" It seems as though my back would break." Women utter these words over and over again, but continue to drag along and suffer with aches in the small of the back, pain low down in the side, "bearing-down" pains, ner vousness and no ambition for any task. Miss Maude Morris j A Tangled Family By CLAJtE JAYlfES They do not realize that the back is the mainspring of woman's organism, and quickly indicates by aching a dis eased condition of the female organs or kidneys, and that the aches and pains will continue until the cause is removed. Ly dia E. Puikham's Vegetable Com pound has been for many years the one and only effective remedy in such cases. It speedily cures female and kidney disorders and restores the fe male organs to a healthy condition. " I have suffered with female troubles for over two years, suffering intense join each month, my iiack ached until it seemed as though it would break, and I felt so weak ah over that I did not find strength to attend to my work but bad to stay in bud a largo jvirt of 'the first two or tlireo days every month. I would have sleepless nights; bad dreams and s-vcim headaches. All this undermined my health.

Not much is heard of Ohio as a corn state, but only seven out of the other 44 beat it in the size of the crop. The average population of the coun ties of Ohio is about 50.000, but of the SS only 20 or 21 exceed that limit. There are more men fit for mili tary duty in Ohio than fought at Muk den, in the Japanese and Russian armies combined. .If the people of Ohio stood side by t-ide. with outstretched arms, touching finger tips, the line would reach from Boston to Sau Francisco, with a large margin left. The first settlements in Ohio were made in the southeastern part of the state, but now that section is less pop ulous than almost any other. It con tains no great city. Xo pieciotis metals have ever been mined in Ohio, but the value of the coal and it on dug out of the Ohio hills ecry year exceeds that of the gold of Colorado or California. Only one state Illinois which is younger than Ohio is more populous. Illinois is much larger in area. No Hate later in date of settlement has more inhabitants in proportion to its size BY THE GENTLE CYNIC. Oratory is merely talk with a frock coat en. It's a poor fool that can't be worked txjth ways.

OUTDOOR LIFE Will Not Offset the 111 Effects of Coffee When One Cannot Digest It. A farmer says: "It was not from liquor or tobacco that for ten years or more I suffered from dyspepsia and stomach trouble, they were caused by the use of coffee until I got so bad I had to ghe up coffee entirely and almost give up eat ing. There were times when I could eat only 'boiled milk and bread and -when I went o the field to work I had to take some bread and butter along to give me strength. "I doctored with doctors and took almost everything I could get for my stomach in the way of medicine, but if I got any better it only lasted a lit tle while until I was almost a walking skeleton. "One day I read an ad for Postum and told my wife I would try it. and as to the following facts I will make affidavit before any judge: "I quit coffee entirely and used Postum in its place. I have regained my health entirely and can eat any thing that is cooked to eat. I have increased in weight until now I weigh more than I ever did; I have not taken any medicine for my stomach since I began using Postum. Why, 1 believe Postum will almost digest an iron wedge. "My family would stick to coffee at first, but they saw the effects it had on me, and when they were feeling bad they began to use Postum. one at a time, until now we all use Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Ten days' trial of Postum in place of coffee proves the truth, an easy and pleasant way. There's a reason." Look in pkgs. for a copy of the fa mous little hook, "The Road to Well -villa." The remarriage of Mrs. Vanstone, after a long widowhood, was the popu lar gossip of the season, yet no one could solve the problem and no one seemed entirely satisfied except the new husband. The Vanstone relations were vexed, the servants sulked, and the widow's son and daughter, Charley and Millie, just of age, imagined their, prospects blighted. "Oh, George, what shall I do?" said Mrs. Beverley which was the lady's new naxne-ready to cry. "Don't mind 'cm. my dear!" said her husband, with a great, rolling laugh. 