THE DUTY OF MOTHERS, What suffering frequently resulta from a mother’s ignorance; or more frequently from a mother’s neglect to properly instruct her daughter! Tradition says ‘‘woman must suf- fer,” and young women are so taught. There is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration in this. If a young woman suffers severely she needs treatment, and her mother should see that she gets it. Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examina- tion; but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham and.secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkham’s address is Lynn, Mass. Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South Byron, Wis., mother of the young lady whose portrait we here publish, wrote Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying her daughter had suffered for two ears with irregular menstruation— haa headache all the time, and pain in her side, feet swell. and was generally miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly replied with advice, and under date of March, 1899, the mother writes again that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound cured her daughter of all pains and irregularity. Nothing in the world equals Mrs. Pinkham’s great medicine for regu- lating woman's peculiar monthly troubles. TER WISDOM!

How the Nobility Dressed in the Reign of Good Queen Bess. Elizabeth’s day was a day of beauty and extravagance in men’s dress as well as women’s. When Queen Eliza- beth took up the reins of government, happinsss and prosperity once more spread throughout the kingdom. lt was in these days when England's trade, led by those renowned voyagers, Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Franc's Drake, began to stretch to the remotest corners of the globe. Money flowed into Britain’s coffers, and the Britishers spent it freely. The nobility maintain- ed large retinues of knights, squires, household retainers, and servants, and entertained royally every day. At an entertainment given the queen by the Earl of Leicester, the most astonishing prodigality was displayed, Among other sumptuous details, it was report- ed that 365 hogsheads of beer were consumed. The cardinal of the realm had in his household over 500 persons. Magnificent dress was the natural] ac- companiment of this style of living. A gentleman’s clothes were made of rich satin and velvets of divers hues. His sleeves were puffed out until the shape of his arm was entirely hidden; his doublet was stuffed from the shoulders down to the waist; and his trunk hose were enormously padded from the thigh to the knee, this whole suit being elaborately slashed so as to show the rich linings beneath. That glory of the Elizabethan days, the starched ruff, gave the finishing touch to a costume that was already so stiff and padded that if a knight were un- fortunate enough to drop his hat or his cane, he had to call for a servant to pick it up for him. These mon- stroysly puffed clothes became even greater in size during the reign of the following monarch,, for James I., being a timid king and fearful of assassina- tion, looked with great favor upon these padded clothes as a defense against the dirk or stiletto. To such an extent was this full-blown style of clothes carried that all of a sudden it burst. From pads and ruffs and wire frames, fashion suddenly veered around to a simple, easy and graceful style. It was no longer the ambition of a gentleman to appear as fat and burly as padding and stiffening could make him. It was now his object to be slim, graceful and elegant. His dress became a close fitting doublet, petticoat breeches, boots with wide, flapping tops, and a short cape. This suit was tastefully ornamented with delicate lace and embroidery, Alto- gether this is considered the best era of dress in England.—St. Nicholas. LUNCHEONS ON WHEELS. Distributing Kitchens Now Supply the Wants of Busy Londoners: This is an age of luxury. The “Dis- tributing Kitchens, Limited,” has made it possible for the busy city man or his typist—or both—to sit down in the of- fice to a luxurious luncheon, or for the budding barrister to give a banquet in his own chambers, says the London Daily Mail. That is, if the lunchers are prepared to be satisfied with an en- tirely vegetarian meal. and women,” says the prospectus, in- sinuatingly, “who do not wish to leave their office, can have dainty, light lun- cheons sent to them in well-appointed trays, in which cutlery, table cloths, etc., are included. Dwellers in flats who find a difficulty in procuring good cooks will find a solution in the sys- tem herein advocated. Suppose you have chambers in Charing Cross or Westminster, or anywhere within a four-mile circuit of Victoria street. Your maiden aunt has come up from the country, or a friend has looked in. The day is wet and you do not wish to go out. Drop an order-form, filled in, to the company. You can order “a la carte,” or you can trust to the es- tablishment and call for “tab.e q@hote!” the price list comprises a choice of Over 1,000 dishes. In any case, at the time appointed, a conspicu- ous yellow cart will drive up to your door, At the rear end of the van is a stove, heated by trays of charcoal, From the interior of the van the at- tendant will drawforth spotl napery of the most attractive kind, dishes and cutlery of electro-plate, and your lun- cheon or dinner carefully reposing in its component parts in dishes placed in a block tin case covered with green baize. The man will-call back for the dishes later in the day. For Moist Hands. Girls who are troubled with moist, clammy hands should use a plentiful supply of borax in the washing water, dusting afterwards with boracic acid powder or with the best borated tal- cum powder. Old gloves worn at night are sometimes successful in whitening and softening rough hands; oatmeal water allowed to dry on the hands is also an excellent bleacher. Growing Date Palms, It has been demonstrated that the date palm can be profitably grown in Arizona and northern Mexico, It is also held that the tendency of this tree to flourish in soil where other plants would not prosper will event- ually make date culture an important industry in the Southwest. Effort to Get Son Married. A youth sought to be married in Wilson county, North Carolina, but was denied permission on the ground that he was not of age. He then pro- duced this letter of consent from his father: “You may marry this boy to any female, regardless of age, color or \ nationality.” The devil never misses the church aes meeting. “Busy men} CATARRH THIRTY YEARS, A Remarkable Experience of a Prominent Statesman, CONGRESSMAN MEEKISON GIVES PE-RU-NA A HIGH ENDORSEMENT. CONGRESSMAN MEEKISON, OF onto, Hon. David Meekison is well known, not only in his own State, but through- out America. He began his political career by serving four consecutive terms as Mayor of the town in which he lives, during which time he became widely known as the founder of the Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large majority, and is the acknowledged leader of his party in his section of the State. Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising states- man. Catarrh with its insidious ap- proach and tenacious grasp, was his only unconquered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At last Pe-ru-na came to the rescue, and he dictated the following letter to Dr. Hartman as the result: “I have used several bottles of Pe- ru-na and feel greatly benefited there- by from my catarrh of the head. I feel encouraged to believe that if I use it a short time longer I will be able to fully eradicate the disease of thirty years’ standing. Yours truly, 2 “David Meekison.” Many people can tolerate slight ca- tarrhal affections. A little hoarseness, a slight cough, a cold in the head, ora trifling derangement of the digestive organs, do not much disturb the aver- age person in his business. But this is not true of the public speaker or stage artist. His voice must always be clear, - lungs perfect, digestion undisturbed. Hence the popularity of Pe-ru-na among the leading actors and actresses of this country. They have come to regard Pe-ru-na as indispensable to their success. Their Profession is so exacting that it re- quires perfect health in every particular, They regard Pe-ru-na as their friend and safeguard. Many letiersare received from this class of people. Miss Car- rie Thomas, in speaking of Pe-ru-na, says: “I have used Pe-ru-na with splen- ‘did results. Would not be without it. No money would hire me to have a settled cold cr chronic cough, or hoarseness. Catarrh is the most dreadful thing that could happen to one of my profession. Pe-ru-na is my shield and protector against this most undesirable disease.” —Carrie Thomas. If you do not derive prompt and sat- isfactory results from the use of Pe- runa, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
