Women Who Wear Well.
It Is astonishing how great a change a
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness , the charm , the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which Is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow , a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change , ignorance and
neglect. Few young womou appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood , not understanding
that this secret drain Is robbing the cheek
of Its freshness and the form of it *
fairness.

The Canadian
West is he
The testimony of tens of thousands during the
past year is that the Canadian West is the best
West. Year by year the agricultural returns
have increased in volume and in value , and still
the Canadian Government offers 160 acres free to
every bona fide settler.
Some of the Advantages
The phenomenal increase in railway mileage
main lines and branches has put almost every
portion of the country within easy reach of
churches , schools , markets , cheap fuel and every
modern convenience.

Hide and Seclc with a 3Ionnlnln.
For the past two years a curious sort
of a game has been played up in that
little-known region of Chinese Turkes
tan , the great mountain ranges of Tisin
Shan. The chief participants of this
game , which has not partaken of thu
nature of play , were two , Dr. Merzi
bacher , an alpinist , and KhantengrI ,
the highest peak of the country.
This part of the world has been en
veloped In obscurity , and until Dr.
Merzbacher's survey no good- maps ex
isted. The mountains are wild and
picturesque , covering ground four or
five times as great as the Alps.
Many of the peaks measure over
twenty thousand feet in height. Khan
tengri , the monarch , overtops all others
by at least four thousand feet. The re
gion is regarded as very hard of access ,
and old Chinese travelers have left ac
counts of its difficulties and dangers.
Khan-tengri had never been definite
ly located , and Dr. Merzbacher under
stood the task. Per nearly two year ?
his search lasted before he could pi a
the elusive mountain down to topographical
graphical accuracy. It has been a ver
itable game of hide-and-seek , and the
interesting and curious part of it i >
that often and again the mountain has
been most difficult to trace , and the
seeker realized that until he was actu
ally at the mountain's base he could
not show its relations to the rest of tbe
range. After long months of hanl
travel and many disappointments , the
mountain has been trapped and the
riddle solved.

Why this enormous patronage ?
The answer is simple : Cascarets are pure , clean , sweet ,
mild , fragrant , harmless but effective little tablets for the treat
ment and cure of Constipation and all Bowel Troubles. They
are put up in neat little enamel boxes , easy to buy , easy to
carry ( in vest-pocket or purse ) , easy to take-and easy of action ,
always reliable , always the same , they "work while you sleep"
and wake you up feeling fine invthe morning.
They not only regulate tr.e movement and stimulate the muscular walls ol
the bowels , but they keep the ENTIRE CANAL CLEAN and antiseptic , forcing
out and destroying all disease germs that breed in the accumulated filth unless
promptly and regularly discharged. Therefore , they are a great preventive of
disease , and may be taken continuously as a precautionary measure.
The new Pure Drugs Act , adopted by Congress on June 30 , 1906 , and in
effect January 1 , 1907 , is a GOOD LAV/ and means better and PURER

the hoginnin-r of Christianity. It was
called the Lords day in all the cliureli
es , but gradually acquired the name of
Sun-day from the Romans , who called
the first day of the week dies solis. or
day sacred to the sun. The first official
recognition of Sunday as a holy day is
in an edict of the Roman Emperor Constantine
stantino in 321 ordering that all work
should cease in the cities "on the vener

farm work to be attended to. St. Louis

HANQE OF LIFE
Sensible Advice to Women from firs. Henry
firs. Fred Certia and firs. Pinkham.
MRS HENRY LEE MRS. FRED CERTIA
Owing- modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand approaches
preaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing a train of very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms.
This is the raosb critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in a deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ ,
the tendency is at this period
likely to become active and with a
host of nervous irritations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin tboir destructive Xvork.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation , hot flashes , headaches ,
backaches , melancholia , dread of im
pending evil , palpitation of the lieart ,
irregularities , constipation and dizzi
ness are promptly heeded by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this great
change may be expected.

The Value and Importance of Ethical Remedies.
Remedies which physicians sanction for family use , as they act most beneficially and
are gentle yet prompt in effect , and called ethical , because they are of
Known Excellence and Quality and o Known Component Parts.
To gain the full confidence of the Well-informed of the world and the approval of
the most eminent physicians , it is essential that the component parts be known to and
approved by them , and , therefore , the California Fig Syrup Company has published for many
years past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof. The per
fect purity and uniformity of product which they demand in a laxative remedy of an ethical
character are assured by the California Fig Syrup Company's original method of manufacture ,
known tathe Company only.
There are 'other ethical remedies approved by physicians , but the product of
the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family laxatives
that it cleanses , sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts , without
disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without having to
increase the quantity from time to time.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of
Syrup of Figs , and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives , and as its pure laxative principles , obtained from Senna , are well
known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural fl
laxatives , we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna , as more fully descriptive of the remedy , but doubtlessly it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs ; and to get its beneficial effects ,
always note , when purchasing , the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the front of every package , whether you simply call for Syrup
of Figs , or by the full name , Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna , as Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Company , and the same heretofore known by the name , Syrup of Figs , which
has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists
throughout the United States in original packages of one size only , the regular price
of which is fifty-cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company , filed with * the
Secretary of Agriculture , at Washington , D. C. , the remedy is not adulterated or misbranded -
branded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act June seth , 1906.
