny while many parents who have poor constitu
tions , or do not seem well adapted to each other , have
fine children. It might have added that many couples
who , when they were married , were pronounced perfect
ly mated have ended in the divorce court , while many
who were regarded MS unequally yoked together live BO
happily as to be the envy of their neighbors and friends.
American Medicine thinks what is needed is not
more restrictions on marriage , but less. The interest of
the race , It believes , is that young people shall be let
marry pretty much as they choose. Perhaps the scheme
of mating men and women "scientifically" Is not so sci
entific as it seems. Its advocates forget that domesti
cated animals are mated , not with a view to their good
but with a. view to the pleasure or profit of those who
own them. In a state of nature animals pair ns instinct
prompts them. The result is to equip wild animals with
bodies by which they are enabled much better than do
mesticated ones to take care of themselves wherever
they happen to be. When the good of the animal itself
or of its own species is to be subseuvcd nature knows
better than man how to guide its conduct , so it may be.
after all , that the really scientific marriage is that in
which science might be supposed to have the least part
the marriage , that is , which is prompted by nature , the
marriage solely for love.
If this be the case , marriage is on a more scientific
basis in the United States than in any other country.
The young folks here usually arrange everything. The
results , on the whole , are satisfactory. Many terminate
their'romances In the divorce courts. But this does not
show there is more martial Infelicity here than else
where. In fact , there is less. All it shows is that those
who cannot live happily together , or think they cannot ,
have more opportunity here than elsewhere to free them
selves from bonds that gall them.
THE USE OF SLANG.
! ARDLY a day passes without some bomb
shell being thrown into the fortress of old
cstablshed systems of education. The latest
educator to play Nihilist Is Professor G.
Stanley Hall , president of Clark University ,
who has been explaining to a summer class
of teachers that they should not correct their
pupils in the use of slang , because slang Is beneficial. He
said that the boy or girl between the ages of 14 and 19
needed , to acquire fluency , and that slang would help along
this result. He therefore recommended the teacher who
heard a stiident .state that Jie had. a. "hunch" or a
"straight tip" not to make any correction , because the
student had found the right word.
The teachers gasped , and It Is not to be wondered dt
that they did. Every one who has ever taught a school , or
been to one , knows that the efforts of most teachers are
of necessity directed toward the use of correct English in
the recitation room , by themselves and their pupils. If
slang is. to be substituted for our mother tongue , where ,
if you please , is the child to leara to speak English ?
It is to be doubted whether the conclusion of Professor
Hall is correct , and whether the high school student needs
to acquire fluency. As a general thing , boys and girls of
that age can talk fast enough about anything In which
they are interested , and it is not likely that their recita
tions will be any more fluent if they are allowed to
make them in slang. The trouble generally is that school
does not interest them , and their own affairs do.
Moreover , it is something of an imposition to expect
these teachers to learn slang in addition to all the other
things they nre expected to know. Slang is a language ,
and changes yearly , as it ought to , for but little of it is
worth preserving. Cannot the teacher be more profitably
occupied than in studying the patois of the streets ?

With this Pa Jones speedily basiled

Resolutions adopted Dy the commit
tee of the Congress on Uniform Divorce
Law last month recommended that no
attempt be made to secure a Federal
divorce law by amendment of the Con
stitution , but that each State adopt
legislation restricting to its own citi
zens the remedies afforded by its stat
utes. It is further recommended that
a court , in a case between persons mar
ried outside the State , shall recognize
only those causes for divorce which are
recognized in the place where the par
ties were married. To prevent collu
sive divorces , it is recommended that
hearings and trials should always be
before the court , and never before dele
gated representatives of the court. The
Congress docs not recommend ar , pres
ent attempt at uniform legislation as
to causes for divorce , but names ten
causes which seem to be in accordance
with American legislation : former
marriages , bigamj- , coercion , fraud , in
sanity unknown to the other party , in
fidelity , conviction of felony , intoler

There will be no ship subsidy legis
lation by the House at this session. The
Committee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries , to which was referred the
measure passed by the Senate , has di
vided ten to eight against the pro
posed legislation. Five of the twelve
Republican members of the committee
are opposed to the bill and all of the
six Democratic members , with the ex
ception of one , are with them. The
principal ground for opposition is un
certainty as to whether its provisions
will call for the appropriation of $20-
000,000 a year or $100,000,000. .She
western Republicans on the committee
who are lined up against the bill fear
that its inducements will be so great
as to take from the coastwise and lake
trade a number of vessels to enter the
foreign trade for the subsidies offered.
They insist that any measure which
will have such an effect should be op
posed for the reason that all ships
engaged in domestic and coastwise traf
fic should be encouraged to maintain
competition with the railroads.
What happens when barren lands arc
irrigated is disclosed in a recent state
ment by Mr. C. J. Blanchard , an en
gineer of the reclamation service. A
year ago last spring he camped on the
banks of the Snake River in Southern
Idaho in a sage brush tract of a lum-
dred thousand acres. His camp con
tained the only human beings within
thirty miles. Last October , after the
dam in the river for the irrigation res
ervoir was well along , riding in a pas
senger car on a new railroad over the
same route that he had traveled six
teen months before , he passed three
towns , and was in sight of a population
of nearly four thousand. Yet not a
drop of water had been delivered for
irrigation. The people were on the
ground ready to cultivate the land as
soon as the water was ready. This j
scorns to be doing better than making j
a second blade of grass grow up to keep !
company with a single lonesome blade ,
for it makes four thousand persons live
where only sage brush grew before. {

Is reported that in all the benevolent

persons found refuge and relief during
1904 , at the close of which 284,372 re
mained. This may be taken as about
the average number of inmates at any
one time. The males outnumber the
females , largely because of the large
number of soldiers' homes. The cost
( for 1903) ) amounted to $55,577,633 , of
which about 50 per cent was for hos
pital maintenance. Orphanages and per
manent homes took about $10,000,000
(
each , and asylums for the deaf , dumb
and blind about $3,500,000. Paying inmates - j
mates contributed toward the total
$14,845,508 , and $6,089,226 was drawn