'They're only children: they'll grow wiser as they grow older." But the squire's determined good hu mor aggravated his stepchildren more than any amount of positive opposition would have done, and they made no effort to conceal their feelings. "I never, never can call that man father." said Millie. "My dear, he doesn't want you to." said Mrs. Beverley. "I can't endure the sight of him!" pouted Millie. "And Charley says ex actly the same thing." "Charley is a disobedient, ungrate ful son," sobbed Mrs. Beverley. But here Mr. Beverley himself came to the rescue. "Young people." said he, "I don't ob ject to you making yourselves as mis erable as you like, but you mustn't tor ment your mother. I'll have none of this." Millie lost no time in carrying this revolutionary speech straight to her brother. "Very well," said Charley, coolly; "we'll accept the challenge." "111 not submit to his tyranny," said Millie. "I've got a plan." "So have I," said Charles; "lots of 'em; only they don't seem to work when I try to put them into practice." "I've been writing to Louise Vane," said Millie. "It seems to me as if I had lizard the name before, now that you men tion it," said Charley, rumpling up his brown, curly hair. "But why should you write to her? and what has she to do with our affairs?" "She sympathizes so thoroughly with me," said Millie. "She considers second marriages as sinful, as I do. And she has asked me to come to her and stay as long as I please. There is a nice hotel in the village. Charley; and her father is very hospitable. And there is a fine supply of shooting. Louise writes, and plenty of agrceablo society." "Not a bad idea," said Charley, re flectively. Louise Vane received her former schoolmate with effusion. Her father, a stately, middle-aged gentleman, spoke a few kindly words of welcome. "Oh, dear!" said Millie, when she was alone with her friend. "I do hope we shall not disturb Mr. Vane." "Nothing disturbs papa," said Lou ise. "He will never think of noticing such chicks as we are. Every old maid and widow in the village has tried to marry him ever since poor mamma died." "How dare they?" said indignant Millie. "I think the legislature ought to pass a law against second marriages. They are wicked, sinful; an outrage on civilization!" "Of course they are." said Louise. "But don't worry, darling. Remember that you are with me now." Three months of happiness at Vane lodge followed. Millie and Louise read their favorite authors together, and worked hideous screens and im possible portieres in crewels. But one day Mr. Vane called his daughter into his study, with a serioin face, and when she came out she was drowned in tears, and fled straightva to the haven of her dearest frieud'j room. "Darling!" cried Millie, "what is the matter? Tell me, I beseech you." "The worst that could possibly hap pen," cried Louise, tragically. "Papa is going to marry again." Millie crimsoned to the very roots of her hair. "He told me so himself," said Lou ise. "I never stopped to ask him who it was that was to desecrate our happy happy home. I just clasped my hands and cried: 'Papa!' and ran away, sobbing as if my heart would break. Oh. and I had so hoped that, when I was married, we could stay on here just the same; but. with a stepmother, of course, nothing will ever be the same!" "You married. Louise?" cried Millie. "Didn't he tell you? But it only happened this morning. Charley has asked me to be his wife." "But," faltered Millie, "if your step mother loed you very much indeed " "Fiddlesticks!" said Louise; "as if a stepmother could love one! Oh, I hate her already! And you. too, my poor wounded gazelle, will be driven from your refuge. If 1 could only "offer you a home " "Its so good of you. darling!" whis pered Millie. "But I don't really think that it will be necessary, be cause, because " "You're not engaged to be married, too?" almost shrieked Louise, struck consciousness in her THE SCIENCE OF LIVING. Dr. George F. Butler Tells How to Eat and How to As- K similate. Dr. George F. Butler, medical super intendent of the Alma Springs Sani tarium, Alma, Mich., in the October Qumber of "How to Live," gives some interesting as well as sensible rules for acquiring and keeping health. He says: "Without we eat and drink, we die! The provocative to do both rests with the appetite, which, in process of time, becomes a very uncertain guide; for the palate will often induce a desire and relish for that which is most mischievous and indigestiblo The old saying of 'eat what you like is now shunned by everybody of 20 years' exicrience. Still, without appe tite, it is a very difficult affair to sub sist for the pleasure depends chiefly upon the relish. The relish may be come, as has been stated, a vitiated one, but it is quite possible to make the stomach, by a little forbearance and practice, as enamored of what is wholesome and nutritious, as. of that which is hurtful and not concoctible." Again he says: "The delicate should feed carefully, not abundantly; it is not quantity which nourishes, but only that which assimilates." "Be carefulof our digestion" is the keynote of the doctor's argument. He says: "Health in man, as in other animals, depends upon the proper per formance of all functions. These functions may 'be shortly said to be three: (1) tissue change; (2) re moval of waste; (3) supply of new material. For the activity of man, like the heat of the fire by which he cooks his food, is maintained by combustion; and just as the fire may be prevented from burning brightly by improper disposition of the fuel, or imperfect supply of air, and as it will certainly go out if fresh fuel Is not supplied, and may be choked by its own ashes, so man's activity may be lessened by imperfect tissue change and may be put aii end to by an in sufficient supply of new material and imperfect removal of waste products. "Wo should see to it that free elim ination is maintained, for the ashes must be kept out of the system in or der to have good health. The skin. kidneys and bowels must do their climinative work properly. If the bowels occasionally become torpid, try to regulate them with exercise and proper food, such as fruits, green vegetables, salads, cereals, corn, whole wheat or graham bread, fish, poultry, light soups, etc. Plenty of water is also valuable, ar.d a glass full of cold or hot water the first thing upon ris ing in the morning will aid much in overcoming constipation. Ttegulai habit, cold baths, and massage are very efficacious. In case the consti pation does not yield to these hygi enic measures, some simple, harmless laxative may be required, such as Cali fornia Syrup of Figs a non-irritating preparation of senna in fig syrup Laxative mineral waters are bene ficial in some cases, hut not to be em ployed continually. "Above all be an optimist, keep the heart young. Cultivate kindness cheerfulness and love, and do not for get that we shall pass through this world but once.' Any good thing therefore; that we do, or any kind ness that we show to any human be ing, let us do it now. Let us not defei it or neglect it. for we shall not pass this way again." MAKING GOOD PASTRY. ALL TRUE. Too many hills are apt to make a man feel bilious. The fool are not all dead. In fact, a lot of ih em haven't been born. Joy cometh in the morning unless you've been making a night of it It's a mistake to marry too young, but it's a mistake that isn't repeated. A woman is never quite happy with a man who refuses to argue with her. Many an unsuccessful man would rather preserve his dignity than hustle. It is better to have too little con fidence in yourself than too much in others. We are told that love levels- all things, but often it seems like an up hill fight. To indulge in the things we can't afford is the average man's idea of pleasure. -Life is like a game of cards, In which a good deal depends upon a good deal. The fellow who is always under a cloud reminds me of nothing so much as a borrowed umbrella. If People Will Eat Pastry. Delicacy Must Be-Very Carefully Prepared- Some Directions. ij r Good pastry isjiot difficult to make if a few simple-rules be followed. Of cource, we all know that pies are net, strictly speaking, as healthful for dessert as fruits or simple puddings. Still when made properly with the best of materials, any well-regulated stomach ought to be able to digest them, if not eaten mare, than once a day. Men, particularly, are very fond ol pie, and heartily indorse the senti ment of the late Eugene Field which he expressed in the following lines: .Your flavored creams and ices. And your dainty angel-food, Are mighty fine devices t To regale the dainty dude; Your terrapin and oysters. With wine to wash 'em down. Are just the thing for roysterers When painting of the town; No flippant sugared notion Shall my appetite appease, Or bate my soul's devotion To apple-pic and cheese! Pastry is either plain paste, or puff paste, according to the amount of but ter worked into it, says Belle Estes in the Prairie Farmer. The plain paste is used for pies and also for the under crust of pies, and the puff paste for the upper crusts of pies, foi patties, tarts and cheese straw's. Puff Paste. Wash one cup of but ter; work one tablespoonful into two cups of flour. Moisten to a stiff dough with cold water. Knead on a floured board. Cover and let stand ,fivc min utes.t Roll and fold in remainder of the nutter. Roll and fold again. Continue until the paste has been rolled and folded five times. Let it stand five minutes until you get your pans ready. Then make your pie in the ordinary manner with upper and lower crust. However, I prefer to use the plain paste for the lower crust and the puff paste for the upper. If there is any of the paste left it may be kept sweet and good four or five days, by rolling in a piece of cheese cloth or an old napkin and putting it in a cool place. If you do not care to keep it over, make of the puff paste some cheese straws or some tarts. To make the cheese straws, which arc delicious, roll the puff paste one fourth of an inch thick; sprinkle one- half of it with grated cheese; fold over and roll out; repeat twice, add ing cheese each time. Then cut in strips six inches long and one-third of an inch wide. They will almost double in thickness in baking. Make tarts by cutting three-inch squares out of the paste; brush over with water and then bend the four corners toward, but not quite to the center; bake and when cold put jam. jelly or apple filling in tiie center. The apple filling is inexpensive, deli cious and easy to make. One cup of fine apple sauce, two tablespoons of butter, melted, one-fourth cup of sugar, one-half teaspoonful of lemon juice. Plain Paste. Mix thoroughly one half cup of lard with one heaping cup of flour and a little salt, then add only enough cold water to jiist hold the 'dough together. Roll out half the dough at a time on a lightly floured board. All should be done as quickly as possible, as the crust will be more tender and flaky.
